I was a housekeeper in ancient times
Chapter 24: Lotus Seed Soup Dispute
The girl's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yu Muyan. She looked at her for a while and realized that she was the fourth girl of the Yu family, and that was not Yu Muqin.
Wait, how many daughters does the Yu family have?
Yu Muyan said with a smile: "Mom, why are you staring at Sister Liu? Could it be that you don't even recognize Sister Liu?"
She stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen her for a while. The fourth girl is taller than before and looks more beautiful. I really didn't recognize her at first."
The girl is the fourth daughter of the Yu family and the youngest sister of Yu Muyan, Yu Muliu.
Because on the seventh day, Old Lady Yu came with her two daughters and persuaded Yu Muyan to commit suicide, she didn't have a good impression of the Yu family, especially Yu Muyan's sisters.
What's more, with Mrs. Yu's character, how can she raise a good daughter?
However, this Yu Muliu was beyond her expectations. She looked well-behaved, smart and very likable.
"Mom is not old yet. It's been such a short time since I last saw her, and she has forgotten me. She deserves to be punished." Yu Muliu pretended to be angry.
"It's my fault. I'll go to the kitchen and get some snacks for the fourth girl to make amends."
"My mother still loves me the most."
When she arrived at the big kitchen, which was unusually quiet at this time, she immediately saw Sister Huan hiding in the corner and eating something secretly, timidly and afraid to see the light.
She really doubted whether Huan Jie'er was the reincarnation of a starving ghost or whether she had been abused by her original owner. Otherwise, how could she be so hungry and greedy?
He has three children. The eldest daughter is cowardly and weak, the youngest daughter is greedy and lazy, and the son is a hopeless person.
She really feels more and more hopeful as time goes by.
She quietly walked behind Sister Huan and patted her on the shoulder, "You're cheating again!"
This frightened Sister Huan so much that she collapsed to the ground, not saying a word. She pinched her neck and her body staggered.
She realized something was wrong and went forward to see Sister Huan pointing at her throat with one hand and pulling her arm with the other. Her face turned blue as she spoke with difficulty, "It's stuck, it's stuck..."
When she saw the plate of candied green plums on the ground, she panicked and patted Huan Jie'er's back hard, but it was obviously no use.
In her panic, she thought of modern first aid methods, and quickly walked behind Sister Huan, lifted her up, put her clenched fists on Sister Huan's stomach, and pressed hard.
Fortunately, Sister Huan was not heavy and was small in stature. After she pressed back and forth several times, Sister Huan coughed hard and coughed out the green plum.
Both mother and daughter slumped on the ground, one gasping for breath and the other coughing continuously.
Huan Jie'er, who had recovered from the shock, looked at her resentfully, "Mom, you are truly my mother. I have never seen a mother who would murder her own daughter."
She smiled awkwardly, feeling quite guilty, "I, I didn't mean it, who knew you were eating green plums."
"Mom, are you blaming me? I'm not bothering anyone by eating here."
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'll apologize to you. Can you come to my room tonight and I'll give you an earring as compensation?"
Sister Huan was easy to coax. As long as she had food to eat and jewelry to wear, she would be forgiven immediately.
After wasting some time, she quickly went to the big kitchen to see if there were any snacks.
Generally speaking, dim sum and the like take a long time to prepare, so they are usually prepared in advance so they won’t go bad for a while.
The person in charge of the dim sum was Feng Li's wife, who was an expert at making dim sum. She opened the steamer and said, "The lotus seed soup is still hot. It's just right for this weather."
Lin Weiqiao nodded, "What about the snacks? The fourth daughter of the Yu family is here, and the lady asked me to bring some snacks."
Feng Li's wife took out the prepared cakes, including freshly made lotus cakes, green plum cakes, pea cakes, fish paste cakes, and chestnut cakes.
She asked Feng Li's wife to take a few pieces of each, as well as the lotus seed soup, and packed them together. She then asked Sister Huan to get two cups of tea, and then everything would be complete.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the second girl Hua Jieer came to the kitchen for the first time.
Hua Jie'er is about 11 or 12 years old. Because she loves sweets, her body is chubby. If she were still young, she would be cute. But now that she is about to enter the stage of being a girl, her body is a little stout.
He looks very similar to Ding. Although he is very young, there is a fierceness in his eyes and eyebrows.
As the eldest daughter of the second wife, Old Madam Lu and Mrs. Ding doted on her, so she became arrogant and domineering.
As soon as she arrived, Hua Jieer pointed at the things on the table and said, "Pack the lotus seed soup for me, and take these snacks to Fengyaxuan."
For a moment, the atmosphere inexplicably froze.
The one who was in trouble was Feng Li's wife. She first looked at Lin Weiqiao, then at Hua Jie'er, and said flatteringly: "Second Miss, Mother Lin wants to take this lotus seed soup to entertain the guests..."
Before she finished speaking, Hua Jieer said dissatisfiedly: "Entertain guests? What guests? I don't even have anything to eat, why don't you stop talking nonsense."
"Second Miss, it was Mother Lin who requested it first. Can you have some snacks first? I'll cook it again."
"I'm starving waiting for you to cook it. It's already ready, why are you making me wait?"
Lin Weiqiao, who was waiting on the side, rolled her eyes. Seeing that Feng Li's wife was in a dilemma, she said, "Let the lotus seed soup be given to the second young lady. The fourth young lady Liu who is here as a guest is the elder after all. She can't snatch food from the younger generation, right? If the second young lady wants it, just take it."
She deliberately said it in a condescending tone. In fact, she didn't want to give in. She just thought that with Hua Jie'er's temper, she would definitely make a fuss if she didn't give in.
Even though she was a maid, no matter how respectable she was, she was still an inferior old maid after all. If she really made a scene in front of Yu Muyan, Yu Muyan would probably make her bow her head.
Of course, she can bow her head, but she is not a vegetarian.
"What do you mean?" Hua Jie'er was not stupid, so she could naturally hear the sarcasm in her words. "Do I have to ask you before I can take my own things?"
"I dare not, but this Earl's Mansion is not just the Earl's Mansion of the Second Young Lady. I came here to get cakes and treat the guests on behalf of our Madam. I don't know how I have offended the Second Young Lady. Please forgive me."
As they were talking, Yu Muliu came over happily, “Why did you take so long, Mom? I’m getting hungry waiting. Don’t you want to give it to me?”
Lin Weiqiao said hurriedly: "Miss, that's not the case. It's just that I came at an unlucky time and ran into the second lady who also came to take it, so I was delayed. Miss is the elder, so please let the second lady go."
Yu Muliu and Hua Jie'er are of similar age, only two or three years apart, but a generation apart.
Yu Muliu glanced at Hua Jie'er and said obediently, "Then follow Mom's wishes."
At this moment, Hua Jie'er also realized that something was wrong. Yu Muliu was the elder and also the guest. He was able to give way to the younger generation. Who would not praise him if others told others about it?
On the contrary, she, as the host, was snatching snacks from the elder guests. There were maids and old women present. If word got out, wouldn't she be considered ignorant?
