Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sisters
"The girl is tired, isn't she? Come, the slave will massage your shoulders. ”
As soon as she returned to her room, Chunyu came over with a flattering smile, and sat down in the chair with Gu Qiluo on her shoulders, her big eyes rolling, and she knew what she was thinking at a glance.
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Say, "What's the matter?" I don't dare let you serve without making it clear. Gu Qiluo knocked down the little hand on his shoulder, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Chunyu: "If you want to go out hunting tomorrow, I advise you to dispel this idea early." ”
"How dare a slave think of such a ridiculous thing? The wife will kill the slave and the maid. Chunyu blinked innocently, and then said with a smile: "The slave maid just thought, those fox skins must be for the girl, and the slave and maid dare not touch them, but those rabbits, if they also have peeled off their intact fur, can the girl reward the slave maid with two?" ”
"What do you want rabbit skins for? Besides, those furs belong to Xiao Fu, how can they be given to me? Are you dreaming? Gu Qiluo looked at Chunyu suspiciously, not understanding what this little girl thought.
"What, just now in the hall, Aunt Xiang said that those furs were probably sent to the girl by the second son of Xiao, the slave maid felt that this made sense, besides the girl, who else would the second son give such a thing?"
Chunyu gently knocked on Gu Qiluo's shoulder: "Girl, don't blame the slave for talking too much, although this is not in line with etiquette, but the second son is a free and easy person, and the girl is not that cowardly, so you have to fight when you should fight, otherwise people will not put you in their eyes, when you were in the courtyard before, the girl Cheng and the energetic girl of our third girl saw it clearly, right?" You said that if you backed down at this time, you might not know what the outcome of this great good thing would be. ”
"Okay, just your little bit of the city, and you're still giving me ideas." Gu Qiluo lightly poked Chunyu's fingers, thinking to herself, girl, I will retreat? Joke, Xiao Jiangbei and I secretly dated in the afternoon, will I sue you for this kind of thing?
"Girl, don't underestimate the slave and maid too much...... Chunyu thought that Gu Qiluo couldn't listen to her own opinions, and felt that everything would be fine when she decided to get married, so she couldn't help but be anxious immediately, and was about to say it, when she heard Xinghua next to her say: "Okay, how can the girl underestimate you, but it is true that you underestimate the girl, these things, she has an idea in her heart." ”
"Xinghua's words are good, what to do about this, I have a reason. But you, what do you want rabbit skins for? ”
Gu Qiluo turned the topic back, and immediately saw a touch of sadness on Chunyu's face, and it took a long time before he said softly: "Because it's a girl, the slave maid will tell the truth, otherwise no one in the house will know about it." Girl, the slave and maid also have an older brother outside the house, because my father and mother died early, our brother and sister depend on each other, and my dead ghost father owes a lot of debt when he dies. In order to raise slaves and pay off debts, my brother worked outside like a cow and a horse. There was not a day of rest in the winter, and after a long time, his hands were full of frostbite. The slave maid heard that the rabbit fur was soft, so she thought of asking for two rabbit skins and asking someone to give them to him, so that he could warm his hands in winter. ”
"How so? I thought you were sold into the house at a young age, and you must have no relatives outside. Gu Qiluo was a little surprised, Xinghua was also the first time she heard this, and she also looked at Chunyu with some surprise.
"My brother is honest and honest, and he can't read, and he doesn't have any way, so he can only work tiringly. The slave and maid really couldn't bear it, and the gambling debt was urgent, if I didn't pay it back, I would have to pay off the debt, so my brother and I had no choice, thinking that it would be better to be a girl than to be sold to those fire pits, so I found someone to sell myself. Fortunately, after getting the silver, the gambling debts will be paid off, and the slave's biggest wish now is to help his brother save a little money, so that he can start a family, and don't let the Luo family's incense be broken. ”
Chunyu has always been lively and cheerful, but there is a hint of sadness in his tone today. Gu Qiluo and Xinghua were silent for a while, and Xinghua comforted her a few words.
"Rabbit skin, huh? Okay, I'll take a chance to talk to Xiao Jiangbei. There is only one piece, this rabbit skin also has to be nitrated, and it can't be peeled off and used. Rabbit fur is indeed soft and a good material for gloves. ”
Gu Qiluo said in a deep voice, and before the words fell, he heard Xinghua say suspiciously: "Gloves? What's that? ”
Hey? Aren't there gloves in this day and age? Gu Qiluo thought about it carefully, and found that there was indeed no memory of gloves in his mind, and in some Qing court dramas he watched in his previous life, those nobles were also wearing fur sleeves, and he didn't see anyone wearing gloves, so this kind of ordinary thing probably hasn't appeared yet?
