Chapter 55: Merry Boy
Huan'er said that the young master was eccentric, so Nanmu rewarded Huan'er with the best cloth transported from Jiangnan. Qiao'er felt even more aggrieved, and told other maids that the little maid who was waiting for the young master knew about it, and they all clamored that the young master was partial and wanted to be rewarded.
One by one, they picked up handkerchiefs and wiped tears from their eyes. Nanmu also gave the rouge from the south, the specialties from the north, the embroidery from the east, and the rare things from the west to the little maid.
The little maidens made a fuss even more fiercely—she took more than her, her rouge was better than her gouache, her rare things were more expensive than her silk, and they were arguing!
Nanmu saw the girls quarreling, and his heart was very comfortable, for fear that the matter would not make a big fuss, so he took out the dowry of Miss Qiao's family, a piece of heirloom treasure jade, and coaxed the little girls to quarrel, whoever won the quarrel, Baoyu would be rewarded to whom
Just when the girls were yelling one by one with red faces and thick necks, a girl who looked younger ran in: "Young master, young master is not good!" ”
"Luyi, can you speak, who is not good!" Huan'er pinched her waist with one hand, and scolded Luyi's head with a sharp voice.
"I'm not saying that the young master is bad, I mean the young master is not good! No, no, I mean the young master is not good! No, isn't it "Luyi looks eleven or twelve years old, has not experienced any big storms, and when it comes to something urgent, it just bites the wrong light accent."
"Oops!" Shu'er, who was standing next to Luyi, couldn't look at it, and pointed to Huan'er's nose to distinguish: "People are Luyi is saying, young master!" No~good~It's over~" After finishing speaking, he took the opportunity to give Huan'er a white look.
Huan'er looked like a powerful maid, pinched her waist and began to pull her throat: "You can!" Just as you can! If you can't, can you get the most expensive gadget in Chang'an-the rocking horse lion? ”
"You don't care if I get the rocking lion or the lion rocking the horse!" Shu'er is not a master to mess with, so she jumped up and shouted to Huan'er: "I can do it again!" I can no longer do without you! Get the young master! ”
"You! You, you" Huan'er's face was red for a while and green for a while, and he gritted his teeth angrily.
Nanmu leaned comfortably against the back of the mahogany chair and listened to their shouting and scolding with great interest.
"Say what?" From the northeast corner of the stage came a woman with a lithe figure and an unsteady and shaky step. The woman was plain white, her face was bloodless, and she looked like she was twenty-eight years old.
"Young lady." When a few maids saw Qiao Yujie coming in, they hurriedly stopped their mouths, Huan'er glared at Shu'er fiercely, and whispered to Shu'er: "Let you speak!" I don't know how long she stood behind the rockery, what if she was heard? “
Shu'er snorted coldly: "I knew why I had to do it today." Huan'er twisted Shu'er's arm fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know, that time the young master asked me to go out to buy purple mushroom flowers on East Street." I forgot to take the money and came back halfway, the door of the room was locked, and the young master asked you if you want the jewelry of Tianfu or the gold hairpin of the silver craftsman, and then there was a burst of nonsense, and I blushed when I said it. At night, the young master slept in the study, and you stayed inside until midnight before coming back."
Shu'er lowered her head and pulled Huan'er's sleeve: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about you in the future." ”
"What are you two muttering?" Qiao Yujie slowly walked in front of the two maids. The two maids closed their mouths tightly and hurriedly waved their hands: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that I heard Imperial Doctor Li say that the young lady's condition has worsened a while ago, but I didn't expect the young lady to come out for a walk today, and it can be seen that her body is getting better." We discussed what the young lady liked to eat, and then told the cook to do it. ”
