Chapter 95
Gently opening the lid on the second stove, a gust of hot air rushed over.Hongmei squinted her eyes in disgust, waved away the thick white hot air, and reached out to grab the lid of the stewing pot.

But she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her fingertips, which made her shudder and almost threw the cover on the ground.

Looking around, I saw a rag by the stove, guessing it was for preventing hot hands when opening the lid, so I picked it up and put it on the stew pot, carefully lifted the lid, and put it aside.

Aunt Ying's scolding Xu'er was faintly heard in the distance, and Xu'er's occasional aggrieved and helpless rebuttals could be heard.Hongmei sneered, took out a small paper bag from her waist and opened it, poured all the powder inside into the stew pot, found a chopstick from the side to stir, and heard Aunt Ying's cursing voice, and began to approach the big kitchen , quickly restored all the items to their original state, sat by the stove and pretended to be dozing off.

"You still don't admit that you broke something, do you think you can live with it? You little hoof, I won't accept your dishes. Let's see what you can do to me!" He spat hard on the ground.

Hongmei pretended to be awakened, and said blankly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Aunt Ying thought she was too tired and fell asleep, and didn't take it seriously, complaining: "Xu'er, that bastard, she was still smearing and cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor when I passed by. I kindly help her Lighting up the lantern, she was fine, she actually wanted me to take those pieces of porcelain back to the kitchen by myself. My mother-in-law has been working in the mansion for so many years, and she has never heard of anyone doing such a thing. I am afraid she wants to rely on me , What a bitch!"

Hongmei smiled secretly, but she showed a surprised look on her face: "Xu'er usually keeps silent, and I really don't see such scheming. When she bumped into me just now, she also tried to push away the broken thing. Give it to me."

"So as the saying goes, it's hard to paint a tiger's skin but it's hard to paint its bones. If you know people's faces but don't know their hearts, the ancients will never deceive me." After repeating a famous saying that she didn't know where she heard, Aunt Ying felt that she had such a literary talent and was proud of herself. Said: "Fortunately, Miss Hongmei reminded me just now, so I was prepared and I missed her trick."

Hongmei smiled leisurely, fiddled with her nails and said: "We are all servants in the house, and we should help each other. It's just that Xu'er is now the person next to Miss Di, and if I offend her, I'm afraid she will hold grudges in her heart." , how to retaliate."

Aunt Ying's face froze, as if she was a little regretful, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Hongmei, so she said stubbornly: "One person does things and the other person is responsible. If you are offended, you will be offended. What can I do? Xu'er smashed Miss's body Now I refuse to accept the tableware, so she can only go back with the tableware. Looking back, the lady looked at it, and she didn't know how angry she would be. At that time, whether she can continue to be this big girl or not, why should I be afraid of her. "

Hongmei wished that she would take all the responsibilities on her body. She was not afraid of Hongmei or Huo Tianxin, but that didn't mean she could ignore the existence of the old lady.Now that there is one more person standing by his side, it is a good thing after all.

The things that should be done have been done, and by the way, temporarily attracting Aunt Ying over, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Aunt Ying is an old man after all, and she thinks more thoughtfully than us little girls. All right, then Aunt Ying works hard, so I won't bother you for now." gone."

Then he turned around, and as if he remembered something, he slapped his thigh angrily: "Look at my bad memory, today's dishes don't suit Missy's appetite, and Missy doesn't use much. Does Auntie Ying have any soup or something like that here?" , let me take it back to pad the lady's stomach?"

The ones stewed on the stove were just the same, so naturally there was nothing extra for her.Aunt Ying was a little embarrassed, "Miss seldom eats at this time, and I haven't prepared anything here. Why don't you wait, and I'll cook soup for Miss right away?"

Hongmei thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "It will take at least half an hour to stew the soup, right? Forget it, the eldest lady only planned to drink a small bowl of soup, if not, forget it, I will peel some fruit for the eldest lady later. Just top it off."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left in disappointment. Aunt Ying wiped her hands on the apron in embarrassment, and chased after her through gritted teeth: "Hey, Miss Hongmei, don't rush to leave. If the eldest lady wants to eat a lot, I really don't care." method, but it’s just a bowl of soup, and it can still be evened out.”

What a joke, the serious master in the mansion doesn't even want to drink a bowl of soup, if the old lady who loves the young lady the most finds out, wouldn't she call her a slave and bully the master?

Eyes turned around on the two stoves, took out the exquisite small stew pot from the cabinet, and lifted the lid of the second stove, suddenly, white steam rushed to the face.

Aunt Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her sleeves and waved them a few times to push away the heat, picked up a dishcloth on the side and put it on top of the stewing pot, lifted the lid, and said casually: "Miss Hongmei, the old lady has a lot of bird's nests. It’s good to give it to the eldest lady, what do you think of this chicken soup?”

Fearing that Hongmei would refuse, she hastily added: "This chicken soup has been stewed for an hour. It is stewed with red dates, longan and cooked ground. It is the most beautiful and suitable for young women."

Hongmei couldn't wish for it, so she glanced into the big stew pot, deliberately showing hesitation: "But this stew pot was ordered by the madam to be made for the master, right? If I pretend to take some away..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Aunt Ying waved her hands repeatedly, took a spoon and put a few spoonfuls of soup and meat into the small stew pot, and said flatteringly: "It's just a bowl of soup, anyway, the master can't finish a lot by himself , I usually share some with Huo Ping. Even if a bowl is missing, I won’t notice it.”

"Is that so?" Hongmei gratefully took over the small stew pot and covered it, "Then Hongmei will thank Aunt Ying for the eldest lady."

A few compliments made Aunt Ying smile like a flower, and waved her hands again and again: "Miss Hongmei, you are welcome, this is all within the scope of the mother-in-law's responsibility, so thank you. As long as Miss Hongmei remembers that mother-in-law If the child is good, we will be satisfied."

Hongmei smiled, put the small stew pot into a food box, turned around and left the big kitchen.In the darkness, the grateful smile quickly turned cold and turned into deep disdain.

No wonder he could only hang out in the kitchen all his life. To put it bluntly, it wasn't because he was stupid.

Because such a small favor can make the relationship with her closer?In the end, it is unknown who died.

How ridiculous!

The light green figure swayed and sank into the night, gradually receding.Aunt Ying watched for a while, and when the figure disappeared completely, the smile on her face gradually faded, she spat at the corner of the wall, and walked back to the stove muttering.

"Hey, you guys all the way, why are you pretending?"
