In the early morning of the second day, Xianglan took a large pot with a long mouth and stood in the courtyard, watering the flowers while silently reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra". It was summer, and a few impatiens bloomed next to the stones on the side of the courtyard wall, and a few girls in the big room were pinching flowers around them, and they wanted to go back to dye their nails.

Xianglan has always been able to avoid the girls in the big house, watered the flowers with her hands and feet, dragged the pot with her head down, and walked back along the shade of the tree, and suddenly heard someone call her: "Sister Xianglan, Sister Xianglan." ”

Xianglan stood up and looked back, but saw that it was Zhao Yuechan's eldest maid Yingshuang who was standing behind the flower shelf and beckoned to her, with a smile on her face. This frost is not beautiful, with high cheekbones and pointed chin, a bit of a sharp appearance, and the facial features are much softer when you laugh. Xianglan saw that it was Yingshuang who called her, her scalp suddenly became numb, and she had to walk over again, and said with low eyebrows: "Sister Yingshuang called me something?" ”

Yingshuang smiled while eating dates: "Huh, what can I do?" But I saw you and talked to you. Stuffed the jujubes wrapped in the handkerchief into Xianglan's hand and said, "Eat jujubes, eat jujubes, this jujube was picked and dried last autumn and hidden in the urn, only the masters took out a few grains when they made porridge and soup, and they can eat it in this season, which is quite expensive." ”

Xianglan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's so rare that my sister should keep it for food." ”

Yingshuang stuffed it into Xianglan's hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat it, you can eat it, I still have it." ”

Xianglan couldn't, so she had to accept it, and thought to herself: "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft." What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Yingshuang? The uncle personally gave an order, saying that Aunt Lan was heavy, and she didn't have to go to the main room to set rules in the future. These days, the eldest lady has cleaned up the internal affairs, dismissed many people, and beaten and punished. The grandmother is as honest as avoiding cats and mice, and she doesn't even get out of the door. What is this Yingshuang close to my little girl? ”

Yingshuang saw that Xianglan was bored eating dates, and she didn't speak, so she cleared her throat and said: "My sister is really diligent, she gets up early in the morning to water the flowers, is there a lot of work in the East Chamber?" Is it heavy or not? I looked at it coldly, as if my sister was alone inside and out. ”

Xianglan was vigilant, and said with a smile on her face: "I just entered the mansion, I am young, I don't know anything, and I still need to be taught everywhere, how can I be arrogant inside and out, but I am just obedient, I will do whatever my aunt asks me to do." ”

Yingshuang said: "What's the problem when you're young?" Although I can't do it, I have served in front of my grandmother for a few years, and if my sister doesn't understand anything in the future, just come and ask me. If anyone is bullied, just sue me. After a pause, I wanted to hear Xianglan say some words of thanks and politeness, who thought that Xianglan just smiled innocently, lowered her head to rub the corners of her clothes, and then said tentatively: "I don't know what Aunt Lan eats and drinks on weekdays, what she likes things, our grandmother often chatters, saying that Aunt Lan is pregnant and working hard, and she is worried about giving her something, but I don't know what to give." ”

Xianglan grinned: "I don't care about my aunt's food, and I don't know what she likes to eat, but occasionally she goes to the kitchen to serve a dish, and she is clumsy." ”

Yingshuang was anxious, and said secretly: "This Xianglan looks a little aura, but I didn't expect it to be a stupid big sister, I don't know if I ask three questions, I just know how to smirk...... Or maybe she's a shrewd? If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, you have to see that it is profitable to speak? She was personally assigned by the uncle, so she must know about the uncle, so she should ask a few more questions. Thinking about taking out an old silver butterfly hairpin from his sleeve, he stuffed it into Xianglan's hand and said, "This hairpin was rewarded to me by my grandmother the year before last, and I wear this style again at this age, it looks too tender, and my sister will take it if she doesn't dislike it." ”

Xianglan hurriedly excused herself, and said in fear: "How can this be done?" ”

Yingshuang smiled: "What's the matter, what kind of gold and silver jewelry is there there for grandma?" A few days ago, they gave me a gold bracelet. She also told me that she saw her sister so smart and diligent, and she wanted to open her mouth to Aunt Lan and bring you to the big room. "Forced the hairpin into Xianglan's hand.

Xianglan snorted: "Grandma is wrong to love, how can I be so good." ”

Yingshuang asked again: "Does Uncle go to the East Chamber every day when he comes back from outside?" ”

Xianglan said: "I don't know if it's every day, sometimes the uncle will look at the east chamber." Whenever the uncle comes, it is Chunling who goes to serve, I just do a needlework, bring a cup of tea and hand a water or something, and I don't always go to the front. Speaking of this, Yu Guang saw Chunling standing in front of the window, his eyes swept to this side frequently, and said, "I should go back." Stuffed the hairpin into Yingshuang's hand: "No merit is not good, this hairpin sister keeps it and wears it." With that, he turned around and trotted all the way back.

