Lu Qingtang was cutting herbs when he looked up and saw Xiangmei coming.
She walked into Chaohui Hall with a pile of clothes in her arms. After looking her up and down, she walked into each room with her head held high, handed back the washed clothes to the doctors, and then sat down next to Xiaofeng and talked with her. She chatted.
She said to Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, how many herbs did you cut this morning?"
Xiaofeng stopped cutting grass, raised his head and smiled at her: "Not much, about ten or twenty kilograms."
As she spoke, she continued to lift the small guillotine and continue cutting grass.
Xiangmei next to her smiled, with a bit of sourness in her voice, "Oh, why did you do so little today? I'm afraid you were dragged down by someone. I remember that you can usually cut out thirty kilograms, right? What if? If the housekeeper finds out, I'm sure he'll scold you, what are you trying to do!"
Xiaofeng raised her head again and smiled a little awkwardly, "It's okay, these are not needed urgently."
Xiangmei pouted, "You are just honest, but some people can bully honest people just because they have someone to back them up."
Lu Qingtang could understand such an obvious attempt to sow discord.
But I still feel a little sorry.
She often does simple tasks like cutting herbs, but she has to pretend not to understand.
In order to pretend to be more respectable, she simply said that she didn't understand anything.
In order for her to learn it as quickly as possible, Xiaofeng stopped her work and taught her step by step.
She told herself clearly which medicines should be cut into long pieces, which medicines should be cut into short pieces, which medicines should be cut into slices, and which medicines should be cut into pieces.
Of course, the housekeeper told Xiaofeng all this, and Xiaofeng didn't mind. Xiangmei was really nosy enough.
Lu Qingtang put down the guillotine in his hand, looked up at Xiaofeng, and said with a smile: "Xiaofeng, have you ever heard of a dog catching a mouse? I haven't read a book and don't understand what this means. Do you know?"
The innocent Xiaofeng nodded, "Of course I've heard of it!"
She explained with a smile, "It is the cat's duty to catch mice, but the puppy jumps out to catch mice. This is not being nosy!"
She smiled and looked at Xiangmei.
Xiangmei's face was as red as a monkey's butt at this moment.
Xiaofeng quickly shut her mouth and immediately lowered her head to continue cutting the herbs.
Lu Qingtang sneered, "So this is what the dog is trying to do with the mouse. I've learned a lot."
She said to Xiangmei again: "Sister Xiangmei, do you know?"
Seeing Xiangmei's face turn from red to white, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but want to laugh, but because she couldn't hold it back anymore, she burst into laughter.
Then, she laughed and said: "It seems that you don't know. If you knew, you would never let a dog take advantage of a mouse! If you have nothing to do, you should read more and don't let the fat in your head get clogged." !”
Xiangmei stood up with a "brush" and pointed at Lu Qingtang, "Zhang Xiaohua, you bitch, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingtang quickly held her finger and with a little force, Xiangmei screamed in pain and her whole face twisted.
She quickly released her hand and looked at her innocently, "Sister Xiangmei, what's your name? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to ask Brother Daqing to treat you? Brother Daqing listens to me the most. If I ask him to come, he will definitely come."
After hearing this, Xiangmei's face twisted in pain instantly became furious.
She raised her fist and was about to hit Lu Qingtang, but Lu Qingtang showed no expression and suddenly raised his foot and kicked her in the armpit.
Xiangmei fell to the ground in response.
Due to its huge size, it made a loud "bang" sound.
Xiaofeng on the side and other servants in the yard were frightened when they saw this.
None of them expected that the skinny Lu Qingtang could beat the fat Xiangmei to a pulp.
Xiangmei has always been arrogant and often bullies newcomers because of her seniority. After being beaten by Lu Qingtang, both those who were watching and those who had complaints against her couldn't help but laugh.
Amid laughter, Lu Qingtang sat back down in his seat like a normal person and continued cutting licorice.
The guillotine made a rhythmic "click-click" sound as it cut the herbs. Lu Qingtang didn't even raise his head, but he could still feel the vicious look Xiangmei cast on him.
At this time, Xiaofeng suddenly shouted, "Be careful, Xiaohua!"
At the same time, people around him also screamed.
Lu Qingtang quickly stretched out his foot and tripped Xiangmei who was holding the machete. She bent down, grabbed Xiangmei's collar with one hand, and dragged the guillotine to her neck with the other.
A sneer rose from the corner of her mouth, and she said sternly: "Try bullying me again, you fat bitch. I'll give you face once or twice, right? If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
As she spoke, she brought the guillotine closer to her neck, but her hand was very measured.
Xiangmei's face immediately became frightened, her whole body trembled, and tears fell in large drops.
Xiaofeng on the side whispered: "Sister Xiangmei, please apologize to Xiaohua and say that you will never bully others again."
Xiangmei immediately said to Lu Qingtang in a trembling voice: "Yes...I'm sorry Xiaohua, I...I will never dare to do it again...you...please spare me..."
Lu Qingtang smiled, stretched out his other hand and patted her plump face. The slapping sound sounded very loud.
