Chapter 9: Big Brother
Gu Anning ordered two maids to stay, and mentioned another name, the slightly rounder one was called Qingyuan, and the other one that looked calmer was called Qingglaze.
These two people were taught by the mother-in-law of the Southern Courtyard, not to mention them, which of the maids in the Southern Courtyard was not taught by the mother-in-law of the Southern Academy? Qingyuan and Qingglaze were both serving in the young master's room in the second room, and Qingglaze was also a tea-adding maid, Qingyuan's hands were slightly rough, and they were sprinkled and swept in the courtyard.
"Thank you, girl, for your name. "Qingglaze saluted in a regular manner, Qingyuan was honest, and he followed when he saw Qingyuan saluting.
Gu Anning smiled, bowed slightly towards Qingzhu, and Qingzhu stepped forward to stuff a certain amount of silver in his hand, and said. "What our girl wants is a caring person, knowing that you are from the South Courtyard, and the girl is now also a member of the South Courtyard, serving with all her heart, and she is indispensable to her side. ”
"What Qingzhu said is that the slaves and maids are all serving, and the masters are all masters at any time, and they are not double-minded. Qing Glaze's complexion has not changed, compared to her, Qing Yuan is more lively.
"The slave and maid can be regarded as entering the house, and the one who has been sprinkling and sweeping in the yard before, has not yet entered the house!" The South Courtyard has the rules of the South Courtyard, and the sweeping maids do some errands on weekdays, and they can't enter the house without words.
The courtyard where Gu Anning lives now is a small courtyard in the south courtyard, and it is just a road to the corridor from the main courtyard.
Listening to Qingyuan's words, Gu Anning couldn't help but smile. "It's not going into the house!"
"The girl laughs so beautifully. Qingyuan stared at Gu Anning with big eyes for a moment, pursed his lips unconsciously, and said. "But it looks like a great lady. ”
Gu Anning is only over twelve years old now, and her appearance is a little longer when she talks about it, but everyone says that she looks like an aunt, and it is the first time I have heard that she wants to be a big lady.
"That's natural, the eldest lady is also the girl's mother, this is a good saying, with the people around you, the appearance is more and more similar. When Qing Glaze said this, he also looked at his own girl, who didn't look like it, but he was just a little bit of a heart.
Gu Anning didn't say anything, it was just a flattering word from Qingyuan, and then said. "Tomorrow, I will let Miao Lin bring a pendant to the two of you, and now she is also a first-class maid, there is a symbol, and it is good to let people look at it when they go out of the south courtyard. ”
Hearing these words, Qingyuan was overjoyed, and the face of the green glaze that did not change color was smiling.
In the afternoon, when Gu Anning woke up from a nap, Qing Glaze came in from outside, and when he saw that she was awake, he went there to put her coat on. "Girl, the young master is back. ”
This young master refers to the young master of the second room, speaking of which, she should call the fourth cousin, the one in the fourth room, and the second room Gu Youcheng is the fourth.
But she was in the North Park before, and she was a concubine, whether in her previous life or in this life, she and this cousin had only met twice when she was a child, and she still didn't know what he looked like when he was older.
Counting it up, Gu Youcheng should be seventeen or eighteen this year, right?
After putting it on, I listened to the green glaze continue. "The young master came back from the barracks this time, and he went to the army with the young master Jiang two years ago, and he must have suffered a lot in the barracks. ”
After that, he gave the jasper hairpin to Gu Anning's hairpin, looked at the people in the bronze mirror, and said unconsciously. "The girl is really good, I can wait for a few years, I don't know that I will lose a lot of children!"
Now he is only twelve, with thin lips and a small mouth, a strong nose bridge, delicate and fair skin, and a pair of almond eyes that can't see the sadness and joy inside. Qing Glaze looked at his own girl at first glance and felt that it was different from other concubines in the house.
If you want her to say that the girl is now in the South Courtyard, she is not happy, and she should be a little angry, but now she doesn't see it at all.
"There's a reason why Miao Lin brought you here. Gu Anning's mind is good, she never felt that her appearance was bad, after all, her aunt was brought back by her father because of her outstanding appearance.
Qing Glaze pursed his lips and smiled slightly. "It's not that the girl has taken a fancy to the slave, otherwise how could the slave and the maid be so blessed. ”
As he spoke, he went to the main courtyard with Gu Anning.
"The mother was too worried, and the child was fine in the barracks. Gu Youcheng said and took the cloud flower cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, saying while eating. "It's still delicious to have your own pastries. ”
"I don't know the character of your eldest cousin, he is a general, and he is majestic to the soldiers under him. Although the second lady felt sorry for her son, in the end, she was happy to see that he was now strong and strong.
The mother and son talked for a while, when Gu Anning came, the atmosphere in the house was very warm, Gu Youcheng saw a little girl enter the door, and he didn't recognize who it was after watching it for a while.
"An Ning, come here, this is your eldest brother. The second lady didn't say that she asked Gu Anning to call her cousin, and after hearing this, Gu Anning walked over with a smile and bowed slightly. "An Ning has seen the eldest brother. ”
"Mother, the child hasn't come back for more than half a year, so you added a sister to the child?" With that, he ripped off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Gu Anning. "Since I called my eldest brother, my eldest brother didn't bring anything with me when I came back this time, so you can keep this jade pendant. ”
Without waiting for Gu Anning to speak, the second lady glanced at him strangely. "This jade pendant is used for the girl in the photo, if you don't have anything else, you can't be so perfunctory. As he spoke, he beckoned to An Ning. "Next time, ask your eldest brother to bring you some good things. ”
Gu Youcheng is now in the army, and he has developed a temperament in the barracks, this son's temperament is long gone, he is informal and bold, and he forgot about this when he gave a meeting gift. "Mother is right, it's better to come back from the capital in two days, and when you pass by, I will get some treasures from him to send you. ”
Seeing him like this, Gu Anning unconsciously laughed a little, his eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, and he looked at Gu Youcheng stunned. "My little sister looks so good when she laughs. ”
Seeing this, the second lady also felt a slight tightness in her heart, and hurriedly said. "When I come back this year, what time does the new year have to go to the barracks in a hurry?"
"But no, I'm afraid I'll come back next year during the New Year, I heard my eldest cousin say that I have to go to the border next year, and now the border is turbulent, and it is difficult to say whether there will be a war in the coming year. Gu Youcheng said this, but the second lady was worried.
The mother and son spoke, Gu Anning listened but didn't interject, and sat until Gu Youcheng returned to the courtyard, and then asked Qing Glaze to take out the embroidered handkerchief. "Madame, look at this embroidery, two handkerchiefs, one embroidered spring peach, and one wax moon winter plum. ”
Gu Anning's embroidery was taught by Mother Li's hand, and Mother Li's embroidery is also a bit famous in the house, and she has been familiar with it in her previous life, and now these embroideries are easy to do.
But for a twelve-year-old girl to have such a skill, even the second lady likes handkerchiefs in her heart, and after thinking about it, she said. "I like it too, if you are free, you can also embroider it for me. ”
"If Madame likes it, I will embroider it when I turn around, I don't know what kind of pattern Madame likes. ”
"It's good to embroider your hand, look at your line strokes are excellent, I think it was also taught by Mother Li?" The second lady also knows Mother Li, and the embroidery kung fu on the name of the entire North Courtyard is Mother Li and Mother Qi.
And this Mother Qi is from the North Courtyard, and Mother Li is the mother in charge of Aunt Liu in the North Garden. She also wanted Mother Li to come to her yard, but she asked the eldest lady to let people go to Aunt Liu's yard.
