Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 65: Insect carving tricks (3)

Shen Yuechen put down the tea bowl, looked at her slap-sized face, and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Ming Xin's face changed, and she said angrily: "Because of the rain, the servant accidentally wet the hem of the skirt, thinking about going back to the house and changing into clean clothes before coming out. After changing the clothes, the servant came out and saw two I was about to pack up my umbrella, but I happened to bump into Miss Chun'e, and my servant was talking to her, but she cursed and said a lot of nasty words. The servant felt wronged and just wanted to speak clearly to her. , I don’t know where I offended her? Who knows, Miss Chun’e is unreasonable, she first pushed the servant girl, and then falsely accused the servant girl of deliberately pouring rainwater from the umbrella on her body, and pointed at the servant girl’s forehead to give her a good meal Scolding, and at the end of the day, she was ruthless... The servant originally thought that Miss Chun'e was the dowry maid of the young mistress, and she was an extremely decent person. Although the servant had grown up on her for a few months, she was always polite to her Angrily, what can I do, Miss Chun'e is so ignorant today, relying on the face of the young mistress, she beat and scolded the servant... The servant has been with the uncle for many years, and there are occasional small mistakes and small punishments, but never I have never suffered such grievances..."

While talking, Ming Xin deliberately dragged out a long voice, wiping her tears and weeping continuously, as if she had really been wronged greatly.

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen's expression remained the same as usual, she let out a casual "hmm", looked at Chun'e and said, "She's finished talking, you can talk about it later."

Chun'e wiped her face, glared at Ming Xin viciously, sniffed hard and said, "Miss, don't listen to her red mouth and white teeth, it's not like that at all. It rained this morning, servant girl I prepared the umbrella early, and waited to go to the main courtyard with the lady and uncle to say hello. Unexpectedly, Mingyue suddenly rushed out, without even saying hello, and just followed the uncle. Originally, the waiters were the same as in the past, but it happened This morning, it was Mingyue and Mingxin's turn to clean up the room. Mingyue left by herself, but the bathtub and washbasin in the clean room were not cleaned up. The servant went to Mingxin and asked her to clean up, but she dawdled on purpose. One moment she said she had a stomachache, another moment she said that the clothes were wet and needed to be changed, and she didn't do anything after a long delay. Although the servant girl was angry, she thought that the clean room couldn't be left alone, so she and Cuixin went to tidy it up first. After the servant girl and Cui Xin cleaned up, they went out the door, and saw Ming Xin and Mingyue standing in the corridor chatting leisurely, the servant girl couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward to remind them a few words."

Seeing that she was about to talk about something important, Chun'e stopped crying, breathed slowly, and said seriously: "The servant girl only said a few words in total, so Mingyue showed her face to the servant girl and said that everyone is serving the master. Slaves, helping each other is due. You help me today, and I will help you tomorrow, so you won’t tire anyone out for no reason. While she was talking, she deliberately threw an umbrella to drain the rainwater from the umbrella. After throwing the whole body and face of the servant girl, the servant girl was annoyed at that time, stretched out her hand and pushed her, but she turned around and slapped the servant girl hard, which made the servant girl dizzy on the spot and almost fell to the ground."

Shen Yuechen listened carefully, and suddenly asked: "Since you are arguing in the corridor, why did you drop the square vase of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in this room?"

When Chun'e heard the words, she immediately kowtowed her head a few times, choked up again and said, "Your maidservant was beaten, and felt wronged, and wanted to go into the house to complain to Mama Wu, but who knows, Mingxin chased after her and refused to let her go, and my maidservant ran away." He was in a hurry, and was caught by the hem of the skirt, and fell down just after entering the door. Cui Xin and Wu Ma also followed after hearing the movement, tugging, and accidentally bumped into the coffee table next to them, so... "

After Shen Yuechen heard Chun'e's words, although the expression on his face did not change, his brows were slightly frowned.

Seeing this, Chun'e immediately lowered her head, not daring to say more.

After hearing this, Mingxin showed contempt on his face, and said coldly: "Hmph! This servant knew that the eldest mistress is a well-educated lady, but she didn't expect that the maids around the eldest mistress were also eloquent, and they would be so upside down. black and white..."

Chunming heard this, and said sternly: "You girl is so courageous, in front of the eldest young mistress, you are trying to arrange someone's fault, aren't you?"

Ming Xin took the courage to stare back at her, and said: "I'm just telling the truth, why, she is only allowed to slander me, and I am not allowed to ridicule her? Could it be that she is the master of the young lady, and no one else can tell? Are you bullying others? Eldest young mistress, you are a sensible person, in front of your aunts earlier, you said that you want a bowl of water that is level, and you will not favor anyone if you help your relatives."

Chunming was in a hurry and wished she could scold her severely, but unfortunately she couldn't say many words because of the young lady's presence.

A good assistant does not help relatives.No need for them to explain, Shen Yuechen already understood a lot in his heart.Chun'e is straight-hearted and doesn't know how to calculate, so it's really easy to provoke her to make mistakes.

What happened today, on the surface, it seemed that the maids were arguing and fighting, and they accidentally caused trouble, but in fact, Mingyue and Mingxin did it on purpose. As for what it was for... She naturally knew it.

Shen Yuechen raised his eyebrows, smiled helplessly, and then said to the two of them: "You two made a lot of noise, and you smashed expensive things, there will definitely be some disturbances. The nurse in charge in our yard is Li Mammy, I don't want to favor anyone, so let her take care of you in person." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chunming and said, "Where's Mammy Li?"

