32 Sullen
The sun is good, and there are girls laughing in the small corner yard, and the laughter is sprinkled everywhere, which attracts the mother-in-law and the little maids who pass by the wall and can't help but stop and lie on the crack of the door to see the freshness.
Orchid ran out with a piece of paper, "Xiaoling Da Meizi, you two listen, little grandma has given you a new name," shook the paper in his hand, "It's written on the paper." β
The two little girls are still the names used at home when they first entered the Liufu, because they are too young and far from the time to serve any master closely, so even if they are eager to change their names like those big girls, they have never had the opportunity.
You must know that there is an unwritten rule in Lingzhou Mansion that every time you go to a family, you will first change your original name and be called by the new owner. In Liufu, the group of girls who are waiting close to each other all start with the word "Lan", so when can they get a name that starts with "Lan" has become a thing that many low-level girls who have not been in Liufu have been dreaming of but have difficulty fulfilling.
Unexpectedly, the little grandmother changed their names, they were pleasantly surprised, and ran from under the plum tree, "Sister, read it quickly, what is a good name?"
Orchid smiled and exaggeratedly prolonged her voice: "One is called Shen'er, and the other is called Qian'er." Which one you want, you choose. β
"Shen'er...... Qian'er ...... "Xiao Ling, who was running in front, was fast-talking, and her face hesitated for a moment, "Sister Orchid, is there anything else......?"
Isn't it the beginning of the word "Lan"?
It's just that this sentence in her heart is about to come out, and she was forced into the root of her tongue again, and she didn't dare to spit it out.
Orchid smiled and scolded: "Little hoof, the master is interested in changing your name, is your ancestor smoking, and you are still not satisfied, do you want to pick and choose? Then I went back to the little grandmother, and your name should not be changed." β
Da Meizi, who came from behind, hurriedly waved her hand, "Good orchid sister, don't tell the little grandmother, although it is not the same as my sister's orchid word starts, but the master is worried about changing our name, we are already very happy." Where is there anything not satisfied. β
Xiao Ling has already made up her mind, "I'll choose Shen'er." β
Orchid smiled: "You don't have to choose the big plum, it's shallow." From now on, you are a deep child, although the little grandmother can't speak, but I guess that she gave such a name, just to tell sΓΉ that you remember your duty as a slave, work diligently, know the depth of everything, follow the little grandmother well, there will be your good son. β
She really came over, look at what she said, she hit the nail on the head.
After speaking, he ignored the thanks of the two little girls, and turned around and went into the house.
At this time, Lancao stepped from the door to the threshold, and just happened to bump into the scene in front of her, and she stood there stunned.
Orchid, why is she here, and she stands at the door announcing the order of the little grandmother, this, this ...... I've only been out for less than an hour, and the world has changed dramatically?
Shen'er chanted his name a few times, glanced at Qian'er, and was a little proud, "Hehe, who told you to always be so slow, and suffer again, Qian'er, hey, this name is not good, does it mean that you are very shallow?"
Qian'er blinked her big round eyes, but she was not angry, and said with an indifferent smile: "No matter what it is, it's just a name, so why bother so much." Besides, I think the name of Qian'er is very good, and if it is not good, the little grandmother will not get up to give it to us. β
As they spoke, the two of them continued to gather under the plum tree to pick the petals.
Inside the room, the dumb girl stood in front of the window, staring at them from afar through the window paper.
Lancao glanced at them, and didn't care to ask them how to pick flowers well, if she dared to be naughty if she didn't have them for a while.
Orchid grass into the house, orchid startled, was originally for the dumb aunt to spread rice paper, a look at the orchid, suddenly a little sneered, want to retreat, but unwilling, do not say hello, just lower the head full of the newly written paper to move, and then spread a new one.
Lancao went to look at the dumb aunt, hoping to see the answer in her face.
But the little grandmother didn't look at her, and wrote slowly with her head down, and her pen was much smoother than in the morning.
The dumb aunt wrote, and the orchid was busy grinding the ink, and from time to time moving the paper into the blank space.
Lan Cao's heart was suddenly sour, and her eyes tightened, as if something was stuck in her throat.
Little grandmother, would you allow this little hoof to serve her pen and ink by the side?
Was the little grandmother willing, or was this little hoof forced to rub it up with a thick face?
No need to ask, it must have been rubbed up, the little grandmother didn't want to let people know that she had recovered her hearing and hearing function, so she could only continue to pretend to be dumb, a mute, and what else could she do to a person who didn't want to die with a soft face?
That's definitely it.
Totally sure.
**Not far from ten.
Lancao was angry, picked up a flower hoe at the door (she forgot to investigate where this flower hoe came from), held it tightly, just waiting for the little grandmother to give a look, and then she slammed down at this shameless little hoof until she was driven out of the corner yard.
The little grandmother wrote a line of words on the paper and looked up, but instead of looking at the orchid, she looked at the orchid.
Next, Lancao heard something that made her almost collapse, "Orchid is literate, stay by her side and serve the pen and ink, Lancao is responsible for daily life, the two of you have a clear division of labor and do not interfere with each other." β
What the?
What's what?
Is this from the hand of the little grandmother?
