Chapter 3: Sisters
As an orphan girl, if you want to survive in this strange Hou Mansion, you must first understand the living environment and the people around you. This is the belief that Chu Huiyu has been adhering to since she woke up. And in the past few days, she is also paying attention to these maid mothers who are serving her.
Emerald green, crimson needless to say, are Chu Huiyu's two big maids, emerald green temperament is more straightforward, and she is more casual in front of the master, so she wants to win the favor of the original owner. On the contrary, Crimson doesn't talk much, has a cautious temperament, and doesn't like to go to Chu Huiyu, just do her part. This is also where Chu Huiyu is more puzzled, it stands to reason that if she can survive the big girl, she must have the blue eyes of her master, but Jiang Hong is not very enthusiastic about her master, unless she has some origin?
In addition to these two big girls, there are also three second-class maids in Chu Huiyu's room, poetry, painting, qin'er, and four rough little girls.
And it is Mother Fang who is in charge of these maids. Fang's mother was originally Duan's dowry girl, and later became the housekeeper of the four rooms, so she became the housekeeper's mother and Duan's confidant. Later, Chu Huiyu gradually grew up, and the Duan family only had such a daughter, so she asked Fang's mother to go to Chu Huiyu's room, firstly, to take better care of Chu Huiyu, and secondly, to train the maids in the room to prepare for the marriage in the future. Such a mother who thinks about her daughter everywhere, Chu Huiyu really can't think of how she is willing to abandon her daughter.
And Fang's mother is Duan's companion, Lao Tzu is in the capital, and her husband and children are all born in the four-room family, so the family relies on the four-room to make a living.
Thinking about it this way, Mother Fang can be regarded as a credible and usable person......
Chu Huiyu secretly decided to call Fang's mother to put her heart in her heart.
Suddenly, I heard Emerald Green open the curtain and said, "Sister Dan has come to see the girl." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a girl about twelve or thirteen years old wearing a light blue vest and a silver-white skirt walking in.
"Third sister, is it good? Yesterday, I wanted to come to see you, but Yinling happened to meet Emerald Green, and I knew that the second aunt and the third aunt were here with you, but I didn't come over. ”
"Let my sister take a look, this face looks much better, don't you know, you fainted in the mourning hall that day, but it frightened people."
Chu Huiyu hurriedly said: "Thank you second sister for your concern, Hui'er didn't expect her health to be so bad, she was sick for so many days..."
"Look at what you said, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt went so suddenly, if I don't think I will survive. Or my sister is strong. ”
Does that mean I should go with my parents? Chu Huiyu slandered, "My sister had a broken heart before she woke up, but after she woke up, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt cared so much about Hui'er, Hui'er couldn't bear to hurt the hearts of the elders, so she survived." Presumably the second sister is reluctant to lose my sister. ”
A trace of panic flashed in Chu Danyu's eyes, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister, this is making fun of me." We're sisters who broke bones and tendons, and it's too late to pity you. ”
As he was talking, he heard Emerald Green say, "Sister Duo'er has come to see the girl." ”
A beautiful girl of about ten years old walked in.
"It turns out that the second sister is also here."
Chu Danyu said: "I knew that the fourth sister was also coming, so I asked you to come together." ”
Chu Duoyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Who doesn't know that the second sister is now in charge of the family's middle feed with the eldest aunt, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to make an appointment with my sister." ”
Seeing that the two sisters were about to fight, Chu Huiyu hurriedly said: "Ouch, good sister and good sister, you guys are talking to yourself, but you have left my patient in the cold." Those who don't know think that you are looking for a reason to visit me, but in fact, you are borrowing my words to speak for yourself. ”
Chu Danyu took the opportunity to say: "You dead girl, you just didn't say a few words to you, you arranged your sister instead, see if you should fight." As he spoke, he stretched out his pink fist and was about to destroy Chu Huiyu.
Chu Huiyu hid while begging for mercy.
For a while, the usual dullness and depression in the room were swept away.
Mother Fang listened to Chu Huiyu's energetic voice in the room, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Miss, have you seen it?" Although Sister Hui was a little weaker in the past, she survived the death of both parents. And why can't you think about it so much, and go with your uncle? ”
Thinking about this, the smile on Fang's mother's lips turned into a bitter smile.
After a while, Danyu and Duoyu said goodbye and left.
Seeing that the people were walking away, Emerald Green said: "This Dan girl is just a concubine born to an aunt, and she is holding a fight with us, and she doesn't look at whether her background is worthy or not." ”
Crimson said: "My aunt is also a master, emerald green, Mo Yan is talking nonsense behind the master's back." What's more, Miss Dan has been recorded in the name of the eldest lady, and her identity is no worse than our girl. ”
Hui Yu nodded, "That's what Crimson said. Although I have a share, but now that I am lonely and helpless, how much better can my situation be? ”
"Girl, don't say that." Fang's mother walked in.
"Although the old lady is no longer there, the girl still has her grandfather's family. Who doesn't know the Duan clan of Dingguo Mansion in the capital? The news of the death of the old lady has already been sent to the capital, and it is estimated that someone will come to the funeral in the Dingguo Mansion in the near future. ”
Hui Yu's heart moved, and she still had a grandmother to rely on, "Mom, it's better to tell me about the situation of my grandfather's family, and I might as well have a plan." ”
Mother Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of your grandfather's family, it is much more related to the Hou Mansion of Subei. ”
"The Duan clan was originally the capital wang clan, as early as the previous dynasty, there were people in the clan who were officials in the court, your great-great-grandfather even worshiped Jiuqing, and then the emperor of the previous dynasty became more and more mediocre, and the court was smoky and miasma, and your great-great-grandfather retired bravely and resigned and returned to his hometown."
In order to completely demarcate the boundary with the government, he even moved his family back to his hometown in Jiangnan and became a squire. It is also stipulated that the children of the clan are not allowed to enter the court as officials. ”
Not long after, the emperor of the previous dynasty was extremely mediocre, and various places revolted, and the imperial army was unpopular and retreated. And thanks to the foresight of your great-great-grandfather, the Duan family was able to retreat with his whole body. ”
"The imperial court can't suppress the rebel armies in various places, and the rebel armies from all walks of life occupy the king's land, and the wars are continuous, and the people are struggling to make a living."
And Duan's deep family background was also targeted by several rebel armies. Although your great-great-grandfather was dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the previous emperor, he was unwilling to betray the court, so he never joined the rebel army. Soon, however, Jiangnan was also occupied by the rebels. ”
"Your great-great-grandfather was unwilling to join the rebels, so your great-grandfather led his people to flee while he was martyred......"
"Your great-grandfather endured his grief and fled with his family, but when war broke out, where was there a place to live?"
