Li Yin rolled her eyes before asking, "What kind of jobs are you good at?"
Qiu Shui was the first to speak: "This slave can make snacks, stew soup, and stew tonic."
"This slave is literate and can read the account book." Mingruo replied.
"Very good." Li Yin's figure is relatively tall among women. Ming Ruo is also slender and tall. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. "Jian Tong will serve me for dinner in a while."
"Yes, miss." Mingruo responded with a low eyebrow.
Mingruo usually doesn't need anyone to serve him when he's eating, so when it comes to serving Li Yin, he's very skillful.
Li Yin looked very satisfied with Ming Ruo, saying that she had served her well, and even gave her a piece of clothing to wear to see if it fit her.
"Auntie Qian'er just sent this to me. I don't like the color pink very much. I see that you are dressed appropriately, so I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Miss, for the reward." Ming Ruo saluted and thanked her.
Several people helped the young lady to sleep, and Mingruo took her clothes and went back to the room.
Mrs. Helian San arranged for Li Yin's two maids, Qing Xing and Bitao, to see that Ming Ruo had been rewarded by the young lady as soon as she came today. She felt very uncomfortable and blocked the door of the room where Ming Ruo and Qiu Shui lived.
"I really don't know what the lady likes about you. You can be rewarded for being clumsy!"
Mingruo is still considering whether to keep a low profile or to fight back in a high profile.
Qiu Shui used one hand to lift the two of them up like chickens and threw them outside the corridor: "If you are not convinced, just tell the lady. We were sent by the eldest lady to serve the lady. If you want to be the second master, go to someone else."
Take it with me, my aunt will not rub sand in her eyes!"
The two of them were a little stunned after the fall. Qing Xing was even frightened by Qiu Shui's fierceness and did not dare to say anything.
But Bi Tao was a tricky one. She got up and patted the dust on her body: "Don't you mind your own business like a dog! Did I talk to you?"
"I'm with Jian Tong, and if you bully her, you're bullying me!" The eldest son told her when he came, asking her to take good care of Jian Tong, "Don't think that I don't know where you are from, and it makes my aunt anxious.
, I will report you to the slaves and see who can protect you!"
Mrs. Helian San's two confidants were brought to the western border from Zhongzhou. They knew very well that Qingxing and Bi Tao were not natives of Zhongzhou, and they would definitely be arrested when they reported to the lowly slave station.
If you want to bring someone back, you need both connections and money.
The Helian family would rather buy two more maids as dowries than go to that trouble.
So, he hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "Don't be angry, Miss Qiushui, it's just Qingxing and Bitao who are ignorant. You, sir, have a lot, so don't be as knowledgeable as them."
"Yes, yes, the lady must have been in a light sleep just after taking a rest. It would be bad to wake the lady up." Another nanny also came to help.
"Hmph! If you show your teeth to us again in the future, you will rip off your head and use it as a ball to kick!" Qiu Shui waved his fist at Bitao.
Bi Tao didn't dare to say anything when she saw that her grandma was trying to say nice things to her. Qing Xing even shrank her neck and stepped back.
Ming Ruo secretly smiled in his heart, the person arranged by He Lianjue was really... simple, crude and easy to use.
"Let's go back to the room and rest. It's disgusting to have to clean up these cheap hooves after a long day." Qiu Shui opened the door and Mingruo followed him in.
The room is not big, with a wooden bed on each side, a table and chairs in the middle, and two wooden boxes against the wall, which can store some soft clothes.
Mingruo knew that he wouldn't be able to stay here for long, so he didn't plan to clean up properly. He put the bundle of clothes into the wooden box, shook off the bedding and started to make the bed, planning to go to bed early.
Although Qiu Shui didn't know who Jian Tong was, his soft, white and delicate hands didn't look like they were doing any work: "I'll help you lay it."
"No need, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me." Mingruo shook his head.
Qiu Shui made her bed in just a few strokes, and was about to get some hot water to freshen up, when there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Sister Jiantong, sister Qiushui, I'm here to bring you hot water." A little girl said outside the door.
Qiu Shui opened the door and smiled: "If you're interested, I'll have time to make candy cakes for you to eat tomorrow."
"Then I'll thank my sister first." The little girl put down the bucket and went out.
Mingruo and the others all went to bed.
However, Bitao and Qingxing were taught by two nuns, who held their ears and warned them that if they were sent to a lowly slave house, they would die.
Either he was thrown on a desert island to dry out salt, or he was thrown into the sea to fish for pearls. If he could survive a year, he was considered to have a hard life.
After all this hard work, Mingruo's life in Fuyuanxuan was pretty good, and she only did the light work of serving tea and pouring water every day.
In the Qingqiu Courtyard of Beigong Mansion, Xia Sheng was serving the young master to dress.
Beigong Langyue was someone who couldn't take care of himself, but Si Haochen didn't like having people around him.
He could only grit his teeth and endure it. If he looked carefully, the blue veins on his forehead would stand out - the days when his wife was away were too difficult.
Just after breakfast, Aunt Wei brought over a gentleman with a fairy-like demeanor. He looked really clean and fair-skinned, with a beard.
"This is Mr. Shui, whom the old lady invited from Qingchen Mountain, specifically to teach the young master to speak rationally." Granny Wei said.
"Oh, Mr. Shui, please come in. The eldest young master is painting. He is rude." Xia Sheng respected the gentleman from Qingchen Mountain from the bottom of his heart.
It is said that when the young master was young, he invited many gentlemen back, but none of them were able to enlighten the young master. Later, he was sent to Qingchen Mountain for the enlightenment education.
Mr. Shui looked at the man who was painting seriously in front of the desk and said to Xia Sheng, "You can just wait outside while I give lectures to the young master."
"Hey." Xia Sheng exited the study and gently closed the door. He only listened to his husband reading inside. The young master remained silent, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not.
The gentleman thought about it for half an hour and finally stopped.
Xia Sheng hurriedly brought tea in, only to see Mr. Shui sitting on a chair and gasping for air, while his young master was still drawing in front of the table.
"Mr. Shui, please take a break and drink some tea first. After the young master finishes painting, maybe he will listen to your lecture."
"Okay, Shui will wait until Mr. Shui finishes painting." Mr. Shui nodded, took the tea poured by Xia Sheng, and took a sip.
Xia Sheng exited the study. When Si Haochen heard the door being closed, he also came to the table and sat down.
He looked at Jun Che, dipped his fingers in water, and wrote on the table: What's going on over there in the imperial mausoleum?
Jun Che also wrote with water and replied: It seems that no one is guarding the tomb, but there are many masters ambushing around. However, there is no sign that the underground palace has been opened.
What is the situation in the Beigong family's forbidden area?
Si Haochen: The maze formation on the outside is nothing to be afraid of, but the protective formation inside is a bit troublesome. I haven’t gone deep yet because I’m afraid of overstepping the mark and alerting the enemy.
The two exchanged the information they had collected over the past few days, and Jun Che continued to study.
Si Haochen was thinking about his next plan in his mind, and saw that Lao Tie was so happy that he would curl up into a ball and stretch out into a strip...
