Chapter 6 – Bean Girl
The two siblings separated.
Jiang Yishi returned to the Scorched Garden, nursemaid Sister Wu came over to use a handkerchief to remove the rain beads on her clothes, and carried out a pair of embroidered shoes squatted down to give her to change on.
There are only three lackeys in the Scorched Garden, Sister Wu, the first maid Shui Lu, and the second maid Shui Xiang.
Shui Xiang carried back two food boxes from the kitchen, one for the master and one for the subordinates.
She set the master’s meal on the table, there was only a small chicken with roasted mushrooms, a veggie fried bean sprouts, and a vermicelli soup.
The days of the Burmese House were not considered extravagant, and the masters’ portion of the meal was three dishes and one soup, three meat and one veggie, and if they couldn’t finish it, they rewarded the underlings. There is one less dish, the chicken meat is chicken head and neck, bean sprouts are fried, and there is not even a slice of meat in the vermicelli soup.
The underlings’ meals are even worse, with only two vegetarian dishes, and the portions are pitifully small.
Ever since Jiang Yishi had gotten into trouble, this was how Scorched Garden had been treated.
Shuilu took a look and exploded, angry, “Those dead grannies who hold up the high and step on the low, treating us harshly is just a matter of course, but also treating the master so harshly. You’re a little too honest, you should just hold these meals on them and spit on them.”
Shui Xiang reddened her face, she also felt useless. Beaming, she said, “I asked Sister Chai if she made a mistake, how come the Second Maiden’s dishes can’t even catch up with some of the lackeys. Sister Chai said there was no mistake ……”
Sister Wu also hates the pinchy and strong Shui Lu, but because her mother is the steward next to the eldest Mrs. Jiang, Sister Xia, usually give her some face. Frowning, she said, “The girl has just upset the head of the family, why bother to make more trouble.”
The kitchen dared to be like this, it must have been handed over by someone. The old lady wouldn’t care about such a trivial matter, it must be that the eldest Mrs. Jiang hated her for letting people get into trouble. Jiang Yishi had endured until now because she didn’t want that matter to come up tomorrow.
Jiang Yishi glanced at Shui Lu and Shui Xiang, sighed and said, ”I made that mistake, grandmother has already explicitly said to let me go to the manor to avoid the wind, this residence will not be less than a few years. You are all fifteen years old, going to the countryside with me will affect the marriage, I am also not willing to delay you. If you have a way out, think of a way to find another way out.”
Sister Wu’s eyes reddened, and she explained, “The girl has grown up well, perhaps in a year and a half, the old lady will come to her senses and take you back again.”
Shui Xiang knelt down, “Miss don’t drive the slave girl away, wherever the girl goes, the slave girl will go.”
She was not a domestic child, and in this mansion, the people who treated her the best were Second Miss and Sister Wu.
Shui Lu also took a stand, “The slave girl doesn’t want to go anywhere.”
How unspoken her words were, everyone present could hear it.
Shui Lu’s mother, Sister Xia, was the favored person in front of Grand Madame Jiang, and the reason why she came to serve Jiang Yishi was because of that promise that old Duke Cheng once made, and she wanted to follow Jiang Yishi to marry into a high family.
Her mother knew yesterday that the second girl would be punished to the manor, and had already begged the grand madam to transfer her elsewhere, and the grand madam had agreed.
Jiang Yishi nodded, considered satisfied with their loyalty. She also said to Shui Lu, “You go to the main courtyard to see how my eldest uncle is doing, if his injuries are serious, I still have to send some filial piety over.”
This is exactly what Shui Lu wanted, busy going to the main courtyard.
As soon as Shui Lu went out, Grandma Wu spat, “That white-eyed wolf can’t be fed well, it’s better to leave early.”
Jiang Yishi would not let Shui Lu off the hook like this. It was just that now she had to vacate a maid’s place, fill the person she wanted, and then clean up this brat.
