A dark glint flashed in Xie Hao's crooked smiling eyes.

The Liu family had stepped forward and hugged Xie Hao's shoulder lovingly, "Little Liu'er, the third aunt asked you for a maid, are you willing to do it?" ”

She is now in charge of the affairs of the Xie family, and her identity is different from that of other ladies, and using the word "begging" really exalts Xie Zhen.

Xie Zhen said angrily: "How can you be reluctant? The third aunt deliberately made fun of Zhen'er! ”

She said, showing a puzzled expression again, "I just don't know which maid has this blessing and can be valued by the third aunt." ”

Ryu pursed his lips and smiled, nudging her shoulders and motioning for her to look forward.

Hongling stood there, her eyes down, her expression panicked.

"Well, this is the maid." Liu said, raised his finger and pointed at Xie Zhen's nose, and quipped, "Are you still willing to do it now?" ”

"Oh." Xie Zhen suddenly elongated the end of the note, "It turned out to be Hongling!" ”

Hongling's heart trembled slightly, and she only felt that her tone was indescribably strange.

Liu didn't feel anything unusual in Xie Zhen's words, and still smiled and said, "Yes! That's her. I didn't notice that there was such a clever maid by your side before, her mouth was sweet as if she had been smeared with honey, and today I happened to bump into it, so it can be seen that she also has some fate with me, so you might as well let her serve by my side. ”

Xie Zhen glanced at Hongling, and said with a smile: "She has always been honest, Zhen'er didn't know that she was so sweet-mouthed, I think she usually hides those good words, and she is only willing to say it when she sees the third aunt, right?" ”

"Wow!" Liu smiled: "How can I hear that there is a smell of vinegar in your words?" Hongling, why don't you say a few nice words to coax your young lady? Beware that she won't let you go. ”

"Miss." Hongling screamed, but her feet didn't move.

Xie Zhen sneered: "Zhen'er can eat a little girl's vinegar? Third aunt, you better take her quickly! lest people blame Zhen'er in their hearts for having no eyes in her way. ”

Liu didn't expect her to say this, but she was surprised and only felt a little funny, while sending Song Lin and Hongling to retreat, she reached out and pinched Xie Zhen's cheek, and said with a smile: "You are only seven years old, this mouth is so powerful, when you are older, you don't know how to grind people!" Girls' families, this is not good. ”

Isn't it good? Xie Zhen's mouth was filled with bitterness.

In that life, she didn't say anything, she was kind to people everywhere, and the result was not the end of her family? In this case, why should she have wronged herself?

A thought suddenly flashed in Xie Zhen's heart, and immediately took Liu's hand, and said with a smile: "What's good or not, Zhen'er doesn't know." Zhen'er only knows that the third aunt took away Zhen'er's maid, and now Zhen'er has no one who can call her, and the third aunt wants to compensate Zhen'er for a maid! ”

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I'm wondering why Xiao Liu'er agreed so lightly, it turns out that you are waiting for me here!" Tell me, which maid in my room do you like? ”

Xie Zhen made a thoughtful look, and only said after a while: "Others Zhen'er don't know, Zhen'er is very good at seeing the sister Nan'er who is the best at combing her hair in the third aunt's room." The third aunt will exchange her for it! ”

"Nan'er?" Liu Shi was stunned and said strangely: "Nan'er's maid is indeed skillful, but she has a boring temperament, and she hardly goes out of the third room on weekdays, how do you know her?" ”

Xie Hao secretly bit the tip of her tongue when she heard this, she was bent on bringing Sister Nan'er to her side, but she forgot that she had never seen Sister Nan'er in this life!

In that life, when did she meet Sister Nan'er? Xie Zhen secretly recalled in her heart that it seemed that after Liu's funeral, Sister Nan'er came to take care of the third brother, and she met Sister Nan'er at this time.

You can't say it's missing! Xie Zhen rolled her eyes and said casually: "Zhen'er has never seen Sister Nan'er, but she often hears the maids praise her for her beautiful hair, so I wrote it down." ”

"I see." Liu didn't doubt her words at all, and only smiled: "It turns out that you have been thinking about it for a long time." It's just that I asked you for Hongling again, and now I can't do it if I don't give Nan'er to you. ”

"That's natural, the third aunt has always been fair, how could she rely on Zhen'er?" Xie Zhen blinked her eyes and said seriously.

"You, you!" Liu shook his head and deliberately straightened his face and said, "I know how to say good things to gag my mouth!" I don't know who I learned so badly, be careful that I will sue you in front of your mother later! ”

Xie Zhen naturally didn't believe that she would really sue, so she only hugged her arm and grinned.

Seeing her like this, where can Liu still hold his face? laughed out loud at the moment, and said that she was a "ghost".

While the two were laughing, the finch appeared at the end of the stone steps with a mother-in-law, six maids, and two servants, and when they saw them standing under the tree, they came together.

Xie Zhen raised his eyes and saw that the two little maids were carrying a copper basin together, and there were three maids holding a basket, each with peach roots, plum roots and plum roots, and the other three maids were holding black lacquer and gold sunflower boxes, which were full of longan, lychees, chestnuts and other happy fruits dyed red with rouge. And the mother-in-law who followed the bird was Mrs. Zhang, who delivered the baby for her mother that day!

The ritual of washing children in the three dynasties was originally carried out with the support of the midwives. Xie Zhen knew this, so she put down her dislike for the time being.

"Ma'am." Que'er Fuli said: "Mama Zhang is here, and the baptism ceremony can begin." ”

Liu patted his forehead lightly, and blamed Xie Zhen and said, "Look at me, I am all with you, but I forgot about business." ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly asked Qi'er, "Is the old lady here?" ”

The baptism ceremony, according to the customs of the Great Jin Dynasty, is to ask the elders in the family to add pots to the baby.

Qi'er's expression was a little embarrassed, and she said: "I just went to invite, and Sister Baolu in the old lady's yard said that the old lady suffered from the cold last night, and she was a little unhappy today, so she didn't come." ”

Liu knew that Mrs. Jin would not come today, and that question was just a formality, but now she was neither surprised nor worried when she heard what Que'er said, but she understood that it was Mrs. Jin's excuse to say that she was sick, and only casually asked Que'er a few words about the old lady, "How is the condition, but you can ask a doctor" and the like.

Finch nodded in response, "Please." ”

Liu bowed slightly.

Qi'er said again: "The eldest lady is not in the house, but she has already asked Mama Jiang to come, and I have already asked someone to invite her." ”

"Sister-in-law has a heart." Liu smiled and asked again, "Second lady can be invited?" ”

"Please." Que'er said: "I went to invite it personally, and even if the second lady should respond, it is almost here now." ”

"You're smart." Liu nodded with satisfaction, and ordered her to lead Mrs. Zhang into the decoration first, while she took Xie Hao and slowly walked into the courtyard.
