Chapter 179 Dinner Partner
silence.
Deathly silence.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't get the answer she wanted.
She looked a little lost and had a pout on her lips.
Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
The six little maids all looked about the same age, even their statures were similar. It was obvious that they had been carefully trained and came from wealthy families.
How could I care about that little bit of appetite?
However, she was slapped in the face soon after.
Haitang brought in a bowl of white porridge and a plate of steamed buns and mutton patties, still steaming hot.
I could smell the fragrance from afar.
Jiang Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she looked at the meat bun with a smile.
Picked up one.
When you break it open, it's greasy.
Suddenly the fragrance filled the air...
It has the aroma of meat and the unique aroma of mushrooms.
This is a mushroom bun made according to her method. You can’t eat it anywhere else except Yipinju.
The breakfast shop in Yipinju was packed.
She walked in front of several maids, smacking the buns in her hand and eating with gusto.
The little mouths are full of greasy food.
Mu Qianxue was already tempted by this, and she just thought that the little girl was having trouble making a decision, so she just let her watch slowly.
Mu Qianxue sat at the table by herself, taking a mouthful of white porridge and a bite of mushroom bun...
She always eats light food, but these mushroom buns and mutton pie with dogwood are quite to her taste.
I ate more in one go.
Xiuxiu dragged a stool and sat down, accompanying Jiang Miaomiao to choose slowly. It was the same no matter how they chose.
The maids were dressed alike and were about the same size. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but even their looks and temperament were almost the same.
She couldn't choose anyway.
As a result, I saw the little guy holding the meat bun, approaching people and asking them one by one.
"Want some buns? They smell delicious..."
The others were unmoved.
Only the round-faced maid at the end, although she didn't look up, still sniffed and swallowed.
"She...that's her..." Jiang Miaomiao's face lit up as she pointed at the little maid and looked at Mu Qianxue, "Aunt, I've made my choice."
The little maid looked at the baby in surprise.
The green onion flowers on my head are shaking...
The shaking made her dizzy.
Oh my god! Why did they choose her?
Let her take care of the baby?
She won’t…
I haven’t learned it either!
Then a bun was stuffed into her hand.
It was warm and steaming, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
The little kid looked up at her with a smile and asked in a soft voice, "Sister, what's your name?"
"Your servant Xi'er."
Xiao Miaomiao pointed at the bun in her hand and said, "Eat it, it's very fragrant, with mushrooms in the filling."
Xier held the bun tightly in her hand, not daring to eat it.
There is no reason to dine with the master.
"It's a reward from the young master, so just eat it. From now on, you will follow Miaomiao, take good care of her, protect her, and be loyal to her."
"Yes, I understand." After hearing Mu Qianxue's voice, the little maid put the bun into her mouth.
Took a bite.
Wow, it’s delicious and smells so good!
Did you add mushrooms?
I have never eaten buns that taste like this, so delicious...
It was her first time eating with her master.
In the past, they had to wait until their master had finished eating before they could take turns eating. Even if it was a reward from the master's leftovers, they could not eat in front of him.
I have to wait until the next shift to go back and eat.
The girls in their family were considered good and were often rewarded, but the maids in other families might not even have breakfast.
The young master has acknowledged the Duke as her adoptive father, so she is now the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. As long as she is in the Duke's Mansion, she will serve as a maid for the daughter, and it doesn't matter who she serves as a maid.
She had no complaints, but rather some anticipation.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Mu Qianxue felt relieved.
The maids around her were all chosen by her grandmother when she was alive. One of them made a mistake and was beaten to death by her grandmother.
Later, her elder sister sent Xier to help her cheer up.
Although she was just there to make up the numbers, Xier was the best in martial arts among them, and she was honest and loyal, and the most obedient one.
Although I gave it to Miaomiao with great reluctance, I felt relieved.
It’s hard to describe Xiuxiu in words.
