Sumei and others knelt down, but no one took the initiative to accuse them. After the initial panic, they became indifferent.
"Young Madam, I..." Sumei covered her cheeks with tears in her eyes and started to speak.
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later." Qi Yue interrupted her with a bit of impatience, "It's a disturbing dream early in the morning. Ah Hao comes in to comb her hair, and Ah Ru prepares breakfast..."
After that, he went back to the house and hung these people up to dry.
Sumei bit her lower lip, with shame and anger on her face, and looked at Aru again.
After receiving that slap, Aru had been standing aside without saying a word. When he saw her looking over, he turned around and left.
"What are you so proud of..." Sumei bit her lip and hummed in a low voice, twisting the handkerchief in her hand fiercely. "Kneel down and kneel down. If you don't tell me right and wrong, I won't get up."
Qi Yue sat in front of the dressing table and could just see the yard. She saw that the girls were kneeling obediently at first, but soon they started to stagger around. It was obvious that they had rarely suffered such a crime or had not suffered it for a long time.
"... She was originally in front of the old lady like us. Her mother-in-law was in charge of carriages and horses. It took a lot of preparation to send her to the old lady's courtyard, and she was courting her like a dog in front of my sister..." Ah.
Hao said, while biting the hairband in his mouth, he tied three rings in Qi Yue's hair, "...the old lady is no longer here, and was assigned to the second lady's room. I don't know how she got around, and ended up in the newly entered aunt's room.
Come on, this kind of rootless character was actually promoted to the second-class girl in the aunt's room, with her tail raised to the sky... Madam, you have forgotten, don't you know, there is no one in the aunt's room.
Qualified to be a maid... She thought she could be on an equal footing with Sister Aru... She didn't even think about it, but she was from the aunt's room, or an aunt brought in from the outer room..."
Qi Yue just laughed when she heard this. She didn't expect that this team of maids would have so many twists and turns, so how complicated the affairs of this noble family would be.
The Marquis of Dingxi is a new rich man. In other words, the Great Xia Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and basically the whole dynasty is full of new rich people.
The first generation of Dingxi Marquis contributed to the founding of the country. They followed the founding emperor on his expeditions in the north and south. Two generations of father and son earned this glorious family fortune. It has been passed down to the third generation who grew up in a honey pot. After the old marquis died,
, the eldest son Chang Rong ascended the title, married the daughter of the Xie family of a wealthy family in the capital, and gave birth to the eldest son Chang Yuncheng. Xie died of illness eighteen years ago, and the successor was Xie's younger sister, who is now the legitimate daughter of the family.
Mrs. Dingxihou, in order to distinguish herself from the first wife, she was called Xiao Xie.
"Ah? My sister-in-law married her brother-in-law?" Qi Yue turned around in surprise.
"Young lady, don't move," Ah Hao said hurriedly as he was inserting a hairpin into her head.
"Don't bring this with you. Don't go out. Feel more comfortable at home." Qi Yue took her hand and smiled, asking excitedly, "Tell me about this sister-in-law's marriage to her brother-in-law..."
Just when Ah Hao was about to say something, Ah Ru came in with a meal. When he heard this, he coughed.
"Young madam, it's time to eat," she said and glared at Ah Hao again.
Ah Hao was very familiar with this look and knew that she had said too much and said the wrong thing again. She stuck out her tongue and hurriedly came over to set the food and stopped talking.
The food we eat is still radish, pickles, millet porridge, and flatbread….
"Next time, let's bake pancakes. This dough will burn your heart." Qi Yue said.
A Ru looked a little ashamed.
"This slave is stupid," she said.
"I'll go to the kitchen soon and ask how to make it." Ah Hao added on the side.
Qi Yue raised her eyes to look at these two people.
"Oh." She suddenly realized, "You two don't know how to cook?"
No wonder this meal does not feel like a wealthy family in ancient times.
After hearing this, Ah Ru and Ah Hao laughed a little. They were maids who accompanied the housewife and were not cooks. How could they learn this?
Qi Yue also smiled.
"No need to ask, I'll do it." She said, stood up and walked out.
"Young madam, you have eaten too little, please eat more." Ah Hao hurriedly advised, looking at the rice porridge that had only been eaten for a few bites.
"Don't worry, we'll eat later." Qi Yue waved her hand and walked out the door.
The two of them didn't know what she was going to do and had to follow her.
Sumei and the others who were kneeling in pain in the yard heard the commotion and looked up to see Qi Yue coming out. They immediately knelt straight and looked aggrieved and proud. Unexpectedly, this person didn't wash up until three o'clock in the morning.
The finished young lady walked into the kitchen in a few steps without even looking at them.
"Sister Sumei, if she didn't wake us up, she would have kept kneeling?" a maid asked from behind in a low voice.
Sumei bit her lip and looked at the kitchen over there. The three masters and servants didn't know what they were doing, and there was faint laughter.
"Kneel down, what are you afraid of?" She sneered and replied to the girl, "When I had prestige for her in the past, she was worse than a servant. Now that she is living like a servant, she wants to show off prestige. I want to look at her.
What can you show?"
Although this young lady has been in Dingxihou Mansion for five years, and she has been with the old lady for two of them, she is not something that anyone in the family can see. After that, she has been locked up in the courtyard and disappeared for the past three years.
They are not familiar with temperament.
"Sister Sumei, you used to be in the old lady's house, and you are very familiar with the young lady, right? What's her temper?" A girl asked in a low voice, "We followed you here, so that we can understand and understand her."
Oh my god, this is just a kneel down, is it okay? Sumei glanced at this girl sideways, she will just be a fourth-class girl for the rest of her life.
