Chapter 692: Wisdom
Xia Siling has been on a hunger strike since yesterday, and has not eaten a drop of rice for three consecutive meals, which makes the servants who are waiting around him extremely panicked; These people were all assigned by Xia Zhu to serve by Xia Siling's side, of course, in order to monitor Xia Siling inseparably and prevent her from making any more moves.
Now that Miss has not eaten three grains of rice, the servants are in a hurry, if Miss has three long and two short, these people will really be skinned alive by Master Xia, so they cautiously stepped forward to ask one by one, Xia Siling naturally ignored it.
In the morning and at noon, Xia Siling didn't eat, only drank some tea, and his already weak body was also crumbling, and when the servants were discussing whether to force Xia Siling to eat, Xia Siling took the initiative to speak.
"It's not that the slave family doesn't want to eat it, it's just that these meals are really not appetizing, and the slave family is really hard to swallow."
"What does Miss want to eat? The slaves and maids will do it for you right away. The servants were pleasantly surprised, it turned out that this was the reason why Miss Jiao was different, she would rather be hungry for two days than eat unsuitable meals, although these meals were simply delicious in the eyes of everyone, but they were also not to Miss Jiao's appetite.
"The slave family suddenly wanted to eat the hand-rolled noodle soup made by Mrs. Chen, in the past, Mrs. Chen served by the slave family, and the hand-rolled noodle soup she made was the most delicious and delicious, except for that, I didn't want to eat anything."
Aunt Chen is a servant woman who served by Xia Siling's side not long ago, since Xia Siling lost her freedom, Xia Zhu has replaced all the maid maids around her, Xia Zhu knew that these people were by Xia Siling's side, so she gave Xia Siling a lot of convenience, maybe she used these people, Xia Siling would have a relationship with Su Jin again.
"This ...... Aunt Chen was transferred to the outer house to serve, Miss wants to eat hand-rolled noodle soup, the old slave can also make it, and the taste is no worse than Aunt Chen, how about the old slave help Miss cook a bowl? A mother-in-law said with a smile.
Xia Siling said: "If the slave family you make doesn't eat it, the slave family wants to eat Aunt Chen's noodle soup, since you can't eat it, it's just that, you wait to retreat, the slave family wants to stay alone." ”
After saying that, Xia Siling turned her hungry pale little face and looked out the window blankly.
The mother-in-law scolded angrily in her heart, but she was helpless, and she couldn't use it until she had to do it as a last resort, otherwise Xia Siling would not starve to death, and when Xia Zhu came back, she would definitely sue herself and others for committing the crime, but they were father and daughter, even if they were awkward, they would never come to protect themselves and others, and he would not care about saving his daughter's life at that time.
After the woman went out, she summoned all the servants and wives to discuss together, and someone said: "Just make a bowl of noodle soup and serve it, and say that it is made by Aunt Chen." ”
So everyone hurriedly cooked, and after a while, a bowl of hot noodle soup came up, put it on the table and said, "Miss, this is the noodle soup made by Aunt Chen herself." ”
Xia Siling scooped a small spoonful with a spoon and brought it to his mouth just lightly licked it, and suddenly swept a large bowl of noodle soup to the ground with a wave of his hand, and the hot soup splashed on the faces of several servants, and they quickly reached out to cover their faces and screamed continuously.
Xia Siling gasped and pointed at the servants and scolded: "You slaves, take advantage of my father's absence and don't take the master's family seriously, it's just lazy to do it on weekdays, the slave family has no appetite and wants to eat a bowl of Aunt Chen's noodle soup, you dare to fool you, okay, the slave family will remember this account for you, after my father comes back, the slave family will ask him to give me this breath, and concoct you one by one, see if you dare to bully the master?" ”
The servants turned pale with fright, and they didn't care about the fire on their faces, so they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, and someone hurriedly shouted: "Miss, don't be angry, I'll wait here and ask Aunt Chen to make a bowl for you to taste." ”
Xia Siling reprimanded: "Do you want to deceive the master again?" Go and call Aunt Chen from the outer house, and the slave family will see her make noodle soup with your own hands, so as not to fool the slave family again. ”
The servants hurriedly agreed, and came downstairs in a gray manner, looking at each other in amazement, and the red marks on their faces were hot blisters in hot noodle soup.
"What to do? Master Xia explained before leaving, and he must not let people from the outer house come in to see Miss. ”
"What's the matter? Miss doesn't eat anymore, I'm afraid she won't survive for a few days, have you seen it? She was out of breath just by waving her hand, this is a sign of weakness, if Miss starves to death, we will all be finished. ”
"That's it, call the lady of the Chen family to come in and make a bowl of noodle soup and leave, we will follow and star, what big deal can it be? As long as we don't say it, how can Master Xia know? ”
"Well, that's all."
The plan has been decided, a mother-in-law went out of the inner house to the outer house to find Aunt Chen and told her, Aunt Chen has been serving Xia Siling in the Xia Mansion since she was a child, and although Xia Siling is a master and servant, she has a mother-daughter general licking calf, I heard that the young lady did not eat four or five meals, and suddenly she was in a hurry, so she put down the work in her hand and followed into the inner house.
