Chapter 1603: Tiger Girl 87
Liu Ruxu was so angry that she lost her appetite and felt uncomfortable after eating it. It was almost because of looking at her that she couldn't eat.
The Lord of Jiashun County who was standing next to him had a sarcastic expression on his lips. He picked up a small hibiscus shrimp ball with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He seemed to be eating it with great grace, but was a bit delicate and pretentious.
Zhao Yingxue, who was sitting on the right, seemed to be trying to lighten the atmosphere by smiling gently: "It's rare for Third Sister to come here once, so I'd better eat some, even just one bite. These hibiscus shrimp balls are very fresh and tender, even I ate some of them, and it was so fast." I’ve eaten it up. Let me pick one up for Third Sister!”
After saying that, one hand held the sleeves and the other held the chopsticks to pick up.
Xining said calmly: "My stomach has been cold these days, so I'm not suitable for eating meat. Since it's delicious, it's good for you to eat more."
Zhao Yingxue paused, then put the shrimp balls into her bowl: "Thank you, Third Sister."
"It's really annoying to be in poor health." Liu Ruxu seemed concerned, but her words were strange: "Tell the chef to prepare two delicious vegetarian dishes."
"No need to bother." Xining refused directly: "I don't know what happened, but third brother and I both had gastrointestinal discomfort. Third brother had a stomachache this morning, so he didn't come to the appointment. So I stopped eating. If If you feel uncomfortable after returning home, you can find the reason in the house.”
Anyway, I have made up my mind. If I don’t eat, I won’t eat. Don’t even think about adding anything to the meal. Even if Zhao Yingxue had eaten it first, it didn't matter. Even if it was a dish that had been eaten, the medicine could still be given, as long as it didn't go into her mouth. Let's see how dare they force the medicine into her mouth in front of everyone.
This is a good reason, because I don’t dare to eat casually because of gastrointestinal discomfort. If I don’t eat, it will have nothing to do with others if my stomach is uncomfortable when I return to the house.
Liu Ruxu's face was gloomy, but there was another noble lady who said: "It seems that Miss Zhao San is a careful person and thinks about the Taifu's house."
Xining smiled and said: "Actually, you are also careful and considerate of others. Otherwise, how could you be so transparent and say everything in my heart."
The noble girl was secretly happy and kept saying: "Where is it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ruxu choked with a glare. The fierce look in her eyes made the noble woman's heart skip a beat, but then she raised her eyebrows. No matter how big the Tutor's Mansion is, it can't be bigger than the General's Mansion. Everyone knew that Zhao Yingyue, the third son of the family, was looking for a suitable match. Originally, he did not expect to be favored, but the Zhenguo General's Palace only valued character and talent, not family background, which made many young ladies of small officials have their thoughts. , let alone the noble ladies from the capital who are above the sixth rank in the mansion.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Yinghong, who was worthy enough to be a relative of the emperor, be engaged to the eldest son of the Zhou family, a ninth-grade county official?
Another noble lady said: "These dishes are exquisite and delicious, and the royal meals in the palace are nothing more than that."
Liu Ruxu's face looked a little better: "The master who invited the cook was once the royal cook in the palace. When he was old, he was released from the palace and took on two apprentices outside. He had learned the true story and worked as an errand in the third prince's house. Knowing that there was going to be a flower viewing party in my house, I asked him to come over and help me for a day.”
"That's it, no wonder..." In order to please Liu Ruxu, some noble ladies praised Liu Ruxu one after another, which made Liu Ruxu very useful.
At this moment, a maid serving the dishes suddenly shook her hand, and a few drops of soup from the dish spilled onto Xi Ning's shoulders.
Qiuye, who was kneeling on the small mat behind him, immediately raised his eyebrows: "What's going on?"
When the maid saw it, her face suddenly turned pale. After putting down the dishes, he immediately knelt down, put his hands on the ground, put his forehead against the back of his hands, and said with sincerity and fear: "My slave is careless, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Zhao Yingxue frowned: "It's all dirty. It's too careless."
If your clothes are dirty, you will definitely feel bad. Looking at the few drops of red sauce on Zhao Yinghong's shoulders, many ladies felt a sense of humor. Liu Ruxu was furious: "How did you do this? How dare you dirty the dress of the third lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Someone, drag her down and beat her thirty times."
Logically speaking, Zhao Yinghong should have said it was okay at this time and spared the maid.
But Zhao Yinghong just sat there, motionless.
Liu Ruxu waited for a long time, while Zhao Yinghong allowed the maid to be so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy, but there was no response.
Everyone was watching. Liu Ruxu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "Did you hear what I said? Why don't you pull me down and beat me!"
After the servant girl was dragged away by two strong women, her pleas could still be heard from a distance.
The head of Jiashun County sneered coldly: "Miss Zhao San has such a hard heart."
The corners of Xining's lips curled up, then he pretended to say: "Why do you say I have a hard heart? My heart is very soft."
The Lord of Jiashun County doesn't care whether others can show off or not: "It's obvious that just one word from you can save this maid from punishment, but you just don't say anything."
Xining seemed stunned, and then defended with grievance: "This person is from the Taifu's house. Miss Liu is disciplining her slaves. Why should I interrupt? Could it be that I ordered this maid to be beaten? Don't you know?" , I said something to prevent this maid from being punished this time. If she makes a mistake again, will it be said that I interceded for her and made her make mistakes because she didn't have a long memory? Know that people’s hearts are fearful.”
Doesn't it mean that people don't know how to be frightened, but it implies that they are infinitely stupid.
Xining didn't think it was enough, so he turned to Liu Ruxu: "Do you think so, Miss Liu?"
In fact, she just refused to save her, but she said so many things, which turned her into a cruel person and punished her servants severely. Liu Ruxu could only force a smile: "Miss Zhao San is right. This time she will be exempted from the penalty. If she is still negligent, there will be no guarantee of the next time. If you are punished, remember it, and it is for her own good. Otherwise, you will be fined directly." Sell it out, whether she is dead or alive, good or bad.”
After saying this, I had already secretly scolded Zhao Yinghong several times. This maid is a confidant and plays it safe. Even if she sprinkles a few drops of vegetable soup, she still does it as if it were real. Her skirt is not too dirty but not too dirty. But now I have to hit him, and I have to hit enough thirty boards, otherwise it will be known that it was a fake penalty, which will be a big trouble.
Now that that's done, let's continue. Liu Ruxu said with concern: "I wonder if Miss Zhao San has any replacement clothes. If not, I will immediately ask someone to prepare a set."
"The brothers and sisters in the house are all tall and generally don't have suitable clothes. So every time I go out, I always have two sets ready." Xi Ning's words were full of confidence.
The Zhenguo General Mansion was a military general, and they were all tall. The general and the prince were even more muscular. No one would believe them if they went to the Guandi Temple to play with the eighty-pound Guan Gong sword.
Zhao Yingxue has a pretty good figure. With Zhao Yinghong's figure, it is unlikely that she can find a suitable dress for a young lady in the Taifu Mansion. She can probably only wear men's clothes or rough work clothes for tall women.
But Zhao Yinghong is a paper beauty, and has been sick twice in three days. Fortunately, it was sunny and warm today, so she took off the cotton cloak outside. It was probably the first time since spring that I took off my cloak.
