Chapter 19: Yun Jiao makes a move
"Why did Cui Mei come to you last night?" Su Yunjiao asked Pingxiang, who was combing her hair in the makeup mirror. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Please, let me do me a favor, let me find out what the girl is talking about. Pingxiang replied with a smile as she brushed her hair.
"Probe my tone?" Su Yunjiao felt strange in her heart, Cuimei didn't ask the fourth uncle for something, but came to probe her tone, "Isn't it related to the fourth uncle?"
Ping Xiang paused with his hand on the carved sandalwood comb with peony pattern, and said: "Cui Mei came to tell me last night that Green Sideburns doesn't want to be separated from his family, but the number of people who will return to Beijing with him is determined to be difficult to change, let me ask the girl if she can do me a favor." ”
"Green sideburns?" Su Yunjiao silently recited twice in her heart, "Isn't she the maid beside the fourth uncle?
Between her previous performance, none of the people in the whole house were familiar with her, and even now, only the Cui Mei next to the fourth uncle and mother came more, and the others avoided it, but I didn't expect that someone would ask her for it.
Su Yunjiao picked out a silk flower from the makeup, played with it in her hand, and quipped: "But what mistake did she make?
Even so, wouldn't it be better to ask for the fourth or eighth sister?
Pingxiang shook her head and said with a smile: "I thought about it, I really had to ask the girl for help in this matter." ”
"How?"
"This matter seems to be only related to the Green Sideburns family, but in fact, the four masters and four ladies are all somewhat related. "Pingxiang combs her hair and speaks, don't delay," I learned from Cuimei's mouth that the fourth lady brought very few servants back to Beijing this time, and I heard that it was to not provoke the old lady's eyes. ”
Hearing this, Su Yunjiao stopped playing with the silk flower, frowned and thought, she remembered that when she returned to Beijing in her previous life, the fourth uncle and aunt did the same, but instead of getting a good word from the old lady, she attracted the old lady's suspicion. The people in the capital have a very good eye, and the fourth uncle and mother originally didn't want to attract attention, but in the eyes of others, it was the old lady who was harsh on the four-room family, and the gossip was not less, and the old lady was naturally unhappy when she heard it.
Moreover, because of this incident, the subordinates in the Wenchang Marquis Mansion also saw the signs, these four rooms have no backstage and are not liked by the old lady, so they are naturally treated a lot more lightly. In his previous life, Sifang's life in Beijing was very unsatisfactory.
"I'll go and tell my fourth uncle in a while. Su Yunjiao handed the silk flower in her hand to Pingxiang and asked her to help her put it on. She didn't want the fourth uncle to make the mistake of her previous life again, "Hurry up and clean up, let's go and say goodbye to the fourth uncle." ”
By the time Su Yunjiao arrived at the Awakening Spring Hall, Su Yunrou and Su Yunyou had already arrived.
"Yun Jiao said hello to the fourth uncle. Su Yunjiao first greeted the Liu family, and then said hello to the two sisters: "The fourth sister is good, the eighth sister is good." ”
Needless to say, Su Yunrou said hello in return, but Su Yunyou said, "You are the last to return." ”
Although these words are the same as before, but there is no sneer in the past, Su Yunjiao is very pleased, it seems that so many of her things have not been given in vain.
Taking advantage of the fact that the masters were laughing and saying hello above, Cui Mei moved a few steps, quietly pulled Pingxiang's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "What happened last night?"
Pingxiang looked at her, then at the green sideburns that looked at them from time to time, and said in a low voice: "It's done, you can watch it." ”
This was beyond Cuimei's expectations, and she was about to ask a few more words, but she heard Su Yunjiao ask: "I see that the fourth uncle and aunt have been worrying about returning to Beijing recently, I don't know who the fourth uncle and aunt plan to bring back?"
Since Su Yunjiao opened her mouth to ask, the Liu family would not fail to answer: "I thought, people don't have to bring too much, just bring a few maids and maids that can be used, and a few housekeepers who can be used, there are only about thirty people in total, and it will not be too ostentatious." ”
I didn't want to, but seeing Su Yunjiao frowning and silent after hearing this, Liu didn't know why, and asked, "What's wrong with Yunjiao?"
Su Yunjiao was about to answer, but Su Yunyou interjected: "Mother asked her what she did, and the decision made by her mother was naturally good, what can a delicate girl who doesn't know anything know." ”
"Xiao You," Su Yun said jujuly, "You love to talk about this and that truth all day long, don't you hear and listen to it? You let the seventh sister finish her words first, and then judge whether what the seventh sister said is right or not." ”
Su Yunyou pursed his lips and didn't make a sound. Of course, Su Yunjiao didn't care about these things with her, but just smiled: "I don't know anything about housework, so naturally I can't compare with the fourth uncle." There is only one thing, I know more than you and my fourth uncle. ”
"What is it?" asked Su Yunyou curiously.
