Chapter 168: Idle chatter
The person who came was a thin girl with a thin face and thin muscles.
The hair is sparse and yellow, the facial features are flat, and the eyes are panicked and still trembling.
She lives so big, she has never seen a rich lady up close, let alone entered the lady's boudoir, which is a happy event that the world has dropped pie. The whole person is not good, I don't know what the fate will be next.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with kneeling.
"Slave, see, I've seen the eldest lady."
Lu Lu swept his eyes and smiled kindly: "Don't be afraid, I don't eat human flesh." ”
"Woo......" The little girl couldn't understand her witticism, her frightened face wrinkled, and a trace of crying broke out of her throat.
The other girls in the room covered their mouths and were happy.
"What's your name?"
"Change."
As soon as Lu Lu heard this, his parents were patriarchal, and he hoped to replace this daughter with a boy, no wonder he looked malnourished.
"How old are you?"
"Ten, ten years old."
"Where?"
Chang'er trembled and lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "People from Hejia Village." ”
Lu Lu smiled: "This village is still divided into upper and lower levels? ”
"Yes." Change the whisper.
Lu Lu changed his sitting posture and gestured, "Raise your head and speak." ”
I didn't dare to change my child, but I still hung my head.
"Xiaoqing, grab some fruit for her."
"Oh." Xiaoqing picked her up, grabbed the dim sum melon seeds from the fruit bowl and stuffed them into his hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid." Our big girl is the most amiable person. ”
"Thank you, big girl." Chang'er held a snack in his hand, sincerely grateful.
Lu Lu waved his hand: "Sit down and tell me interesting stories about the village." ”
"Huh?" Chang'er was surprised.
What's an interesting anecdote in the village, it's not interesting at all, right? This Miss Lu has really different hobbies, how can she love to listen to the folk stories of the people in Xiariba here?
Xiaoqing brought a small stool and put it at the foot of the couch.
Chang'er didn't dare to sit down.
She has only been here for half a month in the Lu family's courtyard, and she still knows a little bit about the general rules. Don't say that there is no reason for her to sit and talk in front of the young lady, even in front of the mothers in the house, she is insignificant, she can only stand.
"Sit down." Lu Lu tried his best to be kind, for fear of scaring the yellow-haired girl.
Change your swallow saliva and tense your body. After thanking him again and again, he lowered his body and touched the stool.
Lu Lu lay crookedly on the couch, supported the pillow and asked with a smile: "Who else is there at home?" ”
Chang'er has to stand up again, this time let Chuncao press. said: "Don't move, save the girl from dazzling." ”
"Chuncao, you are really my sweet little padded jacket." Lu Lu complimented.
Chuncao also rolled her eyes: "Girl, can you change the analogy?" ”
"Haha, no!" Lu Lu pounded the small couch table and laughed wantonly.
Their master and servant made such a joke. Chang'er's nervous feelings were relieved, and he obediently whispered to Lu Lu's rambling gossip.
There was a figure flickering outside the window, Xia Wen went out to take a look, and then came in and reported to Lu Lu: "Mrs. Song in the back kitchen inquired about this little girl, thinking that she had collided with the girl." ”
"Say I'll stay and listen to the village allusions to relieve my boredom."
"That's how the slave and maid came back. The housekeeper of the Zhao family came to ask the girl what dishes to add to dinner? It is said that there is game venison and rabbit meat sent from the village. ”
"One for both." When Lu Lu heard that there was venison, he licked his lips.
"Yes." Summer pattern out.
Lu Lu asked Chang'er: "Are you doing things with Mother Song?" ”
"Back girl, yes."
"Who brought you in? How much is given in January? ”
Changed his hand and wiped it on the coarse cloth clothes, and whispered back: "It's the housekeeper lady Lan's mother." He stopped, and whispered back: "Eat and live." There are also four seasons clothes. There was no monthly money in the first three months. ”
"Oh." Lu Lu didn't have much to criticize.
