Chapter 32: Aunt Chunjuan
Chunjuan returned to her residence, hastily ate the meal, and was sitting under the corridor in a daze, far away, there were two girls in the corridor, one named Fluttershy, the second-class maid next to the young lady, and a little girl looked very angry, the little girl was holding a box of things in her hand, and walked to Chunjuan with Fluttershy, Fluttershy came forward and smiled and said hello: "Slave Fluttershy, please say hello to Aunt Juan, slave maid and Xiaoyun are ordered by the young lady to serve Aunt Juan, this box of headdress is given to Aunt Juan by the young lady." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said and handed over the things in his hand.
Chunjuan took it and opened it, and gasped, the box was full of gold, silver, beads, hairpins, jewelry, and jade, and the workmanship was luxurious, not something she could afford to wear. Chunjuan quietly put away the jewelry box, put it on the stool, got up and held up Fluttershy's hands and said: "Sister Fluttershy has always been a clever person, and she will have a good future in the future, how can she serve me, there is no Chunqin in the young lady's room now, and I can't always be by the young lady's side, sister, this is your chance to be promoted to a first-class big girl, wait for me to recommend my sister to the young lady, he will be able to be valued one day and become the young lady's right-hand man, At that time, I will ask my sister to bring me a lot of useless sisters. ”
Fluttershy's eyes flashed, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, "Aunt Juan said something, Fluttershy is just a slave, she can work whatever her master tells her to do, and it is a blessing for Fluttershy to be able to serve her aunt, and Fluttershy will do her best." ”
Seeing Fluttershy say this, Chunjuan's smile on her face remained unchanged and said, "That's fine, with Fluttershy by her side, my sister is not so lonely, and there is always someone to talk to." From now on, Chunjuan really became an aunt and lived in the wisteria house arranged for her by the young lady Shi Huiyun, she no longer did the work of serving people, but had two more little girls who served her.
Regardless of whether Shi Huiyun is favored or not, she is the wife of the little marquis, and she is the housewife of Meiyun Meiyu and several other aunts, so every morning, they have to go to the courtyard of Luoyue Xuan early to wait, and when Shi Huiyun wakes up, they are summoned to go in to serve.
In the past, it was all Meiyun Meiyu, Xiangshu Xiangmo four people, but today there is one more Chunjuan, in the past, Chunjuan slept on the rattan chair outside the young lady's bedroom to keep vigil, saying that it was an aunt, in fact, it was a vigil girl, although the young lady carried her and gave her the name of an aunt, the little marquis also spoiled her, but because she was not favored, so the four of Xiangshu Xiangmo Meiyu Meiyun never put Chunjuan in their eyes. Yesterday, I heard that the little marquis went to the young lady where to have a big temper, after that, the young lady ordered Chunjuan to move to the wisteria house, the four of them knew that the young lady was going to use the card of Chunjuan, the wisteria house was the closest to the little marquis's study, in the past, the scholar wanted to go to the wisteria house, but the young lady refused, Shi Huiyun didn't give anyone, it was empty, and now, it finally ushered in its new owner, Aunt Chunjuan.
Looking at Aunt Chunjuan, who was standing at the door of Luoyue Xuan like the four of them, dressed up today, the four of them couldn't help but pout, the corners of their lips are girls, no matter how they dress up, they still have a rustic atmosphere, and they can't get on the stage at all. Look at the dress, the one who wears royal blue clothes with crimson shoes, and has a pure gold headdress full of golden light on his head, and even the earrings are pure gold, and the two pairs of pure gold bracelets on his hand look like a nouveau riche. Chunjuan asked Fluttershy to comb her with a grand heavy sideburns, with a lot of pure gold bushes and headdresses inserted into her temples, and her makeup was too heavy, and the whole person looked top-heavy, like a moving gold ingot, which was simply vulgar.
The four of them didn't talk to Chunjuan, Gu Zi chatted, Meiyu said to Xiangmo with a smile: "Xiangmo, I heard that my lord raised a small one in another hospital and was pregnant, do you guess it will be a son?" "Among the few people, only Xiangmo has a child, although it is only a second lady who is a concubine, but it is better than nothing, and the little marquis will go to her aunt's yard several times a month for the sake of the children. Meiyu Meiyun has always been dissatisfied with this matter, her sisters want to say that their appearance is better than Xiangshu, and they grew up reading and writing by Mrs. Hou's side since they were children, and they were raised as half a young lady, so their temperament is different from that of ordinary maids, and they have no cowardly heart at all.
