The heavy snow fell for two days before it stopped, and in the hibiscus courtyard, a clump of green bamboo on the side of the corner corridor was bent over and fell in the corridor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Lan is directing a few mothers-in-law and little maids to peel the snow off the fallen bamboo, support it with some wooden sticks, and straighten the originally upright bamboo. And those who were crushed had to be cut down together.

After working for most of the day, it can be regarded as retidying up the corridor, and a few maids and mothers-in-law who have contributed are all busy sweating, which will be regarded as resting in the corridor, picking up some missing places and tidying up a little.

"Alas, the girl is still writing big characters, the snow has stopped today, the weather is just right, if the girl can go out for a walk, how good it would be, when I passed by the back garden yesterday, I found that the plum blossoms there are all open, the fragrance is fragrant, the smell is comfortable, the girl will like it."

The little girl's name is Chun Tao, she was only assigned to the hibiscus courtyard this year, she has a child, Lao Tzu is an old man in the house, she also has a sister named Qiu Tao, and now she is on an errand in the third girl Ji Nianxi house in the second room, and she is a second-class maid.

Chun Tao took a broom and stood in the corridor, but her eyes were looking at the window of the east room where Ji Nianjin was, and she said with a sigh.

"Chun Tao, you are so worried about the girl, why don't you go to the back garden in person and break off a few plums and come back.

You also know that our girl is considered to be filial piety, but whenever there is some time, she must go to accompany her wife, if you don't go to Qingxin Garden, the door of this hibiscus courtyard will not come out, and it is unlikely that the girl will go to see Lamei.

In the past, I could still see a few girls from the second and third rooms coming to play with the girls, and there was still some laughter and laughter in our hibiscus courtyard, but recently, even the girls from the second and third rooms didn't come much. ”

Another little girl answered, what she said, but it made Chun Tao and the others nod, yes, it seems that since the girl was sick once, no one else has come to this hibiscus courtyard.

"The girls in the second room didn't come, it seems that the second girl annoyed our girl, saying that our girl was stingy, and she didn't even come with the third girl and the fifth girl."

The spring peach god said mysteriously, and swore an oath.

Her words can be taken seriously, because Chun Tao's sister is not the maid in the second girl's house.

"Chun Tao, who did you listen to? Your sister? Our girls are the most kind-hearted, where does this stinginess start? ”

A mother-in-law saw that things were almost busy, and she also joined in.

Chun Tao glanced at Bai Lan, and saw that she was sweeping the snow that was splashed on her body, and did not pay attention to them, so she said in a low voice:

"I also heard what my sister said when she came home yesterday, don't spread the word about it. I don't know what's going on, the second girl doesn't seem to be very happy lately, so everyone in the house is worried all day long, for fear that she won't be able to do her errands.

My sister said that she listened to a third-class little girl in the Snow Pavilion, just because she said a good word about our girl in the courtyard, so that the second girl heard it, and she didn't ask the reason, so she was thrown out. ”

"Hey, how do you say this, our girl is good, no one is allowed to say it, besides, usually, isn't the second girl the best friend of our girl? Not to mention that I come to Hibiscus Courtyard every day, I always come to visit every two or three days, why is it that just because a little girl said a word, she has to take someone out? If you want to say that the fourth girl is like this, I still believe it, but the second girl's words, can't you? ”

The woman said suspiciously.

"I don't know this, my sister didn't say it very clearly when she went home, I only knew that I heard another girl in the snow hall say that the second girl came back one day, and started a fire, saying that our girl is not good, that is not good, relying on the identity of the concubine, she looks down on people or something. The girl didn't dare to listen to it more, and asked the willow catkins sister next to the second girl to send it away, so she didn't know the specific thing. ”

Chun Tao shook her head, she had the same idea as the mother-in-law, if you want to say who in this Hou Mansion doesn't like Ji Nianjin the most, that is, the fourth girl in the third room, who is also the identity of the concubine, and the food and clothing are not bad at all, just because Ji Nianjin has a father who is the son of the world, and the four girls will have to suppress Ji Nianjin in everything. It is also common to say some bad things about Ji Nianjin behind his back, which is not a secret in the Hou Mansion.

Coupled with the spoiling of the old lady Li, the four girls can be said to be the only ones in the Hou Mansion, and sometimes, even Ji Nianjin has to go to the back row.

"It can be seen, this person is used to having a set of backs on the surface, the second girl usually looks at a more amiable person, but I didn't expect this to be a fake in private!"

The mother-in-law rubbed her frozen red hands and sighed, in this Hou Mansion compound, they have to be careful not to make a mistake, if they offend the master, aren't they the ones who are unlucky.

In a word, several people fell silent, Chun Tao was thinking about her sister, if the second girl is really not so good, is her sister worried every day, if her sister makes a mistake in the future, how can it be good?

"One by two, is the matter done? What are you talking about, you can arrange the affairs of the masters? There's still so much snow in this yard, and if you slip and fall girl, I think you should all get out!" ”

Bai Lan scolded, so frightened that a few little girls and mother-in-law were busy praising and not daring, and quickly picked up the utensils at hand and scattered.

Shoveling snow shoveling, sweeping the floor, all of them are silent and holding their breath and concentrating on what they are doing.

Bai Lan snorted coldly, walked along the corridor, walked to the door of the main room, and happened to meet Bai Zhi coming out of the house with the curtain lifted.

"The girl asked me to come out and ask, what kind of anger are you doing, the voice is so loud that even the girl can hear it."

Bai Lan raised her head, motioned Bai Zhi to look at the mother-in-law and girls in the courtyard, and said in an unhappy tone:

"It's not because of those people, but if you don't look at it, you know that you are lazy and idle, and you dare to arrange the girls' things, you don't know what they are talking about, what the second girl is angry in the house, annoying our girl, saying that our girl looks down on people because of her identity as a concubine, and becomes stingy and mean, and even the third and fifth girls with the second room don't come to our hibiscus courtyard. Listen, what is this called? ”

Bai Lan said angrily, telling Bai Zhi to cover her mouth too late.

"You, you, what is good about you, you are so loud, don't you let the girl hear it, you yourself feel angry, is it that our girl is made of mud, and does not know how to be angry? Bai Lan, since it's gossip, just listen to it, don't say that this is a matter in the courtyard of the eldest girl in the second room, whether it's true or not, even if this matter is true, how can you be a maid who can manage it? I didn't have to let the girl know, and I had to suffer a lot of anger.

Bai Zhi is helpless, Bai Lan is like this, her temperament is straight and simple, she can't listen to the slightest thing that Ji Nianjin is not good, but there is a lot of helplessness in this Hou Mansion, sometimes even Ji Nianjin can't do it, what can they do as maids.
