Chapter 11 Wooing
On the morning of the second day, Linglong quietly entered Rongde Hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this hour, Shen was leading a pair of children to greet Mrs. Tai in Zhenghe Hall.
The big girls with heads and faces followed them to Zhenghetang, and Bitong had an obvious red and swollen bruise on her forehead, so she was not suitable to go out to meet people, so she stayed in her room aggrieved.
Hearing a knock on the door, Bi Tong hurriedly opened the door.
Seeing the person, Bi Tong was slightly stunned: "Linglong, why are you?"
Linglong is Gu Wanning's eldest girl, who usually goes in and out of Rongde Hall, and is also familiar with Bitong. Wen Yan sighed: "I heard that you were hung by your wife yesterday, and I came to see you today." β
While carefully looking at Bitong's forehead, he frowned and said, "Look at your forehead, the injury is not light." Why don't you rub some medicine, if you leave a mark, don't want to show your face in front of the master in the future. β
Bi Tong smiled bitterly: "I'm just a thick-skinned maid, where is it so delicate." β
After a pause, he said: "Madame has been in a bad mood these days, and I just took advantage of recuperating to avoid it." lest you inadvertently bump into your wife. β
There was inevitably a bit of resentment in his tone.
Linglong took out the ointment from her purse and stuffed it into Bitong's hand: "Even if you want to avoid it for a few days, you have to use some ointment." β
Containing the ointment is a translucent jade-white porcelain bottle, which is crystal clear and transparent, and it is cool to hold in your hand.
Bitong is also a person who knows the goods, as soon as the porcelain vase is in hand, she knows that it is not an ordinary product, and she is busy smiling and returning the porcelain vase: "Why are you embarrassed to ask for such a valuable thing." β
Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, and pressed Bitong's hand affectionately: "I won't tell you, this is specially sent by Miss for me." If I take it back like this, the errand will not be done, and I will have to be counted out by the young lady. Hao Bitong, hurry up and put away the ointment, just help me this time!"
Listening to these words, Bitong was flattered and warm.
I really didn't expect that Miss would be so careful, and she specially asked Linglong to send ointment.
In comparison, Madame is too cold and unkind.
She has been in Rongdetang since she was ten years old, and has served by her wife's side for six years, without merit and hard work. As soon as the lady was angry, she was still angry with her, a big girl, and made her shameless. I didn't even ask afterwards, let alone send any ointment.
As the name suggests, Linglong people are the most sensitive and clear.
Seeing Bi Tong's complicated expression, Linglong quickly guessed what Bi Tong was thinking, but she pretended not to know, and comforted her: "We are slaves and maids, and we are born to serve people's lives. The master is not happy, so he has to be angry with us maids. You don't have to worry too much. β
Bi Tong laughed bitterly at herself: "What you said is true." In the eyes of the master, we are similar to the objects in the house. β
Who cares about the mood of an object?
Not necessarily. Linglong pretended to smile casually: "Miss treats the people around her very well." On weekdays, he is gentle and casual, and never punishes. We have a headache and brain fever, and the young lady will specially ask the doctor to come and take a look. If there is something at home, as long as you report the leave, the young lady will never be allowed. β
"The young lady also told us that in a few years, she would choose a suitable family for us, and she would prepare a rich dowry for us. β
Bitong's eyes showed envy.
As a maid, the biggest luxury is to meet such a generous master.
Linglong looked at Bitong and said pointedly: "Miss never treats anyone who has her heart set on her. As long as you are willing to do things for Miss, if there is anything to ask Miss in the future, Miss will definitely not stand idly by. β
Bi Tong's heart moved quietly, and she subconsciously clenched the porcelain vase.
Linglong came to her on purpose, not just to send a bottle of medicine...... The meaning of the words is really worth pondering......
Miss and Mrs., although they are mother and daughter, they are not close to each other. In the past few days, it has been even more-for-tat, and the smell of gunpowder is full. Madame ate and hung up at Mrs. Tai's place, or because of Miss......
Madame is in charge of the Hou Mansion, and she is a first-class maid beside Madame, which is very decent. I shouldn't have had any other thoughts.
However, the young lady is the only concubine in the house, and her status is noble. If you can secretly please the young lady, you will have a good future in the future.
The mothers, brothers, and sisters in the house can all be taken care of.
How does Miss want her to "do things with her strength"?
Linglong is well versed in the truth of "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it", and threw a bait out and didn't say more. The topic was quickly diverted.
Bi Tong was faintly disappointed, and secretly relieved.
β¦β¦
Zheng's mother tried hard to persuade her, and it really worked.
In the next few days, the Shen family no longer asked about Gu Guanning's single-minded martial arts training, and devoted himself to the residence of Shen Qinglan's father and daughter.
Linlang casually said the news she heard: "The courtyard that Mrs. picked is quite close to Rongde Hall. The original name of the courtyard, Mrs. thought it was too cheesy, so it was changed to Guilan Courtyard. β
Guilan-in?
