Chapter 2 A Wise and Powerful Girl

When Mama Li heard this, she wanted to teach her niece a few more words, but before she could speak, she heard a faint sound of talking outside, and footsteps came all the way to the main room, and the aunt and nephew immediately stopped talking.

After a while, a young woman's voice sounded outside: "Mama Li, is the eldest girl awake?"

Mama Li's voice was a little enthusiastic: "Yo, isn't this Chunxiang girl?

Chunxiang was not very old when she heard the voice, but when she talked to the third wife's housekeeper Mama Li, she was not as deferential as Chunxiao, and her tone seemed to be pressing Mama Li's head: "Heh, the masters haven't eaten yet, how can we be slaves and maids eat first?"

Mama Li didn't care when she heard this, but said to Chunxiao with a smile: "Why don't you bring a few snacks and let Miss Chunxiang put on the mat first." ”

Chunxiang interrupted unappreciatively: "Don't be busy, do I still lack those snacks?" Mrs. Tai asked me to come over to see if the eldest girl is awake, if she wakes up, she will go with me to Fushouyuan." ”

Chunxiao interjected in a low voice: "The eldest girl just lost her fever yesterday, and the doctor said that it would be best to raise it for a few more days." ”

Chunxiang's voice was obviously displeased: "Mrs. Tai ordered all the masters in the mansion to go to Fushou Courtyard, and even the eighth young master, who was only three months old, was carried by the nurse. Since the eldest girl's illness has been cured, she naturally should not be absent. ”

Mama Li slapped Chunxiao heavily, and said sharply: "Why don't you go and find the clothes for the big girl!" said to Chunxiang with a smile, "The little girl is not sensible, I will discipline and discipline her well when I get back, I will go to see if the big girl has woken up." ”

Chunxiang hurried back to recover her life, so she didn't say anything more, only said a faint "um".

He Linwan closed her eyes again before Mama Li came in, and Mama Li walked to the bed and whispered, "Big girl, big girl?"

He Linwan didn't move, she felt Mama Li get closer, and lightly helped her cover the thin quilt that had been lifted, and then sighed to turn around and leave.

He Linwan moved, and slowly opened his eyes.

Mama Li immediately turned her head when she heard the sound, and came over happily: "Big girl?"

He Linwan rubbed his eyes and glanced at Mama Li in confusion.

Mama Li turned her head to look outside, and then leaned into He Linwan's ear and whispered: "Big girl, Mrs. Tai asked all the masters in the house to go to Fushou Courtyard, do you feel better?" If you are still uncomfortable, the slave maid will go back and say that your illness is not yet well, and let people go and ask the doctor to come." ”

He Linwan's voice was still hoarse with the initial awakening: "Did Mrs. Tai send someone? I just heard someone talking outside." ”

"It's Haruka from Mrs. Tai's yard. Mama Li whispered.

At this time, Chunxiang was waiting a little impatiently, and walked over and said through the curtain: "Mama Li, has the eldest girl woken up?"

Mama Li looked at He Linwan hesitantly.

He Linwan frowned, thinking to himself how could the maid in Mrs. He's room be so unruly?

But then thinking of the origin of this old Chengenhou lady, He Linwan was relieved.

The Yang family, where He Lin was born in the evening, is a completely different family from the He family, which has lasted for hundreds of years, and is very strict with the upbringing of the women in the clan, and at the same time relatively tolerant. Yang Weizhen began to read and write with his mother and eldest sister at the age of five, and was favored by his grandfather because he was intelligent and unforgettable, and was allowed by his grandfather to study with several cousins.

When she was young, Yang Weizhen was also proud and impetuous for a while, because no matter what she studied, she learned faster and better than several brothers in the family, and even the fifth brother with the best knowledge in the family was not as popular as her.

It wasn't until her grandmother called her in and lovingly and sternly admonished her that the purpose of a woman's study was different from that of a man, that a man studied for the future, and that a woman studied for reason. So she didn't have to compete with her brothers who were men, she should have learned another kind of bloodless killing decision.

However, her grandmother did not stop Yang Weizhen from continuing to study with her grandfather, but since then she has personally taught her what she should learn as a daughter of a family, including the lineage of various families in the Central Plains for more than 300 years.

Since the age of ten, Yang Weizhen has been able to memorize the genealogy of the old and new families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her grandmother and mother like to take her with her during the New Year's holidays, because she will not mistake the intricate interpersonal relationships of any large and small families.

Therefore, Yang Weizhen naturally knows the origin of the He family.

Like most of the generals who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the country and won the title with their military merits, Lao Chengenhou He Yong's background was very ordinary, and the ancestors of the He family were farmers.

