Chapter 6 Visitors
There were five or six people walking around on the nine-song corridor, led by two young girls who were talking and laughing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Cousin, I'm here this time, but I want to stay a few more days, you promised me last time." The girl who spoke looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, with her temples combed, a head flower with ruby beads pressed on it, and a few crimson silk flowers, and a pair of ruby drop earrings on her pink and small earlobes.
She was wearing a flower-sprinkled smoke shirt on her upper body, with a phoenix tail skirt of the same color, the girl was tall, fair-skinned, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, it was Li Xue, the third girl of Yihua Academy.
Li Xue was holding a young girl, who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pleated Ruyi moon skirt. On the head is a simple snail sideburns, with a red gold phoenix hairpin wrapped in silk, a pair of amethyst earrings, and a pair of agate jade bracelets on the hand.
The girl's lips are like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, and she has a standard melon seed face, but the only fly in the ointment is that her skin is not fair enough. Somewhat black.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly when he heard this, and quipped: "I haven't seen my sister in the past few days, and the flowers and moons are getting more and more falling, and I am afraid that this marriage proposal will break through the threshold in the future."
"Cousin, why don't you mention kissing, I'm still young!" Li Xue's face turned red, but a familiar figure suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Cousin, you are also 15 years old this year, but your aunt has set you up? I don't know what kind of man will be able to get into my cousin's eyes in the future. Li Xue looked at her and said with a smile.
"Stinky girl, you're going to make fun of me! When I meet my aunt, I'll tell her carefully, and see if she doesn't teach you a lesson! Jiang Ning stretched out his slender jade fingers, lightly tapped Li Xue's forehead, and smiled helplessly.
A few maids around me listened to what the master said happily, and also echoed a few words, and they were happy and laughing along the way.
Walking through the nine-song corridor, not far away is the residence of the eldest lady. After passing through a door, I saw a mother-in-law standing respectfully outside the door, and when she saw her, she smiled and said: "Mrs. was still reading just now, saying that she should come over at this time, no, let the old slave wait outside the door!"
"Thank you Mother Li." Li Xue looked at the mother-in-law and smiled softly, then turned her head to look at the few maids who followed them and said, "You go to the side room and wait."
The woman's face became more and more respectful: "It's all the duty of the old slave, and the third girl is polite."
The eldest lady likes to be quiet, she doesn't like a lot of people, and when she listens to her own girl's words, a few maids nod their heads and say yes.
The two maids who followed Jiang Ning saw that their girls didn't speak, so they saluted and followed the maids to the side room.
Jiang Ning and Li Xue followed Li's mother into the house, and saw a beautiful woman standing on the chair of the Huanghuali Taishi, and the mother-in-law stood quietly in the corner when she entered the room, like an old monk in a fixed place.
"Ning'er greets her aunt!" Jiang Ning looked at the beautiful woman on the chair, and bowed in a proper manner, and her movements were as graceful and skillful as flowing water.
"Say hello to my mother." After Li Xue saw Jiang Ning salute, she also bowed in a proper manner.
"I was still reading it just now, but here, come here. Let my aunt take a good look! Seeing Jiang Ning coming forward, Qian quickly got up and took her hand and sat down, looking at Jiang Ning and smiling dotingly: "I haven't seen you for two years, and there are more and more signs of falling."
"I haven't seen my aunt for two years, but when Ning'er saw it, my aunt was much younger than before." Jiang Ning let the Qian family pull him, and smiled softly.
"Your girl's mouth looks like honey." Qian listened to it, became softer and softer, and looked at her and smiled.
"Mother, she only talks to her cousin, ignores me, I don't follow." Li Xue on the side looked at this picture and pretended to be dissatisfied.
"You mud monkey, I don't see you coming to me every day to say hello, but today your cousin is here, but I will be jealous." Qian tapped Li Xue's forehead and scolded with a smile.
"Mother Li! You go and ask people to inform the brothers and sisters in each courtyard, and ask them to go to the main hall for dinner later. Go talk to Huang's mother and ask her to prepare dinner. ”
Mother Li in the corner listened to the order, nodded yes, and withdrew.
said that Lin Xi had just finished lunch here, and heard Huang's mother's order to clean the Yihua Courtyard, and Lin Xi got the order and picked up the broom to sweep the yard.
After a while, a mother came to the yard and said a few words to Huang's mother, who was telling things, and Huang's mother ordered three or four mothers-in-law and two little maids to leave Yihua Courtyard.
Xiao Liu beside Lin Xi was also holding a broom, because no one was watching, so the broom swept the bluestone ground for a while, looking at the clean ground without a single leaf, and asked wonderingly, "What did Mother Huang go out for?" And brought so many people. ”
"Today, the Li family has a visitor, the girls will definitely not use the small kitchen in their own yard, my mother is a capable person for my wife, and she is rigorous and meticulous in her work, so she must go out to help." Lin Xi explained.
"I see, Bao'er, what do you say that cousin girl looks like!" Xiao Yanagi nodded and asked curiously.
"Do things well, how can I know what this cousin looks like?" Lin Xi smiled, picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor.
"It's so clean here, you don't need to sweep it!" The complaining said two! sentence, Xiao Liu still picked up the broom and swept it up obediently, and there was a tower that didn't have a match to talk to Lin Xi.
After the sweep was finished, I heard the news that the third girl had given the courtyard a half-day off, and Lin Xi had leisure and went to the porch with Xiaoliu to bask in the sun and talk about family life.
The coat that Qiao'er asked her to embroider yesterday had been embroidered, Lin Xi folded it and put it in the cabinet, and took out a needle and thread to prepare to embroider some patterns on the handkerchief.
Xiao Liu sat on the small pestle, looked at Lin Xi with a needle and thread and said with a smile: "The one who will not be idle is you, the girls have given us a holiday." You still have to embroider, you really won't have a good rest. ”
"Left and right are just hand movements, and it's not a tiring job." Lin Xi picked the silk thread and said with a smile.
"Alas, we're just a rough maid, and the visitors to the house don't have a chance to go to the front to see, I've been in the house for three years, and I haven't mixed up to the third class, it's really pitiful." Xiao Liu looked at the Zhengyan flowers coming from outside and frowned, then looked at Lin Xi and said, "Bao'er, you have been in the house for a few years." ”
"It's been five years." Lin Xi replied.
"Bao'er, you've been a rough maid for five years! Pitier than me. Xiao Liu pouted, and sighed again: "The monthly money of the third-class maid is 200 Wen, which is much more than ours, and there is less work, so I run errands and do needlework, which is comfortable." You said it wasn't Boa. ”
"Yes!" Lin Xi nodded and said with a smile.
"Bao'er, I see that you don't have a few new clothes, you give money to your father every month, and you should save some for yourself."
"Boa, are you homesick? I miss my mother. Xiaoyanagi held his cheeks and chattered.
