The mother and daughter talked for a while, Li Biqi left, and Aunt Wu sent her daughter to the courtyard gate before reluctantly returning to the room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Aunt Wu went back to the room, sat on the dresser, combed her hair herself, inserted a jade-inlaid amethyst step, and dripped water droplets of the same color on her forehead to pretend to be eyebrow pendant, she glanced at it, and brought a few beaded flowers to be satisfied.
The young woman in the mirror looks twenty-five or sixteen, her eyebrows are mountain peaks, and the water is the horizontal waves of her eyes.
The maid who followed behind saw the stunning face in the mirror, only to feel as bright as spring, as bright as the autumn moon, with new cheeks, greasy goose fat, and a smile that was moving.
"Auntie is really good-looking, like a fairy in the sky." The maid sighed.
"My lord will be back tomorrow, and I can't go to meet him." Aunt Wu sighed faintly, what qualifications does an aunt have to be the master of the house.
"Auntie, why be sad, although you can't go out, but the master will come to you every time he comes back, it's too late to spoil you and love you!" The maid behind him spoke.
This maid's name is Ziwei, now fourteen years old, when she was five years old, she was transferred to Aunt Wu's side to serve, so many years step by step to serve in Aunt Wu's house, she has long had a thorough understanding of her temperament, and naturally knows what kind of words her master likes to hear. Ziwei stepped forward to look at Aunt Wu and said with a smile: "Auntie and the old man's childhood sweetheart, in the master's heart, the aunt is naturally on the tip of her heart."
Aunt Wu was really happy when she heard this, and only looked at the woman in the mirror and smiled happily: "I have known him since childhood, and I naturally understand what he wants."
Ziwei listened, but she was quite sympathetic in her heart, auntie, auntie, the lord is just relying on your beautiful color, so he spoils and hurts you, if he really loves you, how can he wronged you to be an aunt.
Auntie, no matter how favored she is, she can't be on the stage.
Let's say that Aunt Wu is in a good mood, she has been enjoying the flowers in the yard for a long time, and the things that she used to think were boring, as long as she thinks of seeing that person tomorrow, the joy in her heart will overflow.
Lin Xi here is idle and panicked, listening to the maids talk about the short time of the east and west family every day, time just passed by between his fingers, and a month passed slowly.
Let's say that this month, the old man Li Rong went home for four or five days, and the three girls would go over every day to ask their father for peace. Li Xue and her cousin Jiang Ning have a deep sisterhood, they often get together to talk, or go out of the house to visit jewelry stores and clothing stores, the two sisters are together every day, and their relationship is better day by day, and even the maids in the house say that the two are not cousins, like sisters-in-law.
In addition to walking around Jiangning, Li Xue also went to the eldest lady very diligently, the second-class maid Yuelan next to Li Xue was quite talented in eating, Li Xue had to bring a few special snacks every time she went over, and she would always coax the eldest lady to be happy.
Of course, these are just the affairs of the masters, and they have nothing to do with these little maids.
Lin Xi only cares about delivering food and doing needlework every day, and his life is peaceful.
Qiao'er used to serve the cousin, and her life was comfortable, but in the end, she was a person on the third girl's side, although she was only a third-class maid in the past, and the personal maid next to the cousin was also kind to them. For more than a month, Liu Er has grown some flesh and looks energetic, and Lin Xi took the time to look at it a few times, and he was relieved.
But said that on this day, Lin Xi was instructed to go to the Qian family's courtyard to spread the word, walking halfway, suddenly heard a low exclamation, she followed the voice and saw a young master in gorgeous clothes holding a girl in green clothes in his arms, the maid looked ashamed, struggling in the arms of the young man, looking at her only twelve or thirteen years old, the appearance is quite iconic, but at the moment it is pear blossoms with rain, but he does not dare to call loudly.
The young man looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had a Meng Lang face and a frivolous demeanor, Lin Xi knew this person, it was Li Junting, the third young master from the house, and his biological mother was Aunt Zhou.
Lin Xi disdained it in his heart, this Li family's poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and Zhong Ming Ding Food Family, the children who taught it were so unsuccessful. People come and go on this road, hooking up with the maid and not knowing how to find a remote place, despise it for a moment before recalling, they all say that the Qian family has always been amiable to their children, even the concubines and concubines never put on a face, and now it seems that Li Junting's appearance must be deliberate, and the concubines who are not in the climate naturally cannot threaten people.
There are those pickled things in every house, and they have long been surprised by this kind of thing, Lin Xi only sighed in his heart for a while, but his footsteps did not stop, and he hurriedly went to do what he should do.
After replying, it was raining when he came back on the road, Lin Xi didn't bring an umbrella, this good weather turned out to change, and within a few minutes, the raindrops of beans fell densely, only pouring Lin Xi's whole body into a cold. Nothing was dry.
This kind of rain comes and goes quickly, Lin Xi hurriedly found a pavilion to shelter from the rain, cursed in his heart and cursed the thief, hugging his body and trembling.
On the day of April, it is said that it is not hot, it is not cold, but the rain falls on the body, it is still very cold, she is soaked from the inside out, the cool air is drilled into the body, and there is no wall in the pavilion, the wind blows on the body, and the cold skin has goosebumps.
After a quarter of an hour, the rain outside was still not light, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, Lin Xi was helpless, it was not a way to sit here and wait, anyway, it was already soaked, why did he care so much, he simply gritted his teeth and rushed into the rain, and ran quickly.
Running wildly in the rain, Lin Xi couldn't hear anything except the sound of the rain, such a day, such a rain reminded her of her previous life, it was also such a heavy rain at that time, she hid in the broken temple with her younger brother, Lin Xi only felt that the rain fell on her body and hurt extraordinarily, she slowly stopped, tears fell silently, and the rain fell in one place, unable to distinguish where the rain was and where the tears were.
The grievances and sadness in his heart erupted in this rainy day, and the more Lin Xi thought about it, the more sad he became, and finally couldn't help crying like a child.
Of course, in fact, she looks like a child, and of course it is normal for her to cry.
In the heavy rain, there was no one around at all, and Lin Xi's crying was intermittent in the rain, and he couldn't really hear it, but he never thought that a figure was also drenched like her, and it was really seen not far away.
Lin Xi cried enough, and quickly restrained his emotions, his face looked calm and waveless, and he couldn't see anything except that his eyes were a little red.
Lin Xi returned to the yard like a chicken in soup, and when she saw her like this, the mother in charge hurriedly asked her to go back to rest and change her clothes, and told the little maid to cook a bowl of ginger soup.
Lan Cao saw that Lin Xi had fallen into the house like a soup chicken, so she hurriedly rushed up and took off her clothes, covered her with a blanket, and went to the kitchen to ask for a basin of hot water.
Lan Cao sat down beside her, looked at Lin Xi and said, "This rain is so fierce, you can't wait for the rain to stop and come back?"
"Good sister. You think I don't want to, but halfway down, the rain fell, and I thought that I was getting wet anyway, and it was only right to run back quickly, so it can be seen that my decision was correct. The rain hasn't stopped yet! ā
