Chapter 57: Preparation
When Hui Yu walked into Anhua Hall, she saw that Liao was surrounded by two mothers from the red silk rouge shop, and Jiang Hong sat on the side instead, smiling faintly.
Seeing Hui Yu come in, Crimson stood up and saluted.
Huiyu hurriedly helped her up and said, "It's already a boss, don't give a big gift in the future." ”
Liao also said: "That's it, we will come and go often in the future, and we can't stand it if we give you such a big gift back." ”
The Liao family spoke, and the crimson responded.
When the old master and servant meet, they naturally have to pay attention to the current situation. Hui Yu said: "Since I moved to Yurong Courtyard and been taken care of by my second aunt, I have been going to school every day, or playing chess and piano with my fourth sister at home, which is more comfortable than before. ”
Of course, Liao Shi was very useful when he heard this, and said: "This is also my fate with Sister Hui'er, if I change to someone else, I don't know what it will become......
Crimson said: "This is called not a family not entering the door." It's a pity that I'm out of the house and can't serve by the third girl's side. ”
Hui Yu said again: "A few days ago, the eldest aunt was sympathetic to the small number of people in Yurong Courtyard, and she was afraid that she would not be served well. Crimson, you can be the boss with peace of mind. ”
Crimson also said: "Second lady, look at the third girl, this newcomer has only been here for a few days, and he dislikes me as an old person." When I go back, I don't want to be disgusted in front of the third girl, and when I come in the future, I just need to find the second lady. ”
Liao Shi was happy to hear this, and said: "That's not okay, if it weren't for Sister Hui'er, the old master, who made your rouge, we wouldn't be able to do business." ”
Hui Yu also said: "It's still the second aunt who loves me and says a fair word." This maid went out of the house to open a shop, and I was still doing business for my own family, and I was sad for a long time when my aunt was gone..."
Liao was taken aback and asked, "Which aunt is gone?" Why didn't I hear you before? ”
Huiyu replied: "It was Aunt Yuan by my father's side, and Zhuangzi who was sent to the bottom of Qishan on the outskirts of the city died violently not long after, and even the maid who was originally serving also committed suicide. I thought that it was not a big deal that this aunt was gone, and the second aunt was in a hurry, so I didn't come to tell her. ”
Liao sighed: "It's clean when this son goes, and it's a blessing." ”
Crimson also said: "It turns out that when I was in the fourth room, I also had a few encounters with Aunt Yuan, but I didn't expect that in just these days, there would be a difference between heaven and man." I don't know where Aunt Yuan is buried, so I can take the time to worship and worship. ”
Hui Yu heard Crimson's words, and knew that she should understand her hint about Aunt Yuan's death, so she turned her head and asked Cui Ludao: "Did the messenger say where Aunt Yuan was buried?" ”
Cuilu replied: "I haven't said it, I guess you have to ask the people in Zhuangzi to know." ”
Crimson then said, "Then let's talk about it another day." He said to Liao's again: "Second lady, it's not early, and it's inconvenient for me to bother anymore." I'll sort out the goods and send them to the house in two days. ”
After speaking, he said goodbye to Liao and Hui Yu.
In the next two days, Huiyu lived like a year. My heart is anxious, and I have to pretend that nothing is happening on my face, although I try my best to pretend to be calm, but I still wander from time to time.
