Chapter 2 The Fourth Sister
"You know the rules of Mama Shen to manage all the maids in your grandmother's house, just now Mama Shen has said that she will punish you, and you dare to instigate me to help you avoid punishment, what are you doing? Relying on my favor, no one will let go of you? To say small, you are bullying me to be young and ignorant, to say that you are unfaithful to your master, what is the use of me being an unfaithful maid? â
After saying a large paragraph, the magpie's eyes were red, she couldn't imagine that the little trick was such a big mistake, and said aggrievedly, "Miss, I don't dare anymore, don't say I'm unfaithful, my mother said, the most important thing to serve the master is loyalty, otherwise it would be better to die." â
"Well," Xiusun nodded solemnly, "Your mother is a knowledgeable person, you must always remember your mother's words and the master's words." After a while, add half an hour, and punish you for your own good, otherwise you will make a big mistake, and the master will burden you, and you will not be able to live yourself. Remember, don't play tricks anymore. Mandarin ducks, remember ...... for a while"
Xiusun turned his head and was about to command the mandarin duck, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mandarin duck's surprised expression, as if he had seen a monster.
Ignoring the magpie's promise, her mind spun fast.
What scared the mandarin ducks like this?
Oh, like herself. That's right, she's a seven-year-old girl now, she hasn't read all the words, and she is still silent on weekdays, so she said such a big thing, and there is a reason.
She was frail and sickly, and her grandmother rarely forced her to study, and she suddenly became calm and generous, and she could speak well, which was a little scary.
What can I do, she had to clear her throat stiffly, and said in an arrogant voice that she couldn't even accept, "In short, don't bully me!" Otherwise, my mother will make you kneel in the courtyard. â
Glancing at the mandarin duck again, she was very relieved, her blue-gray face finally revealed a little blood, I hope she can think of Mrs. who often loves to train people on weekdays, and Miss must have been exposed to it when she was with Mrs.
Pretending to be a child is really not an easy thing, although her body itself is a child, but she can't stop the vicissitudes and old age that are revealed intentionally or unintentionally in the reincarnation, well, she only lived for seventeen years in her last life, but what, in a dangerous place like the palace, it has been at least ten years a year.
Turning her face through the glass of the Xuan window and seeing the rain on the eaves outside the window like silver threads, Xiusun felt that she should work harder in reading in the future, at least to make her "early wisdom" more logical.
It's just this magpie, Xiusun glanced at the little girl who was engrossed in picking up the two crossed clusters of velvet threads, and was carefully turning out, and shook her head secretly in her heart.
Her parents are both stewards in Zhuangzi, and she has been held in the palm of her hand by her family since she was a child until she was six years old, with a pure personality, and she has no resentment when she is punished.
It's a pity that I am not cautious enough and will not be able to read words and feelings, so I still need to teach slowly in the future.
She remembered Princess Zhending in the palace, who was also so innocent.
People who are used to deceiving people always have an inexplicable love for such a little girl.
The tip of her heart was inexplicably soft, Xiusun sighed, the horizontal and vertical Chu family is not big, and there is no need to be so cautious and careful, and her grandmother protects her, so let her stay by her side for a few years, teach her some basic sophistication, and find her a good family to marry before she gets married.
Thinking of this, Xiusun's heart was inexplicably relaxed.
This life is really good, although it is just an ordinary scholarly family, the most important thing is that there is less right and wrong, and the biggest danger I am worried about is that I eat too much and accidentally die of it, or I am too happy to play and accidentally die of joy.
She involuntarily leaned back, leaned on the big pillow behind her, rubbed it comfortably twice, and crushed off the jasmine on her head, and landed on the pillow, exuding a faint fragrance.
Luohan bed is not often enlarged to welcome the pillow, but coincidentally, grandmother Shen is from the capital, and she likes to use the pillow on weekdays, which coincides with Xiusun's habits in her previous life.
When the magpie saw her lying down, he asked blankly, "Miss, don't you play with ropes?" â
"Well, don't play anymore." Xiusun closed her eyes and pointed out the window, "The rain has stopped, you should be punished." â
The magpie really screamed miserably, and was half-dragged and half-carried by the mandarin duck to the verandah.
After a chaotic sound, the magpie finally resigned itself to its fate, and obediently held the basin and was punished.
The residual rain silently collects on the edge of the tile or leaf, gathering into a crystal full water droplet and falling into the puddle on the ground, listening attentively, occasionally there is a sound of dripping, a soft sound.
The corners of her mouth quietly raised, how good it would be if she could live like this all the time, without fighting, without so much care.
The peaceful county lord who bothered to hide himself every day in the palace had long since died and turned into ashes.
She is now a carefree child, and she will grow up in this comfortable mansion, and she may have to marry someone when she grows up, which is a bit annoying, but as long as she doesn't marry into the Liangguo Mansion that is not much better than the palace, isn't it a blessing?
The feeling of comfort made her fall asleep quickly, and in the haze, it seemed as if someone had covered her with a quilt.
"Mandarin duck, I want to drink rose water." She still didn't open her eyes, her cheeks arched between the quilts, and she muttered.
The person who covered her with the quilt seemed to smile silently, lightly took the small cup of azure glazed sunflower on the kang table, opened the cabinet and took the rose fragrance that the old lady had rewarded a few days ago, washed it with water, helped her up and fed her to her mouth.
