boudoir

Chapter 33 A Great God

Liuli remembered that when she saw Huanhua in the previous morning, she looked as thin as bean sprouts. It is common sense that even if the Qi family punished her harshly, she would not stop her from eating. Later, she did not move her chopsticks when eating. Now that I think about it, I just Feeling serious.

She asked, "Did Caiping say why?"

Rui'er said: "It is said that she fell ill ten or so days ago. She was fine at first, but that day she started to vomit after eating snacks in Madam's room. Madam suspected that the pastry was broken, but she was safe after giving it to cats and dogs. I also invited a doctor, but the doctor couldn't explain why, and now I'm taking medicine to protect my heart and calm my nerves, and I still vomit after eating."

Liuli frowned, and felt that it sounded like a symptom of poisoning, but if it was poisoning, there was no reason why the doctor couldn't find it out.

After pondering secretly for a moment, she said, "Then what do you eat every day?"

Rui'er shook her head, "I haven't mentioned this yet. The servant girl is afraid of a long delay, so she is back."

Liuli bowed her head and hummed, then raised her head half a day later and said, "Let's go eat."

Liuli thought about Huanhua's matter for a long time and couldn't come up with a clue, that's all, anyway, it's not her turn to worry about these things, no matter how cruel Qi is, she won't let her die at this time.

After all, when we first met in the Buddhist hall, she arrogantly blamed her for not knowing "Nirvana", and then taught her carefully. The scene lingered in her mind, so sometimes Rui'er would ask about Huanhua when she went out. Two sentences.

Before getting up that morning, Cuiying rushed in in a hurry: "Miss is calm, the eldest lady has already led your teaching and nunnery halfway, and seeing this appearance in a while, I don't know how to blame us for not doing it. I will serve you!"

Liuli woke up and dozed off, thinking that she had missed the hour, so she quickly got up, and the outside was dimly lit. She saw the copper leak on the corner of the table, and it was only a moment. At this moment, half of the people in Beijing are estimated to be under the covers Here, Mrs. Yu rushed to send her a nanny early in the morning, did she intend to cure her?
Anyway, it was the usual time to get up, she put on her clothes and crawled down to the ground, Rui'er had brought hot water for her to wash.Usually the three servant girls took turns to get up early to wait on her. Today all three of them got up, and even Tian'er and Cuiying pointed at her forehead and scolded her without replying.

Rui'er had just combed Liuli into a bun when someone outside the door asked, "Where did this person go!"

Cuiying hurriedly went out with Tian'er, Yu was neatly dressed at the gate of the courtyard, supported by red-sleeved Ziyan, she was standing on the porch, two maidservants holding lamps were in front, two behind, and beside her was a woman standing upright, His eyes are serious, like a killer.

After Liuli combed her hair, she also hurriedly led Rui'er out, singing An's bowed blessing and said: "Greetings to Da Furen."

Mrs. Yu glanced at Liuli, and said in harmony with the woman next to her, "This is Miss Nine. Is Madam Li still considerate of her etiquette?"

Nanny Li bowed and said: "Greedy and lazy, the sun has not yet risen, and the four limbs are not working hard. When the aunt comes here, she has never greeted her, and she has no respect for her elders."

With a smile on the corner of Yu's mouth, he said after a long time: "Nurse was personally recommended by the old lady, I believe she will be able to control the nine girls well."

Nanny Li said loudly: "Slaves will definitely spare no effort!"

Yu raised her eyes and looked around, and finally raised her foot and stepped into the threshold of Liuli's bedroom.Cuiying moved a plum blossom stool with a cushion, and poured hot tea with her own hands. Shi Yu took a look at her, but she was calm, and then retreated away.

Liuli braced herself to accompany Yu Shi, Yu's eyes slid from Tian'er's face to Rui'er's face, raised his chin and pointed at her, "What do you do on weekdays?"

Rui'er knelt down and looked back at her: "Back to Da Furen, Sister Cuiying assigned a slave to take care of the girl's daily life in the house."

Mother Li suddenly said: "Slap your mouth!"

Rui'er was startled, she opened her eyes wide and looked over, thinking she had heard it wrong.However, it was too late to say it, and in that instant, Nanny Li's two big slaps had already landed on her face.

Rao Liuli didn't think about this situation, she subconsciously looked at Yu Shi's expression, and saw her holding the tea in her hand and bowing her head, sipping it as if she didn't see it at all.

Rui'er covered her face, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, bit her lower lip with her teeth, half of her face was white, half was red and swollen.

Liuli sighed secretly, on the one hand felt sorry for her, but on the other hand felt worthless for her.After all, Rui'er is not as smooth as Cuiying, Yu's visit this time was determined to find trouble, she dared to make trouble, isn't she asking for trouble?

Yu said: "Mother Li, tell her why she was beaten, so that everyone present will remember it!"

Nanny Li bowed and said yes, then turned her head and hummed downwards: "How dare you raise your head when you are talking to the mistress, do you still have dignity in your eyes! This is still Da Furen's kindness, otherwise ten slaps would be worthless to you." It's light!"

