22 Noshu
Breakfast began, and the people from each courtyard and room went to the kitchen to get food.
Lancao didn't move, she helped her dumb aunt to get off the kang. Waiting for the dumb aunt to lean on Lancao's hand, sit up gently, move off the kang little by little, and slowly stand up and walk, Lancao was so surprised that she only shouted in her heart, the little grandmother's Sydney water is really habitual, and after a night's work, the little grandma was able to stand and walk.
You know, they've been in and out of the bench room.
Even if you are lucky, you will have to lie down for at least half a month before you can get off the kang.
The little grandmother was able to stand up so quickly.
The dumb aunt sat in front of the dressing table.
The white cloth towel that Qing Shui picked up gently wiped his face, and the bruise on his forehead became more obvious, so he could only comb his forehead hair a little bit, barely covering it.
Lancao combed her hair behind her, and the dumb aunt herself faced the mirror Fu powder, this fat powder turned out to be powdery, dry and dry, you can only take a little water in the palm of your hand to dissolve into a fat paste, and then gently use your fingers to spin it around, spin it up in a circle on your face, and then pick up the rouge and gently rub it on the cheeks, and finally apply a little color to the lips.
The dumb aunt suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the bun, "Why are you dressing me up so ugly?"
Lan Cao's eyes widened, "It's not ugly, little grandma, this is a popular young woman's bun on the ground in our Lingzhou Mansion, and the little ladies who have just married like to comb their hair like this." Besides, little grandma, haven't you been wearing such a bun since you entered the house?"
Originally, the long black and shiny hair, if it was draped over the shoulders or permed a curl, it would be very stylish, but it was wrapped and entangled, and then piled up a pile of overlapping on the top of the head for half a day, which was ugly to look at from the front, and ugly from the side.
The dumb aunt was silent for a moment, and then started to tear the bun apart, "Don't you think it's as ugly as a pile of cow?
Lan Cao snorted and laughed, laughing so much that tears came out, "You dare to say such a thing, don't you know, we are all like this here, underage girls can comb a pair of drooping buns, like me, you have to comb a bun, you are already married, you are a woman, so you have to comb a woman's bun." That's how people can identify you. ”
"Am I going to live for someone else?"
Lancao choked on this rhetorical question.
The dumb aunt pointed to the head of the blue grass: "Bring me one like this." ”
The tone is resolute and cannot be shirked.
The bluegrass can only be combed.
Packing up, Lancao held the right hand of the dumb aunt, and the two of them walked slowly out of the corner courtyard gate, stepped on the bluestone road under their feet, and walked all the way to the middle courtyard.
Behind them, the maids and servants who had just returned from bringing food looked up and bumped into a pair of figures walking gently and slowly in front of them, and their surprise spread rapidly in the cold morning breeze.
Some people are exchanging glances with each other, some people are wiping their eyes fiercely because they are afraid that they will be dazzled, and some people take a big sip of the soup pot in their hands, and they are scalded by the hot soup, choking on tears, and they can only come back to their senses in a violent cough.
Whether you believe it or not, the one who walked in front was none other than the one in the corner courtyard, who had just been smashed on the Taihu Lake stone by the fifth lady the day before yesterday, and just delivered a white fat son for Mrs. Jiu yesterday, and entered the bench room again in the afternoon, and today, she appeared again, and appeared in front of everyone alive.
Shouldn't it? It really shouldn't, it seems that it is more reasonable for her to lie on the kang and die at this time.
And what's more, those super good-eyed maids have found out, who is that, she, as the little grandmother of Liufu, why doesn't she comb the woman's bun, with a pair of maiden rings on her head, oops, what kind of moth is this little dumb person playing?
The courtyard of the eldest lady was silent.
Their footsteps were contrasted loudly, poof, poof, and move towards the door of the eldest lady's house.
In this process, the orchid grass squinted and glanced at the plum tree next to it, and the flowers bloomed a lot, they were red plums, and the petals were as bright as blood.
When they reached the front of the steps, the two pairs of feet stopped, but there was no one at the door, presumably the people were waiting for the master to finish eating, and they were busy eating.
The dumb aunt ducked to the side a little and took a deep look at the bluegrass.