Xiangmo just hugged her daughter, turned her eyes away and didn't look at her, and didn't reply to her words. This annoyed Meiyu, and she stepped forward quickly and pushed Xiangmo, shouting, "Ask you!" Are you dumb? How not to answer! Seeing this, Meiyun hurriedly went up to pull Meiyu back, but it was too late, Xiangmo was pushed by Meiyu and had already fallen to the ground, the two mothers and sons rolled together, and the second lady was frightened and cried out. Xiangshu frowned and said to Meiyu: "Why did you move your hands upside down, didn't you see someone holding the child?" Look at the scared kids. Xiangshu helped Xiangmo up and looked at it: "Oops! Xiangmo, your forehead is bleeding. Someone! Aunt Xiangmo and Second Miss were injured. "Xiangshu ran to the door of Luoyue Xuan again and said to the two mothers-in-law guarding the door, go and report to the young lady, the second lady was frightened, and Aunt Xiangmo was injured and bleeding." The two mothers-in-law stood at the door just now, and they also saw some, and now they didn't dare to delay, and one of them ran to report who Huiyun was.
Xiangshufu came back and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on Xiangmo's forehead, Xiangmo stood like that with the second miss in his arms, neither shouting pain nor making trouble, just like the second miss in his arms, he only knew how to cry. Meiyu's face turned pale when she saw that she was in trouble, but fortunately, two little maids had been supporting her, otherwise she would have fainted.
At this time, the mother-in-law of the messenger came back, followed by Chunli, Chunli is now the young lady's personal maid, as soon as she came to see this, oops! With a sound, he greeted him and said to the two little maids behind Xiangmo: "Why are you still stunned?" Why don't you help your aunt and second lady in quickly. The two little maids obeyed. She turned to the other four and said, "The four aunts have been waiting for a long time, and now the young lady has risen, and I am inviting a few of them in!" Meiyun, Meiyuxiang, Shu Chunjuan went in with Chunli.
Several people entered Shi Huiyun's room together, Shi Huiyun just got up, wearing only a middle coat, sitting in front of the dresser, six little maids held trays high in their hands, and what they held were two basins of warm water and towels for the young lady to clean her face, pancreatic mouthwash, green salt and other things, Chunjuan always served Shi Huiyun in the past, so she naturally stepped forward to serve, and Xiangshu was also used to serving, so she went to help together. The two of them lightly cleaned Shi Huiyun's face and saw the bruises on the corners of her mouth, but both of them lowered their heads and said nothing, and continued to rinse Shi Huiyun's mouth with water and green salt. Shi Huiyun opened her eyes and saw Chunjuan combing her hair in the mirror, and Xiangshu was choosing jewelry, and suddenly said: "Chunjuan, you and Xiangshu should step aside, let Meiyun Meiyu serve today." "In the past, Shi Huiyun didn't ask Meiyun Meiyu to serve, because Meiyun Meiyu was her mother-in-law's person, so she always had to give some face. After Shi Huiyun finished speaking, she closed her eyes and recuperated.
Chunjuan and Xiangshu gently put down the things in their hands, turned sideways and retreated, Meiyun Meiyu stepped forward lightly, Meiyun picked up the comb and continued to comb Shi Huiyun's hair, Meiyu helped choose jewelry, put on earrings and necklace bracelets for the young lady, and then put on the appropriate headdress after Meiyun combed her hair.
Suddenly, the jade comb in Meiyun's hand was beaten, and two strands of hair were torn off, Shi Huiyun frowned, and the painful mouth "hissed" twice, stood up and raised his hand and slapped Meiyu's face next to Meiyun, Shi Huiyun was still puzzled, and slapped it with his backhand, and Meiyu's jade-like face suddenly had two red palm prints, and the whole face was immediately swollen. Meiyun Meiyu immediately knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "The concubine is stupid, please punish the young lady." Meiyun was so frightened that her face was as white as paper, her body trembled, and Meiyu was even more frightened in her heart, only knowing that she was shouting in her mouth, "Young lady spare her life." ”
Shi Huiyun sneered: "Spare your life, hum!" I see you want my life. If it was so heavy, Meiyun and Meiyu were so frightened that they bit their lips, and Meiyun climbed forward to grab Shi Huiyun's trouser pipe: "The young lady is kind-hearted, and Mrs. Hou often praises you for being the most filial in front of our sisters, presiding over everything in the mansion is easy to be in order, and convincing people with virtue is a rare good daughter-in-law." Meiyu heard what Meiyun said, and quickly climbed forward and hugged Shi Huiyun's thigh and said, "Yes, yes, the young lady is kind-hearted, spare our sisters." After speaking, she cried in fear and looked up at Shi Huiyun timidly, only to feel that she was like the king of Hades in the Yama Palace at the moment, which was terrifying.
Shi Huiyun played with a golden hairpin on the dresser and chuckled: "You hurt Mrs. Ben today, and if you commit the following crimes, even if Mrs. Ben kills the two of you, it is reasonable." She changed her words and said: "However, Mrs. Ben is kind-hearted, of course she will not be like you, so let's do it, the two of you will think about it behind closed doors for three months, and you are not allowed to go out of the yard for a step. Shi Huiyun said a few words, understatement, Meiyun and Meiyu were sweating profusely, trembling, lying on the ground and making a sound, not daring to hesitate.