She said: "Xiangmei, it's not just me. If you bully others again in the future, I won't let you go."
Xiangmei, whose face was full of tears, nodded and curled her lips and said, "Yes, it's my fault. I will never dare to do it again."
Lu Qingtang stood up, looked at the fragrant plums at his feet, and said to her indifferently: "Then go away, don't disturb our work."
Xiangmei quickly got up from the ground, wiping her tears with her sleeves, and stumbled towards the courtyard gate.
The rest of the people lost sight of the fun and went to work on their own.
Lu Qingtang was no exception, lowering his head and still cutting licorice.
Feeling a burst of smiling eyes, she raised her head and looked at Xiaofeng beside her, who was raising her thumbs up to her.
She praised: "Xiaohua, you are so amazing, who taught you all your kung fu?"
Lu Qingtang said: "Of course it's my brother. He knows some self-defense martial arts, but it's just superficial."
Xiaofeng looked envious, "Wow, it's great to have an older brother, unlike me who only have one younger brother. My mother sold me to Yaowang Valley in exchange for money to treat my brother's illness."
She said and sighed, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's not mention these unhappy things. Let's get to work quickly. I found that you can cut herbs faster than me, as if you have done it before."
Lu Qingtang waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I just saw others doing this. How could I, a country boy, have ever come into contact with medicinal herbs?"
Xiaofeng giggled and said, "You sound like someone who is not a country boy."
The two continued to chop herbs, chatting while doing so.
At this moment, a familiar high-pitched voice was suddenly heard.
"Who is Zhang Xiaohua? Stand up for me!"
Lu Qingtang turned around and saw Shui Xingyue in a lotus pink dress standing outside the courtyard gate, pinching her waist and looking menacing.
Why is she here?
Who is Zhang Xiaohua?
She murmured in her heart, and suddenly remembered that she was Zhang Xiaohua now.
His heart tightened, and Lu Qingtang couldn't help but become nervous.
Why did Mercury come to find me?
She couldn't help but touch her face. Would she recognize this face?
He quickly turned around, thinking about how to deal with Mercury, but he didn't want to hear another shout.
"She is Zhang Xiaohua, Miss Fourth, that's her!"
Lu Qingtang turned around again, only to see Xiangmei, who was trembling on the ground just now, come back to life with full health.
She smiled flatteringly at Shui Xingyue like a dog, and pointed her finger at Lu Qingtang, "Fourth Miss, this person is Zhang Xiaohua. She has been very rampant in just a few days. Fourth Miss, you must not let her go."
Everyone around stood up and saluted Shui Xingyue, except Lu Qingtang who was stunned.
She was thinking about how to deal with Mercury, and was afraid that she would recognize her voice. She was thinking about how to hide it, and was completely lost in thinking.
Fortunately, Xiaofeng was by her side. She tugged on her sleeves and reminded her in a low voice: "Sister Xiaohua, this is Miss Fourth, the youngest daughter of the old lady. People call her the Little Medical Fairy. In fact, she has no medical skills at all. .”
Lu Qingtang shook his head and whispered "Thank you" to her. Then he stepped forward and blessed Mercury, and deliberately said to her in a rough voice: "I have met the Fourth Miss. I am Zhang Xiaohua."
Mercury pursed her lips and looked Lu Qingtang up and down.
She looked around her and said with a dissatisfied look on her face: "I heard that you are not willing to be my mother's personal maid?"
Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment.
She had no idea that Mercury came here for this matter.
Don't you want people to make mistakes now?
What a mad lady!
However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and she had to obey the eldest lady, otherwise she would be kicked out of Yaowang Valley, and it would be difficult to come in again.
She smiled and said to Shui Xingyue: "To answer the Fourth Miss, I don't think I'm suitable to be a personal maid. I'm a careless person and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the elderly."
Shui Xingyue looked disdainful, "Excuse! I think you are just arrogant!"
Xiangmei on the side quickly helped, "Miss Fourth, you are right. She is so arrogant. She has only been in our Yaowang Valley for a few days and she already considers herself the master of this place. A girl from the countryside dares to refuse the old lady." I think such a person cannot stay in Yaowang Valley!"
Shui Xingyue narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "What did you say? Your Yaowang Valley? When did Yaowang Valley become your family!"
Xiangmei was so frightened that she immediately shrank her neck and explained to her: "No, no, it's the villain who said the wrong thing. Fourth Miss, please don't take it to heart, just treat it like the villain farts!"
As soon as these words came out, there was faint laughter from all around.
This Xiangmei is really stupid, her head is stuffed with donkey hair, she can't even flatter her, she is so drunk.
Let’s see how she takes pictures.
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes at Xiangmei and said to Shui Xingyue: "It's not the villain's excuse. It's just that the villain thinks that instead of being the old lady's personal maid, it's better to learn more medical skills in Yaowang Valley so as to help the world and save people."
Shui Xingyue narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "Do you really think so?"
There was a coldness in her eyes, a look of disdain, which made people feel a little bit hairy.
