The maidservant entered the house, wrapped her cloak tightly and walked against the wind.

When I met a servant girl along the way, I politely gave way.

"Lady Banqin." There are also people laughing and talking.

Facing a girl from the side, Ben was walking with her head down, and suddenly heard this sentence, subconsciously looked up, and saw a handsome maid walking slowly over, and was stunned.

"Miss Banqin is out of the house?" A servant woman continued to talk.

The maidservant answered, smiling.

"Yes." She replied, and looked at the servant woman again, "It's so cold, and my mother is busy?" ”

"Not busy, not busy." The servant woman smiled, reacted and nodded busily, "Busy, busy, it's going to be the New Year." ”

"Mom worked hard." The handmaid laughed.

The servant woman smiled and watched as the maid turned and walked away.

"Oh, this girl is really kind and festive." She sighed to the people on the side, "Where is the bad temper they say?" ”

"yes." The other girl also said, looking at the figure of the servant girl who had gone away, "I heard that she even dared to contradict Madame and the Seventh Lady, so it seems that she is not so strange and rude." ”

The handmaid stopped and looked back sharply.

On the road, there are three and twos, and the maids and servants walk around.

It's just that the maidservant's eyes turned and looked at a girl not far away who walked with her head down and holding her hands.

The girl seemed to be very cold, and her body shrank and shivered.

"This sister—" The maid looked at her and smiled slightly.

Before she could finish speaking, the girl quickened her pace and passed her.

The maid shook her head and smiled. Wrapped his cloak tightly and ignored it. Enter the courtyard gate.

Banqin walked for a while before turning back cautiously. The front of the door was empty.

In the past, I occasionally saw a figure in the night, and it turned out that this was the lady's new half-celery.

It's so good-looking, and it can talk......

Banqin looked at it in a daze for a moment, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, lowered her head and hugged her shoulders and slowly walked away.

There were a few girls standing under the porch in the courtyard, and they all saluted when they saw the maidservants.

This is a new girl sent by Mrs. Zhou, given by the elders. can't refuse, Cheng Jianniang left them all, but whether she used it or not, it was another matter.

The maidservant greeted them with a smile, and the two girls hurriedly opened the door.

When the maidservant went in, needless to say, someone else closed the door again.

In front of the screen, Cheng Jianniang leaned on a few books to read.

"Lady, it's all done." The maidservant said, "The doctor has seen it. There was no fear for his life, and he gave some money. The doctor said that he had a heart disease, and Han Langjun also said a few words of relief, and the man was a little better at that time. ”

Cheng Jianniang nodded and put down the book.

"Did they take note of you?" She asked.

The handmaid nodded.

"I spoke many things to the woman, and she must have written me down." She said, "Follow Han Langjun, she doesn't doubt it, she believes me very much." ”

"That's enough." Cheng Jianniang nodded and said.

"So, what is the lady going to do next?" The maidservant asked curiously.

Cheng Jianniang glanced at her.

"Don't do anything." She said, "No, it's all done?" ”

The maidservant was surprised and immediately burst into laughter.

"Lady, that's all?" She asked.

"That's all." Cheng Jianniang said, nodding, "Otherwise?" ”

The maid was speechless to answer, yes, otherwise, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"I want to listen to books." Cheng Jianniang said.

The handmaid answered, and took the scroll.

"Last time I read it," she said to herself, flipping it over.

"Before and after the cold food, the lake is full of painted boats." Cheng Jianniang said.

The handmaiden nodded.

"The lady remembers it so well." She smiled, turned to the page, and read aloud, "...... The head and tail are connected, like a pontoon bridge. The first ship, the second ship, the third ship, the fourth ship, the fifth ship..."

On the 30th day, every household has entered the most important moment to welcome the festival.

The male hosts told them to check the equipment for worshipping their ancestors, and the hostesses checked the children's clothes and wrote down the list of banquets for several days.

The young children and girls are both leisurely and excited waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

Cheng Jianniang, who was only leisurely and not excited, and the maidservant girl had already walked outside the door.

"Why do you have to go out at this time?" Mrs. Zhou, who heard the news, hurriedly said, her expression was no longer as kind and soft as a few days ago, and she couldn't hide her impatience, "Today is thirty, Jiaojiao'er, how can you go out again?" ”

Cheng Jianniang turned to look at her and didn't speak.

"Madam, it's just that today is thirty, and our lady is going out." The maid said, with a little surprise, "Madame, has you forgotten that my lady's surname is not Zhou, and on the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve, how can she spend it at my grandfather's house?" ”

There is such a rule that a married daughter can't spend thirty in her mother's house, but can't a granddaughter do it?

Mrs. Zhou was stunned.

"Although I am away from home, in such a New Year's Festival, my lady still has to worship her ancestors." The maidservant said, "We also have a house in the capital, so we have to go there, lest the ancestors of the two families mess with the incense together." ”

"But what's going on?" Mrs. Zhou said, a little undecided.

Saturday Lang had already heard the news and strode over, and without saying a word, he took the whip from the little servant's hand.

"Mother, go and get busy, I'll send her." He said.

If you like to go, you can go, anyway, there is no benefit at home except to add to the chaos, Mrs. Zhou waved her hand angrily.

"Then, be careful outside, and say what you lack." She said.

The noisy street market has become a rarity, and occasionally there are hurried pedestrians passing by with New Year's goods on their shoulders.

Saturday Lang reined in his horse and looked at the little guy who opened the door and ran out.

"The lady is back." He shouted.

The door opened, and the chatter poured out from within.

"My sister is back." Two other men followed, rubbing their hands and laughing, "We're stewing pig's head." ”

"Shiro-kun, Goro-kun, you even stew pig's head?" The maid said, very surprised, while helping Cheng Jianniang to get out of the car.

"Yes, yes, yes." The two men smiled and nodded, "Sister, go in, it's cold outside." ”

Liuliulang stood aside, and everyone didn't seem to see him, he was really a coachman.

When the people inside heard the news, a few more ran out, and the sound of my sister continued.

Sister, brother, shouting is affectionate

Liuliulang looked at the man and woman laughing in front of him, sneered, and threw the horsewhip in his hand.

A man has a quick eye and a quick hand, and reaches out to catch it.

After a pause, everyone looked over, and the boy had turned around and strode along the way he came.

Cheng Jianniang didn't seem to see it, and went into the door with the maidservant.

The men also came back to their senses.

"I don't know what kind of family my sister's family is, a coachman is also so handsome...."

"Yes, he is young, his arm strength is not small, just this throw, if it is a spear, it can poke people into a hole."

While whispering, he drove the carriage into the door, and a firecracker exploded inside the door.

"Brother Jin! Don't be naughty! ”

The woman's scream rang out, adding a bit of vitality to the noisy courtyard.

The men looked at each other, smiled, and closed the door.

The door has been hung with the peach charm engraved with the gods and the two gods of Yu Lei, and the new red lanterns under the gate are swaying in the wind, all of which are festive. (To be continued......)
