Chapter 540

Qu Yao looked at the small room in front of him in disbelief, turned his head to Xiaocao, the little palace maid who had come to serve her from the Li family, and lowered his voice to vent his dissatisfaction: "This is my residence?"

Xiaocao is one of the third-class palace maids in the East Courtyard, because she is well-behaved and obedient, and has a close relationship with the big palace maid Roulan next to the Li family, she was assigned to serve the new concubine Qu Yao, and even raised the example by one level, and she is full of gratitude for Li Fangfujin's promotion, so naturally she will not have a good face for Qu Yao, but she also knows that Qu Yao is a chess piece specially raised by the Li family to compete for favor, but she did not let her do too powerful things, but there is not much respect, just a shallow blessing of the body, so she replied with a smile: "Yes, Butterfly girl."

According to the rules of the house, all women with lower status can only live in the back room, unless there is a special arrangement from the master, so that they can live alone in a courtyard, or after having a child, they can live in the upper room and side room. ”

Speaking of this rule, the Geges up and down the mansion only enjoyed the Song family, who held the thighs of the Ulanala clan and gave birth to Da Gege, and the Geges of the other concubines (except for the two side Fujin), because there are few female dependents in the house, even the Niu Hulu clan, who is the most unpopular with the master, lives alone in a courtyard.

"Then I have lived in a wing room across the courtyard before!" Compared with the crampedness of the back cover room, the three wings that Qu Yao had disliked before were simply like heaven, so it was no wonder that she would mention it later.

Xiaocao smiled and carried the blue and white pot on the round table, filled Qu Yao with a cup of hot tea, and said softly: "Before, you were able to live in the wing room, which was the master's grace to you.

But now that you are the master's woman, everything must be in accordance with the rules of the house, even if the master has the heart to protect you, he can't stand the rules of the ancestors. ”

Qu Yao had the heart to drop the little girl in front of her who was completely disrespectful to her, but she could only think about it in her heart, who made her powerless and powerless now, but she was a woman with the lowest status of the fourth master, and even those big palace maids who had a face in front of the serious female women could not compare, and finally could only sigh helplessly in her heart, put down the hot tea in her hand, waved her hand, and whispered to Xiaocao: "You ...... Forget it, I'm tired, I'm going to rest, you go down!"

After sending the little maid, Qu Yao quietly looked at the room in front of him, with indescribable joy and sadness and helplessness in his heart.

I saw a small room in front of me, only with a floor cover according to the north-south direction, separated the inside and outside of the room, not even a curtain of coarse cloth was hung, and the black primer was also a little mottled, which looked particularly shabby.

In the inner room against the north wall, except for a small lacquered bed placed against the root of the wall, all the furniture is a human-high wardrobe and two locked camphor wood chests on it, as well as a dressing table that is not exquisite.

The outside room is even more simple, with only a round table and two embroidered piers.

In the whole room, inside and out, the only furnishings are the two blue and white twined vases on the long table by the window.

However, what was in the vase was not a brightly colored and fragrant delicate flower, but a feather duster used to dust off the dust and a small broom used to sweep the bed.

Qu Yao lay quietly on the mattress covered with coarse cloth, looking at the cyan dust with the pattern on the top of his head, thinking of the huge room with bright windows and the priceless furnishings in the room, he couldn't help but laugh a little self-deprecatingly: "Huh...... This difference between the rich and the poor is really exaggerated!

I still thought that even if I was a concubine, it would be nothing, but it was just a concubine.

But I don't want to, the difference between this concubine and the concubine is still so big, but you deliberately forced me to compete for favor, don't blame me for being ruthless with Qu Yao's subordinates in the future!

Li, I have written down all the humiliations you have given me today!"

Silently venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, Qu Yao could no longer withstand the exhaustion on his body, and fell asleep wrapped in the quilt as soon as he turned over.

In the dream, she is the only woman of the fourth master, she wears silk and satin, eats bird's nest shark fin, and all the good things in the world are placed in front of her......

"Tsk...... What a beautiful dream, this is really a dream to marry a daughter-in-law, and I just want to do beautiful things. Qu Yao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the sound of frolicking outside the window, looked at the simple layout in front of him, shook his head, whispered softly, lifted the quilt and came to the dressing table, tidied up the clothes on his body slightly, and walked to the door.

The small sound of the door opening did not attract the attention of outsiders.

