Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ying Mengyi
Bursts of autumn rain bring a point of cold, this year's autumn is particularly cold, and the small jacket that was worn in the past in winter is put on the body in late autumn.
Liu Lu entered the house from outside the door and couldn't help but shudder, "Really, what the hell is the weather." With a grumbling voice, she rubbed her red hands and went inside.
When Xi'er saw someone coming, she bumped and jumped over, "Sister Liulu, have you got the charcoal?" ”
Liu Lu looked at her little face full of hope, and shook her head slowly.
"Nope." A breath of cold air condensed into mist with her open mouth.
This answer made Xi'er pout in some disappointment, and muttered: "How can I spend this autumn without charcoal." ”
Xi'er refers not only to the silver frost charcoal used for heating, but also to the daily use of firewood to burn charcoal.
You can go to the big kitchen to get the food in the courtyard, but the hot water for each courtyard has to be boiled by yourself.
For a woman living in a courtyard where there is no hot water, it is even stricter than less food, especially Wen Yu can give them food smuggling, but it is a bit too difficult for her to smuggle wood and hot water......
Que'er also made a rare sigh, "When will this day be the end." ”
If it weren't for Mrs. Shen's other drastic actions, she would have almost suspected that Mrs. Shen was not going to let the people in their courtyard live.
What makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they have a deeper understanding.
Thinking of her hair, which she hadn't washed for four days, Magpie was a little irritated and crushed the ground with her toes.
"Miss, if you smell it, I'm going to stink." Xi'er approached Shen Qinrou with an unhappy face, stretched out a sleeve and handed it to Shen Qinrou.
Liu Lu scolded her with a smile, "It's not big or small." Carrying her collar and taking it out, Xi'er moved her neck but didn't break free of Liulu's hand, and hurriedly turned around and said pitifully: "Miss, you really have to think of a way, I can't eat anything for the past two days." ”
Que'er, who was not in a good mood, poked her mercilessly, "Spit out the two plates of sesame cakes you just ate first." ”
Xi'er laughed twice, and a few ground sesame seeds were still stuck to her teeth, and she took a sip and stopped talking.
After Liu Lu finished carrying Xi'er, she walked over slowly, she sighed and said, "I really have to think of a way." ”
She didn't say who she wanted, but the corner of her eye unconsciously fell on Shen Qinrou.
Unconsciously, Shen Qinrou seemed to have become the backbone of this small courtyard.
"Yes."
Shen Qinrou received Liu Lu's distress message and nodded.
Xi'er jumped up happily, her eyes lit up, "Miss, are you serious?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Qinrou nodded, pointed to the furniture in the house and said, "These are all firewood." ”
Willow almost choked to death.
O young lady, these furniture are used as firewood......
Xi'er knocked on her hands and suddenly realized, "Good way." ”
Que'er saved the strength to roll her eyes, and wrapped her hands in white silk to hold Xi'er's collar.
"Let me go." Xi'er is a little angry, she has been mentioned twice today, and she is not a teapot!
Que'er didn't care about her at all, she still went her own way and walked out with her collar, Xi'er struggled hard, which made Que'er, who was not in a very beautiful mood, even more annoyed, only to see her leaning over in front of Xi'er's ear and saying something softly, Xi'er immediately turned into an honest quail and let her drag her away.
Liu Lu shook his head when he saw it, and only sighed that the mouse met the cat, and one thing fell into one thing.
The furniture in the room naturally can't be used as firewood, and the people who can give them firewood deliberately make things difficult for them, and the others are unwilling to be accommodating.
How else could it be?
Although Shen Qinrou is the young lady of the Shen family, she believes that her weight is not heavier than the big maids around Mrs. Shen, and those big maids can be executed without hesitation if they commit a crime, and even make them worse than dead, Mrs. Shen may not use the same method to deal with those maids to deal with her, but she can definitely make her not good.
Of course, if Mrs. Shen really endangers their life and death, she will not be restrained, she has never been such a well-behaved child, there is a faint rebellious force in her bones, but she is usually docile and weak, and she is not seen.
"Miss, there's really no way?" Liu Lu asked, holding on to the last shred of anticipation.
Although there is no firewood will not die, but that day is definitely not good, the cold weather, thinking of the cold water that she touched before, Liu Lu couldn't help but shiver, and at the same time she laughed at herself, sighing that she was really spoiled by the young lady, and she had a lot of days when she touched cold water in the past.
While she was thinking wildly, Shen Qinrou said loudly: "Yes." ”
"Huh?" Liu Lu was stunned and responded.
"Yes." Shen Qinrou nodded again and said, "But for some reasons, I don't want to change, and I bear with it." Seeing Liu Lu's disappointed little face, she added at the end, "Soon, soon." ”
Although she was a little disappointed, Liu Lu didn't complain about anything, she felt that she was not qualified to complain about anything, thinking of the maids in other courtyards who lived brightly on the surface, but were called and drunk behind their backs, she was more willing to be a maid in this small courtyard.
