After Mama Yang and the others left, the housekeeper looked at the two little girls in front of her and said, "You are Jin Xing and Jin Lian." Pen%Fun%Ge www.biquge.info you call me Huang Ma, everyone calls me that. Since you have come here, you should know that this is the girl's quarters, and now the girl has been resting at her grandmother's recently, and the girl will not rest here during this time, but the girl will come back every now and then to sit down, and your daily work is to keep the house clean inside and out. After saying that, he led the two of them around the courtyard and told them which places needed to be cleaned up and which places needed attention; finally opened a subordinate room, and told them that this was the room where they lived, and today they had just entered the house to let them tidy up properly, and the bedding should be used to wait for her to receive it. Shen Shi was going to clean the yard, and when he had finished the order, he would leave them alone.

As soon as Huang Ma left, the two of them were no longer restrained; unlike Jin Lian, who jumped up and down with a beaming face, Jin Xing only quickly swept around, the house was simply furnished, and the house was a little dusty because no one lived in it, and wailed in her heart: "I know that this is the case, hey, I only had time to drink half a bowl of gruel in a hurry in the morning, and I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I was close to my back after a day of running, and now I must have passed noon and there was no lunch in the house; fortunately, I only drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and I was afraid that I was hungry and stole a steamed bun, and now I just ate it as lunch." ”

Seeing that Jin Lian was still looking around, he walked over and patted her on the shoulder and asked her, "Are you hungry?" After listening to her words, Jin Lian touched her stomach and flattened her mouth: "I wasn't hungry, but I was a little hungry when I heard you say this." ”

Jin Xing didn't say much when she heard this, took out a steamed bun from her arms, broke it in half, handed it to Jin Lian, and the other half had already eaten it.

When Jin Xing took out the steamed buns, Jin Lian stared at her in surprise, to be precise, staring at her chest and steamed buns, it is estimated that she didn't even know that she had taken the half of the steamed buns herself.

"You, why are you hiding the steamed buns here!" Jin Lian finally said with a heartache on her face

"Inexplicably, what's wrong with hiding this, I don't want to learn from you. "The steamed buns are cold, some are hard, not very delicious, and now there is no water, so I can only chew and swallow slowly.

"How can this be the same, your new clothes, new clothes, can you compare with our old clothes! Jin Lian was heartbroken, and after talking for a long time, seeing that Jin Xing was still gnawing on the steamed bun so slowly, she was angry and stretched out her hand to push her: "I said so much, have you heard it? ”

Jin Xing just finished eating the steamed bun in her hand and licked the steamed bun crumbs that fell on her hand, and then looked at Jin Lian and said when she saw that the steamed bun in her hand had not moved: "You don't eat the steamed bun?"

"Ah" Jin Lian didn't react for a while, and then followed Jin Xing's gaze and saw the steamed bun in her hand, and immediately understood: "Eat, of course eat, but I'm hungry." As he spoke, he hurriedly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and ate it in a big gulp.

"Well, I said you eat slowly, this steamed bun is cold, hard and dry. Seeing that Jin Lian was eating so urgently, Jin Xing reminded loudly. After speaking, he ignored her, turned around and found two stools, patted off the dust on them, handed them to Jin Lian to sit on by herself, stretched out his feet, "Take a break, wait for a while, there will be some busy." ”

Sitting quietly and resting for a while, Jin Xing felt a little stuffy, the air in the room was not very good, looked left and right, stood up and walked to a window, and wanted to open the window, but the altitude was not enough and his arms were too short, so he could only go back and move the stool;

Jin Xing jumped off the stool neatly, dragged the stool back, and patted Jin Lian, "Have you rested enough?" There is so much dust in this room, we have to get some water to wash and then sort out our bed, otherwise how can we live here." ”

Jin Lian nodded against her previous excitement, stood up and walked towards the door with Jin Xing. As soon as she went out, Jin Lian exclaimed, "Ah, no. Jin Xing was startled, reached out and patted her little heart, very speechless, "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Lian was a little embarrassed to see that she was frightened, "I, I mean to say that we will wear this clothes to work?" Jin Xing rolled her eyes, "This clothes again." ”

"I, I'm only getting this new dress when I'm so old, can I not ・・・・・・" Jin Lian said with some grievances and stopped.

