Chapter 006: Undercurrent

The four of them followed Li's mother to the back garden. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this is a place for people to eat and stay, it is still well organized, and a few little girls who are sweeping the floor in the courtyard see Li's mother and others coming in, and they all come over to greet them.

Mother Li's gaze swept over everyone, and she said to a girl who was sitting under the curtain and was making a female celebrity: "Ruyi." ”

Ruyi responded, got up and stepped forward and said, "Mother, you're back." ”

It is said that the girl named Ruyi in front of her is none other than Li's mother's daughter. Mother Li was originally a palace maid brought out of the palace by Princess An Ning, and she was considered a confidant. Later, Princess An Ning was in charge and married her to Du Dehai, the chief housekeeper of the General's Mansion, but not long after the two gave birth to Ruyi, Du Dehai suddenly fell ill and died.

Mother Li smiled and said: "These four girls are the official maids sent by Master Chen, I just want to accompany the princess on a trip, you take them down to change the clothes in the house, and then teach them the rules here, and when I come back, I can send them to the main garden." ”

Ruyi responded happily, brought the four of them into the warm pavilion together, took out a few sets of long dresses of the same material and color from the cabinet and handed them to everyone to change, and taught them how to comb the hair bun of the maid in the house.

Liushang combed the hair of the three officials and maids in front of him in one go, and asked Wanluo to sit down in front of the dressing table.

"What's your name?" Ruyi's onion-like fingers danced between the curling hair, and he asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It's good for my sister to call me Wanluo", Jiang Wanluo said politely.

"What a good name." Ruyi's gaze and Wanluo met in the mirror for a moment, and then hurriedly dodged away, and asked the three officials and maids behind him, "How many of you are?" ”

"Ruoyan, Qingxue, Birong", the three of them replied in turn.

Ruyi nodded, and then said: "Our general is an important minister in the court, and there are naturally more rules in the house. There are two young masters in the family who have not yet married a wife, and the fourth lady has not yet left the cabinet, let's be slaves, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be done and what should not be done, and there should be some sense of proportion in our hearts, so as not to hurt the system. If you are going to serve in the main garden, I will say these words first, so that nothing will happen in the future and your faces will be ugly. ”

"Where is my sister on an errand now?" The girl named Qingxue asked with a smile between her eyebrows

"I was serving in the old lady's room, and two years ago, the old lady died, and the princess asked me to follow my mother to do some things in the house." Ruyi said, looked out the window at the sun, and said, "I'll go to the East Kitchen to see if lunch is ready, you can wait here for the time being." With that, he lifted the curtain and went out.

Seeing Ruyi go out, the four girls also greeted each other and reported their home and age. Although everyone has now become a servant, Jiang Wanluo can still hear some of the arrogance of the young lady from the words of several people.

"Did you just hear me? This Ruyi girl is the daughter of Li's mother, and she doesn't need to serve in the house for life. Qingxue said as she curled a lock of hair on her chest with her eating hand, "But I see, she's over twenty years old, why is she still staying in the house?" ”

"That's still a question." Bi Rong smiled, and then she said: "Didn't you listen to her, the two young masters in the family are not married yet, and they specially told us to act in a measured manner." The sisters are all from big families, and they still don't understand the meaning of her words?"

"You mean she wants to fight for a roommate?" Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'm not convinced!" Although I am only a phoenix who has fallen behind, I can only learn in terms of appearance, which point is not a hundred times stronger than her, and it should be my turn to have such a good thing. ”

"Look at what my sister said." Bi Rong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "A few of us entered the mansion together today, and everyone should share it if there is a good one." If you want me to say that sisters have a chance, although it is a little wronged to be small, but it is better than being a slave for a lifetime. ”

"Then let's go our own way." Qingxue said with a displeased face

Jiang Wanluo listened silently to her silent tearing on the side, and she really felt like she was splashed with blood, and ten big characters silently floated in her heart - the ancient routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.

"Two sisters, listen to me." Ruoyan, who had also been silent for a long time, smiled faintly and said slowly: "There are many people in the General's Mansion, everyone is new to the house, it is better to be careful when speaking." Our fathers are all guilty of sin, and if we have any trouble in the General's Mansion for no reason, not only will we not be able to share our father's worries, but I am afraid that they will be severely punished. ”

Qingxue and Bi Rong heard that she was reasonable, and they also stopped talking for the time being.

At this time, I suddenly saw a little girl in red lift the curtain of the door and said inside: "Sister Ruyi asked me to come over and call someone to help bring the food to the yard, and everyone will eat together." ”

"Aren't we here to serve our master? Why do you still have to serve people's food? Qingxue asked.

The little girl glanced at her coldly, smiled slightly, and said, "Yo, the girl hasn't entered the main garden yet, and the shelf is so big?" I don't dare to work with you, I just ask who is willing to go? ”

"I'll go!" Jiang Wanluo immediately volunteered, thinking that she could take this opportunity to familiarize herself with the terrain of the General's Mansion, not to mention that she was really afraid of the two beautiful but brainless women in the house, and she couldn't wait to flash people quickly.

asked the little girl about the location of the kitchen, and Jiang Wanluo went alone. Through several corridors, I saw two maidservants sitting under a large willow tree in the courtyard that had just spit green, peeling beans from the dustpan while muttering something about something, and they could only hear it clearly when they got closer.

"I heard that the third young master is still angry with the old man about Sister Ruyi's affairs, saying that the date is set, and he will pass the door on the eighth day of the next month."

"With the temper of the third young master, even if he reluctantly marries into the room, it is just cold, what does everyone mean."

"But isn't it, I heard Cui'er say that Aunt Lin hid in the room and cried all night yesterday, and she was really miserable."

"The third young master is also the son of the master after all, although he was born by his aunt, the golden branches and jade leaves can't climb high, but no matter how bad it is, he should marry a young lady from a big family, so let him marry a girl to be the main house, it is too wronged."

"After all, it's Madame's meaning, and I don't think the master may be willing."

When I used to read novels and TV series, Jiang Wanluo often lamented that there were many rights and wrongs in the courtyard of the deep house, but I didn't expect this to be the case. That wishful girl is actually preparing to marry the third young master to be the main room, it seems that it is already a sure thing, if Qingxue and Bi Rong know, I am afraid that I will be so angry that my nose is crooked, and I think it is funny to think about it.

The two maidservants were halfway through speaking, as if they noticed someone behind them, and when they turned around and saw Wanluo standing under the shade of the tree, they were both startled, "Who are you, what are you doing there sneaky?" ”
