Chapter Ninety-Two: On the Nine-Curved Bridge
Thank you for catching insects in Sunshine Kiss 1012, I also think it's awkward to call the second wife, although it has been explained in the first chapter, but if the Jin Zhengjia comes out, it will be more troublesome, from now on, the second wife will be changed to Mrs. Song, and the previous ones will be changed one after another.
One by one
Yesterday, Mrs. Jin stayed in Liu Yuer's house, and it was not until the middle of the year that the Jin Lu family sent a small servant back, saying that the old lady came back after dinner.
Since the old master didn't go back to the house for lunch, and the housekeeper Jin Lu's family was not there, the people in Chunhui Hall relaxed, and a few little girls who came from Jiangsu took advantage of no one's attention and sneaked out to the Jiuqu Stone Bridge on the lotus pond to watch the fish.
Although the West Mansion is not as magnificent as the East Mansion and occupies a lot less area, this garden is trimmed according to the style of the Suzhou Garden, and the rockery cave is unique, and the grass and trees have a unique charm.
The lotus pond is located in the center of the whole garden, Moliuju, Wanghe Garden and Tingfeng Pavilion are all built by the water, among which the Wanghe Garden where Jin Yuan and Jin Yu live has the best scenery.
The nine-curved stone bridge where these girls stood was not in the middle of the lotus pond, but connected to a Fu canal. The oldest of the girls is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is only twelve years old, and they are all coming to the capital for the first time, and they speak Wu Nong's soft language. Although the Jin family is from Jiangsu, there are not many people in this house who can speak Jiangsu, so they rarely have contact with people on weekdays, but they listen to dispatches in Chunhui Hall.
Today, I knew that the old lady would come back in the evening, so I took the big girl Begonia to the garden for a walk. They are all from the old lady's house, and even if they are bumped into by the housekeeper, they will not reprimand them.
Haitang couldn't resist them, and he wanted to come out to see it, so he took them out. But she also knows the rules, so she won't go around in a big way, and when she sees that this place is quiet, she will play here for a while.
The green waves under the bridge are rippling, the red and golden koi are swimming around in the water, and they are not afraid of people, and they poke their heads out to eat.
At this time, from the other end of the Jiuqu stone bridge came a maid, wearing a green armor, clear eyebrows, begonia looked familiar, when she got closer, she saw clearly that this was the fifth lady's maid Xingyu.
When I was in the old house in Jiangsu, Begonia and Xingyu knew each other, but Begonia was a second-class maid next to the old lady, delicate and expensive, Xingyu just followed the fifth lady from the capital, the fifth miss was not favored, she was also inferior, and often with the master, was rectified by the fourth wife Jiao.
Once it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the maids in the house had a night of leisure, some followed Lao Tzu Niang home to reunite, and some got together to play small cards, Begonia has long been out of her mother's house, and she also loves to play cards, took moon cakes to the garden to admire the moon, and saw Xingyu wiping her tears alone behind a tree, and asked to know that it was Miss Five who was too sick to do so, and she went to ask Mrs. Four to find a doctor to show Miss Five, but Mrs. Four deduced that it was unlucky to find a doctor for the festival, and she would talk about it after the festival.
Haitang is soft-hearted, the fifth lady is still young, and there is no father and mother to take care of, and no one is distressed when she is sick like this, so she led Xingyu to secretly find the housekeeper in the house, and asked Xingyu to take the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor to the shop on the next street to grab the medicine first, and give the fifth lady to deal with it, no matter what, survive this night first, and ask the doctor tomorrow, the fourth wife can't say anything.
"Sister Begonia, I finally found you, I met you in Chunhui Hall on weekdays, and I didn't have a chance to talk to you."
Under the nose of Mrs. Jin, not to mention that Xingyu is inconvenient to talk to Begonia, Begonia is also inconvenient, and then the big night to make an exception to take the right card, it is impossible to let people know, Begonia is the old lady's house, how much face, the steward only took the right card to her, but also told this thing must not be passed out. Since then, Begonia nodded slightly when she saw Xingyu.
Haitang glanced at the little girls, and saw that they folded the wicker and leaned down to tease the fish, so she pulled Xingyu down the stone bridge, sat down on the Taihu Lake stone by the water, and asked: "I have been in the capital for a month, and I have never asked you, are you doing well in the house?" ”
Xingyu's heart is hot, Begonia is silent on weekdays, although she is a second-class maid, she is not the most favored in front of the old lady, otherwise she didn't let her follow when she went to Liu Yuer's house to listen to the play.
But although Haitang looked silent, she was warm-hearted, Xingyu had followed Linglong since she was a child, and no one in the impression had ever cared about her like this except for Miss Five.
"Miss Fifth treats me very well, and it's not as difficult as when I first came back, it's much better than when I was in the old mansion."
Yes, Master Jin San and Song Xiuzhu are both face-saving people, and they can't be as ignorant as a country woman like Jiao's, and they treat Miss Chang as a maid, and they are completely shameless.
Haitang sighed, patted Xingyu's hand, and said, "That's good, I heard that Miss Fifth is also engaged to be married, and you will definitely marry with her in the future, and there is always a hope." ”
Speaking of this, Xingyu asked with a smile: "I heard that Sister Xiangli didn't come with her, she pointed out the family matter, and she will marry at the end of the year, what about you, Sister Begonia, are you about to get married?" ”
Haitang is seventeen years old, and the Jin family has some identities as maids, if the master treats her well, most of them will find someone to marry at the age of eighteen or nine.
Haitang blushed, but quickly changed the topic, as if she couldn't say something.
"Little girl, how can you have so many words, you said that you found me with great difficulty, what are you looking for me?"
Xingyu saw that she seemed to have hidden worries, but it was her own business, and she didn't want to ask too much, so she said: "Sister Begonia, I want to ask, in the past, there were children from Jiangsu who gave birth to children, do you know anyone else who worked for Xifu?" ”
Haitang frowned slightly, thought about it, and said: "I seem to have heard Jin Lu's sister-in-law say that day, there is a person named Jin Sheng, who used to be in the Zhuangzi of the old house, and then the third master started a family in the capital, and the old lady was afraid that there was no suitable person here, so she transferred ten families to the third master, some went to the Zhuangzi, and some stayed in the house, but this time when we came to the capital, Jin Lu's sister-in-law said that those people were gone, but that Jin Sheng, a while ago, and his son came to the old lady to say goodbye, saying that he was in charge of the shop in the capital, No one else has heard of it again. ”
Xingyu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "Sister Begonia, think about it again, that person named Jin Sheng and his son, can you say which shop they are in?" Is it a shop in the East Mansion, or is it in our West Mansion? ”
Haitang thought about it again before saying: "It seems that Jin Lu's sister-in-law didn't mention which shop it is, but it must be from Xifu, not from Dongfu, because Jinlu's sister-in-law said it." ”
Speaking of this, she paused and asked rhetorically, "Why are you inquiring about this?" But did Miss Fifth ask you to inquire? ”