Qu Yao stood quietly in front of the door like this, and after seeing the noisy people outside the door clearly, he came to the person with a smile, leaned over shallowly, and said softly: "Miss Liuli, what's wrong with you?

"Butterfly girl, it's time for you to rest. Hearing this, Liuli smiled and blessed Qu Yao, and said softly, but he didn't mention why he was arguing with the two grandmothers, but beckoned Xiaocao who was watching the excitement next to him, and told Xiaocao to help Qu Yao back to the room.

Xiaocao naturally didn't dare to slack off, and she didn't care about greeting Qu Yao, so she was busy helping Qu Yao and was about to go to the room, but the opportunity to get in touch with Liuli, the former palace maid of the Li family, was so in front of her, how could Qu Yao give up, so she smiled, but she firmly rejected Xiaocao, and said lightly: "The tea in the room is cold, you go to the small kitchen to change a pot for me." After saying that, he shook off Xiaocao's arm and returned to Liuli's side.

Liuli, this is a nail left in the mansion by the Da Li family, her eyesight is not bad, where can she not see Qu Yao's plan, but now is the most critical step for her to help the Da Li family implement the plan, and she can't tolerate the slightest destruction, if it is because of her closeness to Qu Yao, the Li family has scruples about her, then she will be unable to forgive her sin even if she dies.

However, if it is a purposeful friendship with her, she can ask for a 'Shang Fang Sword' from the Li family, so this time she did not refuse Qu Yao's closeness and flattery, as if she was angry, she pointed to the two old women who were also staring at her and crossed their waists, and sighed: "These two were left by the original female master in the house, and they always rely on their old age to do anything in this courtyard on weekdays, and this time it was even more excessive, and they actually ate all the deer placenta cream that the master used to supplement his body." ”

Although Qu Yao has never taken deer placenta cream, which conditions her body, she can guess from Liuli's pity that this thing is worth a lot of money, and she has the heart to make friends with Liuli, so she naturally wants to stand on Liuli's side, and she also glared angrily and said: "Deer placenta cream, that thing is not easy to touch, no wonder it makes my sister angry like this." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!

That is our master's brother-in-law in order to condition the master's body, specially found from the mountains of the high-quality treasure wild sika deer deer fetus, and by the hospital judge personally made deer placenta paste, although the price is not more than a thousand gold, but it is also very rare.

But forget it, with the silver, and the master's younger brother is worried about the master, there will always be a good deer fetus, which is not a rare thing, but the decoction that the master is taking must be combined with the deer placenta ointment, if this is broken, I am afraid that the effect will not be good, so I will argue with them about this.

These two old grandmothers are good, not only do they not admit that they stole the food, but also say that the master is narrow-minded and can't tolerate the old man left by the original master, so they want to quarrel to find the master Fujin to reason, if they quarrel with the master Fujin for this little thing, then don't say that I am going to be unlucky, and even our master will be embarrassed!" As she spoke, Liuli seemed to be angry, and rushed towards the two old grandmothers who were snorting melon seeds, but she didn't want the two old grandmothers to be used to doing rough work, so she pulled her aside with one hand and fell to the ground into a rolling earth.

"Miss Liuli, don't worry about these clumsy old women for this little thing, if you want me to say, you might as well tell the master about this, maybe the master has a replacement for the deer placenta paste, even if the master doesn't have it, so that the master can find other masters in the house to ask earlier, it is the master who regulates his body is important!" Seeing this opportunity, Qu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help Liuli up, and said softly while beating the dust on Liuli's body.

"There is some truth in what you said, but I am really unwilling to let these two old grandmothers steal food, and I have this righteous appearance, I have really wronged our master!"

Qu Yao smiled and let Xiaocao help Liuli into his own room, and poured a cup of hot tea that Xiaocao had just sent, poured a cup for Liuli with his own hands, and persuaded softly: "Liuli girl, you are dizzy for a while, if the master wants to deal with these two old grandmothers, it is not easy, it is a big deal to go back to the master Fujin, and directly send people out of the house, if it is really uproaring, no matter whether the two old grandmothers will be punished or not, your face of the big palace maid will be thrown home." ”

"Hey, I'm really confused this time, thanks to Butterfly Girl. Speaking of which, the reason why Liuli took advantage of the deer placenta paste to make trouble with the two old grandmothers was to clear the nails arranged by other people in the yard before Da Li came back, but for a while, she was red-eyed, which made it a little unbearable, and it was also a shame that Qu Yao woke up at this time and helped her hand over the ladder down the steps, so her words of gratitude were naturally much more real.

