Chapter 69: Since you're here, let's stick incense
When Chu Feifei arrived at Zhuyuan, it was the time for everyone to take a nap after noon.
Except for a few little girls on duty in Zhuyuan, they were quiet. The two cousins had already drunk the decoction specially prepared by the imperial doctor and rested separately.
Chu Feifei thought about it, so he didn't alarm the two cousins, but went to find the principal of Zhuyuan, Mama Jin.
Speaking of this Mama Jin, there are still some legendary stories in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It is said that when the dynasty was changed, Xia Xiangye was able to maintain his status and official position, and this Jin Mama contributed a lot. The various rumors of that incident at the beginning, some were thrilling, some were bloody, Chu Feifei just listened to the script, and he also exclaimed a few times when he heard the highlights, as for how credible these rumors are, it is really a matter of opinion.
But one thing is certain.
That is, this Mama Jin did come out of the palace, and she once served in front of the nobles, in this Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone the wife, the old lady, even the Prime Minister should be polite when he sees Mama Jin.
However, compared with Mama Jin's mysterious background, Chu Feifei is more concerned about the death of the girls in Mingyuan, and what role Mama Jin played in it.
Everyone said that the few personal girls in Mingyuan were too big, too greedy, and exceeded the rules, so the old lady invited Mama Jin from the palace to rectify the family style.
This is also reasonable, but considering the hearts of the two cousins, it is difficult to say whether this Jin Mama was invited by the old lady or Miss Cousin.
Besides, this Jin Mama is still the upbringing of the two Miss Cousins, and Miss Watch's heart has become like this, and this upbringing is hard to blame, in other words, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the character of this upbringing is not very good.
Because Chu Feifei was not familiar with Zhuyuan, he ordered a little girl who was a janitor to lead the way, the little girl was a rough girl who had just entered the house for a long time, and it seemed that she had not been trained in anything~ Teaching, this way is endless.
Chu Feifei felt a little regretful because he couldn't see the tragic situation of the two young ladies with his own eyes, but now that he has this little girl, he has heard a lot of interesting things that can't be heard outside.
So after pouring an ear of jokes about the two cousins, Chu Feifei felt satisfied.
After a short time, the little girl stopped, pointed to a green shade not far away, and said: "Sister Feifei, Mama Jin's yard is there, I won't go, a few days ago I secretly picked the impatiens in her yard, and I was just punished by Mama." The little girl stuck out her tongue and laughed embarrassedly.
Chu Feifei chuckled, and took out a small bag from her waist bag, which contained sunflower seeds made by the small kitchen itself, which tasted good, every time she went to the small kitchen, the cooks always shouted that she would fill a bag and go back to grind her teeth.
"Take it and eat it, remember that you will be punished for eating snacks when you are on duty." Chu Feifei admonished, watching the little girl jump and leave, and her mood became lighter.
Turning around, he looked at the courtyard hidden in the green trees in the distance, calmed down, and walked over.
Mama Jin's status in the Prime Minister's Mansion is transcendent, and there is a separate small courtyard specially prepared for her in this pearl garden, which is exquisite and quiet, surrounded by flowers and trees, reflecting a courtyard of black and green bricks in the middle, which looks simple and quiet.
When Chu Feifei came to the gate of the small courtyard, the courtyard gate was not closed, and through the open courtyard gate, you could see that there were large ~ pieces of impatiens planted in the middle of the courtyard, with clusters of pink and purple ground, dyeing this quiet courtyard with a touch of vivid color.
Chu Fei said secretly, no wonder the little girl wanted to pick this golden mama's impatiens, it is almost September now, the flowering period of the impatiens has passed, and the impatiens elsewhere have already withered, and the impatiens here can still bloom so prosperously, presumably some special means were used.
After passing through this flower garden, I came to the porch of the main house, and there was a soft bamboo curtain used in summer under the porch, so I couldn't see the situation inside. Chu Feifei lowered his eyes and said politely: "Is Mama Jin here?" Fei Fei was ordered by the old lady to send a statue of Guanyin to the young ladies. ”
After a while, a faint voice came from behind the bamboo curtain: "Take it in." ”
Chu Feifei raised his eyebrows slightly, this Jin Mama really deserves her reputation, others heard that it was the old lady's reward, which one didn't immediately get up to greet her? This Jin Mama is good, she only said a word and took it in.
Chu Feifei held the long box in one hand, opened the bamboo curtain in the other, walked into the porch, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the door of the hall was wide open, and a middle-aged grandmother in green clothes was sitting at the table, looking at something in her hand in a daze.
Seeing Chu Feifei coming in, the old lady put the thing in her sleeve and said lightly: "Let the old lady bother, now the young ladies are all fine, and they will be cured in a few days." ”
It's weird, Chu Feifei secretly said in his heart, as long as Fang Xueqing is still here, the two cousin ladies will not be fine, Xueqing's girl will never let the two cousin ladies relax and go back to calculate her.
Although he was slandered in his heart, Chu Fei still smiled respectfully on his face: "What Mama said is, where do you think I put this box?" ”
Mama Jin looks no more than forty years old, white skin, narrow eyes, when she wants to be young, it is also quite a moving color, although she is no longer young, but it is still charming, but this dress is too plain, and the furnishings in this room are also very simple, not like the style of raising grandma, but like the Qing cultivation in the nunnery.
Mama Jin looked at the long box in Chu Feifei's arms, and sighed softly: "Come with me." ”
After that, he got up slowly, obviously wearing a short gown and a long skirt, a narrow-sleeved green shirt, but there was a kind of hibiscus skirt and the elegance of socks and incense.
Chu Feifei followed behind, and couldn't help but hold his breath, suppressed the restlessness just now, and took out the demeanor of Sister Hongzhi in his body.
Mama Jin stood down in front of a side door, glanced back at Chu Feifei, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "I know how many rules, I heard that you came out of Xinming?" ”
"Exactly." Chu Feifei replied with his eyes down.
Seeing that Chu Feifei didn't have a proud look, Mama Jin was respectful and polite from beginning to end, and couldn't help but nod slightly, it seems that the young master of the Xia family values her, and there is a reason, this girl is not quite the same as an ordinary fox.
Stretching out her hand to open the navy blue curtain, Mama Jin said lightly, "Come in with me." ”
Chu Feifei hurriedly stepped up to follow, only to find that it was actually a small Buddhist hall.
It's just that the incense table is not a Buddha statue, but a tablet.
Chu Feifei was about to look intently, and Mama Jin on the side said lightly: "Since you are here, kowtow to the nobles and put incense on the pillar." ”
