Chapter 183: The First Nobleman
Gui Zi generation, Xiao Xia immediately remembered Gui Ying and Gui Lan, and felt a little more good for these two in her heart.
Looking at them again, they are only thirteen or fourteen years old, their faces are still a little immature, their faces are slightly baby fat, and there are two well-behaved and cute little buns on their heads.
Xiao Xia nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Gu's mother with gratitude.
"Miss Xiao Xia likes it. Gui Fang, Gui Xiang, Miss Xiao Xia will be your serious master in the future, you have to serve well, you can't be the slightest slack, can you remember? ”
The two of them should say yes in unison, and Gu's mother admonished and explained again, and then said goodbye to Xiao Xia and left.
There were originally two little maids and two rough mothers-in-law in the courtyard where Xiao Xia lived, but they were originally responsible for sprinkling and sweeping in this yard, and they were not responsible for serving Xiao Xia closely, and they were illiterate, and it was very difficult for Xiao Xia to communicate with them for a few days.
After Gui Fang waited for Mother Deng to leave, she cautiously peeked at Xiao Xia, and saw that Xiao Xia was looking at herself, so she quickly lowered her head and blessed her body: "Miss, the slave has made a mistake!" ”
Xiao Xia turned around and wrote two words on the paper that had been prepared long ago: "It's okay!" ”
Gui Fang and Gui Xiang glanced at each other: "Miss, Gu's mother wants the slave maid to prepare pen, ink and paper for Miss at any time, what kind of pen and ink does Miss like to use?" If you can call it famous, the slave and maid will go to the treasury to receive it. ”
Xiao Xia thought about it, it was too troublesome to grind ink at any time, and it would be better if he used a cloth bag to wrap a few carbon rods prepared in advance.
Xiao Xia led them to the small stove in the courtyard where the water was boiling, found a leftover carbon stick, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and wrote on the paper: "I want a carbon rod that is not easy to break like this, can I find it?" ”
Gui Fang and Gui Xiang were quite surprised. "That's a good idea, but it's easy to get dirty on your hands, so it's hard to handle, right?"
Xiao Xia held up the word "okay" again.
Gui Fang said with a smile: "Miss, your method is really good, the commonly used sentences are simply made into posts, and the slaves and maids are ready at any time, and Miss can find them directly if you want them." Wouldn't it save effort? ”
Xiao Xia thought it was a good idea. Immediately nodded and wrote on the paper: "Gui Fang, your idea is very good. ”
looked at the sweet smile on Xiao Xia's face. Both little girls laughed.
Ben heard that he was transferred to serve the new lady, and I heard that the new lady couldn't speak, for fear that he wouldn't understand what she meant, or that the new miss would not get along well. Or you have a bad personality and are feeling uneasy. Well, I didn't expect Miss Xin to be not only easy to get along with, understanding, but also very smart and clever.
The two little girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, so ...... They also have a hope in the future.
After a few exchanges. Several people know each other a lot, and the two little girls know that Xiao Xia doesn't pay too much attention to etiquette, so they don't have to be restrained when there are no outsiders. This is something they have never done since they entered the Liang Mansion.
The etiquette that used to be trained for several hours every day is no longer maintained, and the two of them are relieved and unaccustomed at the same time. But their impression of Xiao Xia is getting better and better, and there are more and more words.
Xiao Xia remembered the pencil in her previous life, and it was easy to write and hold the refill in the middle, why didn't I follow suit?
She immediately told the two of them to find two pieces of softer wood, took a knife and slowly dug out a mark on it, put the small charcoal rod into it, closed the wooden block, and then wrapped it tightly with a cloth, which was a simple pencil.
But this thing is easy to think about and difficult to sit up, and the three of them worked hard all afternoon before they barely made one, but unfortunately the carbon rod is too soft, and it will break with a little force.
Even so, Xiao Xia is still very happy, after all, it is only half a day, and it will always be good to improve it later.
The next morning, Xiao Xia went to greet Mrs. Liang after breakfast, and happened to meet Liang Chenjing and Su Linglong.
As soon as Su Linglong saw Xiao Xia enter the door, he deliberately leaned over to hold Liang Chenjing's hand and looked extremely gentle: "Husband, don't you still want to practice?" Let's go back! ”
Liang Chenjing wanted to get up, saw Xiao Xia come in and sat back, stared at Xiao Xia from beginning to end, and saw that her face was much more ruddy than when she first met, and she changed her clothes and outfits, looking more delicate and beautiful, and more like a young lady.
Liang Chenjing was very satisfied with this, and turned back to Mrs. Liang and said, "Mother, thank you for taking care of Miss Yu." ”
Mrs. Liang smiled: "What Miss Yu?" Now that Natsu is your sister, you can call her your sister. Xiao Xia, come over and give your second brother and sister-in-law a gift. ”
Yu Xiaoxia obediently gave Mrs. Liang a salute first, and then Liang Chenjing and Su Linglong.
