Chapter 51: Mrs. Zhu 3
Not long after, under the combing of Lu Xueyue's skillful hands, Leng Qing's long ink-colored hair, which was originally casually draped, was pulled into a upright flowing cloud bun, and the places on the bun that were easy to spread out were fixed with a few white bead flowers.
Walking two steps forward to the dresser, Lu Xueyue put down the horn comb in her hand, picked up the two hostas and a pair of golden hairpins on the dresser table and inserted them into Leng Qing's bun.
How can a few beaded flowers be counted as hair accessories, these hairpins are serious hair accessories.
"Slow!" Lu Xueyue inserted the hairpin into Leng Qing's bun, and Leng Qing stopped Lu Xueyue's next move.
While pulling out the hairpin Lengqing, she said to Lu Xueyue behind her lightly: "Today is different from the past, now the master, the eldest lady and the eldest young master are all driving to the west, and even the second aunt went west due to illness last night, even if I and the second young master are newly married, we can't dress up like this, this is disrespectful to the deceased." ”
This is Leng Qing's true words. The deceased is great, she has always felt so.
Being said by Leng Qing, Lu Xueyue suddenly felt that she was wrong, so she quickly knelt down.
At that time, Leng Qing had just pulled out the pair of hairpins and put them on the dresser countertop, but was startled by Lu Xueyue's sudden move, her hands shook, and she almost dropped the pair of hairpins to the ground, but fortunately, Leng Qing still held it steady.
Leng Qing didn't have time to ask Lu Xueyue why she knelt down suddenly, but she heard Lu Xueyue say in panic: "It's the slave maid who is wrong, the slave maid is not thoughtful, and I ask the young lady to punish the slave maid!"
After listening to Lu Xueyue's words, Leng Qing felt a little funny.
Putting the hairpin in his hand on the dresser countertop, Leng Qing leaned down to help Lu Xueyue, and said at the same time: "You are not wrong, it's just that as the young lady of the Zhu Mansion, my words and deeds should be thoughtful, what do I blame you for?
The moment Lu Xueyue was helped up by Leng Qing, she suddenly felt that Leng Qing was very special, but she couldn't say what was so special.
And in her heart, Lu Xueyue felt that the young lady of her family must be a kind-hearted and good person!
If Leng Qing knew that Lu Xueyue thought of her like this, it is estimated that Leng Qing would be speechless and hold her forehead: Where does she look like a good person? She is a serious businessman! Has anyone ever seen a businessman who is a good person?
After helping Lu Xueyue up, Leng Qing was about to withdraw her hand when she caught a glimpse of the brocade robe draped over herself.
Let's not mention that this caftan is men's, Leng Qing estimated that it should be Zhu Zimo's, and she was also grabbed from the wardrobe and draped on her body when Lin Zhiwu came to knock on the door, and this bright color alone is not suitable for wearing at this time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Qing got up and raised her hand to tear off the brocade robe draped on her body, revealing the white middle coat she was wearing inside.
While walking towards the wardrobe in the corner, Leng Qing said to Lu Xueyue: "Please go and help me find a set of plain clothes, almost all the clothes in the wardrobe of this new house are brought with the dowry, they are all bright colors, and there are no plain colors." ”
"How dare the slave and maid wait for the young lady to say trouble, the slave and maid will go here, please wait a while. Lu Xueyue replied in a panic, and hurriedly went out to help Leng Qing find clothes.
Walked to the wardrobe on the side, opened the cabinet door, the cabinet was indeed full of brightly colored clothes, stuffed the brocade kaftan in his hand into the cabinet, closed the cabinet door Leng Qing walked to the side of the bed and began to fold the quilt to make the bed.
Before college, Leng Qing lived in Meng's house, and later entered the university far away from Meng's family, although Meng's father promised that as long as Leng Qing was willing, Leng Qing could have a private car to facilitate Leng Qing to go back and forth between school and Meng's house. But in order to study quietly, Leng Qing declined Dad's kindness and moved to the school after the start of school.
At that time, I lived in a dormitory with four people, and the other three roommates of the same age were very diligent when they first arrived.
In the first week or two of the first week of school, the three roommates stacked the quilt and made the bed every day, but the longer it went, the lazier they became, and finally simply left the bed in a mess and ignored it.
Leng Qing can't do what they do, Leng Qing, who has a slight cleanliness habit since she was a child, insists on folding the quilt and making the bed every day at any time, never breaking a day.
Later, there was a surprise inspection by the school life department, and Leng Qing was not punished for cleaning and deducting one credit each because the bed was made very clean and tidy.
With that surprise inspection, Leng Qing didn't dare to be slacking off in "housekeeping", and after a long time, Leng Qing developed a good habit of making the bed when she got up.
It is estimated that he was really tired yesterday, and Leng Qing slept until this morning, when Lin Zhiwu knocked on the door and said that he had something to report.
Because I came to report early in the morning, I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be in a hurry, Leng Qing didn't even have time to put on her coat, and directly put on a long shirt and called Lin Zhiwu in, where is there time to fold the quilt and make the bed?
Later, because she was too obsessed with reading, Leng Qing forgot about it, and she didn't remember it until now.
When Leng Qing almost made the bed, Lu Xueyue happened to come in with a neatly folded black and white skirt.
