Chapter 34: Apologize at the door
The autumn rain lingers, the courtyard is lonely, the raindrops are swirling and pouring down along the eaves, and the courtyard is woven with a foggy rain curtain.
Everything around him can't be seen really, Fu Liluo got up early, had breakfast, sat on the soft fur brocade couch in front of the porch and watched the rain in a daze...
"Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity!" the old woman crouched on the ground, rubbing her hands back and forth on the ground, and muttered a sigh... A coarse cloth shirt has long been soaked by the rain...
Fu Liluo couldn't bear it, and was about to call the little maid who was cleaning the house to come over with an umbrella, only to see Manluo carrying a small and delicate brocade box, dressed in a gray-purple plain grass coat and running over, "Miss, try it, it's a new dim sum in the back kitchen, and it's still hot!" Manluo handed the brocade box to Fu Liluo, and hurriedly untied her clothes, shook the water droplets on her clothes, and glanced at the old woman under the osmanthus tree, "Mama Shen is really confused? , Manluo shouted to the little maid Xiaozhu who was busy in the back room, took a green umbrella over, lifted the skirt and walked over.
Fu Liluo put down the dim sum brocade box in her hand, stretched out her plain hand to catch the raindrops dripping on the eaves, the water droplets hit her white palm coldly, splashing the slightest damp stars, like the broken jade plate, the palm of the hand was cold.
The cold chill is like, her cold and bone-crushing thoughts at the moment, in a few days, it will be her underworld, a full eight years have passed, if she is still alive... She should be twenty-five years old, at this age, if her parents are alive and her children are all right, how happy it should be, but she Fu Liluo doesn't have that blessing, and she falls like that at the same age...
"Miss, what's wrong!" Mangrove poured a cup of red dates and autumn cinnamon fragrant tea and walked over, as if sensing her gloomy color, "This is made by Mama Shen to teach the slave maid, Miss drinks and sees, it is said that it is the most beautiful and moisturizing the skin." Manroe smiled and handed it to her.
Fu Liluo suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head, and wiped the wetness at the corners of his eyes... Stretched out his hand and held the cup, took a sip of the white steaming tea, a fragrant fragrance swept the entire stomach, and suddenly the whole body warmed up, and put down the teacup: "Did the master say what time did you leave?"
"Said to wait for the rain to light up before going. The mangrove twisted the white plum in the dish on the table and put it in her mouth, as if she remembered something funny, and the corners of her mouth grinned unconsciously, "Miss, listening to Yulan, I saw the second miss crying very miserably this morning, running out of Cimingyuan, not even playing an umbrella, like a chicken in the soup..."
The mangrove covered her stomach, the tears of laughter came out, and the plums that she had just thrown into her mouth fell to the ground.
Fu Li Luo E's eyebrows furrowed, and he smiled faintly: "That Gu Xuan is going to feel distressed, he likes her second sister the most." ”
The tone was fluttering, and she couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations, only the curled green fingers, revealing her subtle thoughts.
Manluo flicked the water droplets on her sleeves, and her apricot eyes widened: "The little maid in Qinghan Pavilion said that the second lady went yesterday, but Young Master Xuan didn't see her, and she left with a disgraced face." ”
Seeing that Gu Yunhua's recent experience was so decaying, Manluo felt very comfortable.
I still remember when the eldest lady was ten years old, she was falsely accused by the second lady, saying that the eldest lady tore up Miss Mo's paper kite, and the old lady who didn't like the eldest lady was harmed, and the eldest lady was locked up for two days.
Later, when things were clarified, Gu Yunhua cried and swore a poisonous oath, saying that he didn't see it clearly at that time, it turned out that his maid Cuiliu accidentally broke it, and apologized to the eldest lady, and the crying appearance made the eldest lady forgive on the spot.
"Miss, since Cuiliu died, I felt that something was wrong with Xiao'e, I came back yesterday, I greeted her, she only nodded, and hurriedly left. ”
Manberry scratched her head, her big misty eyes black and white.
Fu Li Luo sat up from the soft couch with raised eyebrows, and his clear eyes were clear: "What's wrong?"
