Chapter 12 Countermeasures

Since that day, Xianglan has continued to do her duty, but her hands and feet have slowed down. The needlework that is done in half a day on weekdays is now unhurried to do it for a day or two before it is delivered; In the past, the sprinkling and sweeping in the room could be done in more than half an hour, but now it is done for an hour without hurry; When you go out to run errands, you don't trot back as fast as you used to, but walk slowly, enjoying the scenery in the garden. Because she was slow to work and always busy, Cao Lihuan couldn't send her anymore, so she went to support Huairui and Hui'er. If there is another person who asks Xianglan to help, she will help with the small things of Sesame, if it is to change the way to push the work to her, Xianglan will immediately refuse: "I still have work in my hands, I can't be busy for a while, I'm really sorry." ”

She shirked this time, and her life became easier, but Cao Lihuan saw that she was becoming more and more unpleasant, and reprimanded her at every turn, Xianglan only listened silently, her attitude was still very deferential, and she was thinking about how to find the right time to paint two more paintings and sell them for money.

A few days later, Mrs. Zeng fell ill and died. Because it is a long life, it is a joy and mourning. For a time, the filial piety of the house was one color, and even the cats and dogs had to be wrapped in white cloths. Lin Changzheng, the master of Lin, took his wife and children back to Jinling for funeral, because the big house was about to return, and there was a lot of discussion in the house for a while.

"The old lady of the big house is back, and the second master, the third master, the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady will also come back." Hui'er took out a small clay pot with a five-color pattern from the cabinet, dug up a spoonful of tea leaves with a small silver spoon, brewed it with hot water, and held the cup in the palm of her hand.

"That tea is the tribute tea that the grandmother gave to the ring girl, just such a small point, you have to eat it if you are greedy, be careful to let the ring girl see it! Last time, you stole two osmanthus round cakes, or I lied to you. Huai Rui smiled and scolded on the rattan bed, "Besides, if they don't come back, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"How is it irrelevant? I heard that the eldest lady is a powerful person, and she is not on the same page with the eldest grandmother, as soon as she comes back, it will be a dragon and tiger fight with the eldest grandmother! There is also Lin Jinting Lin Sanye, who is the only male in the second room, or crawled out of the belly of the second wife, two years ago, he went to Beijing to study with Master Lin, and this time he also came back to mourn, I heard that he was born a talent, and he is a beautiful man. ”

Huai Rui snorted: "Phew! The girl who is not ashamed turns out to be thinking about a man. ”

Hui'er held her head high: "What's wrong with it?" Don't think about it? Lin Jinxuan, the second master of the big house, although he is a concubine, I heard that he is also a very elegant talent, but he has not been in good shape since he was a child, and he is always sick, so he stayed in the capital and failed to come back this time. When the third master of the pavilion came back, the girls in the house all heard the wind, and they all changed their tailors to make jewelry, and they all secretly competed. ”

Huai Rui sneered: "In the filial piety of Mrs. Zeng, all of them are dressed plainly, and they are not allowed to wear flowers to wipe their faces, what other tricks can be tossed." ”

Hui'er ate and smiled: "There is a saying that 'if you want to be pretty, you are filial', I saw the silver hairpin and the golden hairpin and the two of them got together to embroider on the white clothes with snow-blue thread, and there was a silverware to wear in the filial piety, and the style sent to me to see, tsk, it is really novel and good-looking, I want to play two to wear it." He said and greeted loudly, "Xianglan, do you want to play jewelry?" I asked the golden hairpin, playing four hairpins can be cheaper for sixty dollars, how about the two of us piecing together and playing two each? ”

Xianglan listened to the conversation between the two in the hall with her ears, and when she heard Hui'er calling her, she walked out with an embroidered bandage and said with a smile: "This silver hairpin on my head is still handy." ”

"How is that the same? Your hairpin has long been black, the style is old and old, and you still wipe it with a muslin cloth over and over again, if it were me, I would have lost it a long time ago. Hui'er sneered and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, "Sensei said that hairpin, you are covered in old clothes, and you look tattered and rustic, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of our girl if you go out indecently?" ”

