Chapter Ninety-Four: Accept Ciyue as a personal maid
Ciyue sat there for a long time, looked down at the pearl paste in her hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's a slave who wants to be simple." ”
Seeing her like this, Youwei didn't want to continue, just when Wanniang came in with a snack, Ciyue stood up at this time and blessed Youwei: "Don't bother the little lady, go back." Without waiting for Youwei to speak, she covered her face and ran out first.
Wan Niang was stunned for a moment, then walked to Youwei's side, put down the snacks, and asked, "Little lady, what's wrong with Ciyue?" ”
Youwei looked outside the door and smiled: "Maybe you figured it out, right?" ”
Wan Niang stopped talking, and took a small snack with silver chopsticks and sent it to Youwei.
A few days later, Ciyue came, this time she actually changed out of her pale green jacket, and wore a plain white cotton skirt inside.
When Youwei saw her coming, she couldn't help but quip: "Yo, where did the spring girl come from, she looks so good!" ”
Ciyue was a little embarrassed: "Little lady, don't make fun of the slave, the slave will figure it out when he goes back, since Master Shen Si said that the slave is not in the dust, and the slave is forced to leave the house, after all, it is difficult to make a decision, it is better to take a look after a while." ”
Youwei nodded, and saw that she simply tied her hair with a strip of cloth, so she shouted to Baoyue: "Baoyue, come over and tie up Ciyue's hair, I want to see what Ciyue's hairstyle looks like!" ”
Baoyue quickly combed Ciyue's hair, it was a maid's hair bun, coiled up on both sides of her head, pinned with small beaded flowers, and braided a twist braid at the back until the waist, the whole person looked particularly refreshing and pleasant.
Ciyue came over and took the embroidery in Youwei's hand, and after looking at it carefully, she said to the little lady with a smile: "The little lady's embroidered hibiscus is already very good, but it's a pity that the color is still monotonous, although the hibiscus is not stained out of the mud, but the slave seems that the hibiscus is still affectionate, the lotus leaves protect the lotus, the lotus adds color to the lotus leaves, and they snuggle up to each other, it shouldn't be so cold." ”
Youwei smiled: "I still know this allusion, fortunately I didn't embroider peony, otherwise you still think I embroidered not enough!" ”
Ciyue pursed her lips and smiled: "The little lady is straightforward and straightforward, and the three words demon Wuge will never be used on the little lady!" Look at the hibiscus you embroidered, the slave also has some itchy hands, if the little lady does not dislike the slave is rough and stupid, why don't you give this veil to the slave to try? ”
Youwei was still afraid that she would drill the tip of the horns, seeing Ciyue making such a request,
Naturally, he agreed, and said with a smile: "I have just learned embroidery, you are willing to teach me, I am naturally very happy, how can I still think you are rough and stupid?" ”
Ciyue took the needlework basket beside Youwei, picked the thread of the right color from it, took an embroidery needle, and quickly threaded the thread through the pinhole, and sat on Youwei's feet to embroider.
At first, Youwei was still very curious to see how Ciyue embroidered, but soon became bored, so she grabbed a book casually and read it slowly on the armrest pillow.
"Little lady, wake up, it's time to eat." Baoyue gently shook Youwei awake, Youwei opened her eyes and looked around, there were already three dishes and one soup on the table, Youwei smiled unconsciously: "Yo, this trance is crooked, it's night?" ”
Wan Niang smiled and came to support Youwei: "The little lady is afraid of the cold, Ciyue took a blanket to cover the little lady, for fear that the little lady will be infected with the cold." ”
Youwei then remembered Ciyue: "What about her?" You can stay for dinner. ”
Baoyue put away the dishes and chopsticks, took the mouthwash cup to Youwei, and said: "After Ciyue embroidered, she saw that the little lady slept sweetly, so she left quietly, for fear of disturbing the little lady's dream." ”
Youwei also remembered that Ciyue had made up some of the handkerchiefs she had embroidered, and patted her head: "Yes, is Ciyue embroidered?" Where's the veil? ”
Wan Niang took it out of her arms and held it to Youwei, Youwei was going to take a look, but she didn't expect to take the handkerchief in her hand and look at it carefully.
