Chapter 15 A Plate of Meat in Exchange for a Simple and Honest Little Brother!
The woman let out a long sigh, as if she was calming down, and then a gentle and pleasant voice came.
"You are not to blame for this, go!"
"Okay, Madam, then you take a rest!"
Lin Xing did not say anything more, picked up the food box and turned to leave, but just after taking a step out, he subconsciously thought of a question, feeling that this lady should be a very reserved woman...
Thinking of this, Lin Xing stopped and turned back.
"Madam, the little Maozi eunuch just asked to come to get the bowls and chopsticks later, am I a little early?"
"You don't have to say more, this matter is not your fault, I am just a sinner, what is there to worry about."
"Okay, go quickly!"
Although the woman spoke in a calm tone, she could not hide the helplessness and resentment in her tone.
Lin Xing understood, it seemed that she came too early, she didn't think of it at all.
There was no point in talking any more, fortunately, although she felt a little resentful in her heart, she didn't blame herself in particular.
Afterwards, Lin Xing said hello and left with the food box.
The sound of the door closing lasted for a long time, and the woman felt wronged and sobbed softly, accompanied by sobs, and her body was still trembling slightly.
The leftovers from her last meal were taken away when the next meal was delivered, not to mention that she suddenly felt uncomfortable because of bloating, so she didn't think too much in a hurry...
The most important thing is that she was still the general's wife two days ago, and her heart has not been able to accept and adapt to the current environment.
Helplessness and grievances can't help but evoke the grief in her heart, how can she not cry.
Her husband's family is loyal and brave, and has made countless military exploits for the court. His father and grandfather died on the battlefield.
Her husband has been guarding the border for the court for many years, but because he was dissatisfied with the powerful regent, he was framed to exclude dissidents, and the Liang family was executed, leaving only her and her three-month-old daughter.
If it weren't for her daughter, she would never live in disgrace with the remaining blood of the Liang family.
Lin Xing came out of No. 38 and went straight back to the compound, throwing away the broken pieces of the bowl on the way.
However, he tasted the ones at the bottom of the bowl for some reason.
It was the first time for a young wife to get on a sedan chair, and it was also a case of reason not overcoming subconscious curiosity.
I don’t know if it was because it was cold or because of some nervousness of being a thief, it seemed that the taste was not good after smashing it.
It’s quite exciting!
Lin Xing returned to the kitchen, and only Xiao Niuzi was there, sitting there as if waiting for him.
Sure enough!
Xiao Niuzi quickly got up and took the empty lunch box from Lin Xing.
“Father-in-law, just give it to me.”
Lin Xing let go and handed it to him, and he wanted to laugh in his heart. Xiao Maozi said that Xiao Linzi was his brother, and he became a father-in-law.
Obviously, at this time, the work has been done, and Xiao Niuzi is waiting for him to come back and then clean up the leftovers and bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Niuzi looked young, and from Xiao Maozi he learned that he had just arrived in Yongxiang.
Then who else would the other old people bully if not him!
As a newcomer, if Xiao Maozi hadn't said hello to Lin Xing, let alone staying in a single room, he would probably be bullied by the old people like Xiao Niuzi.
Then, Xiao Niuzi started to work silently, and after opening the lid of the food box, he swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
Lin Xing saw it, and he didn't need to think too much, it must be because of the plate of meat that was basically untouched.
After a little hesitation, Xiao Niuzi brought out two dishes and poured them into the small wooden basin next to him.
Then, he put the wooden basin in the locker next to him.
Then, he put the empty plates and bowls in the basin on the ground, squatted on the ground and started to wash.
Lin Xing didn't say anything, frowning and staring at Xiao Niuzi's series of operations. It shouldn't be the first time he did this, and he understood it a little.
"Xiao Niuzi, why do you put those dishes away? There is no one else here, why don't you eat some?"
"I dare not!"
Xiao Niuzi shook his head without hesitation.
"Just eat it without worry, I won't tell anyone else.
