Chapter 62: The Spark
Early the next morning, Mama Jiang woke up with a splitting headache, but it was on her bed. The surroundings were still quiet, except for the occasional sound of maids sweeping or intermittent whispering. Mama Jiang rubbed her sore head, and then realized that she was still covered with a thick blanket.
How can it be? She's ......
She rolled over and got out of bed and broke into the gate of the courtyard, and the maid who was sweeping the floor was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Mama is up." ”
"When did I come back?"
Yes? The little maid didn't understand why she asked this question at all, but still replied truthfully: "Last night, Mama said that you were going to see the eldest lady again, so let's rest first." "It used to be like this, but how can Mama have such an expression today?
Mama Jiang knew that she couldn't ask anything more, so she turned back to the inner room and dressed neatly to find Lin Fangyu.
When she came to the door, she could hear a burst of laughter before she could lift the curtain. Mama Jiang swallowed back the words that she wanted to open her mouth, but at this time Qiao'er had already seen her and said to her with a smile: "Mama is here, the eldest lady is thinking about it." ”
Lin Fangyu was grooming in the mirror, not far from her, Gong Miaoyin was drinking tea, and Gong Miaotong came with her, and the personal maids of the two people, Xiaoyu and Xiaolian, were all on the side.
"Miss Cousin came so early today." Mama Jiang said.
Gong Miaoyin covered her mouth and smiled: "Cousin, your grandmother is getting more and more interesting, obviously she overslept by herself, and she is afraid of blame, so she has to drag me into the water." ”
Mama Jiang was startled and overslept! She's never been later than her master!
"Miss, old slave ......" is wrong no matter what, she doesn't want to excuse herself.
Lin Fangyu thought about the scene last night, thinking that Mama Jiang was overly worried, so she didn't sleep well, and after delaying for a long time, she had the heart to protect her: "You, don't worry about a little thing." I often heard my mother say that when she was serving at my grandfather's house, she was even younger than we are now! "Even if it's an aunt, she has to look at the love she served back then to give her a little face, which is to accuse Gong Miaoyin of not remembering the old love.
Gong Miaoyin ignored the sarcasm in her words, and still smiled: "You know that she is your cousin, you are used to it, I just said a few words casually." Why, I will be happy with your master and servant, and I will be the icing on the cake if I am not happy. ”
She thought that Lin Fangyu would follow along, but Lin Fangyu said seriously: "Yes, I just protect her, because she is the person I brought, if any of you bully her, I will not follow." ”
Gong Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, turned her head to Gong Miaotong and said, "It seems that my cousin loves you more than me, and even my grandmother knows to make fun of me." ”
Gong Miaotong saw that the war had spread to him for no reason, so he smiled perfunctorily and did not answer. Gong Miaoyin was bored, unhappy, stood up and said, "I've been in this room for a long time, I'm panicking, Xiaoyu, go out for a walk with me." While walking to Lin Fangyu's side, looking at her in the mirror, her plain makeup couldn't hide the coldness of her eyes, Qiao'er added a tassel to her hair bun, the tassel was swaying, it was so good-looking.
"Okay, you just wait a little longer, it's hot in the house and let the subordinates reduce some charcoal, why bother to wronged yourself." Lin Fangyu couldn't stand Gong Miaoyin's sour tone the most, she wasn't a sincere cousin in the first place, she didn't say it as if their mother and daughter treated her very well, and she was still towards Gong Miaotong. A dignified concubine still has to eat the vinegar of a concubine, doesn't it make people laugh off their big teeth when it is passed on?
Mama Jiang also said: "Although the slave maid is the wife's companion, she also has countless feelings with the palace lady, and Miss Biao's words are too outrageous." In the old slave's heart, Miss Table and the eldest and second miss are the same. ”
What Gong Miaoyin lacks is a step down, what she wants is to be different in the hearts of others, at least more noble than Gong Miaotong, a concubine! Now that she has both, she no longer insisted, sat back with a smile, and said, "I also look at your cousin's face, so let's sit down for a while." ”
Gong Miaotong knew that Gong Miaoyin wanted to say a few words just now, and her non-statement may have offended Gong Miaoyin, the sister-in-law, if she wants to make a living under her mother-in-law, she must repair any cracks between her and her sister-in-law, so she also echoed: "Sister, sit down, the sedan chair will take a while." ”
Gong Miaoyin didn't respond, sat down arrogantly, and began to instruct Xiaoyu to pinch her shoulders and beat her back, and a hundred blames, one will dislike Xiaoyu's hands are too heavy, and the other will dislike Xiaoyu not being in place, in short, he is not satisfied.
Seeing this, Qiao'er smiled and said, "Miss Biao, can you let the slave and maid try?" ”
Gong Miaoyin has looked at this inconspicuous maid several times since she entered the door, and she is familiar with the maid next to Lin Fangyu is Bauhinia Ziluo, and others are disdainful. In terms of appearance, she is not as charming as Ziluo, and in terms of talent, she doesn't seem to be as stable as Zijing, but if you want to say that she is useless, it is not true. Especially her eyes, when she stares at you, it seems to see through you.
Gong Miaoyin coughed unconsciously, pretending to be scalded by the tea, and said, "You maid is a noodle student, and she was promoted from the second class?" Almost certainly in tone. Originally, people like Zijing were almost bought by their mothers, which shows how failed my cousin was in controlling people's hearts and managing people. If they can get Bauhinia, they will definitely be able to take down the maid called Qiao'er in front of them! To be promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid, it is definitely not a simple thing, and if you use people well, you will have a lot less troubles. This is what her mother told her, and this Qiao'er, even if she rises up, is not far behind in her bones! She wouldn't have taken it for granted.
"Well, the appearance is also considered Zhouzheng, but it is not as good as Ziluo." She also has two maids by her side, Xiaoyu looks average, specializes in serving her closely, and the other one looks better, when she gets married and pregnant in the future, she will be raised as an aunt with good looks, anyway, the deed of sale is in her hands, and it is her word to pinch and flatten. These mothers had already told her, but the cousin didn't seem to be aware of it, and she didn't know how to manage it, it seems that the aunt who lives in Biandu is really as sick as the person sent by her mother to find out!
Lin Fang said: "Your cousin Fei can't do without Ziluo. ”
Gong Miaoyin didn't say much, in her opinion, this cousin at least had a little IQ, and that chubby cousin Fei was a fool at all! I don't know what kind of mind my mother has, but she is more attentive to her than to herself! Thinking of this, she was a little pantothenic: "Yes, it's good to be young, you don't know anything, and you can get anything." ”
Gong Miaotong couldn't sit still, she felt that Sister Chang was insinuating and sarcastically mocking her every word! If she doesn't do something and say something, maybe next time it won't be two prickly words, a spark can start a prairie fire, Gong Miaotong doesn't want to die innocently in the battle between her sister and her! So she stood up and said tremblingly: "Sister, why don't you let me share your worries, these things have always been done by me." ”