Su Linglong was dissatisfied from the moment she entered the door, especially Liang Chenjing was about to leave and had to sit down and talk to her, looking at his eyes, it was clear that he had taken a fancy to this stinky girl, damn it, he had already known that this stinky girl entering the door was a disaster, and he had to find a way to get rid of her.
Liang Chenjing raised his hand to signal her to be exempt: "Yu ...... Sister Xiaoxia, are you still used to it in the house? ”
Xiao Xia nodded, took the homemade crude charcoal from Gui Fang and Gui Xiang next to him, and wrote hastily: "Thank you, second brother!" ”
Liang Chenjing looked at the strangely shaped pencil that could be written without ink, as well as the familiar handwriting, "You ......"
"Husband, aren't you still in a hurry? Look, it's mid-morning, and you haven't gone out yet, let's go! Later, there will be time to talk. ”
Su Linglong urged tightly, and resolutely did not let Liang Chenjing talk to Yu Xiaoxia, there was no way, Liang Chenjing could only get up and leave, and stared at Yu Xiaoxia thoughtfully before leaving.
Yu Xiaoxia's eyes kept following the two, watching them go out, and his heart was stunned.
Mrs. Liang asked Guixiang to hand over the charcoal pen used by Xiao Xia to take a closer look, and was very surprised by it. Gui Xiangzai carefully told Mrs. Liang about the process of making this charcoal pen, and it can be emphasized that this is completely Xiao Xia's idea.
Mrs. Liang tried to use it herself, although she was not used to it, but it was indeed convenient, but she didn't expect this daughter who couldn't speak to be so thoughtful.
She was so happy that she took a charcoal pen and looked closely at a few mothers-in-law and maids who were waiting for her closely, with a rather proud tone, Gu's mother smiled:
"Madam, we all know that you have taken in a smart and clever young lady, this thing is really good, it is better to give it to the craftsman to ponder and polish it, and make it fine. Maybe we can make better and more delicate charcoal, if we can, let's send it to the shop to sell it again, maybe we can make a lot of money! ”
Mrs. Liang nodded happily: "Yes, yes, if this thing sells well, our Xiaoxia will not worry about the dowry in the future." Gu's mother, you can send someone to invite Yu'er back now. Let's just say that I have something important to discuss with him. ”
Yu Xiaoxia's stunned kung fu. Mrs. Liang and a few maids actually sent out the charcoal business with a word, which caught her off guard.
If she was still the same Su Linglong as before, she would definitely be very reluctant to give up this idea. After all, you can make a lot of money. But I can't save my life, what do I want money for? The Liang family treats themselves well, and it is not an exaggeration to give them a charcoal, not to mention that they are also beneficiaries, aren't they?
So. She didn't say anything, thinking in her heart what to say to Liang Chenyu when she saw him later?
Speaking of which. Liang Chenyu has always been his nobleman, he was the one who rescued him from the Li family of the Hou Mansion in Jiangzhou, he was the one who came to the capital to help, and he was the one who made him and Liang Chenjing tie the knot.
It's just that after he entered the Liang Mansion, he rarely saw him again. Also, the huge Liang Mansion and most of the huge industries depend on him to take care of it. It's definitely too busy.
It was almost noon before Liang Chenyu hurried back. When he entered the door, he looked like he was in a hurry: "Mother, are you looking for me?" ”
"Yu'er, are you back? Look at you tired, come, sit down and rest. ”
Liang Chenyu looked like he had just come back from the courtyard gate, there were no outsiders here, and he didn't pay so much attention to it, he picked up the teapot and drank enough, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Mother, I heard that you have something important to look for me?" ”
"Look at your hurry, where did you go in the morning? So tired? ”
"I went to the money village in Fangcheng next to me to take a look, there was a little situation over there, but it has been solved!"
"You, it doesn't matter how much money you make, you have to take care of yourself!"
"Yes, I'm measured, Mother!" Liang Chenyu's eyes swept to the strange woman opposite while speaking, looking red lips and white teeth, quiet and delicate, always looking at himself with a smile.
He thought for a moment: "This is my mother's new sister?" ”
"Yes, yes, you haven't seen it, have you? Her name is Xiao Xia, Yu'er, Xiao Xia is well-behaved and sensible, you want to treat her as a sister, you know? ”
Liang Chenyu smiled: "Of course, mother rest assured." ”
Xiao Xia wrote a few words with charcoal, walked up to Liang Chenyu and saluted, Guixiang held the piece of paper to Xiao Xia's side, as if helping her narrate, and wrote: "Xiao Xia greets the eldest brother." ”
Liang Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is a good idea, mother, this is your idea?" ”
"No, it's Xiao Xia's idea, look at this, what do you think?"
