Chapter 27 Ask for your own suffering
Tang Shi greeted the two maids who had been standing behind her and looked forward with a smiling face. The smiling look seemed to be a provocation, with an optimistic attitude.
To be honest, even in Qin Yunuan's view, the two maids sent by the Tang family are really one in a hundred. One has a goose-faced face, big eyes, front and back upturned, plump limbs but slender limbs, especially the waist that is less than a handful makes it difficult to look away. The other is slightly inferior, but the face is It is a first-class beauty, melon seed face, big watery eyes, and the waves of eyes seem to seduce people's souls.
"These are the two maids I chose. I also know that Yu Nuan is working in the three shops in the east of the city. Not to mention that the Qin family has also had a lot of troubles now. They follow you to lighten your burden. It's not that these two maids have been taught before and will definitely serve Changxi well."
To put it bluntly, it's just sending two maids to share Qin Yunuan's favor. Qin Yunuan's face was silent, but showed a look of careful look and then very satisfied. She came forward and asked the round-faced maid, "What's your name? How old are you?"
The round-faced maid bowed her head obediently and said, "I'm 16 years old this year." Immediately, the other maid with a melon seed face couldn't help it and quickly replied, "I'm 17 years old this year."
Qin Yunuan's eyes shrank, and Man'er beside him immediately came forward and slapped the peony twice. With twelve points of strength, he left a five fingerprint on the beautiful face of the peony.
"How to be a slave? Did our young grandmother ask you? Don't answer easily without asking questions. Don't you understand these rules? Man'er taught Qin Yunuan a lesson.
Tang was shocked. Although this slap was full of slaps, it was full of Qin Yunuan's close maids, which was undoubtedly Qin Yunuan's attitude.
Qin Yunuan smiled at Aunt Tang: "I'm really sorry. There are many rules in my yard, and Man'er is also the big maid in charge of teaching my servants to set rules in this yard. Seeing those ignorant people naturally can't help beating and scolding the maid sent by my aunt. I hope my aunt won't be surprised."
Forget it, Tang didn't dare to be surprised. She smiled awkwardly: "Where, this subordinate is naturally in charge of ignorance. Since I have sent this maid here, it is naturally Yu Nuan's maid who teaches at will."
"Ok, I'm relieved by my aunt's words," Qin Yunuan smiled as brightly as spring flowers, but there are always sharp words behind such a smile. Qin Yunuan said to the lily and peony, "Although you are maids sent by my aunt, I am all treated equally and newcomers. The maid has to work with the third-class maid. If she performs well, there is naturally a chance to raise her salary, but if there is something hidden in her heart, I will never tolerate it.
This sentence is obviously to warn the lily and the peony to be honest.
"You two, go to the firewood house tomorrow to carry water and chop firewood. Man'er will come to watch you regularly." Qin Yunuan's downplayed words shattered the dream of lilies and peonies flying to the branches and turning into phoenixes.
As maids, anyone who has some ideas in their hearts hopes that one day they can become masters and be served. When Lily and Peony are picked by Aunt Tang from so many maids, they are single-mindedly that their hard life is over, but as a result, they The original job was a second-class maid, a relaxed man responsible for delivering tea and water. Well, it turned out to be a hard laborer.
Lily was timid and dared not say anything, but Peony wrote her anger completely on her face. She pouted and looked unconvinced.
"What, is there anything else you don't accept?" Qin Yunuan moved her eyes to Peony. Qin Yunuan's eyes were full of majesty and a kind of a sense of bullying, which made people feel a little afraid. However, the peony still spoke rashly for her own future. She raised her neck and seemed to be a negotiation gesture: "Third young lady, Aunt Tang sent me to be a maid, no It's hard work."
"Hmm." After listening to this, Qin Yunuan just snorted coldly and glanced slightly. This time, it was not before Man's turn to go forward to fan the peony. Aunt Tang had already rushed up and kicked the peony. Although the movement was loud, Qin Yunuan also knew that Aunt Tang did not do her best, but this was enough.
"I don't have eyesight, can't you see that the third young lady is testing you? One by one, how did I pick you out? It's really humiliating. After saying that, Aunt Tang smiled awkwardly at Yu Nuan again, "This maid's mind is also a little bad. It's all because I'm prey. I picked the wrong person. I'll send you a few more good ones tomorrow."
"No need." Qin Yunuan decisively refused. This time, a timid and reckless person who did not know the depth of the world was just easy to deal with. Who knew what good stubble Aunt Tang would send next time.
