C8 (2/2)
The attention in the room was no less than outside. He felt his cheeks start to blaze, not out of shame, but out of fear.
The servants had also taught her how to behave when she saw the ladies. She had just not knelt on the gravel path under the sun like she did yesterday.
He tried his best to walk towards the madame, kneeled down according to the rules, and said, ”Why have you come to greet the madame?”
Some girl had brought tea, but it wasn't for any reason.
Why was she lying on the ground? She could only hear the crisp sound of the top bowl touching the teacup. She tried her best to concentrate so that the person in charge would not scream. She did not hear it.
In fact, how come the concave and convex, the other people did not send tea, but gargle.
The old lady's words were much gentler than Third Miss's. After a while, she heard a gentle voice, ”Stand up.”
Why did he get up so obediently? He then nodded his head and gave two hundred and fifty praises for his strong and servile nature. So what if she was Steamed Bun? Steamed Bun had a filling!
It wasn't the first time he had met the madame, but the fear this time was greater than the previous time. Last time, she had a companion, and this time she belonged to the 'one on one' category …
”He's 16 this year, why does he look so young? Last time we met, it didn't look like this.”
How could he not know how to reply?
Without waiting for her to think of an idea, she heard Senior Servant Cheng's voice from the left front, ”Some people might look young, but How can you give birth to a girl's body has already grown, and the rest will look good in the manor.”
”What's your name, what's your original surname? ”Who else is at home?”
She still remembered the tone used by the granny broker, ”If you don't listen to me, you won't be able to keep your life in the future. Even if you lose your life by a fluke, you won't be able to escape the fate of being sold to the land of fireworks! At that time, not only will your family be shamed by you, you'll also be doomed for life. ”
He vaguely guessed the reason for changing his surname.
”In reply to the madame, before this servant entered the estate, this servant was surnamed Yu. In the family, there was only one younger brother who lived with his cousin …”
When the old mistress heard this, she was a little displeased. She slowly said, ”I don't know your surname, but is it the 'Yu' of the human word?”
”In reply to the madame, this servant knows my surname but does not know how to write it, nor do I know how to say it. No, I do not know if it is the 'human head' Yu. I only remember that there seems to be a beam above my head.”
The madame was amused and nodded. ”He's a real child. He's... hard for you to come up with.” ”It seems that not knowing a character can also have the advantage of not knowing a character at all, which is much better than those who just know a few words and then start to talk in a loud voice.”
Why didn't he say anything? Lowering his head, he wished he could bury it in his chest.
The Countess sized her up again and saw that she was wearing a full dress. However, the skirt was wide and looked like a little girl wearing an adult's dress. She said, ”Your clothes don't fit. Why haven't you changed it?”
How come he had just escaped a calamity and was met with another blade attack? He did his best to explain everything clearly, ”This servant's daughter, Hong, is not good, and is currently learning …”
The madame laughed again. ”Who are you learning from?”
How could she immediately know that she had answered the wrong question, she shouldn't have said the last sentence, she could only remedy the situation, ”In reply to the madame, I did not acknowledge you as my master, but rather saw the beauty of the Elder Sister Ruyun, I was envious.
The madame did not move. She looked at her fixedly for a while before saying, ”Since it's not good for a female celebrity, it's time to practice more. But don't forget your duty.” Tell me, what do you know? ”
I can write computer code! He also knew how to program!
”This servant can wash clothes. I even learned how to clean houses from Second Master's attendants …”
There was a slight chuckle in the room...
Why did it feel like he had escaped death when he came out of the madame's room?
Her face paled and her lips trembled a little. She took the bundle from the hands of this girl called Yue Ji and said, ”Thank you elder sister. I will take it myself.”
Yue Ji was the little girl who had been laughing in her room just now, but the madame didn't blame her. She only asked her to help him choose a few sets of clothes and to help her change his clothes.
Naturally, Yue Ji straightforwardly took over the job.
He Sheng nodded and bowed to Yue Ji before returning.
His tears had even turned into a stream of sweat, saving him the effort to cry.
In the courtship.
The Countess took a sip of her tea and nodded. ”This tea tastes really good. The osmanthus flower's craftsmanship is getting better and better. I'll also bring a cup for your mother to drink. She accompanied me for an hour before quickly sitting down.” And then he said this to the Senior Servant Cheng.
The Senior Servant Cheng did not decline and sat down with a smile. He then mocked himself, ”This time is not like the past, when I was 15 or 16 years old, I would be full of spirit even if I stood from morning to night.”
