Chapter 8 Hengsheng
Yan'er's steps were light and fast, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to hide her joy.
When Mother Li looked at her, she was stunned, took two steps back, and greeted her in shock and panic: "Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you here." She smiled flatteringly, but the corners of her mouth were a little unnatural.
Yan'er ignored her and walked straight over: "Mother Li, Aunt asked Aunt Zhao to go over, and the old lady sent a message, saying that Aunt Zhao would help Aunt Lin manage kitchen affairs." ”
"Alas, poor our aunt has to take care of the fifth young master and sixth miss again, and she has to take care of that big mess." She stood in front of the door and sighed, speaking loudly.
Aunt Zhao in the house heard Yan'er's voice, her eyes drooped slightly, and she continued to sew the clothes on her hands, but the speed on her hands was much slower, and suddenly the needle pierced her hand, and she hurriedly grabbed her fingers and pinched it.
"Auntie." Bi'e glared outward, angrily wanting to argue with Yan'er, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Aunt Zhao: "Ignore her." ”
"Auntie, in the past, they always invited the second master from you, but now they actually came to the door to make a fuss, there is no lady in this house, and no one in these courtyards is bigger."
"If he wants to be here, no one will leave." Aunt Zhao sighed and shook her head: "If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble, let's lock up the courtyard and live by ourselves, as long as Ya'er and Rourou are safe, the rest will be with them." ”
No matter how these words are full of a bit of frustration, Bi'e was shocked when she heard it, her aunt's mind is no longer on the second master, so what can she do in the future?
"Auntie, the second master was just confused by her for a while, and when he comes back to his senses, he will definitely know what is good about you." She spoke urgently.
The voice of talking outside is getting louder and louder, Yan'er just doesn't enter the door when she stands outside, she shouted: "Let your aunt come out, our aunt is still waiting, the idler is fine, don't delay there, when the old lady and the second master blame it, you can't afford it." ”
"Auntie, listen to it." Bi'e clenched her hands tightly, and looked out of the curtain angrily, this is bullying the door.
"Ignore her, don't hear her." Aunt Zhao snorted lightly, wiped the blood stains on her fingers, and lowered the needle steadily and quickly.
Yan'er shouted outside for a long time and no one came out, and finally raised her hand to lift the curtain, and fell to the wall with a "snap": "Aunt Zhao is really majestic, it seems that I can't please you yet, I have to let the old lady come in person." ”
"Yan'er, what do you call please?" Bi'e sneered: "A maid jumps up and down there, and wants to step on the master's head, you are dreaming." ”
"That's how I asked, what's the matter, can't people dream anymore?" Yan'er chuckled and sneered.
"Okay, don't you invite me, I'll go." Aunt Zhao put down the needlework and thread of the clothes in her hand, and patted her robe lightly: "Bi'e go pick up the cloak and come over, I'll go and see, what Aunt Tong asked me to do." ”
Bi'e turned around and took a white fox brocade cloak and put it on Aunt Zhao, turned around and smiled at Yan'er: "It turned out that Aunt Tong was invited, not Yan'er?" Some said, how can a little maid have such great ability, and she still wants to invite her master to tea. ”
"You." Yan'er's eyes widened, and she was interrupted by Aunt Zhao before she finished speaking.
"Let's go." She spoke, took an oil-paper umbrella and walked out.
Looking at the red plum on the umbrella surface, her eyes were dark again.
Mother Li, who was waiting outside, saw her come out and greeted her with a smile: "Bi'e is really a guest, why is she so rude?" ”
"Rude? Who is rude? Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows and said sharply: "Mother Li also knows rudeness? The master didn't let you speak, why did you say it, you are from my courtyard, I think I can still be punished. ”
"Go and sweep the snow in the yard, and if you can't sweep it today, continue to sweep it tomorrow."
Mother Li was stunned, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, Aunt Zhao, is she attacking her?
Is she that Aunt Zhao? It's not someone else's pretend.
Aunt Zhao walked past her, no one paid attention to her, leaving her alone to stand in the wind and snow.
