Chapter 130: To Be a Pot-Taker(1/2)
When Xiao Jinyan made a move, Qingqing kept watching from the side with her eyes wide open. The Tang Sect was a martial arts family. She had been influenced by her since childhood and learned some superficiality from the third lady. However, Xiao Jinyan's punches made her dazzled. She did not expect the result to be like this, especially when Xiao Jinyan beat someone, Zhao and Li were all busy, and they didn't even look at this side.
However, she is Qingqing, the third lady’s personal maid, and is inviolable in the eyes of many servants. If she can’t even instruct three temporary workers, who will listen to her in the Tang family in the future?
Qingqing said coldly, "There is a man who has finished fighting, it's time to go to work!"
Zhao Langjiang slowly stood up and came to her two steps. He was one head taller than Qingqing. When he looked down at her, Qingqing felt a sense of oppression.
Qingqing took two steps back, "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Langjiang said: "Generally speaking, I don't hit women. But in life, there are always some surprises and surprises."
Qingqing said softly: "If you hit me, you will be offended. You will be driven out of the Tang Mansion tonight and get out of the bed and cover it."
Zhao Langjiang took another step forward, "So what?" After that, he swung his arm and slapped Qingqing.
At this time, one hand stopped him.
Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "Forget it." He said to Qingqing, "I'll go."
Qingqing thought to herself that you were still stubborn, but she couldn't bear to leave the Tang family's job, so she said coldly to Xiao Jinyan: "Come with me."
Qingqing walked in front, her face was not friendly. When the servants of the Servant House saw Qingqing, they saluted and avoided making a way out. This was one of the celebrities of the Tang Family Servant House and had a bad temper.
"I know you know martial arts." Qingqing said, "But this is the Tang Mansion. Don't think that you can do whatever you want after learning the three-legged cat kung fu for a few days, otherwise you won't even know how to die."
Xiao Jinyan shook his head slightly and smiled without saying a word. The reason why he got into the Tang Mansion was that he had no money, and the other hand, he wanted to see what this aristocratic family in the world looked like.
Seeing that he was silent, Qingqing said angrily, "What's wrong, I'm mute?"
Xiao Jinyan wondered, "What should I say?"
"Yes, Sister Qingqing!"
"Oh, I got it." Xiao Jinyan said.
Qingqing brought Xiao Jinyan to the east gate, and there was a mixed mandala flower on the carriage. Ordinary mandala flowers are all of a kind of beauty, but this mandala is obviously improved, with purple, red, and green mandala being in the flowering period.
Xiao Jinyan knew this kind of flower, and the flowering period was usually from April to August. Unexpectedly, it was the first month and it was already blooming. It was probably cultivated in a greenhouse.
"This pot of flowers was moved to Miss Third's room."
Xiao Jinyan moved the flower pot and followed Qingqing into the backyard through the side door, without saying a word along the way.
"Yeah, isn't this Qingqing?" A voice came, and a young man passed by on the trail.
When Xiao Jinyan saw that it turned out to be Tang Ao, the seventh young master of the Tang family, and thought that it was really a enemy. He even raised the flower pot upwards to cover his face. Fortunately, Tang Ao was paying attention to Qingqing, and he changed into a family costume, so Tang Ao did not recognize him.
"Hello, Master Seven!"
Qingqing gave a gamble to Tang Ao, but did not express too much. Tang Ao was just a young master ranked low in the Tang family. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. He was secretly called a waste in the family. Qingqing did not want to be too involved with him.
"I haven't seen each other for a long time. This time I went to Jiangnan, I brought some gifts back. Where can I get them when I have time?"
Qingqing's face showed a hint of contempt, "Thank you, Master Qi, I'll wait for time to visit the Master."
Of course, Qingqing would not have time to be so busy. Qingqing turned around and said to Xiao Jinyan, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
After saying that, he took Xiao Jinyan to the backyard and left Tang Ao aside. A slight anger appeared in Tang Ao's eyes, "It's just a maid, I'm just a maid who shook my face with me. A stinky bitch, let's see how I deal with you."
