Chapter 56: Panic
Mother Qin is really a person with means. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lan Xi wanted to see her skills, so she didn't give her any help, even if Lan Xi knew very clearly that the people in this courtyard, whether it was a mother-in-law or a maid, they all had a lot of complaints about this Qin's mother, who was inserted into them halfway and was very embarrassed in front of the girl, especially Pillow Moon and Liuyan, who had a very good relationship with Dong's mother, and rejected her from the bottom of their hearts, but Lan Xi didn't say a word about it.
But I don't know exactly what this Qin's mother did, but in just a few days, Lan Xi clearly felt that the wind direction in the courtyard had changed a little.
Between Qin's mother and Dong's mother, Lanxi did not make a clear division of labor, perhaps the two mothers discussed it privately, so Dong's mother was still in charge of the trivial matters in the yard and the sources of news outside, while Qin's mother was in charge of the affairs in the girl's house. That is to say, except for the few hours when Lanxi went to school, whenever she was in the house, Qin's mother would wait in front of her, and even walk around Lanxi, as long as she didn't specifically say that she would not be allowed to follow, she would follow. She didn't talk much on weekdays, just watched silently, but soon Lan Xi realized that she had figured out her hobbies. For example, Lanxi's room never uses incense, so she asks the maids to put some seasonal fruits or flowers, so that the house is full of fruity fragrance, fresh but elegant, and even Lanxi is happy; For example, Lanxi's daily breakfast is light, but exquisite, not picky, but he doesn't eat green onions, so Lanxi's daily breakfast must be carefully matched, which is not only in line with Lanxi's taste, but also very nutritious, and there will never be onions that Lanxi hates; For another example, Lan Xi is used to practicing calligraphy after dinner every day, and every day when the hour comes, the bookcase is already neatly covered with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and her post has been turned to the second page she learned the day before, and she has never made a mistake. Even, Lan Xi was thirsty, and just wanted to open his mouth to make tea, a cup of flower tea with just the right temperature, not hot or cold, was handed to him.
In short, this Qin's mother is very attentive, and she is simply impeccable in serving Delanxi for a comfortable and ironing job.
And Lan Xi found that everyone in this courtyard actually listened to her dispatch, the first two days or there were still two points of perfunctory, but now the treatment of Qin's mother is the same as the treatment of Dong's mother, as soon as he heard the dispatch, he ran fast, did not dare to delay, let alone slack off, even the pillow moon and Liuyan faced Qin's mother, and they became deferential from the initial sneer, not to mention that Dong's mother, it was only a few days, and Qin's mother was at ease, and the two often talked and laughed together, as if they were sisters. Seeing this, although Lan Xi was curious about what kind of means she used, she didn't inquire more, just looked at such a change, and her heart was both satisfied and happy, it seems that she really found a great helper.
It's time for another day's rest. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the old lady and the third lady also feel sorry for the children and have to walk a long way to ask for peace on a cold day, so they simply waved their hands to save the juniors from morning and dusk. Lan Xi was too lazy to go out of the house, after breakfast, he found a travelogue crooked on the soft couch and flipped it, and the pillow moon took a needle and thread and sat on the embroidery pier in front of the couch, and the master and servant talked with each other. There were two burning braziers burning in the house, warm as spring, but after a while, Lanxi was drowsy and sleepy by the warmth.
Pillow Yue raised her eyes, and saw that her girl was holding a pair of phoenix eyes with a sleepy mood, holding her cheeks with one hand, but her eyes were blurred, she couldn't help laughing, put down the needle and thread, took a blanket and put it on to Lan Xi, and said slowly, "If the girl is tired, close her eyes and rest for a while, and there is nothing wrong left and right." ”
Lan Xi covered his lips and yawned, nodded with wet eyes, shrunk his body into the depths of the blanket, and closed his eyes. Drowsiness soon invaded, and when she was about to be comfortable with Zhou Gong, there was a sudden noise in her ears, Lan Xi frowned in her sleep, but the noise was high, she sighed, and opened her eyes a little helplessly, sleepiness, gone.
Pillow Moon leaned forward, helped her to sit up, and stuffed a big pillow behind her waist to make her sit more comfortably, and said in a low voice, "Mother Qin went out to see." ”
Lan Xi nodded, then lowered his eyes and studied the patterns on the blanket intently. Mother Qin quickly walked in quietly, stood on the edge of the soft couch, bent down close to Lan Xi's ear, and said in a low voice, "Girl, it's the catkins in front of the ninth girl, and she said that she has something important to say to the girl." The mother-in-law at the door was about to return, but she couldn't wait, so she rushed in with a muffled voice, and a few girls in the porter and the mother-in-law went to stop her, so she made a noise. ”
Lan Xi frowned, catkins? What's the matter with this catkins looking for her? As soon as her thoughts turned, she asked, "Where are the people?" ”
"I asked her to wait under the porch, and I came to the girl first."
"Let her in!"
Mother Qin said yes, turned around and went out, and personally called Liu Fu in. Then she exited the door again, facing the flue, "You go and see, which ones are on errand today, no matter what the reason is, it is also their dereliction of duty to quarrel with the girl, one person will be fined half a month's money, and the mother in charge will be fined a month." Give me the skin tightly, if there is a next time, come to me to get the board, if there is a third time, then I will return to the girl, we can not afford to raise idlers. ”
Liuyan felt a pang in his heart, bowed his head in response, and hurried away. Mother Qin lifted the curtain and entered the flower hall. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a person kneeling in front of him, the half-old cyan bicarature, wasn't it the one called catkins in front of the nine girls? Mother Qin saw her hanging her head, white face and white mouth, full of panic, tears falling down her eyes, and she frowned slightly. Who knew that a glance from the corner of her eye, but she saw that her girl's face was even paler, a pair of eyes stared at the catkins, gritted her teeth, but her lips trembled slightly, Qin's mother didn't feel a "grunt" in her heart, what was going on?
"Say it again!" Lan Xi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and he could clearly hear the clicking sound of teeth colliding in his mouth.
"The Nine Girls are gone. The ninth girl was so bored that she had to let the slave maid take her to the garden to play. On the edge of Shuangyue Lake, the nine girls saw that there was a plum blossom in the forest, so she asked the slave maid to cut two branches so that the wife could insert a bottle, and the nine girls kept following the slave maid. The slave and maid just made a turn, and then ...... And the girl was gone. Liu Fu knelt on the ground, only to feel that the coldness in her heart was even stronger under the stares of the five girls, and she rushed straight to her back one by one, making her tremble uncontrollably.
Mother Qin raised her eyes in shock, the ninth girl was gone?
