Chapter 432: Each one depends on his ability
Nanny Xu said that the four of them were palace maids, and if one of them made a mistake, all of them would be punished.
This is the method used in the palace to manage maids. There is no need to reason with them, as people will naturally restrain each other, and it is also the most effective method.
As expected, Tang Qingluan, who had been so strong just now, turned pale: "Who wants to go back to Rongguo Mansion?"
She didn't dare go back to Rongguo Mansion, and was unwilling to go to the imperial mausoleum to live a hard life farming and feeding chickens.
The commotion here did not affect Wan Youyou. She was still fiddling with the bobbins, watching them spin and twist out woolen thread.
The plumb bobs stopped and fiddled with them from time to time, while he recalled the books he had read in the library in the mansion, and wondered how to make the two plumb bobs rotate at the same time.
She knew from a young age that she was different from the other sisters in the mansion because her mother was the daughter of a guard. Not only did her father ignore her mother, but even the maids spoke coldly to her. Her daily life of food, clothing, housing and transportation was the worst.
Knowing that her grandfather liked the children in the family to study, she never went out and read hard every day. Finally, she became a talented woman who could speak eloquently and became the most favored woman in the family. She was taken by her grandfather to banquets to show off.
For her sake, the servants in the house dared not disrespect her anymore, and her mother finally lived a life without worries about food and clothing.
In fact, she really doesn't like being in the spotlight and just wants to stay quietly in the garden and watch the flowers bloom and fall.
Just when her grandfather wanted to choose a husband for her from among the royal family and noble families, his house was raided.
Her clansmen were exiled and her mother committed suicide. Because of her prominent reputation, she was naturally chosen as a palace maid. She left the capital without hesitation and came to the Dilu.
Others on the road are afraid to eat milk tablets, but she dares to eat them. After having diarrhea twice and taking the medicine given by Abu, Wan Youyou is fine. Now she drinks milk tea and eats dried meat every day.
When she arrived at the tribe, she took off her cotton robe and put on a half-worn sheepskin robe given by the nanny, just to keep warm.
As for the ridicule from Tang Qingluan and others, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Just as Aunt Xu said, she has fallen into the mud, and instead of thinking about how to live a good life, she is still thinking about her identity as a rich lady and a noble lady. This is just seeking death.
The small quarrel here was over in a flash, and the three of them turned their gazes back to Wan Youyou, feeling somewhat indignant again.
We worked so hard to comb the wool, why should that lowly maid just sit there and stare blankly?
Tang Qingluan's eyes flashed, and she stood up and said to the maid sitting in another group, "Xiao Xia, take these combed wools to Miss Wan!"
A maid named Xiaoxia put down the wool in her hands and walked over to Tang Qingluan, puzzled, "Miss Tang, Aunt Xu said that if you don't comb enough wool for a box, you can't eat. Why did you give it to Miss Wan?"
Tang Qingluan snorted coldly and glanced at Wan Youyou: "Madam Xu said that we should all work together. Miss Wan hasn't even combed a box of wool yet. I'm afraid she can't even eat.
It doesn't matter if she goes hungry, but there's a wild man who cares about her and will send medicine over soon, so why bother us..."
Before she finished speaking, Wan Youyou suddenly stood up and looked at her indifferently with a pair of slightly narrow eyes.
Tang Qingluan thought Wan Youyou was going to be embarrassed and angry, so she quickly took a step back, grabbed Xiaoxia in front of her, and said to Wan Youyou, "What do you want to do? I didn't say anything wrong!"
Wan Youyou acted as if he didn't see her and just said lightly, "Idiot!" Then he walked out of the tent with two plumb bobbins.
Suddenly, tiny bursts of laughter were heard in the tent, all mocking Tang Qingluan for trying to provoke others, but being looked down upon.
Tang Qingluan's face suddenly turned red. She threw the wool she had combed to the ground and ran out the door.
Today I must teach that lowly maidservant what respect and etiquette are.
But as soon as she walked out of the tent, she stood still, with a changing expression on her face.
Not far away, Wan Youyou was walking towards the spinning tent, and coming towards her was a group of knights.
The knights stopped in front of Wan Youyou...
Tang Qingluan called out to the people behind her, "Come and see! Wan Youyou, that bitch, has stopped the young master and the others!"
Before she finished speaking, the ladies who were still posing elegantly in the tent rushed over and saw a scene that made their eyes blaze with fire.
Among the knights over there, the leader Zhao Tingduo listened to Wan Youyou say a few words and followed her into the tent next to them.
Tang Qingluan pinched her neck, as if she couldn't breathe, and said in a hoarse voice: "How dare she... How dare she flirt with a man in public?"
Jiang Wanru pinched her fingers hard: "Bitch..."
She wanted to curse like Tang Qingluan, but her family rules were very strict and they didn't like swearing, so she couldn't say anything else except this sentence.
Cao Jing's cold face was also filled with shock and dismay: "Madame Xu doesn't care?"
The three of them seemed to have thought of something, looked at each other, then quickly looked away with their eyes flashing, obviously being wary of each other.
They are all legitimate daughters of the family. Even if they were ignorant before, they have matured after this disaster. Some things cannot be said openly.
The four have been rivals since the beginning.
At that time in the palace, the Queen Mother said some words. On the surface, she wanted herself and others to serve the young lady here, but her words implicitly meant that they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the tribe.
For a woman, the easiest way to gain a foothold is to get married and have children.
There is only one young man with the highest status in the tribe.
They had already seen Zhao Tingduo's appearance. In the capital, she was the object of pursuit by all the women. It would be a lie to say that they were not tempted.
But after the newlyweds had their tea ceremony, Aunt Xu called the four of them aside and gave them a stern lecture.
They said that they were given by the Queen Mother and were not allowed to do anything disrespectful to bring shame to the Wu Dynasty. Even if they had feelings for the young master, they had to inform her first and were not allowed to act on their own.
Tang Qingluan and others were born into noble families. Although they had fallen from the top to the bottom of the valley, their pride remained.
They are all young girls, so if they are asked to take the initiative to seduce a man, they will still be somewhat reluctant to lower their standards.
Moreover, they are competing with each other, and no one wants to lose their dignity.
But the situation is different now. Wan Youyou has already spoken to Zhao Tingduo before anyone else.
Pooh!
The bitch born from a bitch is so shameless!
The three men could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and were unable to throw themselves into the woman's arms, but what noble ladies are best at is coincidental encounters.
Just like how concubines in the palace were most likely to encounter the emperor in the imperial garden, and then show panic, it would naturally arouse men's pity and curiosity...
Several people began to think about how to "encounter" by chance.
It's a good idea, but difficult to implement.
The Kara Valley is not small, with a radius of ten miles. The tribe’s tents are scattered in the valley, and there is nothing between them, so you can see everything at a glance.
This kind of terrain is not like the Wu Dynasty courtyards and houses with corridors, rockery and flowers and trees, which can be encountered inadvertently while walking.
If they wanted to walk towards the white tent where Zhao Tingduo lived, they not only had to pass through the herds of sheep and cattle, but even the sheepdogs running freely in the valley would bark at them.
Unless like Wan Youyou did today, he directly blocked the cavalry.
