Chapter 222: Training and Eating
Zhou Xiaoxi slowly opened her eyes after taking a sip of water elegantly, with a simple face and a sympathetic and sad look: "Second sister, don't worry, grandmother is just a momentary anger, presumably it will be dissipated in a few days, and then my mother is also very strict with her housekeeper on weekdays, and no one has spread this matter." ”
Zhou Xiaofu turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaoxi, frowned and didn't speak, while Zhou Xiaolan smiled and said softly: "Thank you big sister for your concern, it's okay, even if the matter is spread out, my sister won't put the blame on the eldest aunt." ”
As soon as Zhou Xiaoxi said this, she thought that Zhou Xiaolan should be next, but she didn't expect to be reversed, what is the matter, is it her mother's responsibility for the matter to be passed on?
Zhou Xiaoxi suddenly felt a pain in her chest, this Zhou Xiaolan She has not been wooed on weekdays, and her father often said that the second uncle is in charge of the promotion assessment of the officials, and there is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with the second room.
But even if she usually does what she likes, this Zhou Xiaolan is plain and bland, and she is not eager to do anything, but the person she likes is Zhou Xiaobin, a sister who is easily impulsive.
Then there is the Zhou Xiaolan sisters, who have gradually gotten closer and closer to Zhou Xiaofu in the third room in recent months, and often nest together in the courtyard of the two girls in the second room.
In the end, she even went to Zhuangzi together a few days ago, she always faintly felt that Zhou Xiaofu had a lot of secrets, and once these secrets were revealed, it would be a big deal, but she sent someone to follow her for a long time and there were no clues.
Zhou Xiaoxi's face was a little distorted and smiled unnaturally: "Look at what my sister said, we are a family." ”
Zhou Xiaolan just smiled faintly and didn't answer.
Family. Is the family using such intrigues, and they also insidious themselves, in case the matter spreads, they and their sister will be divorced. It's just right to get out of marriage, and I don't want to marry yet.
Zhou Xiaofu watched the battle from the sidelines.
In this war without gunpowder, Zhou Xiaolan won completely!
This is the house fight in the mansion, where is she either to solve the problem by force, or ignore it, there has never been a head-on enemy like Zhou Xiaolan, and then completely defeated the opponent.
Zhou Xiaolan looked at Zhou Xiaofu with an envious expression, and suddenly reached out with some amusement, and gently twisted Zhou Xiaofu's elbow. Then a narrow wink.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and didn't speak.
Soon the morning training was over, and at the beginning of the morning, after Mama Liu checked what a few people had learned before. Seeing that he had not made a mistake, he kept letting Zhou Xiaofu, Zhou Xiaolan, and Zhou Xiaoxi sit and rest.
Later, the three of them got up and properly instructed the three sisters of the Gu family and the two cousins of the patriarch's family, as well as Zhou Xiaohu, who were practicing repeatedly.
Zhou Xiaolan had been teaching Zhou Xiaohu writing and painting in private. So today, most of them are correcting Zhou Xiaohu's standing, sitting, and walking posture. and where there are irregularities.
And Zhou Xiaofu is a little miserable, and she has always been kept by the third lady of the Gu family.
When she was able to speak, Gu Chang thanked Zhou Xiaofu for saving her sister last time.
And Gu Changxi always looked at himself with a grateful face.
At first, it was okay, but after a long time, Zhou Xiaofu felt a little numb in her scalp.
During the lunch break, Mrs. Zhou sent someone to pick up the three young ladies of the Gu family, and specially arranged a room for them to eat and rest at noon.
The cousins of the clan were directly taken back by the sedan chair, because the patriarch's house was diagonally opposite, and they walked for half an hour at most, so they both went back to rest. And before leaving, he was specially sent away by Mama Cheng beside the old lady.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan glanced at each other. Obviously, this Mama Cheng is here to spread the word, I am afraid that she hopes that the two young ladies will not talk nonsense when they go back.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan originally had something to say, as soon as they came out of the courtyard on this side of the conservatory, they saw Gu Chang, the third lady of the Gu family, pouting and saying, "Sister Xiaofu, my sister and I want to go to your yard to eat, okay?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu turned her head with a headache, but saw that even the eldest lady of the Gu family, Gu Changxi, was looking forward to it, isn't it everyone's ladies, I don't know how to be subtle, why are they so proactive one by one.
Zhou Xiaofu looked at Zhou Xiaolan with some embarrassment.
saw that Zhou Xiaolan smiled a little gloatingly: "Then the fourth sister will take good care of my sister and sister Gu." ”
And the second lady of the Gu family, Gu Changrou saluted Gu Changxi with a faint expression and left, and did not think about going together, looking indifferent, without the slightest guilt for knocking Gu Changxi into the pool that day.
Zhou Xiaofu had no choice but to take the two sisters together, and asked Qingbi beside her to take the two maids to the big kitchen to bring the food of the two directly here.
Because she had to learn etiquette and had a lot of activities, Ziling took over the role of Lan's mother, specially added food to Zhou Xiaofu, paid ten days of silver money in the big kitchen in advance, and added vegetables, all meat, for fear that Zhou Xiaofu would be hungry.