"Hey!" Jin Xing sighed, she also knew that the clothes of the children of poor families were basically changed from adult clothes. In the past eight years, whether it is clothes, pants, socks and shoes, these are all changed from their old clothes by her mother in this life. After wearing the old clothes for so many years, there is suddenly a good and beautiful new clothes, which child is not ecstatic, even as an adult, is a little happy; like Jin Lian is so nervous, this dress is carefully cared for everywhere, it is a good example in a poor family, but it is really not possible in such a rich and noble house.

"You have also seen the grandmothers and maids in this mansion, their dresses and dresses are incomparable to ours, you dare to wear those old clothes to go out, see if they don't say that you have fallen into the reputation of Xue Mansion. ”

"Yes, anyway, this house also takes care of our clothes, and we'll ask in two days, so let's hurry up and fetch water." Jin Lian figured it out when she thought about it.

The two of them came back from fetching water, cleaned up all the furniture in the house and placed it neatly on the sweeping floor, fortunately, there were few things in the house, otherwise the two eight-year-old children would not be tired enough to choke. The house was initially cleaned up, and the two went out to look for Huang's mother, who asked for sheets, bedding and a pair of utensils; at this time, it was a little late, and it was too late to tidy up, so they hurriedly put down and went to clean the courtyard.

In the morning, I only ate half a bowl of gruel, and at noon I didn't eat a drop of water, so I gnawed half a steamed bun not long ago, and I was a little dizzy for a while. This is Jin Xing's inner thoughts now. After drinking the water, I took a handful of water and washed my face, which made me feel a little more comfortable; now it was early summer and it was not cold to take a cold water on my face, and when Jin Lian came over with a broom, she didn't say anything when she saw her washing her cold water face.

"You're here, I've just drunk a lot of water, and I'm still hungry but I'm better than just now, why don't you come too?" Jin Xing saw Jin Lian coming over and beckoned her to drink water, Jin Lian nodded, and the two of them worked together to beat a bucket of water, Jin Lian and Jin Xing drank it fiercely, and then the two of them worked together to draw water until the big bucket next to it was full, Jin Xing scooped the water into another bucket and then carried the small bucket and began to sprinkle water, Jin Lian followed with a broom and swept behind.

This movement attracted a little maid about the same age as them, and the girl happily ran over to them and said, "You are new here today, my name is Qin'er, the girl gave me the name, the girl went to grandma and left me here to guard the house, what is your name?"

"Golden Lotus"

"Golden Apricot"

"Oh, Jin Lian Jin Xing, I won't play with you now, you hurry up, I'll go to your room and call you when we eat, you can follow me later, I'll go first." With that, he turned and ran away.

A girl named Qin'er ran over and said a lot, and the two of us said a total of four words, and she turned around and ran away, just like a tornado, really fast! But in general, it's good, I didn't see Jin Lian smiling like a flower, both of them are almost hungry, and now dinner has fallen, can you be unhappy?

Because they were thinking about dinner, the two quickly finished their work today; when they returned to the house, they began to clean up the bed and set up a set of daily utensils, and in the process of cleaning up, Jin Lian kept muttering: "Why haven't you come yet", "Why haven't you come yet" and so on; although Jin Xing didn't talk, her eyes glanced at the door from time to time.

Finally, in the midst of the thousands of calls of the two, Qin'er came. As soon as Qin'er came in, Jin Lian ran over with red eyes, pulled her and said with a little crying: "You're here."

Qin'er was startled when she saw her like this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Lian didn't wait for Jin Lian to answer, Jin Xing smiled and said: "Hungry and anxious" Jin Lian saw Jin Xing laughing at her, and said more anxiously: "You are not hungry, if you are not hungry, who is staring at the door just now!" Jin Xing saw that the little Jin Lian who was staring at her anger was very cute and smiled even more happily, and she didn't take Jin Lian's words; Jin Lian saw that Jin Xing was not angry at revealing her short, but laughed more happily, but she didn't understand it, so she sulked there by herself, and her pouting mouth could hang an oil bottle.

"What's wrong with you, are you hungry? We have to wait for the masters to eat well before we can eat after we are servants, usually around this time. Although Qian'er didn't quite understand what was wrong with them, she knew that they had been waiting for her, so she explained.

"Nothing, we said on the way. Jin Xing pulled Qin'er and walked out, and when she saw that Jin Lian was still sulking, she said to her, "Let's go, let's eat." Jin Lian flattened her mouth when she heard that she was going to eat, and she followed, for her, nothing was as big as eating.

On the way, Jin Xing explained to Qin'er the reason for the previous referral, and inquired about the affairs of Xue Mansion without a trace, and Jin Lian also interjected from time to time, and the relationship between the three of them was rapidly improved.
