Mother Du said with a smile: "The old slave ordered someone to bring water. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Du's mother's words just fell, and Xiaoli picked up the curtain and came in to report: "Girl, Miss Yu ordered someone to bring water over." ”

"Oh, Sister Lan Xin's speed is quite fast!" Fang Ning said with a smile, getting up and walking out of the inner room.

Dong Xiu commanded several mothers-in-law to carry the water to the clean room, and when she saw Fang Ning coming out, she bowed on her knees and said with a smile: "The slave maid has added Miss Fang." The water is ready, and the girl can bathe. Seeing Fang Ning nodded, she smiled again and said, "My girl also asked the slave maid to bring two bottles of perfume." These two kinds of fragrance are made by my girl herself, one is a lighter fragrance of wisteria, and the other is a stronger fragrance of roses. If the girl likes the fragrance, she will drop two drops of perfume into the water, so that the effect of bathing is the same as that of soaking in a petal bath. ”

"Yes, it turns out that Sister Lan Xin can also make incense dew!" Fang Ning took the two gourd porcelain bottles in Dong Xiu's hand in surprise, opened one and smelled it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this faint one should be wisteria incense, it smells so good." Then I opened another one, smelled it, and was very satisfied, "This smell is also good." She held the two bottles tightly in her hands and said with a smile, "I like both of these scents, thank you on my behalf." "I've taken all the things, don't want to go back.

Mother Du looked at Fang Ning's childish appearance and shook her head with tears and laughter. looked at Dongxiu quietly, not letting go of any changes in her face.

The smile on Dong Xiu's face remained the same, still decent and respectful, and said with a smile: "Miss Fang likes it, and my girl will be happy." ”

"What's your name, have you always lived in Jiangzhou? I haven't seen you before. Fang Ning saw that Dongxiu was well-behaved and very good at talking, so she chatted a few more words.

"Back to the girl, the slave maid is called Dongxiu. Although I was born in Jiangzhou, I met my girl in Xuzhou. Dongxiu replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Fang Ning nodded, indicating that she understood. Curiously tinkering with the two small porcelain vases.

Dong Xiu saw that Fang Ning didn't have anything to ask anymore, so she turned around and motioned to the little girl behind her to hand over the tray with the handkerchief and soap beans to Xiao Li beside Fang Ning, and saluted with a smile and said goodbye, "Then the slave won't bother the girl." ”

While talking, several mothers-in-law carrying water also came out. Their steps were light and steady, and they walked up to Fang Ning and bowed their heads. His face was respectful but not flattering, and he did not look at the curiosity of the guests.

Fang Ning nodded at Xiao Li, Xiao Li handed over the things to the little girl beside her, took out a purse and handed it to Dong Xiu's hand, and said with a smile: "My sister has run hard, this is a little bit of my girl's heart." ”

Dong Xiu generously took the purse and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, sister, thank you Miss Fang." Xiaoli gave a few copper coins to the mother-in-law who carried the water and the little girl behind Dongxiu, and said with a smile, "I have worked hard for a few aunts, and this little sister." ”

Several people also generously accepted the reward and thanked them in a regular manner. The movements are decent, without the slightest intimidation.

Mother Du squinted her eyes and looked at the backs of the few people who came out, and she was amazed in her heart. She had seen Ziyi and Qinghe before, and she had a very good impression of them. And today's little girl named Dongxiu, although she is not as old as those two people, she has decent manners and a degree of advance and retreat, which should not be underestimated. What's even more rare is that even the little girl and the rough mother-in-law in the house act in such a disciplined manner. Even when the old lady was in charge of the house, she didn't do it so rigorously. She had to reposition Lan Xin in her heart.

Mother Du walked into the clean room with a smile, took the things in Xiaoli's hand, and ordered: "I'll wait for the girl to bathe, you go and pack the girl's luggage, and when the girl comes out of the bath, you can rest early." ”

Xiao Li raised her eyes and saw her girl nodding, so she handed the things to Mother Du, and said with a smile: "Then there is Mother Lao." "Bring the other two little maids with you, and go to the inner room.

Mother Du took the things and looked at the clean room while waiting for Fang Ning to bathe.

