Chapter 496
In the inverted room, Roulan tried her best to give out a silver ticket that was redeemed at the sight of one hundred taels, and finally temporarily calmed the angry Chang Mama, and then dragged her tired body to the upper room.
"Shhhh Liuli stepped forward, grabbed Roulan, pointed her finger in the direction of the clean room, and whispered.
Roulan's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked a little unquestioning, "Why did you say that you moved her?"
"My sister is stupid, that person is a guy who loves vanity and doesn't want to admit it, as long as she follows Mao and says something obedient, she doesn't want her to do anything, she will do it. Liuli pulled Roulan to sit on the Luohan bed, pushed the dim sum she had just picked up from the kitchen to Roulan, and said with a smile.
"Well, you still have a way. Roulan smiled and picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it in three or two bites, then said vaguely.
Liuli had already delayed too much time here, if it weren't for the sake of reminding Roulan, she would have left when Qu Yao went in to take a bath, so after a few words to Roulan at this time, she hurriedly said goodbye: "Don't talk, take this opportunity to eat something." I don't think that person will be considerate of you for not eating, and give you time to go to the kitchen to fill your stomach, and you remember to rearrange the plate after eating. There's a spare one in the cupboard over there.
I'm going to talk back to my master, so I'm not here with you.
Hibiscus and Yao Hua are both talkative, and I'll leave them for you to help. If you can't figure it out, send them to me, and we'll talk about it together." After speaking, she didn't need Roulan to send her, she just took her short legs and ran away as if she were flying.
Roulan looked at Liuli's back and put down the snack that had come to her mouth. Looking in the direction of the clean room, he muttered, "What kind of person is Liuli?"
After all, in her eyes, Liuli is a villain who doesn't miss the old master.
But after so long of contact. Liuli helped her opponent several times, could it be that such a person would really forget the old master's kindness to her so easily and choose to be loyal to Xiao Li.
That's right, don't look at Roulan, she is not the son of the house and the palace maid from the Internal Affairs Office. The way to get all kinds of counseling is not as good as that of the palace maid and the child. But she is exquisite, and she has already heard all the secrets in the house that are not secrets, not only knows Xiao Li's path to the top very well, but also faintly analyzes that Xiao Li's original approach is inseparable from the word frame, so she can't help but doubt Liuli's original intention.
Roulan fell into a stupor when she thought about it, and she was stunned for a long time before she was awakened by the sound of broken water in the clean room, and she hurriedly ate the few pieces of dim sum left on the plate. He took out a new one from the cabinet and put it on the table, and then he held a soft satin tunic and a silk coat prepared by Liuli. I walked lightly into the clean room.
While arranging the clothes to be changed on the rattan trellis, Roulan smiled and curtled her knees to Qu Yao, and said softly: "Girl, is the water temperature still appropriate, do you want the slave maid to ask someone to add some hot water and petals so that you can soak for a while?"
After speaking, he also added a small spoonful of jasmine powder to the incense burner that was gradually extinguishing on the side, so that the almost aromatic smell that had drifted in the clean room was stronger again.
Qu Yao heard Roulan's voice, lifted the veil covering his face, pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a light smile, and said softly: "No need, it's been soaked for a long time."
If my sister doesn't dislike it, why don't you help me wipe my back, I can't reach it myself!"
Roulan, who was awakened by Liuli, also knew how to deal with Qu Yao, and was not confused by Qu Yao's sugar-coated cannonball at all, but instead curtched her knees and bowed, and said very respectfully: "What did the girl say about this, you are a guest of our East Courtyard!"
"Sister, you're so out-of-sight. Seeing this, Qu Yao was almost crazy with joy in his heart, but he still maintained a faint smile on his face, and said very affectionately, but he did not let Roulan avoid these unnecessary etiquette.
Roulan is even more sure that Qu Yao is a shameless villain who is vain to the extreme.
The original guilt in her heart of sacrificing Qu Yao to protect herself completely dissipated, and she firmly believed in her plan even more, and she was no longer entangled.
