Chapter 9 Mama Zhang
"Miss, you're back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Nalan Qi met the long-awaited girl Qiu Ju outside the triple gate of his yard. Xu had been waiting for a long time in the warm and cold weather, her slender and thin melon seed face was stained with a little flush, and when she saw Nalan Qi's eyes brighten, her tightly knit brows also relaxed, and she hurriedly greeted her.
Mama Zhang, the housekeeper next to the eldest lady, came over to deliver breakfast: almond bergamot, tea knife cutting, osmanthus sweet cakes, and white jade milk tea. In addition, there is a set of bamboo embroidered pleated skirts and a set of peony flower pattern clothes, all of which are cut from imperial fabrics, and I will tell you to wear them when you return to the door with your new lady today. ā
Qiu Ju bowed down and said respectfully in Nalan Qi's ear, while brushing the flowers off her head familiarly.
Nalan Qi didn't make a sound, his expression didn't change, and his steps didn't slow, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Miss!" Qiu Ju followed Nalan Qi a few steps with a sad face, and saw that her young lady was still walking straight without hurrying, but she finally couldn't hold back, and shouted softly, with a sense of anxiety in her tone.
"You're still young, and you don't know the twists and turns in the door of this mansion. Just now, a few of our maids set the words of Mama Zhang, and the second lady went to the eldest lady early this morning, saying that she wanted to take you back to meet her mother, Mrs. Huang, to show her filial piety. The eldest lady sent someone to ask, and when she got the news, she was very happy to give these rewards. But let's not say that the second lady is your stepmother, and it is not appropriate for you to come forward with the relationship between you and the Huang family. These two ladies have made it clear that they will stumble on you! ā
Seeing that there was no one on all sides, Qiu Ju simply squatted down, leaned into Nalan Qi's ear, and lowered his voice.
Nalan Qi was silent, just tilted his head and stared into the distance, as if he was thinking about something and didn't seem to care about anything. The hour had passed, and the sun hung obliquely in the air, sparsely falling and falling a few rays of astigmatism, illuminating Qiu Ju's frostbite-inflicted cheeks also shining.
"There is a moisturizer concocted by a famous doctor Miao on the pestle in my house, you can take it down and use it."
Naranzi blinked suddenly, smiled gently, and then stepped forward again, leaving the maid stunned in place.
The courtyard of the Orchid Pavilion has long been cleaned and spotless, and the corridor covered with cotton lichen is very soft under your feet. The little maid guarding the door of the carved moon cave saw her master hurriedly curtsied, preparing to open the fragrant curtain in the bat pattern.
"Wait a minute." Nalan Qi shook his head lightly and stopped.
"Our eldest wife is really a good person, and yesterday she gave me the deed of sale of my unsuccessful son, and allowed him to be a good citizen."
There was a neutral but unfamiliar voice in the courtyard, presumably this was Mama Zhang.
"Mama is such a blessing." The next humble and amiable is her nurse.
"I'm in" Nalan Qi took off his soiled Pinyue satin embroidered robe, rested it in the little girl's hand, and motioned for her to open the curtain.
"Ah, Miss Seven is back, and the old slave asks Miss Seven to say goodbye." Mama Zhang, who was sitting on the small pestle and laughing and feasting, quickly bowed, and her attitude was very upright and respectful, and she couldn't find the slightest mistake.
This is a grandmother of about half a hundred, but the maintenance is very proper, a black hair is meticulously combed behind the head, only a silver hairpin is pinned, very clean and neat.
"Mama, please get up." Nalan Qi hurriedly stepped forward and gave two false helps.
"Say hello to Miss, this is Mama Zhang, who has a face next to the eldest lady, personally sent the reward down, and waited for Miss for a long time." Nalan Qi's nurse stepped forward lightly at this time to salute, but she said something with a smile in the direction of Mama Zhang.
"I've been waiting for a long time to mention something, it's the duty of a minion. Miss Seven is afraid that she is hungry, so I will make vegetables for Miss Seven. This offering of white jade milk tea is a rare food from outside the Guan, which has the benefit of nourishing and moisturizing the lungs, and the eldest lady only got two pots, one pot for her own consumption, and the other pot ordered me to send it to Miss Seven. At this time, Mama Zhang had a flower blooming on her face, but her movements did not slow down, and she arranged a table of dishes smoothly.
"How dare you bother Mama, nurse, and don't let Mama rest." Nalan Qi drank the white jade milk tea slowly and methodically, smiled politely, and gently instructed his nurse.
"Oh, the slave has to do the slave business, Miss Seven is really tormenting the old slave." Mama Zhang's face was even more comfortable when she heard this, although she frowned and refused, she took the opportunity to rest. Nalan Qi glanced at the nurse standing beside him vaguely.
