Chapter 42: Settling In
Qin Yun left in despair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't have a word of the father's concern and instructions for his daughter, immersed in his own sadness, and just left.
The second grandmother and the others were dumbfounded, and even Mama Lin didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Qin E was the most calm, as if she had expected it, and turned to Mama Lin and said, "It's been a long delay, let's go quickly, lest we be stopped by anyone, and we won't be able to get to the place when it's dark." ”
Mama Lin sighed and took the lead in the front, but she was impressed by Qin E in her heart.
This calm and murderous atmosphere is really worthy of being the daughter of the Shen family, and it will be lively in this Qin Mansion in the future.
Traveling all the way west, Dongmei couldn't help but say, "How did you get here?"
Qiu Ju also said: "It should be a bamboo forest in front, right?"
There is a bamboo forest on the west side of the house, and a shallow stream flows through the forest to the lotus pond on the east side of the house. Most of the masters in the house live on the east side, which is remote and quiet, and is inaccessible.
didn't go far, and they arrived at the courtyard where they lived, Lanwan Garden.
Mama Lin said: "In the future, this will be the courtyard of the two young ladies, what is missing for the eldest and second young ladies?"
Qin E looked around, what do you say about this place? The newly powdered walls in the house, the brand-new sour branch wood furniture, I am afraid that there are only a few young ladies in the capital, and compared to the dilapidated and decayed old mansion of the Qin family, I don't know how many times more refined.
But if it is good, except for this beautiful furniture and a few necessary utensils, there are few ornaments in the room, and the huge room is empty, and the scenery is very depressed.
Such a means to make people bitter and unspeakable, if you guess correctly, it must have been done by Aunt Fang.
Dongmei said: "Why isn't there even a vase here?"
Mama Lin seemed to be waiting for her to ask, and said with a smile: "The old lady is old, and she handed over the matter of dressing up the house to the third lady." Because it was a big house, the three ladies entrusted it to Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang's meaning, the two young ladies are in the middle of filial piety, and it is better to be clean in the house. ”
Qin E glanced at Mama Lin, who was not a trace of impatience, and sighed in her heart, the old lady didn't know how many blessings she had cultivated in her previous life, and she was so confused in this life, but there was such a capable and loyal servant to worry about her.
Qin E said: "We are very satisfied with this place after working hard today, and when we are cleaned up another day, please come over and have a glass of water and wine." ”
Mama Lin smiled and said: "Then the old slave can rest assured, the two young ladies should rest quickly, and the old slave will go back to the old lady." ”
The second grandmother got Qin E's instructions and sent her out with a purse.
After a while, he came back and said, "As before, the first moment of the first day of the unitary meal, but we are far away from the big kitchen, so it is better to go there earlier." ”
Dongmei jumped up to find the food box, and Qin E said, "Qiu Ju will go to get the meal in a while." ”
Qiu Ju knew that she was afraid of Dongmei's hot temper and offending with others, so she nodded, took the food box and walked out of the yard.
Dongmei muttered: "The eldest lady is too worried about me, no matter how stupid I am, I won't quarrel at this time." ”
The second grandmother made a straight face: "You can do whatever you want, where are there so many complaints, there are no rules." This is not an old mansion in Liaodong, and I will punish you next time!"
Dongmei was most afraid of the second mother, so she quickly shrunk her shoulders and stopped talking.
Qin E smiled, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Dongmei like this, in her previous life, Dongmei was lame, Qiu Ju was broken, and she didn't like to walk around in front of people. Later, she was grounded with her, and such a happy person also became silent day and night.
She decided that she wanted to make them all happy in this life, so she didn't restrain them. But what the second grandmother said is also right, this is not as good as the old mansion in Liaodong, in the case that she has not been able to protect them, if they make a mistake for a while, it will be a catastrophe.
At this time, Nian Xi jumped in and said to Qin Yan: "Little sister, there is a river and fish outside!"
Qin Yan's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Really, where is it?"
The second grandmother came over and said to Nianxi: "In the future, you are not allowed to call the young lady again, but the second lady." Don't jump or jump when you walk. ”
Nian Xi looked at Qin Yan with a blank expression. Qin E sighed in her heart, pulled her over and said, "Listen to the words of the second grandmother, you have to call the second lady in front of people, only when the two of you are in the room, call the young lady." ”
Although Nian Xi didn't quite understand, she had always listened to Qin E's words, and nodded heavily when she heard the words: "I know." ”
The second grandmother said: "The eldest lady is too used to her!"
Qin E persuaded her: "It's just a child, let's teach it a little bit in the future." ”
Soon after, Qiu Ju returned. Dongmei opened the food box and exclaimed, "Why is it so little!"
Qin E looked around and saw two plates of oily fried vegetables, two small bowls of rice, and a bowl of soup with a few stars of egg flowers floating in the food box.
Qiu Ju said: "The kitchen said that it was early today, and I didn't know in advance that we would come back and only have these things left." ”
Dongmei said angrily: "You won't let them do it again?"
Qiu Ju retorted: "Why didn't I let it, I begged for a circle, and I only asked for an extra bowl of soup." They said that the third lady was strict, and there was a number of dishes every day, and there was no more. ”
Qiu Ju said to Qin E: "We don't have to worry about being hungry, let's eat some first." ”
Dongmei said: "This meal is cold, and there is no hot meal at the moment, how can I let the ladies eat?"
Qiu Ju said: "How can that be good?"
Qin E said: "Take out the pastries you ate on the road and redeem them!"
The second grandmother Qiu Ju said: "How can this work?"
At this time, a voice came from the courtyard: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the slave maid is the maid of the second lady, and I am here to bring you some food." ”
Everyone was shocked, Qiu Ju welcomed her into the house, and the maid blessed Qin E and Qin Yan, and said, "The slave and maid shouted several times outside the courtyard gate, but no one answered. When he saw that the door was open, he dared to come in by himself, and hoped that the two young ladies would not be strange. ”
Qin E said: "It's because we are negligent, how can we blame." ”
The maid waved her hand and asked the two little girls to put the food box on the table, and said with a smile: "Today, the dinner is early in each room, and the two young ladies have just returned to the house. The second lady said that she had to serve the old lady, and she couldn't come over to help for a while. If you need anything, just send someone to Ning Xiang Yuan. After two days when the two young ladies were settled, she came to ask for a cup of tea. ”
Qin E said: "Thank you second aunt for your concern, there is filial piety, I can't go to see you." ”
After sending the maid away, Qiu Ju and Dongmei opened the three-story food box, brought out the dishes inside, and spread a table full of them.
I saw all the vegetarian dishes, which were very exquisitely made, and when I touched the plate, it was still hot.
A few people were used to the simplicity of the old house in Liaodong, and when they suddenly saw such a table of things, they were a little stunned for a while.
Qin E laughed at herself: "I'm used to living a hard life, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly become extravagant." ”
Everyone smiled and relaxed.
Qiu Ju said, "Why is the second lady so good to us?" Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
The maid in the second room was also asking the same question.
