The one that Lady Wang picked who had a birthmark on the face was called Cheng Ruhua. And the man Ling Chenglong picked was called Zheng Da. And the ones Ling Jinghan and Ling Jingpeng picked were called Su Jian and Li An. After sending the kids to school the next morning, Ling Jingxuan asked Zheng Da and Zhou Er to go into the mountain to pick wild fruit with Yan Shengrui and others. Old Zhou was aged, so Ling Jingxuan asked him to clean the barns and acted as doorkeeper by the way. And Li An, Su Jian, Lady Zhang, Lady Wu and Chen Ruhua went to the factory to wash the wild fruit. Liu XIaosui and Ling Yun worked as sister-in-law Song’s assistants. As for the kids, they had already gone to school with the little buns.
“Do we wash it like this, madam? Why get rid of the cores?”
“Li An, this is wrong. You have to wash them one by one. You can just throw them all in the water and wash so randomly…”
“Yes, ma'am.”
“Su Jian, didn’t I tell you to wash them one by one? Like this...”
When doing things, some people's nature was totally exposed. After a whole afternoon’s acquaintance yesterday, and seeing that the whole family was so easy-going, so good-tempered, Li An and Su Jian started to loaf on their job. When cleaning those wild fruit, they kept having situations. However Lady Wang patiently taught them, they only nodded to agree, but the next second they already cast her words behind, and still threw a bunch of wild grapes in the water and stir it randomly and done. Beside their feet, it was piled a stack of grape skin. One should know Lady Wang was a village woman, so even they got servants and maids at home serving them now, she had never ordered them to do this and that. Now seeing such a situation, she also didn’t know what to do, but could only keep correcting them again and again.
As for those women, Chen Ruhua pricked her ears to hear while burying her head to do something, who neither helped nor added oil to the fire, Lady Zhang and Lady Wu would occasionally help Lady Wang say something. But they were all maids, they didn’t listen to them at all, those two men even threw a hard stare at them, and they no longer dared to help.
“Look, I will teach you again, like this, pick it one by one and squeeze out its core lightly. After cleaning them in the big sink, you should wash them with the water in the small basin, and finally put them in the basket. We are making food. What if the guests get ill after eating some dirty food?”
Lady Wang was not a fool, she knew that it was quite possible he had met two tricky servants. But except teaching them patiently, she had no idea what to do. And now, sister-in-law Song and Shuiling were cleaning the yards, and Jingxuan was busy next door, she couldn’t find anyone for help.
“I'm sorry, ma'am, but we're men and we just can't do this kind of fine work. How about you teach us a few more times?”
Li An and Su Jian stood aside looking at her with a kind of naked frivolity in the voice, if you said they were bullying their ma’am, they were using a respectful tone, but whether it was from their heart remained to be discussed.
“Then watch carefully, I...”
“I'll teach you.”
Lady Wang had no choice but picked another bunch of wild grapes. At this time, Ling Jingxuan’s voice was suddenly heard. Everyone in the washing room was startled and their eyes all swept over at him. With a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, you couldn’t see a slice of displeasure. Li An and Su Jian took a look at each other and moved over fawningly, “Great, master Xuan. You know, we have never done this kind of job. So it’s really hard to catch up. Sorry to trouble you then.”
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Only judging from Ling Jingxuan’s figure, he was a typical pushover. Seeing that he wasn’t angry or what, those two decisively forgot about his warning yesterday, with undisguised triumphant feeling between his eyebrows. As the servants, they could screw the masters around. To them, that was their ability.
“It’s been an hour and you still can’t catch up. I guess it’s too fine work for you.”
When passing them, Ling Jingxuan swept over all of them faintly, and his eyes fell on Chen Ruhua who was avoiding his eyes, while the latter got frightened and hurriedly lowered her head and washed those wild fruit. When Ling Jingxuan saw two piles of hill-like grape skin on the ground, his eyes slightly sank. No wonder the next clean wild fruit hadn’t been sent over since they had already finished decocting the last patch. It turned out…They really had the nerve! They really took his words as bullsh*t?
Anyone who wasn’t a fool could hear the sarcasm in their words. The two servants’ face changed. Relying on his strong and high shape, with a big stride, Su Jian already stood before him, looking at Ling Jingxuan who was a head shorter than him, “Master Xuan, what are you talking about? We are men, of course we are not used to doing some women’s job.”
In their eyes, in this family, only that Master Sheng was a bit like something, others were all trash, including Ling Jingxuan who was standing before them. Now Master Sheng was not here, of course they already didn’t take anyone in the eyes.
“Hum! Mother, let me teach them.”
With a nearly unheard hum, Ling Jingxuan ignored them, he bent over to hold Lady Wang up, and then sat on a small stool before the sink, “Come here and see clearly.”
Picking up a bunch of wild grapes, Ling Jingxuan still remained that normal expression.
“Oh, OK!”