When he returned to the tearoom and just put the pot down, Chunling came over and asked, "What did Fang Yingshuang say to you under the flower shelf?" ”

Xianglan said: "Yingshuang first invited me to eat dates, and praised me again, and wanted to give me a silver hairpin." I asked my aunt what she likes to eat, drink, and do, and if my uncle comes every day. I'm my aunt's girl, how can I sue them? said that she didn't know anything, and the hairpin was returned to her. As he spoke, he spread his hands, "There are still a few dates here, you can take them and taste them." ”

Chunling sneered: "I knew that those demons and monsters in the big house were not well-intentioned, and I knew that I didn't want to see them, so I attacked the girl you just came, bah, blind their hearts!" Yesterday, Mrs. Tete sent a red note to deliver tonic medicine, and asked her aunt's body, and instructed a few words, if you ask the grandmother to inquire about the aunt's affairs, what moths are born, we will not be able to eat and go around. You are doing a good job today, in the future, you will not be involved with the people in the big house, keep the dates for yourself, and I will help my aunt and grandmother to go to the garden for a walk. When he saw that Xiaojuan was wiping the lattice of the window with a rag, he said, "It's a good day today, stay a while and take out the quilt in the cage to dry." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

As soon as Xiaojuan saw her leaving, she immediately said to Xianglan: "What do you mean by 'you are doing well today', she has such a big breath, she holds a shelf every day and puts a score, she regards herself as a first-class girl, you are also second-class, why are you afraid of her?" ”

Xianglan stuffed the dates in her hand into Xiaojuan's hand and said, "If she is willing to be a big girl, let her go, and do something with her." ”

Xiao Juan pouted: "Usually she always supports me to do this and that, and it is clear that she pushes me to do the work that she should do, and then runs to the master to ask for credit...... Xianglan, you have to be promoted to a higher level, just press her head. ”

Xianglan picked up a jujube and stuffed it into Xiaojuan's mouth and said, "Save it quickly, you can't stop your little mouth if you have something to eat." Laughing and lining up the head of the little juan, she turned around and entered the house, standing in front of the bed and let out a long sigh, even though she felt that she had no future in the East Chamber, but she would never go to climb the grandmother, how could she be joking with the tiger? She poured half a bowl of warm tea and ate it, opened the cage, took out a jade-colored gown she had made yesterday, and pinched her teeth on the back of her clothes.

Xiaojuan chewed the dates and followed up, sat down on the edge of the bed, drooped his head and said: "I thought that I was angry at the grandmother's end, but I would get out of it when I got to Aunt Lan. ”

Xianglan smiled: "Isn't the day like this, one pass at a time, you think that you have broken through the Flame Mountain, and the back is Yangguan Avenue, you can enjoy it at will, but when you put your heart down a little, you realize that there is a big oil pot in front of you, the old troubles have not gone, and the new troubles have come out again, and there is no time to stop." As he spoke, he kept idle in his hands, flying needles and threads.

Xiaojuan blinked: "When you don't stop?" Isn't that too boring to live? ”

"There is a saying that 'life is unsatisfactory eight or nine', it can be seen that there are only one or two things that are wishful, think more about 'one or two', think less about 'eight or nine', and the heart will be open when you plan less. Originally, I was at my cousin's place, doing the work of three people by myself, and I was often harshly criticized and squeezed, and I picked up the rest of my food and clothing, but now in Aunt Lan's place, there is less work, more silver, no one shows her face, and I can often get the master's reward, but there is a Chunling who loves to steal the limelight, but it is nothing compared to the original. Let her steal the limelight, why fight for this time. Xianglan bit off the thread and shook her clothes.

Xiaojuan snorted: "Why let her rob it?" I can't swallow this...... Besides, what are we here, haven't you seen your wife's house, Sister Hongjian, Sister Luqi, majestic, first-class big girl, deputy lady in the Lin Mansion, not only has her own house, but also calls the girl, the monthly rate is several times higher than ours, and there are rich rewards. Do you think Aunt Lan is generous with a silver ring? The bracelet that Mrs. admires on the red note, and any one of them is red gold. ”

Xianglan laughed: "You envy the decent maids around your wife, maybe they are still jealous of the young lady of the Lin family, one by one, they are served by people in fine clothes and jade food, and in the future, they will marry a good family and be a grandmother to enjoy happiness; The young lady of the Lin family may be jealous of the daughter of the emperor's relatives, and she was born as the county lord and county lord, and they have to bow down when they see it, and be careful to flatter them...... People have to die more than others, we just have our own ideas in our hearts, why compete with others? If you want to live a comfortable life, you must first cherish your blessings and be content. ”

After Xianglan said this, she saw that Xiaojuan was still ignorant, and knew that she was still young and had not yet tasted the hardships of life, so she smiled and pinched Xiaojuan's face.

Xiaojuan pounced with a "whoop": "Bold, dare to flirt with a good woman!" As he spoke, he reached out to squeak pandan, and the two rolled into a ball of laughter.

At this moment, I heard someone in the hall shouting, "Where are the people? Where have they gone? ”

Xianglan hurriedly pushed away Xiaojuan, straightened her clothes and sideburns, and went out to take a look, only to see Lin Jinlou sitting crookedly on the begonia beauty couch, the official hat thrown on the begonia table next to him, leaning on two autumn fragrance color python cushions behind his back, wearing the regular clothes of military attachés, and wearing a gold eight-treasure belt around his waist, which made him more and more majestic, with broad shoulders and broad back, and a pair of green satin boots on his feet, half-squinting, and lazy.
