Chapter 53 Maid
After drinking the tea, Feng Xin returned the cup to Shen Li, pointing at the vase as if she still wanted it.
Looking at this scene, Shen Li couldn't help but sigh.
Feng Xin's current figure is thin, especially on the face, there is almost no flesh, but the facial features are correct, the oval face, big eyes, it can be seen that he was also a beauty when he was young.
Besides, she hasn't worked much these years, she has a simple mind, there are almost no wrinkles on her face, and she looks at most thirty years old.
At the age of teens, he gave birth to a child with no name or distinction. Judging from what Si Yan said yesterday, Feng Xin must have suffered a lot when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have been like this.
Being both women, Shen Li felt that Feng Xin was really miserable.
Feng Xin still insisted on eating flowers, but the maid beside her had no choice but to refuse to listen to her.
One of them was still persuading him patiently, while the other round-faced girl was obviously impatient in Shen Li's eyes.
The girl glanced at Shen Li from the corner of her eye from time to time, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, her eyes were somewhat contemptuous.
Women are all delicate-minded, and Shen Li is no exception. She is even more observant than ordinary people.
Shen Li didn't think he knew her, let alone where her hostility came from.
But you have to figure it out anyway.
Shen Li seemed to ask casually.
"You two are serving maids here? What's your name? How long have you been here?"
The one with the round face didn't say anything, and the one next to him answered first.
"Back to the eldest lady, the maidservant is called Jixiang, and she has been serving Madam here for more than three years."
After Jixiang finished speaking, the round-faced girl spoke.
"The maidservant is called Ruyi, and she used to be a first-class maidservant in another house, and she came with Jixiang.
Speaking of which, the name Numai was given by the general back then. "
Ruyi stared at Si Yan seriously when she was talking, with a smile showing from the corner of her eyes.
Shen Li subconsciously went to look at Si Yan, seeing that he didn't respond, and then carefully looked at the two maids.
Ruyi is fair and clean, well-dressed, and looks much smarter, as if she had stayed in a big mansion.
Shen Li didn't continue to ask about them, she turned her head to look at Feng Xin who was still in a mood, and asked them.
"Since mother likes flowers, why don't you make her some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, lotus cakes and other snacks."
Ruyi answered quickly this time.
"Miss, you didn't know when you first came. There is only one woman who cooks in our house. She can only cook some home-cooked dishes, not these tricks."
Shen Li's expression didn't change, but her heart turned cold. She didn't say a word after entering the room, but Ruyi was blocking her both openly and secretly.
"Oh? Really, but you are not a first-class maid, you will definitely do it."
As soon as the words fell, Ruyi's face froze, why did she feel like she was slapping herself in the face, she hesitated.
"But... the servant has to take care of the wife."
Shen Li ignored her, and turned around to talk to Feng Xin instead.
"Mother, do you want to eat cakes made of flowers? They look so pretty."
Feng Xin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded.
"Yes, yes."
The meaning is obvious now, but Ruyi doesn't move. She has done enough of these jobs before, so why would she want to run to the kitchen.
Ruyi cast a begging look at Si Yan for help, her eyes were pitiful.
Si Yan didn't know why.
"you will not?"
Ruyi nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes."
Si Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Then why are you standing there, don't hurry up."