Shi Huiyun called someone to help Meiyun and Meiyu, who were already paralyzed as mud, and ordered Xiangshu Chunjuan to come forward and comb her hair, but she still closed her eyes and recuperated. Xiangshu's heart was like a drum, but his hands were more sober, and he quickly dressed Shi Huiyun with Chunjuan, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside. Chunli stepped forward to direct the little girls to dress the young lady, Peiyu, Shi Huiyun suddenly said: "I heard that Xiangmo is injured, how is it now?" ”
Chunli replied respectfully: Aunt Xiangmo was pushed down by Aunt Meiyu and fell to the ground, which frightened the second lady, and the slave maid had already asked the doctor to see it, saying that it was to be recuperated for a month or two, and it was not suitable to see the wind if there were external injuries, so it was better to recuperate in the house with peace of mind. ”
Shi Huiyun nodded lightly, and said slowly: "Meiyu is so bold, she dares to do something to the second lady, no matter how you say it, it is also the flesh and blood of the little marquis. Now that she is frightened, she should have taken good care of her, but unfortunately her aunt was injured and needed to recuperate. Chun-Li, go and bring the second lady to me, and I will raise it myself. Chun-Li answered.
In the dining room, Chunjuan and Xiangshu waited for Shi Huiyun to finish breakfast and were about to retire, Shi Huiyun stopped Xiangshu and said: "Xiangshu, you have the best relationship with Xiangmo, and now that she is injured, you can go and accompany him for two months, so that she won't be able to get out of the house, and there will be no one to talk to." Xiangshu didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly agreed.
Shi Huiyun waved his hand, and the two of them were like being amnestied, dragging their sour hands and legs together and walking out of the Luoyue Xuan, out of the weeping arch of the Luoyue Xuan, the two walked to the lotus lake, saw the ice and snow all over the lake, and the two stood under the bare willow trees and looked at each other. Xiangshu pulled out a wry smile and said: "Sister Chunjuan seems that good things are coming, with the support of Mrs., good days are coming in a flash." ”
Chunjuan no longer pretended to be stupid at this time, pulled out a faint smile, and said: "Sister is so smart, I must know that my sister is just a kite in someone else's hand, whether she can fly or not, where she flies, you have to listen to the person holding the string in her hand." ”
Xiangshu sighed: "After all, everyone is a hard-working person, and I don't know when and what month will I be able to survive?" ”
Chunjuan smiled lightly, turned around and saw that the maid Xiaodie and Xiaoyun and the two maids beside Xiangshu had already rushed over, gathered the cotton robe on her body, showed a sweet smile on her face, and leaned down slightly to Xiangshu to ask for a salute: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, sister walk slowly, be careful not to choke on the cold wind, sister will say goodbye." ”
Chunjuan led Fluttershy Xiaoyun slowly along the left side of the Lotus Lake, and when she saw that she was far away, Xiangshu took the hand of the maid Xiaoqin and walked to the right side of the Lotus Lake.
Back at Wisteria House, Fluttershy takes off Chunjuan's heavy cotton robe and puts it on a light lilac robe. Shi Huiyun was very kind to Chunjuan this time, not only sending Fluttershy Xiaoyun to be her personal maid, but also rewarding four little maids and two rough mothers-in-law, who were usually a handyman and a gatekeeper. All the things in Wisteria House were all handled within two days of Chunjuan moving in, and they were all picked up for use, which was Shi Huiyun's personal order, and the people did not dare to slack off, and they did it very properly.
It is said that after the little Hou Ye Cui Shuyan was arrogant and lost his temper with his wife, he was called over by Mrs. Hou Ye and reprimanded, he decided in his heart that this matter was Shi Huiyun's doing, but unfortunately Chunqin died and did not speak, and several mothers-in-law also refused to admit that they were instructed by the young lady, there was no evidence, and he had to endure his temperament, after all, Shi Huiyun was the daughter of the scholar of the Ministry of Etiquette, and if there was no big mistake, it could not be disposed of at will.
Cui Shuyan was depressed in his heart, and rode a horse alone for two days and two nights, and only then did he be exhausted and brought back to the Hou Mansion by finally finding his iron head. As soon as he returned home, he told Tietou to go to Qian Yuning of the Green Willow Courtyard to take it, he had a few words with Qian Yuning a few days ago, and now he didn't want to pick it up in person, thinking that she would not be pampered and arrogant. Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days and there was no movement, Cui Shuyan found Tietou, and Tietou said hesitantly that the new aunt had been picked up by Mrs. Hou's people, and he didn't know where she went, and Mrs. Hou Ye personally met him and strictly ordered him not to inform the little Hou Ye of the matter, so he had to hide from Cui Shuyan for the past two days.
Hearing this, Cui Shuyan ran to find his wife.
