Chapter 3: Greetings (1)

In the early morning of the next day, leave the red purple bamboo to serve and freshen up. Zizhu chose a gold threaded yarn skirt. Liu Qingsu looked at it: "Change it, I remember that there is a purple silk and emerald skirt that has not been worn yet." ”

After finishing up, Liu Qingsu took the green branches and went to the upper room. Looking at the familiar scenery along the way, there are mixed tastes. The body of a twelve-year-old carries the soul of a thirty-year-old, but I still miss my mother very much.

The peach blossoms that pop out of Fanghuayuan in the distance are like spring in costumes, beautiful and splendid. It seems to be the scene of my mother frolicking under the peach blossom tree with me in my mind, and the more I go forward, the more I dare not move forward. A gust of wind came, and the peach blossoms fell, and Liu Qingsu not only sighed, "Let's go." "It seems to be to yourself and to Qingzhi.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard a loud voice come out, "Mrs., Mrs., the girl is here!" Before the words fell, I saw a sturdy mother-in-law coming towards me." Girl, slow down, girl looks so good today. ”

"Yo, look at your old and full of energy, are you in good health? Mrs. Gu, you got honey locust cake again today? Qingzhi looked at Gu Pozi who was smiling and said.

"Miss Qingzhi, don't make fun of the slave maid, where did the slave get the honey locust flower cake, the slave maid just looked at the girl and was happy."

Liu Qingsu glanced at Qingzhi and Gu Pozi, "Okay, Qingzhi, don't make trouble, it's time to go." ”

Qingzhi touched the purse on his waist, and Liu Qingsu shook his head.

Mrs. Gu is just a rough mother-in-law who cares about the door, even if it was used by Mrs. Xian when she was alive, a first-class maid like Qingzhi didn't need to be too polite in front of her, and such a joke would not be harmful. A joke from Aoeda can also promote relationships, but the mother-in-law who guards the door is sometimes not to be ignored. It's just that Mrs. Gu is a rough woman after all, and it is too eye-catching for the mother-in-law to give a reward, after all, this is in the upper room.

At the door of the main room, Chunxiang opened the curtain, "Girl, hurry up and enter the house, it's cool outside." ”

"There is Sister Lao Chunxiang," Liu Qingsu followed.

I saw Yu sitting in front of him, wearing a large peony emerald green smoke yarn Bixia Luo, wearing a thin gold silk smoke emerald green veil, low sideburns obliquely inserted inlaid with pearls and jasper, and his posture was delicate. "Mama Wang, show the girl tea to warm up."

"Thank you, Mother." Liu Qingsu said unnaturally. In fact, Liu Qingsu is no stranger to this mother, but the age of the two generations is more than ten years older than Yu's stepmother, and the rules and etiquette cannot be violated, so there is always an awkward sense when called.

Stepmother Yu is the daughter of the seventh line of the Honglu Temple Qing Qian Da Xing, just because the biological mother is still favored, she married the father of the Shangshu from the first grade, three years ago, she is now only 20 years old, if she is in the next life, there will be no such embarrassment, after all, she is a thirty-year-old woman in her bones, and the word mother always feels weird.

Yu looked at Liu Qingsu and was silent for a long time. As a stepmother, the most difficult thing to get along with is the girl, the young master basically went to the outer courtyard at the age of ten, and the young masters in the house moved out of the outer courtyard early according to the difference between men and women at the age of seven, and then the old lady was kind and always worried about her grandson, so she moved out of the inner courtyard at the age of nine.

When the Yu family entered the mansion, the eldest young master Liu Yuanyi had long since stopped walking around in the inner courtyard. Most of the girls in this mansion were married at sixteen or seventeen. It is said that the previous Mrs. Min Gu was kept by the old lady until 18.

Liu Qingsu saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, even though she had nothing to say and couldn't do nothing, "Mother sent someone to ask Qingsu to eat yesterday, which Qingsu was greedy to play in the pavilion and felt unwell after blowing the wind for a while, so that she disappointed her mother's kindness." Qingsu didn't want to go, so she specially asked her mother to say goodbye today, hoping that her mother would be healthy. ”

Yu Shi heard Liu Qingsu's words a little tea, and he usually did not have such intimate words. Yu Shi had a lot of ironing in his heart, and the embarrassment just now seemed to be as if there was no zài. "Your child is really polite, I don't have children, and I'm not much older than you, whether it's mother and daughter, or sister, we're both companions."

Liu Qingsu hung his head speechlessly, so he saw his strange appearance, the concubine of a small family just lacked etiquette. How can a mother and daughter be compared to sisters, it is against the norm. Let's talk about it, I'm afraid that the Yu family will not be able to get over it. So I had to hang my head again.

So she didn't know it, Mama Wang looked at Liu Qingsu, who was hanging her head, and then looked at Yu, "Mrs. treats the girl's enthusiasm for the girl, the girl also understands, the wife is the girl's mother, and the girl has always respected the wife." ”

"Yes, Mother. A few days ago, I took the time to embroider the purse and hoped for my mother's guidance. ”

Qingzhu hurriedly took out the purse prepared in advance.

"Oh, I'll see."

"Madam, the purse embroidered by our girl is so good, and the embroidered bamboo is the same as the one drawn."

Yu also nodded with satisfaction.

"Mother, don't listen to Mama Wang's nonsense, if you keep talking, I guess you won't see me again, mother."

