I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Although Hui Niang was not as tender-faced as an ordinary little girl, she also felt ashamed to be ridiculed by Wang Yan like this, and she didn't know what to do for a while.After being stunned for a moment, he stomped his feet resentfully in a shy manner, ran to the edge of the board wall and pulled Ban Xia's arm, "Wang Yan, since you are my junior brother, you must listen to me—quickly take my The servant girl has woken up, I, I will ignore you!"

Seeing Hui Niang's coquettish appearance, Wang Yan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, seeing that Hui Niang was really angry, he apologized in a soft voice, "Senior Sister, it's the fault of Junior Brother. I apologize." While speaking, he made a shallow bow.

Only then did Hui Niang feel that she had saved some face, and besides, in front of Kang Jian and the guards behind her, she didn't dare to be too coquettish and foolish, embarrassing Wang Yan, so she stepped down, "Seventh Prince, today you are the first I came here. Although my family background and status are not as good as yours, but at least it is your teacher... Sister, if you disrespect me and spread the word, you are disrespecting the teacher and disrespecting filial piety. Of course I can ignore it, but if someone with a heart knows Yes, but it will ruin your reputation."

When I was in the academy, I got such a cheap and obedient temperament...

Wang Yan smiled helplessly, bowed to Hui Niang again, and said: "I will disturb senior sister today, junior brother, I will leave right now." Then he turned his head and winked at Zhou Cen who was behind him, Zhou Cen stepped forward to give Ban Xia He patted twice on the chest, and then patted the chest of the young novice next to him twice, and then stood back silently behind Kang Jianjian.

Hui Niang moved her lips—that's fine with the little novice, Zhou Cen and Ban Xia are different, so it's a bit inappropriate to slap her finger on the woman's chest.But she also knew that it wouldn't help if she opened her mouth to criticize at this time, she might as well pretend not to know about it, and don't tell her after Banxia wakes up, so forget it.

"The two of them will wake up in a while, senior sister, I'll leave first, you can wait for news at the Qin residence."

Hui Niang nodded hastily, and when Wang Yan left with her servants, she immediately squatted in front of Banxia, ​​making a gesture of poking her arm with her finger——Banxia let out a small moan just at this time , and then woke up leisurely, and saw Hui Niang squatting in front of her, and the little novice next to her was still sleeping, so she hurriedly turned to sit and kneel, "Second Miss, this servant accidentally fell asleep, I hope Second Miss will punish you .”

"Oh, what's the matter." Hui Niang smiled nonchalantly, "I knelt there and recited sutras just now, and when I turned around, I saw you two leaning against the door and fell asleep, I couldn't bear to wake you up. Fortunately, it's cool in this room, so I sat for a while, and I came to call you when I saw that it was almost time to go back."

Ban Xia blushed a long time ago, put on a cap for Hui Niang, adjusted the gauze of the hat, and then left the Guanyin Hall with Hui Niang.

After the incident just now, Hui Niang didn't have the desire to wander anymore, and led Ban Xia back to the courtyard where the Qin family stayed temporarily.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and looked to the left with a look of astonishment: under the eaves of the west wing, Qin Jiarong was sitting on a bamboo chair, and Bai Shu was washing his feet.

Washing feet during the day is nothing new, it's just that Bai Zhu's eyes are looking up and down, and Hui Niang has looked all over the place as soon as she entered the yard.

Qin Jiarong was leaning on the back of the chair, enjoying the servant girl's service and expressing affection with her face, when she heard the sound of the courtyard door, she suddenly raised her head, and suddenly saw Huiniang standing at the door with a surprised face, feeling a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, Suddenly he pulled his feet back from Baishu's hands, and said in a self-defensive way: "Now that the weather is hot, washing feet with cold water during the day feels refreshing - Second Sister, do you want to try it too?"

Hui Niang is not familiar with this eldest brother. Qin Jiarong had already moved to the outer courtyard when she went to Beijing in her previous life, and she had to go to the academy to study every day from morning to night—even though she didn't find out why, she seemed to be very hardworking.The old lady felt sorry for her grandson's hard work, and she had long since spared him the morning and night time. He only occasionally came in to have dinner with his grandmother, and the old lady rarely asked her granddaughters to accompany her.In her previous life, Hui Niang hadn't said a few words to this elder brother other than saying hello and greetings. This life has been in Beijing for two months, and there is basically no difference from her previous life.

The two brothers and sisters had nothing to say face to face, and Qin Jiarong's words were not beautiful, but made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

At this moment, Hui Niang just wanted to slap her in the mouth twice, so that she didn't control her eyes just now, and now it's too late to avoid it...

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. My sister will go back to the room first." After speaking, Hui Niang forced a smile, and hurried back to the east chamber.

This way, the previous incidents in the Guanyin Hall were almost dissipated. Hui Niang asked Banxia to put down the bamboo curtain in front of the window, and stood behind the screen to change into the gauze robe she usually wears at home. Then she sat on the kang and asked Ban Xia to give her some snacks.

"I didn't feel anything when I was eating at noon, but I was a little hungry after shopping outside for half a day."

Lian Qiao hurried over to pour tea for Hui Niang, "If girl is hungry, eat more at night—I heard that there was a bowl of noodles missing at noon? It won't happen at night."

