Chapter 6 My Peace of Mind is My Hometown
The standard configuration of the women of the An family is two personal maids per person, and the ladies in charge of the main mother's room are not counted.
Married men are two small servants, and again, stewards and the like are not counted.
The unmarried man is a small servant and a maid.
Outside the housekeeper, they all rest in the outer courtyard, and they are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, and all the affairs of the inner courtyard are managed by the maid in the house.
Although the An family was born in a business, the family style is very positive, from the ancestors rarely take concubines to raise maids, the men stand upright, the housemother is strict, the atmosphere of the little maids in the courtyard is much better, and there are few crooked thoughts.
And the housewives are lenient and don't like to suppress the lively nature of the little maids, especially here in the West Courtyard.
Because Wu's temperament is not gentle enough, thanks to Shun Niang's town, bringing out a group of little maids can still be in front of the person, and ......
Hehe, one day it is not surprising to see the maid in the West Courtyard scolding the merchant outside the small door because of the poor quality of the beads......
The maids of this kind of character, coupled with the cook Zhi Niang of the West Courtyard - yes, the first month after hiring Zhi Niang was quite normal, and after that, they probably gained a firm foothold in the An family, and the gossip fire in Zhi Niang's bones could no longer be restrained.
Wu and eldest sister-in-law Ruan were surprised to find that since they had Zhi Niang, they could listen to Kyoto down to a certain master Bo ** who was beaten out of the house by his old wife, and up to which lady in the palace cried to her brother and complained that she was bullied by another mother...... and so on gossip.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is really colorful and lively in terms of content, which fully reflects the wisdom and brains of the working people, and greatly fills the anxiety and emptiness of the two housewives who are unfamiliar with the place when they first arrived in Kyoto.
Then under the leadership of Zhi Niang, the painting style of the entire West Courtyard was wrong......
Silently closed her eyes and Zhu Qing applied balm to her, Liu Niang thought that although the gap from surprise to heart congestion was a bit big today, she could still look forward to a small lecture on Kyoto gossip before going to bed!
Hehe, please ignore the "Biography of Taizu", such a name with the temperament of a regular history book is opened and seen that a certain star has mercy on the world and invites himself to go down to the earth to sweep away the troubled times - that's right, Ning Taizu is a star of the earth, or a god of war type, Nima's brain hole......
The five thunderbolts are not enough to describe the feeling of Liuniang at that moment, tired and not loved......
Well, Liu Niang felt the need to re-evaluate her father's taste and world style.
The coolness of the rain seemed to be gradually gone, and in such weather, Wu was still afraid that his daughter would sleep on the mat and get too cold, so he specially ordered another layer of thin mattress to be laid on the bamboo mat.
Liuniang was lying on the bed wrapped in a goose-yellow belly pocket, Bai Shengsheng's arms and legs stretched arbitrarily, silently thinking that her heart was calm and naturally cool, for fear that she would sweat if she moved.
Zhu Qing kicked her aside and put a corner of the little thin quilt on her stomach, shaking the fan lightly and being a little anxious, Liuniang's clothes changed today have not been washed, this Tong'er ......
Just as he was a little angry, a series of light footsteps in the courtyard, the door creaked softly, and a small head poked out of the screen and peeked into the house shyly.
Zhu Qing's eyes widened, Tong'er hurriedly gave up her hand to forgive, slipped to the side of the bed lightly, snatched the fan in Zhu Qing's hand, and squeezed her eyebrows and smiled at Zhu Qing while fanning.
"Tong'er is back?" asked Liuniang in a daze.
"Yes, let's sleep, lady."
Zhu Qing thought that she was not worried about Tong'er, so she gently stroked the loose hair of Liuniang's sideburns and whispered.
Liuniang was half asleep and half awake, and was aroused by this gentleness with a sweet smile.
In the dream, there is the laughter sprinkled by her grandfather holding her in a circle under the tree when she was a child, the broken thoughts when Wu made clothes for her and tied her hair, the erudite but generous but smiling father, and the sadness and indignation of being watched and poked in the face by three big faces in swaddling clothes......
In a trance, I felt that even if I couldn't ask for the pampering and gentleness in this previous life, whether it was reincarnation or crossing, it was too worthwhile......
Six years have passed, and the images of the parents in the previous life have been blurred, and only the younger brothers who brought them up in person still have to remember clearly, but they have long been relieved - whether it is parents or brothers, she has never been the whole of their lives.
She is a person who loves her family very much, and it is precisely because she loves that family immensely that she would rather silently give up herself to dedicate herself to it, and until she dies, she thinks that she doesn't owe them anything.
It's really tiring to live without ego and fight for others.
In this life, she is loved by her parents, spoiled by her brother, she doesn't have to think about anything, she doesn't have to work hard for anything, her life is comfortable and easy, and she seems to be rewarded by God for her hard work and happiness in her previous life...... It's like a dream.
