Someone in the courtyard answered, and then a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out, tall and strong, with small eyes and light eyebrows, her facial features were still upright, her skin was fair, but she was a little freckled. Wearing a magnolia and emerald step, wearing a royal blue satin sprinkled gown, a white silk skirt, wearing a burnt blue earring pendant on her ears, and a pair of silver bracelets on her hands, she was dressed decently and refreshingly.

The cousin's name is Cao Lihuan, and when she saw Yingshuang, she smiled, and said, "Why is Yingshuang girl here?" Sit in the house and have a cup of hot tea. ”

Yingshuang said: "Didn't you tell the grandmother that the girls around you were not enough?" Grandma has been thinking about it, and it just so happens that there are a few girls in the house today, and I just left one for you. ”

Cao Lihuan recited a Buddha and said: "My good grandmother, she is really considerate of people, so I can read the words of the × of the family!" The cricket is a trick to smash the sheath coin

Yingshuang looked at Cao Lihuan meaningfully and said: "This is the eldest grandmother specially ordered to come to you, the newcomers don't understand the rules, and they want you to train more, don't let you run around." ”

Cao Lihuan's face changed slightly, and the girl who had just entered the house had not been trained yet, and she was actually sent to me, and it was clear that the dog's eyes looked down on people. In an instant, there was a smile on his face again, and he said loudly to the old woman at the door: "Mrs. Liu, take her to settle inside." ”

Mrs. Liu wiped her hands and led Xianglan to the house, Luo Xuewu was small, the house was beautifully furnished, there were not many toys, but it was extremely exquisite, the furniture was very new, and the style was ingenious. There is a calligraphy and painting case and a table of eight immortals in the Ming Hall, a room on the left is a bedroom, and a room on the right is set up for a banquet for guests. Mrs. Liu beckoned Xianglan to put the burden into the small cabinet in the corner of the banquet, and pointed to a soft couch set up by the window and said, "You can rest here at night, there is a set of bedding in the cabinet, wash it clean, and take it out to dry it before." ”

Xianglan thanked her repeatedly, and Mrs. Liu looked out the window, and saw that Yingshuang and Cao Lihuan were still standing outside, so she said in a low voice: "I am wronged that you sleep in this small side hall, there is a bed in the warm pavilion in the bedroom, but there is already a girl who occupies it." ”

Xianglan smiled: "It's just a place to sleep, I see it's very good here." ”

Mrs. Liu shook Xianglan and said with a smile: "My child, he speaks well and kindly, and he is so handsome, but I am afraid that the sisters in the house will not be able to compare." Ask her how old she is and who her parents are. Xianglan answered one by one.

For a while, Cao Lihuan entered the house, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly hid out. Cao Lihuan sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, stretched out her hand to call Xianglan over, looked up and down a few more times, and then said, "Do you know why you came to me?" ”

Xianglan was stunned and shook her head.

Cao Lihuan glanced at Xianglan, looked arrogant, and said lightly: "You are old, the girls in the house are less than ten years old when they come in, and they are obedient and easy to teach, at your age, the master doesn't like to want, and she is too charming, the old lady and the wife often say that it is not a good thing for the girl to be too glamorous, it is inevitable that the heart is high and the eyes are restless, and the rough and stupid are pleasing." Fang Yingshuang told me, if you don't do a good job, let me go back to my sister-in-law and kick you out of the house. But I think you look a little honest, and you have a kind heart to keep you, don't let me down. ”

Xianglan hung her head and said: "Girl Mingjian, I have never had any thoughts of 'high heart', I just want to serve my master safely for a few years before going home." She was a little anxious when she heard that she was going to be kicked out, but her face did not show a sound, and she glanced at Cao Lihuan again, and said that this cousin gave a killing stick as soon as she came up, and it seemed to be a thorn in the head, and she was a little prickly.

Cao Lihuan stared at Xianglan: "Just because you don't have this heart doesn't mean that others don't think so." You are here with me, and in the future, your words and deeds, actions, sitting and lying will be my face. If you make a mistake and become ashamed, others will poke me in the back and say that I can't train people. I used to have four mothers at home who taught me rules and manners, even if I had to talk about the rules in every gesture, but now even my great-grandmother has to praise me a few words when she sees me, and my people can't lose their worth and learn from those crazy girls. Don't disgrace me. ”

Xianglan hurriedly bowed and said, "I must serve well, be a man, and not embarrass Miss Huan." In my heart, I didn't think much of Cao Lihuan, Xianglan was a famous lady in the capital in her previous life, although her life changed drastically later, and she was reincarnated in a small family, becoming much more pungent and spicy, but her demeanor was different from others. She felt a little ridiculous when she saw that Cao Lihuan's behavior was not as good as the description of a small portal woman, but she insisted on flaunting herself with her daughter's money.