Su Yunjiao smiled: "Marquis Wenchang Mansion." I know more people and things there than you know. ”
Liu thought about it, it was true, her days in the Hou Mansion were indeed not as long as Su Yunjiao's, plus she had been away from the mansion for many years, and she didn't know anything about the personnel changes in the mansion, so she said to Su Yunjiao: "Then, please ask Yun Jiao for more advice." She didn't want to, as soon as she entered Beijing, she committed other people's taboos.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how can my niece stand this. I will only tell my opinion to the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will make a decision after listening. Su Yunjiao smiled, "In my opinion, everything else is fine, but the pomp is a little smaller." ”
"What do you say?" Ryu asked.
"The old lady is a lively person, no matter what she does, she pays great attention to pomp and circumstance, and the more atmospheric, the better. Su Yunjiao smiled again and said, "The fourth uncle and aunt only brought such an idea into Beijing, what I know is that the fourth uncle and aunt don't want to attract attention, and I don't know what to say if I don't know." There are many people in the capital, and the old lady doesn't like to listen to gossip. ”
After hearing this, Liu's heart sank, she had lived in Beijing for a few years, and she still knew a little bit of the old lady's temperament. Hey, she patronized how low-key, but forgot about this matter, thanks to Su Yunjiao's reminder, otherwise she might have made a big mistake.
"What Yun Jiao said was that I was negligent. Liu Shi asked again, "What does Evian Jiao mean, how many people should I bring with me when I go back this time." ”
Su Yunjiao thought for a while and said, "According to me, as long as the people in this mansion are willing to go, it doesn't hurt to bring them." ”
"Is this too much?" Liu hesitated.
"It's not much at all, so that you can show everyone's style. ”
"But ......" Liu still hesitated, the pomp was too small to pat the old lady and didn't like it, the pomp was too big, and the old lady might not be happy.
Su Yunjiao knew what the Liu family was thinking, and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, with me, if the old lady blames at that time, you can just push it on my head." "Everyone in Beijing knows that Miss Su Jiaqi is delicate and willful, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants.
Liu Shi felt bad, and he couldn't say a word for a long time after "this" and "that". She didn't want to dislike the old lady, if someone could jump out and bear the old lady's anger, it would be good to divert the old lady's attention, but if she did, she felt sorry for Su Yunjiao.
"Oh, don't hesitate the fourth uncle and mother, it's all a family, who cares about this, it's so decided!" Su Yunjiao smiled and went up and shook Liu's arm, she was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, the old lady didn't like her in the first place, and it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't like it a little more.
Liu Shi looked at her for a long time, saw her firm attitude, sighed, and said, "Then, just listen to Yun Jiao." ”
"Well, my girl is doing things quickly. Over there, Pingxiang whispered to Cui Mei next to her.
Cui Mei nodded, I really didn't see it before, the seventh girl was still warm-hearted.
"Anyway," Pingxiang asked again, "how did you come up with the idea of begging our girl?"
"I didn't think of it, it was my godmother who instructed me. Cui Mei was happy for a while, and regarded Pingxiang as a friend, and she didn't hide it, and directly told her about Chang's mother.
Chang's mother, Pingxiang secretly wrote it down, not wanting that there would be such a good character in this house, and said with a smile on her face: "I didn't expect your godmother to be so powerful, I will definitely visit another day, and beg her old man to give me advice." ”
Cui Mei smiled: "You just go, since I talked to my godmother about you, she said every time you how you are, you degraded me worthless, and taught me a lesson, you went, she sure she likes it." ”
"Then I'm going to meet her old man. Pingxiang's eyes moved slightly, "I like the person who likes me the most." ”
After Su Yunjiao finished the matter, she said a few other words to the Liu family and the Yunrou sisters before leaving. As soon as she came out of the spring hall, the green sideburns chased after her.
"Seventh girl, please stay. ”
Su Yunjiao stopped when she heard the sound, looked back at her, and said with a smile: "Why did you come out?"
The green sideburns knelt down in front of her, kowtowed to her several times in a row, jumped Su Yunjiao, and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and hurry up, let others see it, and think I did something to you." As he spoke, he gave Hiraka a look.
Pingxiang couldn't understand what she meant, stepped forward with a smile, helped up the green sideburns who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Sister Green sideburns, hurry up! ”
Only then did the green sideburns stand up and said to Su Yunjiao with a grateful face: "Thank you so much for this time, Seventh Girl." There is no way to repay the green sideburns, but if the girl has anything to use the green sideburns in the future, just send someone to say, and the green sideburns will help the girl do her best even if she tries her best. ”
Su Yunjiao listened and said with a smile: "What can I ask you to do, you just have to serve the fourth uncle and aunt." Besides, you don't need to be grateful to me, I'm not doing this to help you, I have my own purpose, you're just a bygone beneficiary. ”
But no matter what Su Yunjiao said, the green sideburns still said: "If the seventh girl has something in the future, just command." ”
Su Yunjiao didn't listen to what she said, so she had to say helplessly: "Okay, good, if I have a place for you in the future, I will definitely come to look for you, go back quickly, the fourth uncle and aunt are still inside." ”
In this way, the green sideburns thanked him again and went back to the house.
"Hey, this is a good girl who knows how to repay her kindness. It's just that it's too pestering, Su Yunjiao shook her head, and said to Pingxiang: "Let's go, let's go back too." ”