The cold wind mixed with snow particles slapped her face, and she woke up after an "ouch" sound, and spat in the direction where the backgrounds disappeared: "When you ask me for something, everyone is like a turtle grandson, and when this is done, I pat my ass and don't recognize people." ”
"A little aunt who was born as a slave, her face is ruined, she has fallen out of favor, what is so good, I haven't swept this snow, I don't believe what you can do to me." She kicked it quickly, and after stepping on the skate, she fell on the skate with an "ouch".
The little maid who passed by the eaves snickered, and quickly avoided her and walked to the other side.
Mother Li got up slowly, holding her old waist with one hand, and did not forget to scold in her mouth.
There is not much difference between the courtyard system of Bitong Temple and Fukiyuki-in, but it is slightly larger than Fukiyuki-in. The grass and trees in the courtyard have been cleaned up, and although it is a harsh winter, the thriving scenery is completely different from the cold silence of the blowing snow courtyard.
Several pots of camellia were in full bloom, and they were treated like a baby by Aunt Zhao, and Bai Chang'e Cai was placed aside at will.
She glanced at the corner of her eye, and her mind was extremely complicated.
An old mother in a big coat walked over to them with a green oil paper umbrella and saluted Aunt Zhao: "I invite you to come over on such a cold day, I'm tired, it's really my aunt she has to take care of the fifth young master, and the sixth lady can't get out, so she asks the old lady to resign, and the old lady doesn't accept it, so she has to drag you down." ”
Aunt Zhao pulled her lips at her: "Mother Lao is polite." ”
Mother Lao, who is the housekeeper of Bitong Courtyard, is more humble and polite than Yan'er inside and out, but no one dares to underestimate her.
The moment Bi'e behind Aunt Zhao saw her, her nerves tensed, and she didn't dare to slack off.
Yan'er is also much more polite.
"This way, please." Lao's mother personally welcomed them in, and her speech and demeanor made it impossible to find the slightest difference.
Aunt Zhao nodded slightly at her, and one person followed her into the inner room, while Bi'e stayed outside.
Aunt Tong was sitting on the edge of the bed teasing the little baby in her arms.
"Fifth Young Master, you will grow up quickly."
"Ouch, what are these big eyes looking at? In the future, you will follow your father, do a good job, and earn a life for your mother. She said with a smile as if no one was around, and hung Aunt Zhao and the others for a long time before she turned around and suddenly said: "Aunt Zhao, I didn't expect you to come so soon, I didn't see you just now, I'm really embarrassed, I have all my thoughts on the fifth young master and the sixth miss, presumably sister, you also know that children are the most abrasive at this time." ”
As soon as she raised her hand, the nurse beside her took the baby knowingly and held it carefully in her arms.
The child's big black and white eyes were clear and innocent, and he seemed to be stunned, and he seemed to turn a few times, and he was clever, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his smile was as innocent as white.
Aunt Zhao's eyes unconsciously followed the little figure, and she praised from the bottom of her heart: "The fifth young master is so cute." ”
"Really?" Aunt Tong glanced at her, saw that she was not hit, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, waved her hand, and the nurse willingly hugged the villain in her arms.
"Nature." She smiled, the sunken scar on her forehead was exposed, and her delicate face was no longer what it used to be, but Aunt Tong felt that she was even more annoying than before.
"The old lady said, let you help me deal with the affairs of the kitchen in the future, let you do what I tell you to do, and I hope you don't make any mistakes." Aunt Tong sat on the edge of the bed and got up, walked to the window, picked up the scissors, and cut the red peony with a "click".
"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." Aunt Zhao excused herself unhurriedly.
"Really?" Aunt Tong picked up the peony flower, walked to her side, and pinned the flower to her ear: "Sister, you are really more beautiful than the flower." ”
"Sister, you shouldn't forget it, I have to ask the old lady for another person."
Aunt Zhao looked back at her, she couldn't believe that Aunt Tong would talk so well and let her go so easily.
"It's just sister, who do you think I should please the old lady?"
