Chapter 275
After the hot water was ready, Xiaolan didn't rush away, she squinted her eyes and said to Honggu, "I thought you could become a phoenix by flying a sparrow on a branch before, but I didn't expect you to fall down overnight and become a village girl!"

Aunt Hong pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Xiaolan just joked, I was originally a village girl, so where can I fly to!"

Xiaolan sneered, "So you know it well! Why don't you want to be a vice lady, but you are willing to be a cook? I think you are too unambitious!"

In fact, neither she nor Honggu understood the truth of the matter. After all, the old lady and Mama Wang were afraid of being known by outsiders, so they guarded against them!
In the beginning, when Aunt Hong was picked up, Xiao Lan, who hadn't changed her name, had served her, and she had noticed the changes in the past two days.

Ms. Wang said that Honggu was originally bought to be the lady's personal maid, but unfortunately she was too clumsy to do the job, so she was asked to be the cook.

He also said that the eldest lady was getting married, and there was a shortage of manpower around her, so she promoted Xiaolan, the rough envoy, to become the second-class girl.

It can be said that Xiaolan and Honggu's identities were reversed in an instant, and Honggu accepted it frankly, while Xiaolan was a little ecstatic.

Seeing that there was no one in the kitchen, she couldn't help but sneer, but Hong Gu remained calm.

"Miss Xiaolan, quickly carry the water away, it won't be good if the water gets cold later!"

Xiaolan snorted, "Miss wants to eat meat buns for breakfast, have you steamed them yet?"

Only then did Hong Gu laugh and said, "It's already wrapped, and when the eldest lady finishes washing, the buns should be out of the pot!"

Xiaolan realized that her words didn't affect Honggu's mood at all, she couldn't help curling her lips, and left with the bucket.

Shutong accepted a new identity, Miss Yan Xin!

In Wangyue Village, she was used to being served by Hongxia and Cuiyun before, but now that she is the eldest lady, she still has someone to serve her.

The only downside is that Ms. Wang is always afraid that she will be overwhelmed if she eats too much, so she dare not prepare too much meat.

Shutong protested twice and even crushed the teapot in front of her face, so Mama Wang reluctantly agreed.

Breakfast is lean meat porridge, big meat buns with pickled side dishes, knowing that it is Honggu's handicraft, Shutong is quite satisfied with it.

After dinner, I strolled in the yard to digest my food, then I wandered to the kitchen, and saw Honggu soaking glutinous rice.

"Honggu, what are you doing?"

Honggu looked up and saw the eldest lady wearing a gold silk embroidered dress, she quickly lowered her head, "I have seen the eldest lady, I am going to make glutinous rice candied lotus root!"

Shutong carefully looked at Honggu's face, and found that she was not as nervous and cowardly as she had seen before, but a little calm, so she couldn't help but secretly nodded.

This girl's mentality is very normal. If other girls have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, but they get ahead of others, and they are knocked out of the dust, they may have a distorted mentality.

I couldn't help feeling fond of Hong Gu, and said with a smile, "Did you make the buns in the morning? They're delicious!"

Hong Gu smiled shyly, "The maidservant's family is poor, and she can only cook simple tea and light meals, as long as the young lady doesn't dislike it!"

Shutong was very happy, and took off the ring on his chubby finger.

This is when the little girl dressed her up in the morning, and Mama Wang also said that there is no daughter of the Hou Mansion who doesn't have a ring on her finger.

The pure gold slipper was stuffed into Hong Gu's hand, she froze for a moment, then quickly pushed it back.

"No! No! I don't want it!"

Shutong couldn't help saying and stuffed it to her, "This is pure gold, I gave it to you as a thank you for making me delicious food, you must keep it!"

Xiao Hong, who was following her, was a girl bought from a dentist, and she was originally a second-class maid in a wealthy mansion.

Seeing this, he stood up and said, "The eldest lady rewards you, just continue!"

Seeing that the girl's aura was completely different from Xiaolan's, Honggu felt a little timid, and dared not move while clutching the golden slip.

Shutong waved his hand and said, "Then you should prepare well, I am waiting to eat the glutinous rice candied lotus root you made!"

It wasn't until Shutong walked away that Honggu came back to her senses, and it turned out that Xiaoyue she saw that day was the eldest lady.

Although she is younger, she has the temperament of a nobleman. She smiles a little self-deprecatingly, only such a person can be a eldest lady, and she is more at ease as an ordinary village girl!
Carefully spreading out her palms, looking at the Jin Liuzi shining brightly in the sun, Hong Gu quietly raised her head to see that there was no one around.

He put the golden slip by his teeth and bit it, seeing a small tooth mark left on it, he wiped it with his hands in distress, and then carefully stuffed it into his bosom.

Turn around and continue to prepare the ingredients for noon with great enthusiasm.

Before Shutong returned to the main room, he heard a voice at the gate.

Mama Wang's chubby face was a little nervous, "Miss, someone has come to the house!"

Shutong calmly went back to the boudoir and sat down, and asked the little girl to bring her tea and snacks.

The old lady also came out of the wing room, stood in the courtyard, saw Shutong's demeanor, and nodded secretly.

Miss Xiaoyue didn't know where she was from, and she only looked a little like the eldest lady in her dress, but she was completely similar in her style.

At this time, the door was already open, and a group of people came from the corner door, with a middle-aged man with a goatee at the front.

A step behind him was a middle-aged woman with a mean face.

The two of them, one in front of the other, had a superior demeanor on their faces. When they saw the old lady standing in the courtyard, the group did not stop, but walked over.

Mama Wang hurriedly stood beside the old lady. The middle-aged man with a goatee didn't stop until she reached the courtyard. She glanced at the old lady and coughed, "Where is Missy?"

The old lady pursed her lips and said nothing, and Mama Wang scolded, "Butler Yan is so majestic, he doesn't know how to be polite when he sees the old lady!"

Steward Yan's beard trembled slightly, showing a contemptuous smile, and snorted through his nose, "It's because I'm blind, I've seen the old lady!"

He said hello, but his body remained motionless, and his tone was full of contempt.

The mean woman who was half a step behind him already sneered, "I haven't seen you for a while, and Mama Wang has become more prestigious. Is the old lady enjoying the blessings in the capital? Where did the old lady come from in this country village?"

The maid who followed behind burst into laughter.

Mother Wang was so angry that her face was flushed red. Speaking of which, the old lady was a wet nurse, and the one in the mansion was also born as a girl, but she became a concubine with some beauty, and she was respected as an old lady only after giving birth to a son. Who is noble!

Wanting to argue, the old lady held her back and told her to calm down.

He said with a smile, "Old and old, my eyesight is dim, it turns out that Steward Yan and Mama Zhang are here, you have worked hard all the way!"

Butler Yan snorted, "Doing things for the master, what are you talking about is hard work!"

Zhang's mother has sharp eyes and has already seen Shutong sitting in the main room eating and drinking. She squinted her eyes suspiciously and said coldly, "I haven't seen Missy for some years, why don't I see you?"

Mama Wang's heart tightened, but the old lady patted her hand, and said coldly: "The food and clothing in this country is poor, our young lady can't bear such hardships, food and shelter are not satisfactory, so naturally she grows slowly!"

Butler Yan pretended not to hear, and looked at the simple courtyard with his eyes.

Zhang's mother has already sneered, "Oh, it's fine in the capital, but it's squeamish to go to the countryside to recuperate!"