There are several people in Chang'er's family, and there is a sister in front of him. There are two younger brothers in the back, the family expenses are too large, and they are just ordinary tenant farmers, whether they can have food and clothing is a problem? The Lufu Courtyard recruits people, can manage food and shelter and wear clothes without patches, which is equivalent to helping the poor raise their daughters, who is not happy to come in?
"Signed a living deed?"
Chang'er frowned and thought about it, and shook her head: "The slave is illiterate." I only know how to press my mudras. The deed is in the hands of the slave and maid's father. ”
Lu Lu was frowning and thinking, and the whisper listening to Zhang Er next to him asked in surprise: "What is the name of the lady in charge?" ”
"The house is called Mother Blue."
Chuncao pointed to the whisper and smiled: "You are forgetful." Yesterday, it wasn't the housekeeper who brought the people in the house to welcome the girl. I remember, in my thirties. Dress decently and look at people kindly. ”
There were originally two or three housekeepers in the courtyard, and there were a few small housekeepers in charge of chores outside the courtyard, which were well organized.
Xiao Yu muttered softly: "I thought it was Mother Lan in Yicheng Mansion?" Who knew that there was also a mother surnamed Lan here? ”
Lu Lu unintentionally asked: "Yicheng also has a blue mother?" ”
"Don't you remember, girl? The mother next to the four girls is not surnamed Lan. Xiao Yu smiled back.
'Rub' The alarm strings in Lu Lu's brain tightened.
She turned to Natsu Wen, "Go and inquire." Is it a relative? ”
Xia Wen agreed to go out.
"Girl. What's going on? Chuncao asked in a whisper.
Lu Lu didn't lie crooked, sat up straight, and pondered: "Be careful." As the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are hidden defense. ”
Is there such a strict zhòng? Chuncao was quite unimpressed.
Chang'er, who was sitting at the foot of the couch, listened carefully, and suddenly said, "No wonder it looks familiar." ”
"What did you say?" Lu Lu asked.
Chang'er said with joy on her face: "Back to the girl, the slave saw Yulin's sister-in-law seeing off the guest from the back door a quarter of an hour ago. Very respectful. The guest slave and maid looked from afar like Mother Blue in the courtyard. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's the blue mother in Yicheng Mansion. ”
Taking a breath of cold air, Lu Lu's eyes turned cold, and he asked seriously: "Chang'er, can you take a closer look?" ”
Chang'er shrunk her head, changed to a panicked look, and lowered her head weakly and replied: "The slave and maid saw it from afar, it may also be ......" She wanted to deny it again.
Lu Lu patted her comfortingly, and said gently: "Don't be afraid. I'll just ask casually. ”
"Yes."
"Who do you see at the back door?"
"Sister-in-law Yulin."
"What does she care?"
Chang'er thought for a while: "The one who manages the warehouse, right?" ”
"Is it a send-off? Not welcome? ”
"It's a send-off. This slave can swear. ”
"Guest, do you look like Mama Blue?"
Chang'er twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, then nodded hesitantly.
"Could it be that Mother Lan in the hospital went out the back door to do private business? Are you sure it's not the same person? ”
This may also be there. There are many mothers-in-law who do private affairs in the courtyard, and most of them usually go to the front door, but now there is a master and a lady who has moved in to live, and it is not necessary to be more restrained.
Chang'er frowned again, thought about it seriously, and shook his head: "No." Mother Lan has a small pot at the corner of her mouth. ”
Xiao Yu answered: "There is no Mother Lan next to the fourth girl. ”
That's two people. Two Blue Moms!
What Chang'er saw was Lu Mingyan's mother's generation. How did she come to this courtyard? Is it a family visit or some other purpose?
Lu Lu thought for a while, and then said to Wei's mother: "There are few people in my house, so let Chang'er come in and do some rough work." (To be continued.) )
