The two little maids were already pretty and cute, but after being dressed up like this, they only felt even more lovely.

A group of other girls looked at the two of them with envy in their eyes. They were all bought together, but they were chosen by the madam to go to the banquet. Doesn't this represent them? The two of them became the lady's long-term maids?

He Jiuniang quickly gave up their thoughts, looked at them and said: "I won't choose any maids for the time being. As long as each of you behaves well, you will have the opportunity to follow me out. I I will take you several times to see what your strengths and weaknesses are, and then decide who will be your long-term follower.” Healthy competition will make things better and better. He Jiuniang didn't buy them back just to make them work. She must use everyone in the right position.

After saying this, the other girls immediately smiled. If they still have a chance, they must fight for it.

But before she was happy for too long, she heard He Jiuniang say again: "But I don't want to see you scheming over this. What I said is that good performance depends on your own ability, not on framing others. Improve yourself, and once I find out about the intrigue, I will sell you out directly."

The girls responded one after another, and He Jiuniang nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go out with the two little maids.

"I just want to go to the Yamen, let me take you to the banquet."

Lu Baichuan happened to come from the study and took her hand naturally.

He Jiuniang wanted to know whether the mansion of the Fu family and the Yamen of Huoyunsi were on the way, right?

But looking at the happy look of the man beside him, he still couldn’t say the words of rejection after all.

Yueyan and Yueshu looked at each other, then followed obediently behind them.

It has been several days since they arrived at the mansion, and they know what to do and what not to do.

Although Third Master is injured, he never wants to be served by anyone, let alone maids or servants. He usually doesn't even let maids like them get close.

And it can be seen that the relationship between the third master and the third wife is very good. No matter how busy he is, the third master will take time to accompany his wife. Although the wife looks a little indifferent on the surface, in fact, she still pretends to be the third master in her heart. Damn it, otherwise I wouldn't have seen Third Master still busy in the study at night, and the person who was going to sleep would get up and personally make milk tea for Third Master.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the friendship between them is there, but they are newbies, so it is not clear why the couple sleep in separate rooms.

Sister-in-law Xu’s family should know, butIt's the master's private affairs and it's not their place to inquire about, so everyone is smart enough not to ask, as long as they serve the master well.

He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan walked in front and got on the carriage, followed by two little maids walking outside.

There were only two of them in the carriage. He Jiuniang asked: "Have you told King Chen about what happened here?"

"Well, we have sent someone to deliver the letter. The situation in the capital has been tense recently, so I don’t worry about using carrier pigeons."

He Jiuniang nodded. She originally wanted to ask King Chen if he had any plans, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had to discuss it herself. This question was a bit inappropriate, so I didn’t ask anything.

Lu Baichuan said again: "When you go to the banquet today, be careful and don't get bullied."

Hearing this, He Jiuniang just felt like laughing. Who is she? How could she be bullied so easily?

　“I know, don’t worry, you can do your thing without worrying about me.”

　“Okay, I’ll pick you up when I’m done.”

He Jiuniang nodded but did not speak. She actually wanted to say no, but she still swallowed the words.

What I have to admit is that she seems to have become accustomed to him taking her out and picking her up every day.

Habit is really a terrible thing. She knew it, but she didn’t reject it at all.

When I arrived at the gate of the prefect’s house, I found that several carriages were parked here. Each carriage was guarded by a coachman, waiting for his wife and young lady to come out.

He Jiuniang was different. After she got off, she waved her hand to Lu Baichuan and the car drove away.

Two coachmen nearby were whispering: "Whose wife is this? She is so beautiful but so shabby. She doesn't even have a separate car when she goes out to a banquet."

Another person hurriedly said: "What do you know? Which of the things she is wearing is vulgar?"

"That's right..."

Discussion The sound was very quiet, but He Jiuniang could hear it, but she didn't mind. Yueshu next to her showed the invitation letter, and Yueyan presented the gift she brought. After that, under the leadership of the maid sent by the prefect's family, they followed Went to the backyard together.

The ladies and ladies in this city like to travel together. Many of them are acquaintances. After arriving, they gather together in twos and threes to talk.

Only He Jiuniang came alone, and the maid took her to a small pavilion.

There were fruits and snacks on the table in the pavilion. The little maid said: "The banquet hasn't started yet, husband.People can walk around the garden and make friends with other ladies and ladies. When the banquet starts later, the slaves will come and take the ladies there. "

The little maid looks very happy, with a round face, and crooked eyebrows when she smiles, like a little lucky baby.

Her voice is also very sweet, He Jiuniang generally had little resistance to such sweet girls, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go around by myself, and you can go and do your work. ”

The garden of the prefect’s house is quite unique. There are many famous flowers and plants planted in it, and they are all well trimmed. It can be seen that the prefect’s wife is quite leisurely and elegant.

On this hot day, He Jiuniang really wasn’t in the mood to wander around in the sun, so she simply didn’t go anywhere and sat down directly in the pavilion.

After tasting a piece of pastry, It was sweet, greasy, and hard. Yueyan beside her hurriedly poured her a cup of tea and said, "Madam, please be careful when eating. This pastry is not as soft and soft as ours. It must be eaten with tea." . ”

Yes, this pastry is a specialty of this era. Maybe life is very hard, so the pastry is made particularly sweet and hard. These nobles hold a piece of pastry and mix it with a piece of pastry. A pot of tea can last a whole day.

But the ones at their home are different. He Jiu Niang improved the recipe. It is soft, glutinous and delicious, with moderate sweetness, plus a few sister-in-law cooks. The art is not bad, and the food he makes is very delicious.

“Then I won’t eat it, just hide it. ”

As she said that, she stuffed the cakes into her sleeves. She wanted to throw them into the space, but Yueyan opened her sleeves towards her.

"Slave, please help Madam keep it. ”

　“Alright. ”

He Jiuniang gave the cake to Yueyan and took another sip of tea. She felt a little bored and felt that she had come early.

Yueshu pointed. The crowd not far away said: "Third Madam, someone seems to be coming towards us. "

Lu Baichuan's status is not low now. There are so many ladies and ladies here today. He Jiuniang doesn't need to salute them. She glanced over there lightly and said: "Come on, come on. I happen to be bored, so it would be nice to have a few people chat with me. ”
