Chapter 34 Scandal
When Wisteria arrived in the pavilion in the back garden, the whole pavilion was so quiet that people couldn't believe that there were so many people sitting inside.
Wisteria raised her eyes and saw that the eldest lady Xie Rong was sitting there drinking tea. Next to her, a girl wearing a plain makeup gown with a stone blue background lowered her head and fiddled with a jade pendant hanging from her belt. The second lady, Xie Fang, stood by the pillars of the pavilion and looked up at the painting on it. There is also a slightly chubby face wearing a pea-green moire makeup gown, and he is playing with the petals in the blue in front of him with interest.
On the main seat, there was a girl wearing a rose and purple wishful makeup gown, with a light powder on her face, a horse bun, and two red gold combs inlaid with various gemstones, and a fifteen or sixteen girl with red gold thread pendants on her ears, but this girl was not like the low-eyed and pleasing appearance of fiddling with the jade pendant, nor was it like the simple and harmless look of the person who was fiddling with the blue, as if she was born with an unreasonable energy, hanging a pair of eyebrows, and a single phoenix eye swept the wisteria into the pavilion, and her face was full of disdain.
Wisteria stepped forward quickly and saluted the young ladies. Before Sister Fang could speak, Xie Ping stood up from her embroidery stool, walked to Wisteria in a few steps, and looked in a circle.
"You're Sister Fang'er's storyteller."
"Miss Huitang, it's the slave." Wisteria couldn't tell who they were, but it was definitely right to call Miss Tang all the time.
"Okay, stand up and tell us a story," Xie Ping finished and sat back in his place.
At this time, the people in the pavilion all looked at Wisteria, and their expressions were different.
Xie Rong put down the cup and said softly, "It turned out that Miss Ping heard that you could tell a story, so she was curious, so she asked Sister Fang to ask you to tell you a paragraph, and in that case, you can tell a paragraph." ”
"Yes," wisteria heads with countless geese flying by.
"I just don't know what you ladies like to hear?"
"You don't have to think so much, you just continue what you said yesterday, when they get the true scriptures and return to the eastern land." Sister Fang said as she sat back on the stool.
"Sister Fang, this is hospitality? You listen to the antecedents, so that we who have not heard of how to receive it, how do you know what is said before? Xie Fen looked aggressive.
Xie Fang remembered all the things she had done since she entered this pavilion, and thought of what her grandmother had said to herself and her sister that day, so she didn't say angrily,
"Originally, it was also for me and Sister Ping, but I didn't let you listen, if you don't like it, either ask your girl to plug her ears, or go to the garden to dry, so as not to smell musty."
Wisteria almost laughed, and then told the second lady that Zhu Bajie was so idle that it was moldy and had to be sunburned, and she used it here.
"You, you...... Xie Rong, is this how your Guogong Mansion treats guests? Xie Fen said angrily at Xie Rong.
"It's not something that Miss Fen San should know about how our Guogong Mansion treats guests, I only know one thing, if I go to someone else's house to sit with guests, it must be polite to let the guest go with the host."
Xie Ping saw that Xie Rong and Xie Fang were both rushing towards Xie Fen, and the idea of changing the story just now was dispelled.
"Sister Rong is right, my mother taught me when I was a child, when I go to other people's houses to sit as guests, I must abide by and obey the arrangements of the master's family, so that I can appear educated."
Xie Fen stood up suddenly, overturned the embroidered stool she was sitting on, and then walked out of the pavilion in a huff, and her girl and the nurse immediately followed. Xie Rong gave his eyes to his eldest girl Rui Zi, Rui Zi understood, and followed with her skirt.
"Oh, it's finally quiet, who is that, you can talk about it."
The one who, I'm your grandmother. Wisteria said "yes" in his heart, and began to continue yesterday's talk.
Xie Rong always thought that listening to stories was a child's business, so he never went to his sister to listen to them. Today, it is also interesting to listen to Wisteria, Wisteria speaks unhurriedly, the words are correct and round, the tone is very good, and the voice is crisp and crisp is also very good, and it will be attracted to everyone after a while. Not only her, but everyone in the pavilion listened attentively. When they heard that the thousand-year-old turtle was going to throw their master and apprentice into the sea, they all got up.
Shuangqiao stood behind the second lady, while playing a fan, while calculating the time, it has been more than half an hour, why hasn't it had any effect. I was so anxious that I didn't dare to show half a point on my face, and I had to pretend to be very interested.
Wisteria was about to speak when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and she raised her hand and made a gesture of putting her hands on her stomach. Shuangqiao had been paying attention to Wisteria's movements, and when she saw her raise her hands, she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
"Then Sun Wukong followed... Then..."My stomach hurt more and more, I could hear the sound of grunting, and I had a strong urge to go to convenience. Wisteria only felt as if she was being placed in a confined space, and felt that a breath was about to rush out from below, but where did she dare, she held back.
"What happened to Sun Wukong? Did you go back to get the real scriptures? Xie Ping asked anxiously.
"Sun, Sun ......" Before Wisteria finished speaking, the momentum below could no longer be contained, and ran out vividly.