Zhou Xiaofu is very satisfied with Ziling's approach, the reason why she may have survived in the last days, the most feared and unbearable is hunger, and she can't bear hunger the most on weekdays.
Zhou Xiaofu beckoned Zining to bring warm water, and the three of them washed up before sitting at the dining table and waiting for dinner.
Zhou Xiaofu just entered the bedroom and changed into a lotus pink long-sleeved cotton muslin skirt, round collar, ruffled sleeves, the collar and sleeves are embroidered with pale green willow lace, plus a light green belt of the same color as willow lace is tied at the waist, which makes the originally not very outstanding long skirt very charming.
Gu Changxi, who was already good at showmanship, had his eyes straight since he saw this dress, and Gu Changxi also felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was really special in a long dress.
Zhou Xiaofu followed the gaze of the two and looked at the clothes on her body, this skirt has been worn for the third time since the hot weather, this is what Lan's mother made for herself before she got married, it is her newly designed home clothes, it is very comfortable, and even Zhou Xiaolan has taken a fancy to it, this is not in a hurry to ask Cuihua to help Zhou Xiaolan make a one, and the young lady of the Gu family took a fancy to it again.
But it's just a skirt, and it's not rare, so he smiled faintly and said, "Two Miss Gu like my skirt?" ”
Gu Changxi smiled and nodded, while Xiuyi Maniac Gu Chang nodded violently.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "Then let me make one for each of the two of you, it's not a rare fabric, this skirt is a home series, not suitable for wearing outside, only suitable for wearing in the house." ”
Gu Chang listened carefully and asked suspiciously, "Home series?"
Zhou Xiaofu suddenly realized that she blurted out a series for Jian Shang, but her face did not change: "Yes, I went to Jin and my aunt to go to Jian Shang for the New Year, and then they have a series of clothes called the home series, which are specially made for wearing in the bedroom, and there are also pajamas to wear to sleep." I looked at it and liked it, so I made this skirt for myself in imitation of the way it looked. ”
These words said what Gu was often interested in, and suddenly his eyes were shining, and Zhou Xiaofu's words were like a few treasures: "Jian Shang also has a series of dresses, specially made for attending banquets outside, as well as a blind date series, as well as a warm series, my sister and I have been there many times, but Jian Shang's production is too few, many of them are customized and limited, and those who like it may not be able to get it." After saying that, there was a look of loss.
The corners of Zhou Xiaofu's mouth twitched, it turned out that her aunt had done Jian Shang's business so well, and Gu often talked about some wearing items as if she was in love, which was simply fascinating.
But there was still a faint smile on his face.
Soon the meal came.
Zhou Xiaofu originally had three dishes and one soup dish, plus two additional dishes, just six dishes, and then the young lady of the Gu family also had five dishes and one soup per person, after all, the young lady of the Gu family came to the Zhou Mansion to learn etiquette, and the Gu family's family really made Mrs. Zhou have to stutter, and they have to take care of it carefully.
Therefore, there are two more dishes than the little masters of the Zhou Mansion.
At this time, there were fifteen dishes, three bowls of soup, two large bowls of rice, and a large plate of flower rolls.
This amount suddenly startled the young lady of the Gu family.
But Zhou Xiaofu thought that it was not without benefit to eat with the young lady of the Gu family, at least she could eat more.
Gu Changxi was polite and hurriedly started to eat with Gu Chang, after all, the intensive training in the morning was simply too torturous for the two noble girls who had not been tired.
Everyone was hungry and they all started moving.
After two quarters of an hour, the two young ladies of the Gu family stopped their chopsticks one after another, but Zhou Xiaofu continued to eat.
Immediately afterwards, after the two young ladies of the Gu family rinsed their mouths one after another and sat down to drink a cup of tea, Zhou Xiaofu continued to struggle and began to eat the sixth bowl of rice.
Finally, when the second tea was brewed, Zhou Xiaofu was still drinking soup.
Finally, Gu Changxi's face began to crack a little, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xiaofu, eating too much will make your stomach uncomfortable." ”
Zhou Xiaofu received Gu Changxi's kindness, swallowed the soup in her mouth and said, "It's okay, it's a pity to waste it." ”
Ziling, who was standing and waiting on the side, twitched, but thought in his heart, Miss, you are too frustrated to find this excuse, where have you wasted things on weekdays, only you can't eat, hey.
It wasn't until Zhou Xiaofu drank the last bowl of soup that she looked at the empty plates on the table with a comfortable face, and she was really comfortable eating today.
But I didn't know that the two young ladies of the Gu family forgot about the pain in the soles of their feet and looked at Zhou Xiaofu with a shocked face.
Zhou Xiaofu also knows that she has eaten a lot, and she eats a lot on weekdays, so there is no need to pretend, right.
was about to say something, but saw Qingbi enter the hall, Qingbi didn't speak, but heard a cheerful voice behind her: "Sister, are you there?" ”
Before Qingbi could speak, a sunny young master came directly into the hall, looking at the dining room with a smile on his face.
But when I entered the room, I was stunned.
Especially Zhou Xiaoyang, who suddenly broke into his sister's hall, was stunned with a red face, it turned out that his sister was an outsider here, and she was still two strange girls.
Qingbi has a look on his face, I said the report. (To be continued......)
