Chapter 30: Sluggishness
When Zheng Sui opened her eyes and woke up, her sister-in-law was not around, only Cai Fu stood in front of the couch, Zheng Sui stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, and called her sister, her voice was a little vague, as if she had not woken up, and Cai Fu on the side immediately stepped forward to help her sit up, and called four maids to come in and serve her together to get up and freshen up.
There was still a candle in the house, Zheng Sui leaned on Cai Fu's arms, looked up at the window, through the screen window, he could see that the sky outside had brightened, and he couldn't help but ask casually: "When is it?"
Before Cai Fu could answer, the maid who had just come in with a towel hurriedly replied: "Little lady, don't worry, there is still a quarter of an hour before the hour." ”
The voice is clear, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, Zheng Sui looked up, only to see the maid standing on the edge of the screen, her body has not yet grown, like a strip, slender and slender, look at the face, has not yet grown, only twelve or thirteen years old, a pair of eyes seem to be able to speak, extraordinarily flexible, but Zheng Sui has no impression, she is also a maid that her sister-in-law dialed to her side?
Tilting his head slightly, he looked at the picker beside him, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Her name is Xue Li, and she is also the eldest maid arranged by the lady beside the little lady. Cai Fu said as she tied Zheng Sui's skirt without even raising her head.
Zheng Sui put his hand into the chiseled gilt arabesque basin held by Xin Yi, and didn't look at the maid again, and when she rinsed her mouth and served her to wash her face, Fang smiled at Cai Fu: "It's your name again, I think it's the only one you have taken such a blunt name, so what are the names of the remaining five maids?"
After asking, Zheng Sui saw a rare burst of weakness on Cai Fu's face, and immediately guessed it, and couldn't help laughing, "Couldn't it be all taken from Yu Chuci's "Nine Songs, Lady Xiang"? If this is the case, it is estimated that Brother Ah will be angry, and he will never allow you to study in the future." ”
"Son, this is what you have learned and what you have used. ”
After serving Zheng Sui and washing his face, he hugged Zheng Sui to the makeup gate, combed Zheng Sui's hair, still divided it into two strands, tied it into two large vertebrae with silk ribbons, and drew out a small lock of hair in the bun, which hung down naturally.
Zheng Sui stretched out his hand and played with the grate placed in front of the dressing table, "I haven't said it yet, what are the names of the rest of the girls?"
Probably because Zheng Sui exposed it, this time Cai Fu did not twist, and said it generously, the remaining big maids are called Sunbi, and the other four little maids are called Fangjiao, Fangxin, Baicao, and Shilan.
Hearing the last name, Zheng Sui was suspicious, feeling that the last one was very familiar, and suddenly remembered, so he was surprised: "How to take the name Shi Lan, I remember that there is a big girl next to my sister-in-law who is called Shi Lan." ”
After a pause, he loosened the lock of hair that had just been combed, and hurriedly said: "It's the maid's negligence, and the maid changed it when she went back, and it was changed to Shulan." ”
Zheng Sui snorted and said lightly: "You came out of your grandmother's side, don't make this kind of mistake in the future." ”
Cai Fu hurriedly said Weiwei.
Looking up slightly, Zheng Sui's expression at the moment rarely looked like a child.
The other maids in the room lowered their heads and suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Zheng Sui also noticed it, restrained her feelings, and waited for Cai Fu to comb her hair, and asked, "Where did my sister-in-law go so early?"
I only heard Cai Fu say: "Madame went to Guining Courtyard early in the morning to see the old lady, Da Lang and Wu Lang only came back last night when they were ugly, and they haven't gotten up yet." ”
"What can Sister-in-law leave behind?"
Mrs. said that the lady slept late yesterday, so she would not go to school today, and asked Li Yu to send someone to the school to ask Mr. Zheng for a day off. ”
"How can anyone just go to school and not go the next day," Zheng Sui said, and got off the chair with Cai Fu's hands, and did not let Cai Fu help him, and ordered: "Let people pass on breakfast." ”
It was already dawn outside, and the candles in the house were still burning, so Zheng Sui went out of the house directly.
Cai Fu wanted to persuade, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't say it.
Before Zheng Sui went to the school, he wanted to go to the study to see the fifth brother, but he heard Cai Fu mention that the eldest brother was also there, so he stopped his thoughts, and early in the morning, a servant woman came over, saying that Erlangjun slept late last night, and specially instructed that she didn't have to go over to ask for peace this morning, so Zheng Sui didn't go to Shoujing Garden, and went directly to the school from Shouqin Garden.
When I arrived in the school, when Zheng Sui arrived, the fourth and fifth sisters hadn't come over, and they didn't even come to the big house.
It wasn't until it was almost time for class that the fifth sister Zheng Jian hurried over, obviously in a hurry.
Zheng Sui originally wanted to secretly ask the fifth sister, why did she come so late, because she saw a middle-aged woman, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, striding in, about the gentleman of this class, so he stopped, looked up at the gentleman who came in, with towering cheekbones and a tall figure, and suddenly seemed to be able to understand why no one felt weird when the fifth sister was wearing men's clothes in the school, probably this female gentleman started it.
Later, Zheng Sui stayed in the school for a long time, only to learn that this female gentleman's surname was Lou, who had served as a magistrate in Yangzhou in disguise as a man, and after being exposed, he left the land of Dachu in the south, and came to the north, and went to Luoyang.
At the end of the morning class, Zheng Sui found that only she and her fifth sister Zheng Jian were the only ladies in the big house.
Moreover, it was only after class, and before she could ask the fifth sister what was wrong today, she let the fifth sister pull her out of the school.
I heard the fifth sister complain again: "I'm sleepy, if I don't hear that you are coming to school, A-Niang must let me come over, I am still in the house to make up for sleep." ”
"What did my sister do last night, why are you so sleepy?" Zheng Sui looked at the fifth sister Zheng Mian yawning for a long time, and the doubts in her heart were deeper, besides, not only the fifth sister did not come, but the fourth sister and the remaining sisters did not come, could it be that there was something she didn't know.
"How can you be as heartless as you. After Zheng Mian complained, he shook his hand again, "I won't tell you, you are young and don't understand this." ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he couldn't help muttering carefully, "Sister, you can't be four years older than me." "Most of the young people don't like to hear such words, and they are full of unwillingness.
"Xingyang is going to let the Xianbei army overwhelm the border, you don't know such a big news, the whole family, even Azhi knows, probably you don't know. ”
Hearing this, the expression on Zheng Sui's face froze, his footsteps suddenly froze, and only the words of the Xianbei army crushing the realm floated in his head.
She has lived in Pingcheng, and she is very familiar with the Xianbei people, and she has probably never thought about the words "Xianbei army pressing the border".
No wonder when they entered the Shouqin Garden last night, the sister-in-law and Li Yu had those words, strange words, yesterday the men in the family all gathered to go to the uncle's Langhua Garden, and returned late at night, probably only this incident can cause the family to be as nervous as a great enemy, and connect these clues, Zheng Sui only thought about Gaoping City.
In today's Xianbei Imperial Court, Prime Minister Yihun has deep roots and leafy leaves, and Yihun Yu is the youngest grandson of Prime Minister Yihun.
When I think about it, everything makes sense.