Aunt Zhao lowered her head and took off the peony flower, and said with a smile: "Sister, whoever you want to ask for is your freedom." ”
"Yes." Aunt Tong swept her eyebrows with her little finger, her mouth was close to Aunt Zhao's ear, and she asked with a light smile: "Sister, you say, should I please the eldest lady, the second miss, or the third miss." ”
"You" Aunt Zhao glared at her angrily.
"Yes, it's me, I believe that the old lady will definitely be willing to give a chance to let a few young ladies have more experience, especially the eldest lady should also reach the age of slowly picking people."
The wind and the sound of people in her ears were cold, and Aunt Zhao took a step back: "What do you want?" ”
"Sister, you know." Aunt Tong smiled, looked at her proudly, took the peony in her hand, sniffed it lightly, raised her hand and threw it at the slag bucket: "Alas, once this flower falls off the branch, it will be a residual flower if it hurts its appearance." ”
Now, she has no choice, she knows that it is a trap, she has to jump down, if it is not her, it will be her daughter.
Aunt Zhao resolutely said: "I know, I will definitely assist you well." ”
"That's right." Aunt Tong smiled, raised her foot and stepped on the peony flower: "Sister, please go back." ”
Aunt Zhao nodded, sighed lightly and walked out of the room, and as soon as Bi'e saw her, she greeted her: "Auntie, I didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
"Let's go." Aunt Zhao didn't say much, picked up the paper umbrella with one hand and walked outside quickly.
The snow in the sky was still blowing and sprinkling without stopping for a moment, and she walked more steadily than when she came.
After Shen Qinrou heard that she was invited by Aunt Tong, she only ordered someone to cook tea, but she didn't catch up.
Momoko looked at her and asked puzzledly, "Miss, don't you care about your aunt?" ”
"Tube? A lifetime is still a lifetime, and her path will eventually need to be walked by herself, and no one can replace her. "Repeatedly intervened but didn't see it good, after all, every decision, every step still needs to move forward by herself.
If you manage a time, you can't manage a lifetime, and if you solve the siege of a moment, you can't solve the danger of a lifetime.
The best way is to let her stumble out step by step, which is the only way she can think of.
Momoko scratched her head, she didn't understand much, but as long as she did what Miss wanted, she smiled and responded "Alas".
When Aunt Zhao returned to the courtyard, Shen Qinrou had been waiting for a while, and she handed over a bowl of hot tea: "Auntie, it's really cold outside, drink hot tea to warm up." ”
Aunt Zhao stroked her head, took a sip from the tea bowl.
**The ginger flavor went down the throat, the mouth was still spicy, but the whole chest was extremely warm, and after a cup of tea, the two of them entered the house with an umbrella together.
Aunt Tong of Bitong Courtyard cut the pot of peonies on the windowsill wildly, and only stopped when only empty branches were left, and threw the scissors in her hand out.
"Mother Lao, you say, why is she, shouldn't she kneel in front of me and beg for mercy now?"
"Just because she is the servant of the Jiang family, the second master takes care of her in every way, and if there is anything good, I think of her, but I have to grovel, bow down and be low, and do my best to earn that little bit of pity and love. Now that the second master doesn't favor her, her face is ruined, what else does she have to be proud of, shouldn't she be ashamed of herself and never shut up. ”
"Jiang, Jiang! What's so good about her, hum, haha, you're still dead, you deserve to die, you dare to humiliate me, it's innocent to die, don't worry, I will take good care of the people you stay. ”
"Your son-in-law, your daughter, all you have."
"Jiang? Look at how pitiful you are, after many years, you can't even get your own surname, you can only have the surname Jiang, haha. ”
Aunt Tong was hysterical and roared like a wild beast.
Mother Lao hugged her tightly and said distressedly: "Miss, don't be like this, don't be angry with yourself, she is innocent of death, they should all be buried for the Ruan family." ”
"Over the years, Miss Jean has been wronged, and she blames the old slave for being useless, and she is ashamed of the spirit of the old lady in the sky."
"Nurse." Aunt Tong leaned on her shoulder and cried.
