After a pause, she shook her head again and said: "Besides, a concubine is just a plaything in a rich family. If the mistress wants to make a fuss and punish her, the servants don't treat her as the master. Even the children of my daughter can’t be called their own mothers, they can only be called ‘Auntie’... I just can’t figure it out, why are there still people rushing to be concubines for others? Sister Huifang, don’t you think so?”
Liu Huifang saw that Zheng Xiaocui's face was getting more and more ugly, and remembered what she said behind her back in the village that she seduced Yu Hang, and grinned in agreement: "Isn't it! Marrying an ordinary family, although poorer and tiring, but you can live a happy life." There is dignity and freedom. I heard that concubines are sometimes inferior to capable maidservants, so why rush to be slaves?"
Zheng Xiaocui wished to tear Liu Huifang's complacent face to pieces, standing up and talking without pain in her back, if Yu Hang was snatched by her, would she still say that? It's a pity that Yu Hang is just a piece of wood, every time she shows her hospitality, the blind man will see it!
However, this was not the time to be angry with that bitch, Zheng Xiaocui squeezed out a forced smile, and asked curiously: "Xiaocao, what is the capital like? Is it fun? I have only been to the town as far as I can. Isn't it bigger than the town?"
Xiaocao didn't want to talk to her very much, and wanted to say a few casual words to cover it up, but seeing the curiosity in Sister Huifang's eyes, she picked up a few representative examples of the prosperity and excitement of the Great Imperial City and told them about it. .
Zheng Xiaocui showed a yearning expression, and murmured: "If you have the opportunity to walk the streets of the imperial city, you will die without regret in this life... Xiaocao, you have been promoted to the princess, do you want to change your house?" Big one? Is there a maidservant, can you see me?"
From her point of view, the Xiaocao family can buy someone as clumsy as Erya. She is smart and quick to do things, and she is still competent as a maid.
Indus, who had packed up her presents and luggage, entered the room just at this moment. Hearing this, she looked her up and down, then sneered and said, "Is it just you? It's not easy to be a rough envoy in our house." Not enough!"
It's fine if Xiaocao doesn't take her seriously, a servant dares to taunt her easily, a sense of humiliation rises from the bottom of her heart, Zheng Xiaocui is so angry that her neck turns red: "Xiaocao, don't worry about it slave!"
Yu Xiaocao was concerned about the last feelings between fellow villagers, so she said a word to Wutong in a salty way, and then said: "Xiaocui, the servants in the mansion are managed by her and another girl, Pipa. She took your joke just now seriously. This girl is outspoken, so don't take it to heart. "
As soon as Wutong said the words, he regretted a little. After all, I am a guest. Although I have never heard the lady mention it before, it may be a bit of friendship to be able to come and visit the lady as soon as she comes back. After hearing what the young lady said, seeing that the young lady didn't scold herself, but instead spoke for herself, she put her heart back into her stomach—this little girl is not to be liked by the young lady!
Wu Tong hurriedly followed the young lady's words, and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaocui, so you were joking! In fact, what the servant girl said just now is not wrong. Anyone with a certain status in the capital will always come from Guanya selects maids. Over there, an ordinary little girl has to go through two or three years of training. The maids in our house are all top-notch. Just kidding, if you really want to join us You have to sell yourself to the government to study for a few years. However, the official teeth are not accepted by just anyone. A girl who is about ten years old needs to be trained for two years. You... To be honest, you are old It's a little bit, but it's not easy yet, and I'm going to be released to marry again. Most people will choose younger ones."
Zheng Xiaocui was so angry that tears were about to come out, and she shouted at Xiaocao angrily: "Yu Xiaocao, don't think that you are the princess, you can spoil others at will! Don't forget, you were also poor back then. You can’t even eat enough, now that you have money and power, you can look down on your friends who grew up together? I didn’t expect that you, Yu Xiaocao, are such a person!!”
"Shut up! Who are you shouting at?" Wu Tong's expression changed, and he snapped with a bit of majesty, "It was you who said that you wanted to become a maid in the mansion, so I kindly told you about the situation in the mansion! If you If you don’t like to listen, you can come to me and shout at our princess? It’s our master who cares about fellowship, otherwise, a person like you who is rude to the princess would have been dragged out to beat him long ago!!”
"Okay! You fight, you fight!! Let the villagers see how you, Yu Xiaocao, humiliated and spoiled your friends after you became rich. I misread you!!" Zheng Xiaocui felt a little Very timid, he said sternly and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Yu Xiaocao calmly picked up a cup of tea, put it on her lips and took a small sip, dipped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said without any ups and downs in her voice, "Zheng Xiaocui, when I was young, I I went out with you to dig wild vegetables and pick up seafood, but it was all because of Sister Huifang's face. At the beginning, you went to Yang Junwang's side more frequently than you appeared in front of me. So, You don't have to put gold on your face if you use the word "friend!"
