The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 27 Cursing at Xia Jinchai

"Because this new girl will really cause trouble, and there are all kinds of work in the kitchen in the morning, so to be sure, we didn't dare to make a hasty decision. We just asked Granny Zhu to bring her by my side and watch her. So, for the time being, the only job she is responsible for is chopping wood."

Widow Chen answered as a matter of course, combined with the busy situation in the kitchen in the morning, it really made everyone present unable to criticize.And in order to prevent others from talking too much, she specially added a sentence at the end: "At first, I was still thinking about it. Granny Zhu is getting old, should I find someone to help her? Just look at it now, eh~ I Let’s think about it in the long run.”

After Widow Chen finished speaking, she habitually glanced at everyone present.But he found that Yan Ruoling, who was just a bystander, was even more excited than Lord Chai, who was the person involved.The look in his eyes looked like he was about to tear himself apart.

"Chopsticks?" Xia Jinchai, who had been expressionless for a long time, finally smiled with satisfaction this time.Because a ridiculous picture appeared in his mind.It was a celestial girl who was dirtier than a mortal, dragged an ax thicker than her wrist and heavier than her, and struggled to lift it with gritted teeth.The target was a thick log piled as high as a hill in front of her.

"Yes, chopping firewood. In view of her frequent troubles and displeasure of the prince, Miss Ruoling and other girls, Minnv decided that from today onwards, if she finds that the firewood in the kitchen is not enough, she will have to add it in time, and even punish her." Three meals for the day. As punishment."

Hearing what Widow Chen said, Yan Ruoling smiled.Bai Jiujiu, who doesn't know how to praise and doesn't see, deserves to be exhausted by Chai He!

Xia Jinchai also laughed.This stupid girl who is overconfident must be the first person from the heavenly realm to starve to death in the human realm.The face of the heavens has been lost to her!
"Well, let's arrange it according to Chen Guanshi's wishes. After all, she is still young, and the work of the faction is probably not as easy as chopping firewood." Xia Jinchai put on a troubled look, and finally did Said like making a decision.

"Prince Chai is wise!" Widow Chen kowtowed to Xia Jin Chai, and then, "Since that's the case, I won't find another way to add work to her, Mrs. Chen, and let her continue chopping firewood."

"Chop it up. This job is quite suitable for her." Xia Jinchai said as he walked back to his seat.Yan Ruoling followed closely.

At the end, one raised his head and said to the widow Chen who was still kneeling on the ground: "The king sweated all over today in the rush to go to court, and he hasn't taken a bath yet. I need the steward Chen to make arrangements for this king."

Yan Ruoling was overjoyed when she heard it, and hurriedly replied shyly, "Ruoling got up late today, and didn't have time to take a bath. Please make arrangements for it too. As usual, a steaming rose bath."

Bath girl, bath!Bai Jiujiu almost roared on the spot.These dogs and men are clearly consuming their hard-earned firewood on purpose!

"Yes, I'll order someone to prepare it right away. Please wait a moment, the prince and Miss Ruoling." After speaking, Widow Chen took two steps forward, and with a vigorous effort of her arms, she gave birth to Granny Zhu who was kneeling on the ground. pulled up.While turning around, he winked at the kitchen crowd who had been standing there for a long time, and silently said "go".

Xia Jinchai watched Widow Chen's series of swift movements, and was not in a hurry to interrupt and puncture.It wasn't until the group of people walked to the door that they slowly uttered the word "slow".

Now, even if they wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb and get out, don't even think about it.Because Xian Shan, Xia Jinchai's personal bodyguard, is guarding the door.

Xian Shan heard his lord's order from a distance, drew out his long sword on the spot, and blocked the door.Immediately, Widow Chen and her party were so frightened that they dared not take a step forward again.

"My lord, don't you want to take a bath? This...how do we prepare it for you?" Widow Chen turned around and asked bravely.

"Food, you have to eat one bite at a time. Things, you have to do one by one." Xia Jinchai scanned the crowd, and finally habitually set his eyes on Bai Jiujiu's small figure.When he saw a pair of old hands resting on Bai Jiujiu's shoulders and patting them comfortingly, he suddenly realized that his eyes were convulsed again.

Immediately said calmly: "Chen Guanshi will not be so forgetful that he no longer remembers the purpose of my king calling everyone here?"

