Chapter 55: In a Dream
said that Lin Xi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but Zhao did not relent, and shouted more and more: "Just know that you are wrong?" If you don't have a long memory, you don't know how much wrong you have made. ”
Zhao looked at Lin Xi condescendingly, and saw that she had a double bun of hair, only two flowers were embellished, and there was nothing else, and her clothes were half-old but not new. The appearance of eleven or twelve years old, a small face is seven or eight points in color.
There was contempt in her eyes, such a poor girl was really a person in the courtyard of the third girl, but I was afraid that she was just a rough girl.
It is said that the three girls are the most particular about their lives, and she only saw what the fairy mansion was when she entered the courtyard. Pavilions and pavilions, strange rocks, full of precious flowers and plants, flowers all the way to brocade, all the way to the eyes are not enough to see, just a few maids who serve the three girls are like flowers and jade, compared to the average ordinary lady to wear well, the food and clothing must be first-class exquisite, the happy Zhao heart is itchy, just thinking about serving such a rich lady, must be more than in Aunt Zhou's yard, this more than half a year she has relied on Aunt Zhou's relationship to make more money than in the capital noodle stall, Besides, most of the money earned by his family has to be handed over, and he can't save money at all on weekdays. I feel more and more that it is right to come from the capital, and the stupid big man in the family still thinks that the feet of the Son of Heaven are better than Yangcheng, if she hadn't scolded her own man's ears well, maybe she would not want to come.
It was only when she came over that she found that Aunt Zhou was just bright on the surface, but in fact, she didn't have much silver in her hand, and although there were not many maids in her yard, she was very good. Aunt Zhou is already powerless, and she gives out a lot of reward money every month, if it weren't for Aunt Zhou doing this, I'm afraid that she wouldn't even be able to do superficial respect.
Zhao had heard a few mothers-in-law and maids complain behind their backs, and her past theories were ridiculed and ridiculed, and Aunt Zhou knew that she just shook her head and punished those mothers-in-law and maids for a month's silver.
On the contrary, because of this incident, the Zhao family was excluded from everything, suffered a few losses and learned to be obedient, took the initiative to send some things to others, and went up and down, left and right, after all, it was a person who was related to Aunt Zhou, and the people in the yard were not good at doing too much, seeing that she understood her situation and did not take it big, she did not act in secret. A few days later, at least there was a sense of harmony on the surface.
Here Zhao felt that he couldn't get oil and water, I heard that there was a mother-in-law's daughter-in-law in the yard of the third girl who was about to give birth, and the son was a shopkeeper in the shop of the Li Mansion on weekdays, and now it was the time when the business was good, and he couldn't go back at all. The daughter-in-law had a big belly and no one to take care of it, so she took two months off to go back to take care of her daughter-in-law, and came back when her daughter-in-law gave birth.
It happened that this missing son was turned by the Zhao family, and he came to the courtyard of the three girls early this morning, and met Lin Xi, who was dozing in the pavilion.
"What's your name? Which mom did the work? Zhao saw that Lin Xi's eyes were red, and he didn't dare to hold back his tears, he was a little proud, but he pulled a face and asked.
"I, my name is Bao'er, and I'm under Sister Yuxiang." Lin Xi lowered his head with a hint of timidity.
"What do you do?" Zhao heard that it was a maid who worked under the hands of a first-class girl, and the first-class girl was the girl's personal maid, and she could afford a deputy miss, she paused, thinking that she had just come here, and she was not familiar with the situation, and this girl was not a person who had nothing, and her tone was not as arrogant as Fang Cai, but she was still condescending: "If you do things in the girl's yard, you should do things well, and I have a good temper, thinking that you little girls are not easy, and when I see it, I just talk about it verbally, and teach you a lesson, Otherwise, you little girls, there will be something wrong with serving the master in the future, and it will be light to lose your job when the time comes. ”
Lin Xi thought about it in his heart: I have never seen this woman before, but I am afraid that she has only come recently, looking at her appearance, it is clear that she wants to teach me a good lesson, this will be a partial and peaceful attitude, I am afraid that it is because I heard that I am working under Yuxiang's hands. More likely, you want to ask me about it.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi's face was still timid, and he whispered: "I am the maid who is responsible for delivering food to the girl and watering the flowers."
The woman really asked her a lot of questions, Lin Xi picked out some unimportant ones and answered them one by one, and closed her mouth when she didn't say something, shook her head with a blank look and said I don't know, Zhao didn't have a useful word here for her, but she knew a lot of inconsequential things. I couldn't help but be depressed in my heart, seeing Lin Xi's stunned appearance, she was even more disgusted in her heart, she shook it, and casually found a reason to go elsewhere.
Seeing that the woman was gone, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking of Fang Cai's dream, and looked around the pavilion, and saw that the flowers were brocade, the green grass was lush, the breeze was coming, and the people who were blowing were drowsy, and they didn't know what was in or out of the dream.
A trace of loneliness was sprinkled between her eyebrows, Lin Xi quickly let it disappear, cheered up and began to water the flowers, she took a nap for a while, but it was not as uncomfortable as just now.
In another part of the Lin Mansion, Qian Shi had eaten and was picking up the mouthwash handed over by Li's mother to rinse his mouth.
Mother Li handed over the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Mrs. has breakfast, why don't you go outside, the weather is just right today, and it is good to eat."
The weather in early summer is not hot, it has only rained these days, and the early morning weather is exceptionally cool, which is suitable for going out.
Qian said with a smile: "It's not good to be stuffy in the house all the time, I see that the weather is good these days, let's go to the temple tomorrow to burn incense, or go to the mountains to see the scenery, you will find someone to arrange the arrangement, notify the second and third girls, the eldest young master and the third young master also notify me, let a few children accompany me."
The largest temple in Yangcheng is called Bodhi Temple, which is located in the middle of the mountainside, about ten miles away from Lifu, and is a place with excellent scenery. In the past few years, it has also developed well, and the incense is flourishing, and Li's mother promised to help Qian go for a walk in the courtyard.
"Madam, speaking of which, the second girl is going to get married in a few months." Mother Li was behind the former again, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I watched this child grow up little by little, but I didn't expect to get married in a blink of an eye, I'm really old." Qian smiled and said, "You help me keep an eye on it and see if there's anything missing." I have some good things here, and today you took the time to send them to her, and this kid is afraid that he still complains about me. ”
Although the women's wedding dresses are made by themselves, the cumbersome degree of wedding dresses of the rich and noble families does not need to be expressed one by one. The girls were just done with symbolic embroidery on their clothes.