Ruier finally cried out, tears falling down one by one.Liuli said: "Rui'er, why don't you thank Madam soon?"

Rui'er paused, answered yes with tears, and kowtowed to the ground: "My servant thanked Madam for her kindness, and I will never dare to disrespect my master again."

Yu Shi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said, "Get up!"

Tian'er Cuiying didn't seem to intend to disturb her, when Rui'er got up and backed away, she also stood up: "Madam Li used to serve the first aunt and the girl who served the first aunt, in the boudoir training Very good, from now on I will hand it over to Li Nanny, if anyone is disobedient, Li Nanny can just go back and forth with me!"

"The slaves obey!"

After Mrs. Yu left, the few people in the room were at a loss for such a god who suddenly appeared.Cuiying is old and treacherous, so she naturally stays far away at this moment, Tian'er didn't see Liuli and didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to sit down for fear of following in the footsteps of Ruier.Needless to say, Rui'er was afraid that if she breathed too loudly it would cause trouble, she even held her breath and kept silent, like a wooden stake.

Liuli looked at it for a long time, and had to stand up by herself, saying: "Should Tian'er go get breakfast? What are you still doing? Rui'er, go and clean up the empty anteroom, so that Mammy can stay. Cuiying, hurry up and pour it." Tea!"

Several people scattered like birds and beasts immediately, but Rui'er, who was walking at the end, gave her a worried look.With the mentality of soldiers coming to cover up the water and earth, Liuli turned her head and smiled at Li Mama: "Mama Li, please sit up."

With eyes downcast, Nanny Li went to the only chicken wing wood armchair with auspicious carvings and sat down, put her arms on the armrests, pulled her tense face and said, "Since Miss Nine wants me to sit , I will not be polite. The old lady called the old slave to serve the girl. It is my duty as a slave, and it is also the girl's blessing. There are a few ugly words in front, and the girl has to listen to it."

At this moment, Liuli sat down on a high chair next to the embroidery frame under the window sill, and she nodded quickly when she heard this, "Please tell me, Madam!"

Cuiying came in with tea, and Nanny Li took the tea, took a sip of it herself, and then pointed to the tea: "This is not tea for people to drink!" Angrily, she threw the teacup on the desk.Liuli quickly comforted her: "Mommy, calm down! This is the kind of tea we drink in the house. If you are not used to drinking it, shall I bring you some boiled water?"

This tea was brought from the storeroom, and it was made of tea foam thinner than pepper noodles. Liuli usually had her own private tea, and there had never been any visitors in the house, so she naturally ignored it. It is only logical that the tea noodles come out to entertain.

But compared with tea foam, boiled water is simply too bad.Relying on the prestige of the old lady, Madam Li naturally has no shortage of good tea on weekdays. Now she has slipped around the walls, and except for a big mahogany bed and this chair under her buttocks which are worth a little money, she can't find any more. After seeing the two things too well, I wondered if there was really nothing good to eat here.

I came here early in the morning to eat the cold wind all the way, and I really needed a cup of hot tea to warm my body, so I picked up the tea in silence, frowned and took a few sips.

Liuli watched from the corner of her eye, sitting upright with her hands on her knees.

After serving the tea, Nanny Li returned to her previous voice, and said slowly: "Follow what I said just now. I heard that Nine Girls grew up outside the mansion, and I think she has learned all kinds of stuff in her bones, so Even the fifth girl dares to hit her. What kind of crime is it to offend the elder sister? It is the next crime! The fifth girl is a concubine, and you are just a concubine. The nanny is beaten, aren't you despising the dignity of the eldest lady and the third young master?!"

Here she took another sip of tea noodles, spat off the dross on her lips, and continued: "Thanks to Da Furen's generosity and tolerance, I don't care about it. If you follow the rules, you should at least kneel in the Buddhist hall." Three days and three nights! Where is our He Mansion? It’s a second-rank nobleman in the capital! Our mansion can’t tolerate people running wild! So, it’s for your own good that the Master and Madam asked you to ask for advice. Sincerely, Nine Girls should cherish their cooperation."

After hearing this, Liuli took a long breath and said, "I accept all the wishes of Madam and Nanny."

A good guy doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, Liuli didn't plan to confront her head-on, she knew that life as a concubine would not be safe, and this Nanny Li was just the beginning.All in all, she just listens to whatever she says, and won't give her an offensive label again, right?

Not long after Tian'er brought the meal, Rui'er set the bowls and chopsticks, Liu Li saw that Madam Li was still sitting still, and said, "Let's eat together, Madam." Li Madam stepped on the end of the sentence and stood up: "How can you be so embarrassing? .” Rui’er added another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

On weekdays, the big kitchen shared a large portion of meals for the three maids, and Liuli had another portion, which was enough for her alone.Now that Nanny Li is on the table, Tian'er picks out her portion and puts it on the table.
