Chapter 394: The Great Artist Duke and His Kind Dumb
Concubine After withstanding the test, the next morning, Jian Ruonan did not sleep and took Sister Teng to the courtyard of the wife of the Duke of Zhuguo to guard.
The Duke of Zhuguo's mansion is much larger than the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion, and the relationships between the various rooms are more complicated.
Yuan Fanfan's mother is the daughter of Princess Pingle, the Princess of Anning County. The Princess of Anning married the eldest son of the Duke of Zhuguo, which is also considered a good match.
When the previous emperor was in power, the old Duke of Zhuguo was deeply loved by the previous emperor and was also considered prominent for a time. But the prince supported by the old Duke of Zhuguo was not Emperor Deyuan. After Emperor Deyuan ascended the throne, the Duke of Zhuguo's mansion was neglected. The
current Duke of Zhuguo's mansion can only be regarded as a second-rate noble. Although he is not favored by the emperor, a skinny camel is stronger than a horse. His foundation is there, and he looks like a bunch of flowers on the surface.
Yuan Fanfan led him directly to her mother's yard and asked the Duke's wife to help train him.
In the early morning, Jian Ruonan's biological clock was messed up, and she yawned several times in a row.
[Why do we have to pay respects to the mistress in the early morning? Can't we do it in the early morning? Huh? ]
[Sing a song to refresh yourself! ]
[Dinosaurs fight wolves, fight wolves, fight wolves, fight wolves, fight wolves, fight wolves, fight wolves - I didn't K, I didn't K, I couldn't biu -]
According to regulations, the Duke must rest in the Duke's wife's yard on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, but last night, that shameless person kidnapped the Duke halfway.
The Duke's wife was brewing a vicious plan in her mind, and suddenly, a cheerful dinosaur vs. wolf sounded in her mind.
The Duke's wife: "..."
What the hell? ? ! !
With such a joyful soundtrack, how can I trick the concubines? ! !
After looking around and finding the source of the sound, the Duke's wife: "Beep, beep, beep--" (save for surprise)
Daughter, what kind of maid did you bring to me? !
Forget it, just a little maid. The concubines came one after another, and the Duke's wife was not very careful, so she hurriedly ordered people to organize the concubines to line up at the door.
The concubines had to pay their respects to the Duke's wife every day, and wait in the corridor when they came. The Duke's wife would let the concubines in when she was in a good mood.
Fortunately, it was three quarters past noon and it was not very hot, so it was okay to stand for a while.
Jian Ruonan stood for a while and suddenly felt something was wrong.
[Hey, being a maid is not a human job! ]
[Standing all day without moving, so tiring! ! ! ]
[Hurry up and poison them, poison them all to death so I can go home! ! ! ]
Teng Ge'er: "..."
It's terrible, I knew that the fifth sister would be in a bad mood to work overtime after getting up so early. If she gave up halfway, she wouldn't be able to eat the melon today.
Teng Ge'er looked at Yuan Fanfan, his eyes hinting wildly, Sister Yuan, think of a way quickly!
Yuan Fanfan pointed at Jian Ruonan: "Come here and sit here."
Jian Ruonan hurried over and sat down on the embroidery stool next to Yuan Fanfan.
After seeing her sitting down, Yuan Fanfan handed over a bowl of bird's nest porridge and raised her eyebrows, as if to say:
Big greedy girl, eat quickly! Her mouth was watering!
The Duke's wife frowned: "Fanfan, what do you mean?"
Why give a maid a seat and put her on the table?
Yuan Fanfan whispered to the Duke's wife: "Mother, this is the maid I found to test poisons."
"Maybe she will die someday, let her feel comfortable first."
As she said that, she put a little bit of each dish into Jian Ruonan's bowl.
The Duke's wife: "Fanfan, you are so kind."
[The vicious female supporting role has a very good brain circuit. She is going to poison me to death, and she is still kind? If she were kind, I would not be here today! Hehehe——]
Yuan Fanfan: "..."
The Duke's wife was about to get angry, but Jian Ruonan buried her head in her food.
[Wow, the chefs in the Duke's Mansion are pretty good. This is delicious, that is delicious, muamuamua——]
The Duke's wife: "......"
Forget it, my daughter said in advance that this greedy girl is not ordinary, let her go.
"Go, call everyone in."
If they are not called in, the new personal maid will almost finish the meal.
At a command from Nanny De, the concubines outside the door filed in. Jian Ruonan looked up and saw that there were eight of them.
[So many concubines? Can the Duke handle it? 】
After everyone arrived, the little maid reported: "Aunt Yi is not feeling well and will be here later."
Jian Ruonan immediately said: "Oh, what's wrong with being unwell? It's just that she served the Duke last night!"
"All the concubines here, who hasn't served the Duke before? Who is as pretentious as her!"
The Duke's wife looked at Jian Ruonan with admiration.
Not bad, she has a promising future, which immediately attracted a lot of hatred for Aunt Yi.
Aunt De:? ? ! !
Hey, isn't this my word?
This maid has a promising future, no wonder she can eat at the table on the first day she came to the Duke's wife's yard.
The Duke's wife randomly ordered two concubines to help with the serving of dishes, and the rest stood aside with plates, watching the Duke's wife eat.
After a while, Aunt Yi, who had served the Duke last night, came.
Concubine Yi is dumb, and she used sign language to greet the Duke's wife.
[Oh my, so stylish, a dumb concubine.]
Concubine Yi:? ? Ahhhh——
Jian Ruonan took a closer look and realized that among the nine concubines, each one had a small problem, either cross-eyed, lame, with six fingers, or one eye...
None of the nine concubines were normal.
[Does the Duke have any special hobbies?]
Yuan Fanfan also wanted to know this question, the Duke's wife also wanted to know, and the concubines present also wanted to know.
【Oh my, so that's how it is - I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the Duke is also a great artist. The Duke said that imperfection is the most beautiful! So all his concubines must have some flaws. 】
【The Duke is still an ancient version of Steve Jobs! 】
【It's right to get up early this time. I'm here to see the great artist, the Duke, and his imperfect concubines. 】
The Duke's wife: "..."
After paying her respects, Aunt Yi made a gesture and stood up on her own.
Aunt De: "How dare you, you got up without the lady telling you to?!"
Aunt Yi made a gesture to Aunt De, sat down at the table, picked up the bowl and started eating.
Jian Ruonan didn't know sign language, but she roughly understood that Aunt Yi's gesture just now should be to tell Aunt De that she couldn't hear.
I am deaf and dumb, but I have hands and feet. I can get whatever I want. The wife of the Duke can't even fight at home!
[It turns out that there are masters among the people! ! ]
[Why didn't I think of pretending to be deaf and dumb at the beginning? ! ! ]
[This can filter out a lot of idiots! ! ! ]
The wife of the Duke: "..."
Who are you talking about? ! ! Huh? !
Yuan Fanfan grabbed the wife of the Duke and whispered: "Mother, that is a friendly army, let's deal with the one in front of us first!"
Although Yi Yi Niang can't speak, she is eloquent and eats fast and a lot. She ate a lot in no time.
After dinner, she didn't need a maid to serve her. She poured tea and rinsed her mouth.
The main theme of the whole process is that I can't hear and I can't speak, and you can't understand my gestures.
Everyone, just show your appreciation.
[Now it's my turn as a personal maid! ]
