C53 A pair of talent and beauty (2/2)
”Of course not, quickly come in.” Wang Ruoyin shook her head and quickly said: ”I also like bros who are loyal to one another. It's a pity that my mother only gave birth to me, and that's why she gave birth to me.”
”Apologies Big Sister Ruo Yin, I've caused you so much grief, please don't be sad anymore. The deceased have already passed away, I think your mother was looking at you from the heavens, hoping that you would grow up happily.” Fang Ru Xiu said.
”All I know is that I'm really envious of you, little sister Ru Xiu, for doting on your uncle so much, and treating your good brother so well.” Wang Ruoyin said: ”Being on good terms with little sister today, I hope that little sister can truly treat big sister as big sister.”
”Of course, if I have the time, I will come often to see you in the future.” Fang Ruxiu held Wang Ruoyin's hand and said.
Fang Yizhi stood obediently by Fang Ruyi's side, curiously sizing up everything in the 'King's Mansion'. It was early spring, but the Duke's Mansion was already filled with beautiful flowers and flowers. Regardless of whether it was the walls, screens, or the handheld corridor, Fang Yizhi was curious about them all. But fortunately, he only looked at them, so even though he was curious, he still followed behind Fang Ruyan without looking around.
The floor of the 'King's Mansion' was extremely clean, and Fang Ruxiu was not as carefree as she was before. Instead, she unconsciously walked towards the ladies that all the young misses were supposed to walk on, with that attitude and appearance, even though she was wearing ordinary clothes, she still seemed to have an extraordinary air about her.
”Miss, you've finally come.” Just as they passed through the gates, a teenage girl came up to them and said: ”Miss, if you want to go out, you have to bring Little He with you. If you go out alone, this servant will be worried.”
”Aiya, there's nothing to worry about. I have a guest today. Hurry up and prepare dinner, I'm going to entertain my new sister.” Wang Ruoyin instructed the servant of the Little He.
Fang Ruxiu could tell that Wang Ruoyin should still be very dignified at home. Not only did all the servants listen to her words, even her personal maid did not dare to question her as she obediently went to prepare.
”My father was a businessman and wasn't home all day. He originally wanted to entrust me to my relatives to take care of me, but I didn't want to go. I still felt at home, although sometimes I feel a bit lonely.” Wang Ruoyin explained to Fang Ruxiu as she led her into the house.
Her maid seemed to be more than just a single person. Very soon, another maid saw her enter and bowed towards her before brewing tea for Fang Ruxiu and the others.
”Big Sister Ruo Yin, your house is so big, and you normally stay alone at home. Wouldn't that be a bit empty? Fang Ru Xiu said.
”Yeah.” Wang Ruoyin took a sip of tea and said: ”But fortunately, these girls are usually good at serving, and my grandmother is also at home.”
”Oh, then where does she live? Since you're a guest, do you want to pay her a visit? ” Fang Ruxiu looked at Fang Ruo Yin and asked.
”No need.” She was afraid that once she saw Fang Ruxiu, she would ask around again. However, after she forcefully said ”No need”, she felt that what she said was not really appropriate, thus she said: ”I have no other intentions. We can talk about these things after you guys have eaten your fill.”
”Yes, I know.” Fang Ruxiu nodded, then casually chatted with Wang Ruoyin about some other things.
The Wang family's food was served very quickly. After chatting for a while, the kitchen sent someone to bring out several boxes of food. The maidservant helped place the dishes onto the table, and a dozen or so plates filled the entire table.
”Go, prepare another table of good food and deliver it to the accounts room. Tell them that you are thanking him for helping me today.” Wang Ruoyin instructed the servant Xiao He.
”Yes, I understand.” Little He kneeled down and answered.
”Wait.” Little He stopped and looked at Fang Ruxiu. Fang Ruxiu had wanted to say something just now, but she seemed to have suddenly recalled something. She opened her mouth and merely warned, ”Don't be too troublesome, just do whatever you want.”
In actuality, Fang Ruzhu had originally wanted to say that there was no need to cook anymore, so she could just allocate a bit from here. In any case, the two of them wouldn't be able to finish it. However, just as she was about to say these, she suddenly remembered that regardless of whether it was the officials or the rich and powerful gentry, their masters ate a different meal than the unruly servants. Even the maids' personal servants only ate slightly better food.
Thus, although these masters seemed to be wasteful, in reality, the leftover food was usually distributed among the maids standing next to them. They already had chopsticks for their meals, and there were also personal dishes for their meals. They weren't dirty at all, and in the eyes of servants who couldn't even fill their stomach, they didn't care about such things at all. They were all honored to have been given dishes by their masters.
The Wang Clan was actually just a small clan. Naturally, they would take whatever they liked, and there was no need for them to have food or clothing. In reality, he still felt a little more at ease with his food. At the very least, with the time he spent holding onto her chopsticks, it was sufficient to allow her to eat her fill without leaving a trace.
It was not Fang Yizhi's first time visiting someone else's home, but this was the first time he was able to have so many dishes and eat anything he wanted.
He seemed a little reserved and a little embarrassed. He just lowered his head and continued to eat.
But when Wang Ruoyin realized this, she picked up a few pieces of vegetables and placed them into Fang Yizhi's bowl. With her eyes, she signaled for him to hurry up and eat them, then left to eat her. Although the Wang family was a small family, they also wanted to keep silent without saying anything.
