Chapter 22: Pray for the Lord
said before that Hongling came to discuss with her mother Song Lin because Xie Zhen wanted to change the maid, and because of her sneaky actions, she was dragged under the tree by Song Lin for questioning. The mother and daughter were talking, when they suddenly heard a loud shout behind them, and they were so frightened that their souls were about to disperse.
Hongling was too young to be frightened, and when she came back to her senses, she pulled her leg and wanted to run, but she was quickly grabbed by Song Lin's arm.
"Run for what?" Song Lin glanced at her and scolded in a low voice: "The two of us are mother and daughter, even if we are bumped into together, what does it matter if we talk together?" It's good that you want to run away first, leave me alone, and make people think that you are weak-hearted. β
Hongling lowered her head and responded, she originally didn't have any idea, she was only afraid of being caught before she wanted to escape, now listening to Song Lin's words, thinking that it was really the same thing, looking up and seeing Song Lin's awe-inspiring and fearless appearance, she thought that she had a way to deal with it, and her heart was suddenly settled.
This is Hongling's misunderstanding, Song Lin is actually afraid in her heart, but she is old, she has experienced many years in Xie Mansion, and she has learned the master's set of joy and anger Kung Fu ninety percent ninety, the more scared she is, the more indifferent she is, and people who don't know her depth really think that she is a person Zhou Zheng was bluffed by her.
The man behind him seemed to be frightened by her.
Only a few swaying of skirts could be heard, and the man's voice was already attached to the back of their heads, not as stern as before, but with a soft smile.
"Who am I, it turned out to be Mama Song."
When Song Lin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Hongling to turn around.
"The third lady is well." She bowed to the visitor, a flattering smile on her face.
Third Lady? Hongling was startled, and then her face turned red, she remembered that day when she invited Song Lin to serve Xie Yu, and she couldn't help but peek at the woman in front of her.
The woman was tall, plump, and imposing. Combed with a fallen bun, wearing a silver plain white pearl pendant to wipe his forehead, and a hairpin double-rank chicken heart pendant small silver phoenix hairpin. Wearing this pink rose pattern gown, revealing the collar of a powder blue midi, and wearing a vermilion feather satin skirt.
It's so beautiful! Hongling's eyes widened, and her face was full of amazement.
Since she entered the mansion, she has only served by Xie Zhen's side, and the masters she has seen include Mrs. Jin, who is used to wearing dark jackets and skirts, and is solemn and solemn; There is a preference for Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum pattern, gentle and graceful fourth lady Li Shi; But it was the first time I saw this beautiful dress, glamorous and vulgar third lady Liu.
I just don't know what the temperament of the third lady is? Hongling secretly guessed that she had other plans in her heart.
She originally wanted Song Lin to ask for a favor for her in front of the Li family, so that she could wait by Xie Yu's side, but she didn't expect that Xie Zhen suddenly had the idea of changing the maid this morning, which made Hongling suddenly nervous. She was only afraid that Xie Hao would say her badly in front of the Li family, and the Li family replaced her, and at that time her original plan would be frustrated, and it would be light to let her go to the house, and the most afraid would be to be sent to the miscellaneous room to be a rough maid, which was not as decent as her in front of Xie Zhen, and she couldn't ask for a good word if she was tired and tired, and the credit and hard work were all in charge of the mother, and if she made a mistake, she would be punished but the maids below would suffer. She was worried that she would end up being bullied by everyone, so she hurriedly came to her mother Song Lin to discuss, but she didn't expect that there was still this great creation waiting for her today!
Hongling secretly rejoiced in her heart: Since God let her meet the third lady today, then she must not let go of this great opportunity! If she can please the third lady and is asked by the third lady, won't she be able to see the third master as she wishes!
"Third lady." Hongling called out respectfully. She lowered her head, for fear that Liu would find out the anticipation on her face, but she was younger, and although she hid the expression on her face, the joy still came out of her raised voice.
Liu didn't care about this little maid at first, but now when he heard her voice, he couldn't help but glance at her curiously.
The little girl wearing a red pinching moon and white buds with a double bun lowered her head and couldn't see it, only a white and tender neck was exposed at the neckline.
"Look up." She said softly.
Hongling pursed her lips vigorously and raised her head timidly.
A pair of big eyes that are bright and indescribably pitiful.