Cao Lihuan saw that the new girl was beautiful and elegant, and she was jealous in her heart, so she suppressed it fiercely first, and when she saw Xianglan being obedient, her face eased a little, and said: "I have more things here, but they are very clean, and there are two girls in the house, one is Hui'er, who has served me since I was a child, and the other Huai Rui is given by the old lady." These two are in charge of jewelry, the other is in charge of food, and there is a Liu Pozi outside, who was originally in Luo Xuewu. If you really do a good job, I will also speak to your sister-in-law for you, and you will be promoted to your level earlier, and you will have a future in the future. ”

Xianglan said respectfully: "I don't ask for any future, as long as I serve a good girl, it is my blessing to be safe." "I was surprised in my heart, I was also a cousin who came to the Lin family, if the family road was in decline and dilapidated, it would be reasonable to have only one girl around to serve, but the Lin family only brought a girl from the old lady's room to serve, which was a little meaningful.

Cao Lihuan said: "I don't know how you needle and thread? ”

Xianglan hurriedly said: "Girl, please look, the flowers on my skirt are embroidered by me." ”

Cao Lihuan heard that she was busy asking Xianglan to get closer to her, and when she looked at the patterns on the skirt, she nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Fortunately, I am short of a needlework here, Hui'er can only embroider some simple patterns, Huairui can't hold a needle, often I sit and embroider for a day, life and life are tired, you can embroider and save trouble......"

Before he could say a word, there was a girl's frolicking voice outside, which said, "It's good to have a good flower hairpin on your head, you just pull off the petals, and the tender flowers make you miserable." "That Dao" Huan girl is still in filial piety, how can I wear flowers, I see that this flower is blooming brightly, and it can't be cheap to others, even if we can't wear it, we can crush the petals to make rouge. Xianglan turned her face sideways and saw two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls walking in, one was slightly shorter and slightly fat, and the other was tall and strong, both of whom were not ugly or handsome, and were dressed plainly, but one wore a red gold hairpin on his head, and the other wore a red gold necklace with the thickness of a little finger around his neck.

The two girls couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Xianglan standing in the room, Cao Lihuan beckoned: "This is the new girl Xianglan who came here to serve today." Then he pointed to the short and fat one and said, "This is Hui'er." Then he pointed to the tall man: "This is Huairui." ”

Xianglan smiled and said, "Sister Hui'er, Sister Huairui." ”

Huai Rui grimaced, and nodded casually with Xianglan, which was regarded as a greeting. Hui'er looked Xianglan up and down, and saw that she was wearing old clothes, so she showed a little disdain in her eyes, twisted her head away, as if she didn't see Xianglan, and turned to Cao Lihuan and said: "Girl, this is the flower I just pinched in the garden, just for bathing and steaming rouge, and a few peach blossoms, let's put it in the bottle to enjoy and enjoy it." Xianglan sighed secretly in her heart, vaguely feeling that her life in Luo Xuewu was not so easy.

Cao Lihuan ordered Huairui to take a wooden box, which contained more than a dozen brand-new handkerchiefs, Cao Lihuan picked out two pieces, handed them to Xianglan and said: "You go and embroider these two handkerchiefs, the pattern was drawn by me yesterday, and put it on the dressing table, and the sewing box is in the dressing table drawer." Xianglan immediately took the veil, and when she was about to get the pattern, Cao Lihuan called her again: "You get the veil and go to the side hall to embroider." After speaking, he led Hui'er and Huairui into the bedroom.

Xianglan bowed her head and said, "Yes." Then he took his things and walked to the side hall, sat down on the soft couch, took out the needle and thread, and embroidered them according to the pattern. The pattern is also simple, the same is a treasure vase, the other is a longevity peach, pandan carefully selected the color, flying needles and threads, suddenly from the bedroom laughter, pricked up ears to listen again, and can hear someone talking.

Xianglan put down the bandage in her hand, rubbed her neck, and thought: "If a decent person has a new girl who is close to him, he must first reward something, or a few pieces of jewelry, or a few old clothes. This cousin didn't give a penny, but she gave some advice, sent a bunch of work, laughed with the two girls around her, and put me in this room, which is the meaning of intentional exclusion. The two girls in Luo Xuewu, who beat Hui'er who served beside her cousin, are arrogant and arrogant, and not modest enough, I am afraid they are a thorn. Huairui was given by the old lady, and she didn't say much, but she had a good relationship with their master and servant. My father is just the third shopkeeper of an antique shop, and he is helpless in the house, if the cousin girl is a little kind, for the sake of my hard work in the future, life will not be sad; If it's a master, it's going to be difficult......"

She turned her head to look out of the window, only to see Mrs. Liu holding a big broom in her hand, sweeping the ground into the babbling stream, thinking that she was also a noble girl, but now she has become a maid, cautious, looking at people's faces everywhere, just like this little red Ying who fell into the stream, drifting with the tide, fate is not at all, I can't help but feel a little sad, and then think: "Today's situation is a hundred times stronger than the original exile on the border and dying in a foreign land, what else can you not be satisfied with?" The glory and wealth have already been seen, and the family is ruined and people can also endure, Meng Po Tang has lived another life without drinking, and this bit of ups and downs can not be broken and lived in vain. In this world, there are ups and downs, fate is impermanent, and who knows what their fate is? Originally, when I was the first noble lady, how could I have imagined that I would be crushed into mud in the future? In the same way, now that I'm just a little girl, how can I see that there will be no turning over in the future! ”

Xianglan explained herself, and the melancholy sentimentality of Fang Cai blew with the spring breeze, turned into dust and smoke, and mustered up the spirit to pick up the bandage in her hand and embroider it with stitches and threads.