Lancao suddenly tensed, and her legs and stomach were shaking.
The cotton curtain hangs quietly in front of you, dividing the inside and outside of the door into two different worlds.
"Don't be afraid, with me-let-go-"
The mute girl's voice was soft. It was as light as the slightest gust of wind, and only the bluegrass could hear it.
Lancao gritted her teeth, gulped a mouthful of saliva, suddenly straightened her chest, lifted the curtain herself, and before the curtain fell, her small figure had already flashed into the door quickly.
The most common in the north is to spread the big kang, the kang is covered with the wool woven carpet that is famous in the whole Lingzhou Prefecture, and the carpet is covered with a soft cotton thread thin blanket, the whole kang people sit very comfortably, several single wool satin mattresses are only spread out when sleeping at night, and they are stacked up and neatly placed on the kang qin in the middle during the day.
Chen's body leaned on a square brown silk embroidered black silk thread trim pillow, and while saying this idly, he gently patted his body in the quilt.
In order to make it easier for her to speak, Bai Ziqi moved a stool close to the side of the kang, and while talking with her aunt, she glanced at the person who was still humming and chirping under the comfort of her aunt.
The white silk round pillow was soft and soft, but the head on the pillow was very uncomfortable, humming a few times for a while, and humming a few times for a while.
Chen could only whisper and whisper, coax and pat gently.
"Daddy is bad, why can he ride a horse by himself, but he just leaves Wan'er outside? ”
On the round head, a sentence muttered out of the ingot-shaped mouth.
Chen pressed his ear, "Who said that Daddy doesn't want Wan'er anymore, it's because the snow is thick, the road is slippery, and the carriage is not easy to walk, Daddy is reluctant to ask Wan'er to ride a horse, in case it hurts Wan'er's body, and my mother is distressed-"
The ingot's mouth still didn't follow, and he lied vaguely, "Daddy doesn't hurt Wan'er anymore, does he? If it hurts, he won't leave Wan'er and Uncle Zhong outside, does he plan to leave Wan'er out to feed the wolf? Daddy now has a little brother, so he will hurt the little brother, right?"
Chen, who had been listening to soft words, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and turned his eyes to the nephew opposite.
Bai Ziqi was also looking at her aunt with clear eyes.
Chen sighed and shook his head, "Silly boy, you will say stupid things that others dare not say, but Brother Qi, don't you think that sometimes stupid words are also the truth? You have also seen that every time you come to dinner, your uncle-in-law comes to accompany us, this time, he only came to meet you in a hurry, and it will be difficult to see him in the past two days." Alas, it is no wonder that when people have a healthy and intelligent son, who is as lovely as a pink bud and a flower, how can he want to come to me to listen to a fool crying and crying and making noise. ”
This involves other people's housework, it is a husband and wife relationship, and there are father-son interests, Bai Ziqi knows that he is not easy to intervene as an outsider, and he is a junior, how can the younger generation comment on the affairs of the elders casually, he can only focus on looking at the little cousin on the pillow with a pale yellow face and a sick face.
A man approached silently and fell to his knees on the blue brick ground under the edge of the kang.
The embarrassment was broken.
The two of them brushed together to see the strange intruder.
Emerald green tunics, blue-gray pleated skirts, combed two simplest buns.
It's a ring.
"What are you doing here? Who told you to come in here?"
Chen's voice was very soft, for fear of waking up Liu Wan, who had just fallen asleep peacefully.
In just one sentence, it contains as much information as possible.
I know who you are, who is next to you, I don't welcome you here, you shouldn't have broken in without permission, you have already made me very unhappy, if it weren't for the fear of making a noise to Brother Wan, I would have blasted you out.
Lancao didn't expect Cousin Bai to be here, she didn't dare to look at him, she tried to support herself with one breath, kowtowed, her voice was clear, and her speech was clear, "Big lady, Lancao has something to see you." ”
Chen's eyes froze, I don't know the dead little hooves, didn't you see that Brother Wan was sleeping, don't you quit quickly, even if there is a big matter, you have to wait for Brother Wan to wake up before mentioning it, you are good, you don't have any eyesight.
