It was as warm as spring in the wing room. Rui Lan was wearing a small jacket and was leaning against the canopy bed. Her red and swollen cheeks had turned bruises, which showed that she had just been beaten multiple times.
On the small table next to the bed was a plate of fried and fragrant melon seeds. Yu Xiang moved a table and sat beside the small table.
"... I don't even look at my origins, I just came back to our mansion and I'm so flamboyant, look at it, the old lady loves the fourth young lady so much, but now the fourth young lady is beaten by her, old lady. You haven't peeled her skin yet!"
Seeing Yu Xiang's voice getting louder and louder, she didn't care at all, Rui Lan said anxiously, "My aunt, you can keep your voice down, if we ask the girl to come back and listen to it, should we stay in Sydney Courtyard in the future? ."
"You're afraid of her? I'm not afraid!" Yu Xiang spat and wiped off the skin of the melon seeds stuck to the corner of her mouth, "Didn't you see the attitude of the old lady and the eldest lady towards her? This person is also an idiot. The two people with the highest status in the manor have been convicted, and the lady is her own mother who doesn't like to see her, what else can she do in the future?"
He threw the melon seed rind into the burning charcoal basin, and a burning smell gradually spread out, but the aftertaste seemed to be oblivious.
"We are also unlucky. We are well served in Xingning Garden. With the qualifications of you and me, we often serve by the master's side. It is hard to guarantee that we will not be able to be masters in the future. Come on, let a vulgar village girl stand on the stall, what good future can I have in the future, it's really bad luck!"
This sentence really touched Ruilan's mind.
Although Rui Lan was only a second-class maid, she didn't have many opportunities to serve her up close in Xingning Garden, but a handsome and handsome person like Xiang Ye could make one's heart pounding just by looking at her, and Mrs. After she came out, her own conditions were not bad, and she had some ideas for a long time. Who would have thought that she would be sent to the Sydney Courtyard and suffered such a good beating on the first day.
Thinking of Qin Yining's powerful appearance, Rui Lan felt a chill behind her back, and she could not help but frown and persuade: "You haven't seen how powerful the girl is. I advise you to save some trouble, because she is also the direct daughter of Xiangye."
"What if you're a direct daughter, don't you want to live by our looks? Mama Jin is also very busy, what should I do to give her this good charcoal, she is used to collecting firewood in the mountains for burning, I'm afraid there is such a thing or not. Smoke and dust's silver frost charcoal." Then he laughed again: "But it's still cheaper for us to use."
"You." Rui Lan remembered that Qin Yining was not annoyed when she found out that something was deducted, and she was able to talk to them with a smile, and then thinking of the cold main house like an ice cellar, she felt inexplicably happy.
Yu Xiang ate a few more melon seeds, and suddenly laughed again: "She beat Miss Hui Ning like that today, and I don't know if she will come back."
"That's right." Rui Lan heard this and couldn't help but laugh.
Just as their hearts were darkened, the door of the wing was suddenly pushed open with a creak.
The two of them were startled, thinking it was a little girl outside, just about to reprimand them, but they were stunned when they saw the person coming.
In front of the door is a slender, beautiful woman wearing a honey-colored cloak, who is not Qin Yining who they are despising!
Looking at each other, Ruilan saw killing intent in Qin Yining's icy eyes, and then looked at Qin Yining's small smile, she couldn't help the chills on her back stand up, hurriedly put down her shoes, and couldn't even care about the pain in her body.
"Four girls, you are back." Rui Lan saluted.
Yu Xiang's complexion was also very ugly, and she followed Ruilan to salute: "Four girls."
"Don't dare, I am a vulgar village girl, how can I afford your courtesy? After all, Miss Yuxiang has such a character, if she stays in Xingning Garden in the future, maybe she can be a concubine."
Qin Yining walked to the bed with his hands behind his back, looked at the good silver frost charcoal in the stove and the peels of the sunflower seeds that had not been burnt out in the charcoal fire, and said with a smile, "How about the good charcoal given by Mama Jin, you two can still use it. Do you want me to send some more?"
Ruilan's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down when his knees softened.
What they said just now, they all told this poor family to listen!
This is a master who kills without blinking an eye. Even if he kills them, it will be fine. The big deal is that when you go to the government to report, you can arbitrarily put a crime on them, and you can get it by paying ten taels of silver. The old lady just doesn't like kissing. Granddaughter, will not bear ten taels of silver.
Ruilan shivered, and began to recall what he had said. Fortunately, it was Yuxiang who was hanging around, but he didn't say much.
Thinking of this, Rui Lan hurriedly kowtowed: "Miss, calm down."
"Relieve your anger? I'm not angry, so why would you say something?" Qin Yining didn't look at Rui Lan, but looked at Yu Xiang with a slightly raised corner of her lips.
Seeing that things had come to this, Yu Xiang was more stubborn than expected, raised her chin arrogantly, and said, "Young lady is joking, did you see who made me a concubine?"
Qin Yining looked up and down at Yu Xiang carefully, her eyes were like a knife that had been quenched with ice, and Yu Xiang's whole body trembled.
