Section 2 Joyful Colors
Little She'er and Lilac skirted the garden, through the cloister, and to the main hall.
There is a plaque hanging on the door of the main hall - benevolence and prudence. The lower left boy of the plaque is inscribed with the Chunhua imperial pen.
Chunhua is the name of the first emperor Taizong, and this plaque is the imperial pen of Taizong. Xiao She'er knew that this was inscribed by Emperor Taizong to Guohua Gong, the ancestor of the Cao family. After the death of Guohua Gong, Emperor Zhenzong came to mourn and mourn in person, gave Guohua Gongzhong Shuling, Jiyang Jun, named Wuhui, with Taizu Temple, and later posthumously named the King of Han, and his wife Gao, that is, Mrs. Tai, was named Mrs. Han.
This mansion was built on the foundation of the old house of the Cao family in Tokyo City after the death of the old man. Although it was said that it was to build the Han Palace, it did not dare to really build it according to the regulations of the palace. After it was built, Cao Fu moved from Zhending, Hebei Province and lived in Beijing.
Lilac didn't enter the main hall, but just took Xiao She'er through the side door of the main hall, and came to a courtyard behind the main hall, called "Muyuan Hall", and walked in. This is where the old lady lives. There are three houses on the side, and one in the middle is the house of the councilor on weekdays.
At that time, there were already many people standing in the house, Xiao She'er quickly touched her face, and Lilac pulled Yue Zhong forward.
In the middle of the hall, there is a pair of Datang pear wood chairs, all of which are set on the chairs with the pattern of the word Baifu embroidered with red brocade gold thread, and there are cushions embroidered with goose yellow soft satin and gold thread. On the left and right sides are a row of smaller circle chairs, also with red satin chairs.
Mrs. sat upright on the chair on the right-hand side of the front. Lilac stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Madam, Xiao She'er has already brought it." ”
"Well, it's been so long for you to pass on the word." Mrs. said with a smile.
Lilac pulled the little house, and walked behind his wife to stand. Xiao She'er walked up to his wife, his two forearms were flat, his right hand was clasped and his left hand was placed on his chest, his legs were half bent, and he called "Mrs. Wanfu".
"Come, come and let me see you." Mrs. has a gentle voice and thinks that she is in a good mood.
Xiao She'er was a little scared, she remembered that when she was seven years old when she first entered the house as a maid, her wife also said this. But because of this sentence, he was assigned to Yangxin Garden, the most remote place in Han Wangfu, as a maid.
Xiao She'er raised her head slowly, but her eyes didn't dare to look at her wife.
"Isn't this scar on your face healing? The color is a little lighter, and every time you come to say goodbye, I can't take a closer look at you. The lady's tone was not unusual.
Xiao She'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and reached out to touch the scar on her face, "I'm afraid it's not going to get better." ”
"Hmm," ...... the lady nodded, her voice sounding very satisfied. You are serving in the third young master's room, although you are young, you have been in the house for all these years, and you want to be able to serve well", Mrs. turned her face sideways to the eldest young grandmother who was sitting on the circle chair below and said: "Lilac This girl is quite careful, and she knows all the big and small things in the house very clearly. ”
The eldest young grandmother smiled: "That's the wife's training." Lilac is not only careful, but also very loyal. This time, I heard that I was going to pick someone to send to those two mansions, and I knelt in front of my wife and cried and said those words, and I must follow my wife, which is really moving. ”
Mrs. smiled and said, "Lilac, this child, I was reluctant to give it away." She didn't want to go, so much the better. ”
When the second aunt saw that her wife was happy, she also smiled and said to everyone: "Mrs. is kind and virtuous, and she has influenced the whole family, and everyone is like this." These maids are sent to those two families, and they will definitely fight for Caofu. ”
Mrs. smiled even more happily, "Erniang has always been able to speak. ”
The fourth aunt's wife next to her, who doesn't invite his wife to see on weekdays, saw that his wife was happy, and she also smiled all over her face: "It's not that the second sister can speak, it's really like this......" Ding Xiang pursed her lips slightly, thinking that the fourth aunt couldn't speak. Seeing that the housekeeper's lady had already entered the door and stood there with her hands down, the fourth aunt's wife was still chattering: "The history of our family's maids, after the wife's conditioning, when they arrive at someone else's house, even the girls of the family will not lose......"
Ding Xiang Zhilu said that the selection of the maid this time was to give it to the aunt's family and the uncle's wife's family, and the fourth aunt's words said that the niece and niece of the wife were not as good as the maid.
Sure enough, the wife frowned slightly, didn't answer, and said to the housekeeper's lady, "Are all the people here?" ”
The housekeeper said: "Back to Mrs., it's all together, just wait for Mrs. to show me." ”
On the other hand, Mrs. Fourth Auntie closed her mouth, and no one paid attention to the embarrassed look on her face. Xiao She'er sighed secretly, this is the concubine. The eldest girl Yan Niang should be edicted to enter the palace, and everyone thinks that it is extremely noble, and I am afraid that it will also look at people's eyes and look up to people's nose.
