The drying of bedding and other objects is usually not done in one day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the old habits of the Qin family, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between master and servant when drying clothes, and after the master's belongings are dried first, it is the turn of the big and small stewards and ambassadors, and then the small mustaches and miscellaneous servants, etc., which usually takes three days.
On the third day of drying clothes, the housekeeper of Donghuaju, Pang Fei, stepped into the courtyard gate of the East Fence again.
"Madame ordered me to send a message and ask the girl to go to Dehui Hall quickly. She still looked like she was flat, and the expression on her face was flat and serious, as if she didn't know how surprising her words were.
Qin Su was indeed a little surprised.
According to Jinxiu, today is the day when Mrs. Huo came to visit. Yilin's ordinary temperament will never let Qin Su, a lowly outer room girl, meet guests, what's wrong today?
Jinxiu and Ah Li on the side were full of surprise, and even Ah Kui, who was guarding the door, had a delicate little face that lit up for a moment.
Compared with Qin Su, the master, the mood of these handmaidens is obviously more pleasant.
Jinxiu diligently took out clean linen clothes, Ah Li combed her hair, Ah Kui knelt at Qin Su's feet and sorted out her shoes and socks for her, and several people quickly cleaned up Qin Su, Qin Su took Jinxiu and went to Dehui Hall with Pang Fei.
Today's weather is not very good, with patches of clouds, a slight easterly wind, and the sun disappearing from time to time, so it is not a good day to dry clothes.
Qin Su stood under the corridor of the main room of Dehui Hall, looked around, but saw that there was nothing on the lacquer railing, and the white paper lanterns under the corridor were floating in the wind, lined with blue bricks and gray tiles, solemn and simple.
A brown-clothed mustache removed the clogs for her, and another little mustache with dark eyebrows and eyes and a clear appearance stepped forward to open the door curtain and reported to the inside: "Liuniang is here." ”
"Come in quickly. Madame Tai's gentle voice came out through the curtain, but it was different from the kindness of the past.
Qin Su straightened his clothes, stepped into the house calmly, and when he raised his head, he saw that the room was full of people, except for the lady and the lady of the two courtyards, there were all the girls except Qin Yanli. At the head of the right side of the big case, there are three women sitting with faces, looking at their appearance, they seem to be three mothers and daughters.
After a glance, Qin Su bent his waist and saluted, his posture was respectful, and Mrs. Tai smiled at the eldest woman among the three: "Oh, this is Liuniang." As he spoke, he smiled at Qin Su again: "Liuniang come over and see Mrs. Huo." ”
Qin Su stepped forward according to his words, saluted Mrs. Huo in a dignified manner, and said in a calm voice: "Liu Niang has seen Mrs. Huo. ”
"Hurry up, please. Mrs. Huo's official speech has a southern accent, she laughs before speaking, and her attitude is quite gentle.
Qin Su straightened up and took the opportunity to glance up.
Mrs. Huo's face is quite kind, under the extremely thin two curved eyebrows, there are a pair of smiling almond eyes, the bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, the lips are fresh, and the skin is slightly dark.
Of course, compared to Qin Sulai, she was already white.
"I have heard that Qin Liuniang's filial piety has long been said, and when I saw it today, he was really a good boy who behaved well. Mrs. Huo's smiling voice came, and her words were very polite.
Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "She has just come back from Zhuangzi, and she doesn't know the rules very well, so where can she be praised like this by Mrs. Tai." I'll look at the two girls in the Zun Mansion. ”
Mrs. Huo smiled and waved her hand, and said with a smile: "That's it, Mrs. Tai doesn't always praise them." ”
The two of them politely said a few words, and the lady called Qin Su and the two little ladies of the Huo family to meet, Qin Su then knew that these two girls were all from Mrs. Huo, the eldest one was called Huo Tingshu, who was the daughter of the Huo family, nearly fifteen this year, and had reached the age of Jilu;
Qin Su secretly looked at it a few times, but saw that Huo Tingshu was wearing a smoky green short shirt, a green lake-colored long skirt, a golden hairpin as sideburns, and a beaded ring bun, which was really rich and beautiful, the bright color was eye-catching, and the charm was also quite outstanding. And Huo Tingxian is much more plain, it can be seen that she has inherited Mrs. Huo's curved eyebrows and apricot eyes, which is several times worse than her sister.
Xu is because of this, in front of Huo Tingshu, Huo Tingxian is always a little timid, he doesn't like to talk, he only bends his eyes and smiles, a little shy, but he is also cute and cute, very likable.
After Qin Su finally sat down on the short couch, Mrs. Huo glanced at her, turned to Mrs. Tai with a smile and said, "Mrs. Tai, don't blame me for being abrupt, I just heard that the sixth mother of the Zunfu was escorted by the Xue family Langjun, and she was a daughter of pure filial piety, so she wanted to see her." ”
Her words were frank, and she bluntly said that it was because of the Xue family that she wanted to see Qin Su.
After saying this, before others could do anything, Lin's already somewhat blackened face became more and more difficult to look at.
A Xue Erlang, from the year before the year to the new year, has not stopped, this county lady came to visit, and without three words, she proposed to see Qin Su, the reason is still for that Xue Erlang.
Lin Shi only felt that he was stuck there in one breath, and he couldn't go up or down, and he was really uncomfortable. Fingers tightened a strand of twine in the sleeve, twisting and turning, as if it was too bad to break it.
This concubine from the outer room is really angry with her!
Mrs. Tai looked as usual, and laughed harmoniously: "The Xue family is a crown family, and the children of the clan are super outstanding and handsome. ”
It was originally a humble statement, but it also praised the Xue family without leaking, and by the way, the Qin family was also raised.
When Mrs. Huo heard this, she raised her sleeves to cover her lips and smiled, and said softly: "What Mrs. Tai said is very true. After a pause, he smiled again: "When we had tea with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. He a few days ago, we also talked about what kind of outstanding person Xue Erlang was, but I didn't know what kind of person he sent along the way. The two ladies joked and asked me to take a look at them on their behalf, so I was entrusted with this trip, and Mrs. Tai didn't blame me. As she spoke, she turned her head again and glanced at Qin Su quickly, the measure and disappointment in her eyes flashed away.
Qin Su smacked slightly in his heart, and threw a mocking look at the bamboo screen.
Although I don't know if Huo Zhijian is really as she knew in her previous life, he is a stubborn, upright, iron-faced and selfless person, just looking at Mrs. Huo's performance at the moment, Qin Su has only one conclusion:
This Mrs. Huo is very snobbish.
This time, she made it clear that she had come to explore the roots, and now that she saw Qin Su's dark and thin appearance, she must have the last thought in her heart that would disappear.
Xue Yunheng could never like Qin Liuniang.
This should be Mrs. Huo's final conclusion.
From Mrs. Huo's actions, it can be seen that Huo Zhijian's good reputation must be discounted. (To be continued.) )