Duo Yu saw that Hui Yu had something on her mind, and said with concern: "What happened to my sister in the past two days?" It's so soulless. If you don't speak up and listen, maybe my sister can help with ideas. ”
Hui Yu said: "It's okay, maybe the weather is a little hot, and I don't sleep well at night, so I don't have enough energy." ”
Tian Wuniang happened to pass by, listened to it, and sneered: "Don't be nervous and can't sleep because of the exam at the end of the month." ”
Liang Xiuming on the side also helped: "It's not, I can't handle all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if I'm not in a hurry, it's really heartless." ”
Duo Yu was angry and said, "Could it be that the talents of the two sisters are very good?" I remember seeing you last time I was at the bottom of the line. ”
Tian Wuniang snorted and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to get the last seat this time, someone is at the bottom in advance, so you don't have to worry." ”
Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang couldn't listen to it anymore, and one said: "It's really embarrassing to laugh at fifty steps and laugh at one hundred steps!" The other said, "This is not an exam yet, so you are talking ahead, aren't you afraid of making jokes?" ”
Liang Xiuming is not a vegetarian either, and countered: "Two people who can only dance knives and guns, what kind of fun are they making around!" ”
Hui Yu was already upset, and when she heard them quarreling, she was even more angry, slapped the table, stood up and said, "What is the point of let's talk about talent and ability, we have to judge the gentlemen to score the superiority." Since the two sisters look down on Huiyu so much, Huiyu has the courage to compete with the two sisters, but if Huiyu defeats the sisters, please apologize to Duoyu, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt! ”
Tian Wuniang said: "It's better to compare, so that you people can be convinced!" Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting and female red, but if there is one thing where you win me and Xiuming, we will accept defeat. However, if you lose, Duo Yu, eldest aunt, and second aunt will have to admit their mistakes! ”
Let Duoyu admit their mistakes? What's wrong with them? Hui Yu hesitated to respond. Who knows, the aunt actually said: "Okay, just say it." We believe in the strength of Hui Yu. ”
Duo Yu and the second aunt also responded one after another.
Having won the trust of so many people at once, Huiyu suddenly felt a little flattered, and also felt a huge pressure, so she couldn't bear it for a while, so she took care of herself, it seems that in addition to finding out the cause of Aunt Yuan's death, she has to redouble her efforts to prepare for the war......
Hui Yu can foresee that she will be busy in the future.
In the afternoon of the same day, the red silk rouge shop sent the rouge over. In addition to the rouge ordered, Crimson also gave Liao's, Aunt Fan, Duo Yu, and Hui Yu specially customized rouge. For example, Liao's rouge box is a peony pattern, and although the rouge inside is also divided into six small grids, the whole can also be spelled into a peony. Peony is the king of flowers, and Liao Shi saw nature and praised Crimson for her ingenuity.
Hui Yu's is a gardenia. When it was sent to Yurong Courtyard, everyone praised it one after another. Hui Yu is secretly secret, everyone sent a box of rouge, and she took so much effort to distinguish it, it is estimated that there is a mystery hidden in it. So when she arrived at the main house, Hui Yu carefully picked the bottom, and sure enough, it was another note, which read: "It has been checked, and the details will be informed at the end of the month of the clan exam." ”
Huiyu was depressed, scratching her heart and lungs and waiting for such a sentence, and she couldn't know the specific situation until the end of the month, which was really grinding. Perhaps the situation is too complicated to be explained in person. But who will tell themselves? I also chose such an eye-catching time as the exam at the end of the month, when Chang's, Liao's and some other noble ladies will be present, how can we meet safely?
Forget it, I don't want to, since Crimson and they have decided so, they have their own way, besides, Crimson should say this way, it should show that he will not be in danger now, otherwise with Crimson's loyalty, he will not abandon himself.
Thinking so, Hui Yu decided to wait and prepare for the exams at the end of the month.
Every month for this exam, a lady from the Northwest City will be invited to be the judge, and there are also male students from the men's school across the stream as the public judge, which can be described as a good opportunity to spread the name and win the reputation. Therefore, the girls will work hard to prepare for the exam, especially Liang Xiuming and Tian Wuniang, who made a war contract with Huiyu, and they forgot to sleep and eat and practiced hard every day.
Hui Yu is also holding back a lot of strength to assault, but each door is not half a star, although Duo Yu and the eldest aunt and the second aunt are all helping to prepare, but it is not enough to rely on such a few days of on-the-spot preparation.
In desperation, Huiyu can only change her thinking, and her goal is to surpass Liang Xiuming and Tian Wuniang in more than one course, then choose the most sure and short-term improvement project, and the rest of the bottom will be at the bottom.
Duo Yu and the eldest and second aunts also felt that this method was advisable, and after discussing with the four of them, they agreed that Fuqin and painting had the hope of achieving good rankings. In addition, Duo Yu is also good at these two, and can also give Huiyu some pointers.