The clean room is clean and tidy, and the gilt hollow incense burner spews out light smoke, exuding a pleasant aroma. Mother Du lowered her eyes and thought to herself, always feeling that the old lady was wrong this time.

Although the Yu family is completely destroyed, it can be seen from this Zhuangzi and his subordinates that the heritage should still be there. Although she didn't know that after the old lady recovered from her illness, she suddenly asked her to accompany the fifth girl to find the jade girl. But the current jade girl is completely down, and as the old lady said, I am afraid that it is not easy to use it.

In the past, when the eldest girl was in the Zhou family, although she had a natural momentum, because she was somewhat restrained, that momentum became a unique temperament. And now, this momentum is in full swing, not only uncontrollable, but also impossible to underestimate.

Fang Ning slid her body into the water and sighed comfortably: "Oh, the water temperature is just right, it's so comfortable!" There was a faint aroma in the dense water vapor, which made people feel refreshed, she said with a smile, "I didn't expect that after Sister Lan Xin left the Zhou family, not only was she not depressed and decadent, but she was even better off than the Zhou family." I began to think that she had taken refuge in the Zhuangzi, but I didn't expect that she had come to enjoy the blessings. Although this Zhuangzi did not see the whole picture, along the way, the trees were lush, the flowers were in full bloom, and everywhere was full of vitality. Zhuangzi and Niang in the capital are not too reckless. ”

"Yes. Mother Du echoed with a smile, "I used to think that Miss Yu was smart, but now it seems that she is not only smart, but also smart." ”

"Yes, Sister Lan Xin is indeed capable. I just hope that her good luck will start from now on, and there will be no more tribulations. Fang Ning said with a twisted eyebrow.

Mother Du watched Fang Ning fall asleep, with a full smile on her face, and gently exited the inner room.

It's sunny outside and there's a breeze on the air. Mother Jane is directing the little maids to clean up the wisteria trellises. The shelves are two meters high and eight meters square, and the whole shelf is very spacious.

When Du's mother came out, a few little maids were sweeping under the shelf. Several people are quick with hands and feet, and the division of labor is clear. Although there were so many people, there was no sound at all, and if she hadn't happened to be out of the house, she wouldn't have known that someone in the yard was busy.

Mother Du looked at Mother Zhen, who was in command, her eyes flashed slightly, she walked over with a smile, and said, "My husband's surname is Du, and people in the house are used to calling me Mother Du." I don't know if this ・・・・・・・ see that you are not old, so I will shout at my sister, I don't know what to call this sister?"

Mother Zhen turned her head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Sister Du, and everyone in the house calls me Mother Zhen." Mother Jane glanced at the little maids who were working, and said with a smile, "Let's go over there and talk." With that, he let Du's mother go to the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard.

The little maid had a great eye to find a brocade mat from the side room and spread it on the stone bench, made a pot of tea, and brought a few plates of dried fruits.

Mother Zhen waved her hand to let the little maid go down, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Mother Du, and said with a smile: "Sister Du, please drink tea." Then he poured himself a glass and tasted it slowly. Mother Du has been looking at Mother Zhen curiously, groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "I had the honor to follow our old lady to the palace to participate in the palace banquet many years ago. Seeing that my sister's method of pouring tea and serving tea is very similar to that of the people in the palace, has my sister ever been in the palace?"

"My sister has good eyesight, I did work as an errand in the palace. Jen's mother said with a smile.

Du's mother didn't show it on her face, but she was shocked in her heart, no wonder she saw that her demeanor and bearing were different, it turned out to be a grandmother from the palace. However, the people who come out of the palace are all supported, and no matter how bad they are, they also take refuge in their children and nephews, and they have never heard of her who is thrown into the Yu family as a housekeeper mother. Come to think of it, her life in the palace should also be unsatisfactory, right?

Thinking of this, Du's mother smiled and asked, "I don't know where my sister was on an errand when she was in the palace?"

"Oh, I've been listening to errands in the imperial study since I entered the palace. Mother Jen put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Let's go. The teacup in Du's mother's hand was put on the table, making a crisp sound, her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Imperial study?

