"Second Young Lady, this is the little maid that the Second Young Master wants, I brought him here!"

The second young lady frowned and said, "The second young master went out early in the morning, and he probably won't be able to come back until dark. ”

Steward Zhang bowed down and responded: "Don't bother, Mrs. sent a blessing gift to each room, and I will send it to the second young lady when I am young!" ”

"Then there is Steward Lao!"

After Steward Zhang left, Zhao Jiu stayed in the pavilion to obey his orders, but the second young lady lowered her head to read the book, and Zhao Jiu didn't dare to move around at will, so he had to pestle in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe warm breeze is blowing on my face, but I don't feel bad. The second young lady was fascinated, a bee buzzed and flew over, and Zhao Jiu gently drove it away. From time to time, the birds chirp twice in the bushes, which is mellow and pleasant.

As soon as people are free, they can't help but think nonsense, Zhao Jiu has nothing to do, so he compares the second young master and the second young lady in his heart. Zhao Jiu thought that the second young master was good-looking, but when he compared it with the second young lady, he felt distorted. The second young master is amazing and enchanting, and the second young lady is a natural beautiful woman, and the aura and vividness that come from birth are not comparable to the appearance of the second young master.

The sky suddenly became overcast, and a woman in Tsing Yi came out of the back room with a lotus canopy, and saw that Zhao Jiu's face suddenly darkened. She walked to the side of the second young lady, gently put on her clothes, and said softly: "Miss, it's cold in the garden, go back to the house and see?" ”

"Well, I'll look at it for a while and go in!" The second young lady smiled at the woman, glanced at Zhao Jiu again, and said, "Ah Zhu, this is the little guy named by the second young master, you take him down to settle down!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Ah Zhu led Zhao Jiu down unhappily, only waiting for the second young master to come back, the other girls and maids in Daiyuan also looked disdainful when they saw Zhao Jiu, as if Zhao Jiu was unpopular, and another little maid named Xiaodong who was waiting for the second young master was angry when he saw Zhao Jiu, which really made Zhao Jiu puzzled.

There is a maid named Chuxia in Daiyuan, who has been to the kitchen a few times, Zhao Jiu quietly found her and asked, "Sister Chuxia, why do you hate me so much?" ”

Chu Xia stopped what he was doing and glanced at Zhao Jiu, with disdain in his eyes, but because Zhao Jiu had also done something convenient with her in the past, he responded: "Don't you know why the second young master ordered you to come?" ”

"I made a mistake a while ago, and I was locked up in the firewood room for several days, and now I got the grace of the master, and I just came out here, and if I don't believe it, I can go to the kitchen and ask, and there is no half a lie in the keep! I'm used to doing rough work in the kitchen, and I don't know anything about the fine work of serving people, and I really don't know why the second young master asked me to come to Daiyuan-"

Seeing that Zhao Jiu's appearance really didn't look like a lie, Chu Xia thought about it and asked again, "You really don't know why the second young master asked you to come?" ”

Zhao Jiu said with a bitter face: "Sister Chuxia, I really don't know!" ”

"I look at your appearance - I really don't know, there are rules in our house, people are not allowed to chew the master's tongue, and I can't tell you much about the things in the garden, in short, you have to remember, like Xiaoman - there is no good end!"

Zhao Jiu was stunned, and immediately asked, "Sister Chuxia, has something happened to Xiaoman?" ”

"He's beautiful!" In early summer, he glanced at the east house angrily, and went to work by himself. Zhao Jiu was full of doubts, and now he was puzzled, he thought that Xiao Man was annoying everyone by talking and doing things, and he didn't know what was going on until the night.

