Chapter 16 Eyeliner
Mother is more expensive than child, and this ironclad law is feasible at any time.
Seeing that the eldest lady's belly was getting bigger and bigger, the Jin family's center of gravity gradually tilted towards Jinxiao Garden. What is delicious, what is fun, those people are scrambling to go to the big lady to laugh.
Not for anything else, just ask the Jin family to give a good marriage.
"Sister Cui'er, congratulations!"
Tian Xing, who was washing the clothes of the eldest lady, suddenly came to Furong Garden, and seeing her big bags and small bags, she was planning to move over and live permanently.
"It's Sister Tian Xing, what are you doing here? What do I have to congratulate as a maid? Cui'er was baffled by Tian Xing, tilted her head to look, Tian Xing was followed by two old women, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.
Seeing that Cui'er deliberately blocked under the arch to prevent herself from entering, and that Tian Xing was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she simply put down her burden, took Cui'er's little hand and came to the middle of the two old women, pretending to be envious and jealous and said, "Don't you know? A few days ago, Li Tianchang, a squire from Nanzhen, came to greet the eldest lady, and heard that there was a girl from this town in the house, so he took a look. Hey, guess what? ”
Cui'er panicked when she heard this, she was from Nanzhen in Tian Xing's mouth, and the squire Li Tianchang was an old man in his forties. lived with the patches of the Jin family in the city, and the concubines he married couldn't even count.
That's all, Li Tianchang is domineering outside, but no one is afraid of him. was deflated, blocked his breath, and when he returned home, he vented at the concubine. The main wife is a distant relative of the Jin family who is personally matched by the eldest lady Li Ruyun, and Li Tianchang doesn't dare to do anything to her no matter how long she doesn't have a brain.
is such a man who is out of the same nest as Li Daqian, how could he come to the Jin family to ask for peace for no reason, and take a fancy to himself so coincidentally?
The more Cui'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and now, no one would have thought that this was arranged by the eldest lady.
Tian Xing smiled gloatingly on her face, picked up the burden on the ground and stepped into the Hibiscus Garden. "Sister Cui'er is really blessed, being favored by the squire, she won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future! By the way, the eldest lady asked me to serve the third aunt for you, hurry up and clean up your house, and I will have a place to stay! ”
Cui'er knew that something was wrong, and just wanted to go to the third aunt to complain, but was caught by the two fierce old women. One of them grabbed Cui'er's neck and screamed, "Dead girl, where are you going!" Stand up for the old lady, if you are disobedient, wait for the door to have your good life! ”
Another old woman punched Cui'er's waist hard, "Sister Yu, what are you doing with her mother-in-law, you go and help Tian Xing clean up, throw away what should be thrown away, and there is nothing to go back to Nanzhen." I'll take Master Li's concubine back first, and train it well, so as not to make the master unhappy at night! ”
The third aunt in the house didn't know anything about the outside, she sat in front of the dressing table after cleaning her hands in the copper basin, carefully looking at the faint crow's feet lying in the corners of her eyes, and her phoenix eyes were full of ruthless sighs for the years.
"Cui'er, I haven't seen Linlang dancing Wansha for some days, you go to the rose garden to take a look, invite her to me, and say that the third aunt misses you, if you still refuse to enter the city, you will go over in person." The third aunt pulled a long tone on the word "please", with a smile and a reproach.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the third aunt leaned back and looked outside, "Cui'er? Cui'er? ”
In the brass mirror, her face was full of suspicion, and when she saw that it was a strange maid who entered the door, she frowned her plain eyebrows without powder, and asked in surprise: "Who are you?" What about Cui'er? ”
"Back to the third aunt, I am Tian Xing, the maid in the laundry room, and Sister Cui'er is now packing up her clothes and preparing to prepare!"
A hint of joy flashed in the corner of Tian Xing's eyes when she entered the door, and she recalled the words of the eldest lady this morning, "Tian Xing, I heard that you have a sick father at home?" Today, I will ask Li'er to bring some silver over, and then go to the Jin family's pharmacy to grab medicine, and say that it is a distant relative of the eldest lady, and the second lady will reduce some silver taels as appropriate. ”
"Ready? What to prepare? ”
When Tian Xing was worried about the good lady in her heart, the third aunt felt more and more weird. She stared at Tian Xingshu's thin eyebrows, and secretly thought to herself: This girl, with fox eyes and thin lips, eyebrows over her forehead and temples, and a leaf-green ribbon deliberately tightened her thin waist, looked ********, and she was not a pure-minded person at first glance.
