Chapter XXXIII
Early the next morning, the general's mansion sent the mother-in-law who followed the car over, and Mrs. Bai went out to the general's mansion, and before leaving, she specially asked Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun to accompany Bai Qiyu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After breakfast, Bai Shihua took Indigo to Evian Pavilion.
"Why do you think I'm such a sister?" Bai Shihua grumbled angrily as she walked.
Indigo only listened quietly, but didn't dare to say anything.
On the garden path outside the courtyard of Evian Pavilion, Bai Shihua met Bai Liuyun, who also came to see Bai Qiyu, the face that was almost exactly the same as Bai Qiyu, it was really annoying to smile and smile!
Bai Shihua raised her eyebrows and smiled from afar, "It's a sister, it's so early." ”
The Willow Garden is a little further away from Evian Pavilion.
Bai Liuyun turned her head and shouted "Fourth Sister" with a smile, and stood up waiting for her to approach, "I thought Fourth Sister was painting in the garden at this moment." ”
In addition to embroidery on weekdays, Bai Shihua will paint when she is free, and the spring flowers and autumn moon are rich and splendid, but they are also soft and exquisite.
"Since my mother has commanded me, I will naturally obey it. "Even if you don't want to, you still have to obey.
"Sister is really a good daughter of her mother!" When Bai Shihua approached, Bai Liuyun covered her veil and chuckled.
In Evian Pavilion, Bai Qiyu drank the medicine and lay on the bed looking at Qiushui and Wen Ying's embroidered purse, and when he heard the voice of the maid in the yard, Bai Qiyu said, "Just say that I slept." As he spoke, he tucked the corners of the quilt and closed his eyes slightly.
Wen Ying looked funny, "Miss, how can you avoid people!"
Bai Qiyu was silent, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
"Seventh sister is better today?"
"Miss Lao Si and Miss Six are worried, she is already better, but her head still hurts a little, and she is falling asleep after drinking the medicine at this time. Qiushui replied, and invited the two of them to sit on the big kang by the window of the compartment.
Bai Liuyun covered her nose in disgust, "The smell of medicine in this room is really smoking!"
Wen Ying said with a smile on the tea, "This is the osmanthus tea in the cellar of Miss Seven, warm and fragrant, it is just right to drink it on such a cold day, the two young ladies taste it." ”
Bai Shihua glanced at Yun Ying and said in a weird manner, "I haven't seen Sister Wenying speak so well before, I think it's because I've been with Seventh Sister for a long time and even my speech is much more eloquent." Saying that, Wan Er smiled, "Sixth sister, am I right?"
"This kind of Sister Wenying is much better than the previous Mu Ne, it can be seen that the seventh sister is a ...... who can train people."
Wen Ying only smiled, "The slave maid is a stupid person, but she also happens to like flower tea, and she used to serve tea by her wife's side." ”
Bai Liuyun glanced at Yun Ying with a smile, and took another sip of tea, "Seventh Sister, this tea is more mellow than the ones on the market." ”
"Not really...... I don't know when the seventh sister will be fine, this has just come to Beijing, how can I go to see the eldest sister and the second sister, in a few days it will be Mrs. Tai's birthday, and the seventh sister will delay things if she goes on like this. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Shihua had a change in her heart, what if the seventh sister couldn't go to the birthday banquet?
I don't think Madame will let herself go because she is sick......
Bai Liuyun obviously thought of this, and said casually, "Seventh sister has to take care of it......"
Bai Qiyu listened to it funny in the inner room, these two people obviously didn't want to sit here, but they still sat here chatting with different hearts, obviously absent-minded.
"That's it...... Is the seventh sister still asleep?" A quarter of an hour passed, and Bai Shihua finally couldn't sit still.
Qiushui went to the inner room to take a look, and came out and replied, "Miss Seven is still asleep, I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up......"
"In that case, let's go back first and let the seventh sister have a good rest. Bai Shihua stood up as she spoke.
Bai Liuyun also got up at the right time to say goodbye.
Wen Ying sent the two to the gate of the hospital before returning.
Bai Qiyu sat up and leaned on the bed, and let out a long breath, "It's finally gone!"
Qiushui said with a smile, "If Miss is like this, if Miss Fourth and Miss Six know about it, she won't be angry!"
"You can find an excuse to go out of the house later--don't go out through the main entrance, just go out through the corner door on the kitchen side...... Hire a carriage to deliver a letter from Sister Su. He took out the letter under the pillow and asked her to bring ten taels of silver.
Wen Ying came into the house, and Qiushui was loading the letter and going out, "This is?"
Qiushui smiled, "Miss asked me to go out of the house to do something." ”
I just arrived in Beijing, and I am not familiar with life, what do I have to do?
Wen Ying is curious, but she is not stupid enough to ask, she should know, and Miss will naturally tell her.
This white mansion in the capital is smaller than the ancestral house in Linfeng City, and there are many fewer people, except for a few maids and wives on duty arranged by each courtyard and the family members in the outer courtyard, there are not many people, so that the whole garden is often quiet.
Qiushui walked all the way to the kitchen, but did not meet anyone, only occasionally faintly heard the voice of a maid and servant woman talking.
