"Xinglan Courtyard has three main rooms in the east wing, which are transparent and bright, and the west wing is slightly crowded, but the west wing is close to the lotus pond, and you can see the lotus flowers in the pond as soon as you open the window in summer, and the scenery is good."

Mother Yao led Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun around Xinglan Courtyard, and said: "Madame originally wanted to divide another courtyard for Miss Chun'er to live in, but Miss Chun'er is close to you, so she still lets you live together, and the east and west chambers depend on which one you like." ”

Jiang Chun took Jiang Quino's arm and said with a smile: "I just want to live with you, when I go out, my mother told me, I have to take good care of you, if I lose a single hair, she won't let me go, I can't stay away from you." ”

Jiang Quinoa nodded her nose, although Jiang Mansion is her home, it is more of a strangeness, her parents, brothers and sisters are similar to strangers to her, that is, Jiang Chun is by her side will make her feel that she has relatives by her side, and she is reluctant to part with Jiang Chun.

"Okay, then I'll give you the spacious east wing, and I'll live in the west wing." Jiang Quinoa reciprocated the peach.

Jiang Chun nodded vigorously, pretending to be proud: "Good, of course I have to live in a big room when I'm older than you." She couldn't help herself with this exaggerated and contrived appearance, and laughed.

Jiang Quinoa also smiled happily.

Yao's mother can be Liu's henchman, of course, she still has some ability, at least she doesn't show her joy. However, the little maid who followed behind was shallow, frowning and sneering, and wrote clearly on her face: "What is from the countryside is from the countryside, and it can't be put on the table." ”

After laughing, Jiang Chun waved his hand and said, "I don't have much stuff." It's a waste to live in such a big room, or I live in the west chamber and you live in the east chamber. ”

Jiang Quinoa spread his hands: "What you said is as if I brought a lot of salutes." ”

Jiang Chun thought for a moment. But it's not, the two of them rolled up their bags and packed two clothes, so they followed the dart game to the capital so frankly, I thought that I could come and live for two or three days, who knew that it was unfortunate that they came on the front foot, and they didn't say a word. Uncle Xun on the back foot went down to Huguang. If they had known, they wouldn't have made this trip, and Uncle Xun would have gone to Huguang to pay homage to his father's grave? Now the hatchback misses. They had to wait in the capital for Uncle Xun to come back.

"Mother Yao, I think it's good for me to live with Ah Quinoa, why do you insist on separating us." Jiang Chun really couldn't figure it out, she and Jiang Quinoa had slept well in the same bed two nights before. Why did you suddenly ask Yao's mother to divide the room for them today.

Yao's mother smiled even more kindly: "The capital has the rules of the capital. The two sisters are friendly and occasionally huddle in the same bed and whisper, where can they sleep in the same bed all day long, and it is not that the family is too poor to live. The east wing and the west wing are not far apart, if you are reluctant to miss the eldest lady, you can walk two steps to get there. ”

That's what I said, but Yao's mother knew that it wasn't the reason. This morning, Mrs. received the letter from the Chen Mansion, held it and read it for a long time, and then asked her to come over and show the yard for the two young ladies. I also had to pick up things and ornaments from the warehouse, and I also called the master of the sewing shop to come and measure the size. I want to make new clothes for the three young ladies and the two young masters in the family. After speaking, he called the housekeeper Jiang Xi to come over and discuss the matter of holding a spring banquet for two days. She thought about it, she knew exactly what kind of lintel the Jiang family was, in previous years, she had only gone to the Chen Mansion to participate in the Spring Banquet, or had dealings with the master's Shangfeng and colleagues' families, but she had never held a Spring Banquet like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to invite anyone over, and she would be embarrassed and lose her hair when the time came. This year, I have such confidence to hold a spring banquet, what is it for, it is not that the lord has been promoted. One liter has also been promoted by two grades, although the official position is small, but in this several families, it is also the first one.

Two days ago, no matter how the eldest lady lived, she could live however she wanted, because I knew that she would live for a short time. But if you want to have a banquet at home, you can't hide people, if outsiders see something at that time, it will lose the face of the lady. Didn't I rush to let her help clean up the yard.

"Madame also ordered, when the ladies choose a place to live, they will open a warehouse, and the room will also be decorated, and when the tables, chairs, bonsai, curtains, mosquito nets, and screen ornaments will be taken out, and the room will not look empty." Yao's mother said.

