Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Slave and the Maid Obey the Order

"My sister asked me to play the guzheng in "Fengming Flower Moonlight Night" for the third sister?" Knowing Mu Yu's intention, Shen Qingli was a little surprised.

Where would she play those ancient instruments?

"What? You don't want to? Mu Yu looked at her with some displeasure.

Well, she didn't blame her for not doing it last time, who asked her to imitate that Wanyue, and the prince turned his face with her!

But this time, shouldn't she have to shirk again?

"Naturally not, because the time is tight, I'm afraid I won't be able to play well." Shen Qingli is really unconfident.

"Brother and sister, who doesn't know that your Shen Mansion is a century-old family, and you women in the family, which one is not a master of all four arts." Mu Yu looked at her expressionlessly, "Now, you say that you can't play well, because you can't look down on the sisters of our Hou Mansion!" Or do you have to wait for the prince to come forward and invite you? ”

Who are you showing it to on the shelf!

"Miss, where does our young lady mean this, the young lady just thinks that she hasn't touched the guzheng for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will have hands, so she said so." Seeing that Shen Qingli seemed to be a little embarrassed, Taozhi said, "Young lady, you might as well practice your hands in private first, get familiar with it, and then go and play with the ladies together." ”

Without waiting for Shen Qingli to answer, Mu Yu immediately answered: "That's it, don't shirk, don't forget, there are still two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's really boring to be hypocritical." With that, he walked out like another gust of wind.

"Momozhi, who asked you to promise to come down for me in a big way?" Shen Qingli couldn't help but blame, that, she's not a real family woman, right?

"Young lady." Taozhi persuaded seriously, "Don't shirk it, the slave knows that you are angry with the prince and don't want to participate in these things in the house, but after all, the eldest lady is the eldest sister-in-law of the young lady's closest relatives, if the two of you get along well, the prince will naturally be good to the young lady." She always thought that the young lady, as the new daughter-in-law, could not think about living her own life, but should learn to get along with her in-laws' family and integrate into the family as soon as possible.

Girl, that's not the point at all, is it?

The point is that she doesn't know what to play the zither!!

If it's an instrument, she can only play the piano, but here? Have it?

"That's right, young lady, you said you couldn't play well, who would believe it! Who doesn't know that the young lady is proficient in all four arts, and she is a famous talented woman in our Jingzhou, and the slave will take the guzheng for you. Cuizhi interjected, and turned around happily and walked out of the house.

It's over, paper can't contain the fire.

What about the heroines in the novel who encounter this kind of thing?

Pretending to be crazy? Amnesia?

It doesn't seem to work, what if the man convulses again and puts her in the forbidden room?

The autumn geese and thrush are still closed!

I heard that except for the regular delivery of food and water, no one else is allowed to see me.

Alas, in this deep house, human life is not as good as a favored dog.

It wasn't until the rosewood zither engraved with the patterns of flowers, birds, grasses and insects was placed in front of Shen Qingli that she withdrew those bloody thoughts, and under the eager gaze of the peach branches and cui branches, she plucked the strings with her hands in a decent manner.

As the string of pleasant timbre sounded melodiously in her ears, Shen Qingli suddenly felt a sense of blessing to her soul, and her fingers became more and more skillful in plucking the strings, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered to turn over the memory of the original owner, and her heart was excited.

You don't have to pretend to be crazy, you don't have to pretend to have amnesia, she does know how to play.

Moreover, it also plays extremely well.

"How? I'll just say that the young lady played well! Tao Zhimei said with a smile, looked at Shen Qingli, seemed to think of something again, and said busily, "By the way, young lady, the material of the fragrant cloud yarn brought back by the prince last time is of the best quality, and the slave maid will send it to the sewing room in the house, I heard that the ladies in the house have already sent the material over." ”

"Okay, then send it!" Shen Qingli felt relaxed for a while, and then remembered the water-red fabric, and touched it casually at that time, the texture was soft and delicate, and the color was also what he liked, which was indeed good.