Oh, by the way, everyone else should have gone to rest, right?"
Lin Xing saw Xiao Niuzi's scared look and understood that these leftover delicious food were most likely left by Xiao Maozi.
Under normal circumstances, the eunuchs and maids on duty in the palace can eat the leftover food of the master, otherwise they will be thrown away.
Xiao Niuzi nodded, "Yes, eunuch, they all went to take a nap."
"By the way, eunuch, leave this to me, your room has been cleaned, you should go to rest quickly."
Lin Xing waved his hand, "No hurry, no hurry!"
"Xiao Niuzi, don't work yet, eat all the meat first."
As he spoke, Lin Xing directly brought out the small wooden basin.
Hearing this, Xiao Niuzi looked nervous, "No, no, eunuch, I dare not."
"If you are hungry, just eat some, I think eunuch Liu won't blame you..."
At this point, Xiao Niuzi's expression tightened, as if he felt that he had said something wrong in a hurry, and he quickly lowered his head to continue working.
It's really Xiao Maozi!
Then Lin Xing was relieved, thinking that eunuch Wu would not care about these leftovers.
"Xiao Niuzi, eunuch Liu said that I can eat these dishes as much as I want. Anyway, you have helped me. Come here, let's eat together."
Lin Xing felt that this little cow was honest and simple, and he had just come here not long ago. Not to mention that he had been brought to his side, at least it would not hurt to do him a favor.
Besides, this kid was indeed pitiful. Looking at his greedy look, it was unknown how long he had not eaten meat.
Hearing this, the little cow looked up and swallowed his saliva again, but still did not dare to hesitate.
Lin Xing immediately said: "No one will know. If Liu Gong asks, just say that I ate it alone."
The little cow frowned, and finally mustered up the courage to stand up. At Lin Xing's signal, he sat down.
Good guy!
These low-ranking eunuchs, not to mention that the people above do not treat them as human beings, they themselves do not treat themselves as human beings. They are almost like zombies. As long as it is something ordered by the superiors, they dare not be sneaky at all, let alone disobey.
In fact, this is also the sad part, just to survive, to survive without dignity!
Lin Xing first picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said casually: "Eat it with confidence, I guarantee you will be fine."
Xiao Niuzi nodded with red eyes, and his voice was a little choked, "Thank you, eunuch!"
Obviously, he was very moved, maybe no one had ever treated him as a human being and treated him so well.
"Okay, eat it quickly, how long have you not eaten meat?"
"My eunuch, I haven't tasted meat for almost a year before I entered the palace."
Xiao Niuzi picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing and hesitating.
Good guy!
Lin Xing looked at Xiao Niuzi's satisfied face and was not as restrained as before.
"Poor kid, follow your big brother in the future, I guarantee you will eat meat every two or three days."
Hearing this, Xiao Niuzi became more excited and tears fell.
"Father, my parents died early, and no one has ever been so kind to me."
"I am not good at talking, and I can't say anything nice. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if I lose my life!"
Lin Xing nodded. The more plain and simple the words are, the more valuable and trustworthy they are!
"Eat quickly, I just ate meat, these are all yours, eat them all."
Xiao Niuzi had tears in his eyes, and he didn't say anything polite, and ate them with relish.
What an honest child!
A bowl of meat in exchange for a loyal little brother, this deal is worth it.
Soon, Xiao Niuzi ate a bowl of meat, and then washed the dishes, his expression was full of happiness.
At this time, Lin Xing also figured out that the inhuman Xiao Maozi had deducted these leftovers. If these eunuchs wanted to eat, they needed to spend money. Except for Xiao Niuzi, the other eunuchs had more money, and the monthly silver for a year belonged to Xiao Maozi.
I have to say, this bastard is really good at it.
After finishing his work, Xiao Niuzi returned to his big bunk bed, and Lin Xing also went back to his small room to take a break.
Take advantage of this opportunity to think carefully about how to win over the lady while delivering dinner.