"Hehe, those are just good spreads. Mother Zhen said disapprehantly, smiled and took the handkerchief, wiped the tea that Mother Du overflowed due to surprise, and said with a smile, "Sister Du doesn't have to look at me like this." Now sitting in front of you is only Mother Jane next to the girl. ”

Du's mother didn't come back to her senses for a while, chewing on her words repeatedly. Did she mean that from now on, she would stay by the side of the eldest girl of the Yu family, regard her as the main one, and chase her around? But why? A person like her, who walks in the imperial study, will definitely make proper arrangements for her when she goes out of the palace to retire, not to mention, she once blocked poison for the emperor and saved the emperor's life.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the emperor does not make arrangements, then there are many people in the capital who are willing to invite her back to the house, support her, and provide for her in the old age, why should she nest in Jiangzhou and devote herself to this unknown jade family? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "Why did you choose Jiangzhou? A grandmother like you, who has qualifications and grades, should be rushing to invite you into the palace in the capital." But why is this here?"

Mother Jane put down the teacup and smiled slightly, "Sister doesn't have to be so restrained, this time, that time." Now I'm just a housekeeper mother next to our eldest girl, and I'm no longer a grandmother in the palace. Besides, the capital has the prosperity of the capital, and Jiangzhou has the benefits of Jiangzhou. Slaves like us don't depend on the arrangement of the master, where the master is, we are. ”

"Do you mean・・・・・ "Are you really the eldest girl of the Yu family?" Looking at the shallow smile on Zhen's mother's face, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth. Du's mother was annoyed for a while, and she only felt that she was playing abnormally today, and she always said some stupid things that didn't make sense.

When Fang Ning woke up, it was already dusk. A faint fragrance lingered, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath and bury her head in the quilt. Xiao Li walked in, looked at the little head buried deep in the quilt, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl. He called out with a smile: "It's time for the girl to get up, Miss Yu sent someone to ask just now!"

"Oh, right away. Fang Ning buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, but she didn't look like she wanted to get up at all. Xiao Li pulled out the bed tent and hung it on the hooks on both sides, and said with a smile: "The jade girl is really a blue heart, and the wisteria flower stand is really beautiful as soon as it is cleaned up." At that time, the slave maid was still worried about the banquet under the flower stand, there were mosquitoes, flies and insects, which would affect the appetite, and now I know that the slave and maid were simply too worried. Girl・・・・・・"

"Really, the flower stands have already been arranged?" Fang Ning got up and urged, "Then let's hurry up and pack up and go out early to have a look." ”

"Yes, girl. Xiao Li said with a smile, and wiped her face with a handkerchief, "The jade girl's fragrance is really good, the wisteria fragrance on the girl's body is fragrant, it really smells good." ”

Fang Ning picked up a lock of hair and put it under her nose, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Well, it smells really good." I don't know if there's any leftover from Sister Lan Xin. When you get back, ask her for a few more bottles. ”

Around the wisteria trellis, light gauze tents as thin as cicada's wings hang down from the top of the shelf to the bottom. Clusters of wisteria flowers droop downward, exuding a faint fragrance. On the four white-lacquered pillars of the trellis hang four dark purple fringed lanterns. The breeze blows, the lanterns sway gently with the wind, and the swaying light seems to make the whole shelf come alive, like a dream, beautiful.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" As soon as Fang Ning walked into the courtyard, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him. I covered my mouth for a long time and didn't come back to my senses.

"Seeing that my sister likes it, it didn't cost my hard work in vain. Lan Xin led people into the courtyard and said with a smile. came over and took Fang Ning's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go in." Looking at the moon through the light veil, it's not fun!"

"My sister really has a heart!" Fang Ning said excitedly, "I thought it would be enough to set up a table under the shelf, but I didn't expect my sister to put so much effort into it." I knew that it would be so hard for my sister to do this, so I didn't agree to set up a meal here. ”

My sister likes it, and my sister feels that this thought is not in vain. Lan Xin smiled and said disapprovingly, "It's rare for our sisters to fall in love like this, so naturally they can come as happy as they want!"

"Wow. Walking into the gauze tent, Fang Ning's eyes lit up. The vases on the four high sides of the four sides are filled with large bouquets of red roses, purple peonies, pink rhododendrons, and purple hyacinths. Candlelight shines, flowers are fragrant, through the gauze tent, the scenery outside is ethereal and hazy, as if entering a fairyland on earth.
