Good News came in, the Marquis stared at a jade ornament on Bogu's shelf, so he hugged her and took it down. Finally, he casually waved his hand to the butler, "Tell Zao Jian to come and have a good meal on the table." , add more minced meat custard and less salt."
The housekeeper hurried down. When he went out, he saw the maid in pink still standing outside the door. He couldn't help but pulled her aside and scolded: "Miss Yuxue, you usually You are smart. What happened today? The old lady and the young lady of the Li family are the saviors of the Marquis. They are still taking care of the Marquis and recuperate from his injuries. No matter how unhappy you are, you should endure it. It was so rude just now. ."
Yuxue seemed to be aggrieved and said with tears: "Butler, I didn't mean it. It was so smelly that I couldn't hold it back for a while. And I am the waiter in the Marquis' room. Now let me Waiting for outsiders to bathe, I..."
The butler's face darkened, and his tone became colder, "It doesn't matter where you are from, you are all the slaves of the Marquis, and you will do whatever the Marquis orders!"
Yuxue bit her. Biting my lip, I finally went down.
In the wing room of the main courtyard, there is a jade pool for the master to bathe on weekdays.
At this moment, the servant girls were busy boiling water, filling the jade pool half full, and preparing toiletries, without even touching the ground.
Yu Xue stood aside, her expression extremely ugly, and even the maids did not dare to say anything.
Soon, everything was ready. Yuxue straightened her face and entered the main room with a smile. "Master Marquis, the bath is ready. Please invite the old lady and the young lady to take a bath."
The Marquis nodded and patted the back of the good news . He turned his back and said to the old lady: "Auntie, I have been bathing in the hot springs in the village on weekdays. Today I have to force you to use the bathtub."
"As a family, what are you talking about heretics and what kind of water is not suitable for bathing. Besides, I smell so bad. , washing it quickly is better than anything else... If I had known it would harm me, I would have replaced the rotten eggs with dirt!"
As she spoke, she took the good news and followed Yu Xue out.
The Marquis turned and entered the study room and began to deal with some small things that had been backlogged for a long time.
The old lady and Jiayin walked into the bathroom together. Before taking off her clothes, Yuxue asked casually as if gossiping: "The old lady has never seen such a big jade pool, has it? This is for the exclusive use of our Lord Marquis and has never been given to outsiders." I've used it."
The old lady didn't say anything, but Jiayin opened her eyes wide and asked, "Sister, what is an outsider?"
Yuxue didn't think a child had any bad intentions, and at the same time, she really didn't think of Old Mrs. Li. Looking at Li Jiayin, he replied with a smile but not a smile, "What? For example, you are outsiders."
"What about you, are you a wife, the Marquis's wife?" Jiayin asked innocently.
Yuxue blushed at Jiayin's question, but she still raised her head and answered: "Yes, I am the Marquis's wife, and I serve in the Marquis's bedroom."
The old lady frowned, not happy that Yuxue mentioned it. When it came to the bedroom matter, she turned away with a cold face, "This girl, you are an insider and an outsider. It is not good to talk to children about things like waiting in the bedroom. You can go out, we can wash it ourselves."
Yuxue did not expect Mr. Li. He was too angry and unhappy, so he turned around and left.
Two maids were guarding outside the door. Seeing her angrily coming out, they looked at each other and pulled her under the window. One of them couldn't hold back and asked: "Sister Yuxue, what's wrong with you? Why don't you serve the distinguished guests inside? Will you offend others if you come out like this?"
Yuxue was holding her breath, so she forgot about her scruples and said angrily: "When I usually serve the Marquis, the Marquis doesn't After trying to make things difficult for me, these two country bumpkins actually put it on the shelf and said that what I said was wrong and scared her child!"
Another maid smiled and persuaded: "Sister Yuxue, don't be angry, Lord Marquis ordered us to do so. Please take good care of them. I heard that the Marquis values this family very much. They came here last time, but you were sick and recuperating and didn't see them. You don't know that the housekeeper is very respectful to Mrs. Li and Miss Li."
Yuxue gritted her teeth, "What nonsense, Madam, don't think I don't know, but he is just a country bumpkin who guards the village for the Marquis. The Marquis is kind-hearted and respects them, but they really treat themselves as masters? Last time It's me who's sick, otherwise I'll be the first to kick them out, shameless!"
"That's right," the two maids quickly boasted, "we are just slaves, we can't say anything even if we don't like them, but Sister Yuxue is different. Sister Yuxue is serving the Marquis, and she will definitely have to support her in the future. The Hou family wants Sister Yuxue to take over half of the family, and we all count on her to take care of her." Yuxue felt
comfortable being praised, and became even happier, and thought about it I thought, after all, I was not willing to waste the opportunity, so I had to take advantage of the opportunity when the Marquis finally came back to get close to him.
If the Marquis can be coaxed into relenting and take her to the village to serve her, the one who is near the water and the terrace will get the moon first.
If she can become pregnant with Lord Hou's blood, she won't be afraid even if a wife comes into the house in the future. There will definitely be a place for her in the Hou's Mansion at that time!
"You guys stay here while I serve tea to the Marquis."
"Hey, sister Yuxue, the noble lady inside hasn't cleaned her clothes yet?" A maid stopped Yuxue and asked, "Do you want to go outside the house? Buy two new sets?"
Sure enough, Yuxue couldn't hear the word "noble" and replied directly: "It's so troublesome, just find two sets of clothes for the mother-in-law and the little maid, and change them for them."
After that, she He left, leaving the two maids winking at each other and smiling maliciously.
This Yuxue usually waits in the Marquis's bedroom, and her father is a veteran who died in the war. When she thought that she would become the master of the Marquis Mansion, she would give them orders at will, and they had long been dissatisfied.
Today is such a good opportunity. If the Marquis gets angry and gets rid of Yuxue, wouldn't they also have a chance to rise to power? !
The Marquis had been busy for a long time and was feeling thirsty. Suddenly there was a cup of tea in his hand. He picked it up and took a sip.
When he looked up again and saw Yuxue, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here? Who is waiting on you in the bathroom?"
"Back to the Marquis, it's Yuxia and Yumei who are waiting on you. I'm worried that the little maids don't know about the Marquis." According to my preference, I quickly made a pot of tea and brought it over." Yuxue responded gently.
She rolled up her sleeves, exposing her snow-white wrists, and wanted to refill her tea, when the butler announced outside the door, "Master Marquis, the food is ready."
Master Hou put down his pen and paper, got up and walked out, Yu Xue was angry. He was shocked, but he still followed behind with his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered.
The butler pointed to the custard on the table with a smile, and said to the Marquis: "Master Marquis, there are new river shrimps in the kitchen today, they are very fresh. My servant peeled half the bowl and steamed another shrimp custard. Let's take a look. Miss, do you like it?"
Mr. Hou nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the old lady came in from the outside with Jiayin in hand, and his face turned cold at that moment.
The butler was surprised. When he looked back, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand.
The old lady was dressed in dark gray, and Jiayin was dressed in khaki. Although the two sets of clothes were suitable in size and considered clean, they were clothes worn by the lowest servants in the palace.
The Marquis had clearly ordered me to get clean new clothes just now!
After the Li family came last time, he specially ordered the sewing room to prepare a few extra sets of clothes for men, women, old and young, just in case the Li family came over and needed to change.
But why did the old lady and the young lady dress like this? What went wrong, or was it someone who deliberately embarrassed the Li family? !