The origin of the old Chengenhou wife Cao and the old Chengenhou He Yong are also considered to be a good match, the Cao family and the He family are fellow villagers, He Yong and Cao's brother Cao Sheng once farmed land for the same family, and later the two joined the army together, and Cao Sheng became He Yong's subordinate. Cao Sheng died on the battlefield in a certain year, He Yong married Cao Sheng's own sister, Cao Sheng's only son Cao Fei was promoted by He Yong to General Xuanwei from Sipin.

Since Yang Weizhen became He Linwan, he has not seen this old Mrs. Chengenhou, but he has only seen a little, judging from the words and deeds of this old Mrs. Hou's eldest maid, He Linwan is quite dissatisfied with the rules of this old Mrs. Hou.

"Let someone come in and freshen up. He Linwan nodded to Mama Li.

Mama Li was a little worried and put the back of her hand on He Linwan's forehead, and when she saw that there was indeed no fever, she retreated, and after a while, she brought in a few little maids holding copper basin cloth towels.

The maid named Chunxiang opened the curtain and looked into the room, wanting to urge a few maids to hurry up, but when she saw He Linwan, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The He family said that the eldest girl was rude and rude, but Chunxiang looked at the eldest girl who was being served by the maid to wash, but felt that even if she spit mouthwash into the spittoon, the eldest girl looked very good.

I don't know why, Haruka touched her nose and quietly lowered the curtain again.

When Chunxiao combed He Linwan's hair, He Linwan glanced at the bronze mirror a few times, and the ten-year-old He Linwan's facial features had not yet opened, and his nose and mouth were like his mother Wei's, small and exquisite. Those slightly round eyes made her look a little childish, looking at those eyes He Linwan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, for some reason, she felt that the eyes of the person in the mirror were a little similar to her previous life.

A third-class little maid found out a box of incense powder and said flatteringly: "Big girl, this is the new incense powder in the house a few days ago, I heard that there is a good pearl powder in it, and after rubbing it, the skin is crystal clear and the complexion is like snow, do you want to try it?"

Chunxiao, who was wearing pearl flowers for He Linwan, changed his face and scolded the maid: "Where did you come from, a fool who doesn't have long eyes! Get out!"

Chunxiao scolded while secretly going to see He Linwan, for fear that this little ancestor would turn his face.

He Linwan is not ugly, but I don't know if it's because he likes to play outside since he was a child, his skin is a little dark, and he looks a little bad when he stands with several other ladies in the family. Although Miss He is not very surprised, she hates others to say that she is inferior to others.

There was once a broken mouth mother-in-law who didn't have long eyes and said that the eldest girl and the second girl, the third girl stood together, and it was not conspicuous than a third-class little girl, but the eldest girl was furious, and together with the third young master and the fifth young master, she threw rats and insects on the mother-in-law's kang for a month, and finally put a highly poisonous bamboo leaf green, which scared the mother-in-law into a serious illness and finally hid on the Zhuangzi and did not dare to come back.

Although the eldest girl was severely punished later, the ordinary maids and ladies in the house also knew how powerful the eldest girl was, and they didn't dare to provoke her.

The little maid who caused the trouble was stunned, and then immediately cried and knelt down: "The big girl spares her life, the big girl spares her life......"

He Linwan glanced at the maid a little inexplicably, and frowned: "Go down." ”

Her original intention was that it was just a trivial matter, and she didn't think that the maid had done anything wrong, so the matter was revealed.

But I didn't want the little maid who was crying with tears and snot to look at He Linwan with a frightened face, and then shook her knees and kowtowed while saying: "No, no, no, big girl, you punish the slave and the maid, you can punish the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will never dare again......"

Even Chunxiao's face was not good-looking, she reluctantly smiled and pleaded with the little maid: "Big girl, this maid is new to the new and not sensible, if you don't like it, how about letting people beat her up and throw her out? ”

He Linwan: "......"

After being silent for a moment, He Linwan suppressed the urge to twitch at the corner of his forehead and said, "I heard that the Buddha's birthday is coming, so it's not appropriate to kill?"

She was originally joking, and she didn't want to say anything, and the maids in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunxiao kicked the little girl lightly, and took the lead in flattering: "The big girl is wise and martial!"

The little maid reacted and sobbed in surprise: "Big ...... The big girl is wise and martial!"

Then there were several maids in the room who heard the sound of "big girl is wise and martial" one after another.

He Linwan: "......"

Then Chunxiao cautiously asked, "How is the big girl going to punish her?"

This is the first time He Linwan has been forced to punish someone, she glanced at the purse worn by the maid, and said indifferently with a helpless face: "Look at the embroidery skills, embroider two purses for me." ”

The little maid was simply grateful to Dade for receiving the punishment.
