Chapter Seventy-Five: Telling Stories on a Rainy Day
Ciyue came today and sent a basket of fresh wild vegetables, Youwei saw that she was a little familiar, Wan Niang took it, and said to Ciyue with a smile: "There is little Master Lao, this wild vegetable is really fresh and tender, just picked from the mountain, right?" ”
Ciyue replied with a smile: "It's not, the little lady borrowed my book to read, I have to repay something, I pick the most tender buds on the top of these wild vegetables, you see, the dew is still on the leaves!" ”
Wan Niang took it and said to Youwei: "Little lady, look at these chrysanthemums, they look like this, they were in the house before, and they ate and drank well. I can't see these freshly picked up! ”
Youwei looked at the basket that Wan Niang was carrying, it was tender and green, and there were some morning dewdrops, it was really fresh, she thought about it and said: "The weather has been very hot recently, make chrysanthemum Lao egg soup at noon, chrysanthemum Lao is scalded in boiling water, put in the beaten eggs, it is very relieving the heat." ”
Wan Niang nodded yes, and sent the wild vegetables to the kitchen. Ciyue also said goodbye and left.
Yi Yue took the pattern embroidered by Youwei and said: "The little lady's embroidery is becoming more and more exquisite, and even I, the master, will be ashamed of myself." ”
"You just have to lie to me." Youwei smiled and took out the two handkerchiefs in Yiyue's hand: "Look at the hibiscus embroidered by you, the top of the petals is bright red, somehow it can transition to pink, the stitches are very dense and orderly, I am only neatly placed now, if you consider the color, I can't embroider it anymore, I am really ashamed of myself!" ”
Baoyue is a solid eye, sitting on the edge of Youwei's footsteps, she leaned over to look at the two handkerchiefs on Youwei's lap, and nodded: "The little lady's embroidery is indeed not as good as Yiyue." ”
Yi Yue's face was very happy, but she hugged Yue with disgust: "How long has the little lady been practicing?" It's not easy to embroider this pattern, but you, you'd rather fetch water and fire than spend some effort on these, what should you do if you get married in the future? ”
Hug Yueman doesn't care: "I'm following the little lady, the little lady is married, I will be a dowry maid, as long as the little lady doesn't dislike me and can't needlework, what else do I have to worry about?" ”
Yiyue glanced at Youwei carefully, Youwei's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled and said, "What do you say in front of the master, you or mine, there are no rules at all!" ”
Before Baoyue could speak, Youwei stopped first: "It's outside now, it's better to be careful when you go back to the house in the future, don't catch someone to find something to say." ”
When Wan Niang came back, she saw that Baoyue made a grimace at Yiyue, and couldn't help laughing: "This girl! There's no water in the kitchen, you go get some. ”
When it was almost dusk, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate, it was the sound of moving firewood and grass, Wan Niang took out fifty wen from the small cabinet and went out, Youwei knew that Wang Duofu sent firewood, she didn't have the heart to see it, she was still crooked on the couch to read the illustrations in the book, suddenly heard the wind outside, Wan Niang's voice also came: "Yo, the sky has changed?!" The wind is quite strong, and the rain in the mountains is particularly heavy, why don't you sit here? Wait for the rain to stop before leaving? “
Yiyue walked out and looked at the sky outside, as if she had made up her mind, she walked to Youwei and blessed herself: "Little lady, it is cloudy outside, I am afraid that there will be heavy rain, please let the little lady stay here to rest Brother Xiaofu, and then tell him to leave after the rain stops?" “
Youwei glanced at Yiyue: "You are very kind-hearted. “
Yiyue lowered her head: "The slave also knows that this is arrogance, but Qiaoyun and the slave are sisters, and I also treat Brother Xiaofu as my own brother, just to keep Brother Xiaofu for a while, by the way, Brother Xiaofu has a lot of stories, isn't the little lady the one who loves to listen to stories?" He's here and has a lot to tell. “
As soon as Youwei heard her say that Youwei loved to listen to stories before, she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say or not, for fear of being suspected by Yiyue, so she could only say slowly: "Leave a man here......"
Yi Yue only hesitated when she said with a smile: "What's the matter, we are all in the same room, no matter how much gossip is spread, no one will believe such brainless gossip." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of rain outside suddenly sounded, and the air was filled with the smell of wet mud and dust, Youwei smiled helplessly: "Even if I don't want to stay, God wants to stay!" ”
Yi Yue also praised: "God, this is the kindness of the little lady!" Slave go and let Brother Xiao Fu tidy up his appearance and come in to tell you a story. ”
Youwei smiled bitterly, this is simply a charity deed, right? In fact, she doesn't hate Brother Xiaofu either, but she doesn't like Yiyue who is so soft on the surface and actually always makes decisions for her, she doesn't know how Youwei got along with her before, seeing that Yiyue is always very natural when she makes decisions, she doesn't know the original way of getting along with each other, it's best not to act rashly. Youwei also asked Wanniang, Wanniang said that Yiyue has a lot of ideas since she was a child, and Mrs. and Mrs. Lan will always appreciate the things she does, such as Youwei didn't love female red before, and it was also Yiyue's hard work until she finally persuaded Youwei to awaken women's consciousness, Mrs. appreciated Yiyue very much, and when she returned home after a year, Yiyue was the first-class maid in Youwei's house, so Yiyue was more dedicated, and it was understandable.
Youwei nodded, I wonder if Mrs. Lan might have promised Yiyue something?
After a while, Yiyue brought Wang Duofu to visit, Wang Duofu seemed to be unwilling to kneel and bow smaller than herself, still standing and saluting, Youwei didn't like someone to bow to her, someone bowed, she just didn't have to be so awkward, and said to Yiyue: "Give a seat." Then he said to Wan Niang: "Wan Niang, you go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of chrysanthemum soup, Brother Xiaofu walked such a long way with firewood on his back, and he needed cool and thirst-quenching soup the most." ”
Wan Niang nodded, and Baoyue was already sitting on Youwei's footsteps, waiting for Wang Duofu to tell a story with her hands on her cheeks.
After Wang Duofu sat down, he looked at the ground at his feet, and asked Youwei respectfully: "Thank you little lady for staying here to hide from the rain, although the little one has a little story, but I don't know what stories the little lady likes to hear?" ”
Youwei looked at Wang Duofu's hairburns, which were very neat, and when she saw her for the first time, her hair still fell a few at random, she replied: "No matter what the story is, what did you play when you were young?" ”
Wang Duofu replied: "The countryside is a lot of soil, small and small playmates, like to dig some soil, mixed with some water to become mud balls, let's go back to the yard, there is usually a paved stone slab, we take the mud balls to smash the floor, the mud balls smashed on the stone slabs, the bigger the flattening, then who wins." ”
Youwei smiled and said, "This is a comparison of strength." ”
Wang Duofu said that he was familiar with it, and he gushed a little: "Not only strength, the stickiness of the mud, the quality, and the ingenuity, brute force alone is not enough, there are many situations, you have to rely on your own groping......"
Yi Yue immediately spoke: "Stop, can the little lady still need you to teach how to play with mud?" Change the story! ”