There is only one thing that can make an unwanted little girl ring run in rashly at the risk of committing a crime, and that is the business of the dead. Is there anything bigger in this world besides life and death?
She knew it in her heart, and her tone was not so stern, and she said lightly: "Isn't it okay?" Go to Sister-in-law Zhang, she will send someone to deal with the aftermath, and when you send your little grandmother away, you don't have to stay in that corner courtyard, go and ask Mama Li to see which house is short of manpower, you just go to the top." Go--good boy, you are so young, and it's pitiful to be frightened like this, go-"
In the end, the voice was very soft, very soft, and it contained extremely sincere compassion.
Lancao raised her head, stared at the kind white face, and said in her heart that the little grandmother is really a god, and sure enough, the eldest lady would say so. Could it be that the little grandmother is a roundworm in the stomach of the eldest lady, or can she actually pinch and calculate, and she already knows what others want to say in their stomachs?
As soon as I saw that the little grandmother's first step was right, Lancao suddenly had the courage to continue, and her heart was suddenly less afraid, and her body was not so cold, with a faint smile on her small face: "Big lady, the slave didn't come to report the funeral to you, my little grandmother didn't die." ”
After saying that, she stared back at the rich and full face.
Suddenly, there was a sense of happiness in her heart after the prank succeeded, and she secretly laughed in her heart.
She has lived a life of being bullied at will by people all these years, a master like the eldest lady, how dare she set a trap with words like this, and then watched the other party step by step into the trap and make her expected reaction.
The little grandmother is really a god and a man.
Sure enough, the eldest lady's pupils instantly concentrated and spread, and then the anger quickly spread, distorting this peaceful face into an ugly one.
"You're not dead, what are you going to do? Why don't you leave quickly? Don't you think I'm not messy enough here?"
If it weren't for the nephew of Qingzhou Mansion in front of her, would she still be able to maintain a good posture and expression.
It's because she's here to make trouble.
It's really messing up.
The orchid grass continued to make a mess, "Grandma wants to move the plum tree in your yard to our corner yard, and our little grandmother wants to collect all those plum blossoms and keep them for use." ”
No matter how good Liu Chen's cultivation is, he almost spurts out a mouthful of old blood at this time.
Someone smiled lightly, "Oh, you have taken a fancy to the plum tree in your aunt's yard?
It was Bai Ziqi who interjected and asked.
As soon as Cousin Bai spoke, Lan Cao felt that a bright light suddenly flashed in the originally dark room.
He's talking to me, he's talking to my bluegrass!
She restrained her heartbeat and shyness, and lowered her eyebrows towards Gongzi, "If you go back to Gongzi, the slave and maid are the maids who are closely served by Brother Wan's children's daughter-in-law, and her name is Lancao." ”
How much she wants to say that we actually know each other, in the back garden, you helped me out of trouble, saved me from the siege of snowballs and snowballs, have you forgotten?
"Oh-" Bai Ziqi suddenly laughed.
I thought it was the maid ring in the aunt's house, so what she said was on behalf of the aunt's wife, if an aunt dared to openly come to the eldest lady to ask for a tree, it would not just be a trivial matter of a tree, but the concubine was demonstrating to the main house or forcing the palace.
Besides, the object of this is really strange, not the head of jewelry, not clothes and money, but a tree, which is really rare.
I didn't expect it to be the child daughter-in-law.
Hey, I seem to have seen this girl ring somewhere, and it's a little familiar.
I can't remember, Cousin Bai, the son of Pianpian Jia, as soon as he entered the Liufu Gate, it became a fragrant bait in the eyes of all the fat fans, and countless young ladies and girls were vying to give him courtesy and flattery, and the flowers in front of him were one after another, where could he still notice a little girl.
Chen is not as interested in talking to Yahuan as her nephew, there was a chill in her voice, "You go to Mama Li, ask her to send you directly to the laundry room, you don't have to go to the corner courtyard in the future, as for Brother Wan's daughter-in-law, since she loves to serve flowers and plants, send her to the backyard firewood room to help first, she can watch the flowers and branches every day when spring begins, and the good days will be long." ”
She bit the last long word hard and dragged it out for a long time.
She was really angry, she couldn't bear it anymore.
