23. Allotment (4)
The flames in the palace lamp were a little fluttering, and with a 'snap', Mars jumped slightly, and the brocade screen on the side opened the lampshade, cut the candle wick short with silver scissors, turned around and saw Chanyi rubbing her eyes, and persuaded: "Miss, take a break, Mrs. Xie's birthday will be more than a month, such a long time is enough to do, don't break your eyes." ”
Chanyi smiled slightly, "It's always a matter of mind to do it earlier." "What's more, after a while, I'm afraid she won't have much spare time to do embroidery, and she always has to find a way to ask a doctor to cure her mother's illness.
Jin Se came in with a plate of citrus and said happily: "This citrus is a tribute orange sent from southern Zhejiang early this morning, except for the old lady, Mrs., this is the first one." ”
Chanyi looked at the plate of citrus, and the corners of her mouth provoked a mocking smile, what is this? Give a stick, and throw a few dates? Which hairpin family in the imperial capital, isn't these fresh food sent to the room of the master's mother and daughter's children first? However, the Xia Mansion can do this kind of stupid thing of giving it to the aunt first and then to the master's mother, if it is known by his father's political enemies, a book of excerpts will not be divided into his concubines, and it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
Jin Se looked at Chanyi's face was not good, thinking that she was still worried about the morning, and whispered the news to her: "Miss, the slave maid has inquired, Siqi was put on the village in the southern suburbs by the old lady, the slave maid heard that Siqi was beaten half of her body was about to rot, but the old lady did not allow her to take care of the injury, and at noon she sent someone to send her so ......."
Jin Se said, smacking his mouth as if he was lamenting Siqi's misery now, and leaned over to her and said: "Do you know what kind of place the southern suburbs are? It is said that the youngest servants in the southern suburbs are thirty or forty years old, and they eat in the soil all day long. ”
Chanyi came back to her senses and knew that Jin Se was comforting her, so she smiled: "You came to a bag to inquire, what else did you ask?"
Jin Se smiled, "Bao Da didn't dare to hear it, but the slave maid really inquired about one thing, Miss, you said it's not strange, Mrs. Zhang in the big kitchen accidentally burned half of her face when she poured ashes today, and now her face is full of bubbles, so infiltrating, Aunt Yan knew about it and let Mrs. Zhang recuperate in the Jinfenyuan Garden in the house, Mrs. Zhang is in charge of the soup, and Aunt Yan is now in charge of the soup in the second family of Xing. ”
Chanyi frowned, she didn't care about this kind of trivial matter in her previous life, but Aunt Yan had just been punished today, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any big moves, and the people in the big kitchen are all old people in the house, how could they make such a strict consequence for a while, and the abnormality is a demon, she asked vigilantly: "Who is in the house in Xing Er's family? What did you care about before?"
Jin Se was a little indignant: "Miss, do you know that Qiaolan next to Aunt Yan?" Xing Er's family is Qiaolan's mother, before the Meilin in charge of Xiheyuan, last year the plums were ripe, Miss said that she had read a recipe for making plum wine in the book, and wanted to pick some plums to make wine, and the slave maid went to Xiheyuan to pick plums, and the Xing Erjia was not allowed to enter, the slave said that Miss wanted to make plum wine, and Xing Er's family counted the slaves and maids, saying that it was our subordinate who instigated Miss, and then Miss also had a quarrel with Aunt Yan for this matter, and finally took the plums, and the young lady was not interested in making wine, and then the plums also entered the stomachs of the slaves and maids. ”
Chanyi sighed, she was always so impulsive in the past, she obviously had a better way, but she didn't like to use her brain, and she should be framed and bullied in the future.