Ban Xia also said: "That's right, girl, it's better to eat less snacks, the time for dinner is early in the monastery - the monks still have evening classes, maybe they will bring dinner later."

Hui Niang listened, she only ate a piece of snack, and then she was distracted while waiting for dinner.It was Qin Jiarong who came suddenly at noon, so the old lady let her grandson and granddaughter eat with her. When it was dinner time, she pursued her freedom even more. The madam told the second girl to have dinner in the house at ease, so she didn't have to go to wait on her. The old lady has to read scriptures by herself after dinner, so the second girl should rest earlier."

Not long after, Banxia came back with meals, some from Anise, and some from her and Forsythia.Hui Niang's is a bowl of assorted Bazhen Arhat noodles, and a few side dishes, not as rich as the ones seen in the old lady's room at noon, and the dishes are not as many, but there are a few important things, vegetarian duck, vegetarian chicken, Seasonal vegetables and green vegetables are all served in small plates, which has a rustic taste.

Pinellia and Forsythia ate ordinary plain noodles, and the soup was also a soup made from various fungi, but the toppings and seasonings were not as rich as the bowl eaten by Anise. There were only a few green vegetable leaves, and Two shreds of tofu skin.

Although Hui Niang complained of being hungry when she came back from the front in the afternoon, she still had something to worry about, so she ate another piece of pastry to make up for it. At this time, she didn't have any appetite. Although the bowl of plain noodles was delicious, it was too fresh , but it makes people feel tired.Hui Niang used to live in her hometown and her uncle's house, so naturally she didn't eat alone. After coming to Beijing, she mostly ate with the old lady's room, and she didn't have the opportunity to be kind to the people around her.Now, instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, let the two maids scoop up some toppings from her bowl, "There are so many, plus this table of side dishes, how can I eat it all by myself? You scoop some toppings, and then add some Dish, sit down, let's eat together, the three of us."

"It's against the rules." Ban Xia and Lian Qiao looked at each other and shook their heads, "Although there is a curtain covering it, outsiders saw it by mistake, so it doesn't look like it."

"Well, everyone is eating dinner now—even if you don't use it yourself, you are serving others to eat. Who has the time to look into this room? You two can sit together, so as not to waste twice, and wait for me After eating, your noodles will be soft and not tasty."

Ban Xia and Lian Qiao repeatedly declined, but finally they couldn't persuade Hui Niang, so they each scooped some toppings from her bowl, but no matter what, they refused to sit down and eat at the same table with Hui Niang.

Hui Niang had no choice but to assign food to the two, and let them take turns to eat, lest they take turns to eat after she finished eating, and it would be dark when they all finished eating.

Pinellia sent Forsythia to eat in the room first, and Hui Niang picked some of each side dish from the table and put them in Forsythia's bowl before putting Forsythia away.He smiled and said to Ban Xia: "Give it to her first, you won't blame me for being biased?"

"How come? Miss, hurry up and eat. When the girl finishes eating, the rest will belong to the servant? The servant is waiting for Qiao Zong'er." Ban Xia took a new pair of chopsticks and gave them to Hui Niang while talking. cloth dish.

Before I ate it, I thought that the plain noodles smelled fresh and greasy, but once I ate it, I felt delicious again.In addition, there was a sweet and sour fried gluten among the few side dishes at night, which was very appetizing. In the end, Hui Niang ate all the gluten and half a bowl of noodles, and drank all the soup before letting Pinellia Cleared up the dishes on the table and went to eat.

Lian Qiao came back from dinner a long time ago, and smiled when she saw this, "Girl usually doesn't like sweets, but she really likes this sweet and sour fried gluten - I remember that sister-in-law Zhou in the big kitchen also cooks this dish, wait One day, if the girl orders her own food, I will ask my sister-in-law Zhou to make this dish for the girl—not to mention fried gluten, even if I make another bowl of Arhat noodles, it will not be too difficult."

"Then I will trouble you." Hui Niang said with a smile.At this time, Banxia went to eat in the room over there, and only Forsythia was serving in the room, Animian didn't want to think about those bad things, so she chatted with Forsythia—although Lianxia was no better than Banxia, ​​Zisu and others working in the inner courtyard After a long time, she may not know the affairs of the masters so clearly, but as the daughter of the second housekeeper and his wife, she still knows a lot about the relationship between the servants and the family.Huiniang asked her again, "I don't seem to have eaten the dishes cooked by Mrs. Zhou. According to you, Mrs. Zhou's first-hand vegetarian dishes are no worse than the monks in Tanhui Temple. Why does the old lady only eat vegetables in the small kitchen?" The dishes cooked by Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

Lian Qiao stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice: "Mother Xu is an old man in the family. It is said that she and Butler Zhang's family were both serving at home when the master was still in his hometown in the northwest. The old lady believed in her, so she only ate her. The same is true for the wife. There is also a small kitchen outside the main courtyard. Aunt Song, who is in charge, is the wife’s dowry. Although Sister-in-law Zhou is talented, she has no backer, and the man in the family is honest. She only came here a few years ago The coachman who works in the mansion, Sister-in-Law Zhou came in to do things with the men, and has no foundation, so she can only cook in the big kitchen for the aunts and the young masters and girls in the aunt's yard."