In fact, Fu Liluo had already discovered that, according to her judgment, the maid who died in Chaoyunxuan must be inseparable from Gu Yunhua and the one named Xiao'e, as well as the grandmother Chen who was stained with yellow mud on her instep..... Fu Liluo's eyes darkened, he helped his forehead in pain, lay down crookedly, spread out the plain brocade handkerchief in his hand, and covered his face.
Manluo glanced at her, raised her hand to lift the corner of the handkerchief on her face: "Listen to Yulan, Xiao'e has to walk around Chaoyunxuan during the day, and she mutters when she sleeps at night, and..." Manluo stood up, her chubby little face was puffed up, like a small bun about to burst, she crossed her hands on her waist, stared at her willow eyebrows, stood behind her and wiped the door frame Xiaozhu, but bluffed the new little maid, only to see Xiaozhu's face sneered, and she reluctantly took a basin of water and walked in...
Manluo also followed, raised her hand and touched Qingmo's desk and cabinet, and scolded the little maid again, "I said! No wonder I have time to rake my ears in the corner of the wall, this work is the same as not doing it, I don't know what Ju Qingyuan Baba sent you over?" Manluo waved her handkerchief, her pretty face was crimson, and her spittle was flying across her waist!
Fu Liluo had long known that this little maid was not pure, she just wanted to see what she would do? Sometimes she had to put a long line to catch a big fish, and besides, she wanted to catch the sinister and cunning big fish behind the little maid... And the maid of Chaoyunxuan who died in vain, she will definitely find out!
"Sister Manro, spare me! I don't dare to be lazy anymore, I'll wipe it again... Re-rub.." The little maid lowered her eyebrows and fell to the ground begging for mercy with a heavy cry.
Fu Liluo glanced at it coldly, his face was silent, and he let the mangrove fall.
After a period of observation, she could see that mangrove is not like other maidservants, she has an idea in many major matters, although she is usually a little arrogant, but she can still carry it clearly, for mangrove's principle of doing things, Fu Liluo is very relieved.
The rain outside the pavilion gradually stopped, and the water hibiscus on the grass and vines had already been staggered by the wind and rain, Fu Li Luo tightened the Qiu brocade shirt on his body and walked over....
"Miss, let the slave and maid come! Mama Shen stepped forward tremblingly, and her body in a cloak became more and more weak and thin.
Fu Li Luo nodded with a light smile, looked at the neat hand of the grandmother, and straightened the small flower that fell down.
There were bursts of footsteps outside the courtyard, Fu Li Luo frowned, and Mama Li entered with a big ink-colored umbrella.
"Miss, the master said that the rain was light, and he specially asked the old slave to come and invite the lady to leave. Mama Li took the umbrella, put it on the corner of the corridor, and said with a light smile: "The lord saw that the weather was not good, so he deliberately let him go to the Tibetan Jade Pavilion and found the carriage of the Dingzhu Zijin Shu brocade saddle to come out, saying that the road was slippery, and he was afraid that the boys would not be careless about carrying the sedan chair, and he was afraid that he would fall the eldest lady." "Mama Li speaks eloquently, very neatly.
Fu Liluo smiled on his face, and pulled the cardigan skirt on his body: "Father has a heart, by the way, Mama Li, you should stay in Cimingyuan and serve! After all, my father is used to you, and I don't worry about changing someone else." With his hand on the jaw of the beautiful shengsheng, Fu Li Luo's face looked leisurely, and his words were not revealed.
She really thinks that there are enough people, and there are many people, even if this Mama Li is serving next to Gu Qian and has no extra thoughts, she still doesn't want to use it.
Mama Li's face was stunned, and she said abruptly: "Isn't the eldest lady to blame the old slave for not serving her wholeheartedly? The old slave was just called by the master early in the morning..."Mama Li's face is not very good-looking, the old man just gave himself to Yifeng Pavilion yesterday, and now his butt is not hot, and he was sent back again, I am afraid that it will not make people laugh, and the old man will also be displeased, blaming her for not doing things well!
Fu Liluo saw her thoughts, and bent the corners of her mouth: "Mama Li is the one who has served her father and grandmother, and she is more decent than the people next to her, and Mama has won the trust of her father. Fu Liluo said and pointed to Mama Shen, who was busy working under the eaves of the corridor, Mama Li looked in the direction she pointed, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "Since the eldest lady said so, the old slave will go back to Ciming Garden, but..."
