Chapter 110: Baoping Courtyard (1st Shift)
The nursing home couldn't help frowning, and suddenly snorted angrily, "That Liu Shuan didn't mention it at all when he picked up the shift, it must be that I won him half a penny yesterday, and he wants to retaliate against me." β
He muttered, turned around and walked to the door and asked his companion, "Zhang San'er, don't take a nap, there is something serious." β
When Zhang San'er, who was closed, heard this, he immediately cheered up, "What are you doing, that dead leper hasn't come to pick up the change, Lao Tzu is sleepy!" β
"Look," the nursing home compared to the four of Qi Qingyu, "can you recognize it?" β
"Hey, it's that good-looking little girl from the Qi family......" Zhang San'er raised her voice, "Why don't you recognize it, I came here the morning before yesterday." β
"Okay, you rest, I'll take the wind." The nursing home got the exact news, and hurriedly opened the vermilion gate, and then went down the steps and arched his hand: "Forgive the little eyes, Mrs. Qi and the sixth girl, please come in." β
"Uncle Law's help." Qi Qingyu also gave a salute, and Zeng also smiled and nodded in thanks.
Mama Li hurriedly took out an ingot of five taels of silver and stuffed it to the nursing home, he wanted to refuse, but when he saw Qi Qingyu walking by Zhang San'er, he paused, and the maid behind her also took five taels of silver out to reward. Zhang San'er was in good spirits and thanked him with a smile. He just took it.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, it was still the same Mama Liu, and when she saw that it was Qi Qingyu coming, she immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Ouch, it turned out that Mrs. Qi and the sixth girl were here, they were really distinguished guests." β
Qi Qingyu didn't give her face, and the smile on her lips was slightly mocking: "The guests are not counted, what a distinguished guest, Mama Liu is serious." β
As soon as these words came out, Mama Liu's face darkened, and she whispered, "Don't be ashamed of your face." After summoning the maid, he went back to the gate and waited.
Like a sculpture with heavy makeup.
Mama Liu didn't confess. This little maid is not the one the day before yesterday, and glanced at the clothes and accessories of the Zeng family and others. Naturally, the four of them walked towards the side door of the West Road.
Qi Qingyu followed indifferently, and after bypassing the delicate fountain, Li Zi suddenly stopped Qi Qingyu and asked with some surprise: "Sixth girl, go through the side door?" β
"It's supposed to be here." Qi Qingyu bypassed her, and took Zeng's hand and followed the little maid.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Before stepping into the second courtyard, a burst of cheers came out.
I saw Zuo Lingxiang and Zuo Lingxi, who were brightly dressed and pretty, standing there, after seeing Qi Qingyu. Clapped his palms with joy.
"Sixth girl, go to my yard to play, the white treasure beads I talked about last time ......"
"I came first, I told you that the sixth girl would come over today, and you are embarrassed to rob me!" Zuo Lingxiang glared at Zuo Lingxi, and the smell of gunpowder diffused in the air again.
This can also quarrel, these golden branches and jade leaves are really idle. Qi Qingyu muttered in her heart, then smiled and saluted, "Please forgive me, two young ladies." The folk girl had to go to see Mrs. Zuo first. β
"Auntie is not free yet."
"yes, when we first came out of the great-grandmother's house, they were still chattering......"
"It's Mrs. Qi and the sixth girl who are here." Suddenly, a rather majestic voice came. interrupted Zuo Lingxiang's words. This woman came over with the humility that a subordinate should have, but she was obviously different, it was Mama Hu under Mrs. Zuo's hand.
Zuo Lingxiang and Zuo Lingxi glanced at each other quickly. After exchanging glances, Zuo Lingxiang immediately greeted Mama Hu flatteringly: "Mama Hu." β
But Mama Hu could see that this flattering face was actually a hidden threat. Her daughter is on an errand under Zuo Lingxiang, so she has to sell her face. "The slave has seen Miss Ten and Miss Eleven."