His eyes fell on Xiao Jinyan, and his heart suddenly trembled, thinking that this back was so familiar, but then he thought, he was really worried, how could that person come to our Tang family to be a servant?
Xiao Jinyan followed Qingqing and walked to the backyard after a cup of tea.
It is said to be a backyard, but it is actually a complex of buildings. There is a small lake with dozens of acres in the yard, called Tingyu Lake. There are pavilions, corridors and pavilions in the middle. Lotus flowers are planted in the middle, and some lotus branches have already seen green.
There are more than a dozen houses built along the lake in an orderly manner. Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that he is worthy of being a wealthy family. If no one leads the way, ordinary people will not be confused when they come in.
Passing through the courtyard corridor, there are rockery and strange rocks around them, either like ghosts or beasts. If you don’t know this, you may be shocked when you walk at night.
Xiao Jinyan moved the flower pot and looked around while walking, unable to help but admire. No wonder everyone likes to be rich. Such a life of rich people is really enviable. He used to be rich and lived in the courtyard arranged by Li Chuntie in the capital, but compared with the Tang family, it is still much inferior.
Qingqing saw everything. Xiao Jinyan, like everyone else, had no place to sit in the backyard for the first time, and looked like he had never seen the market before. So he said, "Walk with peace of mind, this is a place for wives and young men. If you hit them, I can't save you."
When I arrived at the northeast of Xiaohu, Tang Xiqiu's single-family courtyard was engraved with the words "flower language" on the front of the door.
Before entering the yard, a fragrance came. When I opened the door, I saw that the entire yard was almost full of flowers, all kinds of flowers.
Although the first month of Shu is not too cold, during this non-flowering season, more than a dozen flowers still bloom, bringing a bit of spring to the entire courtyard.
Qingqing scolded, "What are you looking at? Don't you work?"
Xiao Jinyan said lazily, “Look, again
What's wrong if you can't get into your eyes?" Qingqing said angrily, "Have you learned to talk back? Move the flowers into the house!"
Xiao Jinyan moved the mandala flowers to Tang Xiqiu's living room. The room was simple and the decoration was simple but elegant.
"Put it here, you can bask in the sun." Qingqing pointed to the window, Xiao Jinyan moved over, Qingqing said again, "Put it here, close to the main entrance."
Xiao Jinyan moved over again, and Qingqing said again, "It's not OK here, change the place."
Qingqing deliberately tried to make trouble for Xiao Jinyan, carrying a pot of flowers, putting them here and there, and changing seven or eight places in one breath.
"I said, Miss, can we choose the place and then decide which side to put it?"
How could I mess with you if Qingqing is like this? Frown, "If I don't try all the places, how can I know where to put them? Why? I don't want to do it anymore. If I don't want to do it, I can tell you to the manager, and I can roll the bed and get out of here today."
She knew that although the Tang family was very rules, the salaries of the people in the mansion were pretty good. With Xiao Jinyan's previous decay, he would definitely not be willing to bear this job.
"Who are you telling me to get out?"
A noble young man in a luxurious dress in Shu brocade appeared at the door and asked with a smile. When Qingqing saw the visitor, she quickly walked to the front and bowed slowly, "Sister Qingqing, see the eldest master."
This person is the eldest son of Tang Ji, the eldest son of Tang Zhengfeng, the head of the Tang family. Tang Ji is handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite steady. In addition, he is also the eldest son, and he is deeply favored by Tang Zhengfeng and is also the heir of the future head of the Tang family.
Tang Zhengfeng, the head of the Tang family, has four brothers. The Zheng generation is named after the four words "Fenghua Zhengmao". The four brothers gave birth to seven sons and one daughter.
The eldest young master Tang Ji, the second young master Tang Chu, the third young master Tang Xun, the fourth young master Tang Lian, the fifth young master Tang Mo, the sixth young master Tang Jiao, and the seventh young master Tang Ao. Among them, the eldest young master, the third young master, the sixth young master was born to Tang Zhengfeng, the second young master, the fourth young master, the fifth young master is the only son of Tang Zhenghua, and the seventh young master Tang Ao is the son of Tang Zhengmao. The third old master Tang Zhengzheng died young and had no descendants, leaving only the daughter Tang Xiqiu.
