After serving Mrs. Ning after breakfast, Zhao accompanied her and talked for a while before returning to listen to Yuxuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After breakfast, Zhao met with the housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the east room, listened to their reply, and assigned good things, and when they were all dispersed, he asked the maid to help him dismantle the bun, except for the clothes, her head hurt again and she needed to take a nap.

Zhao squinted, lay on the bed and endured the pain and asked again: "Did the second lady use breakfast?" ”

When the waiter saw Zhao Shi talking, he pressed the corner of his forehead with his hand, and knew that she had a migraine, so he consciously helped her knead it with moderate strength, and replied: "The people in the kitchen said that most of the food that was withdrawn was missing, especially the sauce-fragrant duck tongue that Mrs. ordered Miss ate it all." ”

"Well, since she loves to eat, let the kitchen cook it tomorrow, and our family is not short of money." Zhao instructed, "Remember to send another twenty taels of silver to the kitchen for Fan's mother to buy." Give her a pair of red gold bracelets to remind her to take care of the people in the kitchen. ”

"Don't worry, madam, I'll let people send it when I get back." The waiter answered.

The price of duck tongue is expensive, and the Lin family has always been diligent and thrifty, and only makes a dish on festivals and major days. But Lin Biwen likes to eat duck tongue, and every time Zhao only asks the kitchen to cook it for her in private, for fear that Lin Wenliang will know about it and reprimand her daughter. This time, Lin Biwen was wronged and lost her temper and refused to eat well, so Zhao asked her to make duck tongue, hoping that her daughter could eat more.

Under the rubbing of the waiter, Zhao's head didn't hurt so much, and he slowly fell asleep.

The waiter stopped, and sat down on the small pestle next to him to make needles.

After a while, Shiqin lifted the curtain and came in, and when she saw that Zhao was asleep, she asked Shishu softly, "Why is Mrs. sleeping here?" ”

"I have a headache, except for the hairpin ring, which is lying here." The waiter also lowered his voice and asked, "Mrs. let you dry the summer clothes?" ”

"It's almost the same, but I just packed up my clothes and didn't find my wife's 100 butterflies to wear a floral skirt made in July last year, I obviously remember that it was put in the cage, but I didn't find it after rummaging through, so I came to ask my wife if she knew. I happened to meet Sleeve in the hall, and she said that the eldest lady sent Liuyin to send flowers to his wife, and asked me to ask if my wife was busy. ”

"Mrs. has been worrying about the second lady's affairs these days, so let's let her sleep more. Mrs. that skirt was later given to the second lady, and you went to your house that day, so I don't know. Later, your mother was not sick, and you stayed for a few more days, and when you came back, you forgot about it. As for the flower ......"

Before the waiter finished speaking, Zhao woke up slowly, heard the maid whispering, sat up and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"My wife is awake." Shiqin and Shishu heard the movement and hurriedly stood up.

Shiqin said: "Liuyin of Luomei Courtyard sent flowers to his wife on the order of the eldest lady. Would you like to see your wife? ”

"This is a trivial matter, and you will accept it directly in the future." Zhao pressed the corner of his eye, and was about to wave his hand to say no, but he remembered something, and changed his words, "Take her in." ”

"Yes."

The squire went out in response and let the sleeves come in with the stream.

Liuyin is Lin Bining's second-class maid, and the tender pink is more petite and lovely than the armor, and she speaks in a soft and glutinous Jiangnan voice: "Say hello to my wife." The eldest lady saw that the flowers in the garden were blooming well, so she specially selected some for the masters to enjoy. ”

The waiter took the blue and white entwined lotus vase from Liuyin's hand, and Zhao saw that this flower resembled a peony and did not have the richness of a peony, and it had a bit of a fresh and refined taste, so he liked it very much, so he asked: "Is this a peony?" ”

"Yes, madam, Miss said that this is called White Jade Peony, and the Dan Jealousy Red given to Second Miss is newly cultivated this year."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao's mouth rose a little: "Oh, the eldest lady has a heart, and she is still thinking about Wen girl." ”

