Jinxi patted her forehead, let out a long sigh, struggled to get up from the warm bed, and muttered to Mo'er: "Get up, get up... tell him to sit obediently in the main room and wait for me.
.Don’t cause destruction!”
Ever since she said that Ying Qiyang would take him out of the house to play when he got better, her life of ease never stopped.
With the excuse that the snacks here were better than those made by his cook, he stayed in the small building every day without saying a word, and constantly urged her to fulfill her promise: to take him out of the house to play.
Alas, she thought about it too. But the problem was that after he fell into the water and had been raised for three to five days, the weather had not been kind and it had been raining day and night for more than half a month. She was so bored that she almost got moldy.
"Gege, Fujin sent Sister Xia'er to say that Mrs. Ya is bringing someone to the house today. Fujin asked Gege to go to the front hall to select someone in person." Mo'er, who had gone downstairs not long ago, came back upstairs in the blink of an eye.
Cheap girl's instructions.
"I know." Jin Xi slumped her shoulders and sighed. I'm afraid I can't escape this matter.
Although Qi Ling's fall into the water had nothing to do with him, he knew that his cheap father was not without anger.
Fei Yanggu was indeed very angry. If he had followed his original arrangement and had four maids guarding the small building, how could such a thing have happened?!
Fortunately, his son was fine, so he didn't spit fire at his daughter. After all, if his daughter hadn't been quick to save his son, he would have lost his son even after reaching middle age. He couldn't bear such a blow.
However, even if this was the case, he would not carry out the punishments and remedies that should be done.
The two maids and women in Qi Ling's house didn't cry and yell out the truth until they were half beaten. It turned out that they got the benefit of Shen Liqiu's one tael of silver and went to the cook of Yingxi House to inquire about the secret milk recipe. As a result,
The secret recipe was not found, but the young master missed the fun and almost caused a tragedy.
I don't know how good it is, but when he found out the truth, Fei Yanggu was so angry that he was furious. Wow! If you can get some benefits, you will slack off your duties. If you don't punish him well to set an example, and say that there are no rules in his mansion, anyone can do it.
Come on!! So, he personally watched and beat the two maids and the mother-in-law twenty times, then threw them into the woodshed and left them to die for two days. After that, the mother-in-law could not survive the cold night and froze to death.
Fortunately, the maid survived and was sent to the laundry room in the side courtyard, and was never allowed to step into the main courtyard again.
As for Shen Liqiu, this time she also angered Fei Yanggu. Even though her original intention was not to do anything treacherous or evil, she just wanted a secret recipe for non-smelly milk so that she could replenish her daughter Jinrou's body. She shouldn't
He used his brain to go to Qi Ling's house. Something happened, and he still said sarcastic words as if nothing happened. In the end, he was ordered to be grounded for half a year by Feiyanggu, and his salary was deducted for three months.
As for his daughter Jinxi, Fei Yanggu frowned and looked at her for a long time, and then said: "We have enough manpower, otherwise..."
It goes without saying that her Yingxi small building will have a lot more people to serve. Although she feels that her current life is comfortable enough, with a cook cooking three meals and snacks, a mounlai tidying up personal belongings, and a
She ordered the maid to clean the inside and outside of the small building once a day. In addition, she could do whatever she wanted, and she would never encounter a maid bending down and curtsying to her.
But after this incident, she couldn't defeat her cheap dad anymore.
Forget it, let's pick the maids, right? Since the cheap girl lets her choose, then she should pick a few who are well-behaved, sensible and obedient. I believe that with my years of excellent management career, I can train them to be decent and outstanding.
Well, thinking about it this way, it seems that it would be good to have a few more confidants.

"Sister, you're lying in bed again!" When Jin Xi washed up and went downstairs, Qi Yan was wolfing down the plum and vegetable shortbread that had just come out of the oven and was a little hot but couldn't bear to let go. When he saw Jin Xi, he laughed.
Jinxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. It's winter. If you don't sleep with a warm quilt for a while, is it possible to imitate him? Running through half of the mansion in the cold wind early in the morning to rob food?
"Sister, the rain has stopped." Qi Lang finally finished swallowing the piece of shortbread in his hand, took the wet cloth handed to him by the maid, wiped his hands gracefully, pointed to the outside of the house, and stared at Jinxi with bright eyes.
.
"I know. But I can't do it today. Mother asked me to choose a maid." Jinxi took the preserved egg and lean meat porridge brought by Mo'er and drank it in small sips.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
He drooled.
"Mo'er, give me a bowl for the young master. Didn't you even eat breakfast today?" Seeing his greedy look, Jin Xi asked the maid next to him helplessly. She came earlier and earlier every day.
In the future, if she is so active when she enters school, her cheap dad should be laughing.
"The young master said he wanted to come here for breakfast." The maid explained in an embarrassed low voice. She had already brought the breakfast to the table, but she was dragged to the main courtyard by the young master. Shouldn't she be punished? I heard that
A while ago, the grandma who served the young master unprofitably froze to death.