Seeing that Leng Qing was making the bed by herself, Lu Xueyue was petrified directly by the arch.
It wasn't until Leng Qing asked her, "Why have you been standing outside the curtain", that Lu Xueyue came back to her senses.
Walking into the inner room quickly, without even putting down the skirt in her hand, Lu Xueyue hurriedly said to Leng Qing with trepidation: "You are a young lady, this kind of vulgar work should be done by slaves and maids, how can you do it yourself......, young lady! If the head of the house knows, the head of the house will definitely punish the slaves and maids for not waiting well!"
Leng Qing had the urge to touch her forehead: didn't she just fold the quilt and make the bed? This has always been her habit! This little girl needs such a big reaction? As if she has done something she shouldn't do......
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of stacking the quilt and making the bed, and it's not a big deal. Looking at Lu Xueyue, who was full of panic, Leng Qing smiled indifferently.
Lu Xueyue was completely shocked, and hurriedly argued: "It's a big deal, how can it not be a big deal! You are a young lady, how can you do what the maids do! This kind of vulgar thing, young lady, you should order the slaves and maids to do!"
"Did I find the clothes you were looking for?" Leng Qing didn't want to continue the topic with Lu Xueyue, because Leng Qing knew that no matter what she said, the little girl in front of her would not approve of it, so she simply changed the topic.
In fact, Leng Qing had already seen the black and white clothes that Lu Xueyue was holding in her hand, but there must always be a goal that can be shifted to change the topic!
As soon as she heard Leng Qing ask her about her clothes, Lu Xueyue hurriedly raised the black and white skirt she was holding in front of her a little higher and held it in front of Leng Qing.
"This is what the slave maid found under the wardrobe in the next room, but this suit is plain in color, and I don't know if you are dressed properly, young lady. Lu Xueyue said worriedly.
Leng Qing looked at the set of clothes that Lu Xueyue held in front of her that seemed to be black and white, but was actually black, gray and white, and blinked.
Even Leng Qing, a person who has lived in modern times since childhood, can see at a glance that the fabric of this set of clothes in front of him is not ordinary textile fabric, but high-quality satin fabric.
Pursing the corners of her mouth slightly, Leng Qing praised with satisfaction: "Well, yes, that's it." Whether it fits or not has to be tried to know. ”
Black and white are Leng Qing's two favorite colors, although there is a lot of gray mixed in them, but it does not hinder Leng Qing's preference, and it is also appropriate to wear such plain clothes at this moment.
"Yes. Lu Xueyue respectfully agreed.
Put the clothes next to the bed first, and then Lu Xueyue picked up each piece of clothing in order and began to put them on for Leng Qing from the inside out, from top to bottom.
After Lu Xueyue helped Leng Qing get dressed, Leng Qing decisively stood in front of the bronze mirror.
Leng Qing looked at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror, looked at the full-breasted skirt worn on her body, and felt a little like the clothes of the Tang Dynasty seen on TV, the top was covered by a long enough bra skirt to mop the floor, but the outermost part was covered with a long gauze with the same color as the clothes inside.
Leng Qing raised her hand left and right to look at it again, and found that this set of black, gray and white clothes was actually an embroidery picture, and the embroidery was all from mountains and rivers.
It's probably a landscape painting, and this set of clothes fits very well on Leng Qing's body, not big or small.
Leng Qing was a little puzzled, whose clothes would be on her body? Not only that, but it also suited her appetite so much?
I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't think about it anymore, but looked directly at Lu Xueyue on the side and asked, "Do you know whose clothes I have on my body?"
Hearing Leng Qing ask like this, Lu Xueyue subconsciously frowned, as if she had thought of something bad.
Leng Qing was not in a hurry to force Lu Xueyue to answer her, but just looked at Lu Xueyue who bowed her head and frowned lightly.
Finally, Lu Xueyue told the origin of the set of clothes on Leng Qing's body and the original owner of the clothes under Leng Qing's gaze.
After listening to Lu Xueyue's words, Leng Qing knew that the clothes she was wearing turned out to be the woman named Cheng Xiao that Zhu Zimo liked before.
Not only the clothes are made of Chengxiao, but even the mountains and rivers on the clothes are embroidered by Chengxiao for more than half a year.
It's a pity, although this set of clothes was given to Cheng Xiao by Zhu Zimo, but this set of clothes that Cheng Xiao spent more than half a year embroidering Cheng Xiao didn't have time to wear once, and she died.
Zhu Zimo may not want to see things and think about people, so after taking back this set of clothes embroidered by Cheng Xiao at Cheng Xiao's house, he put them at the bottom of the wardrobe.
It's just that Lu Xueyue didn't know that the several sets of clothes in the wardrobe were actually left by Cheng Xiao before his death.
If it weren't for Leng Qing saying that she would wear plain clothes, I was afraid that this set of clothes would lie quietly under the wardrobe and not see the light of day.
After listening to Lu Xueyue's words, Leng Qing was silent.
Regarding the matter of Zhu Zimo and Cheng Xiao, Leng Qing knew that she had no right to speak.
Besides, Leng Qing didn't know what to say, did she want her to say "Zhu Zimo's feelings for Cheng Xiao are really deep and touching"?
That is obviously impossible! Since experiencing Chen Haoxian's incident, Leng Qing has abandoned the word "feelings" outside her life.
