Chapter 13: One for One
"I see that the old man has a good mind, and I want to look at An Ning's girl to please her?" The second lady came over early in the morning and saw that her master was in a good mind, and couldn't help but ask.
The second master sighed. "You said that we are doing this business, and there will be a city in the barracks in the future, and since it is an official, I am afraid that it will not be able to do business. ”
The second lady never thought about this, but which one is better for being an official and doing business? Naturally, she is an official, and although she is a woman who does not understand the court, she also knows the truth that a companion is like a tiger.
Doing business looks at the status as good as being an official, but what kind of expenses in the courtyard are not silver?
"You didn't speak in the early years, and now it's too late. The second lady replied strangely after listening to what her master said, and then asked Miao Lin to make the Biyun tea that the master loved to drink, and a beautiful spread soothed her mind.
"I think An Ning's girl is really smart, I heard Miao Lin say that she will go to literacy in the coming year, if I arrange for a gentleman to come and teach her, I don't have to go to the study hall to listen. ”
The second master has made up his mind, he doesn't want Gu Anning to go to the study hall to listen to Mr. Lecture, the study hall is full of the Gu family's sons and daughters, as well as those girls and boys who have entered the main courtyard, and it is not appropriate to have too many people.
When the second lady heard this, she didn't object, but her own master opened a ** generation and couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart.
"How did the master talk about this? ”
The second master smiled comfortably, but he didn't say the reason, and the second lady who provoked him was worried about it.

"Girl, you try this, tomorrow is the New Year, the kitchen has made a lot of cloud cakes, the slave maid brought some, I know that the girl wants to eat it!"
Bi Chun is the eldest girl in front of the eighth girl, seeing that the girl has a bad mind in the past two days, she went to the kitchen early in the morning to get the cloud flower cake, and said as soon as she entered the house.
When the eighth girl heard this, she didn't look at the pastry, and she would be very happy if it was changed to a normal day.
"Have you ever seen the glass beads, I heard the maid next to the fifth sister say, the glass beads are full of colorful light, and they are very good-looking. As he spoke, his body in a thick robe moved, and he was a little dissatisfied. "What kind of good things have fallen into the hands of others, I don't want to do it yet!"
Hearing her say, Bi Chun was stunned, only to know that his girl had been thinking badly for the sake of Liulizhu in the past two days, and said with a smile. "Why did the girl think about the glass beads? ”
After saying that, I thought about it again. "If you talk about beads, the eldest girl sent a lot of things back two days ago, including the white pearls from Hainan, round and white, but good-looking, Mrs. also specially asked people to make strings for the girl, and Ming'er can send it. ”
The Gu family wants to have a lot of white pearls, and there are a lot of tributes from other countries sent by the palace every year, but the glass beads are only available in the Nanzhu Kingdom, and they are also the tributes paid this year, and the total is only seven, but two fell into the hands of Gu Anning.
The eighth girl has always looked down on the ninth girl, the two were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, and when she talks about her birthday, she always thinks of Gu Anning's birthday, so she is very unhappy.
"Bi Chun, I went to take out the bracelet that my mother gave me last year and wrapped it and sent it to the South Courtyard, saying that I liked the glass beads and used this bracelet in exchange. ”
When the eighth girl said this, Bi Chun hesitated when she heard it. "Girl, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, if Mrs. knows, she will definitely punish the girl. ”
"I'm afraid, you can't even do this little thing, what's the use of me keeping you?" said the eighth girl and looked at Bi Chun angrily.
Seeing that his girl was angry, Bi Chun had no choice but to nod his head, and then he was in trouble again, and when he saw the girl glaring at her angrily, he had to go out. She wanted to go and talk to her wife, and after thinking about it, she understood a truth after staying in the main courtyard for so long.
Her master is the eighth girl, no matter how old the lady is, she is just a lady, if she goes to say it, not to say what the girl knows, the lady will definitely not say that she is good.
I wanted to hurriedly leave the compound and go to the south courtyard.
When Bi Chun came to Gu Anning's courtyard, Gu Anning was telling Qingzhu and Qingyuan to divide the paper-cuts in the past few days and prepare to send them to each compound.
Every year, the girls in the main courtyard have paper-cutting, and the patterns are getting different year by year, and they are sent to each main courtyard.
Qing Glaze was about to make a pot of hot tea, and saw the mother in charge talking to a maid at the door, and when she saw it, she recognized it as someone from the big house.
The clothes and hairstyles of the first-class maids in each main courtyard are different, which can be seen at a glance.
He simply went into the house again and said to his own girl. "Girl, there's someone from the big room, but let people in?"
Hearing this, Gu Anning looked outside the door. "Let people in!" said and put away the rice paper on the table, put down the pen and ink again, and frowned, her handwriting was not visible to others, but she knew that at most she could only recognize a word, and said that pen and ink were not counted.
Qingzhu heard that someone was coming from the big house, and he was curious about who was coming, so he pushed the paper-cut to Qingyuan, stood up and walked out to take a look. Qingyuan looked aggrievedly at the paper-cut that had been finally divided and was pushed away by Qingzhu, and muttered to Gu Anning. "Girl, look at the green bamboo!"
Gu Anning looked at her cute appearance, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, the light in the room dimmed, and Qingzhu led people in.
She has a good memory and knows whose house this maid is.
Bi Chun saluted Gu Anning. "The slave has seen the Nine Maidens. ”
"How is the eighth girl doing lately?" Gu Anning asked casually, Bi Chunying smiled. "The girl has been thinking badly recently, and I heard that the ninth girl gave the fifth girl glass beads, and I chattered for several days. ”
As he spoke, Bi Chun took out the prepared bracelet and handed it to Qingzhu. "The girl asked the slave to send this bracelet over, tomorrow is the New Year, and I think that the ninth girl came to the South Courtyard, missing. ”
As soon as Bi Chun said this, Qingzhu was going to reach out and take it, but it would not be easy to take it, where was he here to send something, it was obvious that he was going to exchange this bracelet for glass beads.
When she was in the North Courtyard, the eighth girl saw that her girl had never given a good face, and came over to give things for no reason.
Bi Chun's palms were sweating, the room was silent, two or three people looked at her, and her back stiffened.
After half a ring, Gu Anning spoke. "Qingzhu went to fetch the glass beads, since the eighth girl likes it, she will send one over, let's keep it. ”
"The glass beads are precious, and our girl's thoughts are more sincere. Qingzhu said this, turned around and went to the inside to take the glass beads, but he didn't pick up the bracelet in Bi Chun's hand, thought about it, and took it advocatively, so he stuffed the glass beads to Bi Chun.
It is the same whether this bracelet is accepted or not, Gu Anning saw Qingzhu take it, his mind changed slightly, and said. "If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can sit down and leave again, just idle. ”
"Thank you Miss Nine, the slave maid has to go back to serve the girl, the slave and the maid thank the nine girls for their kindness, and then go back." ”
After speaking, Bi Chun hurried out, for fear of listening to them say something else.
