Chapter 41: The Crying Maid
"Oh? That's a coincidence, this finch is also the one I unintentionally picked up today, could it be the one my sister lost? ”
Nalan Qi smiled lightly and reached out to rub the finch's fluffy little head, "chirp", the sleeping magpie called comfortably twice, and rubbed it twice affectionately in Nalan Qi's palm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Miss, you... have you misunderstood the meaning of the slave maid, the one the slave bought is different from the one in your hand, how can it be compared?" Hearing this, the Buddha's hand buried his head lower, trembling and almost prostrate on the ground.
"I, who am a young lady, how can I look like a flood beast in the eyes of my sister." Nalan Qi raised his eyebrows and snorted lightly.
She tilted her head and glanced at the Buddha's hand kneeling humbly and piously, although it was drowsy in the rain and she couldn't see it clearly, but the slender neck exposed under the girl's black hair bun was still as white as a grub.
The jade neck is fragrant, and the dull corridor is also shining.
"The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, and a character like my sister kneeling on the ground is really a bad scenery." Nalan Qijing looked at it for a moment, stepped forward slowly, and held up the Buddha's hand that was kneeling at the waist, she thought for a while and said: "Although the magpies in the world are much the same, my sister still has a good look at this one in my hand, if it is yours, Qi'er will return to Zhao after that." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Miss," Bergamot hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't refuse.
She stood sideways beside Nalan Qi stiffly, bowed down and carefully looked at the finch. After a while, her face suddenly stiffened, her lips pursed, and she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what did you find?" Nalan Qi glanced at the Buddha's hand thoughtfully, and saw that she pursed her lips but did not speak, nor was she in a hurry, so she asked lightly.
"Miss..." The Buddha's hand pondered for a moment before he swallowed: "The reason why the slave bought this finch at the market this morning is because it has a red spot on its leg, which is like a finger, which resembles the name of the slave and maid's Buddha's hand. The finches on your hands also have the same mark, I'm afraid it's the same one. ”
She paused, quietly glanced at Nalan Qi, and saw that Nalan Qi's expression had not changed, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", frowned lightly, and said to Ai Ai: "I don't know what kind of luck this finch sneaked out had, and it was picked up by Miss Nalan." Alas, everyone says that things are expensive with the master, and I am just a maid who is born like a mustard, and I am afraid that even this finch is disgusted. Miss, don't say anything about returning to its original owner, let this finch be the plaything of the rich and noble, and count it as my old master... ”
As she spoke, tears instantly welled up in the eyes of the Buddha's hand Qing Lingling, and she sobbed quietly from time to time, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and I saw pity, like a person made of water. If Nalanqi is a man, not to mention the magpie in his hand, I am afraid that all the finches in the world will catch the Pomeranians and smile.
"Sister, don't cry, Qi'er should have returned this finch to you, but since you insist on not wanting it, I might as well obey my fate with respect. Qiu Ju, take ten taels of silver and give it to this sister. ”
Nalan Qi only felt that she was disturbed by the whimpering sobs, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and glanced at Qiu Ju vaguely.
Qiu Ju has always hated these maids who cry and complain all day long, and as soon as she received Nalan Qi's eyes, she immediately stepped forward with understanding.
"How does this make you..." Buddha's heart jumped, in her cognition, these young ladies of the family were very pretentious. They are keen to take away the things you can't bear to let go, but they disdain what you offer with both hands, how do you know that this Nalan Qi doesn't play cards according to the routine, it seems that the finches of the Huangfu are not coming back today, so they can only find another way.
"Miss Nalan, where is this finch worth ten taels of silver... I..." Buddha's body trembled, she forced a stiff smile on her face, and looked at Nalan Qi with tears in her eyes.
"What's not worth it?" Qiu Ju snorted coldly and interjected, just now she listened to the Buddha's self-pity words, her face was already a little ugly, and now she saw that the maid was going to say, and she interrupted impatiently. She neatly took out ten taels of silver from the brocade bag around her waist and handed it over, but the Buddha's hand was confused, and she just knelt on the ground with a gloomy expression and wept to herself.
Qiu Ju stomped her feet, frowned and glanced at the Buddha's hand, her face could hardly hide her anxiety. But because of her own young lady's instructions, she still reluctantly held up the Buddha's hand, and sighed softly and persuaded her: "Sister, people are indeed divided into three, six, nine and so on, but you can't be contemptuous." Although you and I are both maids, but our lives are worry-free, and we are always in peace, so how can we say that we are like grass and mustard in the next life? ”
These words were sincere, and the maids under the corridor showed approving eyes, but when the Buddha heard it, he cried more and more.
"Miss Nalan, you let Qiu Ju hand over the silver taels to the slave maid first. Buddha's hand doesn't know what kind of magic is going on today, so you can laugh. Okra, who had been standing silently on the side, saw that the Buddha's hand was making a mess, so he hurriedly walked to Nalan Qi's side, and made a round softly, but there was a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Nalan Qi nodded when he heard this, and teased with a smile: "I should also go, it's an old horse who pulls the sedan chair for me, and he is very stubborn, if he is in a hurry, maybe he won't let me get on the sedan chair with Qiu Ju." ”
As soon as the words fell, she didn't care about the Buddha's hand who was pitiful to her, so she straightened her hood and walked straight out.
"Miss Nalan, slow down, the slave will send you." Okra was stunned and shouted hurriedly. She turned her head and glanced at the Buddha's hand again, and when she saw that the girl was still wiping her tears aggrievedly, she glared angrily, and scolded with her head: "Look at your pretentious appearance, you really lose the face of our hospital." ”
While she was shutting, she dragged Qiu Jufeng and followed up.
The three of them quickened their pace, but in a few moments, they went out of the gate.
"Sister Mo sent it, let's go back quickly." Nalan Qi said goodbye with a light smile, then turned around and jumped into the sedan chair.
"Miss, sit tight and go home!"
The old horse let out a long neigh, and the "hoof-da-hoof" drove steadily towards Nalan Mansion.
