Chapter 9: dispute

Views:

Aunt Fang led a group of little palace maids into the palace maid's office.

"You are the official maids for the broom and embroidery assessment." Aunt Fang swept her eyes at everyone, "I will live here from now on, and I will take care of you."

Everyone looked around at their future residence, and saw that the windows were bright and clean, the tables and chairs were complete, and there was a picture of Guanyin hanging on the wall. , comparable to the boudoir of some small wealthy folks.

In particular, there are two plates on the table, one with pea yellow and the other with kidney bean cake. The craftsmanship of the royal chef is not comparable to that of a small folk shop. With a picture of a bird, with distinct feathers and feathers, it is comparable to a work of art.

Jixiang immediately swallowed her saliva. Her family was not wealthy, and her family sent her to the palace just to keep her mouth open. Because she was often hungry, these two plates of dim sum were more attractive to her than Concubine Hui Gui's wrist. Her jade beads were still attractive. She stared at the two trays of dim sum and asked, "Auntie, is this a supper for us?"

"It's for you." Aunt Fang said, just as a hint of joy appeared on Jixiang's face, she heard her add, "But you can only watch, not eat."

Jixiang was stunned when he heard the words: "Why?"

"You entered the palace to serve people, not to be young ladies." Aunt Fang taught a lesson coldly, "hands and feet must be neat, and the description must be clean and tidy, especially the body must not be dirty, otherwise it will be smelled by the nobles. That is disrespectful, you will suffer, and I will not be good, so this fish will never be eaten, and one meal may be full, lest you be old and respectful."

The implication is that you can't even eat enough to eat, and don't even think about supper.

"It's getting late, you all go to bed." Aunt Fang looked around the crowd, her eyes stopped on Ji Jixiang's face for a while, and squinted, "I'll come over tomorrow morning, if there are fewer things on the plate..."

Auspiciously, he lowered his head.

The rest of the people also lowered their brows and pleasing to the eyes like her, standing in the same place as the wooden people, until Aunt Fang left, the group of wood came back to life immediately, and they competed for the beds in the house one by one.

"I sleep here!"

"No, this shop was my first sight!"

"It's yours that you fancy?"

Jixiang is an action figure. When others were still arguing about a window seat, she jumped on the kang head first, grabbed the best position in the house, and then smiled back: "Come on!"

"Hey!" Linglong thought she was calling herself, thinking that this fellow from the same village was quite interesting, and was about to walk over with her feet, but she saw her shaking her hands and shouting: "Yingluo, Yingluo, come here, I'll take a good place for you. Location!"

Linglong stepped out and stopped in the air, feeling extremely embarrassed in her heart. She only felt that everyone in the room was looking at her, and her face flushed with shame.

Wei Yingluo saw this scene in her eyes, and felt helpless in her heart. Although Jixiang's heart was good, she was a little outspoken. She didn't understand that a careless remark might offend others. After coming down, Wei Yingluo was also tired. She climbed up on the kang head with her bag, and Jixiang took the bag from her hand and smiled at her affectionately: "Yingluo, thank you very much today."

"It's a big deal, you've already thanked me for a day." Wei Yingluo looked around, "By the way, are all the new palace maids living in this room?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Jixiang looked at her suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Wei Yingluo smiled slightly, "I was just thinking, it would be great if there were one or two palace ladies who entered the palace earlier than us, and we can ask her for more advice on the rules of the palace, so as not to act accidentally in the future. taboo."

"You're right." Jixiang completely trusted her words, she sighed softly, and looked at the two trays of dim sum on the table again, "If I hadn't been afraid of making a taboo, I would have eaten it all by myself..."

A sneer sounded, such a mean laughter is also unique, the two looked at the sound and saw that Jinxiu was standing beside them at some point, and smiled at Wei Yingluo: "You are also true, you believe what she says. I see, where are you asking what the rules are, it's clearly someone who wants to curry favor with Auntie!"

It would be fine if Wei Yingluo retorted, but Jinxiu's sarcasm didn't even get a slightly hostile look in her eyes.

"It's getting late." Wei Yingluo didn't even give her a look, she turned to Jixiang and said, "Let's fix the shop, let's rest early."

"Yeah!" Jixiang, like an obedient little sister, immediately set up the shop with her, and even brought the pillows of the two of them closer together, so that the two of them could sleep next to each other. Can bite his ears and whisper.

Jinxiu only felt that she had become a clown talking to herself. She didn't dare to look back, for fear that she would see faces mocking her as soon as she turned around. In a hurry, she grabbed Wei Yingluo's arm and said angrily: "You speak a word!"

"What are you doing?" Jixiang pushed her in dissatisfaction and pushed her away from Wei Yingluo, "You are very annoying, sister Yingluo is already very tired today, can you let her rest earlier?"

"You don't have to speak for her like that." Jinxiu sneered, "Do you think she really helps you? I tell you, she is trying to show herself in front of Director Wu, you are just a stepping stone for her, we are all Her stepping stone!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Ji Xiang was in a hurry, and immediately jumped off the kang, rolling up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight Jinxiu.

