Chapter 5 Conduct
At night, the lights were still on in the Jinxin courtyard, and a pan-headed woman wearing a stone blue butterfly-patterned gown hunched over the back door and rushed into the back room.
She took a small step, the front foot just out of the back cover room, was stopped by a wonderful person wearing a blue tuanhua gown, she bowed her body, from this look over, only to see that the skirt of the person who came was embroidered with large clusters of plum blossoms, she smiled immediately: "Green clothes, it's me." β
Green Yi twisted his brows and looked left and right, "Mama Li? Why are you here, shouldn't you be waiting at the second girl's place now? β
Green Yi is a first-class maid, and she can afford it compared to Mama Li, a second-class mama.
"Youxi'er is watching, what about the eldest lady, I have something important to say to the eldest lady." After that, Mama Li hurriedly walked to the main courtyard.
"You're crazy! You can't see the eldest lady today, even if it's a big thing, you have to put it aside tomorrow, the eldest lord is resting in the lady's room at night, if you dare to spoil the lady's business, don't pick your skin! Although the green clothes lowered their voices, they were still stern.
Mama Li tinkered in her heart for a while, and simply said to Green Yi: "Now that the second girl has asked about the things sent by the second master, you find an opportunity to talk to Madame, I'm afraid that if it drags on for a long time, the second girl will see the clue." β
"Okay, okay, I know, you go back quickly, you don't know this now." Green Yi said impatiently, and hurriedly sent Mama Li down.
When Mama Li came out of Jinxin Courtyard, her face was not very good, and she muttered: "If it wasn't for the old lady who brought you up, you would have today, ungrateful!" β
In the dead of night, the Shen Mansion rested.
There was only one Sheep's Horn Palace lamp in Shen Rong's house, and because it was still cold these days, Shen Rong rested in the west room with a fire kang.
Dongmei made a bed in the open space five steps away from the kang.
She stood up cautiously, and saw that Shen Rong seemed to be asleep, and was about to blow the palace lantern, but unexpectedly, a soft sound came from her ears.
"What day is it?"
Dongmei's face was slightly sluggish, and she leaned over to see that Shen Rong was still closed, she was a little strange, how could the third girl ask such a question, she said: "Back to the third girl, it's March 11." β
March 11, March 11, Shen Rong remembered that the day of the church meeting was set for March 20, and it was held in the middle hall of the front yard.
Now it is the eldest lady who is presiding over the Shen family and taking care of some things in the grange.
At the end of the meeting, the old lady only ordered a few, and the rest was decided by the eldest lady.
The mother was not familiar with Yong'an City, so the old lady naturally didn't think about letting her do this.
"Dongmei, I remember that Mama Fang said that there were servants from White Horse City in the Shen Mansion before?" She asked.
"The girl is talking about Cuilian, Sister Cuiyun, they were originally left by the lady to serve the second girl, but now they have a small maid in the front yard, and they can't enter the inner house." Dongmei said.
Shen Rong knew that they were running errands in the front yard, and Cuilian was the little guy who guarded the door in the front yard, and now she had become a first-class housekeeper in front of the door.
Cui Yun Xu is the steward of the carriage and stable.
There are not many people who can be used by Shen Rong now, Cuilian and Cuiyun came out of White Horse City, loyal to the master, she thought about it, simply sat up, and invited Dongmei to come over and talk.
"Dongmei, you said that I am with my mother, who is your master."
"Slave maid..."Dongmei's scalp was numb, "The slave maid was picked into the house by the lady, and was assigned to the girl's room by the lady, and the lady told the slave maid to take good care of the girl, and the girl is the only master of the slave and maid." β
Shen Rong bent the corners of his mouth, and a face approached her: "In that case, you don't need to tell Mrs. SΓΉ what I tell you in the future, understand?" "There are some things that no one will believe when she says them.
On the second day, Dongmei asked Sang Zhi to enter the house to wait for Shen Rong to get up, and she went out of the inner house early.
When I returned to the Shen family, it was inevitable that the old lady would have a morning every day, and the old lady Shen would follow the rules, and the time to get up early to eat was three quarters of the hour, and the time to ask the old lady for a moment of peace, after inviting the old lady, if the old lady did not keep the meal, then they could go back to the courtyard to eat.
Shen Rong changed into a azure green weeping willow satin dress, put on a light blue peony pattern jacket on her head, combed a drooping mustache, and her long black hair was scattered on the back of her shoulders, making the original heroic little face a little more pretty and lovely.
She trotted down the corridor with her skirt in front of her and ran to her father's house.
"Oh, third girl, why are you here, come into the house." Mama Fang happily opened the curtain for her, and said to the inside: "Madam, the third girl is here." β
"Ah Rong, come over and let Daddy hug you." Shen Pingcheng has always doted on his daughter, he half-bent over and beckoned, seeing Shen Rong shaking his head, he joked again: "Is it that Ah Rong is fat, I'm afraid that my father won't be able to hold it." β
"No, Ah Rong has grown up, and Mr. An said that men and women can't kiss, so you can't let your father hug you." Mr. An is the teacher that Shen Pingcheng invited to them in White Horse City.
"Hahahaha." Shen Pingcheng listened, straightened up and laughed, he saw Zhao walking out of the east room, and hurriedly said to her: "Huaiqiu, did you hear it, this girl, hahahaha." β
Zhao glanced at him: "You are not going to take office today, and you are not afraid of being late, is the carriage ready?" β
"Jia Dai will do it, I'll go first, you can also go to Fuhua Courtyard, don't let your mother find fault." Shen Pingcheng settled the Zhao family, pinched Shen Rong's face again, and strode out of the house.
She looked at such a father and mother, and she really couldn't imagine what would happen in the future.
"Mother, I'll call my sister." She said and ran out.
After calling Shen Lan, they went to Fuhua Courtyard together.
I asked the old lady to say goodbye in Fuhua Courtyard, but the old lady didn't say anything, only left the fourth lady Li, and let them go back to eat separately.
Inside the house, the Li family squeezed the old lady's shoulders and pinched her back, and said attentively: "Mother, let me ask you something, do you really plan to let Sister Lan and the Qi family marry." β
"Where do you ask, I just see that you are not a safe person." Old Madam Shen moved her body and dodged Li's hand.
"Mother, I think you are partial, as soon as the second brother and sister-in-law come back, you don't care if we live or die, Sister Lan has promised the Qi family such a family affair, so when Sister Rong grows up, she won't turn the sky upside down! Pity our mother and daughter, I already knew that I would follow Pingyuan to Jianghang! β
"You! You're going to me off! Let's go, let's go now, no one will stop you! The old lady's face was pale, and she trembled with anger.
Li's heart suddenly sudden, and he hurriedly knelt under the old lady's knees and hugged the old lady's thighs tightly: "Mother, mother, I'm not in a hurry, I'm talking nonsense, I am willing to leave, that is, I am willing, Sister Lin and Sister Zhi are not willing to give up grandmother." I don't have the courage of my second sister-in-law, and I can't do without it. β
When it came to the events of the year, the old lady was disgusted with Zhao's slightly softened attitude, and she made a straight face: "The second child, that kid is confused!" Thanks to me saying good things to your second aunt again, this old face is ruined! I heard that Chan'er's child is not married now. β
"I've been waiting for my second brother for many years, and now I'm an old girl of twenty-five or sixteen, how can I marry so easily." Li deliberately lowered his voice and said.