Yongding Hou Mansion has a special sewing room for the masters in the house to cut clothes, the housekeeper's mother-in-law surnamed Li, saw Taozhi holding the fabric in his hand, immediately frowned, carelessly picked his nails and said: "Taozhi girl, this is two days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, the time is so urgent, if you can't make it in a hurry, delay the young lady to enter the palace for the banquet, what should I do." ”

Who doesn't know if the prince doesn't want to see this newly married second young lady, and whether he can gain a firm foothold in the mansion, it's hard to say.

Who would want to stay up all night making clothes for such a person?

"Mama, originally the second young lady didn't need to make new clothes, but she had to play on stage temporarily, so wearing clothes made of fragrant cloud yarn can be unified with the costumes of the ladies in the house, and there is Mama Lao." Momozhi said and hurriedly stuffed some broken silver for her.

"Miss Peach Branch really tormented us, this is originally our business, how can we collect extra cash?" Mama Li didn't take the silver, but reluctantly took the fabric over, and said lukewarmly, "We accepted the fabric, and we will do our best." ”

So some money to send away the food?

Taozhi's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, and when she saw that she didn't answer, she had to take it back stupidly, and when she returned to the house, she was embarrassed to tell Shen Qingli, but she just complained to Cuizhi.

"Hmph, how many of these grandmothers in the house are not high and low, and it is not that the prince does not like the young lady to treat us so fearlessly, one day, when the young lady has a firm foothold in the mansion, she will clean them up." When Cuizhi heard this, she was also annoyed.

"Forget it, I'll go and prepare a few more clothes for the young lady, if the clothes of Xiangyun yarn can't be finished, it's good to have a preparation." Taozhi sighed, "At the moment, Bi Tao and Chun Tao are not here, just the two of us are left, and the two of us must serve the young lady wholeheartedly." ”

"Uh-huh, that's." Cuizhi nodded and said busily, "I'll go and count the young lady's jewelry hairpin rings." ”

Xia Shi saw the water-red fabric thrown aside at a glance in the sewing room, and asked casually, "Mama Li, have you been busy lately?" ”

Mama Li and Mama Yang are godparents, and Mama Li's son Yu Mutou is Mama Yang's godson, and the two are constantly in private and are very good.

Yu Mutou grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, his heart and eyes are more active, and he is the son of a family, so he was asked by Mu Yunche two years ago and became a personal servant.

Because he sprained his foot when he went out with Mu Yunche last month, he has been recuperating at home and did not go to Chunhui Pavilion to serve.

"The young lady is here." To the master of the god-in-law family and the son of the housewife, Mama Li naturally greeted each other with a smile on her face, and replied, "Didn't the prince bring back some fragrant cloud yarn from Youzhou a few days ago!" Because the ladies were going to the palace to attend the banquet, they sent all the clothes to make clothes, and the slaves and maids had to rush overnight these days. ”

Seeing that Xia's eyes had been lingering on the water-red fabric, he said, "Shicai Qingxinyuan also sent the material, and the slaves and maids have to stay up late tonight." ”

"Well, then you have to work hard, be sure to do a good job of clothes, so that they can also show some limelight at the palace banquet and add some light to our Hou Mansion." Xia stepped forward and touched the soft and delicate water-red light veil, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

When my sister returned to her parents' house last year, she once wore a bright red fragrant cloud gauze dress, and when she walked, the skirt was light like a cloud floating, and her eyes were very red at that time.

Last time in Yiqing Garden, she fell in love with this color at a glance, but who knew that she was given Qingxinyuan by her mother-in-law, and her heart sank again, she was only three years older than Shen, and she was not old, why did she only get a cyan one.

She doesn't like cyan again.

Mama Li saw that Xia Shi was touching the material and refused to let go, her eyes turned, and she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Young lady, Xiangyun yarn is not as good as other materials, and the loss is the most difficult to control. ”

Xia Shi understood, cleared his throat and said: "The second young lady is not better than other ladies, the identity is naturally more noble, as the housekeeper of the sewing room, you naturally have to do it yourself, but you can't delay the second young lady to enter the palace for the banquet." ”

"The slave obeys." Mama Li couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth slightly.