"Did I say something wrong?" Jinxiu was unwilling to fight with this reckless guy, this kind of fool doesn't have any seriousness, she is too delicate and expensive, and hurriedly pointed the topic to Wei Yingluo, "If you don't believe me, ask her, today Is it for her own sake?"

Wei Yingluo glanced at her indifferently, how could she not see this person's careful thinking

The answer is no, Jinxiu will say that she is quibbling, the answer is yes, and she immediately falls into her arms, and simply continues to ignore her, spread out the folded quilt, and someone drills into the quilt, and a tired voice comes from the quilt: "Good luck. ,come over."

"Here." Jixiang, like a pet called by his master, quickly put Jinxiu behind his head, took off his shoes and socks and burrowed into the bedding.

"Okay, don't you dare to speak?" Jinxiu saw that she was ignored again and finally lost her mind. She hurried to the table. Apart from two trays of dim sum, there was also a fat teapot with ink and bamboo patterns. He picked up the teapot and returned to the Yingluo window, where the full pot of tea was poured onto Wei Yingluo's mattress.

"Ah!" Jixiang jumped out of the quilt and shouted at Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, what are you doing!"

"Tell her to step on us, and that's the end." Jinxiu smiled proudly, and at the end she didn't forget to turn around and ask everyone, "You said, should I do this?"

Laughter came and went, and the palace ladies said every word: "Yes, that's what you should do!"

"Call her the limelight!"

"No, compare us to mud!"

"You can have a long memory in the future, don't be so eager for quick success and quick success!"

Wei Yingluo slowly crawled out of the quilt and touched the quilt on her body with her hands, only to feel it was heavy and heavy, it was wet from the outside to the inside, and the night was cold and dewy. If you cover such a wet quilt, I'm afraid it will come out. sick.

The fire at the city gate brought disaster to Chiyu. Jixiang was sleeping next to Wei Yingluo, and her quilt was also splashed with water. Fortunately, only a small corner was wet, and people could sleep in the rest. She glared at the palace maid who was under the stone. , she pulled Wei Yingluo's arm and whispered, "Sister Yingluo, come to sleep, we two cover a quilt."

Wei Yingluo pinched her bedding and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled at her: "Wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she threw down the wet quilt in her hand, stepped on the embroidered shoes, got out of bed, reached out to push the door, and went out of the room. This action stopped the laughter in the room. Guilty.

Linglong, who had not spoken for Wei Yingluo before, could not help complaining at this moment, she frowned and said to Jinxiu: "Hey, why bother to provoke her, I see, she must go to the aunt to complain now. ."

Jinxiu was also a little uneasy in her heart, but she was still a little clever, and when she rolled her eyes, she said loudly to the palace maid in the room, "Isn't she showing enough limelight today? Dare to complain, we have so many mouths here, we are afraid of her. No way!"

The eyes of the palace maids lit up, and the truth was in their hearts.

All mouths are full of gold, and the three of them become tigers. As long as the people in the room insist that Wei Yingluo wet the bedding herself, and then deliberately framed it and framed it to Jinxiu

There are so many of them, but there is only one Wei Yingluo, who is neither a relative nor an acquaintance, so why should Aunt Fang believe her or not

"Jinxiu, you are too bad!" Jixiang jumped in anger, "I hate you!"

"Is it my fault, or is your sister Yingluo born to be hated?" Jinxiu covered her lips with a smile and asked the people around her, "What do you think!"

"Of course it's Wei Yingluo!"

"It's not pleasing to the eye to see her."

"An ambitious bad guy who knows to smack us..."

There was a lot of laughter and scolding. Although Jixiang tried desperately to refute Wei Yingluo, his fists were no match for four, not to mention so many open mouths. In addition, Jixiang's mouth is stupid, and his kung fu is better than cynicism. He is not the opponent of this group of people at all. In the end, he is half-dead with anger, his small face is flushed red, and his chest is heaving: "You, you group..."

"What happened to us, you said it!" Jinxiu stretched out her hand and pushed her on the chest, pushing her onto the wet quilt on the bed. Lucky was in a hurry. Seeing that she was about to fight her, there was a sudden clatter, and a bucket of clean water poured from Jinxiu. splash behind.

"Ah!!" Jinxiu screamed and instantly became a chicken.

She turned her head and stared at Wei Yingluo, who was carrying a bucket behind her, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Wei Yingluo smiled slightly, carried the remaining half bucket of water, and poured it all the way, immersing everyone's bedding in the water. But after hearing the screams in the house, the palace maids jumped off the bed one by one, cursing, "Yingluo, you're crazy!"

"unacceptable!"

"Yeah, we just said a few words to you, you actually treat us like this?"

"Let's go! Let's go find Auntie together!" Jinxiu raised her hand and wiped the water from her face. She was soaked all over her body. Wei Yingluo glanced, then lifted her foot and walked out the door, "I want to see if aunt can tolerate you if you do such a thing!"

Seeing that the situation has developed to such a degree, Jixiang is a little anxious: "Don't, don't, everyone, don't go, Yingluo is just impulsive, she didn't mean it! Yingluo, speak up!"

Wei Yingluo released her hand, and the empty wooden barrel fell from her hand, rolling down to Jinxiu's feet.

"Let them go." Wei Yingluo said with a half-smile, "Anyway, it's only them who will be unlucky, not me."
