Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Strange Man
The old lady was right. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Wan was still expressionless.
Jing Ci's ass sat on his legs for a moment, his legs were a little numb, and he moved quietly.
"Sit down, sit down." The old lady's tone was rather stern.
The old lady then sighed, looking helpless, "That's it, you can't help the seedlings." I think...... Prosperity, go and bring the needlework, let the four ladies start to learn from threading the needlework. ”
When everyone heard this, they had the meaning of watching a good show.
The maid beside the old lady led the way, and after a while, a few balls of thread came over, and a hundred fine needles.
"Siniang, tonight you will see how long it will take to see through these hundred needles."
Jing Ci paused, the old lady couldn't fix her?
"Hurry." The old lady urged.
Jing Ci was surprised, "Now? ”
The old lady said to another maid: "Changsheng, you look at the time, see how the four ladies are threading, see the subtlety, and you can guess the level of female popularity." ”
Jing Ci felt a resentment rise in his heart, since he couldn't make sense of the female red, what else was there to measure, it was obvious that he was deliberately embarrassed. She moved her legs, her legs were completely numb, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't do it, and then looked at the needle and thread presented to her by the maid, and wanted to cry without tears.
Jing Ci slowly picked up a needle, alas, if you want to wear it all, how long will it take......
"It's getting late, you guys go back early to rest, and I'll supervise Siniang." The old lady smiled and said to everyone.
Everyone glanced at the dejected Jing Ci on the couch, got up with different expressions, and retired one by one.
Jing Ci looked at Wang Wan with a blank eye, only to see her leave without looking back, let alone pleading for her. Li Chen grimaced at her instead, grinning and going out.
Originally, it was enough to toss every day, but today Deng Leyou was quite tired, and he was called to the courtyard when he came back, and now he was "punished" and threaded a needle, she has already had a confused brain, her eyes are dizzy, and she is almost unable to sit steadily.
The fingers holding the needle and thread trembled incessantly......
The legs are completely unintuitive......
In the end, she simply put down the needle and said confidently, "Jing is not fluent, the woman is red, the eyes are not good, and I can't wear it." ”
The young girl standing on the side frowned slightly, and she was not worried in her heart, Siniang resisted like this...... I'm afraid that I will suffer all night.
The old lady was stunned when she saw her behaving like this, but instead of being annoyed, she laughed.
"When I entered the Yang Mansion, I didn't know how to be a woman, the old lady just told me to thread a needle, and I didn't wear it." The old lady was fascinated by a pair of vicissitudes of life, as if she was recalling, "Alas, it has been fifty or sixty years, and I live in the Yang Mansion, and I don't know what kind of world it is outside." "Come to think of it, she is in the concubine room, gave birth to the only son of Yangfu, the old lady wants to help her as the main house, so she reshapes her with the standard of everyone's beauty, the hardships during this period, I can't count them, in the end, she is still not corrected, Ah Lang went, and the housemother went.
After her son took charge of the family, she had not given birth to a child for a long time, she had to plan for the Yang Mansion, how could she dare to break the foundation and family business left by her ancestors...... It's been fifty or sixty years.
"Seven days in the mountains, a thousand years in the world."
The old lady smiled but said nothing.
Jing Ci moved his legs again, his brows furrowed.
"Is it fun?" The old lady glanced at her, oblivious to her intense discomfort.
"The scenery is very beautiful, looking up at the sunset, overlooking Chang'an."
"Yes." The old lady nodded, "Prosperity, prosperity, until spring, we will also go out of the house to see." The two maids on the side smiled sweetly, and said that they were blessed.
"Have you ever been to the East and West Cities?" Apparently the old lady was interested in the outside world.
"Didn't go."
"Where's Qu Jiang?"
"Never."
"Tsk, you're too bad at playing." The old lady looked disdainful, "What kind of excitement do you make on this kind of day to go to Leyouyuan, go to Qujiang, the flowers are around, and the smoke and water are bright." ”
"Then Jing Ci will take a look next time......" She couldn't help but look at her calves with her hands.
The old lady moved her body and changed to a more comfortable position, "Look at your unproductive appearance, you will tremble for a while, if you enter the palace in the future, won't you be ashamed?" ”
"Enter, enter the palace?" Jing Ci was surprised, how did you talk about entering the palace?
"Not really. What kind of family is my Yang family, if you don't marry the emperor, you have to marry the prince and grandson. ”
Jing Ci was quite speechless when he heard this, and the arrogance of the Yang family was probably inherited from the old lady.
