Chapter 13: Odd

"Miss, is it up?" Apricot came in with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qingzhi pretended to be confused and got up from the bed, and watched Xing'er walk to the basin, half of the muddy water in the basin made her fingers pause, and she took out the water with a calm face.

She thought about it yesterday, she will have to practice every night in the future, and it is impossible for the maids around her to be abnormal, so it is better to subdue Xing'er than to cover her ears and steal the bell. Xing'er is her personal maid, as long as she is still in Chen's Mansion for a day, the two can be said to be grasshoppers on the same boat.

The water soon came back, and Xing'er's face was not abnormal at all, and she didn't ask. After Qingzhi finished washing her face, she was a little surprised and said, "Miss is really improving today." ”

"Yes." Qing Zhi carefully observed herself in the mirror, her cheeks were plump, her skin was fair and delicate, revealing a healthy pink color, her eyes were crooked and she smiled before saying a word, and she had a feeling of closeness when she looked at it. She was also stunned, how could she be a little like Guanyin sitting down as a virgin?

It should be a matter of Buddhist cultivation, but there is not much change on the surface, mainly because of the cordiality in temperament.

Qing Zhi smiled brightly and said, "Grandma must be happy to see it." ”

Xing'er, who was dazzled by this smile, also laughed, "Miss makes people close when she looks at it." ”

"Come with me to see Chenxuan later." I didn't need Chenxuan's help yesterday, and I was almost thirty people in my previous life and now, of course I wouldn't be more serious with a little kid, but I still have to appreciate my kindness.

Apricot Mali helped the young lady tie the ribbon on her head, she saw yesterday's events clearly, and immediately realized the young lady's intentions, and said, "Miss want to prepare something to bring over?" ”

was stopped by this sentence, do you still have to bring something over for such a thing? He looked at her with some doubts.

"Isn't Miss trying to show overture?"

Qingzhi understands that although the two are separated by generations, they are in a similar situation, and now they are begging for a living under their grandmother, and they will live under their aunt in the future, so it is reasonable that both of them should get along better.

"Then look at what I'll bring with you." Chen's house is a merchant and there is no shortage of money, this time my grandmother rewarded her with the meeting gifts given by each room, she made a little rich, there are a lot of things, but unfortunately I don't understand, I still want Xing'er to come up with an idea.

Xing'er took out the key and rummaged through it, and took out a pair of solid bracelets, which were average in style but better than in weight.

"This?" I wonder if Apricot has a good eye, is it too cheesy?

Xing'er weighed it in her hand, put it in the box, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, this is just right, there is a shortage of money over there." ”

Short on money? The old people like to care for those children who are not doing well, and these days Chenxuan has gotten no less things than her, and besides, there is food and drink in this house, why is there a lack of money? Puzzled, he asked, "Why?" ”

Xing'er looked sympathetic and refused to speak.

Qingzhi sighed that there is a long way to go to subdue Xing'er!

Chenxuan lives in the courtyard of the third aunt, which is not very far from Qingzhi, and a stick of incense will be there.

The third aunt has a son and a daughter, the daughter Xige is Chenxuan's mother, and the son Bobin has not yet married. After giving birth to Bobin, her health has not been very good, and this house has been managed by her aunt and mother, and she has nothing to do. The third aunt simply didn't care about her own yard, and left it all to the housekeeper's mother, who wrote poems and verses every day very elegantly. The housekeeper's mother is very conscientious, and she will take care of the fourth sister Xige when she comes back. Grandma didn't speak, and naturally no one dared to talk more.

Since the elders who came to the courtyard must be visited, the third aunt's expression was light, and Qingzhi could not accompany her to appreciate the ancient poems.

The fourth sister Xige's face was not very good, and the thick fat powder could not cover her somewhat dull yellow face, and she was very happy to see Qingzhi and asked her to come over and sit often.

Chenxuan affectionately pulled Qingzhi to the room, and instructed the little maid to bring pastries and tea, and the small courtyard became lively.

opened her mouth and called her aunt, and was covered by Qingzhi.

"From now on, you can call me Qingzhi." It's always my aunt and aunt calling her, and it's really uncomfortable to listen to.

The little girl smiled, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

"My first visit brought me some small gifts." Apricot presented the box with a smile.

Chenxuan wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but her mother behind her reached out to take the thing into her hand, and opened the box to reveal the yellow, orange and orange bracelet inside, looking a little embarrassed.

Qing Zhi looked over and looked at the mother standing behind her, and looked at her several times when she came in, her eyes were full of scrutiny, and she instinctively felt disliked.

"Does Zhi'er know too?" After Chen Xuan finished speaking, her eyes were slightly red, she wiped it with a handkerchief, and bit her lower lip trembling slightly.

The little maids in the yard lowered their heads one by one and pretended to be transparent.

Where does she know what? Qing Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, so she picked up her cup and drank water.

Tears were like beads with broken threads, drawing water marks on her fair face, and the little girl choked up and said, "What should I do in the future?" ”

"Don't cry, it'll be fine." Dry sentence, if Qingzhi wants to turn around and want to leave, I haven't understood it yet, but I'm not in the mood to mix with other people's homes?

I don't know what touched it, Chen Xuan said with some joy: "I knew that you were a good person, and you could come to me for anything in the future." Some embarrassed whispered, "We can talk." ”

"Miss! The thing was returned by Miss Ting'er. The little maid's angry tone, people arrived before they could speak, and when they saw that there were guests in the house, they couldn't restrain their anger.

"Didn't you see my aunt here? Not a spark of decency. Chenxuan stopped drinking, and there was no anger on her face.

The maid didn't care about Qingzhi at all, and finished the matter in one breath: "Miss, you have been showing off this purse for several days, and you are afraid that people will not like it, but you can see how there is such a thing." ”

Ignoring her behavior, Qingzhi has no idea, and there are people who praise and step on the low. Looking at Chenxuan, her fingertips were slightly red, and the blood spots were clearly visible.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan said with some grievances on her face: "Forget it, it must be my embroidered purse, Sister Ting'er doesn't like it, I'll show it again." ”

"Miss, where does she not like your purse, I obviously saw Miss Ting'er ???????"

The maid wanted to continue to say something, Qingzhi stood up, there was no need to participate in this family dispute, "Chenxuan, you are busy here, I will leave first." ”

Standing up, Chen Xuan's expression was a little surprised, there were still undried tears on her face, and she said apologetically: "I wanted to talk to you well, but my maid is ignorant, and I will punish him in a while." ”

The little maid still stood there stunned, and she didn't care about punishing her. Qing Zhi saw it in her eyes, her mood was delicate, this was just empty words.

Chenxuan affectionately took her hand all the way to the door of the small courtyard, and Qingzhi repeatedly dissuaded her from giving up the idea of sending her back to the courtyard.

All the way back to the courtyard, she didn't understand why this thing looked so strange today. The pace was a little slower, and Xing'er walked to the side behind her, and said, "Miss Chenxuan is so pitiful. ”

Qing Zhi looked at her strangely, didn't she say it during the day? How will this take the initiative to speak? Touched? "Why?"

"It's not the eldest lady's side that is making trouble."

"Oh!" Qing Zhi replied and did not ask any further.

Seeing that she didn't have the desire to listen, Xing'er hesitated and stopped talking.