Yu and Wang Mama were stunned when they heard Liu Qingsu's words, and Yu said, "What does this mean?" ”

Liu Qingsu snorted: "I have been praised by you to the sky, how can you see you again." ”

After hearing this, Yu and Mama Wang couldn't help laughing. Yu smiled and pointed at Liu Qingsu and said, "You're just a narrow ghost." ”

"Nengbo's mother smiled and urged her to be narrow. Since the mother thinks that the Qingsu purse is well embroidered, how about letting her daughter show filial piety and give the purse to her mother? ”

Yu said: "That's a good dare, since you are like this, I have to express it, Mama Wang went to tell Xia He to prepare the green plum soup and rose cake that the second girl loves to eat." ”

"Mother Lao is worried." Liu Qingsu stood up and said to Yu's Follet.

"You're welcome, you're still so polite. Thanks to the kindness of the old lady, she had breakfast in each room before going to say goodbye. Otherwise, you won't be tired and faint with so many courtesies. ”

"That's what Mother said."

After the meal, Yu and Liu Qingsu went to the main courtyard to greet the old lady. The old lady Huang ancestor once made the emperor sigh with a "persuasion": "Huang Qingzhen is lucky, and the people are lucky!" Later, in the previous life, Liu Qingsu married Wei Yuan, and after the prince Xiang Shaohui, there was a casual conversation, and he mentioned it to Shaohui, and he was full of excitement, only to know that it was a letter of advice.

The old lady is known to be virtuous in the boudoir, it is said that the old lady admired the door seven times, the old lady and the old lady have always had a good relationship, only one concubine for decades, or in order to take care of each other's reputation, the old lady next to an ordinary third-class maid. Several of the children respected the old lady very much.

The old lady has always attached more importance to her sons and daughters, and because the old lady has become more and more convinced of Buddhism after her death, she has a lot of soft-heartedness. If there is no big mistake in the house, it will be passable when it comes to the old lady. In addition, it seems that his grandfather and the old lady are on good terms, and his biological mother died, and the old lady has always loved herself as a concubine, so she often attracts the dissatisfaction of the mother and daughter in the second room.

At the door, Mrs. Liu saw the mother and daughter: "The eldest lady is fine, and the girl is fine." "Mrs. Liu is not as strong and full of spirit as Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu is now more than sixty years old, the reason why she is still in the house is said to be that Mrs. Liu is the old man in the house, her son and daughter-in-law are gone, and a granddaughter has already been married.

The old lady has been quiet since the old lady died, and the old lady is sympathetic and stays in the house to guard the door. Don't look at it as a gatekeeper, if it weren't for the previous Liu Qingsu, I don't know that the old lady would gossip about Mrs. Liu in private from time to time.

"Have the second and third aunts arrived?" Liu Qingsu asked.

"It's been a quarter of an hour since I came, and the old slave gave you a message."

"I'm sorry for you." As he spoke, he walked towards the precincts.

In the hall, the second wife, Xue, and the third wife, Liu, looked at the fourth girl, Liu Wanxiang, and the fifth girl, Liu Anzhen, laughing and laughing from time to time. Mo Yu was pinching the old lady's shoulders and beating her back, Pei Lan was coming out of the inner hall with the old lady's hand stove, and the third girl, Liu Lingzhi, was standing quietly and quietly on the side, looking up, just in time to see Yu and Liu Qingsu, and she was blessed: Please aunt An, second sister is good. Liu Qingsu hurriedly turned away and replied, "Third sister is good." ”

The hall fell silent. Yu stepped forward to greet the old lady: "Please be safe for the old lady, the daughter-in-law is late and hopes that the old lady will forgive her sins." ”

"Sit down."

The Yu family looked at the first place on the left and right of the next head, which was occupied by the Xue family and the Liu family, and then his face darkened. Liu Qingsu had already seen these in her eyes, and the old lady did not speak. So Liu Qingsu stepped forward: "Say hello to the old lady, Qingsu is late." Then he said hello to the Xue family and the Liu family, and greeted each other with the four girls and the five girls. The old lady looked at Liu Qingsu and greeted her calmly and generously, without saying a word.

"Green Branches." Qingzhi stepped forward and handed the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" he had prepared earlier to Liu Qingsu, who picked up his hands and walked lightly to the old lady's side. "Old lady, Qingsu has prepared a gift for you, and the old lady is not allowed to complain that I am late."

"You don't blame people for your later life, my wife can't be bought by you lightly." The old lady said with a smile and picked up Liu Qingsu's gift by the way.

"Girl, you copied this?" The old lady looked at the beautiful hairpin and asked. The old lady knew in her heart that such words could not be achieved in three or five years.

"That's not it, the old lady just copied this step scripture, but I've been a vegetarian for a month."

The old lady heard Liu Qingsu's answer: "The second girl has a heart." "I have to continue to say something, and Grandma Sun came with a box.

"What is this taking?" Liu Qingsu asked, and before Grandma Sun could answer, she smiled and said, "Could it be the reward that the old lady prepared for me by the prophet of the future?"

The old lady listened to Liu Qingsu and scolded with a smile: "I haven't seen it for a few days, but I have become a monkey." ”

Grandma Sun looked at Liu Qingsu and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu has found someone to write from her and brought some gifts." The four girls and the five girls wanted to see it, so the old lady ordered the old slave to fetch it. ”

"No wonder the old lady was just happy? I didn't see Mama Sun just now, but it turned out that I went treasure hunting. ”

After saying that, the old lady laughed again. "I don't see the second girl for more than a month, but the second girl is a lot more lively. Want to get better? ”

"The old lady is worried, the old lady cherishes her granddaughter, and the granddaughter doesn't dare not take care of her body." Liu Qingsu said solemnly with a restrained expression. After two lifetimes, Liu Qingsu understood that since the death of his mother, if there is really anyone who really cares about him, except for the old lady, there are few who can really care about him.
