Chapter 23 The Meaning of Qiu Niang

The next day, Xie Huayan, who had been scared for a night, finally fell asleep after the third watch, and soon heard the knock on the door of Spring. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Huayan baby said that he was very angry.

'Dangdang' knocked for a long time, and found that no one answered, and the spring couldn't help but shout: "Miss, are you up?" Miss" Chunyi couldn't help but slam in her heart, she had served Miss for so long, and this kind of thing had never happened. Hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw that under the curtain, his young lady buried her head in the quilt like an ostrich, leaving only her body outside, and her hands were still covering her ears.

Putting down the copper basin to be washed in his hand, the spring went straight to Xie Huayan. I didn't forget to say, "Miss, why are you getting up so late today?" As he walked, he propped up the curtains beside Xie Huayan's bed to both sides. Her own young lady is really stupid.

It just so happened that Mama Gu also walked in, and Chunyi had no choice but to signal to Mama Gu, and Mama Gu couldn't help but laugh, Miss is lying in bed!

"Miss, you forgot to say hello to the old lady from today! And you also made an appointment with Qiu Niang to judge the clothes today! Hiding under the quilt, Xie Huayan wanted to minimize his existence, but he was helpless. As soon as he heard that Qiu Niang was coming today, he hurriedly lifted the quilt, and almost forgot all the important things in his heart. blamed that person last night, so much so that I was worried all night, and I couldn't help but scold that person last night.

Wearing shoes, he walked to his dresser and looked at himself in glasses. His hair was scratched like a chicken nest, and his eyes were very dark. I couldn't help but scold that person last night again.

At the same time, in another place, Qishutang, "Ah Sneeze", the ghost-faced man can't remember that this is the first few sneezes today, and it seems that there is a serious trend! Just thinking about it, a sneeze came again.

"Ziqing, if you want me to say that you are doing this, your body is just better, you run out at night, it is strange if you don't feel the cold" Mo Yun, who was sitting alone playing chess, couldn't help laughing at his friend when he saw this. I don't know what medicine this kid took wrong, so he just woke up and didn't talk a word, so he ran out.

After breakfast and greeting the old lady, Xie Huayan had just stepped into the Water Pavilion Courtyard, where he lived, when he saw Tingyu walking towards him.

"Miss, Qiu Niang has been waiting in the house for a long time," Qiu Yu said in a low voice.

"Okay, lead her to my room," Xie Huayan commanded. "Spring, you go and fetch twenty taels of silver."

Chunyi was puzzled, looked at his own lady, and saw Xie Huayan's solemn face, Chunyi didn't dare to be lazy, and left with a "yes" answer.

Watching Chunyi leave, Xie Huayan continued to enter the courtyard, and when he opened the door of his bedroom, he saw a woman of about forty, wearing the short cloth and brown worn by ordinary women, with a look of vicissitudes of life, standing there respectfully at the moment.

remembers that she inadvertently saved her son in her previous life, only to know that she was once a show girl in the palace, and because of her illness, she was kicked out by the palace grandmother. I happened to meet a kind farmer to take him in, and in order to repay the kindness, I promised myself to him. Later, her husband was beaten to death because of the landlord's bullying. And when she saved their mother and son that day, it was the landlord who sold her son to pay off the debt, and later redeemed them and paid their debt.

Even if they are living in a slump now, they are unwilling to bow their heads and submit to others easily, but they have a backbone. Xie Huayan said in his heart.

"Second Miss is good," Qiu Niang said respectfully.

"Qiu Niang doesn't have to be polite, just call me Huayan how many times you say it," Xie Huayan smiled sweetly.

"Second Miss, this can't be done," Qiu Niang said with sincere fear. Mama Gu on the side also brought the tea and poured tea for the two. "Thank you" Qiu Niang, who had brought the tea, thanked Mama Gu.

"Qiu Niang, what's wrong with the little tiger?" Xie Huayan said. Seeing Xie Huayan mention her child, Qiu Niang was no longer restrained and said, "This child is very difficult now, I just stabbed the hornet's nest of Aunt Wang's house next door a long time ago, and I was full of stings, so I beat him again, who knew later that this child wanted to take honey for my birthday" Saying that, Qiu Niang's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Little Huzi has grown up," Xie Huayan said lightly.

