Chapter 13: Greetings
Caiyun asked as if unintentionally, "Why did the girl suddenly want to say hello to the eldest lady?" ”
Hui Yu innocently looked at the shadow of the colorful clouds in the bronze mirror, and said: "The eldest aunt has worked so hard to handle the funeral for the fourth room, and I should go to ask for peace." It's just that I was recuperating in the yard before, and I haven't been able to do so. Now that I've recovered from my illness, it's natural to go and say goodbye. ”
"The girl has a pure and filial heart, no wonder the eldest lady loves you." Caiyun spoke, his fingertips moving nimbly between his hairline.
After a while, Hui Yu's new bun was combed. Looking at the pretty and dignified self in the mirror, I was very satisfied. couldn't help but praise: "It's not a loss, it's the eldest aunt's side that is used to serving, this craft is really good." In the future, the job of combing your hair will be left to you. ”
Emerald Green has been standing on the side and watching Caiyun comb her hair, hearing that Huiyu has given her work to Caiyun, and feels that she has been compared to Caiyun, so she said: "Sister Caiyun's craftsmanship is really outstanding, as soon as she comes, she will enter the girl's eyes, and my sister will have to learn from my sister in the future." ”
Caiyun listened to Emerald Green's sour words, and then looked at the unwilling look, knowing that she was only afraid of being hated, so she said modestly: "How old is the slave and maid of Emerald Green sister, and when my sister hones for a few more years, the slave and maid will not dare to be ugly in front of my sister." ”
Seeing that Emerald Green was muttering and talking again, Hui Yu spoke out in time and said: "Since Caiyun has come to Baihuayuan, it is natural to share the work between you and Crimson, and you are commensurate with each other, so you should get along like sisters in the future." ”
Colorful clouds and emerald green are all in response.
When the master can't reward and punish all the time, he has to pay attention to a balance, so Huiyu asked Emerald Green to find a clothes to go out.
Emerald Green got the job, and as if she was trying to save face for herself, she found a suit of clothes from the ground at the bottom of the box.
Hui Yu saw that the crescent white slipper-edged cardigan with a long skirt of the same color was still plain and dignified, so she let the emerald green wait to wear it.
Before going out, Cuilu stepped forward to hold Huiyu's hand and said: "There is a lot of distance from Baihuayuan to Mingsheng Pavilion, and the slave maid is supporting the girl all the way, and you are tired." ”
Hui Yu couldn't laugh or cry, she hadn't said she was going to take her there, but someone put it on the pole. This emerald green, looking at the present, has no second thoughts about himself, but this arrogant and intolerant temperament is really not good, maybe there will be bad things in the future. You'll have to train well in the future.
After finishing his eyes, he looked at Caiyun who was standing quietly on the side, and thought that this master could be brought with him, so he said, "Caiyun should also go together." ”
Caiyun answered yes and hurriedly followed.
The group walked towards Mingsheng Pavilion.
In the Mingsheng Pavilion, Chang listened to the servant woman report on yesterday's matters, and there were Shi Ma and Yan Ma standing on the side, one holding a pair of cards, and the other holding a pen and a notebook to keep accounts.
By the time the last servant had finished speaking, an hour had passed.
Chang's tense nerves slackened, and a wave of exhaustion hit his heart.
Originally, it was quite tiring to manage the middle feed of the long room, but now it has to take care of the affairs of the four rooms, which is even more laborious. And the affairs of these four rooms, if they are managed well, others think that they should take it for granted, if there is a little errand, it will inevitably be criticized by the elders of the clan, which is really thankless.
Chang felt even more tired when he thought about it, supported his forehead with his hands, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Mother Shi saw Chang's tiredness, and asked cautiously, "Big lady, but do you want to move back to the Red Maple Courtyard?" ”
Chang opened his eyes and was about to speak, when he heard the servant woman outside say, "The third girl is here to say goodbye." ”
Chang couldn't help but wonder. Why did you come to say hello all of a sudden?
Thinking about it, he instructed Mother Shi: "Quick, invite the third girl in." ”
Mother Shi responded, hurriedly walked to the door, lifted the curtain and welcomed Huiyu and his party in.
Chang beckoned to Hui Yu and said, "Sister Hui, come and sit down at the eldest aunt's place." ”
Hui Yu obediently sat next to Chang's.
Chang Shi held Huiyu's hand and said, "Baihuayuan is not close to Mingsheng Pavilion, you are just in good health, why did you come here?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Caiyun and Emerald Green and said sharply: "How did the two of you serve the three girls, on such a hot day, let the three girls run all the way to Mingsheng Pavilion, if there is a mistake on the way, you can afford it!" ”
Caiyun and Emerald hurriedly knelt down to confess.
Huiyu explained: "Don't be mistaken, auntie, it's the clouds and the emerald green, Hui'er insisted on coming to ask for peace. Originally, Hui'er was ill, but her aunt was sympathetic to Hui'er, and Hui'er had been recuperating in Baihuayuan. Now that Hui'er is in good health, she knows that her aunt is helping to deal with the affairs of the house in the fourth room every day, and she doesn't come to ask for peace, isn't it a big unfilial piety. ”
Chang said softly: "You said that you are a child, so polite to the eldest aunt." Although you are now cured, you are already weak, if you come and go and get sick again, won't your aunt have to worry about you even more?"
Huiyu blushed and said embarrassedly as if she had been caught by her elders: "It's Hui'er who didn't think about it, but after this time, Hui'er also felt that her foundation was too bad to even keep a wake for her parents." So Hui'er made up her mind that she would take care of her body in the future and walk around more. I thought that by coming to say goodbye every day, I could not only fulfill my filial piety to my aunt, but also loosen my muscles and bones. ”
"It turns out that Sister Hui came to ask me for peace, and it's true that she wants to come out and breathe." Chang joked Hui Yu.
Huiyu's face turned even redder, and she shook Chang's arm as if she was forgiving, and said, "Auntie, don't look for Hui'er's mistakes again." ”
Chang's looked at Huiyu's coquettish appearance like a little daughter, and his heart couldn't help but soften, when Duan's was there, the two rooms were closely connected, and Chang's had no daughter, and he had always regarded Huiyu as a daughter, and now he felt a lot of pity for her, and said: "Okay, the eldest aunt is also joking, your filial piety, the eldest aunt is too late to be moved." Then he looked at the colorful clouds and emerald green that were still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Okay, you two also get up, and the three girls will come out to greet you two in the future, but you two will have to serve carefully." ”
Caiyun and Emerald Green hurriedly responded, and Fang dared to stand up.
Hui Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Chang had acquiesced to her to come to ask for peace. Then he looked at the Ming Sheng Pavilion.
I saw that the Ming Sheng Pavilion was very simple, there was a mahogany chair and a mahogany coffee table in the middle, and there was a picture of the longevity of a pine crane hanging on the wall behind the chair, and there were two chairs on the left and right sides of the main seat, and there were no other furnishings, which was obviously the appearance of the conference hall.
Chang sat on the main seat in the middle, with Mother Shi standing on the left hand side, and a mother on the right hand, with a long face and slender eyes, she was shrewd and neat at first glance.
This is Yan's mother. Hui Yu thought to herself.
