Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 51

The cooks who came in together quickly became acquainted.Except for Xia Junyan, they knew each other more or less from the outside.Mrs. Fang, who specializes in dim sum, said: "I didn't expect that a little girl came to Jufulou. Shopkeeper Sun is very picky, but this girl has some skills."

Another person whispered: "Looking at her appearance, I'm afraid she is about the same age as my daughter. My little girl can't even embroider a flower well now. Hey, I don't know where the shopkeeper Sun is from." Finding such a person has never been heard of before."

The ladies glanced at each other, it seemed that none of them knew.Xia Junyan walked in front of them. Although the voices of the ladies were low, they reached her ears verbatim.

so embarrassing...

Xia Junyan walked silently.

The ladies seemed to be having a good time chatting, from the newcomer Xia Junyan all the way to what they had seen and heard in the county lord's mansion.

"Look at the clothes of those maids. I heard that they are only worn by second-class maids. They are made of good materials from Zhouji Cloth Shop. I was reluctant to buy one after a year. I thought about buying some when my daughter grew up. The door is sent to the county lord's mansion, and after a few years of serving, maybe even earn back the dowry."

"You're so beautiful! Just your daughter, who has rough hands and feet, can serve such a noble person?" The ladies next to her laughed and scolded.

It wasn't until the nanny who led the team coughed that the ladies fell silent.It turned out that the cubicle had already arrived, and everyone took their seats one after another, and the food was served after a while.Ordinary people eat in a lively manner, but looking up at this moment, everyone in the county lord's mansion is completely silent.The ladies sighed silently and ate quietly.

After dusk, the ladies who came to help the cook can go back to their rooms to have a rest.Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Junyan walked up to Mrs. Fang, and said politely, "Is there an old lady in Zhouji Buzhuang that the lady mentioned earlier?"

Mrs. Fang did not expect that Xia Junyan, who had been quiet all this time, would take the initiative to chat with her, and she was quite surprised for a while: "Yes. The old lady in Zhou's mansion is said to be very kind. A few years ago, it was snowing heavily in the north, and the old lady even gave her a hand. It’s porridge. It’s just that I don’t seem to be in good health recently, hey, I hope God will show kindness. Why did Miss Xia suddenly ask this?”

"I just heard that the Zhou Mansion wanted to find some good food for the old lady recently, so I asked." It seems that what Li said is true, Zhou Mansion really has an old lady who needs someone to serve.

"Oh?" Mrs. Fang asked curiously, "Could it be that people from the Zhou Mansion have found Miss Shang Xia?"

Xia Junyan waved her hand: "That's not true, it's just me asking around."

Mrs. Fang has a good sense of Xia Junyan. Seeing that the little girl is eating quietly and relying on her ability, she can't help but add one more sentence: "The girl is already a good place to go in Jufulou. Although the old lady of the Zhou Mansion is good, But in the end, it is also a place of right and wrong. The girl is alone, it is better not to go into this muddy water."

"how do I say this?"