"Get up." Tang Ji walked in, "In a few days it will be the day when the third sister competes for marriage and invites the bride. I'll come and see if there is any need."
Tang Ji is a steady person. The old man is in charge of Tang Xiqiu's martial arts competition and recruiting relatives. He has been busy these days. Today, he takes advantage of the time to see Tang Xiqiu.
Qingqing said, "Miss Three and a few friends went to the flower market and they would have to come back later. Thank you for your concern. The arrangements here are very appropriate. Master, Qingqing made ginseng soup for Miss Three. Do you want to send some to you in the evening?"
Tang Ji smiled and shook his head, "No need."
Tang Ji walked around the living room and the yard, but before Tang Xiqiu could wait, he got up and left.
Qingqing shouted, "Master."
Tang Ji stopped after hearing this.
"If it's cold today, that boy Lai Xi is clumsy again. Why don't I go to warm your bed tonight?"
When Qingqing spoke, her face turned slightly red and she looked like a shy woman. Although the third lady Tang Xiqiu was deeply loved by the sect leader, she was not loved by the old master. This time, the old master wanted to attract a marriage competition. Although Tang Zhengfeng tried his best to oppose it, he could not resist him.
Tang Xiqiu is a wealthy girl. When she was the age of marriage between men and women, she should have found a noble young master who was of equal status to marry her, but for some reason she had a martial arts competition to get married.
Qingqing was worried that if the third lady really married an unknown guy, she would not have lived a hard life with her in the past, so she focused on the eldest young master Tang Ji. Even if she had no status, even if she was a girl with a wife, it would be worth it. So she boldly seduced Tang Ji while there was no outsider.
Tang Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled, "No need, thank you."
Qingqing finally seized the opportunity to get along with each other "alone", but how could she miss it? She took two steps forward and hugged Tang Ji from behind.
"Ki, you're so beautiful."
Tang Ji had a expressionless face and said coldly: "Let go."
Qingqing heard Tang Ji's tone unhappy, so she quickly let go and knelt down on the ground, "Master, I deserve to die."
Tang Ji turned around and touched her face, "I know what you think. Xiqiu is like my own sister. Even if she is a martial arts competition, she can't marry any cat or dog. Do you understand?"
Qingqing said in a trembling voice, "I understand."
Tang Ji nodded, "Do your duty well." After that, he turned around and left, and arrived at the door, and said, "Come here after the third evening."
Hearing the last sentence, Qingqing couldn't help but jump up, looking happy, "I will definitely serve the eldest son well." The last sentence was like a mosquito, almost inaudible.
Tang Ji turned around and left, without looking at Xiao Jinyan from beginning to end.
Qingqing looked at Xiao Jinyan with a cold face, "If you say a word about today, I will find someone to beat you to death by sticking you, do you understand?"
Xiao Jinyan thought that this little maid changed her face faster than reading a book. She smiled like a flower just now, but now she is as cold as ice. She has a yin-yang face, so she nodded immediately.
"Okay, let it be here!"
Xiao Jinyan said, "That's it?"
Qingqing sneered, "What, do you want me to treat you a drink?"
Xiao Jinyan said yes, I haven’t had a drink for several days!
Qingqing laughed, "Tang Dabao, you don't look in the mirror, just because you are worthy of drinking with this girl?"
A carriage stopped at the door and the coachman shouted, "Miss Three is back."
Upon hearing this, Qingqing ran out to greet her. After a moment, she helped a woman walk in.
This woman has a melon-shaped face, phoenix eyes, a waist-retracted bottom-up skirt, and a pink jacket on the outside. She is tall and graceful, and can be called the ultimate in the world. She looks cold and has a hint of sadness in her eyebrows and eyes, which is even more visible.
You Lian.
Xiao Jinyan thought to himself that this is Tang Xiqiu, the third lady of the Tang family. She is known as the number one beauty in Shu, but it is not a false statement. In terms of appearance, only Li Jinghong and Yuwen Shuang can compare with him.
