Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 222

I heard that Mrs. Chen's purpose of setting up this small banquet is to set up a girls' school in the future and teach the girls in the town to read and write.Xia Junyan felt that although she couldn't participate in it with her current status, she helped Mrs. Chen organize this small banquet for women's school, which was considered her contribution.

Xia Junyan thought wildly for a while, and found that the vegetables in her hand had not been cut, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling.She didn't even take care of her own affairs, she just thought about Mrs. Chen's important affairs, she was really beyond her control.

After tidying up my mood, I concentrated on cutting vegetables.After such a long time of training, her knife skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the potato shreds under the knife are thin and neat.It's just that a little maid serving food behind her suddenly lost her footing, and a bowl of soup directly splashed Xia Junyan all over.

"Why are you so careless with your hooves!" Mrs. Hu happened to see this scene when she came back after finishing the fish.

Fortunately, the soup in the mansion is not just for one bowl. The lady who cooks the soup over there heard the movement, and hurriedly filled another bowl for another safe servant girl to deliver first.

Fortunately, this soup is not hot for dessert, Xia Junyan's dress is only dirty.The little girl panicked immediately, and repeatedly admitted her mistake: "Don't blame Shopkeeper Xia, it's because of your clumsy hands and feet. This servant took Shopkeeper Xia to change clothes."

Xia Junyan saw that everyone in the room was staring at this side, and raised her hand: "Everyone is busy going by themselves! If something goes wrong, be careful that Madam will not spare you!"

When the little servant girl heard this, she was so frightened that she almost knelt down, and kept saying: "My servant knows my mistake, my servant knows my mistake, shopkeeper Xia will go around my servant this time."

Seeing that the soup was not hot, Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief.He also persuaded: "Master Xia, hurry up and change your clothes, this soup is sticky, it's not a problem to continue wearing this."

Xia Junyan glanced at Mrs. Hu, then at the little girl with a slightly face, staring at the girl whose scalp was numb, Xia Junyan still didn't make a sound.The little servant girl kept squatting halfway, although it only took a while, but she felt that her feet were a little numb.But I heard Xia Junyan's voice floating above her head, as if she was saying to Mrs. Hu: "No matter where you are a cook, you have to prepare several clothes for yourself. After all, there is heavy oily smoke in the kitchen. In case the diners eat well, you have to change your clothes before going out to meet people."

Mrs. Hu nodded again and again: "I have been taught! Shopkeeper Xia is indeed an experienced man!"

Xia Junyan helped the little maid up, "So when I came, I brought three sets of clothes into the house. They put them next door."

The little servant girl trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "My maidservant will fetch it for you."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she wondered if the little maid was frightened: "You bring it?"

Xia Junyan smiled and signaled Mrs. Hu not to be angry.Next to the kitchen is a small side room, which is specially used by Mrs. Chen for Xia Junyan to rest. It can be regarded as Xia Junyan's temporary residence in the Chen residence, so some of the more important things Xia Junyan brought are also placed there. I got Xia Junyan one, and the other is with the lady in charge of the mansion, who is currently serving beside Mrs. Chen.

"I think this girl has a lot of hands and feet, so I don't feel worried about letting her serve people now." Xia Junyan patted the little girl's shoulder lightly, and she could clearly feel that the girl's trembling became stronger every time she patted it. "You just follow me and help me fight, so as not to go outside and run into the nobleman."

The little girl's head was buried even lower. Although she couldn't see her face, Xia Junyan felt that the expression on this girl's face should be... wonderful.