There is a corner door in the small courtyard where the kitchen is located, which is specially for the convenience of delivering vegetables, rice grains and firewood, and there is always a gatekeeper watching.
It was still early before lunchtime, and the courtyard was quiet, only the mother-in-law on the corner gate was taking a nap in the sun.
Qiushui approached and called, the mother-in-law was a little more awake, and when she looked up, she saw that it was a maid with a raw face, dressed decently, it should be the person brought by the master's new arrival in Beijing.
The gatekeeper got up and smiled a little flatteringly, "This sister is new to Beijing, right?
"Our young lady loves to make fragrances, and I heard that there is a new makeup powder in the Red Powder Pavilion, no, let me take a look at it and see if there is anything I can learn from. Qiushui smiled, quietly stuffed two cents of broken silver into her sleeve, and asked her where the nearest car dealership was.
That woman has nothing to do on weekdays, and she doesn't have some rewards like those who do things in the garden, and it is the first time that she has been so generous and directly rewarded with silver like today, but she is very happy!
"Sister, although you are busy, my wife is still basking in the sun here. ”
Qiushui nodded at her and smiled and went out.
There is a quiet alley outside the corner gate, and when you go out to the right is the Sanxian Hutong, and then you go out to the left is a main street, which is lively.
Shops and liquor shops lined up along the street, walking all the way in the direction that the mother-in-law said, the hustle and bustle in the ears continued, and Qiushui had the feeling that he had arrived in the capital.
When I was about to get to the car dealership, two men with shoulders and backs came crookedly, and I smelled a large smell of wine from a distance, and I saw that I had just finished drinking wine and came out of the restaurant.
Before the person who was hit could speak, the two men who hit the person had already walked towards Qiushui, and one of the young men who was white and slightly chubby scolded with a smile, "This little lady is so delicate, do you want Young Master Ben to help you?"
Qiushui hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back, avoiding the man's outstretched arm, patted the dust on his body, and frowned, "Please also ask the son to respect himself." ”
"Self-respect?" the two men looked at each other and laughed, "The little lady knows what self-respect is? Come on, come on, this young master will teach you!"
The two of them straddled towards Qiushui, and there were more and more onlookers, but they were all looking at jokes, and Qiushui couldn't help but panic.
"You, how rude!" Qiu Shui shouted calmly, taking a few steps back.
The white man smiled, stepped forward and grabbed Qiushui's wrist, Qiushui struggled in panic and shouted, "Let go! Help!
Not far away, in a restaurant, the man in front of the window turned his head to look at the voice when he heard the voice, and when he saw Qiushui's face, he frowned slightly, is she?
"That girl, save her. ”
The dignified man standing behind him was slightly stunned, immediately nodded "yes", and walked downstairs quickly.
"Let go of me, I'm from the General's Mansion!" Qiushui hurriedly reported the signboard of the General's Mansion.
The two men were stunned when they heard this, and before they could react, their arms were suddenly grabbed and slammed, and the whole person was directly a dog eating, and his arms also made a crisp rattling sound. Suddenly, a heart-rending scream spread throughout the street.
Seeing that his companion was at a loss, the other man reacted and hurriedly stepped back, "A good man spares his life...... Heroic Rao...... Ahh
I saw that the man in black raised his hand and knocked him to the ground with a punch, and his nose bleeded and his face was confused.
The two of them fell to the ground and rolled and howled, and the man in black shouted coldly, "Don't get out yet!"
The words came out as if they had been amnestied, and the two of them almost ran away in a hurry.
The onlookers all applauded noisily at this time.
Qiu Shui stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you for the rescue!"
The man in black waved his hand carelessly, and was about to leave, but when he turned his head, he saw two cold lights from the window, and suddenly stopped.
I had to ask Qiushui stubbornly, "Where are you going, girl?"
Qiushui looked in the direction he turned his head in surprise, and only saw a silhouette, which was a little familiar.
"I'm going to Li's house in Huaishu Hutong. ”
The man asked, "But what else do you need help with?"
Qiushui hurriedly waved his hand and thanked him again, "No need, I'll just go to the carriage and horse shop and rent a carriage." ”
When the man heard this, he said, "There is a carriage and horse shop next to here, and it is inconvenient for the girl to be alone, so why don't I accompany you." ”
"This ...... Trouble the righteous. Qiushui hesitated for a moment, but nodded in response.
First, she is not familiar with Jingli, and secondly, what happened just now still makes her feel palpitations.
And this person who helped himself was obviously obedient to others, and that person was so familiar......
Qiushui tried to think about it as he followed the man to the carriage and horses.
The man helped her rent a black painted flat-headed carriage, and had to pay for the carriage and horses for her, Qiushui naturally refused, insisted on paying the money himself, and the man didn't care much, sent her into the car, and then left.
The man in the restaurant watched the carriage turn around the street and disappear, and the man who shot also came back, "Second master......
Hearing the news of the report, the man known as the second master said lightly, "Send someone to check the relationship between the Li Mansion and her, as well as the purpose of the maid's departure today." ”
The man in black covered up his surprise and respectfully responded "yes", he heard it right, the "she" that the second master said was obviously not the "she" he had just saved.