Xiaocao, who has always been easy-going, talks and smiles, restrains the smile on his face, and suddenly becomes strange. The nobility and aura exuded from her made people look up to her. Even Liu Huifang couldn't help breathing lightly, and her heart contracted.
The sunlight shines on her body through the glass window, as if it is plated with a circle of gold, dazzling like a god, making people dare not look directly at her. The majesty from the inside out, the gaze that dared not look at him, told them that the girl in front of them was no longer within their reach.
"Besides, you recommended yourself to be a servant girl in our house, and you can't stand a little test. With your attitude and temper, I dare not invite you even for the sake of my fellow villagers. I need What you want is a loyal, obedient, and capable girl, not a young lady to go back and confess!" Yu Xiaocao took Wutong's difficulty just now as a test of character.
Zheng Xiaocui took a breath, summoned up the last courage to fight and said: "Okay, I was wrong just now! I just don't feel sorry for the maids around you, who can trample on my dignity at will..."
"Dignity? I think you still haven't figured out your position. A servant has no dignity at all in front of the master. When the master gets off the horse and gets off the carriage, he uses his back as a pedal; the master's shoes are dirty and he kneels on the ground. Wipe it clean; if you make a slight mistake, you will have your pants stripped and beaten in public... These actions that do not have 'dignity' in your opinion are all slaves! Zheng Xiaocui, if you want dignity, don't easily say that you are a fool! Slaves!"
Yu Xiaocao picked up a hazelnut and handed it to Chunhua who heard Zheng Xiaocui's shout and came in to protect the Lord. Zheng Xiaocui was stunned for a moment—that thin-looking maidservant cracked the hard hazelnut shell with her hand.
Xiaocao put Chunhua's peeled hazelnuts into her mouth and ate deliciously like a little squirrel with her mouth puffed out. She loves to eat delicious nuts, but she doesn't like to shell them. When Zhu Junyang was by his side before, this task belonged to him.
"Thirsty... Indus, soak a pot of the Dahongpao bestowed by the empress and give it to Sister Huifang to taste!" Yu Xiaocao suddenly ordered after eating a few hazelnuts.
"Yes!" Indus bowed obediently and left the room backwards. After all, she has been a master and servant for many years, and she can immediately understand what the master thinks.
Wutong brought a complete set of Kung Fu tea, and the movements were elegant and smooth, washing, brewing, sealing, dividing and serving the tea in a smooth and smooth way... coupled with the incomparably fragrant tea fragrance, lingering in the nose, giving people supreme enjoyment.
Qiushi brought the guzheng, and in the corner of the room, she flicked it lightly with her bare hands, and the elegant and soft sound of the zither filled the indoor space. Yingchun took the incense burner and mixed the elegant lotus fragrance that the young lady likes most...
"Sister Huifang, try it. This top Dahongpao is produced from a hundred-year-old tea tree on the cliff of Wuyi Mountain. It has a strong and long-lasting aroma like orchids. This old tea tree only produces two or three catties of tea a year. , all paid tribute to the palace, it is difficult for others to taste it!" Yu Xiaocao picked up a teacup with three fingers, lowered her head to sniff the lingering fragrance in the cup, and sipped slowly in three sips.
Qianqian's bare hands, as white as jade, and the gentleness of bowing her head, added a bit of beauty to that fairy-like person. Liu Huifang was so stunned that she even forgot to take the tea offered by Wutong.
Seeing Yu Xiaocao surrounded by four maids, Zheng Xiaocui couldn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy and unwillingness. When that person's status was so different from hers that she would never be able to reach it, she could only stand in awe and admire him from a distance, daring not to have any other thoughts.
As for being Xiaocao's maid, Zheng Xiaocui didn't have the nerve to open her mouth to mention it. Perhaps at this time she has already agreed with what Wutong said in the depths of her heart, she is nothing in front of the four maids, and perhaps the maids who do rough work in the mansion are not competent for her.
The maidservants around Xiaocao, regardless of their appearance or demeanor, are even more graceful and elegant than the so-called big ladies in the town. But this kind of person is willing to serve Xiaocao, and sincerely regards her as his master. Only then did she realize that Xiaocao is no longer the Xiaocao she used to be!
However, if she didn't give it a try, she would be sold to an old man who was older than her grandfather as a concubine. Zheng Xiaocui clenched her hands, making the final struggle. This time she didn't play tricks, but directly told Xiaocao about her current situation, hoping that she could point out the direction for herself.
With tears in her eyes, Zheng Xiaocui slowly shook her head and said, "My father only wants to sell me now, so as to save money for my younger brother to marry a wife and earn a fortune. Unless I raise the equivalent money, I can only accept my fate and marry me." Give it to an old man who is almost sixty years old, and be his twelfth aunt."
I didn't expect Zheng Laojiu to be such a person! Yu Xiaocao frowned lightly, sighed, and said, "There is only so much others can do to help you, and you have to rely on yourself."
