Chapter 12: Butterflies
Midnight.
With a muffled thunder, Du Yunluo was startled and opened her eyes.
The sound of spring rain catches your ears.
Jinrui, who was keeping vigil, also woke up, put on her coat and shoes neatly, and closed the slightly open window.
Du Yunluo poked her head out of the curtain and asked, "What time is it?" ”
When Jin Rui heard the sound, she hurried over and said with a smile: "Girl, the slave maid also got up to close the window when it rained, and now she is still confused and doesn't know the time, but I just saw that the lights were still on in the west room, and I guess it has not yet reached the fourth watch." ”
One of the rooms is for Jinrui and Jinling.
"That's too late, Ming'er remembered to tell Jin Ling to rest early, so that he didn't have to burn his body." Du Yunluo is old and knows that it is not easy to maintain health, and she can't see the people under her day and night.
"The girl is a careful person, so she is so considerate of Jinling." Jin Rui pulled her long hair, lowered her eyes and smiled, "The slave will tell her." ”
Du Yunluo bowed her head and lay back on Jinrui's hand: "I know that her family is in difficulty, and she helps the house to do some needlework to subsidize the family on weekdays, but nothing matters to her body, her younger brother is sick, her mother's eyes are not good, and even Jinling is broken, isn't her life even more unreliable?" If I make up for her money openly and secretly, and don't say that she is angry and refuses to take more, I am also worried that others will gossip about her. ”
Jin Rui's hand moved, in the night, she couldn't see her look, she tucked the corner of the quilt for Du Yunluo, and said in a low voice: "The girl wants to reward and punish whom, and who will gossip." ”
Du Yunluo chuckled lowly.
Jin Rui only felt that the laughter was very meaningful, and her heart suddenly jumped twice, she and Jin Ling were secretly competing, did she already let the girl see it?
Jin Rui didn't dare to ask, so she bit her lip and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, the girl sent Shen's mother to Qinghui Garden to deliver things at night, and Shen's mother came back and told the slave maid that Mrs. Shuiyue was putting on the scent dress, and the slave was thinking, and the wife was afraid that she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." ”
Du Yunluo blinked.
It has been two days since Mrs. Shi passed the house, and Zhen's health is almost better, and Du Yunluo is also guessing when Zhen will go to Lianfuyuan.
After hearing Jinrui's words, it seems that Zhen plans to go to Mrs. Xia tomorrow to ask for peace.
Du Yunluo counted a few days, there were still four days before the county lord of An Ran's ceremony, and he had to stabilize the Zhen family and Mrs. Xia, and not let them make a hammer deal.
"Mother goes to Lianfu Yuan, and I can't get up late. I'm resting, you can sleep too. Du Yunluo said.
Jin Rui answered, straightened the curtain, and withdrew.
Du Yunluo turned over, thinking about what to do tomorrow, but tiredness hit, her mind was chaotic, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, Jinrui came to call Du Yunluo.
Du Yunluo didn't rub in, sat in front of the dresser after cleaning her face, and Jin Rui took a cow bone comb to carefully straighten her long hair.
"Girl, how about a double bun? Don't look at the rain that has fallen overnight, it will be sunny soon, and when the sun comes out, the buns will be cooler. Jin Rui asked softly.
Du Yunluo didn't pay attention to these, and said, "What you say is what it is." ”
Jin Rui smiled and bent her eyes, and when she saw Jin Ling coming in, she said, "Take the basin out." Is breakfast ready in the outer room? ”
Jin Ling saluted Du Yunluo: "Breakfast has been delivered, the girl can use it after combing her hair." ”
The two maids each did their own work, Jin Rui was skillful, and soon combed the double bun, and picked out a pair of butterfly hairpins from the jewelry box, and compared them on Du Yunluo's bun, and then inserted them.
"Jin Ling, is the girl so good-looking?" Jinrui held the mirror and asked.
Jin Ling turned his head and said, "The girl is naturally beautiful, how can she not be good-looking." ”
Jin Rui giggled: "Your mouth is so sweet, let the girl reward you with a piece of candy." ”
Du Yunluo saw it in her eyes, her eyes rolled, and she somewhat understood that this was Jinrui's response to what she said last night.
Jinrui was anxious to show loyalty and gesture, but she forgot that the more cautious she was, the more deliberate she was.
Du Yunluo didn't break it, got up and went to the east room for breakfast.
The Western clock ticks away.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, Du Yunluo went to Lianfuyuan, but the road was slippery after the rain, and she was careful not to go fast.
By the time I arrived, it was already late.
Mrs. Xia came forward and gathered a few daughters-in-law and granddaughters to talk, and Du Yunluo went in with a smile and greeted them one by one.
The second wife, Miao, beckoned to her: "Wearing a butterfly on her head, people are also like butterflies." ”
Du Yunying picked the walnut flesh with a silver skewer inlaid with beads in her hand, looked up at her when she heard this, and smiled: "It's not just a flower butterfly, it looks the best and comes the latest." ”
This made Du Yunying say it half-disgusted and half-joking, which made everyone laugh.
Du Yunluo approached Du Yunying, pinched a piece of walnut flesh and put it in her mouth: "I am a butterfly, and my sister is a diligent bee." ”
"To die!" Du Yunying put down the silver stick and patted Du Yunluo's hand: "This is all for Ya'er." ”
The bud is the thrush raised by Du Gongfu.
Du Yunluo didn't see the cage under the eaves when she came in, thinking that she had gone to the study with Du Gongfu.
"Only one grain will keep my grandfather from getting angry." Du Yunluo said.
"Just pick it after eating," Mrs. Xia smiled and asked Du Yunluo to sit down beside her, "It's just some walnuts." ”
Du Yunying smiled but said nothing.
Miao replied with two sentences, and his heart was angry.
is also the granddaughter of her in-laws, and Mrs. Xia is really biased.
Miao's own haven't eaten Du Yunying's picked walnut kernels a few times, it's not that her daughter is lazy, but this kind of thing, Miao is reluctant to let Du Yunying do it, there are so many maids underneath, which one can't do this?
When she arrived at Lianfu Garden, Du Yunying wanted to curry favor with Du Gongfu and removed walnuts for a bird to eat.
That's it, it's all about entertaining relatives, but as soon as Du Yunluo came, Mrs. Xia burst out of her mouth, as if Du Yunying was born to be a maid.
Miao's anger was angry, but he couldn't show it on his face, but he just glanced deeply at Zhen, who was talking to Du Yunru.
Du Yunnuo saw all this in his eyes, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, everyone was laughing just now, and her expression was not abrupt at all.
There are still four days, and when she reveals the meaning of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the county lord of An Ran, the drama in this Lotus Fuyuan will definitely be more and more exciting.
Du Yunnuo raised his newly dyed cardamom little finger slightly, and shook it at Du Yunluo, but his eyes were not glancing at Zhen.
She will not let the Zhen family persuade Mrs. Xia, if the marriage between Du Yunluo and Mu Lianxiao is blown up, how can she go to the county lord of Anran to sell it?
Regarding the Miao family and Du Yunnuo's scrutiny, Zhen's heart was transparent, but he didn't know anything at all, and only suppressed his voice to talk to Du Yunru about the matter.
She came today for Du Yunluo's matter, but after all, it was a private matter, and she didn't have the reason to talk about it in front of so many people.
Besides, if you do, you don't know what you're going to look like when you're being pointed at behind your back.
These people are all favored by Yunluonan, and their eyes are red.