"When you're tired, cross your legs." The old lady said helplessly.
Jing Ci was finally "pardoned".
Her legs were numb, and she couldn't help but hiss......
The young girl hurriedly stepped forward to pinch her legs for the master.
"What is Leyouyuan like now?" The old lady's interest in the outside is not usually strong.
Jing Ci complained bitterly in his heart, and his stomach rumbled a few times out of place......
Gollum –
"Hungry?"
"Yes." Jing Ci generously admitted.
"Prosperity, go and serve some snacks to Siniang," the old lady instructed the maid, turned her head to Jing Ci and said, "It's getting late, you can rest here with me tonight." ”
Jing Ci's eyes widened in disbelief, and in the end she could only purse her lips and nod, seeing death as if she were home, she hadn't tortured her enough, so she was allowed to stay overnight in the courtyard!
…………
Wanyuan.
It's past sun, but the master bedroom is still brightly lit.
Yang Shouyan reclined on the couch, with a cup of steaming tea on the table, as if he was thinking.
"Isn't the big lady still resting?" The mother-in-law said softly.
She shook her head, took a sip from her teacup, and said after a moment, "What's going on in Yuyin Academy?" ”
"Wan Niang is as indifferent as usual, and she doesn't see anything unusual."
"That girl...... Let's dry. ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law replied, "The eldest lady should rest early, the night is heavy, beware of catching a cold." ”
"Hmm."
The maidens dispersed quietly.
Suddenly, the candlelight in the master bedroom dimmed.
In just one night, gossip about the fourth lady has spread all over the sky.
The servants spread rumors that the four ladies angered the steward, and they were tortured by the steward for a night. A few days ago, I was just punished by the eldest lady, and now I am tortured like this, and the maid did not intercede at all, and turned a deaf ear, everyone sighed, in the end, the person who was sent out can't get close.
As a result, the Yang Mansion can't afford to pay attention to this fourth lady.
Look at the four ladies and grandmothers don't love their uncles, even if the three ladies don't like Ah Lang and Guan Niang, at least there are maids to take care of them, but what does her four ladies have?
Early the next morning.
Jing Ci walked back to the courtyard slowly, refreshed, and yesterday's fatigue was gone. She finally got a touch of this grandmother's eccentric temperament, serious in front of people, and an old urchin who is unwilling to be lonely.
"Grandmother will really enjoy it."
"The old lady loves comfort, and is especially strict with food and clothing." Qingnu said.
"Do you know what was in that 'bath bean recipe' last night?" Last night, when Jing Ci was about to soak her feet and rest, the maid Prosperity handed the young girl a packet of bath bean noodles, saying that it was for the old lady. Unexpectedly, after soaking, the effect of this party to remove fatigue was immediate, and Jing Ci woke up refreshed, so he was quite interested in this thing.
Qingnu's father is a medical worker in Luyan, she has been picking up medicine in the pharmacy since she was a child, and later her father accidentally killed Taiwei's only son, and she was also implicated.
"According to the slave maid, the 'bath bean recipe' is also composed of at least ten flavored medicines, among which there should be soil melon roots, Yulou, and Shanglu, as for what else there is, what is the amount, the slave and maid are not very clear." Last night, the young girl personally took a bath bean recipe for her master, and through her touch, eyes, and nose, she could only vaguely recognize these three flavors.
"Can there be a Lang Zhong in the Yang Mansion?" Since it is a prescription, it must be a match for Langzhong. The huge Yang Mansion is not strange to raise a few Langzhong.
"There's a Doctor Zhang in the house."
"Invite him to the courtyard."
"Yes."
Last night, the old lady pulled Jing Ci to chatter, and asked Jing Ci to talk about what she had seen and heard in Luoyang and the appearance of Tanzhou, Jing Ci was sleepy, but the old lady's interest was very strong, until late at night when drowsiness hit, she asked Jing Ci to rest, and appreciated Jing Ci a foot soup.
It is said that this old lady has a strange personality, but in fact, she has been lonely for a long time, she likes to toss people, and she likes to be lively in her bones.
Jing Ci recently learned through observation that Yang Shouyan was in charge of the Yang Mansion, and the old lady only cared about eating, drinking and having fun every day, as for Yang Zhiqing...... He rarely asks about trivial matters in the house, and most likely he has been directing her to do great things behind her back. The rest of the aunts were insignificant, just playmates for the old lady to tease when she was lonely.