At the entrance of the second house, a group of people from the Xia family's nursing home naturally interrogated, the people in the inner house can come out, but the people in the outer house can't go in, and Zhang Heizi, the foreman of the nursing home, is also an old man of the Xia family.
Aunt Chen went upstairs, and when she saw Xia Siling's appearance, tears were about to flow down, and Xia Siling only shouted when she saw Aunt Chen: "Auntie." And he wept silently.
Aunt Chen wiped her tears for Xia Siling, she naturally knew everything that happened in Xia Mansion, and she also knew a little about why Xia Siling was treated like this by Master Xia, although she slandered Master Xia in her heart that she was inhumane, even if it was tiger poison and did not eat children, but after all, it was the master's business, and she couldn't do anything about it.
The servant woman was staring at the side, and the two couldn't talk much, Aunt Chen quickly made a bowl of noodle soup in the kitchen downstairs and served it, waiting for Xia Siling to drink it slowly.
Xia Siling pulled Aunt Chen to sit in front of her, blocked the eyes of the mother-in-law standing at the door and watched, quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words with an eyebrow pencil and put it into Aunt Chen's arms; Aunt Chen was startled, and when she was about to ask, she was stopped by Xia Siling with her eyes.
Xia Siling raised her head and said to the mother-in-law at the door: "Go to the kitchen and help me get a plate of pickles, the slave family wants to eat this pickle." ”
The mother-in-law hesitated slightly, Xia Siling was suddenly furious, and said to Aunt Chen: "Auntie, look, these are the slaves and maids around me, they can't be called, Auntie, you have seen it with your own eyes, and when Daddy comes back to give me a testimony, if the slave family doesn't give these slaves a good lesson, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”
The woman hurriedly confessed, and said repeatedly: "Miss is angry, let's go and get it." He turned around and hurried downstairs.
The two got a moment to talk, and Xia Siling said quickly: "Auntie, don't ask why, listen to the slave family tell you, the slave family is in a very dangerous situation now, and my father wants to send me to the palace as a show girl, and the guards invited by my father in the outer house seem to be wrong, and they actually broke into the inner house that day, and the slave family thinks they are afraid of chaos; You take the letterhead I wrote to you, and immediately go to the Su Mansion at the South Gate to hand it over to the Su family, naturally someone will come to save me, please Auntie, whether the slave family is alive or dead, it depends on Auntie; As long as the slave family escapes, he will support the eldest mother for a lifetime in the future. ”
Aunt Chen hurriedly said: "Where did Miss say it, the slave family will definitely send it to you, it's strange that those bandits in the outer house are secretly polishing their blades today, they don't go into the kitchen on weekdays, and today they went to the kitchen to ask for food, which is very strange; Miss, the lord shouldn't hire these people, these people look like a bunch of tigers and wolves, how good is this! ”
Xia Siling said: "Don't care about these for the time being, my father went to the field, and I don't have time to tell him, you can't tell those nursing homes in Erjin, maybe they are in a gang, if the purpose is exposed, you will definitely be killed by them; The slave family doesn't know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy now, the only credible one is you, the eldest lady, and the only one who can save me is Su Jin Su Gongzi; They are secretly sharpening their knives, and they may have to do it when they speak, and you will go to the street to report the news after you leave the house, and you can't delay for a moment. ”
Aunt Chen's face turned pale, and she said softly: "The slave family can save it." ”
Xia Siling was still talking about something, when she heard the sound of the stairs, and the woman quickly brought up a plate of pickles mixed with oil.
Xia Siling hurriedly stopped, drank a bowl of noodle soup with this pickle, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he sighed with a full burp and said: "It's delicious, it's still the aunt's noodle soup is delicious, and the slave family will eat it at night." ”
Aunt Chen smiled: "This is easy to do, the slave family will come to make it for Miss again in the evening, but there is not much flour." ”
Xia Siling said: "Just go out and buy it, what's so difficult about it." ”
Aunt Chen said: "Yes, the slave family will go out to buy some flour later, and the flour in the South Gate Rice Market is good, so the slave family will go to the South Gate Rice Market to buy it." ”
The mother-in-law on the side said: "Chen family lady, you should go out, you are a person from the outer house, you can't stay for a long time, the master knows that he wants to be beaten and scolded." ”
Aunt Chen hurriedly said: "Let's go." With Xia Siling's loving glance, she turned around and went downstairs.
Xia Siling lay on the railing on the second floor, watching Aunt Chen's back out of the courtyard of the inner house, disappearing after interrogation in the second entrance, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Xia Siling retracted her gaze, and suddenly her gaze met with a gaze, and she saw it very clearly from a high position, under a locust tree on the periphery of Erjin, a person was exposed with his shirt exposed, and a dog's tail grass was in his mouth, looking at himself with a smile.
Xia Siling was startled, and quickly fled back to the house like a frightened deer, faintly hearing the sound of unbridled laughter, Xia Siling gritted her silver teeth angrily, hateful.