"What sound?"
"What does it smell like?"
Wisteria's face was flushed, and he just wanted to speak, but he felt that the feeling of convenience was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait at all. She hurriedly saluted, turned around, and ran towards the Gongfang in the garden.
Sitting on the gong bucket, Wisteria couldn't bite his tongue. Tell you to be greedy at noon, the glutinous rice cake was given to her by the little girl who sent Zirui yesterday, and there are two pieces left after not eating. In this era, there are no refrigerators, and things can't be stored. But she liked to eat this kind of glutinous thing when she was a child, and when she smelled it, she felt that there was no taste, so she ate it, which is good, and it is so ugly.
Wisteria felt a little more comfortable in her stomach, so she cleaned it up and stood up. I don't know what it looks like in the pavilion, if I lose such a big person, I won't be happy with the second lady's temperament, but I'm afraid that even my sister will have to eat and hang down.
As soon as Wisteria walked to the door, his stomach hurt again, and he turned around and went in again, repeating this three times, and Wisteria felt that this was definitely not a problem with glutinous rice cakes.
The third time she stood up, she simply didn't go outside, there was a small room outside the Gong room, which was usually used for the cleaners to rest or the mother-in-law in the garden to take shelter from the rain or something. Wisteria sat on the small pestle against the wall, and couldn't care about the expression of the second lady, thinking carefully.
"Wisteria, are you in there?" It's Gu Lan's voice.
"I'm here." Wisteria felt the hoarseness of his voice.
Gu Lan walked in, as if she was smoked by the smell here, she just stood at the door and didn't go inside, "Why has it been so long, Sister Shuangqiao asked me to come and see ......"
"Oops, what's wrong with you?" Wisteria's face was pale, and she sat weakly on the small pestle, her back against the wall.
Gu Lan couldn't care so much, and hurriedly walked in, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, maybe I've eaten a bad stomach, good sister, can you pour me a glass of water?"
Gu Lan turned around and took a thick teacup on the table, there was half a cup of water in it, and Wisteria didn't care so much, so she drank it with her hand, and as soon as the water was in her stomach, Wisteria pushed Gu Lan away and ran back.
Wisteria endured the pain in her stomach while wondering what the situation was. Just now, Gu Lan reminded herself that Sister Shuangqiao asked her to come to find her. Where and what did you do in the past? Although Shuangqiao has never given himself a cold face, he can never talk about a pleasant face, let alone this kind of care.
In the flash of light, she remembered the water that Qiu Xiang persuaded herself to drink, and she felt that it didn't taste right at that time, but she didn't care anymore because she was in a hurry to come to the pavilion. It turns out that this is the case, and when you think of the initiator, it is not difficult to guess the reason. Wisteria pressed his hand on his stomach, sneering in his heart, and said that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, this is unbearable. There are only girls in the yard, why did these two sisters-in-law come to target themselves?
After coming out for the fourth time, Xu was left with nothing in his stomach, and Wisteria finally quieted down. returned to the pavilion with Gu Lan's support, and there was no one in the pavilion at this time, only a few little girls were packing up their things.
"Hey~ Where's the ladies?" Gu Lan asked.
"The old lady has a banquet in the garden, and she has gone to dinner." A little girl watched Gu Lan help the wisteria over, cleverly moved a small embroidered stool, and poured a cup of tea for the wisteria.
Wisteria looked at Gu Lan's anxious face, and said, "Sister Gu Lan, go quickly, I'll rest for a while and go back by myself." ”
Gu Lan didn't say anything polite to her, and hurriedly walked out of the pavilion after instructing the little girl a few words.
"What's your name, and where is your errand?" asked Wisteria the little girl. The little girl is wearing the uniform clothes of a girl who has not entered the class, she looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, and she looks smart and well-behaved. A long braid with a red envelope of silk tied on it.
"Back to this sister, my name is Shan Ling, and I work as an errand boy in the big kitchen in the north." Because the Chungkook Mansion is very large and there are many people, the large kitchen is also divided into two, one near the outer courtyard and is called the West Kitchen, and the other is close to the Inner Courtyard and is called the North Kitchen.
Wisteria took out a dozen or so money from his purse and handed it to her, "I want you to go to Graceland, find a sister Zirui, tell her that Wisteria is here, and beg her to send someone to pick it up, and you can use the money to buy candy to eat." ”
"No, no, Sister Zirui, I'll go" Before he finished speaking, he ran away.
Wisteria leaned against the pillar behind her, watching the little girls in front of her continue to clean up, her mind spinning rapidly. With the temper of the second lady, she made her so faceless, and the punishment was certain, but it is estimated that there should be no big problem for the sake of her own discomfort and Zirui's face.
The problem is that this is ancient times, although she is not a daughter, but a girl has such an unspeakable situation in public, and Yan zhòng's may affect her future in-laws, of course, this is not what Wisteria is worried about, because she never thought about finding her in-laws.
What she is worried about now is that for these boudoir women who are bound by feudal etiquette, she has just reassured Mrs. Shizi and is satisfied with her, and she is afraid that her efforts these days will be in vain.