Zuo Lingxiang emphasized again: "The eldest aunt is still accompanying the great-grandmother." β
Zuo Lingxi took the opportunity to say, "We want to take the six girls to my yard to play for a while." β
Zuo Lingxiang fired repeatedly: "Just for a while, when the eldest aunt comes out, you will come to inform us." β
Mama Hu thought that nothing should happen to her for a while, so she respectfully agreed: "The slave dares to disobey her fate." β
Qi Qingyu, who was quietly watching them on the side, looked calm, and her cherry lips were slightly curved. Ren Zuo Lingxiang took her hand through the hall, ran to the gorgeous hanging flower gate leading to the Sanjin Courtyard, and entered the cloister and went straight into the inner courtyard.
Zeng was busy trying to catch up, but was stopped by Mama Hu, "Mrs. Qi, please." Together with Li Zi, he led him to the small flower hall where he stayed the day before yesterday and waited.
Zuo Lingxiang is from the concubine room of the third old man of the left and does not have an independent courtyard, while Zuo Lingxi is the youngest daughter of the second old man of the left, with an independent and spacious courtyard.
So Zuo Lingxiang dragged Qi Qingyu to Zuo Lingxi's Baoping Courtyard. Zuo Lingxi ran behind them panting, almost shouting angrily.
The boudoir of the rich lady has many gold lacquer and silver ornaments, but the boudoir of the noble daughter can not find a silver-plated and gilded ornament, but is decorated with famous calligraphy and paintings and precious porcelain.
What's more, Qi Qingyu also saw a pair of Shu embroidered red-crowned cranes from today's famous artists in the small living room.
Standing out from the crowd, Zuo Lingxi's mother's heart is not small.
"Sit." Zuo Lingxiang was full of the posture that she was the master here, and pressed Qi Qingyu onto a round stool carved from pear blossom wood.
"Six girls, please have tea." When the maid put the fragrant lily tea on the table, Qi Qingyu found that there was a blue and white jade pot spring porcelain on the table. According to the glaze color and shape of the porcelain, this should have been produced in the Yue kiln a hundred years ago, and it was worth at least 100 taels of silver.
This is enough expensive porcelain that is half of Zuo Lingxi's body, and it is placed in such a position that is easy to knock down so casually, Qi Qingyu can't help but be a little vigilant.
At this time, Zuo Lingxiang happily jumped next to Qi Qingyu and sat down, but unexpectedly, the movement was too big and touched the case, and the jade pot spring porcelain shook several times.
Qi Qingyu's heart also jumped several times with the "pounding".
Zuo Lingxi saw that Qi Qingyu's eyes were attracted by the jade pot spring porcelain, Xiao Xing's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and sent it to Qi Qingyu: "Sixth girl, you really have a vision, this is a treasure, it has been passed down for two hundred years, and it was burned by the famous craftsman Qiu Cicada himself at that time...... Oops, it's heavy! β
Zuo Lingxi's thin body took one step left and right, swaying one step after another, seemingly trying to balance his body, but he couldn't stand firmly.
"I'll help you, I'll help you!" Zuo Lingxiang was also nervous, so anxious that he shouted loudly. But in addition, she didn't seem to be able to hold it steadily, so she hurriedly shouted at Qi Qingyu: "Sixth girl, you can also come to help." β
Qi Qingyu didn't answer, didn't move, just sat and watched in a daze.
At this time, there was a unique sound of the noble ladies who were hugging each other outside when they appeared, the sound of light or heavy footsteps, the crisp and pleasant sound of the Zhucui stepping and swaying, and the sound of the rings and palaces, listening to the footsteps, at least seven or eight women came to Baoping Courtyard.
Zuo Lingxi, who was hiding behind the jade pot spring porcelain, narrowed his eyes fiercely, glanced at Zuo Lingxiang, and simply put the jade pot spring porcelain directly on Qi Qingyu's body.
Qi Qingyu sneered in her heart, didn't she just want to fall? Then fall!
"Miss Eleven, the folk girl can't hold ......" Qi Qingyu pretended to be panicked and stood up.
A loud "knock-" was followed by a dense crackling sound of porcelain pieces cracking and popping.
How could it be broken like this? Qi Qingyu stared at the ground suspiciouslyβa delicate red letterhead looked so dazzling in the mottled broken porcelain! (To be continued......)
