Chapter 5: Wake up
Vera woke up completely, and the misty sunset filled the room with dreamy colors through the thick veil of rhomboids. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Vera slowly sat up and looked around her boudoir. There is a good rosewood shelf bed, an orange curtain hangs, and a "Smoke and Rain Map" hangs on the west wall.
By the window was a long table with a few books on it, and a long-necked pink vase with a few plum blossoms in it.
Several inkstones, pen washes, pen holders, and pen holders are obviously the table cases that Zhen Zhen uses to read and write.
Opposite the bed is a carved dresser, and a bronze mirror is covered with tulle, which is faintly visible as a hollow carved frame.
Two jewelry boxes of different sizes, some scattered rouge gouache porcelain bottles, a small mirror with a delicate flower handle buckled on, and a dressing box on top.
In the west corner of the wall is a bookshelf with some books and some delicate and rare knick-knacks.
Zhen Zhen got out of bed, the room should have burned the earth dragon, there was no chill. Put on your shoes and walk through the four-fold screen, there is a round table with four hoop chairs. On the table was a teapot, several teacups.
Zhen Zhen's body was a little weak, and her feet were a little weak after walking a few steps, so she sat down at the table, stabilized her mind, lifted the curtain and walked out of the bedroom.
In the middle of the room layout was a small hall, and to the east was obviously a warm pavilion, and when she walked to the door, she heard the sound of someone approaching.
Without waiting for herself to open the curtain, Qiu Yan opened the curtain and entered the house, holding a bowl of hot porridge and two dishes in her hand, "Miss, why are you up." Qiu Yan hurriedly put the tray on the square table in the main hall.
"Miss," Qiu Yan helped Zhen Zhen into the house, and Zhen Zhen waved her hand, "I'll stand at the door." ”
Qiu Yan gathered Zhen Zhen's cloak, lifted the curtain, Zhen Zhen walked out of the door, stood at the door, squinted her eyes slightly, took a deep breath of cool air, and her mind was instantly quiet.
The sun is falling in the west, shining in a silvery world, fainting layers of halos, and the earth that has been roasted by the sun for a day rises a faint mist, and it seems that those halos are like nothing, like a fairyland, there is a feeling of controlling the sky.
"Miss, let's stand less, so as not to suffer the cold again." Qiu Yan was a little worried about Zhen Zhen's body.
Zhen Zhen did not refuse, turned around and entered the room, cleaned her hands, entered the East Pavilion, and sat on the couch. Qiu Yan had already placed the porridge and side dishes on the couch.
Zhen Zhen looked at the steaming golden millet porridge, and her stomach suddenly gurgled.
Zhen Zhen couldn't wait to drink a bowl of rice porridge cleanly, and her body suddenly warmed up.
Wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Zhen Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a slight sweet taste of millet porridge in her mouth, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
Who would have thought that an ordinary bowl of rice porridge could make them so satisfied and comfortable?
The next day, she felt a lot better, at least she didn't go out of breath when she moved.
In the evening of that day, Zhen Zhen and Qiu Jin and Qiu Yan were talking in the East Pavilion, and Qiu Rui came in in a panic, "Miss, Madam is here." ”
Xiaobai's coming? What did she come to do? Without waiting for Zhen Zhen to go out to greet her, Xiao Bai's family directly entered the East Pavilion.
"My son, but he has suffered a great sin, look at how thin this little face has become!" Xiaobai affectionately took Zhen Zhen's hand and sat on the couch, looking like a loving mother.
Zhen Zhen looked at this little Bai silently, with a falling ponytail on her head, a red blonde hairpin diagonally inserted, and a few silk flowers.
She had a beautiful face, a fair complexion, and slightly larger eyes, and on that emaciated face, she remembered the horror dolls she was looking at now. The thin lips make the whole face a little mean.
"It's hard for Mrs. Zhenzhen." Zhen Zhen said politely insincerely.
Xiao Bai began to babble to express his concern, and Zhen Zhen was a little distracted thinking about the purpose of this visit.
"Mother Bai, let them in." What did Xiaobai say, Zhen Zhen didn't pay attention to listen, who did she let in?
"Zhen Zhen, this is the master of the Feather Dress Pavilion, make you some new clothes." Xiao Bai finally let go of the hand that grabbed Zhen Zhen and let the masters fiddle with it.
A few days ago, Xiaobai came to visit, and at that time, Zhen Zhen was still in a coma, so she didn't mention making clothes.
Xiao Bai completed the task and took people away, Zhen Zhen's heart was full of alarm bells, and at this time she suddenly made clothes for herself, what did she want to do?
"Qiu Man, if you're okay these days, just go around the mansion." Zhen Zhen asked Qiu Yan to take some scattered silver and give it to Qiu Man.
Qiu Man grew up in the house since he was a child, he is clever and sensible, and his mouth is sweet. It's long and cute.,It's very mixed in the house.。
Qiu Man immediately understood what the young lady meant, took the loose silver and turned around and went out.
"Miss?" Qiu Jin saw that the young lady's uneasiness was coming, and she began to worry in her heart.
"Qiu Jin, don't think about anything now, take care of your body first."
Zhen Zhen knows too well that these girls are loyal and protective of her. I don't want them to worry too much about themselves.
Qiu Jin's feet were just wrong, and they swollen after walking too much, and they could walk a little after a few days, but they couldn't walk for too long, and it was estimated that it would be almost the same for a few more days.