This was like finding a dining partner for Miaomiao. The two of them got together and finished a plate of meat buns in no time.
It is said that a maid's temperament is often like that of her master.
How come Miss Mu San has such a maid by her side?
Jiang Miaomiao finished eating the buns and stretched out her greasy little mouth and hands to Xiuxiu, "Auntie, wipe it..."
Before Xiuxiu could even take out her handkerchief, Xier brought over the one she had prepared long ago, "Miss, let me wipe it for you."
Look at the little maidservant, she is very skillful and cleans very carefully.
Xiuxiu felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, apart from being a little greedy, there is nothing wrong with him.
Very perceptive.
Then he exchanged a few more moves with Xier before nodding with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. Thank you, Third Miss!"
At lunch time.
There are only Aunt Xiuxiu, Auntie, Sister Qiaoer and my older and younger brothers.
Jiang Miaomiao asked, "Where are Mom and Dad?"
Daddy?
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that their little one also had a father. She smiled and said, "Sister has taken Lord Yan and his wife to the horse farm. As for the Duke, he must have gone to investigate a case."
Although Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan couldn't call him daddy, they were very happy that their sister had a father who loved her...
Especially Jiang Zifeng, the way he looked at Mu Yunji was closer than his own father, and he pestered him to teach him boxing before dawn.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded obediently.
He looks very sensible.
She understood! Her aunt, uncle, and father had come all the way here just to overturn her grandfather's verdict.
The silver was found, and the place where the silver was hidden was found, but how to catch the person red-handed was a big problem.
Mother still has a lot of things to do...
Little Miaomiao slid down the stool and came to Xiuxiu, "Auntie, go help mommy. Miaomiao and her brothers will stay home well."
Xiuxiu pinched her little face. Is she so well-behaved?
Why is she a little unconvinced?
He glanced at the two brothers opposite him and said, "Feng'er Yan'er, can you take a half-day break? Can you take care of your sister?"
"Sure, go ahead and don't worry, Auntie." Jiang Zifeng patted his chest and promised.
Jiang Ziyan nodded in agreement.
Aunt Xiuxiu is wasting her talent taking care of the kids at home. She'd better go help Mom. We have to catch the person who stole the military pay as soon as possible.
I guess they need to rest for two or three days, and it’s no problem to take care of my sister during these days.
The teacher craved some coolness yesterday and ate some fruit yogurt my sister gave her. Halfway through the class, she clutched her stomach and left, leaving a message: "I'm taking a day off today..."
This made Princess Liang and the young princess very anxious.
They were fine after eating the ice cream, but it seemed that the teacher was too old and his stomach couldn't handle it.
Mu Qianxue didn't understand why Xiuxiu was so worried.
She thought the little girl was very well-behaved.
At least he is much more obedient than her older nephew. He can dress and eat by himself, and he eats very politely without getting any food on his clothes.
He has a set schedule for eating. He always has a bowl of soup before eating, and he also eats a combination of meat and vegetables. He is not picky about food.
It eats everything and is easy to raise.
There are also many kinds of snacks in the small cloth bag, such as preserved fruits, melon seeds, walnuts...
His little mouth is always chattering and he is never idle.
So cute.
She immediately agreed, "Sister Xiu, I'm here, don't worry, I'll send a few more maids to watch over you."
Xiuxiu thought about it and realized that it was impossible for so many people to not be able to keep an eye on a little kid.
I went out with peace of mind.
Take a nap in the afternoon.
Jiang Miaomiao fell asleep, and Xier was guarding her by the bed.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, everyone went back to do their own things with peace of mind.
Mu Qianxue went back to the house to look at the candied haws that King Jing had given her. She wondered if there was a letter hidden underneath.
Jiang Ziyan went back to his room to read. He sat by the window, drinking tea and reading. From time to time, he looked up at his elder brother who was practicing sword in the yard, and his sister's bedroom.
This window has a great view, and you can see everything in the courtyard at a glance...