Liuyin secretly glanced at Zhao, thought for a while and said, "Second Miss is the younger sister of the eldest miss, of course the eldest lady is thinking about the second miss." No, the second lady's flowers were sent by the eldest lady herself. ”

Lin Bining is still the same Lin Bining, she told her to go to Linglong Pavilion with her front foot and she went with her back foot, Zhao laughed with satisfaction, and saw that the maid who spoke was not the one Lin Bining often followed, so he asked kindly: "You girl is a sensible person, what is her name, why haven't you seen it before." ”

Liuyin saw that his words were right, so he smiled shyly and said: "The name is Liuyin, it is the eldest lady who is in charge of the tea, and the two sisters are like smoke on weekdays, so the wife doesn't know each other." ”

The Zhao family basically hasn't been to Luomei Courtyard much, and the last time Lin Bining was sick, he stayed for a long time, but it was a mess at that time, and he didn't pay attention to the little maid who brought tea and water.

"Well, serve your master attentively and tell her that I like the flowers she sent."

Then she asked the waiter to open the box and take a little green butterfly hairpin, which was regarded as a reward for Lin Bining to be so obedient, and rewarded Liuyin with an eight-point gold bill, Liuyin carefully put away the things and went back to his life.

The flowers sent by Lin Bining were quite in line with Zhao's wishes, so she asked the waiter to put the vase on the high table next to the Huanghuali big step bed. The waiter was just about to go out with a vase, but Zhao called her to stop her and put it in the hall, and then told the waiter to call Wan's mother.

After the waiter put the vase and returned to the east room to serve her to comb her hair and get dressed, Shiqin came with a slightly chubby middle-aged woman who was neatly dressed.

Mother Wan first greeted the Zhao family, and then asked respectfully, "What are the instructions for the wife to call me here?" ”

"You go to the outer courtyard to inquire, where did the master go today? When will you be back? ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Wan answered.

Zhao remembered that he had asked the maid to dry his clothes in the morning, so he asked Shiqin, "How are the clothes you were asked to dry?" ”

Shiqin replied: "Mrs., don't worry, everything has been properly sunned, and there is nothing bad about it when it was cleaned up in the last year." Just wait for the afternoon to be retracted and the heat will be dissipated. ”

Zhao Shi instructed uneasily: "Look at the cats and dogs carefully, those beasts love to pull clothes the most." ”

Shiqin smiled: "Don't worry, madam, I called two mothers-in-law to stare at each other, and I didn't dare to approach a mosquito even if I called it......"

Without waiting for the servant to finish speaking, Zhao hurriedly interrupted: "How can you ask your mother-in-law to watch!" The mother-in-law's hands are thick and strong, and she has not ruined those good clothes. You quickly find two other maids who have never done rough work and have tender hands to watch. ”

Shiqin hurriedly responded, and did not forget to pat Zhao's ass: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, I'll go." ”

In fact, she didn't care about it in her heart, and the two mothers-in-law were just chasing cats and dogs, and they touched his wife's clothes wherever they could. Mrs. is just exquisite.

If you want to say that the maids with tender hands are full of courtyards, they are only themselves and a few first-class maids who serve books and chess, and they can't be asked to watch. Shiqin frowned and was embarrassed for a long time, and finally found two little maids in the pantry.

Before the meal, Mother Wan came back and replied to Zhao: "One of the little servants next to the master went home yesterday on leave, and the other went out with the master." I asked the person Xiang Zhixuan was waiting for, and said that the master went out very early today, but he didn't say where to go. Later, I met Steward Lin, and I learned that the lord invited the guests of Prince Zhong's Mansion to Zuixiang House for dinner. ”

"Did Steward Lin say why the master invited that guest?" Zhao asked.

Mother Wan shook her head: "This Steward Lin didn't say it. ”

"You go to Xiang Zhixuan early in the afternoon and wait, when the master comes back, he will say that I have something to discuss with the master, let the master come over." Zhao emphasized, "Remember to invite the master to Tingyuxuan for dinner." ”

"Yes, I wrote it down."

After lunch, Zhao did not take a break as usual, but directed the people in the courtyard to prepare busily, changing the curtains and curtains, and listing the menu for the kitchen to prepare early.

The maid was full of questions, why did she toss these things before the summer.
