Chapter 1109: Can She Still Smile?
as he finished speaking, Yuan Xiangli, who had rushed over, caught him red-handed."What did you say You said Son Pingchuan is stingy!"She glanced at Dong'er and Yuanbao, then turned her gaze back to...Chapter 1109: Let's see if she can still smile
Mùjǐn heard this and was stunned.
Xiao Yue hurriedly tugged at the silly girl's sleeve, "What are you doing, still standing there Not just anyone can come near the mistress, hurry up and nod!"
The mistress wanted to keep the hibiscus, and Xiaoyue didn't object at all, nor did she resist.
This girl looks like a good one at first glance. Anyway, her face is more upright than Qin Qianqian's, and her eyes never wander around.
Since she entered the main courtyard, her gaze has been either fixed on her shoes or on Madam. One can tell from her eyes whether she is upright and sincere or not.
Mu Jin reacted and hurriedly knelt down to Fang Jinshu, her face still somewhat unbelievable.
It was unexpected that Fang Jinshi would keep her.
"My lady, I would be delighted to do so. As long as you require me, I am willing to give my all for you, even lay down my life for you."
Fang Jinshu couldn't help but chuckle and reach out to help the person up.
"Alright, alright, what do you want with my life"
But there is one rule, one bottom line, about working by my side: loyalty.
If I find you betrayed me, your end will be worse than anyone else's.
Hibiscus smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, that day will never come."
"The hibiscus would rather die than betray Madam. If what I say is false, may heaven strike me with five bolts of lightning!"
Fang Jinxiu asked her to keep her mouth shut next month. She really dared to say anything, with oaths coming easily from her lips.
Qin Qianqian packed her things and happily came to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered, she heard laughter coming from Madam's room. Just as she was about to go in, she suddenly heard Mu Jin's voice from inside.
"This servant will go back and tidy up first, and then come find Miss Xiaoyue to report."
Fang Jinxiu nodded.
As soon as Mujin came out, she saw Qin Qianqian standing at the door. Qin Qianqian stared at her with a gloomy face.
"How did you get into the mistress's room"
Mu Jin remembered Fang Jinxiu's words, she couldn't let Qin Qianqian notice anything. She absolutely couldn't say that she was here to expose her false accusation.
"I."
She was just about to find an excuse to get out of it when Fang Jinshu also came out from inside, saving Mu Jin's face.
"It was I who called her."
"The main courtyard is too big, it's hard for Xiaoyue to manage alone, so I called Mujin over and asked her if she wanted to work here."
Qin Qianqian looked at Mù Jǐn's face, which was much prettier and more delicate than her own, and the jealousy in her eyes almost overflowed.
If Hibiscus came too, the Marquis wouldn't be safe from being seduced by her flirtatious charms!
She hurriedly said, "Madam, Qianqian can not only manage the pond, I have plenty of strength. If Xiao Yuejie is too busy, I can help her!"
"Having so many people in the main courtyard might disturb your rest."
"Doesn't your wife usually prefer quiet"
When she heard this, Mujin's face flushed red. This Qin Qianqian was too shameless.
She can just come to the main courtyard. Anyone else coming would disrupt Madam's rest, what kind of twisted logic is this.
Fan Jinshu suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth, the smile on her face faded, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
"You're saying I need your permission to hire people for my own yard"
Qin Qianqian saw that Fang Jinshi seemed to be a bit angry, and she quickly knelt down and apologized.
She had finally persuaded Fang Jinshu to come into the main courtyard, she couldn't be driven out because of this little thing, could she That would be all her efforts for naught.
"This servant dares not! I apologize, madam. It was this servant who spoke wrongly."
"Qianqian is also considering for madam, there's no other meaning, please trust Qianqian, madam."
Fang Jinxiu was too lazy to watch her performance in front of him, so he waved his hand.
"All of you, leave now. For any future issues, find Little Yue. You both listen to her arrangements."
"I have something to go out for, Mukjin, come with me."
Originally, Fang Jinxiu didn't plan to bring any maids with her when she went out. But seeing Qin Qianqian's reckless behavior, she decided to make her suffer a little.
The more she used Mugwort and kept her around, the more anxious she became. She should be taking action soon.
Finish dealing with people quickly, so that things can be clear.
Hibiscus just froze for a moment, then immediately followed Fang Jinshu around.
"It is the mistress."
You can pack your belongings whenever you have time, there's no need to rush.
Little Moon smiled at her, “You can rest assured to go out with the madam, I'll help you move your bed and luggage.”
After Fang Jinshu left with Mugwort, Qin Qianqian's jealousy made her teeth ache. She truly couldn't figure out what was so special about Mugwort.
She and Xiaoyue came to the Zong family together. Although they were separated for a few years in between, their time knowing each other and the affection they shared was undoubtedly much greater than what Mujin had.
It's not just that the mistress didn't bring her own maid when she went out, but she also didn't bring Xiaoyue. Instead, she brought Mujin, who had only recently come to the Hou Mansion.
She walked to Xiaoyue's side.
"What do you think"
Xiaoyue was stunned by her words.
"What on earth are you thinking"
Mujin's expression was a mixture of exasperation and disappointment.
"You've served by the mistress's side for so many years. Now that this hibiscus has arrived, the mistress takes her out instead of you. Don't you have any sense of crisis at all"
"This little wretch Hibiscus, she's been trying to steal your spot and you haven't noticed!"
Xiao Yue smiled nonchalantly, "I really didn't notice."
We are nothing but maidservants by the mistress's side. As long as the mistress needs us, we will obey. It is her freedom to decide who she takes out, and a maid like us should not interfere.
"Besides, Madam dislikes the petty squabbles between maidservants. I advise you to avoid such thoughts as well; if Madam finds out, she will be displeased."
When she heard this, Qin Qianqian was really angry. She glared at Xiaoyue's departing back and cursed inwardly about her hypocrisy.
What is a fake lady acting like Just now, when the mistress said she wanted to keep her by her side, wasn't she making a face of unwillingness Is she blind and can't see it
Now that Mujin is the one being left behind, she'd probably put on a good act and pretend to be magnanimous.
When hibiscus completely replaces her position by the mistress's side one day, let's see if she can still laugh.
Qin Qianqian picked up her luggage and followed him, temporarily shelving the argument with Xiaoyue.
Recently, with the approaching Four Nations Trade Conference, Kyoto City has seen an influx of unfamiliar faces. It is said that envoys from the Northern Border have arrived first.
Fang Jinxiu brought Mugwort to the restaurant. This place used to be called Yuba Food House, but after Fang Jinxiu added her dishes to the menu, they became increasingly popular. As a result, the Northern Border cuisine on the menu became less sought-after.
At first, the guests were there out of curiosity, wanting to experience the thrill of eating large chunks of meat.
The people of Beijing, their tastes are incredibly refined. After eating mutton barbecue for a while, they grew tired of it, finding the inherent gaminess of beef and lamb off-putting. Not everyone can stomach that flavor.
Wu Niang then suggested changing the name of the restaurant, making it a restaurant specializing in Central Plains cuisine. After all, they were making money regardless of what dishes they sold, so Wu Niang didn't really care.
During that time, Fang Jinshi was busy. I think Zong Bo gave the tavern a new name.
Come, let's gather here.ow the Seventh to develop any further.Yuan Buyu, on the other hand, remained calm, staring at Zong Yu's departing direction with a thoughtful expression."Your Highness, please don't be angry. They are...