But I heard Tian Xing say: "Don't the third aunt know? Li Tian, a squire in Nanzhen, fell in love with Sister Cui'er, and he has married a side room in the past few days! I really envy Sister Cui'er and find a good family. ”
The third aunt didn't know who Li Tianchang was, and listening to Tian Xing's tone, it seemed that Cui'er had picked up a big pie, so she was relieved.
"Your name is Tian Xing, come and let me see, whose child is it?" The third aunt was not suspicious, but took Tian Xing's cold little hand, "Oh, it is said that no one hurts children with cold hands and cold feet, in the future, you will treat me as an aunt, tell me something!" ”
The rose garden in the east of the city is bathed in warm sunlight and ripples with the scent of flowers swaying in the breeze.
After resting for nearly half a month, Linlang felt that her body was slowly recovering. In the warm spring breeze, the old diseases have faded, and I don't know when they will come back.
"How's going on in Jincheng?"
Linlang looked at the long flower corridor and felt faintly uneasy in her heart, the roses were waiting to bloom, but she didn't hear the movement in the city. I saw a yellow-orange figure standing at the end, tiptoeing inside. A violet belt tightly binds the thin waist, and the swallow fat ring is thin, quite the charm of a mature woman.
"Is Sister Linlang here?" The girl asked tentatively, but before Linlang could answer, she said, "The third aunt asked me to come." ”
Looking at the unfamiliar shadow at the end, Linlang couldn't help frowning, third aunt? Why not Cui'er? Linlang walked out of the wooden house with doubts and walked to Tian Xing with small steps. "Did the third aunt ask you to come?"
Tian Xing had never seen Linlang, but he often heard the name of this stirring Jincheng in his ears.
Ethereal cloud satin wearing gauze brocade, white spirit flower fragrance smoke Bixia Luo, long curly skirt, wide sleeves fluttering, plus Qianqianyu's hand caressing the waist, just looking at this dress is enough to look at all the maids in Jinfu, even better than those ladies.
Tian Xing looked at Linlang, and couldn't help but admire in her heart: No wonder the third aunt often has her on her mouth, this face is more than ten times better than Cui'er!
Hmph, Linlang!
"Yes, sister, my name is Tian Xing, Cui'er will get married in a few days, and I will serve the third aunt in the future." Tian Xing smiled at the corner of her eyes, looked at Linlang and called softly: "Sister Linlang, the third aunt asked me to invite you to Furong Garden to dance a Wansha dance." I don't know if my sister agrees or not? ”
"Wan Sha Dance?"
Linlang stared at the corner of Tian Xing's eyes, and she couldn't see what this smile meant. "However, I am only a flower slave in this rose garden, and I can't enter the city without the permission of the master."
"Then forget it, I'll say to the third aunt when I go back, and say that your body is just unwell, and you will jump another day." Tian Xing followed Linlang's words without leaving a flaw. "Actually, this time I came, mainly to pick some rose petals for the third aunt, some for bathing, and some for tea."
"That's right!" Linlang was suddenly relieved, smiled faintly, and revealed two shallow dimples. "I've prepared these for my third aunt a long time ago. Sister come with me! ”
Entering the rose garden, you will be captured by the charming fragrance, walking in the flower gallery, above which is a dome of flowers and vines, and the roses are dotted in the verdant green, which not only shades the sun, but also makes people pleasing to the eye.
"Oh, I really envy Sister Linlang! You can spend all day in this rose garden, carefree, and you can cut flowers and plants when you are tired. It's like us, busy all day, and you have to be careful late at night. Tian Xing envied Linlang from the bottom of her heart, she looked left and right, a pair of eyes seemed to be not enough, and she couldn't wait to live here today.
"It's much quieter here than Jincheng."
While talking, the two came to the wooden house in the rose garden. Linlang took out two delicate wooden boxes and handed them to Tian Xing, "This is a big petal for bathing, and this is a flower bone for making tea." Don't get confused, this is a fine rose carefully prepared for the third aunt. ”
Scold! Carefully prepared, fine roses! The third aunt is afraid that she doesn't have that blessing yet! Tian Xing thought in her heart, but said, "Thank you sister for reminding me, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