Jiang Quinoa and they didn't understand this, and the two finally decided that Jiang Quinoa lived in the east wing and Jiang Chun lived in the west wing, so they copied the book on the table, and Yao's mother commanded the maid and woman to move things in and out, and at night, the whole room changed greatly.

"Wow, it turns out that everyone's boudoir is like this." Jiang Chun looked at it again and again, "Look at this bed, look at this ornament, hey, look at this screen, is it about the same size as the one that Master Li painted before, but the handiwork is not as good as Master Li." Jiang Chun commented in a similar manner.

Jiang Quinoa looked at it and agreed with her statement.

Mother Yao heard them mention Master Li, and asked casually, "Master Li?" Is it the embroidery girl that the master sent to the eldest lady? It seems that her embroidery is still good. ”

Jiang Chun had no scheming and boasted: "It's not that I'm boasting, I'm so big, I haven't seen anyone with embroidery who is more vivid than Master Li, and she is also beautiful, has good rules, and is good for people." Uncle Xun is really discerning, and he sent such a good master to Quinoa, so that I can also be stained. ”

The smile on Yao's mother's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and she reluctantly smiled: "Yes, the old man really looks at Miss Da." ”

Jiang Qu's eyes fell on the screen, looked at it carefully, and asked, "I feel that the stitching method on this is different from what Master Li taught us, is it the embroidery method from other places?" ”

Yao's mother smiled again and said, "It's not, this is Hunan embroidery, it is the traditional stitching method over there in Huguang, our hometown is Huguang, and it is more appropriate to put things from Huguang at home." ”

Wang Li is a native of Jiangnan and studied Suzhou embroidery, is it because of this reason that he was sent to her?

If you don't understand it, you don't want to, Jiang Qu shook his head, no matter what, his father sent such a good master as Wang Li to her, and she always benefited more.

"Today, the lady called the needlework master of Linglong Workshop to come over and tailor the two young ladies, and by the way, she chose the fabric, but the master of Linglong Workshop couldn't come because of something. Someone has been sent to apologize for the crime, Ming'er will come over at dawn, and the two young ladies will go out tomorrow in the morning or wait for the fabric to be selected before going out. Yao's mother said.

Where Linglong Fang is, they don't know either. Nodding his head to show that he understood, he ate in his own room again, copied a few pages of the book at night, and slept peacefully.

Jiang Quinoa was calm, and he didn't notice that the well-arranged room was better than before, and when it was time to sleep, he fell asleep in bed. Jiang Chun doesn't have the same concentration as her. It may be that his family has been poor since he was a child, and in winter he will spread a thick layer of straw under the futon in order to keep warm, and his body is covered with a thin torn quilt that has been around for some years. I always felt that the wind was still pouring in from the quilt, and it was biting cold, and now she was covered with a soft quilt, and she didn't even dare to move. I'm afraid it's a sweet dream. It shattered when it moved. Lying stiffly in the quilt, half of his body was stiff, and he tilted his head to talk to Jiang Quinoa when he got up in the morning.

She fell stiff yesterday.

Jiang Quan covered her mouth and laughed at her, but still asked the little maid to go to the upper room and said, wanting to find an old servant woman to help her twist her head back.

Liu Shi got the letter, held his head and said weakly: "I also owed her in my last life." ”

Yao's mother bowed low, not daring to answer.

"Go and see, don't let them mess around. Can anyone move this stiff man? If it's serious, you can ask a doctor to take a look. In addition, choose an older mother-in-law to be assigned to their courtyard, and take good care of them for me. Don't mess with me if you don't understand anything. There are few people in the family, so you choose four maids to serve them, and it is best to choose a more stable one. Liu rubbed his head and said.

Yao's mother bowed her head, and comforted Liu, she didn't dare to delay, who knew what this eldest lady and Miss Chun'er would do, and hurried to Xinglan Courtyard.

It is said that Xinglan Courtyard is the largest in the remaining courtyard, so it is assigned to the eldest lady to live, but everyone can see that the lady is not affectionate to the eldest lady, and she didn't grow up in front of herself. The maids also have their own considerations, serving in the main house, the second lady, and the eldest young master's courtyard has a future, what is the way out of serving in the eldest lady's room who came from the countryside halfway? Won't it be possible to follow the eldest lady back to the countryside in the future?

Suddenly, there was an extra master, and the minds of the subordinates were also active, and many people had already found Yao's mother, and they were reluctant to come to the eldest lady's Xinglan Courtyard to serve in the gift.

