Chapter 276: Year Pass
I thought about it for most of the night. When she fell asleep in a daze, there was a faint white light outside the window lattice, and the sky was getting brighter.
But at the end of the year, the Zhu family had just given birth to a child and was still in confinement, so the daily chores in this house had to be handled by Ruosheng. She had to meet a group of housekeepers in the morning, and she had to go to Qianzhong Garden to see Mrs. Yun Zhen in the afternoon, even if she wanted to be lazy, she couldn't be lazy.
She just took a nap and then got up and called the maidservant in, washed and changed, and was busy for a while.
The kitchen brought morning food, and she only picked two crystal steamed dumplings to eat, and then put down her chopsticks. I haven't slept all night, and my eyes are full of green shadows, and my face is listless and even my appetite is broken. She sighed secretly, got up and left the table, and asked people to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Mother Wu happened to walk in with her body in her arms at this time, and when she saw this, she frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "The girl didn't sleep well last night?" But it's not warm enough in the house? Or is there something wrong with you? ”
She asked three times in a row, and then went to see the little maid who was serving Ruosheng's meal, her face was very solemn.
Seeing this, a few little maids didn't even dare to come out, so they hurriedly lowered their heads.
The atmosphere in the room was cold, Ruosheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom was too worried, it was just that I had a dream at night and didn't sleep peacefully." ”
"In the past, it was Lujiao and Qiu Niang who were on duty at night, but now Qiu Niang went out to run errands, and Lu Jiao asked you to send it to the girl of the bird, and there was no one around you to serve you for a while, where did you sleep well at night." Mother Wu shook her head when she heard this.
Ruosheng said: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, it won't take a few days for Qiu Niang to come back." As for the green bananas. It's a real nuisance. After a pause, she laughed and said to Wu's mother: "Find a tooth woman and buy a few more people to replace you." ”
The population of the second room is simple, and there are not many people who were originally left to serve, but recently they have successively called Ruosheng to send some out, and now the manpower left is a little tight. In addition, Ruoling was born, there was an extra little boy in the house, and there was an extra bird slave, and the number of people who served him gradually became insufficient.
The New Year's Day is busy green. It's even more cramped.
Now the bird slave still lives in the wood rhino garden. Ruosheng simply sent the green banana to take care of her first, but she was used to using the green banana herself, and she suddenly left people, and she didn't fit in. Sooner or later, you'll have to get people back.
"It's early tomorrow morning. You bring Ya Po in. I'll pick two personally. Ruosheng had a plan in mind, so he set the time.
Mother Wu replied with a respectful yes, and stepped forward to unfold the big in her hand. Draped it over her.
The little maid on the side also hurriedly handed over the hand stove.
The heavy snow has been falling for a long night, and now it doesn't stop, and it's freezing outside, so I don't want to go out if I change my usual life, but now I'm yawning, and I can't be lazy. She took the stove and raised her feet to go out, but when she passed by the window, she suddenly heard the sound of silver chains trembling.
Immediately after, there was one sound after another - "It's cold!" It's cold! ”
Ruosheng was amused, turned his head to look at the parrot on the shelf, and said angrily: "You also know that it is cold? ”
The copper coin flapped its wings and shouted in a stacked voice: "The girl is afraid of the cold!" The girl is afraid of the cold! ”
I don't know which little girl gossiped about it, so I remembered it.
Ruochang sighed, and his voice was melancholy: "You still know that you are worried about me." ”
"Know! Know! The copper coin was not ambiguous, and he immediately learned it when he heard the words.
Ruosheng laughed again, shook his head, and walked past it to the door.
When she arrived at Mingyue Hall, she asked her parents to say goodbye, and she went to see Ruoling again. The child was asleep, white and fat. Just looking at it like this, she was already full of joy, and all tiredness and sleepiness were gone. cheered up, she went to see a group of housekeepers, and all the big and small matters were ordered, and then she went back to close her eyes and recuperate.
As the heavy snow stopped in the afternoon, she accompanied Mrs. Yun Zhen out again.
Standing in front of the newly erected tomb, she lit incense with her own hands, looked at the green smoke, and asked softly, "Did you name him back then?" ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen lowered her head, and her eyebrows looked unpredictable: "Wuji, his name is Wuji......"
Ruosheng knelt down in front of the grave, regardless of the ice and snow under his knees, wet and cold, but firmly inserted the incense in his hand in the incense niche and called "Brother Wuji".
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and it seemed to have an indescribable vicissitudes in the snow.
Mrs. Yun Zhen was stunned, and tears fell like rain.
I thought of the grassland of Dongyi, and I remembered the person in my heart.
I remembered the sky at that time.
She hadn't seen that blue since.
……
Ruosheng stood up, walked to her side, grabbed her arm, and stood silently with her for a long time.
It wasn't until there were finally a few patches of snow in the sky that they returned to Pingkangfang. Before getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Yun Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Ruosheng's arm. If he was puzzled, he looked back, but saw that his aunt's eyes were slightly red, and he smiled at himself: "Ah Jiu, thank you very much." ”
Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his nose was sore, and he almost cried.
Madame Yun Zhen took her into her arms and let out a long, heavy sigh.
……
So that night, Ruosheng could not sleep peacefully.
Obviously sleepy, but she just couldn't sleep.
First, I thought about my aunt, secondly, I thought about Su Yu, and when I thought about it, I couldn't help but think of a few other things. Where is Yuyin, who escaped from Lian's house and disappeared without a trace, now? Why did Lu Yuan design to slander his aunt in the Pei family's affairs?
Although she looks like her family is fine, her aunt is fine, and she is even more fine, she is still very uneasy in her heart, as if all this is just the beginning.
Such thoughts have always lingered.
If you are sleepy, you will come up and go down.
Back and forth, like sleep, like a dream.
When she got out of bed the next morning, her face was already very ugly.
Seeing this, Mother Wu asked her to rest for a while, and said, "Is this Ya Po sent back first?"
But Ruosheng knew that even if he lay down, he probably didn't have the heart to sleep, and since Yapo came, he still had to take care of it. So she had the tooth woman come over, and told the big maid to go and invite the finch slave.
Because it was a little girl, the group of people brought by Ya Po were also good, Ruosheng didn't waste much effort on it, and soon selected a few to send to the bird slave first, so that the green banana could teach it well.
Afterwards, she called out a few second-class maids in her room, and asked the finch slave to pick two of them and bring them back.
The finch slave hesitated for a while, but in the end, he only picked one named Liuying.
Although Ruosheng wanted to stuff her with some more people, she only chose one, so she gave up, and only knocked a few words on the flowing fireflies, and then asked the bird slave to take the person back.
Left and right to wait until the New Year, the bird slave moved out of the Muxi Garden, and this person had to be resettled, so there was no hurry at this time. (To be continued.) )