In the evening, the second young master Wu Zhiqing stepped on the red glow in the sky and returned to Daiyuan, followed by Xiaoman. Xiaoman seems to have been reborn, his eyebrows are lightly raised, his face is red and white, his lips are red, and he seems to be painted with rouge, which is not at all like the jerky appearance in the kitchen. Xiao Man saw Zhao Jiu's eyelids fly over as soon as he saw it, Xiao Dong hurriedly rushed up to change the clothes for the second young master, Zhao Jiu was at a loss to pestle there, Xiao Man looked at his stunned appearance and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, fill the bucket with hot water, the second young master wants to bathe!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Man's cry saved Zhao Jiu's life, and he found the small stove room in Daiyuan, where hot water was already boiling. He found the bucket, mixed half a bucket of hot water and half a bucket of cold water, and carried it into the east room of the second young master. There was a big wooden bucket in the outer room of the east house, about half a person high, and Zhao Jiu poured several buckets of water into it before adding the big bucket to seven or eight points full. Xiao Man tested the temperature of the water and said coldly: "Okay, let's go out!" ”

Xiaoman's appearance looks like the second master of Daiyuan.

After Zhao Jiu left, Xiao Man closed the door and isolated Xiao Dong outside. He took out a clay pot from the shelf next to the wooden barrel, grabbed a large handful of goose yellow and pink petals from it and sprinkled it in the bucket, and poured something into the water from a white porcelain bottle, and the room was suddenly filled with an intoxicating fragrance, even Zhao Jiu outside the house could smell it.

Zhao Jiu frowned, and saw that there was no one else outside except Xiao Dong, so he nodded with Xiao Dong and walked away. He was just concerned about leaving this room quickly, but he didn't notice that Xiao Dong's eyes were full of resentment when he looked at the east house.

The second young master had been in this bath for more than half an hour, and when he came out, the other rooms had already eaten, and the second young lady seemed to be accustomed to it. The girls brought the food quickly, and it was all steaming. The second young master used a bowl of rice, and the second young lady used half a bowl, and the banquet was quiet, as if there were two people who didn't know each other eating at that table.

After eating, Ah Zhu brought fragrant tea and reported to the second young master about the situation in Daiyuan today, and after hearing two sentences, the second young master waved his hand and said: "Zhao Jiu is placed outside my house, you can tell the young lady about other things!" ”

The second young lady still didn't make a sound, and Ah Zhu lowered her head and responded: "Yes, second young master!" ”

When he was young, there was a knock at the door of Daiyuan, and Ah Zhu ordered Zhao Jiu to go and see it, but it was Steward Zhang who came. Steward Zhang ordered the two behind him to put down the things they were holding, first saluted the second young master, and then saluted the second young lady, Fang said: "Second young master, second young lady, this is the spring blessing gift that the lady ordered the villain to send, the gift list is here, please take a look at the second young master and the second young lady!" ”

"There's a Steward Lao!" The second young master took the gift list and handed it to the second young lady, and asked the housekeeper to bring a stool, and Steward Zhang bowed down and said, "Thank you Second Young Master, the villain still has something to do, so don't bother much!" ”

Only then did the second young lady take over and say, "Ah Zhu, send it to the housekeeper!" ”

"Yes!" Ah Zhu sent Steward Zhang out according to his words, and Zhao Jiu heard the second young master say: "The blessings of this spring sacrifice are available in all rooms, but you are the only one who is more generous than everyone else, you are so good to take it, Ming'er will go to the house to thank your father." ”

"What about you?"

"I'll be in the house tomorrow, and I won't go out." After speaking, the second young master got up and walked towards the east house, and when he saw that Zhao Jiu hadn't caught up halfway through, he called out, "Don't you keep up yet?" ”

Ah Zhu glanced at Zhao Jiu, and Zhao Jiu reacted at this time, it turned out that the second young master was calling him. Zhao Jiu hurriedly saluted the second young lady and followed in the steps of the second young master. The second young lady had tears in her eyes, and Ah Zhu choked up and said, "Miss, let's go back to the house-"

The second young lady didn't look over, and entered the West House with the help of Ah Zhu.