Qiu Rui Qiuman, who was punished by Xiaobai's family to the laundry room, was also sent back, and Zhen Zhen was not short of people for the time being, so she took it back to the house to dry, which made Zhen Zhen feel a little uneasy in her heart.
After a few days of raising like this, Zhen Zhen's body was almost good, and Zhen Zhen began to seriously consider her current situation.
The reason why the old lady, who has always regarded the honor of the family and the face of the Hou Mansion as bigger than the sky, sent Zhen Zhen to the temple nunnery was because she was afraid that Zhen Zhen would make a fuss about the resignation of her relatives, which would make people see the jokes of the Hou Mansion.
And at this most critical moment, why did you suddenly take yourself home? Could it be that my father is coming back?
Zhen Zhen shook her head, if the old lady wanted to do something, she wouldn't think about what her father thought at all.
So what else is more important than the face of the Hou Mansion that the old lady has to take herself back? Isn't the old lady afraid that she will really make trouble? Or do you feel that there is no point in making a fuss at all?
Judging from the various signs of returning to the house, his status in the house has suddenly improved a lot, judging from the Xiaobai family's diligent making of clothes, as well as the kitchen supplements from time to time, what the old lady and Xiaobai are planning must have something to do with themselves.
Zhen Zhen raised her hand and held her forehead speechlessly, she is fourteen years old this year, and she will be fifteen years old soon, if you really calculate yourself, that is, your own marriage, right?
What kind of marriage is it that makes the old lady no longer care about everything? Or what kind of value does he have to the old lady?
It seems that I really need to go to the old lady, and by the way, find out what kind of position I am in now?
After a few more days, Zhen Zhen recuperated and was almost better, so she thought about giving the old lady a peace of mind, lest those talkers hold on to themselves.
His reputation outside is already very difficult to hear, and I don't know how to spread it, saying that the third lady of the Ye family has been weak since she was a child, and she has been pampered by the elderly, she can't read a few big characters, and none of them can pick up the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Another purpose is to test the old lady's attitude.
Zhen Zhen packed herself up and wore a lilac brocade embroidered jacket with a lilac pink silk skirt tied underneath. It's a pity that the skirt was made last year, a little shorter, revealing a pair of small winter boots embroidered with rose purple satin.
Qiu Yan put on a somewhat old rose-red satin cloak for Zhen Zhen, took the hand stove, and took Qiu Yan and Qiu Rui to the old lady's Qinghui Courtyard.
As soon as she got out of the house, a cold chill seemed to invade her body immediately, and Zhen Zhen shivered a few times unconsciously.
In the past few days, the sun has been fine, the snow has almost melted, there is no snow cover, and those trees with dead branches make people look at it, and they feel the bleakness and chill of winter.
Zhen Zhen walked all the way through the verandah pavilion, and secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, this is a small Hou Mansion, covering such a large area, and the layout is so complicated, what if it is a high gate?
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at the old lady's Qinghui Courtyard. As soon as I entered the yard, someone saw the third lady coming, and immediately went into the house to report.
Zhen Zhen walked to the door of the old lady's main house, and Mother Kang greeted her, "The third lady is not in good health, so don't come out again to suffer the cold." Mother Kang hinted arrogantly that Zhen Zhen was sick and stayed in her yard, and didn't just walk around when she was fine.
Zhen Zhen didn't care that she didn't give herself a courtesy, and smiled slightly, "Our Hou Mansion has always been a house of etiquette, Zhen Zhen is already in good health, so she naturally wants to come to greet the old lady, so as not to say it, making people feel that the Hou Mansion has no rules, Mother Kang, do you say?" ”
Mother Kang can mix with the old lady on an errand, naturally she is a person with a flexible brain, a deaf and clear-eyed person, and she can't hear that the third lady is saying that she has no rules.
The old face suddenly became hot, and he gave Zhen Zhen a blessing perfunctorily, and he hated it in his heart.
Pearl raised the curtain from the house, "I've seen Miss Three." Zhen Zhen entered the house, and Pearl lowered the curtain and blessed Zhen Zhen.
I don't know if I was really in awe of myself or if I heard what I just said, but I can't fault it in etiquette.
Zhen Zhen smiled slightly, and Qiu Yan hurriedly grabbed Pearl's hand with color, "Why is my sister getting more and more beautiful." Qiu Yan looked at her sister with a little jealousy in her heart. ”
Qiu Rui took off the young lady's cloak and held it in her hand. As soon as she entered the house, a warm feeling came to her face in the room where the earth dragon had been burned, making Zhen Zhen unconsciously relax her somewhat stiff body.
Pearl glanced at Qiu Yan with a smile and took Zhen Zhen into the East Pavilion.
As soon as you enter the main hall, there is a six-fold hollow carved large screen, and the right side of the turn is the East Pavilion.
In the east pavilion, there is a Nanmu Luohan couch by the window. The bed was covered with pale yellow embroidered satin cushions, with two long pillows on either side, several large pillows behind it, and a small table in the middle. Below is a long step.
On the side of the north wall, there is a small table of eight immortals, on both sides are two Taishi chairs, and in front of it are several embroidered stools.
On the bar were steaming hot tea and a few plates of snacks. The old lady was sitting on the couch and sipping tea.