"Then I'll let Xiaocao send you back, I see that your clothes should also be changed!" persuaded Liuli, Qu Yao handed the handkerchief to Liuli with a smile and wiped his face, and said softly.

"Trouble little grass. Liuli also smiled and nodded, leaving a sentence of "If the butterfly girl has something, let people come to me", and then she was supported by Xiaocao and went to her own room on the side to change her clothes.

Qu Yao just wanted to have someone to take care of in the house, otherwise she wouldn't have come out, and she offended the two old women who were helping on the stove!

Here, Qu Yao sent Liuli back to his own room, and the two old women over there didn't have good eyes to look at her, which made her a little uncomfortable, so she stepped forward with a smile and said in a low voice: "Two grandmothers, why are you two so confused, and you have a conflict with the big palace maid in front of the master, no matter whose fault it is, if this is to the master, what can you two leave behind!"

Even if the master doesn't punish you two for the sake of fame, he just puts small shoes on the two of you behind your back, what can you two do!"

"......Shh We don't need you to pretend to come here, let's pretend to be a good person.

It's just a lowly embryo who recommends a pillow mat, and when our master comes back from Zhuangzi, just something like you, I'm afraid that you will be swept out of the house immediately, and sent directly to a place where the master can't see. Tian Pozi relied on her mother's sister to be a housekeeper with a face in the house, so she didn't take Qu Yao to heart at all, and she intended to make enemies for the Da Li family, so she spoke very politely, and she rolled her eyes and shouted at the top of her throat.

The back cover room was originally the residence of the servants in the east courtyard.

At this time, except for a few people who were on errands in front of the master, everyone else was hiding in the room doing needlework, and when they heard the movement in the courtyard, they all leaned on the window, and secretly watched Tian Pozi grinding Qu Yao.

It's also thanks to Qu Yao's upbringing that he was invited by the Li family for a few days before, and this cheeky person is a lot thicker, otherwise it is really easy to suppress the fire, and he will directly turn his face with this Tian Pozi.

Qu Yao's expression was indifferent, and he said lightly with an undiminished smile: "Mama's words are ugly......

Although I have a lower rank, I can't compare to the serious master in the house, but in the end, I am the woman of the master, even if you have been in the house for many years, you should not talk like this, you have offended people in vain.

Don't you know that there is such a sentence 'I would rather bully the white bearded man than the poor young man', although I don't have the master's mind now, but feng shui takes turns, who can guarantee that I will be like this in my life!" After speaking, he threw off his handkerchief and walked straight to his room.

Tian Pozi is already a quick temper, where would she tolerate Qu Yao's preaching, and seeing Qu Yao's smug look, she smiled coldly and muttered softly, "It's just a concubine who climbed the bed, if she wants to turn over, I'm afraid it's more difficult than climbing to the sky, I really think she can give birth to a golden bump!"

Phew!" pulled Mrs. Kong, who was still talking, and went back to the small kitchen.

Returning to the room, Qu Yao savored Mrs. Tian's words, looked at the teapot in his hand, a fine light flashed in his mind, and he threw the teapot on the ground, looking at the tea splashing everywhere on the ground, and didn't care about the water marks on the ground, he just half-lay on the ground, carefully pulling the tea leaves.

Qu Yao sat at the round table, looking at the three or five slender red petals picked out of the tea leaves, only to feel as if he was in an ice cellar, and scolded in a low voice: "Li, you are so vicious!"

Actually, this time she really misunderstood the Li family.

She climbed into bed and became the fourth master's woman, the fourth master had already given the child avoidance soup, where did the Li family need to do it, and even if the Li family did it, she would not do such a rough job, and actually mixed the petals of the safflower in the tea so confusedly, not to mention whether it could be useful for such a little measurement, that is, the antidote to the tea was enough to make the Li family abandon this plan.

Who is this calculation, it is naturally Xiaocao and Liuli.

What Li didn't expect was that this little grass, which had always been inconspicuous in the yard, was the same as Liuli, and it was the nail left by the big Li in the east courtyard, and what Xiaocao showed before was full of deference and gratitude, it was even more thorough.