"Speaking of this young madam." She smiled with a bit of contempt, "When the old madam was here, she really loved her in every possible way. I'm not telling lies. I didn't mean to be hypocritical at all. On the contrary, the three young ladies in our family all relied on her.
Finally, if outsiders didn't know, no one would have guessed that she was actually picked up from outside. She is obviously an old girl who is directly related to her..."
"It was the young lady who saved the old lady's life..." A girl whispered.
"Saved a life?" Sumei snorted and curled her lips, "How can a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old beggar girl save a life? I don't know what method, so the old lady was so obsessed that she brought her in.
It’s just a matter of raising them, just treating them like kittens and puppies, but you actually pointed them out to the prince, who is our prince?”
When she said this, she was so angry that she couldn't stand. Her face no longer hurt, and she let go of her hand and waved the handkerchief.
"Sister Sumei, everyone knows that she is not worthy. Now is not the time to talk about it. Please tell me quickly. Is her temper a bastard or a noodle?" the girl next to her reminded her hurriedly.
Sumei then returned to the topic.
"I can't even mention this. Whenever I mention it, I get so angry that my liver hurts. Don't even think about how angry my wife is. Our wife was seriously ill at that time, which must be related to this..." She stroked her chest and whispered.
, "Speaking of her, an orphan whose father suppressed her mother had no parents to control her. She ate hundreds of meals and wore hundreds of clothes. She hung out in front of the temple all day fighting for food with a group of chickens and dogs. She was manipulated by the old lady.
I still can’t get on the stage, she looks like a sneaky person, she can’t even ask a question in three sentences, not to mention she doesn’t even dare to raise her head when meeting the madam, even in front of us girls, she doesn’t even dare to raise her head.
She is like a grasshopper. She is always trembling with fright. She has no temper at all. Oh my god... I can't mention this again. Why should I kneel to her! She is nothing.
what is this!"
She was about to get up as she spoke, but luckily the girl next to her held her down.
"Whether she was a thing before or not, she is now in this position in our house..." The girl held back her smile and shook her two fingers at her.
In the Dingxi Hou Mansion, the old lady is the most respected person. Now that the old lady is gone, it is the Hou Ye’s wife who is the eldest, followed by this upright eldest daughter-in-law. The status of this royal wife is not comparable to that of the ladies in the family. As for the
The concubines of the Marquis have to stay behind even more.
"The position is that position, it depends on who is on it." Sumei snorted.
"It's quite lively."
The young lady's voice sounded, and a group of girls who were kneeling for a tea party were shocked to realize that the three people in the kitchen had come out.
"Young Madam, slave..." Sumei's face was no longer aggrieved at this time, replaced by undisguised anger, and she opened her mouth to speak.
"You are so happy to talk, so let's talk for a while." Qi Yue smiled and waved her hands, and walked straight into the house without stopping.
Sumei was so angry that she almost leaned over.
"Xian'er." She turned around and shouted behind her.
The rough girl kneeling at the end immediately knelt and moved over.
"What are your orders from sister?" she asked.
"Get up and go." Sumei said.
The rough girl didn't care about anything. She was already kneeling impatiently. Anyway, when the time came, she asked someone to support her, so she immediately stood up and ran away.
"Go and tell the mother in the hospital that if my aunt comes to see me, please take care of me. Sumei won't be able to leave after learning from the young madam." Sumei didn't expect that this girl would run away without saying a word or being polite.
Busy and slow, shout out instructions.
Fortunately, that girl didn't have any other skills. She was good at complaining to her backers, so she responded and disappeared in a flash.
Sumei's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and people in the room could hear her clearly.
"Young madam, she went to ask for reinforcements." Ah Hao stood at the door and shouted, "You are so brave, you ran away without permission."
Qi Yue was washing her wet hands in the basin brought by A Ru and smiled when she heard this.
"I thought I had gone a long time ago, but I am going now. The truth is." She smiled and continued what she just said while facing Aru, "In a while, the noodles will be made, and I will bake sugar cakes for you to eat."
"How dare you work young lady?" Aru said with an uneasy look on his face, "It's because we didn't serve you well..."
"Oh, please don't talk about this." Qi Yue took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, and Ah Ru went to pour water. Ah Hao was still standing at the door and watching, so she walked to the dressing table and opened it to look for Ah Ru on that day.
Hand balm for her.
As soon as I finished wiping my hands, I heard Ah Hao shouting.
"It's here, so fast." She said, with a bit of panic on her face, while looking outside, "Oh, it's Mother Zhou..."
After hearing this, Aru couldn't help but glance at Qi Yue who was still in front of the dressing table.
Qi Yue was still looking around.
"What's the origin?" she asked smoothly.
"It's Madam who is in charge of the warehouse..." Ah Hao's face turned pale with fright.
Those in charge of the warehouse, those in charge of logistics, and those in charge of finance were all close to the leader, so naturally their status was extraordinary. Qi Yue nodded, put down the things in his hands and looked outside, and saw a woman standing outside the door, followed by two people.
Three women.
This woman is in her forties, wearing a brown armor with a dark green tunic underneath, her hair is neatly combed, her face is round, and her facial features are friendly.
"What are you little hooves doing here so early in the morning?" She looked at Sumei and others and asked, "Your aunt is cleaning up the yard, and a group of little girls are running around without anyone paying attention. Now you are getting more and more angry.
Too big..."
Sumei and others saw her coming, with expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces.
"Mom, Mom." Sumei knelt down in front of her, crying and kowtowing, and raising her head high so that the red marks and scratches on her face could be clearly seen, "I collided with you.