"Okay, Man'er, you can lead these two people down and teach them well." Qin Yunuan emphasized the word "teaching" and added, "Also, the name Peony is really too gorgeous for a maid. Let's change its name, it's called Begonia."
"A slave..." Peony still wanted to talk more, but thought of the two slaps she had just suffered and Aunt Tang's foot, and she put up with it.
The maid was taken down, but Aunt Tang also left happily. She thought that it was impossible to leave these two maids according to Qin Yunuan's personality, so she had prepared many countermeasures, but she did not expect that Qin Yunuan was left so easily. Although the process was a little tortuous, the flies did not bite. When Qin Yunuan is busy with the sewn eggs now, he must have time to worry about not being in the yard. At that time, as long as he uses some means, as long as one of the lily and peonies can be favored by Leng Changxi, that is the greatest achievement.
Watching Aunt Tang leave contentedly, Qin Yunuan couldn't help laughing at Aunt Tang's naive idea.
"Why did the third young lady accept these two maids? She was not afraid that these two maids would really be in power in the future and join hands with Aunt Tang to bully the third young lady?" Tingxue helped Qin Yunuan back and asked suspiciously. She knew that Qin Yunuan had always been cautious and would always minimize the probability.
Qin Yunuan glanced at the distance leisurely: "This is the Ning Palace, not as good as the Qin family. Even if I refuse the lilies and peonies sent by Aunt Tang, there will be moon osmanthus peony sent by others. Can I block it for a while, can I stop it for a lifetime?"
When listening to Xue think that Qin Yunuan had no choice but to compromise, Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled: "I'd better accept these two young people with ghosts and kill them as an opportunity to let people in the yard know that no one here can be presumptuous."
Kill chickens and warn monkeys, which is the ultimate goal of Qin Yunuan. Hearing Xue, she couldn't help nod with admiration. Sure enough, her master has never been an easy loser. This is also the reason why she admires Qin Yunuan and is willing to be a cow and a horse beside Qin Yunuan. She can always learn a lot from Qin Yunuan.
When he walked to the drooping flower gate, Qin Yunuan could already see Leng Changxi waiting for himself while practicing his sword in the yard. In the hot summer, Leng Changxi directly took off his coat, revealing his strong chest, showing perfect abdominal muscles. A set of Songshan swordsmanship practiced smoothly, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, fast and sometimes slow, and sometimes the sword went away. Front, sometimes silver snakes dance wildly.
Hearing Xue's sight, she had already retreated with interest, leaving Qin Yunuan alone standing alone in the hanging flower door to enjoy the meteor-like swordsmanship.
Dancing as usual, Leng Changxi suddenly picked up a yellow sachet on the stone bench, flew between his wrists, and picked the finely crafted sachet into snowflakes in the blink of an eye. The materials and spices inside were broken into pieces and fell one after another. Then he closed his sword, his eyes were sharp, and he said to a submissive woman beside him: "You I have received the sachet, and you are not allowed to appear in this yard again in the future. Otherwise, the next time I pick the incense bag, it will not be your tendons and hamstrings and your neck.
Qin Yunuan turned her body and saw a girl in red standing next to a happy tree next to Leng Changxi practicing sword. She was dressed in red and bright red acacia flowers, which was very suitable for the scene. The tight waist seemed to be telling endless charm, and the cherry lips were dotted and the willow eyebrows were bent. Face, I have to say that this woman has a bit of Li Qi's demeanor. Although she is slightly inferior to Li Qi's beauty, the flowing charm is enough to arouse every man's heart and make people not squint.
However, Leng Changxi is too lazy to look at her. This is also the puzzled point of this woman in red. Is she not beautiful enough? But God knows how many men in this royal palace have thought about her. Every time she walks through the garden and the pond, she can always get countless ambiguous eyes.
"Third young master, you didn't treat slaves like this in the past." The soft tone is like a sad and seductive Jiangnan song.
Qin Yunuan slowly approached. She gradually saw the face of the woman in red and felt very familiar. She remembered the woman she had met at Princess Ning's birthday banquet before. At that time, Fang Ziying told her that this woman's name was Xie Ruying and she was Princess Ning's distant niece.
"It's funny," Leng Changxi's words were full of jokes and disdain. "Didn't he treat you like this in the past? In my memory, I have always done this to you.
Xie Ruying was stunned, and her affectionate eyes seemed to be frozen at once. At this time, she saw Qin Yunuan approaching. Qin Yunuan, her most jealous woman, was smiling indifferently and coming this way.
