Chapter Seventy-Nine: Different
The maidservant sat down on her knees and kowtowed to the old man sitting in the hall.
"Alright, alright." Old lady Zhang smiled and raised her hand, "Get up and talk quickly." ”
The girl next to her has red circles under her eyes.
"When did the lady come to the capital?" She hurriedly asked, "Why did you come to the capital?" Did they drive her away, sir? ”
As he spoke, tears welled up.
The maidservant and Mrs. Zhang both laughed.
"Banqin, you really underestimate your lady." Old lady Zhang smiled, "Who can drive her away?" ”
"No, no, no." The maid also smiled, looking at the girl who couldn't stop crying, "We have been here a long time ago." ”
"Why don't you look for me when you come?" The girl cried.
"Isn't this coming?" The maid smiled, holding the girl's arm, "Banqin, don't cry, I know that you miss the old man, I don't know how the master bullied you." ”
Old lady Zhang smiled and shook her head at Su Xin.
"You girl, you don't have to praise me for her." He said.
The girl here also came back to her senses and hurriedly wiped her tears.
"Master, Banqin is out of shape." She choked up and said to the old lady, and thanked the maidservant, "It's still my sister Linghui and can speak, I'm stupid." ”
The handmaid grinned.
"Don't be afraid, not afraid." She smiled, "The master is too smart, in front of him, we are all the same." ”
Old lady Zhang laughed.
"You girl, in front of your lady, are you also so flamboyant?" He said.
"My lady is also a smart one, and I have become a gourd with a sawed mouth in front of her." The maidservant pretended to sigh and said.
This time, the girl laughed too.
"Okay, don't tout the old man with the new master." Old lady Zhang said with a smile. While looking at the handmaid. "Why are you here? When did it come? ”
"We came a year ago. Now she lives at her grandmother's house. The handmaid laughed.
Old lady Zhang nodded.
"Is the lady okay?" The girl asked hurriedly.
"It's very good." The handmaid laughed.
"Did a foreign family pick up the lady?" The girl asked, "Are they good to the lady?" ”
The handmaid smiled.
"Whether others are good or not, ladies can live well." She laughed.
That's not good......
If it's good, how can it be that when you're at home, you're only fighting for a dowry and not caring about people.
Although people are brought in, they are not hungry or cold, and cats and dogs can also be raised, but people are not cats and dogs.
The girl looked depressed.
But what's the solution?
A fool was born in the family. It is a shameful thing for the whole family, nine out of ten will choose to drown the baby, and if he does not drown, the baby is like a stain, sticking to the bright robes of the two families, and can be pointed at at all times.
This disgust has been deeply rooted in the blood and bones of the two families, so much so that they don't want to bother with this daughter a little more.
"If you don't want it, you will be strong, and if you don't want it, you will solve it." Old lady Zhang said, looking at the girl, "Your lady has nothing to do." You don't bother yourself. ”
The girl hurriedly bowed her head and answered.
"Alright, it's time for me to go." The maidservant sat up straight and said. "The lady asked me to see if the master has come back, I have already exceeded the rules and stayed longer."
The girl couldn't help but be a little reluctant to open her mouth to ask something, but she didn't dare to ask.
Old lady Zhang nodded and smiled, but did not hold back or ask.
"Okay, there you go." He just said.
The servant girl got up, smiled at the girl again, and retreated.
The girl reluctantly watched the figure of the maid disappear in the courtyard.
"Don't look at it, we'll see you soon." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "It's just these two days, go and think about what to cook for your lady, so that she can take a look, without her, your craftsmanship will improve, and see if she regrets it." ”
The girl suddenly rejoiced and laughed again.
"Master, no matter how refined my craft is, it is also taught by my mother, and in front of her, it is nothing." She said.
"Okay, okay, I know the way, I know the way, your lady is the best, unparalleled in the world, no one can compare." Old lady Zhang smiled and waved his hand.
The girl also smiled, and Shi Lizhu quit.
In the Zhou family, two rough girls carried two buckets of washed cloth and walked around with difficulty.
"Sister is tired, let's take a break." Banqin turned around and said.
The two barrels on the sticks were clearly close to her side.
The girl behind her was angry and short, and the barrel was placed on the ground.
"What are you doing here? The long way around is exhausting. She said.
Banqin laughed and said that it was hard, while casually looking at the house on the side of the road.
The door of the house was open, and several girls in the yard could be seen laughing together.
Except when it is necessary to go out, the woman only sits quietly in the house, and all these habits have not changed her, but the people around her have changed.
"Sister Banqin."
There was a voice in the distance, Banqin looked over in surprise, and saw a pretty maid on the road coming slowly, and the maids and servants who passed by her greeted her with a smile.
She hurriedly lowered her head and lifted the stick.
"Let's go, let's go." She said, "It's too late, Mother Yang should scold again." ”
The girl lifted up angrily, and the half-celery in front of her walked quickly, making her stumble a little.
"Hey, slow down, since you're in a hurry, you're still going to take a detour." She said, muttering along.
In the pulp washing courtyard, their arrival startled several servant women who were gathering to talk, and subconsciously blocked the wooden basin in front of them, and when they saw that it was them, they pulled down their faces again.
"Where to be lazy? Went for so long. A woman exclaimed, with a heavy face.
Without waiting for Banqin to speak, the girl rubbed her shoulders and complained.
"It's all her, long-winded and lazy, it's only been so long." She said.
Banqin lowered her head and brought the barrel to the pulp washing pool.
"Alright, you go down and rest." The woman glared at the girl.
The girl smiled and said thank you, and her mother turned around and ran.
The woman turned her head to look at the parsley that had poured her clothes into the pool.
"You, go and put away the clothes in the house." The woman said.
Banqin replied, wiping her wet hands on her body and walking into the room.
The woman turned and walked over to the women, her face grim and embarrassed.
"You say, 'What should you do?' She said, looking down at the tub in front of her.
In the wooden basin were two dresses, which were dyed in a flowery green color.
"These are Madame's two favorite dresses." Another woman said, "Someone must be at fault this time." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little evasive.
"Bao Yatou went to Mrs. easily, her mother got a new job on the stove, and the sister-in-law got close to Cao's daughter-in-law, if she didn't round her this time, it would be easy to punish Bao Yatou, and she would not be remembered by this family in the future." A woman said.
"How's that? We can't bear it, can we? The other said, "Even if you are looking for someone else, it is not easy to find, in our pulp washing courtyard, these dozen or so people horizontally and vertically, which one is not a twisted relationship, if you are afraid of offending this, you are not afraid of offending that?" ”
The women were silent for a moment, then suddenly they turned their heads to look at the room.
"If you want to say the right person, there really is one." She said.
Everyone was stunned and followed her gaze.
The door of the house was open, and a thin figure could be seen walking around, carrying and sorting out the baggage one by one. (To be continued......)