Hui'er always spoke with thorns, Xianglan endured it, but there was a playful smile on her face: "I entered the house late, I didn't catch up with the new clothes, I am not as rich as Sister Huairui's family, there is no shortage of food, drink and clothing, and I am not as decent as Sister Hui'er, and there is always a reward in front of Miss Huan." I'm counting on the poor girl who lives on the moon example, a silver hairpin hairpin is enough for my baby, but it makes Sister Hui'er laugh, I know that Sister Hui'er has a lot of good things in her hands, if you think I'm poor, why don't you give me a few things? He secretly said in his heart: "Hui'er is known as 'goose plucking', her own eating, drinking, and things are all killed, and she also likes to go around eating and drinking, stealing Cao Lihuan's food, I just said this, I must have killed her." ”

In her previous life, she was in the Shen Mansion, and the sisters in each room competed for favor with their elders, and even helped her mother to make plans to suppress the concubines and concubines who fought for power in each room. Hui'er's little tricks are really not enough for her to see. She has just entered the Lin Mansion, her foothold is unstable, she doesn't want to provoke right and wrong, and she has been a human being in two lives, and she has long been too lazy to compete with others, so Hui'er's intentional or unintentional verbal provocations, she just didn't hear it, but she can't let people bully and insult at will.

Hui'er suddenly lost her voice, her face was red and white, obviously angry. Xianglan smiled at Hui'er and said, "I'm just talking and playing with Sister Hui'er." He turned around and went back to embroidering, but he thought to himself: "Sure enough, she is still a casual little girl, and these two sentences are blocked and speechless." If it were me, I would definitely pick out two things from the jewelry for others, and such a mind will not go far in the future. ”

Hui'er was choked by Xianglan like this, and she was a little annoyed, and she was about to stab a few more sentences, but she saw Cao Lihuan coming back from outside in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she said loudly: "It's amazing!" ”

Huai Rui was taking a piece of bacon to tease the dog, and when she saw Cao Lihuan coming in, she hurriedly pulled the dog out of the door, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Lihuan sat down behind the Eight Immortals table, took a breath and said, "Brother Parrot's child has fallen, it's Chunyan's medicine!" ”

Pandan was taken aback, the needle almost stuck in her finger, and she hurriedly stood up and walked out. Huairui and Hui'er were stunned, and said one after another: "Really? Who is this to listen to? ”

"Of course it's true, it's the case that Lou's cousin personally decided, and Chunyan recruited herself. A few days ago, Lang Zhong diagnosed that Brother Parrot had a sign of slippery fetus, so he prescribed a prescription for the decoction to take, Chunyan was at odds with Brother Parrot on weekdays, so he secretly found an opportunity to open the decoction of the girl, and added a handful of tiger and wolf medicine to the medicine. Xu is too powerful, Brother Parrot got out of the womb as soon as he went down to the bowl, and now he is bleeding non-stop, tsk, it's really pitiful. Cao Lihuan said and took the tea that Hui'er poured for her, and drank it all, "I just went to the Zhichun Pavilion, and when I saw that the gate was strictly controlled, Mrs. Xu, who was holding the Zhichun Pavilion, asked for a long time before she told me." ”

Xianglan couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Chunyan?" ”

Cao Lihuan sneered: "What else? The uncle sent a message to sell it far away, and her family also followed to eat melons, and the uncle said that he would not keep any of them. The eldest cousin is twenty-five years old, and his knees are still empty, so it's easy to have a bloodline and let people kill him, if it were me, I would beat that cheap girl to death. ”

Huai Rui said: "Probably thinking about a little love in the past, Chunyan served the uncle in the end." ”

Hui'er pursed her lips and said: "I think she should be unlucky, several times I went to the Zhichun Pavilion to deliver things, and I saw her standing in the courtyard to train the little girl, so not majestic, which of the girls in the room of Uncle Lou is like her?" Chunyan just relied on Grandma Lou to look at her a few times, so she was so rampant, and now that she is doing this, Grandma Lou can't keep her. ”

Xianglan felt that this matter was by no means so light as "selling from afar", thinking of the characters like Chunyan's flowers and tender willows, she actually buried herself in a ghost's heart, and she tried all kinds of calculations and competitions but ended up with such a fate, and even affected the family, even if she and Aunt Lu did not agree, it was not a deep hatred, they were just poor people who begged for a living in the world.