As soon as she thought of this, Gu Qiluo couldn't help but get excited, stood up and came to the table, Xinghua hurriedly stepped forward to polish the ink for her, and heard Gu Qiluo say softly: "Before entering Beijing from the countryside, I had a dream, and the people in the dream were wearing something called gloves, I felt that it was very convenient, so I thought that I would make a few pairs myself, but then I entered Beijing, and then there were many things these days, and I forgot all about it, fortunately, I just mentioned it in the spring rain, and I remembered." ”
As she spoke, she took a brush from the pen stand, first drew a cotton glove with only one thumb on the paper, and then drew a single glove with five fingers, and then straightened up and said to Xinghua: "See?" This can be made into a double layer of cotton gloves, and then the cotton is also warm by putting two layers of cloth inside. This is a five-finger distinction, and it's more convenient to wear it than to wear it, can you see it? ”
Xinghua looked at the two things on the paper that she had never seen before, and shook her head and said softly for a long time: "Girl, you can even dream of such a good thing, could it be that you are a Lubanto?" ”
Gu Qiluo glared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "You hooves, you dare to say that I was born by Lu Banto, do you dislike me for being ugly?" ”
Xinghua opened her mouth and stammered, and then Fang "fluttered" and smiled: "Ouch, even if the girl wants to take the slave maid method, don't find such a reason, you can really think that the slave and the maid are praising you for your ingenuity." Not! Also, the girl can even make such a spiritual dream, and she should be able to think about it. ”
"That's it." Gu Qiluo smiled proudly: "I have done less dreams like this since I was a child, but I have done a lot in the past two years, and I still felt very weird at first, but now I am used to it." Come, let's talk about this glove, whether this is a good thing, it's useless to look at the picture, you have to make it, and I'll leave it to you. As she spoke, she patted Xinghua on the shoulder and said in a tone of entrustment.
"Girl, what's going to do? It's something for Brother Chunyu, let her do it herself, and I'll point out on the side. Xinghua glanced at Chunyu and said with some hesitation.
"To her? How much needlework do you see she does throughout the year? If you give it to her, good things can't be made well, this is the first time we have done it, of course, you have to be a female celebrity to demonstrate, and when it is done, let Chunyu learn to do it. If you are afraid of giving and receiving privately, this is nothing, just what the three of us know, who will say it? At that time, it was to Brother Chunyu, and it was only said that her sister did it. ”
Gu Qiluo gave an indisputable order, Chunyu was also busy saying good things and pleading, and Xinghuaben was also itchy, and when she heard this, she nodded happily and said, "Okay, then the slave will try." It's a pity that there is no fabric here, otherwise I would have liked to make it right away. ”
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." After Gu Qiluo finished speaking, he lay on the bed and silently thought about whether he should also learn after Xinghua made the gloves, if it was done and sent to Xiao Jiangbei, presumably that guy would be very happy.
It's so decided, how can I say that people gave me a treasure knife as soon as they met, and then they didn't shy away from even telling her about their income, as well as the future tiger skin, the future silver and more than a dozen boxes of jewelry, compared to these things, a pair of gloves is simply more inconspicuous than dust.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the voice of a daughter-in-law outside, "Is the eldest girl here?" Our girls are all barbecued in Jinfang Pavilion, and the three girls, the four girls and the Cheng girl in the house also went, and our three girls specially called the slave maid to find the eldest girl. ”
"Okay, got it." Gu Qiluo got up and walked to the door, and saw that it was indeed a daughter-in-law of the Xiao family standing in the courtyard, so she asked, "Does my second sister know about this letter?" ”
The daughter-in-law smiled and said: "The second girl hasn't been notified yet, the slave maid was the first to come to find the eldest girl, and on the way, I happened to meet the third and fourth girls in the house to find our girl, and the slave and maid said it, and they really went." ”
"Okay, then you go back, I'll talk to her over there, second sister." After Gu Qiluo finished smiling, he turned back to Xinghua and Chunyu and said, "Let's go, let's eat barbecue, that thing is delicious." ”
Chunyu shouted and agreed, ran over and stood firmly behind the girl, posing as a follower, but Xinghua shook her head and smiled: "The slave doesn't like to eat the smoky fire, the girl likes to eat it, don't eat too much, there will be game at night, and the cook of this mountain villa is a good one." ”
"I know, I don't need you to say, eat some barbecue, and walk a few laps is almost the same." Gu Qiluo saw that Xinghua refused to go, and she didn't force it, so she pulled Chunyu to Gu Lanxuan's room, only to hear the sound of talking inside, so she shouted, "Is the second sister here?" ”
"Hey! Big sister is coming? When the voice stopped, Gu Lanxuan personally greeted her and said with a smile: "Come in and sit, it's cold outside." ”
"Don't go in, my aunt is inside, right? I don't look for my aunt, I look for my sister to eat barbecue. Because of the words, sure enough, Gu Lanxuan's eyes lit up, and she turned back to the room and said, "Auntie, I'll go with my eldest sister to have a good time, and I'll come back later." ”
Aunt Zhuang's promise came from the house, so the two sisters went to Jinfang Pavilion with joy. Here, Aunt Zhuang opened a small crack in the window, and watched them walk out of the yard talking and laughing, and couldn't help but show a smile on their faces.
