Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 83 The Deceitful Servant
"Squeaky~~~"
Cicadas broke through the soil and climbed the trees.
With the first chirp of a cicada, Jiang Miaomiao's first summer began.
A large straw mat was laid out under the lush peach tree.
A tiny baby, as delicate as a porcelain doll, sat on the straw mat. The baby's sparse hair was tied in a small bun with a red string.
The little baby, dressed in a bright green floral dress, revealed her delicate, white hands and feet, and crawled around on the straw mat.
Climb to the edge.
They turned back and climbed back up...
No matter how hard it crawled, it couldn't get out of the straw mat; it seemed to have imprisoned itself within its own confines.
Mother and Aunt Xiuxiu were picking melons under the melon trellis, occasionally glancing at Jiang Miaomiao.
Then I saw the baby's face and laughed.
There's no need to worry about her crawling around or getting her clothes dirty.
Xiuxiu smiled and exclaimed, "What an easy child!"
"Yes, my little darling is much more well-behaved, much less troublesome than those two boys." Lu Qingyao smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Then he turned around and continued picking fruits and vegetables.
Around the time of Qingming Festival, people plant melons and beans.
In the hot summer months, melons ripen and fall from their vines.
In the spring, they set aside a vegetable garden in the yard and planted some melons, fruits and vegetables.
Nourished by sunshine and rain, the fruits and vegetables are growing rapidly.
The first batch of ripe winter melons, gourds, and cantaloupes are ready to be harvested.
Lu Qingyao planned to send these fresh fruits and vegetables to the Cui family elders to have a taste.
To express my gratitude.
I also took Jiang Zifeng and his brother to school.
He picked up the little baby who was happily crawling on the straw mat and threw a meat bone into Jiang Xiaobai's basin.
Just get ready to go out.
The little white wolf, who had been half-closing its eyes, suddenly opened them, its eyes gleaming, and went forward to gnaw on a bone.
Jiang Miaomiao grinned, revealing two white front teeth.
If Jiang Xiaobai has meat to eat, he won't compete with her for food anymore.
She felt that the wolf cubs were growing faster than her; they had already been weaned and were now half-grown.
The wolf cub wanted to eat meat, but since there was no adult wolf to teach it how to hunt, it could only eat what was readily available.
Jiang Miaomiao tried to feed her into a pure wolf, but it all came to nothing.
To the family's surprise, Jiang Xiaobai actually brought his own food.
Early in the morning.
When Mother opened the courtyard gate, she saw two rabbits placed at the entrance.
Two rabbits that are still alive.
Every few days, prey would appear in front of Jiang Miaomiao's house.
Sometimes it's a rabbit, sometimes a pheasant, sometimes a fox...
Then Xiao Miaomiao got several more beautiful fur blankets.
Lu Qingyao tied her daughter to her back and, together with Xiuxiu, loaded a basket of melons, fruits, and fresh bamboo shoots onto the oxcart.
The best time for bamboo shoots to grow is between February and May; bamboo shoots grown after that are no longer tender.
So they decided to send some to the Cui family.
Mr. Cui is a typical scholar and artist who loves bamboo and even more so, bamboo shoots.
This is probably why he abandoned the bustling Jiangzhou and went into seclusion in Qingshi Town.
Even if they live in seclusion here.
Even so, some people still travel great distances to come.
As Jiang Miaomiao and her family drove their carriage toward the Cui residence, some others arrived before them.
Qi Caiwei led her son and daughter off the carriage.
The daughter, Jiang Zijin, and the son, Jiang Zipei, are twins, and the younger Jiang Ziyan is a few months old.
Originally, she didn't want to bring her daughter to this poor and remote place, but she was even more worried about leaving her with her mother-in-law.
That old hag was sharp-tongued and mean-spirited. Even after going to the capital and living as a noblewoman for so many years, she still couldn't shake off her impoverished and shabby appearance.
Rustic and stingy.