Liuniang is desperate to find the root of this world, but it is not because of this unreality in her heart. It's a pity that these cheating dad's novels ......
After all, Tong'er was young, and she was drowsy after a while, and Zhuqing came back to send her to sleep on the side, and she rested on the foot pedal for the night.
There was no word all night, and in the morning Liuniang was woken up by Tong'er - this girl dropped the copper basin on the ground by mistake, and the sound effect of this gong shook Liuniang almost immediately.
After settling down, Liuniang looked at Tong'er, who was holding a copper basin and was at a loss: "What about Zhuqing?"
Tong'er heard her slightly hoarse voice and remembered something, so she quickly put down the copper basin and poured a cup of warm water to help her sit up and drink water.
"Sister Zhuqing went to find Sister Xinghong, and she hasn't come back yet!"
Tong'er was a little stupid, and when she woke up in the morning, she suddenly remembered what Sister Xinghong had said, so angry that Zhuqing didn't even have time to scold her and hurriedly went to find Xinghong-so she wanted to wait for the lady to get up and ask for Sister Zhuqing's forgiveness.
"Oh. ”
As he was talking, Zhu Qing came in: "The lady is awake." Replace Tong'er and sit on the edge of the bed, take Liuniang in her arms and feed the water.
Tong'er's neck shrank: "I'll go fetch water!"
Seeing her run out of the smoke, Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh: "What will she do in the future like this!"
Liuniang thought that she said that Tong'er was reckless, and said casually: "She is still young, you can teach Shunniang well." ”
Zhu Qing couldn't help laughing when she heard her say seriously, Tong'er was more than a year older than her! But she couldn't tell the little lady that Tong'er was ready to marry her in the future, and she was loyal to her since she was a child.
Zhu Qing looked at the little lady a little distracted, she is already seventeen years old, Mrs. has paid attention to a few candidates, she has to marry in the past two years, if she marries back to her hometown in Jiangnan, I am afraid that she will not be able to accompany the lady to marry, think about Tong'er......
Alas, what a sorrow......
Liuniang was a little confused when she first got up, and after drinking the water, she even wanted to go back and sleep again, so she was dragged up by Zhuqing to freshen up, and combed her hair by Zhuqing with her eyes closed.
Zhu Qing sighed: "Today, Mrs. Min brought Qing Xiaolang here, the lady is in good spirits!"
Qing Xiaolang? A young but graceful face floated in front of him, beauty, beauty, Liuniang resisted the urge to suck saliva, raised her eyelids and glanced at Sha Zhong - less than five minutes.
Liuniang automatically converted it in her heart, crazy!!!, ahhhh
Jumping off the makeup stool with her little short legs, Liu Niang climbed on the bed without saying a word, ready to protest with action!
Zhu Qing couldn't cry or laugh, picked up Liuniang and put it back on the makeup stool: "Don't mess around, lady! Madame is not out of confinement yet, so she can't entertain Mrs. Min for lunch, Mrs. Min must come early to say goodbye before noon (11 o'clock)." ”
Well, it turns out to make a lot of sense.
After making such a fuss, Liu Niang was a little more energetic, so she asked Tong'er to make a cup of honey water and drink it, looking at the figure in the bronze mirror.
"Huh, Zhuqing, how do you comb this hair today?"
Zhu Qing paused for a moment and said, "Isn't it boring to always comb one kind of hair?"
"Oh, too. ”
Liuniang reached out and grabbed the bud that had been tied to the side, and the round bag was itchy when she looked at it on her head......
Zhu Qing quickly combed the other side, pressed Liuniang's troubled claws, opened the makeup, took out two ribbons of pink falling pearls, and skillfully tied and fixed the two bags.
The ribbon hangs just above the shoulder, and the pearl is shaking with the pearl between the eyes, which is very cute.
Liuniang stood up and carried the skirt of the pink embroidered peach blossom skirt in a circle, today Zhuqing also gave her a light pink plain yarn shawl, Liuniang consciously fluttered like a fairy, proudly lying on the dressing table with a round face and fanning her long eyelashes, thinking about Xiaolang's dumb face every time she was cute, giggling and snickering!
Zhuqing: ............
The little lady is so stinky and beautiful that people can't help but laugh! Hmm, it seems that every time Qing Xiaolang comes to the lady, it will always be abnormal for a while.
instructed Tong'er to accompany Liuniang, and Zhuqing went to the main room to see if it was properly packed and could go to ask for peace. As soon as she walked on her front foot, Tong'er, who had always been well-behaved, was in good spirits.
"Lady!"
"Tong'er!"
……
The two pairs of shining eyes looked at each other for a second, and Tong'er's gossip lecture began: "Lady, the capital is lively for a while! King Rui wants to marry the eldest lady of the Lin Chang family, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to fill the house!"