Yu Xiang felt that she was afraid that she was going to suffer, and she didn't know what to do with her
However, a girl who has just returned to the house, does not understand these rules of high-profile households, and I am afraid that she will not treat herself well, at most two times. Thinking of this, Yu Xiang felt a lot more at ease.
Just when Yu Xiang was thinking about how to report to her mother for help later, Qin Yining gave an inscrutable smile.
"I want to copy the filial piety, Rui Lan, come and help me polish the ink."
It seems that you don't intend to punish her
Yu Xiang snickered.
Rui Lan was also relieved, got up with a "yes", and pulled the wound on her body, and she "hiss" in pain.
Yu Xiang stretched out her hand to help Ruilan, and said dissatisfiedly: "The girl is too unreasonable, how can Ruilan wait for the pen and ink when she is like this. Otherwise, I will wait for you to grind the ink, and you will let Ruilan rest today. ."
The tone was strong, as if she was the master.
Rui Lan shivered all over, and continued: "The slave is fine, the slave will immediately serve the girl's writing and ink."
Yu Xiang glared at Ruilan dissatisfied after hearing the words, as if she was going to get ahead of her today.
Qin Yining saw Yu Xiang like this, and said amusingly: "Rui Lan is here to serve the brush and ink, Yu Xiang is going to boil water, I want to take a bath."
Yu Xiang's eyes widened when she heard the words.
She is a family child, and my mother is a steward in the outer courtyard. Since she was a child, she has been the top among the servants, and the masters walk around with shame. Where have you done such rough work as boiling water
"Girl, you just returned to the house, I'm afraid you don't understand, we are all just like a single manager, each performing our own duties, such as boiling water, naturally a little girl is responsible for the rough work, and the girls in other rooms have never heard of letting The maid next to you is going to boil water. For the sake of your reputation, the slaves should come to serve the girl's writing and ink." Yu Xiang not only expressed her dissatisfaction, but also made no secret of her disdain for Qin Yining's understanding of the rules.
Rui Lan was in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter if you are a slave. A slave can serve the girl's writing."
Hearing the words, Yu Xiang was very angry, and pinched Rui Lan's arm fiercely. What happened to this person, she was helping her out, and she didn't appreciate it!
Rui Lan frowned in pain and almost cried.
"Who is the master in this yard? Could it be that Miss Yuxiang wants to be the master of the house?" Qin Yining turned around and went out, saying without doubt, "Yuxiang boil the water, and the rest will come with me."
"Yes." The maids under the corridor should all be.
Only then did Ruilan and Yuxiang realize that outside the door of the small wing, Zhu Mama, Qiu Lu, and Liu Ya were all standing neatly outside, and they didn't know how long they had been here.
Ruilan hurriedly followed.
Yu Xiang pouted and reluctantly went to the small kitchen to boil water.
In the main room, Liu Ya and Qiu Lu were busy holding the lamp, while the little girl listened to Mother Zhu's instructions and went to prepare the charcoal fire. Qin Yining sat down on the rose chair covered with a pale green mattress in front of the black lacquer cloud-patterned book desk. Ruilan immediately placed the blue and white lidded bowl of carp playing lotus within her reach, and handed over a delicate hand warmer. Come over: "It's not too late to write if the girl is warm and warm."
Qin Yining was very funny. This person was beaten and turned into a more diligent person, which shows the truth of being good and being bullied!
The house gradually warmed up.
Ruilan took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, spread the rice paper, and took an ink stick to grind it carefully.
Qin Yining picked up a wolf's pen and played with the tip of the pen with his slender, light-white fingers, and said softly, "You came to serve me this time, but you were wronged and delayed your good future."
"The slaves don't dare." Mother Zhu took the lead, Rui Lan, Qiu Lu, Liu Ya and the three little girls all knelt down.
Qin Yining chuckled, revealing her white teeth like a shell, and her bright face was even more dazzling under the light.
"When you are in the prime minister's mansion, you must abide by the rules of the prime minister's mansion," Qin Yining put down his pen and looked straight at the saluting people, his eyes sparkling, and he said slowly: "Since Mama Jin has arranged for you to go to the Sydney Courtyard, you are mine. People. I'm new here. Although I'm not familiar with the affairs of the Xiangfu, and I don't know much about the rules of everyone's ladies, but tomorrow's grandma and Xixi will also be here, do you think I'll never understand anything?"
"The girl's words are serious, and the slaves dare not." Everyone kowtowed, and they were in a flash.
"Bullying students" also has a limit, not to mention that this girl is the only blood of the master, and it is only a matter of time if she wants to turn over!
Qin Yining's remarks made everyone more cautious and respectful towards her, and also gave those who came to Sydney Academy for the first time a sense of belonging.
At least, they now feel that following this girl is not without a bright future!
Qin Yining grew up in the market, and most understands the truth of "the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit". If you want people to follow her with peace of mind, at least people don't feel that they will lose their support anytime, anywhere. What she said just now was said several times in her mind, because she has no experience in commanding people, and she has no experience in admonishing others. In fact, Qin Yining was afraid that she was wrong.