It was ridiculous that she had kept Shui Lu by her side in her previous life, cleverly thinking that through Shui Lu she could know more about the news from the big house’s side.
She sat down to eat at the table and said, “With Shui Lu gone, I want to ask Bean Yatou over.”
The Bean Maiden was a family child, and because of her lack of heart and love of fighting, the people in the house called her the Bean Maiden. Over time, they didn’t even remember her real name. Such a person was not allowed to enter the house to work, but she has a handful of strength, grandfather old, brother sick, the housekeeper arranged for her to go to the kitchen. Not only do they burn the fire and chop the wood, but if there is a need for strength work in the inner courtyard, they will also let her do it.
The previous year, when the Bean girl first entered the house, she picked two peonies in the garden and pinned them to her hair. The woman who looked after the garden said she was a thief and asked her to pay 20 cents for it. The girl was angry and anxious, explaining that she was not a thief, thinking that the flowers in the garden could be picked cheaply, and that she did not have the money to pay …….
The mother-in-law wanted to blackmail money, said she would sue to the first lady, threw her out.
Bean girl cried out, saying that if she lost this errand, she, her grandfather, and her brother would have no way to live. Jiang Yishi happened to be passing by and helped her out.
Don’t look at the simple girl, but she still remembers her kindness. Every time she sees Jiang Yishi from afar, she will run over to greet him.
Jiang Yishi also knows that this girl can not only have a handful of strength, but a large force, belonging to the kind of force to pull mountains, hands also have some kung fu.
In his previous life, there was a time when Jiang Xun fought with a few playboys. Jiang Xun tall, good hands, but two fists can’t beat four hands, was the group of people beaten head to head. It was just when the Bean girl saw, rushed up to the group of people a fat beating, but also the Prince of the Marquis of Zhennan broke his legs.
Jiang Xiao not only do not protect their own family, but instead reprimanded Jiang Xun offended the nobles, and let people hit the Bean girl fifty plates, sold out.
Jiang Xun kneeled down and begged for mercy, failed to keep the Bean girl. And want to buy their own secretly, people were sold where do not know.
Jiang Xun went to the nunnery to talk to Jiang Yishi about this, tears in his eyes.
Jiang Yishi wants to take the Bean girl over. Not only can she protect her, she also has a powerful bodyguard by her side.
Grandma Wu was not too willing, “Miss, the girl Bean is not smart, I’m afraid she won’t be able to serve you well.”
Jiang Yi shi smiled, “Meticulous work Grandma and Shui Xiang do, Yan girl is strong and good, with her, we will be safer in the countryside.”
Sister Wu took a look at the girl who was getting more and more beautiful, it was indeed such a reason. She smiled and said, “The girl is thoughtful.”
Shui Xiang laughed again and said, “When I went to the kitchen to get the food, girl Bean whispered to me that it was sister Huan’er who asked Sister Chai to reduce the second girl’s routine. She also said that the second girl is the nicest person and the best looking. Seeing Second Miss suffer, she was so sad that she couldn’t eat well.”
Huan’er was Grand Madam Jiang’s eldest maid.
Jiang Yishi and Sister Wu both laughed, thinking that asking the Bean maid over was a really good idea.
After eating, Jiang Yishi asked Sister Wu and Shui Xiang to make shoes for Jiang Xun, and she made socks and purses.
Fatherless children are pitiful, Jiang Xun is especially so. Naughty, reckless, will not be able to please, not the elders happy …… cynical skin but has a kind heart. Especially for Jiang Yishi this sibling, is the wholehearted love, only the previous life of Jiang Yishi did not have the heart to feel.
Jiang Chen is a man, most of the time before going to war in the barracks, at most every ten days to go home, but also ignored this son. Several of Jiang Xun’s subordinates were not allowed to be used, or were not devoted. Despite the fact that there is no shortage of clothes every season, they just don’t wear well, either they are scratched, or they don’t match.
Even a fall can fall off the shoes, obviously the shoes do not fit.
