"Oh, who was I thinking in the Buddhist temple? Turns out to be a servant girl! Quick! Wipe my shoes!" Qian Fangchun showed the shoes he was wearing.
There was nothing dirty on it, but Qian Fangchun stared at He Guyu arrogantly.
He Guyu took the duster and prepared to dust her shoes, "No!"
Yan'er immediately spoke out to stop him.
He Guyu immediately asked, "Why is this?"
Yan'er immediately said sarcastically, "This duster is for dusting. How can it be used to dust our girls' shoes?"
He Guyu immediately bowed awkwardly and said, "Miss Qian, how can this be done?"
"Use your sleeve to wipe the dust off my shoes!" Qian Fangchun immediately stared at He Guyu with a very contemptuous look.
When He Guyu heard that she was actually asked to use her sleeves to polish her shoes, she was shocked. This dress was the New Year dress her mother had made for her last month.
He Guyu, enduring the frustration of being bullied, moved closer to Qian Fangchun step by step.
She now wished time could stop at the last moment, when she was in the quiet time of dusting.
At that moment, He Guyu felt that her dignity was insulted, but there was no one else around, and she was a servant, so there was no reason for her not to listen to Qian Fangchun.
He Guyu's tears fell like beads: "I will wipe the dust off Miss Qian's shoes right away."
"Qian Fangchun! What are you doing here?" A man's voice sounded behind them.
"Third brother, why did you come out?" Qian Fangchun immediately retracted his foot, then pushed He Guyu and said, "This annoying maid just stepped on my shoe, and I was just scolding her!"
Qian Fangchun immediately made up a lie.
He Guyu was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She could never have imagined that when she was in trouble, the first person to save her was the Third Young Master Ning Zike.
After Ning Zike stepped into the Buddhist hall, he glanced at He Guyu and then at Qian Fangchun: "You'd better not let me find out that you are punishing servants indiscriminately, otherwise I will make you kneel in the Buddhist hall!"
Ning Zike's words were meant for Qian Fangchun to hear. Qian Fangchun immediately took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Third Brother!"
Qian Fangchun also guessed that He Guyu would not dare to reveal the fact that she had deliberately made things difficult for her.
Then I saw Ning Zike lighting a stick of incense in the Buddhist temple. Maybe because he had been recovering from internal injuries during this period, he looked a little pale.
He Guyu immediately went to light the incense and gave it to Ning Zike and Qian Fangchun. She was the maid who lit the incense. If she couldn't do her job well, she might have to go back to the farm to do the rough work.
When He Gulai heard that his sister had actually entered the Ning residence to work, he was immediately very happy. He walked around the gate twice, but did not see his sister come out.
He Gulai envied his sister for being able to work in Ning's house, but at the same time he was worried that his sister would be like the maid in Xiliu Manor, who walked in to work but was carried out sideways after a few days.
He Gulai rubbed his hands together a few times, but he felt very conflicted.
At this time, Qian Fangchun came out with Yan'er and Xin Tao.
"Yan'er, the maid just now was quite sensible. She actually admitted that she stepped on my shoes." Qian Fangchun's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for He Gulai to hear.
"This is the first time Yan'er has seen such a cowardly maid!"
"What's her name?" Qian Fangchun asked.
"Her name is He Guyu, and she's a stupid maid who just started working at the Ning residence today!" Yan'er and Qian Fangchun arrogantly got on the carriage. They were going to go to the streets to visit Kyoto.
He Gulai immediately felt sorry for his sister, and immediately went to the side door and said he wanted to see He Guyu.
The man went to the Buddhist temple through the side door to inform He Guyu, and He Guyu came out to meet his brother.
"Brother, why are you here?" He Guyu immediately bowed.
"Sister, did Qian Fangchun bully you?" He Gulai immediately stared at his sister deeply.
"No~Nothing, just a little misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? A misunderstanding would make you admit that you stepped on her shoes?"
"As a servant, can I still argue with Miss Qian, the master's wife?" He Guyu's words made He Guyai's face stunned.
"Yes! Then you take care of yourself! I'll go back and tell my parents and my grandfather that you finally got your wish and moved into the Ning residence!
But sister, besides doing your job well, don't think too much about anything else, especially don't ask too much about the Third Young Master's affairs!"
He Guyu's little thoughts were clearly known to He Gulai.
"Brother, don't mention this to anyone!" He Guyu blushed immediately.
"Of course I won't say anything more. You just have to do your job well. That way, I can get some good medicine for my illness, right?"
"Okay, I will send the monthly allowance back home." He Guyu spoke a few words to He Gulai by the door, and then the brother and sister parted ways.
When He Guyu returned to the Buddhist temple from the side door, Ning Xiaotang, Liu Lanqing, and his aunt and second aunt were already waiting there.
"He Guyu greets all the masters. Please wait for a moment." He Guyu immediately opened the fire stick at the incense-lighting place, lit the incense, and distributed it to everyone.
Hai Moying immediately took the incense and said unhappily, "What are you doing here, a maid lighting incense, instead of doing your job properly in the temple?"
He Guyu immediately knelt down and said, "I'm guilty, please punish me, Madam!"
"Punishment? Just go and clean the toilet for three days!" He Guyu's face tightened, but when he was about to agree.
Ning Xiaotang immediately said: "Second Aunt, you just arrived at the Buddhist temple. People who don't know you might think you have been waiting for a long time?
You're punishing the servant right away, without even noticing that she's the only one in the temple. People inevitably have urgent needs, and even if they just have to wait a little while, there's no need to punish them by having them clean the toilet, right?"
He Guyu immediately panicked: "I will volunteer to clean the toilet for three days, please calm down, Madam!"
"He Guyu, I'm willing to let you work as an incense lighter in the Buddhist temple because I saw a few small burn scars on the back of your hands. Naturally, you are also good at cooking at home. The kitchen staff is sufficient, but the Buddhist temple is short of someone to light incense.
You were made to clean the toilet by your aunt? Do you think this is respectful to the Buddha?"
Ning Xiaotang's voice was slightly angry. Liu Guyu immediately understood her mistake and kowtowed three times. "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, young lady!"
"There's no need for punishment, but from now on, besides lighting incense, you must also keep the area around the temple clean."
"Yes, I will definitely complete the task!" He Guyu's forehead immediately swelled up a little and blushed.
