Chapter 10 Watching the Theater
As soon as Hua Lianyue's words fell, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the house, the footsteps came from far and near, and one of the girls spoke a slightly harshly voice that was particularly abrupt: "It's better to be a second sister, stay in the house all day long to sew and mend, and you don't have to worry about not being able to do your homework and being beaten by the master." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Third sister, the eldest lady said that the second sister should prepare for marriage with peace of mind, and we are not allowed to come and disturb. ”
"What are you afraid of? your sisters can't be disturbed, do you want to wait until the night and secretly let others disturb you?"
Hua Lianyue subconsciously looked at Li Ruolan, and saw that her face was pale, and the slender jade hand holding the embroidery needle trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Hua Lianyue was afraid that she would accidentally stab herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the needle and thread from her hand, and asked curiously, "Who is from outside?"
Li Ruolan came back to her senses and said gloomily: "It's my third sister Li Ruxiang and fourth sister Li Youhui." ”
Hua Lianyue said with some suspicion: "They are so mean, are they really your own sister?"
Li Ruolan sighed slightly and said, "They are all the bloodline of the Li family, so they are naturally my own sisters." A fleur showed a touch of helplessness on her face.
Hua Lianyue was so smart that she immediately understood the meaning of her words. The two girls who were talking to Meng Lang outside were most likely from the favored aunt of the Li Mansion. It seems that this soft second lady is usually secretly squeezed by their words.
However, these are other people's family affairs, and Hua Lianyue felt that she should not be involved, so she shut up and sat aside.
Suddenly, a gust of wind moved, and the aqua blue blessing brocade curtain was lifted, and two well-dressed girls walked in surrounded by maids.
"Hello second sister!" Li Ruxiang was wearing a blue silk shirt, obliquely combing a pretty fallen horse bun, and a string of crystal clear butterfly double-flower glass hairpins, obliquely-inserted-between her cloud-like black hair, shining when she walked. She has long curved eyebrows and a small cherry mouth, and she is also a beauty. Look at the age, it is almost the same as Li Ruolan.
But this is not surprising, after all, it is not strange that it does not crawl out of a mother's belly, and there is only a few hours between sisters.
Another girl in a yellow shirt is Li Youhui, who is only about twelve or thirteen years old. The body is not fully opened, and a round flour face is still a little tender baby fat. She also screamed softly: "Second sister is good." ”
"Ruxiang, Youhui, why are you here?" Li Ruolan hurriedly ordered: "Chuyun, go and pour tea." ”
Chu Yun is Li Ruolan's personal maid, and when she saw these two coming, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and hurriedly went to pour tea and get fresh pastries and fruits.
After entering the house and sitting down, Li Ruxiang and Li Youhui couldn't help but look up and down. Li Ruolan hurriedly introduced the two: "This is the flower woman. ”
The corners of Hua Lianyue's mouth twitched, although she liked the name of a woman very much. But being called by people every day, she asked herself whether she was incompetent. So he hurriedly said: "Second Miss is polite, just call me a flower girl!"
Over there, Li Ruxiang's mouth showed a disdainful chuckle, and she said softly: "It turned out to be a flower girl, and I was still the second sister, and there were Meng Lang's disciples in this house." It's obviously a woman, but she wants to wear a man's clothes to show off everywhere, it's really immoral!"
Hua Lianyue was suddenly choked and rolled her eyes, this is the meaning of a god horse, do you pinch it when you see the first side? Or is this third lady a hedgehog, and she will prick someone when she sees it.
She goes out and wears men's clothes more for the convenience of her movements. Even if people recognize the identity of a woman, most of them laugh it off. It's the first time I've been scolded by someone pointing at my nose today, and it's really ...... Fresh!
Hua Lianyue is definitely not the kind of master who spits on herself, so she smiled lightly and said, "It turns out that wearing men's clothes in the eyes of the third girl is immoral." Then I want to ask, what is the crime of disrespecting the eldest sister, chasing after the wind and shadows, and swaggering with tongues? Presumably, the third lady herself is not very clear, why don't we go and ask Mrs. Li together, how about it?"
Li Ruxiang sighed in her heart and began to look Hua Lianyue up and down again. She has always been beautiful and not inferior to Li Ruolan, plus she has a clever tongue, Master Li and Mrs. Li were coaxed by her. made her have a delusion, and she always felt that she was only pressed by this sister-in-law who was only a month older than herself because she was not a grandson.
Take marriage as an example, why can a beautiful but boring sister marry a high-ranking prefect, but she can only be married to the son of an ordinary merchant.
When she heard that there were thieves in Li Ruolan's yard that night, she actually had a vicious pleasure in her heart. She can't wait for Li Ruolan's reputation to be ruined like this, if she is divorced, she may have the opportunity to replace her as the prefect's wife.
It's a pity that such a nosy flower woman descended out of thin air, so that her unsightly dark thoughts were in vain. So the first time she saw Hua Lianyue, she couldn't help but want to stab a few words.
Li Ruxiang subconsciously went to see Li Ruolan, but saw that she was usually cowardly and submissive, but at this moment she turned her head expressionlessly, and her cold eyes looked through the carved mahogany window lattice, and looked at the Xifu begonia that was blooming brightly under the corridor. A delicate wood hibiscus on the sideburns, and the rouge mole in the center of her eyebrows, set off her complexion as white as jade, surprisingly moving.
Li Youhui is still young in the end, and she is naturally timid. She couldn't help but pull Li Ruxiang's sleeve, and said timidly: "Third sister, Madame can say it, if anyone in the house talks about the thieves that night, they will be beaten to death, you better say a few words!"
Li Ruxiang's face became more and more ugly, she stood up suddenly, and said menacingly: "What do you mean by the second sister? I and the fourth sister are afraid that you have been wronged, so we specially came to visit you, do you just watch an outsider bully your sister like this?"
Li Ruolan smiled lightly when she heard this, she turned her head, looked at Li Ruxiang with an uncertain face, and said slowly: "Our sisters are closed doors, so naturally we can say anything." But the third sister can read and read, and she should also know the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost.
As an outsider, Hua Girl also knows how to save the face of our Li Mansion. But what the third sister said and did today is she trying to bring shame on the entire Li Mansion? When the time comes, gossip will be like a sword to kill people, do you think any of our girls in the Li Mansion will be able to escape?"
Hua Lianyue almost applauded Li Ruolan's words, but she thought that Li Ruolan was gentle and cowardly, and she had always pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. But think about it, Mrs. Li is so shrewd, how can she marry a useless daughter into the official family.
When Li Ruxiang left, her face was like ashes. She only learned today that she had always been a clown in the eyes of this gentle second sister. She was originally inferior and proud, so she would be unforgiving. This time, he was obedient to Li Ruolan's lesson, and he was powerless to refute it.
Without any pressure, she did a melon-eating crowd and watched a house fight full of invisible gunsmoke, Hua Lianyue felt enjoyable, but also very glad that she was just an unrelated spectator. According to his temperament, it is estimated that in such a deep house compound, he will not survive the day of marriage.
