Chapter 5 The Big House and the Twin Sisters
Qiqiao and Jiuhui have been coming to Mozhuyuan for some days, and they don't think there's anything bad, but it's too good.
Just knew that they were going to be assigned to Mozhu Courtyard, and the two of them were uneasy in their hearts. Everyone knows that the second master in the house is all infatuated with Aunt Xia, although the second wife didn't make a big move, everyone can guess that the second wife doesn't like Aunt Xia, the fifth lady and the third young master.
It's good that the third young master is a master, but the fifth miss is going out, and she is still a young lady who is not liked by the old lady.
In the old lady's yard, although she is only a third-class girl, no one who comes and goes does not take a look. This came to Mozhu Courtyard, under the control of the second wife, I don't know if it will become cannon fodder.
The ladies will not have anything to do, and they are the ones who have something to do. And Miss Fifth is notoriously honest.
It's just that when the two met Ke Xiyuan for the first time after Ke Xiyuan fell into the water, their views completely changed.
By the old lady's side, she treats people more and does things better, and she doesn't look at people so superficially. I only feel that Miss Fifth seems to be completely different from before, and she has the momentum of a superior.
As soon as he entered the Mozhu Courtyard, Ke Xiyuan officially introduced the two of them in front of the whole courtyard, and mentioned the first-class girl of the drunken branch and the second-class girl of the two. The people below should not be said to be unimpressed. Originally, there was a drunken branch in the yard, and a second-class girl was alone. Now that the drunken branch has risen, and the two of them have joined, it is obviously to fill the vacancy of the girl.
It's just that I haven't mentioned it again these days, and this group of girls has slowly faded away. It's just that early this morning, Luo's mother let out the wind and wanted to choose two more girls to make up for the four second-class girls. That heartbeat was instigated to the fullest.
In this case, a good girl can be chosen.
Qiqiao and Jiuhui both understood this truth, and they also observed it coldly.
"Jiuhui, Miss hasn't assigned us a job now, our status here is a little ......"
"Don't think too much, just do your part, Mother Luo will arrange for us to do things soon."
Seeing Jiuhui so determined, Qiqiao felt a little at ease. Qiqiao knows very well that he has a good hand and a sweet mouth to be favored. Jiuhui, on the other hand, is notoriously smart in the old lady's room.
That day, Ba Ge told them that they were going to pick four people to go to Miss Four and Miss Five, she thought that Jiuhui must be the fourth Miss who was favored by the old lady, but she didn't expect Jiuhui to follow Miss Five with her.
I have been with the old lady for so long, but I can't understand why the old lady arranged it like this.
"I thought you'd be with Miss Four! I didn't expect you to be here too. And he thought to himself, and he said it.
Jiuhui glanced around lightly, "You, trouble comes from your mouth, don't talk nonsense." Follow Miss Five, we are Miss Five's people, and besides, Miss Five is very good. ”
Jiuhui is smart, and he sees people more thoroughly than Qiqiao. She clearly sees the difference between Miss Five, and with Miss Five, maybe her life will be different.
"Jiuhui, Miss calls you; Qiqiao, Luo's mother wants you to go over and help. ”
Qiqiao and Jiuhui quickly exchanged a look. Temptations, trials, came, and they were still so fast.
Ke Xiyuan looked at Jiuhui who was standing there with her head down, and only felt that this girl was an extremely smart person. Aside from the Tangram to summon her alone, there was no discoloration on her face. The table xiàn has to be deferential and well-behaved.
Such a girl must be used for herself.
"Would it be okay to come with me to visit the second and third sisters at the eldest aunt's?"
Jiuhui bent her knees and behaved: "The slave is willing to listen to the young lady's dispatch!" ”
"That's great, you're here to serve today! It's inconvenient for the drunken branch to go over today! ”
In this sentence, Ke Xiyuan revealed a few pieces of information to Jiuhui. This is a temptation and a test. Test whether this girl has the same heart as herself, and test whether this girl is really smart enough.
Jiuhui pursed her lips, "Although the slave is not as smart as Sister Zuizhi, she must serve the young lady well." ”
It's a good statement, and next, Ke Xiyuan is looking forward to her appearance.
When he came to the East Garden of the big house, he sighed that Taizu doted on the fourth son of the emperor back then. The East Garden is divided into four major blocks, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The Spring Garden is the study of the eldest uncle Ke Zhengnan, the Summer Garden lives in the Lu family, the three young ladies in the big house all live in the Autumn Garden, and the Winter Garden lives in Ke Zhengnan's aunt and Tongfang.
The largest courtyard in Qiuyuan, Ziwei Courtyard, has been empty since the eldest lady of the Ke family got married, but you can still see the girls and mothers-in-law cleaning diligently. has a mother in charge, and life is not uncomfortable.
The Begonia Courtyard and the Lotus Courtyard next to each other are the courtyards of the second lady Ke Ximei and the third lady Ke Xihao.
"Second sister, I came uninvited, can my sister blame me?"
Ke Xiyuan gave a gift, her face was full of a sweet smile, and her facial features were bright.
Because Ke Ximei is a concubine, she grew up with her in front of the Lu family on weekdays, so she is introverted and speaks and acts very safely. For the second cousin who is also a concubine, there is a natural sense of intimacy.
"I only think that my fifth sister doesn't like to hang out, I didn't expect my sister to come to see me, come in. Your third sister will also come over in a while, and the three of us can eat the plum blossom tea stored in the winter together, and then take a bite of crisp, what do you think? ”
It's quite like a sister, compared to her own sister, this cousin is obviously much more qualified.
