Chapter 57 A maid who doesn't work is not a good maid
Yunzhe was flattered and dodged, "No, no, Wuyue left you an elbow last night and just put it in your room. Go and eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Sniff...
Ah Man took a deep breath and resisted the urge to walk: "Miss, do you want to take a bath? I am strong enough to carry two buckets at a time, which will be faster."
Yun Zha smiled at her and said, "Fetching water is a piece of cake. I can do it. Go and have some. In addition to pork elbows, there are also several new pastries that the chef has made. I know you like them, so I brought some extra."
Ah Man just felt that his mouth was flooded with saliva.
"Then I'll go."
"Well, go ahead."
Looking at Ah Man's back as he trotted away, Yun Zha breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl is so active, but they really don't dare to ask her to work. Just thinking about Ah Man using her hands that served the prince to do these rough work, Yun Zhai's little heart couldn't help but tremble.
Fortunately, she likes to eat, and she can always be tempted by delicious food. For this reason, she and Wu Yue would not hesitate to pay for her food out of their own pockets, but her meager monthly salary was pitiful.
On the tenth day, a head suddenly popped out of the study window: "Third Miss..."
Lu Xiang was so scared that the pen in his hand fell. When he looked up, he saw Ah Man's aggrieved face. The breeze was warm, the branches were swaying, the warm sunlight was shining through the gaps between the leaves, the blue sky was blue, and the clouds were white. Everything seemed so vibrant.
The breeze blew the hair around Ah Man's ears, and her black gemstone-like eyes were inlaid with golden light, and were now filled with distress and confusion.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiang asked with a smile.
Ah Man supported her chin with both hands, blinked her eyes and asked Lu Xiang: "Does the Third Miss hate me?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Yunzha and Wuyue are unwilling to ask me to work." How can a maid who can't work be a good maid? Ah Man felt that her value could not be well reflected.
Lu Xiang: “…”
Could she say that she didn't dare to trouble her?
But Ah Man's serious and innocent expression did not show any provocation or questioning. She really just wanted to express that she really wanted to work.
"I don't hate it." Lu Xiang stared at Ah Man's face, letting her clearly see the sincerity in his eyes: "Otherwise we wouldn't have thought of ways to bring you delicious food."
This girl is definitely a freak next to Chu Jinyan. She is so honest that people can't help but like her.
If Chu Jinyan sent her a smart and clever one, Lu Xiang might not like it.
Ah Man tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded in self-affirmation.
That makes sense. She is obviously well-behaved and likable, and only those short-sighted men around His Highness would always dislike her.
Thinking of this, Ah Man instantly became happy, with a brilliant smile as dazzling as the sun in midsummer: "But I still want to work."
Lu Xiang was infected by her smile, and her mood couldn't help but improve. She smiled and waved to Ah Man: "Come in."
With a whoosh, Ah Man's head disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then her voice was heard from outside the door: "I am here, what do you want, young lady?"
"I originally wanted you to take some time off to get familiar with the Lu Mansion. Since you are so eager to work, do something for me." Lu Xiang's eyes were like the bright moon under the night sky, clear and beautiful. She took out a painting from the painting tube beside her and handed it to Ah Man: "Find this person for me."
Ah Man is good at martial arts, and is better than Yun Zhe and Wu Yue in looking for people. Moreover, as someone trained by Chu Jinyan, no matter how naive and honest she is, she always has her own abilities.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task as soon as possible."
Lu Xiang: "Don't worry, take your time to look for him. This man is called Shen Zhiyi, and he lives in poverty. Look for him in dirty and messy places first." He was a young marquis who was lost outside the Wu'an Marquisate when he was young. The village where he was adopted was hit by a flood, and his adoptive parents' life and death were unknown. He fled to Yangning City. In his previous life, he was accidentally picked up by Xiao Muheng and put in his own shop as a child. After going to the capital, he was found by the Shen family.
Xiao Muheng didn't take much care of him, but Shen Zhiyi was grateful to him for giving him a safe place to live. Even though they didn't have a deep relationship, Xiao Muheng still gained a lot of benefits.
There is only one heir in the Wu'an Marquisate, and Shen Zhiyi is the natural heir to the title of Marquis, and will be a famous general in the future.
Lu Xiang certainly couldn't let go of such a young man with great potential, and he certainly couldn't let Xiao Muheng take advantage of him.
Without Shen Zhiyi's kindness in return, I'll lose a great help. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
Ah Man took the painting and left the house immediately. The young lady said there was no rush, but how could she be lazy since it was her first time doing something for the young lady? She had to be proactive.
There is a constant stream of people on the street, the brilliant sunshine shines between the green tiles and red walls, the shops on both sides of the street have tall flags on their signs, cars and horses are coming and going, and the peaceful and comfortable smiling faces fully demonstrate the people's happy life.
The freshly-made pastries exuded an enticing aroma and attracted long queues.
Ah Man stood behind the crowd, swallowing his saliva, unable to move forward.
Well, she'll just stand here and smell it for a little while.
Sheng Xian was fanning himself leisurely when he suddenly saw Ah Man in the crowd and the scroll of painting this fool was carrying on his back.
He strode over, put away his fan and tapped her forehead gently: "Ah Man, what a coincidence."
Ah Man covered her head and turned around. Seeing Sheng Xian's handsome face, she rolled her eyes in disdain and said, "I don't want to play tricks on you."
"Hey, girl, how come you've become so bad-tempered after being away for a few days?"
Ah Man glared at Sheng Xian: "If you can't speak, just shut up." He was as annoying as ever.
"Don't be angry, I'm just about to go find you."
"If you have to fart, do it now."
"Ah Man, you are a girl after all. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married if you speak so rudely?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, okay, I say, the Third Miss has done what she asked Your Highness to do. Here is the deed, take it." Sheng Xian said, taking out the deed from his arms and handing it to Ah Man. After Ah Man put it away, he asked again: "Do you know what the Third Miss is going to do with the mountain?"
Ah Man's dark eyes rolled around, and she raised her head towards the pastry shop in front of her: "Buy me something delicious."
Sheng Xian's mouth twitched: "Wait." Then he squeezed into the crowd.
Ah Man chuckled and calmly found a cool place to sit.
Soon, Sheng Xian squeezed out from the crowd. His neatly combed hair was now messy, and his handsome appearance looked a little disheveled.
"Here, I bought it from someone else at ten times the price. Tell me."
Ah Man smelled the fragrance with satisfaction, took out a piece and took a bite impatiently, then said, "Oh, I don't know."
