The old lady looked at the half-squatting girl in front of Dao Wanfu, the azure crepe clothes, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with a few purple magnolias, beautiful and elegant, the skirt of the same color was a circle of silver silk wrapping, and the lake-green plain satin embroidered shoes slightly exposed the toes, with a beautiful posture and elegant manners.

The old lady sighed in her heart, it would be great if it was really the flesh and blood of the Xiao family, but it was a pity. With a straight face, Fang said slowly: "Why don't you go to your mother to make decisions about today's matter, but come to me?"

Le Yu was stunned, and sure enough, ginger was old and spicy, and the old lady asked the idea in one sentence. Le Yu calmed down and said slowly: "Back to grandmother, when my granddaughter first found out, she was also in a hurry, and yesterday she said that she would give cherries to the elders to try, but she couldn't take them out at this time, so what should I do? In the final analysis, grandmother is the head of the family, and after going through so many storms, she will be able to be the backbone of her granddaughter. “

Raising his head slightly, his admiration flashed, and then he lowered his head in slight fear. The old lady sighed in her heart, this girl is also a smart character, in the past, she only knew that she was naïve and ignorant to work piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now she is also a good speaker.

In all fairness, the old lady's heart softened slightly, and she raised her hand: "Get up." You are not small, you have to be careful about the things in your yard, your grandmother can help you once, she can't help you twice, and you have to show some strength to be able to handle people. “

Le Yu said gratefully: "Yes, Grandmother Xie taught, and my granddaughter remembered." There were tears in his eyes, as if he was very excited. The old lady sighed secretly, and waved her hand to let her go back.

Leyu didn't go back when she came out, but went straight to Yaohuaju, and her mother was afraid that she was still worried. When I entered the door, I saw Le Xian accompanying Gu Shi and comforting him softly, and Gu Shi looked at Le Xian with a look of affection.

Le Yu was a little uncomfortable and coughed, "Mother, big sister." When Gu heard this, he hurriedly got up and pulled Le Yu over, "Did your grandmother scold you?" Le Yu shook her head and said softly: "Grandmother didn't scold me, teach me how to manage slaves." “

Gu Shi let go of a hanging heart, Le Xian stared at Le Yu, doubts and vigilance rose in her heart, was today's incident an accident, or did she know......

But seeing Le Yu said generously: "Big sister, the cherries are gone, I will ask someone to send you some plum preserves I made later." “

Le Xian was slightly relieved, maybe she was thinking too much, wasn't Le Yu's eyes calm? If this smoke is not good, forget it, and choose another good one to make up for it. “

Le Yu sneered in her heart, do you still want to control the next one? Gu Shi also said: "Yes, you have to be careful this time, but don't be such an unconscious person anymore." Otherwise, let Fang Yi next to me come over and serve first. “

Leyu just smiled, "No need, mother." I still have embroidery clothes with me, and as for the candidates, the girl I bought tomorrow should come. “

Le Xian was surprised: "What girl?" Le Yu brushed the dust that did not exist on her body, and said with a smile: "I came back from the Jokhang Temple yesterday and bought the girl who sold her body, and she will come tomorrow after taking care of the funeral."

Le Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of disapproval, and said with a slight smile: "The fourth sister gave her money, how can you be sure that she will come tomorrow?

Le Yu sensitively noticed that the faces of the several girls present were a little uncomfortable, and deliberately smiled: "What the big sister said is true, but although they are slaves, there are many diligent and loyal masters, and they promise a thousand dollars." For example, the eldest sister's brocade book Qingmo, who has served the eldest sister for so many years, has always been loyal, and he doesn't slander and play tricks, right? ”

Le Xian's smile froze, and she pretended to be calm: "The two of them are indeed loyal. When they came back from Yaohuaju, Xiu Ji and Ling Ge wiped their tears and said to Le Yu: "Girl, although Yanwu herself is ignorant and has ended up here, but it's a good sister, we want to pack up the things in her room and send them to the second door to give her." ”

Le Yu is not good at saying that she is a traitor to seek glory, after all, she has not done anything to betray herself in this life, so she also sighed and said: "Today's facts can't be hidden, it's not that I refuse to intercede for her, after all, the master and servant for many years, embroidery, packed up and took ten taels of silver from my box and gave it to her, so that she can do it herself." ”

Xiu Shu wiped her tears gratefully, the girl is really benevolent and benevolent, Yanwu herself is indecent and tired of the girl, the girl also gave her silver to settle down, where can you find such a master?