Did the little grandma mean it?
Could it be that the little hoof of Orchid did something to force the little grandmother behind his back?
Lancao's eyes met the eyes of the dumb aunt, this time, Lancao cried in her heart, tears flowed undercurrently, she knew that her doubts were unnecessary, the little grandmother's eyes were calm, open, peaceful, and deep, as if nothing had happened. It seems that the thing that caused a shock in Lancao's heart made Lancao almost crazy, but in her heart it was nothing, and she didn't care at all. It seems that all the qiΔ is bluegrass looking for trouble, and the world is always clear and beautiful in her place.
Lancao bit her lip, if she wasn't afraid of her master's heart, she really wanted to bite off her lower lip.
Really incompetent, has been squeezed out and bullied by orchids, finally orchids themselves left, the little grandmother just regarded herself as the only close big girl ring to look at, just went out to do an errand, came back a qiΔ and changed, the person who left came again, from then on this orchid has to fight with himself again, bullying himself in everything, calculating himself, designing everywhere, trapping step by step.
She really didn't want Orchid to come back.
No one paid attention to the orchid, and no one cared about the discomfort in her heart, she watched the little grandmother hand the brush to the orchid, and the orchid twisted the orchid finger, smiling and writing.
Lancao was stunned again, oh my God, no, could it be that she was dazzled, Orchid, a frivolous little hoof, would actually catch a pen like a teacher, write like the ladies of the Liu family, much better than the posture of the little grandmother to write, and she also wrote very quickly, and it was already full in a blink of an eye. At that word, all of them looked like women with delicate faces, smiling and standing on the paper looking at the blue grass and smiling.
The dumb aunt also writes a page.
Orchid smiled and shouted delicately: "Little grandma praised me for writing well, oops, little grandma, don't you dare to praise, the slave will blush, the little grandmother means to ask me to teach you to write? Okay, teach the little grandma to write, the slave is the most willing!"
Sure enough, they grabbed the hands of one by one, and their bodies were close together, and they just stood at the table, writing stroke by stroke.
Lancao looked at this scene and felt sour, feeling that she was so far away from the little grandmother's heart, maybe she couldn't catch up with the orchid in her life, the orchid was originally smart, and now she is showing this hand, this is a great ability, how many people can be literate and hyphenated to do it, she doesn't know how many Yahuan to compare with Liufu with this hand, and Lancao can't compare with others.
Lancao chest tightness and shortness of breath, out of the door, saw that the two little girls were still picking plum blossoms, each holding a dustpan in their hands, picking a handful and throwing it into the dustpan, giggling and laughing, making trouble, climbing and breaking the branches and trembling.
Lancao was confused, rushed over and was about to slap him, Shen'er was alert and dodged, Qian'er stood stupidly, a little aggrieved, "Sister Lancao, where have you been wronged, look at your face is blue." β
Lancao touched her face, and was about to reproach them for spoiling the good flowers?
Without waiting for Shen'er Qian'er to reply, Orchid smiled behind her, "Sister Lancao, this is what the little grandmother meant, the little grandmother said, you have to pick all the flowers before the tumi, catch the good sun, and if you don't dry it, you will make a fire in the house, this is to make medicine, don't you know Sister Lancao?"
The last question deliberately raised her voice very high, Lancao was so angry that she almost lost her voice and quarreled with her, what a little hoof, obviously taking advantage of my absence to slap the little grandmother, coaxing the little grandmother to surround you and protect you, why do you deliberately anger me like this?
Secretly looking at the dumb aunt, she still looks light and breezy, she has changed her clothes, and now she is wearing a lotus-colored skirt, with a light blue cloak on the outside, as she walks, the small body is wrapped in a ball of light blue, which sets off a small face that is thin and thin, but it looks Chu Chu and moving.
She walked out of the house like a breeze and went under the tree to pick plum blossoms.
The orchid has long been waiting behind him, don't look at this orchid in the past, but now he wants to stay in the corner courtyard, and the diligence of serving the master is incomparable even if it is ten orchids. Watching her tie the ribbon around her neck, watching her stretch her clothes for her little grandmother, watching her hold her arm in time when she went down the steps, and watching her pluck a dry plum branch from her hair for her little grandmother, the bluegrass really has nothing to say, it seems that her loss of power is a foregone conclusion, so be calm, or be the honest and diligent bluegrass in the past.
The plum tree has just been moved, it is estimated that the roots of the tree have not yet produced rejection of the soil and the new soil that suddenly left, and the plum blossoms are incomparably luxuriant, one branch presses one branch, each branch is blooming heavily, it looks like a tree full of colorful glow from a distance, approaching, and smelling a faint plum fragrance between the noses.
A few little hands picked the plum dots neatly, the dustpan was full, poured into the dustpan, the dustpan was full and there were sieves, the sieves were full, and there were bigger baskets, and soon the yard was full of large and small bamboo utensils, which were drying red and bright plum petals.
The wind blew from afar, passed through the wall of the corner courtyard, and then spread to other places, and it carried a strong fragrance of flowers, drifting to the big courtyard of Liufu, and with the spread of the fragrance of flowers, there was also a strange news.