There are only a few people in Jiangfu, if you don't come, someone will come, Yao's mother will go through the gifts and those who don't give gifts in her mind, and there are probably already candidates, and when she arrived at Xinglan Courtyard, she saw Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun'an sitting at the table peacefully, one of them covered their mouths and smiled happily, and the other rubbed their necks and frowned deeply, and finally there was no scene of her worry.

"Miss Chun'er, wait a minute, I have already asked someone to ask for a doctor, and the doctor lives at the mouth of the alley, and he will be there soon." Yao's mother said softly, she didn't dare to touch Jiang Chun's neck.

Before the doctor came, Yao's mother had already asked the four maids she had chosen in her heart to call over, including the little maid who had been taking care of Xinglan Courtyard for the past few days. At this time, the little maid had a plain face, and she looked like she was unapproachable.

"Mom, what about the maid I brought with me last time?" Jiang Quinoa didn't want to make it difficult for her, this little maid looked down on her and was unwilling to serve her, so how could she know why she let this little maid serve. Who wouldn't want to be in front of a smiling face every day?

Yao's mother turned her mind and remembered that Jiang Quinoa did bring a maid on the day she came, but at that time, the maid was injured, and she had not learned the rules, and her family background was not clear.

"I'm still recuperating in the back room, someone has been waiting for her in the past few days, and she hasn't been allowed to do her work, and the medicine is also taken every day, and it is estimated that it will be all well in a few days." Yao's mother said.

Jiang Qu pointed at the bitter little maid and said: "I don't want her, when my maid is well, just let her come to my side to serve, I have nothing to do anyway, now a maid can serve." ”

The little girl who was pointed out was overjoyed, and said in a brisk tone: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." After finishing speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she couldn't take it back, she glanced at Yao's mother timidly, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows.

Mercy? What's open? To let you go and not let you serve here is a blessing, and what has become of letting you serve here?

Yao's mother sneered in her heart, and secretly sighed that this maid was so stupid that her mouth was faster than her brain, and she saluted Jiang Quinoa, leaving three maids, and then took the maid away.

Not long after, Yao's mother brought people from Linglong Fang to measure Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun, and also brought several pieces of cloth for them to choose.

The steward of Linglong Fang was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Zhi's dress, but the young lady wearing cotton clothes was really rare? The main thing is that even the maid is not finely dressed.

Often walking around in the courtyard of the back house, she also knows that there are some things she has seen but can't come out, only carefully introduce the cloth and what clothes to embroider and what patterns are good, and don't say anything else.

I followed Wang Li to learn needlework for a year, not to mention that at least this horizon is broadened, at least the words of the steward can be understood by both of them, and they can probably outline the appearance of a ready-to-wear in their minds, and they chose two of their favorites.

When Yao's mother heard that both of them obviously liked it, but they only chose two bodies, she sighed in her heart that she knew that she was satisfied, not shallow eyes.

"Madame said, when the eldest lady and Chun'er first arrived in the capital, they should make two more clothes to wear, two spring shirts, and four summer shirts."

When the people in Linglong Fang heard this, they immediately laughed more enthusiastically, and let Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun pick four tricks by themselves, and then they went to the second lady's Xinying Courtyard with a smile.

Jiang Zhi listened to the maid's report, and dropped her pen angrily: "Why did the people from Linglong Fang go to her courtyard first?" ”

The maid saw that she lost her temper and hurriedly gathered the few pieces of paper that she had written, and when it was over, the pen was thrown out, and a little ink dripped all onto the paper, and the few pieces of paper that had been written with great difficulty were spent, and they had to be rewritten.

The second lady didn't like poetry and ink since she was a child, and the old man gave a gift to the Chen family, and finally made people agree that the second miss would go to the Chen family's private school to study with the Chen family's young lady, so as to get in touch with the Chen family's scholarly atmosphere. It's a pity that the second lady was embarrassed as soon as she arrived at the poetry writing class, and she said that she was dizzy when she touched the needlework, but she smiled when she heard the music. But Madame said that she learned to play the piano and zither just for the sake of edification, and she did not expect her to learn anything. As a woman, calligraphy and painting can broaden your horizons, and the best in female celebrity and cooking skills is the best way to settle down, and the second lady is strictly ordered to put down the piano and practice calligraphy. During that time, the second miss had to write five pages of big characters in the main room every night, and the second miss could go back to the room to rest after the lord nodded and said yes.

The second miss has been over like that for half a year, the second lady's words are practiced decently, and the temperament seems to be difficult, but only those who are close to them know that the young lady just hides those obedient temperaments, and when she encounters the thread, she can still pull it out, you see, this is not coming out. (To be continued......)