"Mama Li don't worry, let's go to the front hall together, I will show my father, Mama is relieved!"
Fu Liluo knew what she was worried about, this kind of old lady who had been in the house for a long time naturally had a deeper mind, and she would not let people make mistakes, so she didn't need to embarrass her.
"The eldest lady is clear-minded, and the old slave is convinced. Mama Li blessed her body, and her face was very grateful.
Fu Liluo waved his hand with a shallow gaze and walked to the inner room of the wing....
Dressed up, walked out with Manluo and Mama Hong, and turned his head to say a few words in Mama Shen's ear, everyone was surprised, no one heard what they said, only saw Mama Shen's thin body move, and her head nodded like a rattle.
Mama Li thought secretly, her dim and cloudy eyes changed back and forth, and she hurriedly followed the cyan figure and walked out of the yard quickly...
Manluo chewed the celadon soft cake in her mouth, and the sticky pastry stuck to the white porcelain teeth, and she only trembled when she spoke: "Miss, your body is cleaner than yesterday, why did you bring this hairpin? The slave almost put it away the day before yesterday." Looking at Fu Liluo, who looked pensive, Manluo couldn't help but walk a little panting..
"The eldest lady's complexion is extremely beautiful, and with this Morui peach blossom and green wood hairpin, it also complements each other, it is very elegant!"
Mama Li hurriedly followed, looking at Fu Liluo, who was dressed in cyan, with sincere boasting in her eyes.
Everyone arrived at Ciming Yuan with their own thoughts, Fu Liluo's expression was relaxed, he had seen Gu Qian, but he listened to his instructions left and right, and walked to the carriage with Gu Yunhua's mother and daughter with low eyebrows and drooping eyes... followed by mother-in-law and maids carrying handicase boxes.
Fu Li Luo raised her eyebrows for a long time, and glanced at the Gu Yun painting that was silently following behind, only to see that she was wearing a lake-colored skirt, and the hairpin on her head was still gorgeous and exquisite, but the appearance of bending over and hunching her back made her have no temperament at all, but the whole person looked extremely bleak.
Fu Liluo bent down on the low stool, and quickly got into the carriage, and Gu Yunhua was about to step on it...
correct
A shrill shout rang out
"Second Miss, don't go up.."
Gu Yunhua, who was about to get into the car, was startled, his feet trembled, and he fell crooked from the low stool...
"Oops, it hurts.." Gu Yunhua touched his stinging ankle, and stared fiercely at Fu Liluo who had lowered the bead curtain with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Mother, look, my new skirt is dirty, I better not go!" Gu Yunhua pulled the skirt full of mud, pouted a pink little mouth, and turned his head to glare at Mama Li on the side angrily.
The second lady Yang Suqin has long lost her usual momentum, and she glanced at the beaded curtain that was blown by the wind, and the crystal clear string of jade inlaid beads exuded a gorgeous light, and the piercing Yang Suqin's eyes were about to open her eyes, and she vaguely caught a glimpse of the cyan shadow sitting inside, Yang Suqin looked grinning, and hurriedly picked up the handkerchief, and wiped the corner of her skirt for Gu Yunhua: "Go!" and whispered close to Gu Yunhua's ear: "Anyway, you can't hide, solve it as soon as possible!"
Speaking of the word solution, Yang Suqin**'s face was full of hatred..
"If my sister doesn't go, then my sister doesn't need to go, the initiator is my sister, could it be that my sister doesn't know it?"
The crisp voice on the carriage came, and the crisp words seemed to explode in Gu Yunhua's ears, her body shook, tightened the palm of her hand, stood up against Yang Suqin, and bit her lip fiercely: "Where my sister says, my sister is also unintentional!"
The water-colored cherry lips were bitten out of blood, and the stinging sensation hit, Gu Yun raised his hand gloomily, held Yang Suqin's hand, and limped towards the plain carriage behind...
Fu Liluo hooked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! I was delayed by my sister for a long time..."
Gu Yunhua paused, his body swayed in the wind, and finally climbed into the carriage in frustration.