"Well, if you don't have breakfast in the future, come over and tell Aunt Liu, so that the young master won't be too hungry." Although he may not treat his stomach badly, he grabbed all kinds of snacks as soon as he walked in, but it is morning after all.
, Eating these greasy snacks on an empty stomach will hurt your stomach. Not to mention that you are still a baby, so your nutrition must be balanced.
"Thank you for your unpunishable kindness. I know this." The maid thanked her gratefully, and then carefully served the young master to drink preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
"How's it going? Isn't the porridge here, sister, delicious?" Seeing Qi Lang who was still fussing with her at first, Jinxi turned to eating and drinking the fragrant Cantonese porridge in the bowl, smiling proudly.
The ingredients for this preserved egg and lean meat porridge are not difficult to assemble, and most people have them in their kitchens. But not everyone knows how to make it delicious. The cook also practiced several times before making it as thick as it is now.
Thick, smooth, salty and delicious preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Speaking of which, Aunt Liu really loves to learn and research. In modern times, she would be a postdoctoral fellow. Every time she asked Aunt Liu to make snacks, she would study them diligently and practice them over and over again.
I will never give up until I say "yes" to Jinxi.
"Well... it tastes good... Lang'er wants to drink it tomorrow." Qi Yuan replied without raising his head.
"Of course...but there is a condition. My sister really can't go out to play with you today. If the weather is good in the future, it's not cold or rainy, and my sister is fine, then I can take Lang'er out, okay?"
A series of prerequisites were enough to make him wait until the beginning of the new year and into spring. Jin Xi secretly smiled, although he was ashamed that he had actually deceived a three-year-old child like this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made the winter in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty so cold?
, taking him out will undoubtedly encourage him to catch a cold.
Furthermore, the cheap brother is currently busy with the quiz before the new year. After the New Year, their current master will be driven back to his hometown by the harsh elders of the Ulanala family. It is said that this master has not returned to the countryside since the last time.
After worshiping the ancestors, he brought back an oil bottle. Instead of teaching properly, he only cared about raising the oil bottle all day long. Food and drink were all public funds of the clan. No, he was simply dismissed.
However, the new wife has not been confirmed yet. Therefore, the two brothers have been idle at home for a while. They simply wait until the New Year before fulfilling the little boy's wish.
"...Okay." Qi Yun tilted his head and wrinkled his nose, and reluctantly agreed, but then added a condition: "I want to eat that egg pancake tomorrow."
"No problem." Jin Xi nodded happily. It's just egg pancakes with shredded radish. It's simple. Just ask Aunt Liu to make two more tomorrow.
"It's warm here, sister!" While enjoying the delicious fragrant porridge with Qi Yun, the brothers Qi Ke and Qi Chen, whom they had not seen for a long time, arrived.
As soon as he entered the main room with the stove, Qi Chen took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. Give me a bowl too."
The neat Mo'er didn't wait for his instructions and had already served two bowls of hot porridge, plus a plate of shortbread and a plate of six steamed dumplings stuffed with chives.
"Brothers, you're welcome." Qi Ke curled his lips towards Jin Xi, picked up the hot preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and drank like Qi Chen. Qi Yun was so frightened that he was stunned for a while, seeing these two for the first time.
My brother looks more like a bandit than I do. They have always been polite.
"Brother, no class today?" After the two of them had finished their bowls of hot porridge, Jin Xi had the opportunity to ask. Based on the chill brought in when they entered the house, it was inferred that the two of them did not look like they had just come from their own yard.
"Well, Master is back." Qi Ke answered quietly. Qi Chen was still working on the steamed leek dumplings on the plate.
"Didn't you say it's the Chinese New Year?" Jin Xi wondered. She had just thought that they would have a long vacation after the Chinese New Year, but she didn't expect that the winter vacation had already started in the blink of an eye.
"What? Are you not happy that your brothers don't have to go to school?" Qi Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you worried that we will come here every day for breakfast?"
"Who cares about you?" Jin Xi rolled her eyes secretly. She was just wondering. Then she thought about how she was a little unfair because she missed three years of vacation under Mo Wansheng. Who allowed them to have a vacation to enjoy so soon?
.
"However, after the New Year, we have to prepare for the autumn, and we don't have much free time." Qi Chen said as he patted Qi Yun's little head next to him, "So, sister, take advantage of these few days before the New Year.
, you have to entertain your brothers well."
Huh, she said it as if this place was a restaurant!
"Xi'er, where did you find the cook here? The snacks she makes seem to be very novel." Qi Ke finished his breakfast attentively and then praised.
"That's right! However, Aunt Liu said she won't go anywhere and will take root here." Jin Xi narrowed her eyes and called, fearing that the capable Aunt Liu would be snatched away by her cheap brother.
"Haha... little girl!" Qi Chen pulled the orange ribbon tied up by Jin Xi in a funny way and nodded her forehead, "I won't fight with you, so why are you so anxious!"
Sorry, if she doesn’t declare territorial sovereignty in advance, who knows if they will take it away.
However, looking at the happy scene in this house now, it seems that Aunt Liu's work has not been in vain.