"Yes, Xiaohuzi has indeed grown up" Qiu Niang looked relieved. Suddenly I remembered why I was called. Qiu Niang hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve and asked, "I don't know why the second lady called Qiu Niang this time?" ”

"I can't hide it, I called Qiu Niang this time to ask Qiu Niang to help me see if there is anything wrong with this silk" Xie Huayan also put away his smile and said with a serious face. After speaking, he gestured to Mama Gu, and after a while, Mama Gu took out the silk.

Qiu Niang saw Xie Huayan's face and didn't ask more. He looked at the silk directly, looked at it for a while, and then twisted it with his hand. Only then did he reply, "Miss Hui, this cloth is well-made, with fine foot pins, and it is a first-class cloth." ”

"I was relieved to see Qiu Niang answer like this, but there is something else that Qiu Niang doesn't quite understand," Xie Huayan continued to ask.

"Second Miss, please speak."

"Spices can be added to the clothes before they are formed," Xie Huayan said with a puzzled expression.

"Anyone who makes clothes knows that spices should not be added to clothes before they are formed, because once spices are added, although the surface of the satin has not changed, the material of the clothes has changed, and it is very easy to cause damage to the clothes due to pulling or other big behaviors" Qiu Niang glanced at Xie Huayan after speaking, and saw that Xie Huayan's small face also became extremely white.

Seeing this, Qiu Niang picked up the silk and put it on the tip of her nose, and sure enough, she smelled a subtle fragrance, although it was small, but she could smell it.

Is it still impatient? Do you want to frame yourself so much? I'm not going to let you get what you want. Unconsciously, Xie Huayan's hands were clasped together.

"Second Miss" Qiu Niang's low call pulled back Xie Huayan's thoughts. Xie Huayan said again, "Qiu Niang, Hua Yan has something to ask for, and I ask Qiu Niang for help." Xie Huayan looked eager.

Although Qiu Niang didn't know what was going on, in this high gate deep courtyard, plus she had been in the palace for many years, she could guess anything, and said in her heart, "My son's life was saved by Miss, even if Qiu Niang dies, she will never give up" Qiu Niang said solemnly.

Xie Huayan was moved and said, "Qiu Niang is serious, Hua Yan just wants Qiu Niang to do a small favor, and asks Qiu Niang to come over." Qiu Niang heard Xie Huayan's request, so she also went closely.

I saw Xie Huayan muttering a few words in Qiu Niang's ear, then got up and asked, "Qiu Niang may be able to do it?" ”

Although Qiu Niang didn't know what the second lady's intentions were, she also agreed, and only said, "Please rest assured, Second Miss, Qiu Niang will do it as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Qiu Niang's sworn face and the appearance of a bamboo in her chest, Xie Huayan was relieved. The two then discussed some other aspects of life chores, and near noon, Qiu Niang got up and said to Xie Huayan, "Xiaohuzi is at home alone, Qiu Niang is quite worried about him, and she has to prepare lunch for Xiaohuzi, so she won't stay here with the second lady."

Xie Huayan knew that he couldn't keep it, so he ordered, "Spring, come in."

I saw Chunyi walking in with a few silver ingots towards Qiu Niang, and Qiu Niang was puzzled and asked, "Second Miss, what does this mean?"

"Qiu Niang don't have to worry, this is a little bit of my heart, at the beginning of spring, Xiaohuzi should also enroll, plus Xiaohuzi stabbed Ma Fengwo, it must have cost a lot of silver! You can use these first. Xie Huayan said with a sincere face as he handed the silver to Qiu Niang.

"No merit, second miss, I can't accept this" Qiu Niang glanced at the silver handed in front of her, and saw the silver pushed over again.

Xie Huayan knew that Qiu Niang was a high-spirited child, so he had to say, "Then I should have lent it to Qiu Niang, and besides, Qiu Niang has promised to help me, so why is it useless to say that it is not worth it" Xie Huayan continued to persuade.

Yes, what the second miss said is indeed right, now is when she needs money, and the second miss also said that the money was lent to herself, so it is considered that she borrowed the money from the second miss, and it is not too late to replace her in the future.

Qiu Niang thought about it again and again, and then glanced at the sincere second lady, and then slowly reached out and took the money. Later, he knelt down and said, "The second lady's great kindness, Qiu Niang is toothless and unforgettable", and a line of tears couldn't help but slip from Qiu Niang's eyes.

Xie Huayan also stopped talking, bent over to help Qiu Niang up, told her a few words, and then ordered Mama Gu to send her away.

It seems that he has to be prepared, Xie Huayan said secretly in his heart.