"This..." Widow Chen's face froze, and she put on an awkward smile in an instant, and said, "How come, everyone is just afraid of delaying the bathing of the prince and Miss Ruoling, and wants to prepare the soup first." Come back and continue to listen to the teachings of the prince and Miss Ruoling."

"Teaching will be avoided. This king is not in the mood to reprimand others."

"Yes, what the lord said is true. It is really boring to scold us. It doesn't matter if you don't scold us, or you don't scold us." Widow Chen continued to laugh.At the same time, he did not forget to secretly glance at the door with the corner of his eye to see if the burly man with a serious face put away his sword and left.It's a pity that every time I take a sneak peek, I end up disappointed.

"So, let's just get it over with." Xia Jinchai's thin lips curled up, and he spit out a few words that made everyone tremble.

Finished?Just because there was a foreign object in the food, he knocked out a tooth, and he wanted to pay with his life?

Immediately, everyone looked at Granny Zhu, who was also pale with fright, with extremely sad expressions.Although Granny Zhu was the oldest among the kitchen workers, she did as much work as anyone else.On the contrary, whether it is a cook or a small worker, all of them have received more or less help from her when they first arrived.Now, such a good mother-in-law is about to be dismissed...

"Why, because my king lost a tooth, shouldn't she pay the same thing as punishment for her mistake?" Xia Jinchai corrected his misleading words just now.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a misunderstanding.Because if it were normal, anyone who hurt Xia Jinchai, no matter men or women, no matter how old or young, whether intentionally or unintentionally, would have only one end—death!But it was different now, how it was different, and why it was different, he himself couldn't explain clearly, all he knew was that he didn't want that old woman to die now.

"Come on, are you guys going to do it, or is this prince personally sending someone to do it?" It was already Xia Jinchai's biggest concession to fight a tooth for a tooth.If such a big concession cannot be completed on the spot, then this group of people is really too indulgent.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to go in front of Grandma Zhu.On the contrary, everyone took a step back tacitly, leaving only Granny Zhu alone in the end.And Bai Jiujiu who didn't move a step.

Granny Zhu looked at Bai Jiujiu, who was full of guilt and self-blame, and said with a smile: "Jiujiu, come on, Granny's teeth have fallen out after being used for too long, you can just pick an easy one to pull out." .” After speaking, he opened his mouth.

Bai Jiujiu looked at this mother-in-law who had known her for a long time after only getting along for a day, and felt tears dripping down her eyes as her eyes became hot.

"Grandma, pull out Jiujiu's, Jiujiu has a lot of teeth, it's okay to lose one or two."

"Stupid child. You are so young, and losing a tooth is equivalent to damaging your appearance. If you can't get married because of this, wouldn't the mother-in-law be guilty? Mother-in-law doesn't do stupid things!" Grandma Zhu growled her mouth again and again. , Pointing at any tooth casually, Jiujiu will start.

Jiujiu's tears blurred her eyes, and she couldn't see how stiff and sad the smile on her mother-in-law's face was at the moment.However, she clearly felt that the person in the heaven that she had looked up to for a long time, admired, and even dreamed of, had changed.Become a little less heroic than before, become evil and vicious.An eye for an eye, thanks to his idea!
With a strong force, Bai Jiujiu pulled her hand out of her mother-in-law's.Then he gave Xia Jinchai a glaring look, pointed at Xia Jinchai's nose, and cursed: "Didn't you just win a few battles? What are you proud of? What are you crazy about? If you don't have a skin, you can't get it! I, Bai Jiujiu, will Let's see how long you can laugh!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Jiujiu waved her hands away, neither pulled out Granny Zhu's teeth, nor supported her, but walked straight to the door alone, waving her arms and yelling, "What the fuck is wrong with me?" Don’t do it yet! Whoever wants to laugh, I can laugh as much as I want! If you want to die, everyone will die together!”

Although the sad words were inexplicably incomprehensible, Bai Jiujiu's extremely disappointed expression was deeply imprinted in someone's mind.

Once upon a time, that wisp of pain eroded me day and night, making people desperate to give up.

Once upon a time, I obviously fell to the ground, but still raised my neck and said to the group of people, I see how long you can laugh.
