Chapter 10: The Maiden
Meng Shi hardened her heart, no matter how others persuaded her, she had to ask An Ruolan about her sins.
An Shiyan had to smile helplessly, saying that the Meng family was too kind and fair, and the Xue family gritted his teeth on the side and agreed.
It was the time to hold the lamp, and the snowflakes that had been resting for a long time fell again, and they were fluttering one after another.
Xia He took the umbrella back to Xinyue Garden, went to the east wing along the corridor, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door answered with a "coming", and soon opened from the inside, a little girl with a double bun poked her head out, saw Xia He, and greeted affectionately: "Sister Xia He, why are you here on a snowy day?" He let people in the door.
Xia He smiled, took the umbrella, and stepped into the threshold while dusting off the snow beads on his body, and said with a smile: "Madame sent me to invite the sixth lady to come over and talk." ”
"Unfortunately, Miss is resting." The little maid took the umbrella in Xia He's hand.
Xia He paused, "This hour is the rest?" Didn't you say you woke up in the afternoon? But feeling unwell? ”
Everyone in the house knew that Miss Six was stunned by Miss Xian's rolling down the stairs, and she woke up in the afternoon.
"I don't know." The little maid shook her head ignorantly, "Miss woke up and rested again quickly, except for the injury on her foot, she didn't say anything uncomfortable." ”
Xia He was thoughtful, with a little anxiety on his head.
While talking, the two entered the outer hall, and it happened that a mother-in-law came out of the warm pavilion on one side, saw Xia He, and hurriedly led people in.
The charcoal fire in the warm pavilion was very vigorous, and when the curtain was lifted, Xia He felt a heat wave hit, accompanied by bursts of fragrant fragrance, which made people feel comfortable all over. She moved her cold hands and feet, feeling the stiffness of the cold wind and her hands and feet again.
Inside, Liu is leading three or four little girls in the room, sitting around the kang to do needlework, the atmosphere is hot, Xia He smiled and stepped forward to say hello, everyone got up and gave up their seats, and wanted to bring tea and fruit.
Xia He stopped and said, "I'm not busy, I'll come and talk to my wife, and I'll be back in a while." He picked up the girl's tie and looked at it, praised it a few times, and then asked with a smile: "Miss Six hasn't gotten up yet?" ”
Liu is an honest woman, delicate appearance, docile and amiable, because of her practical and careful work, she was selected as the nurse of the third young master and the sixth lady, and everyone in the house knows that she is more concerned about the sixth miss than the fifth lady.
Hearing this, Liu replied worriedly: "When I woke up in the afternoon, I suddenly got hot again, so I rested again, and this will not get up yet." Then he asked, "Why did Miss Xia He come?" ”
Xia He frowned and said, "Madame sent me to invite Sixth Miss to come to Jinguiyuan." ”
Liu also frowned, she roughly guessed why Madame sent Xia He over, but it was windy and snowy outside, and it was freezing cold, and Miss Six was just sick, and she was frightened, if she went out for a walk, she was afraid that she would be sick again.
Just in embarrassment, an eleven or twelve-year-old maid hurriedly stood up and said crisply, "I'll go in and call Miss to get up." With that, he bypassed the door and went inside.
It was An Ruolan's other close-fitting big girl Huang Ying who spoke.
A touch of displeasure flashed in Liu's eyes, then disappeared again, and said to Xia He with a smile: "Miss Xia He, let's sit down and drink hot tea first." "Poured the tea myself.
Xia He responded with a smile and sat down by the kang.
Huang Ying lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, and saw that the bed curtain was hanging low, and the big girl Bailing was guarding the bedside, so she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Sister Xia He in Madame's room has come to pass the word, quickly call Miss to get up,"
"But Miss......" Bai Ling glanced at the bed tent in embarrassment.
Seeing Bailing's hesitation, Huang Ying pouted impatiently and said, "Forget it, I'll come by myself, so I don't have to delay my wife." ”
She was worried about Miss's reproach, so she asked Bai Ling to summon her, and she couldn't wait to see Bai Ling.
The left and right are for Madame, and Miss will not blame her.
Thinking like this, Huang Ying lifted the bed tent, but coldly faced a pair of cold eyes, only to see An Ruolan sitting at the head of the bed, her eyes were clear, her face was expressionless, and she had obviously been awake for a long time.
Huang Ying was immediately frightened, knelt on the ground with weak legs, and called out tremblingly: "Little, Miss......"
Although An Ruolan is young now, her temperament is already notoriously cold and arrogant and harsh, and no one in the house talks about her unchanged face, as her personal maids, Bai Ling and Huang Ying are the most deeply aware and most afraid of her.
At this moment, stared at by An Ruolan's cold gaze, Huang Ying was quickly scared into a cold sweat, even Bai Ling on the side was also afraid, and even his breathing was light.
Huang Ying knew that she had touched the scales, and the cold gaze made her unable to raise her head, and the air around her suddenly became cold, making her shiver.
I don't know how long it took, Huang Ying suddenly felt a lightness on her body, and An Ruolan looked away.
"What's the matter?" Huang Ying and Bai Ling heard a very light and faint question.
Huang Ying hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from the corners of her forehead and replied, "Sister Xia He came to deliver a message for Mrs. and is sitting in the east room." ”
"Hmm." An Ruolan answered lukewarmly, lifted the quilt, and Bai Ling and Huang Ying hurriedly stepped forward to wait for her to get up.
"Mother Liu asked you to come in and call me?" She asked again.
Huang Ying's hand serving her shoes trembled, and she couldn't answer with her head down.
An Ruolan sneered, "You are loyal." He beckoned to Bai Ling and said, "Tell me to prepare hot soup, I want to bathe." ”
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, Miss." Then he was commanded.
Seeing this, Huang Ying's face showed some anxiety, and she said in a low voice: "Miss, ...... Madame's side."
An Ruolan didn't wait for her to finish, and said, "You don't need to serve here, retreat." ”
Her tone was quite gentle, but she couldn't be ignored, Huang Ying bit the corner of her lip, and had to get up and exit the room.
An Ruolan looked at her back as she withdrew, and the corners of her lips curled with a touch of mockery.
Although it was a sudden incident in the morning, she could see it clearly.
At that time, she saw the hesitation in An Ruoxian's eyes, and also saw the panic on An Ruoxian's face at the last moment, which shows that it was not An Ruoxian's intention to knock her down, so why did An Ruoxian fall suddenly?
I'm afraid I have to ask the yellow warbler who was closest to An Ruoxian at that time.
is also a personal big girl, Bai Ling has always been by her side, and saved her life at a critical moment, but Huang Ying fell behind the other maids, why? And why did An Ruoxian suddenly fall down when she passed by her?
This personal maid given to her by her mother, she has always trusted and valued it before, but now it seems that she should not have thoughts.
No matter why Huang Ying wanted to harm her, this maid couldn't stay, but before that, she had to find out her purpose, and at the same time, she had to take care of the situation in the room.
Someone who can't put her interests first, she doesn't need it.