Gu Wanning silently recited twice in his heart, and pulled the corners of his lips with a smile: "This is a good name." β
Lan and Lan have the same sound, returning to the Lan Academy, implying the return of Qinglan.
The Shen family was really interested in Shen Qinglan.
Gu Guanning did not hide the mockery in his words.
Linlang was also a little angry in her heart, and said in a low voice: "It's just a girl from my cousin's family, and my wife is too concerned." I heard that not only has the name of the hospital been changed, but all the furniture in it has also been changed. Madame's treasury is about to be moved in half. β
The furnishings in Yiliu Courtyard are elegant and luxurious, and everything is exquisite. Most of them were moved from Mrs. Tai's private vault, and Mrs. didn't ask much. The cousin girl who came out of nowhere, Madame is so attentive.
Compared with the two, it really makes people feel unhappy.
Gu Wanning didn't take it to heart, and smiled faintly: "This little thing is not worth being angry about." β
"Miss, you're too generous. Linlang muttered in a low voice: "This Miss Shen hasn't come yet, and she has already caused you and Mrs. to have an awkward quarrel, and she hasn't spoken for a few days." If I really come, I don't know how many tongues I will have in the future!"
"If you want to live right and wrong, it depends on whether she has the ability to do it. Gu Wanning's eyes flashed with coldness, and there was coldness in his voice.
She is the concubine of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the most noble daughter of the Gu family, and the most dazzling noble daughter of the family in the capital.
In her previous life, she was too naΓ―ve, and she was deceived by Shen's few obedient words and Shen Qinglan's coy demeanor, and she didn't know how many stupid things she did......
Otherwise, why is a cousin girl from the Shen family from Xijing suppressing her limelight and stepping on her to climb up?
"Miss," Liuli quickly walked in and reported, "The fifth uncle of the Shen family and Miss Biao have already taken a boat to the dock. Now I am taking a carriage to the Hou Mansion. Madame ordered someone to ask the young lady to go to Rongdetang now. β
The carriage of the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been waiting on the dock for four days, and today it finally waited for Shen Qinglan's father and daughter.
Gu Wanning hummed casually, but didn't move.
Liuli was slightly stunned and glanced at Linlang.
Miss, what's the matter?
Madame was in a hurry to urge her over!
Linlang said unhurriedly: "Since the distinguished guests are coming, the young lady has to dress up and pack up before going over." lest the lady feel that the young lady has neglected the distinguished guest. You go and get a basin of hot water to clean the young lady's face, and then ask Yingluo to dress up the young lady. β
Liuli is also a clever person, and when she heard this, she immediately reacted, and hurriedly echoed with a smile: "Yes, yes, the distinguished guest is here, and the young lady always has to dress up to greet her, so she seems cautious." The slave and maid went to call Yingluo over. β
β¦β¦
Shen was also grooming in the mirror.
The big girl Bihuan was ingenious and pulled a flowing bun for the Shen family. Because of Shen's love and elegance, only a delicate hairpin was inserted in the bun, and a little tassel hung down to his ears.
Biyu graciously brought a new dress: "Madam, this is a spring dress just made this year." It is made of fine Shu brocade, and the color is complex and elegant. The lady also looked better in this new dress. β
Shen snorted, and Jasper waited for him to change his clothes.
After cleaning up, Shen looked at himself in the mirror.
The willow eyebrows swept lightly and tapped the red lips.
The thin fat powder skillfully conceals the fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
After dressing and changing, the woman in the mirror is beautiful, elegant, and radiant.
Time treats her very well, and more than ten years of time only give her a mature charm, but it does not make her old.
Shen had a smile in his eyes, he was in a good mood, and he rewarded a red gold bracelet with a blue ring and jasper. The two maids thanked them with joy. After Zheng's mother came in, they retreated with interest.
"Mother Zheng, how about I dress up like this?" Shen was like a teenage girl, knowing her beauty, but still apprehensive, and couldn't wait to get affirmation and praise from others.
Zheng's mother praised with a smile: "Madame is dressed like this, and it looks similar to when she was not out of the cabinet." β
Shen pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
"Speaking of which, the old slave hasn't seen the fifth master for some years. I don't know what the fifth master looks like now. Mother Zheng smiled again and said, "Fortunately, the fifth master and Miss Lan will be here later." β
Shen was in a happy mood, and his smile was much deeper than usual: "After waiting for so long, I finally looked forward to their father and daughter." β
As he was talking, Gu Jinyan came.
Shen said to Gu Jinyan with a smile: "Ah Yan, your fifth uncle and cousin Qinglan are almost here. Let's go to the door together to meet them. β
In fact, you should first send the maid to wait at the door. Shen Qinglan's father and daughter arrived, and it was not too late for the Shen family to go out to greet each other. This is what Mrs. Dingbei Marquis should do.
Seeing Shen's impatience, Mother Zheng silently swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Gu Jinyan nodded obediently at first, and then said, "Sister hasn't come yet." Mother, we wait for her. β
Shen smiled, frowned, and snorted lightly: "I have already sent someone to call her." She has a lot of things, and she hasn't come yet. β