"It's good-looking." Liu Shi smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Hongling's shoulder, with a little force, only to feel that the bones under his hand were awkward, so he said, "It's just a little thinner." β
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered another incident, turned her head to Song Lin's and said, "I remember that you have a daughter at home, who is the same age as Xiao Liu'er, but is she the one?" β
Song Lin didn't expect her to remember this incident, she was surprised and happy, and hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, it's her." Just now I was telling her under the tree, but I didn't expect to bump into you, the third lady. β
A hint of ridicule flashed in Liu's eyes, but he said: "Where did you collide with me, it was me who mistook you." You too, what can't you say in the courtyard openly? If you have to stand in this corner, you don't blame me for misunderstanding. β
Where did Song Lin dare to blame her? He just nodded sneeringly.
Hongling stopped talking after shouting the third lady, and only looked at Liu with a pair of big eyes, as if there were many words in his eyes.
Liu couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Why do you keep staring at me?" Is there anything strange about me? β
"Yes!" Hongling nodded solemnly.
Song Lin's smiling face froze, and he secretly pinched Hongling, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Dead girl!" What nonsense are you talking about? β
Hongling was in pain, gasped with a "hiss", and hid from Liu's body.
The Liu family naturally saw Song Lin's movements in his eyes, and when he saw Hongling avoiding her, he protected her behind him, and said with a smile: "Tong Yan Wuji, I just asked for fun, why do you pinch her?" β
Song Lin nodded wryly.
Liu Shi helped Hongling's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what's wrong with me?" β
Hongling blinked and said, "It's strange everywhere!" I have never seen such a beautiful person as Madame, and the phoenix she wears is also like the real thing, Madame, did you come down from the sky or from a painting? β
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, then covered his lips and smiled: "Ouch, you human spirit." I don't know what your mother fed you since she was a child, and her mouth is so sweet. β
Hongling was still staring, looking naΓ―ve and cute, and only said, "What I said is true." In the mythical stories that my mother told me in the past, aren't fairies like Mrs. β
"You, you!" Liu Shi smiled: "It's a pity that you are Xiao Liu'er's maid, otherwise I would have begged you to go, and let you be by your side to relieve your boredom, but it is much stronger than my stuffy gourd son." β
Song Lin took the opportunity to say: "If you can win the love of Mrs., it is a blessing for this girl." There are some things that I should not have said, and if I say them, I will inevitably be suspected of abandoning the Lord, but I have to say them, and I ask my wife to forgive me for the sake of being a mother. β
Liu Shi was silent for a moment before he said, "You can say it." β
Song Lin said: "My girl has been serving by Miss Six's side since she went to the house a year ago, and the two are like sisters, if she is allowed to leave Miss Six, she will definitely be unwilling in her heart." But it's my selfishness, I want to choose a relative after Miss Six and Xuan, and then Hongling will naturally be a dowry maid and go to my aunt's house, and I don't know when I can come back, only I and my family are just such a daughter, in the end, I can't bear it! I dare to ask the third lady to keep her by her side for a few years, and when she reaches the age of marriage, if the lady can make her the decision and match her with a good family, it will also be her creation! β
Liu Shi was silent in thought, her flattering words were just casual words, who would have thought that Song Lin really climbed up the pole. Although she likes to show off her talents on weekdays, those things are more or less profitable, and now Song Lin's begging for her not only can't bring her any benefits, but will also cause her a lot of trouble. This girl's mouth is sweet, but when has there ever been a lack of flattering people around her? It's really not worth it, the lady in the third room, to ask for someone in the fourth room.
Song Lin's expression was faint when he saw her, and he was only afraid that things would be bad, but he said that he wanted this to be done, so he could only bite the bullet and ask for it to the end!
As soon as Song Lin's knees lowered, he was about to kneel down for Liu's family, and only said: "I know that the third lady is sympathetic to our subordinates on weekdays, and only today I dare to come to ask Mrs. for mercy, and I hope that Mrs. will have pity on me, and in the next life, I will repay Mrs. for my great kindness as a cow and a horse!" β
Liu's heart moved, thinking that if she helped this Song Lin clan, the people in the mansion would definitely respect her even more. At that moment, he hurriedly reached out to support Song Lin's arm, and sighed softly: "That's it." I am also a mother, so I naturally understand your hard work, so I will talk about it for you and Le Yao! β
Song Lin and Hongling secretly exchanged glances, and each saw joy in each other's eyes.
"What does the third aunt want to say to her mother?" A sweet voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Let Zhen'er listen to it first, okay?" β
When Hongling heard this voice, her heart trembled, and her body couldn't help but hide behind Liu.
Liu happened to turn around and talk to Xie Hao, but he didn't notice Hongling's deliberate dodge.
"Okay!" Liu said with a smile: "It stands to reason that this matter should also be told to Xiao Liu'er first." β
"Really?" Xie Hao smiled and crossed the threshold, her eyes keenly catching the corner of red that appeared behind Liu.