Drinking half a cup of rose water from the edge of the cup, rubbing her cheeks against the warm and dry fingers of the cup holder, Xiusun's eyes were half-opened, closed them again, smiled and shouted to Mama Shen, and went back to sleep with peace of mind.
It's really sleepy, it seems to have returned to the time when I was a child, and I followed the imperial grandmother and the prince's brother in the morning and evening every day, and I was so tired that I could fall asleep as soon as I put my cheeks on the pillow.
Mama Shen smiled lovingly, sat on the edge of Luohan's bed, and continued to play the tassels in her hands.
It didn't take long for Xiusun to be woken up by a noise, frowned and yawned, and opened her eyes to find that Mama Shen was not around, and turned into a mandarin duck guarding.
I heard the suppressed and hurried voice of the little maid on the verandah, "Fourth Miss, Miss Seven is taking a nap, you can come and play with Miss Seven later." â
When Xiusun heard that it was the fourth sister coming, she couldn't help frowning again, sat up slowly, and said loudly, "The fourth sister is here." â
She sighed in her heart, it turns out that life without trouble is not a zĂ i.
The Chu family has settled in Pukou for more than 80 years, and now it is also a family with a head and a face in Nanzhili.
The ancestor Chu Qi came from the Lanling Chu family, when he was in the Jinling household department of the servant of the office, thinking that he was old, and his old friends were more in the south of the Yangtze River, so he took his children and grandchildren to take root in Jiangpu County, spread the branches and leaves, and built a church called Harmony Hall.
The Chu family's astonishing achievements in the industry make it not to be underestimated in a place like Jinling where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not to be underestimated, and over the past few decades, the Chu family has produced five Jinshi, including a champion and a tanhua.
This champion is Chu Qi's eldest son Chu Zhike, the official went to the Hanlin Academy to study for a bachelor's degree, and then resigned and returned to his hometown, sitting in the Chu family study, teaching and educating people, and the peach and plum are all over the world.
Chu Zhike has a total of three sons and a daughter, of which the second son is a concubine, this son is not outstanding in the imperial examination, but he did not want to give birth to a son who is very good at reading, that is, the old lady Chu Changxun in the second room today, not only good at reading, but also prosperous in official luck.
Xiusun remembered that the imperial grandmother once mentioned Chu Changxun, and the old fox was used to mud. Now that I think about it, Chu Changxun is the eldest son of the concubine, and the strong side branches are often feared by the concubines, which may also be a helpless move by the weak force. Xiusun had never seen this Chu Ge elder in his previous life and in his current life, and he remembered that the prince's brother also mentioned it, saying that the emperor had commented that he was a very capable person.
The Tanhua of the Chu family is Xiusun's grandfather Chu Changyun, a young man, who was less than 20 years old and fell into Tanhua, and later married the only daughter of the then Wuyingdian University Shishen Ge, that is, her grandmother in this life, but unfortunately died of an emergency within a few years of entering the Hanlin Academy.
The grandmother returned to her hometown alone with the young Chu Baye, who also lived in the old house in Jiangpu County, but she didn't know what happened, so she moved out with her son, and since then she has lived in the Foshou Lake Courtyard.
Since Chu Xiusun recovered from a serious illness, she has not seen her grandmother return to her old house in Jiangpu County.
Speaking of which, the old lady of the sect, Shen, is the elder sister of the old lady, and it is really intriguing to make such a scene.
In addition to the above few people who have made great achievements in the imperial examination, they have entered Beijing as officials, and the other children of the Chu family are either not good at reading, or they don't want to enter the Jinshi and don't want to enter the office, so they simply send their love to the landscape, and there are one or two officials who are sporadic and have been released from foreign posts, and the official position is not high.
After all, the Chu family is the place where she settles down, and it is safer to sort out some of them, and these seven-seven-eighty-eight characters can't help but deal with them, otherwise, they won't become savages in the mountains.
The small Chu family's old fourth room lives in the Foshou Lake Courtyard, but it is not necessarily a pool of still water.
As soon as Xiusun lifted the thin quilt and put on her shoes after being served by the mandarin duck, she heard the anxious voice of the fourth sister Chu Xiuguan, "Seventh sister." â
The fourth lady, Chu Xiuguan, is eleven years old this year, and moved to a separate courtyard in the garden, where she was taught the rules by a teaching grandmother.
Xiusun pretended not to see it, and stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Hello, fourth sister." â
She is still small, but this blessed body is upright, calm and generous, with a dignified expression and a young little face in stark contrast.
The fourth lady Xiuguan didn't care about this, but hurriedly returned the gift.
A month ago, Mama Fang just came from the capital, and the old lady asked the three older ladies in the family, the fourth miss Chu Xiuguan, the sixth miss Chu Xiuzhi and the seventh miss Chu Xiusun to listen to Mama Fang talk about the rules, at that time, the ninth miss Chu Xiuqian was only four years old, and the old lady did not let her go, and her aunt Mo also made a big fuss and was punished by the old lady.
No one expected that Xiusun, who was originally weak, learned the fastest, and even Mama Fang was amazed.
But he didn't know that the rules of Xiusun's previous life were taught by Mama Shen of Cining Palace.