"My sister is disrespectful, so I will bother my sister!"
Ke Ximei only felt that this fifth sister seemed to have become more likable than before since she recovered from her illness, and she had a little more affection for Ke Xiyuan in her heart.
Not long after the two sat down, Ke Ximei's sister Ke Xihao came.
The two sisters are exactly their names, one beautiful, the other wonderful.
Ke Ximei is currently the most outstanding among the daughters of Kefu, and has completely inherited the appearance of her biological mother, Aunt Hao; And although Ke Xihao is not as beautiful as Ke Ximei, he is a notoriously good person. When Ke Xiyuan was sick, it was this cousin who often visited and brought many small gifts for Ke Xiyuan to play with.
Ke Xiyuan and Ke Xihao greeted each other and sat down together again.
"Fifth sister, you don't have to send someone to tell me when you come over, I'll prepare something delicious for you."
Ke Xiyuan squinted her eyes and smiled very sweetly, "I like to come quietly like this to see if my sisters are hiding anything delicious behind my back!" ”
In a word, Ke Ximei laughed and scratched Ke Xiyuan, and her mouth didn't stop, "Okay, you little girl, but your second sister and I moved most of the things in Qiuyuan to you when you were sick, and you spit it all out for me!" ”
Ke Xiyuan felt that she was a little into the play. In my previous life, I was used to dealing with all kinds of people, and this kind of meeting was just a small fight for me, and I could come at it casually, and it was not enough to worry about.
It's just that I really had a little girl's excitement in my heart just now.
A bit of an assimilation, right? This is a bad sign!
sat upright, grabbed Ke Ximei's hand, and said with a smile: "Good sister, spare me!" I'm here today to help my second sister. ”
Ke Xihao saw that Ke Xiyuan's cheeks were flushed, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to make any more trouble, but he was afraid that the sister in front of him had not recovered yet, "Tell me, what can you help the second sister?" ”
"I, although I don't have any other skills, I can still embroider with one hand, I want to come over and help the second sister embroider some purse handkerchiefs. Luo's mother can say that my sister is going out, so she has to use a lot! ”
Speaking of dowry, Ke Ximei and Ke Xihao both blushed. Ke Ximei is about to get married, and Ke Xihao has already agreed to kiss.
Ke Ximei simply took a basket and handed it over, "Well, sister, I'll be cheeky and beg my sister to make a few things!" My sister's craftsmanship is notoriously good among our sisters! ”
Ke Xiyuan took it naturally, put on the thread and began to work. For a while, the three sisters began to bury themselves in embroidery, occasionally saying a word or two to make fun of them.
"Alas!"
Ke Xihao raised his head and nodded Ke Xiyuan's forehead with his hand, "Young age, what are you doing with a sigh?" ”
"I thought that my sisters would get married in the future, and I would be lonely!"
Ke Ximei also stopped and touched Ke Xiyuan's head, "Silly sister, my sisters are not far from married, and they can always come back to see you." After a pause, he was also a little sad, and his voice was lowered, "Women, they always have to leave home to get married!" ”
"Yes! All women are going to get married, and my drunken branches are going to be married. After speaking, he lowered his head and stopped the work in his hand.
Ke Ximei and Ke Xi glanced at each other, and then noticed that it was Jiuhui who came with her today, the girl next to her grandmother. Looking at Ke Xiyuan, who was drooping his head, both of them felt soft in their hearts.
"Fifth sister, Drunken Zhi is old, and she wants to be matched. The two girls who used to serve me are now also matched, and I can't bear it. But that's the rule, you should take a good look at the fate between you during this time! ”
Ke Ximei is telling the truth, Ke Xiyuan knows, but this is not her purpose.
"My sister knows this, but I still want to follow me after I get married."
Ke Xi laughed, "I can't see that you are a long-term lover!" It's not that difficult, as long as the mother matches her with a boy, and gives a grace in the future, so that the family can follow you out! ”
That's what I'm waiting for. Ke Xiyuan's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed, "Third sister, is it really possible?" ”
Before Ke Xihao could answer, Ke Ximei had already picked it up, "Okay, you're messing around too!" The affairs of the fifth sister's room, where can the mother interfere! This is the second aunt's business! ”
Ke Xiyuan and Ke Xihao lowered their heads at the same time, and then heard Ke Ximei say again, "It's not all impossible, this matter, I went to my grandmother's place, and my mother said a few words by the side, I don't think it's a problem." ”
"Second sister, is this really okay?"
Ke Ximei nodded, thought about it, and replied affirmatively: "It should be no problem, my mother is just dealing with the marriage matches of the subordinates in the mansion these days, some are matched, and some are going to be released out of the house." If you speak up, Mother will fulfill you! ”
In other words, you still have to pass the Lu clan first.
Thinking of the Lu family, Ke Xiyuan felt all kinds of uncertainties in her heart. Just looking at the incident of dealing with herself falling into the water last time, it is not difficult to see that this is a woman who takes the overall situation into account. It's nothing to help her own girl get married, but if she offends her sister-in-law, she probably won't do it.
Seeing the look in Jiuhui's hand, Ke Xiyuan knew that the time had come.
"Second sister, third sister, I know that the eldest aunt is the best. But I don't have the courage to ask my aunt to do me a favor! ”
As soon as the words landed, I heard Lu's voice sound, "What are the five girls embarrassed to say?" Say it, if your aunt can help you, she will definitely help you. ”