With Shen Qinrou's two words of explanation, she suddenly felt that the air around her was warmer.
Shen Qinrou said very quickly, naturally very quickly.
It had only been a quarter of an hour before they had spoken, and the Blowing Snow Courtyard had a visitor, perhaps not a guest.
Shen Qinxin is here.
Everyone was a little stunned in the face of Shen Qinxin, who had come to visit, and they didn't understand why she suddenly thought of coming to the courtyard.
When Shen Qinrou saw the coming, her face under the veil immediately turned blue, and her figure shook slightly.
Shen Qinrouxin was wearing a pink peony pattern brocade robe, her heart-shaped face was full of smiles, and she walked towards Shen Qinrou step by step with a pair of cotton-patterned platform shoes.
"I heard that my sister is short of firewood, so I specially asked someone to send some over." She said with a smile, her face flushed with a hint of powder.
Shen Qin was stunned, lifted the curtain and looked out, and really saw a few mothers-in-law standing outside with firewood and other things waiting for orders, she hurriedly pulled out a smile, "Let the second sister bother." ”
"My sister is polite."
Liu Lu stood aside, and Qi Qi turned his inquiring gaze to Shen Qinrou, his hands tightly clasped in his sleeves.
The Blowing Snow Courtyard needs firewood and charcoal, but whether to accept it or not depends on Shen Qinrou's attitude.
The weather was really cold, and Shen Qinrou nodded slightly when she saw the hair of the maid in the courtyard who was about to tie her knot.
Liu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to settle with the mother-in-law who sent firewood.
Shen Qinrou invited people into the room to sit, and only asked people to bring out a plate of snacks, but did not serve hot tea.
Shen Qinxin naturally knew what the reason was, and she didn't urge tea, but only laughed and chatted a few words of gossip on the side.
Shen Qinrou didn't answer her words, she said a few words that she felt bored, and went straight to the point.
"I heard that the plum blossoms in Lingyin Temple are blooming."
Shen Qinrou still didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.
Shen Qin secretly hated her for being a little unreasonable, but it was not good to force her to force her, so he gritted his teeth and continued: "Sister Zhou invited us to go to Lingyin Temple to enjoy the flowers. ”
Shen Qinrou asked, "How many sisters are we going?" ”
Shen Qinxin shook his head, "That's not true, the sister of the Zhou family only invited me alone." ”
Shen Qinrou cast a surprised gaze, and Shen Qinxin explained: "I thought that the third sister also likes plum blossoms, so I wanted to invite you to go with me." ”
Shen Qin's soft heart is as bright as a clear, she knows that Shen Qinxin didn't really invite her to go with her because she likes plum blossoms, for some reason, her mood is very heavy as if she pressed a big stone, because she shook her head and didn't want to think about it, she directly rejected Shen Qinxin, "Forget it, it's not convenient to go out in the cold." ”
This time it was Shen Qin's turn to be surprised, she originally thought that Shen Qinrou should happily agree to her, but she knew that Shen Qinrou had been stuffed in the house for a while and couldn't go out, how could she let go of this kind of good opportunity for no reason.
Why is it inconvenient to go out in the cold, she feels that it is an excuse, and her heart is suddenly a little unhappy, and her face is a little light, but when she thinks of the sisters in the house, she feels that there is no better candidate except Shen Qinrou, so she endured it for a while, and then invited patiently: "What are you afraid of in the cold, the plum blossoms that the third sister likes are opened by Ling Han alone, and besides, we will have a stove with a stove all the way in the car, and it will not freeze people." ”
Shen Qinrou smiled undeniably, "I don't have any charcoal stoves in my courtyard to go out, even if I use a heater when I go out, don't I feel even colder when I come back to the cold room." ”
"What's this, if there is a shortage of firewood and charcoal, I will have someone send it to you."
Shen Qinrou smiled, "It's never the case that I go to my second sister every day to get firewood and charcoal. ”
Shen Qinxin's eyes narrowed slightly, seeing that Shen Qinrou did not leave Chai He bamboo charcoal in three or two sentences, while thinking that there were no other candidates in the house, she didn't have to go to the Blowing Snow Courtyard to talk nonsense with Shen Qinrou, and her thoughts drifted to the person she was about to meet, her face flushed, and she bit her teeth lightly, as if she had made up her mind, "Third sister, don't worry, as long as you go out with me tomorrow, I promise that there will be no less firewood and charcoal in your courtyard in the future." ”
Shen Qinrou looked at her and asked, "Second sister, is this true?" ”
Shen Qinxin made a decision, "Seriously." ”
Shen Qinrou showed a happy look on her face, but her heart became heavier and heavier, and she could only wait until tomorrow to see what happened.