Chunming lowered her head and said, "Nurse Li went out early in the morning, and she will be back in an hour after she was told, and the servants don't know where she has gone."

Mingxin and Chun'e had different expressions when they heard the words, but neither spoke.

Shen Yuechen was neither cold nor indifferent, neither angry nor annoyed, she only let Nanny Li take care of this matter, Mingyue and Mingxin's ideas, she knew, but it was inconvenient to expose, everyone wanted to pick high branches, they were already climbing high branches As a person, I naturally want to stand taller and stand firmer.

Mingxin and Chun'e knelt on the ground without moving, Shen Yuechen only told them to wait, but didn't let them get up.

At this time, she still has things to do, so she doesn't care about them, so she only asks Chun Ming to spread paper and grind ink.

Chunming hesitated for a while, and asked in a very low voice: "Miss, are you not going to help Chun'e decide?"

Shen Yuechen glanced at her lightly, then looked at Mingyue next to her with lowered eyes, and said in a neutral tone: "Stop talking too much, do your job well, don't waste your time and say silly things about helping your relatives. "

Chun Ming was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, thinking that the young lady must have plans, so she didn't dare to talk too much, and just followed the orders to do things.

Shen Yuechen went to the back of the desk and sat down, took out the account book and flipped through a few pages carefully, but saw Mingyue who had been standing still, came forward and asked, "Eldest young mistress, should the servants come over to serve you too?" ?”

Shen Yuechen didn't even look at her, and said quietly: "No need, aren't you on duty today to clean up the room? Chun'e just worked with a temper, so you may not be able to clean it up neatly, you can clean it up again, by the way Also clear out all the spittoons and rinse boxes in the house."

After hearing this, Mingyue's face turned red and white and became ugly, and she didn't move for a long time.

Seeing this, Chunming reprimanded lightly: "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear our lady's order?"

Mingyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, such things as emptying the spittoon were usually done by little maids.At this moment, Shen Yuechen personally spoke, she had to do it even if she didn't want to, then turned around angrily and left, only flapping the curtain.

Chunming spat and said, "Look at her frivolous appearance, she has become more and more arrogant, now, she should be beaten in front of the master."

Shen Yuechen turned a blind eye to Mingyue and didn't hear it, so he calmed down and copied the account book, secretly surprised while writing, only half a page was missing, and there were Huazhou orange red, Xueha cream and other extremely expensive things on it.

She was fascinated by the sight, but she heard a little maid outside reporting through the curtain: "Grandma, the oleander girl next to the old lady is here."

Shen Yuechen heard it familiar, so she came in to talk, and saw a pretty girl in pink clothes and white face, walked into the room with small steps, glanced briefly at Ming Xin and Chun'e who were kneeling on the ground, and came straight to the case, Fu Yifu saluted and said: "The servant girl Zhu Tao pays respects to the young lady."

Shen Yuechen raised his head to look at her, his eyes were very familiar, and he said with a smile: "Miss, get up and talk."

Zhutao smiled and said: "The old lady wants a hand-copied "Diamond Sutra". The old lady said that the young mistress must have it here, so she asked the slaves to come and look for it."

Shen Yuechen thought that the old lady must want to chant scriptures and pray for Brother Ming, so she immediately ordered Chun Ming: "Go to the cabinet and find that "Diamond Sutra" and bring it to the girl."

Chunming agreed, turned around to look in the cabinet, then held the oleander with both hands, and said with a smile, "Girl, please take it well."

Shen Yuechen put down the brush lightly, and said again: "It's getting hot now, Chun Ming hastened to bring a string of money to the girl, and go back to buy tea."

Zhutao was another blessing, took the money, and walked back briskly with the Buddhist scriptures in hand.

After seeing her leave, Shen Yuechen picked up his pen again, but still didn't look at the two people kneeling on the spot.

Since she let Nanny Li handle this matter, she is not afraid that the old lady and the eldest lady will find out, and it is impossible to hide it... Although the Zhu family is big, there are always people everywhere, and it is the easiest thing to spread the news.

Mingxin and Zhutao are acquaintances. She lived in the same room with her for three months when the west courtyard was overhauled earlier.Zhutao was luckier than her, because she was a good embroidery work, she was favored by Yang's mother, and now she is also a person who can speak loudly by the old lady's side.

Mingxin was a little worried, worried that she would gossip and make things worse.

Today's matter, I really started it on purpose. Originally, I wanted to come here for Chunming, and I only wanted to test Chun'e first. Who knows, the eldest young mistress was not sullen or angry from the beginning to the end, and only let Madam Li Mommy is here to let go.Nanny Li taught people a lesson, one after the other, if she provoked the suspicion of the old lady again, she might not be able to escape the punishment.

The more Ming Xin thought about it, the more panicked she became, and the aggressive aura she had just now disappeared. She couldn't help but lowered her head and wiped her tears with Chun'e next to her, but she didn't dare to cry easily.

Shen Yuechen copied another half page, looked at the word "bird's nest" and was slightly distracted, then remembered something and said: "Chunming, go to the kitchen and see, do we still have bird's nest? If there is any, let Wu Ma in the afternoon Take some time to make some bird's nest cakes."

Chun Ming nodded: "Miss, you have two boxes of bird's nest every month. You don't usually eat much, so there should be plenty in the kitchen."