Mrs. Liang handed the charcoal pen to Liang Chenyu to see, and she could explain how to use it, Liang Chenyu was surprised: "It turns out that there is more than one person in the world who writes in this way!" ”
"Oh? Has anyone else used this thing? ”
"I've seen my second brother and sister use it before, but she used an ordinary carbon stick, which was not wrapped in a wooden stick, and was wrapped in a handkerchief when she wrote, which was easy to break, and it was not very convenient to use."
"Linglong? You say Linglong also uses this charcoal? ”
"Yes, she can also draw with charcoal, so she has some talent."
Mrs. Liang had an obviously incredulous expression on her face: "How is it possible?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
"Heh, the second brother and sister are at home all day, when the mother is fine, you can call her over to sit and sit, and by the way, let her draw a portrait for you, to ensure that it is vivid and like a real person."
Mrs. Liang thought for a while: "Listening to you so much, it reminds me of the portrait that Mrs. Su embroidered when she came to propose, it is indeed like a real person." ”
"Yes, that's the handiwork of the second brother and sister."
"Really? I thought I was looking for someone to paint on my behalf.,Okay.,When I'm free in two days, I'll call her to accompany Xiao Xia.,It's good to teach Xiao Xia to read, write, and paint.,Left and right Both of them are idle.,Someone to be a companion is not boring.。 ”
Yu Xiaoxia quietly listened to Mrs. Liang and Liang Chenyu talking, and when she mentioned Su Linglong's previous past, she felt a burst of melancholy in her heart, do you want to get along with her every day? That's really enough for me, and I resolutely don't stay with her.
Xiao Xia wrote a sentence on the paper: "Mother, Xiao Xia just wants to accompany you, Xiao Xia can also paint, and there is no need for the second sister-in-law to teach." ”
After seeing it, Mrs. Liang was surprised: "You can also paint?" ”
Xiao Xia nodded, Mrs. Liang was naturally happy, but Liang Chenyu didn't say anything, there was obvious surprise in his eyes.
I didn't pay attention to it when I came back just now, but after reading it a few times, I felt that the new sister's habitual smile and handwriting were extremely similar to Su Linglong in my impression, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.
Liang Chenyu was silent, quietly staring at Yu Xiaoxia to observe.
Mrs. Liang saw that it was almost lunch time, so she left Liang Chenyu for lunch, Liang Chenyu did not refuse, and took advantage of Mrs. Liang's efforts to prepare lunch, Liang Chenyu said: "Sister, can you paint a portrait for me?" ”
Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment and looked at him inquiringly.
Liang Chenyu smiled with a gentle and humble gentleman: "It's okay to draw a rough one, there is still a little time to leave the meal left and right, why don't you paint now, okay, sister?" ”
Xiao Xia wondered in his heart, why did he suddenly want to paint his own portrait? If you have to draw it now, will he recognize me? Impossible, right? Su Linglong is obviously still in the mansion, and Liang Chenjing didn't recognize me?
"Can't you? Younger sister? ”
Xiao Xia shook his head, thinking in his heart, if he can really recognize me, it means that we are destined, he used to be my nobleman, and this time he may be able to become my nobleman.
I remember that I painted a portrait of him before, so I will draw it again with the previous one and see what he says.
So, she took the pen and paper, sketched the shape on the paper, and then refined it little by little.
As soon as the prototype came out, Gui Fang and Guixiang behind her both showed surprise, they looked at the paper in surprise, and then looked at Liang Chenyu opposite, like! It's so similar! My own lady is so powerful! This was completely unexpected.
Although Liang Chenyu hasn't seen the result yet, he can almost guess a few points by looking at the expressions of the maids.
Xiao Xia didn't spend much time to draw a portrait of Liang Chenyu's facial features, she put down the pen, took the portrait and walked to Liang Chenyu in person and handed it to him.
Liang Chenyu glanced at it, even if he was prepared, he was still extremely surprised, raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Xia's eyes in surprise: "You...... You are ......"
Xiao Xia grinned, she was very happy, Liang Chenyu really recognized it!
Mrs. Liang came in from the side: "Yu'er, Xiao Xia, it's time to eat." ”
Liang Chenyu turned his head in response, then raised his eyes to stare at Xiao Xia, and said in a low voice: "After lunch, I will visit your yard, and then I will talk about it in detail, how about it?" ”
Xiao Xia nodded happily, he really didn't disappoint me, great, I really want to hug him and kiss him hard, he is my nobleman.
Liang Chenyu looked at her expression, and he felt as if he had discovered something amazing and incredible.
He glanced at the portrait, took it wrapped and stuffed it into his sleeve, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Xia. (To be continued.) )