Roulan, who had made up her mind, smiled, bowed down and made a blessing ceremony, and then used the hot water in the wooden barrel on the side to wet the handkerchief, and carefully wiped Qu Yao's back, just like serving those rich people who sweated on her, respectful, obedient, and thoughtful, but there was no sincerity at all, and her attitude towards Qu Yao before was fundamentally different.
"My sister's craftsmanship is really good!"
Qu Yao, who didn't know the change in Roulan's heart at all, secretly rejoiced that she could get the humble attitude of Liuli and Roulan, thinking about how to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of her and successfully become the most favored woman by the fourth master's side.
Roulan slowly stopped what she was doing, half-squatted by the wooden barrel and washed the handkerchief, and whispered back, "The girl is too polite."
Slave and maidservant, where can the girl call her sister, the girl must not raise the slave and maid like this. ”
After speaking, he got up and continued to stand behind Qu Yao, and continued to wipe his back silently.
Roulan's humility and deference greatly satisfied Qu Yao's vanity.
Qu Yao, who was too happy, couldn't control the growing smile on his face, hurriedly buried his face in his arm, laughed silently, and soaked like this for about a quarter of an hour, then he barely stopped laughing and sat up straight, "It's not too early, if I soak it again, I'm going to turn into a snake and molt." After speaking, he unceremoniously put his hand on Roulan's wrist and motioned for Roulan to help her up.
Roulan didn't bother much, since she was already disappointed in Qu Yao, she also put herself in the right position.
Back then, in the building, she wanted to live well. She hadn't done anything to do anything, but she was just serving this dying person a little, and she wouldn't feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, it seems to be a prank, and he is more and more thoughtful in his service, as if this is the only way to make Qu Yao feel the world's greatest malice.
"Girl, this is a special Zhenjiang soft satin, a serious tribute, and it is only a dozen horses a year when it is distributed to our house. Roulan hunched her waist and arranged the thin belt around her waist for Qu Yao. He whispered.
It's just that the content of the introduction, that's called a full of water.
What kind of tribute, what is distributed to the house a year, more than a dozen horses. This plain white soft satin middle coat, although it looks extraordinary and has a full sense of falling, is just a middle coat that can be worn in the house. As for the soft satin produced by Zhenjiang. That's just her casual nonsense.
It's just that Qu Yao didn't understand the moisture in it, but took it seriously.
Qu Yao took advantage of Roulan's command of Hibiscus and Yao Hua to tidy up the clean room, and touched this middle coat again and again, feeling the soft satin that is as soft as juan yarn, smooth as Hangzhou silk, and the palms of his hands are a little sweaty all the time, so that the corners of his mouth are raised, and he deliberately stretches a smiling face. Sitting on the Luohan bed, he ate a snack.
"Girl, the side room is ready. Let's go over sooner. Roulan commanded Hibiscus and Yao Hua to wipe the water stains in the clean room, returned to Qu Yao's side, looked at the four-corner glazed palace lamp that had been lit under the corridor, and reminded softly.
"It's a nuisance.
Isn't this upper room also empty, so why bother tossing back and forth!
I don't dislike that people have lived here. Qu Yao pointed to the rosewood shelf bed on the wall without self-awareness, and looked at the inky black and purple clouds that the rosewood itself fused with with a glow, and said in a coquettish voice.
"The girl is right, but the rules in this house are like this.
This is the boudoir of Ergege in the house, even if Ergege gets married in the future, this boudoir will be empty. Roulan endured the nausea in her heart, squeezed out a smiling face, and said shortly.
Qu Yao also knew that she could wash in the clean room of the upper room, which was already something that Roulan begged the old pious woman to do, and at this time she was just whining, but she didn't have to live here, but she still muttered so unforgivingly, "Cut, it's just a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she still puts such a score!", then she shook her sleeves, pulled the embroidered shoes that were not very easy to follow, and walked to the wing room angrily.
In the east wing, the original precious white jade mountain ornaments, the Boshan furnace handed down from previous generations, has already been locked in the warehouse, the vacant space on the Bogu shelf, but also made up for the official kiln vase of the big road goods, although the shape is exquisite, the pattern is novel, but the new energy, but the house looks like those scenic spots arranged in the antique guest room in general nondescript.