If I were to entrust my daughter to her, I wonder what kind of world she would turn out to be!
The three stood beside the carriage, refusing to move forward.
He was surrounded by servants.
"Aunt Mei, you haven't come to the wrong place, have you? Are you sure this is Grand Tutor Cui's residence?"
Qi Caiwei frowned, staring at the gate of the Cui residence in disbelief.
The courtyard is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, with several green bamboos extending out from the courtyard wall.
It wasn't even as grand as the Xu family mansion next door.
How can anyone believe that a dignified imperial tutor would live in such a dilapidated courtyard!
The old servant, Mei Gu, stepped forward and reported, "Madam, according to the information the master has gathered, Grand Tutor Cui is indeed living in seclusion here; there's no doubt about it..."
Fearing that the lady might have made a wasted trip, she even asked a few more people to inquire about it.
It is said that the residence of Grand Tutor Cui is the most inconspicuous residence in this area, located next to the residence of Magistrate Xu Heng.
Moreover, several visits were made to deliver visiting cards in the past few days, and the gatekeeper never said it wasn't the Cui residence.
Qi Caiwei looked displeased. "Then why couldn't the visiting card be submitted after several attempts?"
She was afraid that this old tutor would be arrogant and look down on her, a mere concubine's daughter, so she specially asked her father and stepmother for two visiting cards.
I thought that no matter how aloof and proud he was, he should at least give my father some face.
Unexpectedly, the old man showed no respect whatsoever and actually returned the father's visiting card.
She had no choice but to personally visit her stepmother's home with her visiting card.
“Madam, I’ll try again. If I can’t see Grand Tutor Cui, I can’t possibly not see Old Madam Cui either!” Mei Gu stepped forward confidently.
They knocked on the door of the Cui residence, and a burly middle-aged man answered, "Who are you looking for?"
Mei Gu felt that the face was unfamiliar; it was not the doorman she had seen a few days ago when she delivered the visiting card.
But thinking that it might be easier to handle things with someone else, he took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into his hand.
"Young man, I am a relative of Minister Qi of the Ministry of Rites in the capital, and I request an audience with Madam Cui..."
Before Mei Gu could even produce her visiting card, the man coldly uttered a few words, "I don't know you. You've got the wrong person."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Mei Gu stood there, holding the silver ingot, stunned.
How could this person be so rude and arrogant!
Qi Caiwei's impatient voice came from behind.
"Aunt Mei, what's going on?"
Mei Gu walked back with her head down and whispered, "Madam... that person said... said we've got the wrong person and won't let us in."
"Useless!" Qi Caiwei cursed. "Did you even submit the visiting card?"
"without!"
"Have you paid the money yet?"
"They gave it to me, but I didn't want it."
Qi Caiwei was furious. "Let's go, I'll go with you. Give the gatekeeper another five taels of silver, and I refuse to believe we can't break down this door!"
Then Qi Caiwei stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Cui residence.
"Bang bang bang..."
The door opened, and there stood the same middle-aged man.
The man, with a cold face, shouted angrily, "What are you banging on? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Qi Caiwei disregarded all etiquette, had Mei Gu hold the door open, and said to the man, "How dare you! You dog of a servant, do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude!"
After saying this, he gestured to the maid to slip him some silver.
The man glanced at the group and looked at the silver with disdain.
"I don't care who you are! I've already said that Mr. Cui doesn't receive outsiders, doesn't he? Aren't you deaf?"
"How dare you!" Qi Caiwei's face flushed red with anger.
In all her life, she had never suffered such humiliation. How dare a servant insult her!
Several maids and servants, having received her orders, held onto the door tightly and refused to let go.
Qi Caiwei raised her eyebrows, "You insolent servant, I must go in today!"
Based on her experience managing the household during this period.
No matter how high the social standing, there will always be some treacherous servants who deceive their superiors and subordinates.
The doorman must have been deliberately making things difficult for them.