This lotus embroidery is really good, even the small wrinkles on the surface of the lotus are also taken into account, the embroidery is particularly detailed, the tip of the lotus is red, and so on to the bottom of the petals, it can gradually be smudged, from red to pink to white and finally the turquoise is connected with the lotus stem, very beautiful. In addition, the draft that Youwei made before was a lotus flower facing the wind, which was already a bit windy, so the color was added carefully, as if the lotus flower was blooming on a handkerchief.
Ciyue came a few days later, this time it was a fun allusion to the book with Youwei, Youwei had never heard of it, Ciyue only thought that Youwei was testing how much she knew, and she said a lot, and Baoyue listened to it for a while and forgot to serve Youwei, standing aside and listening with relish, Wanniang saw that the three little girls were very happy to get along, and she knew that this was also not much of a happy time before returning home, so she didn't bother them even more, and quietly added charcoal to make the house warmer.
The carriages and horses in the house came to send food and clothes again, the weather is getting warmer, the swallows are back, I think it is already **, Ciyue is teaching the stitches of Youwei embroidery, seeing the neighing of the horses outside the door, the little girl in the house and Wanniang are laughing and busy moving things, Ciyue is stunned, and the conversation has stopped.
Youwei looked up at her in a daze, knowing that she still didn't want to go back to the house to be a concubine, remembering that Yiyue was transferred to Youwei's house by her wife, and it was also to prevent the old man from reaching out to her daughter's house to ask for someone, Ciyue was serving the old lady before, that is, this Youwei's grandmother, because this grandmother saw that Mrs. had the intention of courtesy to the Buddha, she was very happy, and rewarded Ciyue in the past, because there were not many literate maids, and she was empathetic. But what Youwei doesn't understand is that Brother Zhang in the mansion is only twelve years old, and the only adult man in the mansion is Zhao Xiaoyong, who has rewarded such a beautiful maid, does no one know such an obvious intention?
Seeing that a well-dressed mother-in-law came to salute, Youwei waited for her to finish her and said with a smile: "Sorry aunt, wait for Wanniang to get some care." ”
The aunt was overjoyed and said: "I was willing to send things for the little lady, this is a matter of the slave's responsibility, the little lady is so polite, I am embarrassed to teach the slave!" ”
Youwei smiled and said, "Then I still have something I want to trouble my aunt." ”
The aunt hurriedly responded: "Don't bother, don't bother, the little lady just said, if the slave can help, he will definitely help!" ”
Youwei pulled Ciyue, who was standing aside, and said to her aunt: "I'm also bothering you to pass on the word, Ciyue is my mother's maid, because I want to learn Buddhist scriptures to come to Baihe'an, now I think this maid is very good, I want to say to my mother, beg her to give me this maid, and then my daughter will embroider a handkerchief for her mother!" ”
The aunt said, "Madame loves the little lady very much, and she will not refuse if she wants to, so the slave will ask Madame for you first." ”
Youwei smiled and nodded: "Then thank you aunt." ”
Wan Niang stepped forward to take her aunt down to drink tea and give a reward, Youwei waited for them to go away, and said to Ciyue: "This carriage passes by Baihe Nunnery, you wait to take the car back to get your luggage, and sleep in Yiyue's shop tonight." ”
Ciyue was overjoyed, and immediately bowed three times: "The little lady's life-saving grace, the slave should be a grass hug ring in the next life to be a cow and a horse to repay the little lady!" ”
Youwei picked her up and quipped: "I'll try to let you come over and serve me, if you don't dislike me for being stupid." ”
Ciyue smiled and wiped her tears: "I heard that the little lady has a cold temperament before, but I didn't expect the little lady to be so good... How can a slave think the little lady is stupid? The slave is willing to embroider clothes for the little lady for a lifetime! ”