However, Qu Yao didn't have that kind of appreciation, but felt very good, looked at the small mahogany lacquered bed, touched the yellow and clear floor-to-ceiling candlesticks standing on both sides of the bed, and smacked his lips, "It looks much brighter." ”
As she spoke, she sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pressed the mattress under her, moved the position of the pillow at the head of the bed, and nodded with satisfaction, "Put that corner table here in a while, I may be thirsty at night, so I don't have to toss you." ”
"The girl is really considerate of the slave, but it is the rule for the palace maid to go to night at night, how can you drink cold tea. Roulan sneered twice in her heart disapprovingly, but her face was full of emotion, and even her voice was a little choked.
"That's hard work for you. Qu Yao just said it casually, seeing that Roulan said so, he didn't continue to insist, smiled and nodded to Roulan, Hibiscus, and Yao Hua, and whispered with a little uneasiness in his eyes, "By the way, Roulan, you haven't eaten yet, I don't know if you're going to eat at this time, if there is anything to eat in the kitchen, why don't you eat some dim sum pads to make up for it!"
Roulan had actually eaten a plate of dim sum a long time ago, she was not hungry at all, and she was even a little panicked, for fear that in front of Qu Yao, she would reveal something, so she hurriedly said: "Girl, this is the example given to you by the kitchen, how delicious are the slaves and maids!" After speaking, he also glanced at the hibiscus.
Although Mu Hibiscus is a second-class palace maid in the east courtyard, she is a clever one, and she said with a smile: "Sister Roulan is reasonable, it is better for the slave maid to go to the kitchen to take a look, there is always some leftover." ”
Being an errand boy in the house, how to fill your stomach is definitely a big deal.
Although it is said that according to the grade, the first-class palace maid is a meat and a vegetarian two dishes, the second-class palace maid is a meat dish, and the third-class palace maid and the rough envoy palace maid only have one vegetarian dish, but the meals prepared by the large kitchen for these palace maids, maids, eunuchs and other servants are definitely only a little, that is, if you go to the kitchen to get the meal late, that is, there is no food left, so the first skill that every palace maid learns is how to fill her stomach.
In other words, the three palace maids in front of Qu Yao at this time had already eaten secretly when Qu Yao was washing, that is to say, even if Roulan was silent just now, Mu Hibiscus and Yao Hua would not stupidly step forward to eat the snacks sent by Qu Yao, but would find all kinds of excuses to shirk.
"Then go quickly, and come back if it doesn't work. Qu Yao didn't know that after listening to Mu Hibiscus's words, she nodded with a smile and said softly.
When Mu Hibiscus heard this, he let out a small breath, and bent his knees again, and then he turned his back, withdrew from the wing, and ran to the small kitchen in the east courtyard.
In the small kitchen, there was nothing on the stove except for the tonic stewed for Li Fangfujin, but in order to make a show, the hibiscus still took out a few cold buns and cold steamed buns from a cage drawer stacked in the corner, and took out some small pickles from the jar of pickles stored in the kitchen, simply packed them in a food box, and finally carried a copper kettle filled with boiling hot water on the stove, smiled and laughed with the grandmother in charge of the kitchen, and strode back to the courtyard.
"Girl, the slave is back. Mu Hibiscus put the food box at the door, carried the copper kettle to the piano room, smiled and said to Qu Yao, and said respectfully, "The luck of the slaves and maids is good, although the fire on the stove has been extinguished, but there are still some leftover cold steamed buns, and the slaves and maids can eat it by touching a tea stove for a while."
By the way, the slave maid also brought a pot of hot water back along the way, which is the spring water transported back from Yuquan Mountain, which is the best for making tea. After speaking, Mu Hibiscus also carried the copper kettle in his hand as if offering a treasure, and pulled out a smirk.
When Qu Yao heard this, he pursed his lips disapprovingly in his heart, and muttered to himself: "Aunt/Milk/Milk drinks a lot of mineral water in modern times, but it is just a mountain spring water that has not even been sterilized, what is so rare." ’
But on her face, she said with a satisfied smile: "Don't be busy with these things, you can eat first." ”
The slave went to Mama and asked for a teahouse. When Mu Hibiscus heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, bent his knees with a smile, and walked out of the door with the food box.
