Spring Banquet

Chapter 20: The fourth young lady who is worthless

Views:

"Ah!" the maid screamed, stepped back a few steps, and asked anxiously, "Miss Si, are you alright?"

Quickly tearing off the wet robe, Li Huaiyu looked up at her, with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

"It's all the servant's fault! The servant should be punished!" Xi Yun repeatedly bowed his knees and saluted, "The servant is in a hurry to get my young lady's breakfast, but I didn't see Miss Fourth here, so I thought it was some maidservant."

Look at this posture, it seems that he is sincerely admitting his mistakes, but the half-downcast eyes are really dishonest, turning left and right, revealing a sense of sarcasm.

Huaiyu couldn't help but let out a soft "tsk".

There really is a servant girl for every kind of master, and the second young lady Bai Xuanji is just a smiley face, and so is her maidservant, if she doesn't like her and wants to squeeze her, just say so, she has to laugh and apologize while doing these things Things come out, what's the point

"Give me some more." Putting down the tray, Huaiyu said to the cook behind.

The cook agreed, and hurriedly scooped up the porridge for her. Xiyun next to her saw that she had no intention of pursuing it, so she went into the kitchen with a smile, and put all the delicate meals on the stove into her own tray.

"Second Miss is waiting for her meal, and the slave will leave first." Picking up the things, Xiyun smiled at her, his eyes fell on the tray she had just put down, and his smile deepened, "I have wronged Fourth Miss."

Standing beside her, Huaiyu looked at her flamboyant back, and turned to look at the cook blankly: "Second miss's breakfast?"

The cook wiped her hands on the apron embarrassingly: "Miss Si, don't be angry, there are rules in the house."

"What is the rule that makes people who are also young ladies have such a big difference in treatment?" Huai Yupi smiled, "Let me ask my father?"

"Look, you're just making a fuss over a molehill, aren't you? The master is so busy, how can he have time to take care of this?" The cook quickly said, "Maidservant, can I serve you more food?"

Li Huaiyu didn't say anything, just stared at her.

The cook was startled by her eyes, and even a little flustered. Suddenly, I felt that the fourth young lady was more intimidating than the master.

But after thinking about it, she is just a concubine whose mother died, even if she is not stupid, no one loves and loves her in the house, what is she afraid of

Thinking of this, the cook regained her composure, and her attitude became tougher: "It's not that the slaves are talking too much, you should also understand who is in charge of this yard. If you are really dissatisfied, go to Madam and say, why bother us current people? ?”

Running to find that eccentric Bai Mengshi? Huaiyu sneered, and there would be no results if he searched for it.

Picking up the food again, she took a deep breath and turned back to the west courtyard.

The cook looked at her back fearfully and angrily, and when she was gone, she said angrily: "Hey, what a show of prestige you come to us, you really think you are a great master!"

The little maid who was helping the cook at the side replied: "Isn't it? Everyone knows that she will not have any great prospects. When the Jiang family comes to break up the engagement, let alone porridge, she will have no face to drink soup!"

"I'm just hoping that the Second Miss will give her some flair, so that she can recognize her identity!"

"It's almost there." The little maid smiled, "The masters are going to the Jiang Mansion for a banquet soon, and her clothes are not ready yet, so she won't be able to enter the gate of the Jiang Mansion by then, but she looks good."

The chirping sound, mixed with some curses, drifted into the morning light.

Huaiyu felt that she might have enjoyed too much luxury when she was a princess, so God couldn't stand it, and asked her to be the idiot fourth lady of the White House, so that she could experience the feeling of not having enough food and clothing.

It doesn't matter if you have a harsh breakfast, just treat it as a bowel cleanser. But for lunch and dinner, the dishes the kitchen gave her were terrible, and there was very little rice, and she would be gone after two bites.

Seeing the rice bowl in front of him that was cleaner than it had been washed, Li Huaiyu really wanted to shed tears of sympathy for Fourth Miss Bai. After all, she is a noble lady, and she messed up too badly!

"Miss Four." A nanny came outside and said in a sharp voice, "Master has sent a message that you are going to Jiang Manor tomorrow, and you are asked to get dressed and go to the front hall to say hello."

Huaiyu listened, but before she had time to respond, Lingxiu stood up from behind: "My lady will go right away!"

After finishing speaking, he bit off the thread in his hand tremblingly, and brought the silk dress to Huaiyu: "Miss, change it quickly!"

"This..." Looking at the scattered lotus flowers on the silk skirt, Huaiyu blinked, "Are you sure?"

"It's better than wearing your usual clothes." Lingxiu pulled her up and changed her clothes, "It would be even better if the master can't see you and give you some jewelry."

She could only think so, Huaiyu nodded, changed into her skirt obediently, put her hair in a neat bun, washed her face, and followed the nuns outside to the front hall.

Before going out, it is also the rule of the big family to check whether his daughter is appropriate. When Li Huaiyu walked to the front hall, he found that everyone had arrived. Bai Dezhong and Bai Mengshi were sitting in the main seats, and Bai Xuanji was standing in front of them.

She was dressed in silk and satin, and the neckline and skirt were embroidered with intricate begonia flowers. Bai Xuanji is holding a tall auspicious cloud bun, walking slowly with lotus steps, looking forward to her posture, she is really a qualified lady.

Bai Mengshi was very satisfied, nodded again and again, pinched the handkerchief and said to Bai De: "Look, master, our daughter looks like this, do you still worry about not finding a good husband?"

Bai De's face was serious, and there was not much joy on his face, but he still nodded.

With a movement of his eyes, he saw the timid person at the door, his face darkened immediately, and he shouted: "Still coming in?"

Huaiyu was taken aback by him again, thinking that this voice is really loud enough, every time she is either aggressive or yelling at her, can she still talk properly

With a flat mouth, she reluctantly stepped into the front hall.

Bai Mengshi and Bai Xuanji looked at her together, their eyes swept over her simple silk dress, and then at her empty bun and earrings, with disgust in their eyes.

Bai Dezhong frowned and looked at her: "You plan to go to Jiangfu like this?"

"Can't you?" Huaiyu said, tugging at the skirt, "The material is not bad."

Bai De turned his head to look at Bai Mengshi, who shook his head again and again: "I ordered some clothes to be sent to the west courtyard for her to choose. The one she chose has nothing to do with me."

ha? Li Huaiyu glanced at Bai Mengshi in surprise, and wanted to applaud her. The skill of talking nonsense with open eyes is really amazing! Not to mention a few clothes, can she give me one that is not embroidered well

However, Bai Dezhong actually believed it, and looked at her even more severely, saying: "You don't know the rules, and you have no taste. If you go to Jiang's house rashly, you will be ashamed of the family. I will go with your second sister tomorrow. You just rest in the mansion."