Early in the morning of the second day, the girl Jin Hai at Lerao's place sent a post and said with a smile: "Four girls, our girls set up a table on our side, and invite the girls to come over and play."

Le Yu played with the pink flower note and smiled faintly, "Since the second sister is gracious, but it is disrespectful, go back and tell the second sister, I will go in a while." ”

Jin Hai felt that there seemed to be a hint of coldness hidden in Le Yu's bland words, which made people shudder, so she couldn't help but shudder, smiled reluctantly, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Le Yu looked at Jin Hai's somewhat wolf figure, and the chill in her heart was even worse, thinking back, there was such a party in her previous life, and then she had a rash all over her face, and she couldn't even go to the Spring Festival. The reason for this is really intriguing.

Summoned the embroidered quilt to redress, Zhuji came in and led a girl in Tsing Yi, and said with a smile: "Girl, Qingmei is here." ”

Le Yu combed her long hair, and turned around to see it, but it was the girl who sold her body that day, it turned out that her name was Qingmei, Qingmei had knelt down respectfully, and made a big salute: "Slave maid Qingmei knocks on the girl, the girl Wan'an." ”

Le Yu's eyes flashed slightly, her posture rules were very good, and at first glance, she had been trained for many years, and it was definitely not an overnight effort. Le Yu was silent for a while, then waved her hand: "Zhuji, you go down first." ”

Zhuji and Xiuji were stunned for a moment, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to bow down. There were only two people left in the room, and in silence it seemed that they could hear the sound of beaded curtains swaying and smoke spitting incense.

Qingmei was still kneeling, her hands propped up on the scarlet carpet in full bloom, as steady as ever, not trembling at all. Le Yu stared at her picturesque eyebrows and black hair in the mirror, raised her hand slightly, and deftly pulled up her mustache with her own makeup, and said lightly: "Since you are here, it proves that you are an honest and trustworthy person, tell me your origin." ”

There was silence below, and it took a long time to hear a cold voice: "The slave maid was originally a girl from the Ding'an Palace, and she escaped because she was tortured, and met my master, who saved me and taught me a lot of skills, but in the end, the master was seriously ill and died miserably." I can't save Master, I always have to give her an old man a decent funeral, even if I give everything I have because of this, and then I will be imprisoned. ”

Le Yu finally turned around, Qingmei's cold face was already full of tears, mottled and intertwined, and the sadness in her eyes was real and credible, and it was definitely not a fake. Le Yu thought of herself, sighed lightly, and asked again: "Do you know many people in Ding'an Palace?"

Qingmei wiped away her tears and said: "I am just a rough girl in the palace, everyone knows me and bullies me, just because I have a black birthmark the size of a copper coin on my face." But now, no one will recognize me. ”

Le Yu was surprised, look at her carefully, her white and delicate cheeks are beautiful and flawless, where can you see where there are birthmarks?

Qingmei said embarrassedly: "The slave master is a strange person, and the birthmark on the slave's face was removed by the master after boiling countless kinds of medicines. Girl, it turned out to be in this position. She gestured to the next large chunk of her left eye.

Le Yu helped her up and sighed: "Your master is really a god, what have you learned?" Qingmei did not hide it, since she had decided to repay Le Yu for the rest of her life, there was no point in concealing it: "I have learned some medical skills, distinguish medicines, and have some superficial kung fu." ”

Le Yu secretly sighed that she had picked up the treasure, and said sincerely: "Since we are destined to meet, you can live with me in peace in the future." I don't treat you as a slave, and you don't treat me as a high master, and you will know after a long time. My three girls are all kind and easy to get along with, don't worry about it. ”

Saying that, he called in a few embroidered beads, let them see each other, and said with a smile: "In the future, Qingmei will be our family, and she will be short of Yanwu when Yanwu is gone, you guys will tell Qingmei about our family, so that she is familiar with it." ”

Zhuji was a little surprised, this new Qingmei was just rescued by the girl, how could she be a big girl when she came, and she sent them all out, and when she came in, she seemed to have tears on this Qingmei, what was going on? She suppressed the doubts in her heart, smiled and answered with the embroidery and them.
