"Mountain Flowers Splendid" Author: Jun Xiang Yezi. Talk about a little love, tease a beautiful man, and take revenge by the way, Shanhua said that this kind of life is more interesting, and it is not in vain to travel back and forth.
"Poof." Cui Wanqing listened to her grandmother's gift, and she really gave it tightly, and she couldn't hold back for a while, so she laughed, "That grandmother didn't say that her mother was not in good health, so who should help with the chores in Xifu first?" β
When Yulan heard Cui Wanqing's question, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, and replied with a smile: "If you asked, Mother Jia also came to ask like this, guess what?" β
"Not only did she not even see the face of the old lady, but after waiting for a long time, the doctor saw her in the Xiaohua Hall, and she only said lightly: 'This East Mansion and the West Mansion have long been separated, how can our East Mansion meddle in the affairs of the West Mansion at this moment? Let your second lady watch the arrangement by herself', and sent Jia's mother back. β
Cui Wanqing thought of the actual situation of Second Mrs. Cui now, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "It's sad, a dignified lady in the main room, she was actually disgusted by her own mother-in-law and sister-in-law to this point, I have to say a pitiful, but since ancient times, this poor person must have its hate, if she hadn't died by herself all these years, where could she have come to such a point?" β
She raised her eyelids and said lightly to Yulan: "I remember that there are a lot of medicinal herbs in our room, right?" Didn't my grandmother send a lot of old ginseng from the Northeast last time? You're going to take someone with you, and you're going to pick two good ones. Personally send it to the mother. This thing is the best way to nourish blood and qi. β
Magnolia blinked. Seeing Cui Wanqing lowering her head, she just looked at the patterns on the desk, and she didn't want to ask too much, so she bent her knees and answered the errand, so she took Fang Xuan to the back wing room, opened the house where valuables were stored, and went to look for ginseng.
"Miss, she's so bad to you. What she suffers now is God's retribution for her, why do you still send her such a precious thing? It's beautiful! Brother Li hated Second Mrs. Cui the most in his heart, and couldn't help but complain.
Cui Wanqing looked up at her, this child has been much calmer under Fang's mother's conditioning recently, but when she encounters something related to Second Mrs. Cui, she still can't help but leak her original form.
She didn't explain, but whispered, "I have to make up for it." The body is strong, so you can live a few more years, right? β
Brother Li was stunned when he heard this. What her own young lady said had no beginning or end, she was really confused when she heard it, and she really didn't understand what it meant.
Just as she was about to ask, Yingqiao, who was standing next to her, secretly pulled her sleeve and glared at her fiercely, "Brother Li, it's not too early for this hour, you go to the main house and ask, if the old lady is in good spirits, our young lady will go over to say goodbye, if the old lady doesn't want to see anyone, then wait until after dinner." β
As soon as Cui Wanqing came back, she went to the main house first, but unexpectedly she was blocked back by Qiu Ju, so Yingqiao used this excuse to send Brother Li out.
Looking at Brother Li's back, Cui Wanqing smiled lightly and shook her head, naΓ―ve children, it's not good.
Yingqiao and Brother Li have the deepest relationship, seeing Cui Wanqing like this, she hurriedly helped Brother Li to say good things, "Miss, Brother Li is shallow in his mind, but he couldn't be more heartfelt to you."
"I know all of that." Cui Wanqing waved her hand at Yingqiao casually, looked at her funny and asked, "What are you worried about?" Are you worried that I'll get tired of her because she's not scheming enough? β
Yingqiao's expression changed, she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, her own master is becoming more and more elusive, her joy and anger are hidden deeply, and when she starts to do things, she often makes a stroke, so that you don't know what she means.
Therefore, she didn't dare to speak like before.
"Yingqiao, come here." Cui Wanqing smiled and beckoned to Yingqiao, and when the people came, she took Yingqiao's hand and said seriously: "What I said today, I won't say it a second time in the future, so you must remember it." β
Yingqiao saw Cui Wanqing's eyes were extremely serious, and quickly nodded, "Yes, the maid must remember it with her heart, and she will never dare to forget it." β
Cui Wanqing smiled and nodded, and said softly, "You and Brother Li, are different to me, the three of us rely on each other to get through the most difficult years, if it weren't for the two of you helping each other all the way, where would I be able to get to where I am now?" β
"So, never guess my heart for the two of you, as long as your heart for me doesn't change, then my heart for you both won't change."
"The last thing I want is for you to become like Fleur, you have to think about it three or four times in your head when you say a word to your grandmother, it's really too tiring to live, I just want you to be Yingqiao, you just need to be yourself, okay?"
Yingqiao didn't expect that Cui Wanqing would suddenly reveal her true feelings, and she was really moved to say such a thing to herself, and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would cry first when she opened her mouth.
Brother Li entered the house and saw such a scene, she looked around in surprise, there were only Cui Wanqing and Yingqiao in the room, and there was nowhere to ask if she wanted to.
She looked at Cui Wanqing's expression and was quite gentle, and boldly replied: "Miss Jiu, the maid went to the main house just now, and happened to meet Sister Furui, she said that the old ancestor is tired today, so you don't have to toss back and forth, and when you get off school tomorrow, you will go to say hello to the old lady." β
"What special do you see?" Cui Wanqing guessed the possibility that Old Madam Cui was missing, tilted her head, and asked seemingly casually.
She secretly recalled in her heart, it seems that since last night, her grandmother has not appeared again, although she has always said that she is tired and resting, but this will be a day and a night, has it not been relieved?
Or is there something else going on?
The last person Mrs. Cui saw last night was Cui's mother, if there is something to say, it must have come from this person.
Ying Qiao saw Brother Li's blank expression and helped inspire her: "For example, what is the look on Sister Furui's face?" Are there any strangers on the other side of the main house? Or something else? β
"Oh" After Yingqiao's explanation, Brother Li understood what the master wanted to know, she thought hard about it, frowned and said: "I seem to smell medicine from Sister Furui, does this count?" β
When Cui Wanqing heard this, she immediately sat up straight, holding the desk with her hand, the expression on her face was obscure, and she secretly thought in her heart: "Grandmother is really angry, I don't know what this Cui's mother did wrong, and she actually made her grandmother angry?" β
"But is it because of Zhou's vicious mind that he was sick? Or was it because I was angry when I talked to Cui's mother? That's really hard to think about."
After all, Mrs. Cui is old, and she can be said to be very happy and sad yesterday, and she has been back and forth several times.
And Mrs. Cui concealed her illness, was it because she had a good face and didn't want to let the Xifu know that she was happy?
Cui Wanqing was a little puzzled, she shook her head helplessly, and instructed Brother Li: "You go to the small warehouse in the back to find your sister Yulan, and tell her to choose two more of the best ginseng and send them to Sister Furui, and then choose some high-quality bird's nests and send them to Aunt Rong." β
Brother Li responded crisply when he heard this, and he went to do it without mentioning it.
Cui Wanqing looked at the moving curtain at the door, her eyes turned slightly, and then she instructed Yingqiao again, "Ah Tao is on an errand today?" If she is here, she will call it, and if she is not there, let someone look for her, and I have something to tell her to do. β
Yingqiao now goes in and out with Cui Wanqing every day, less time in the mansion and more time in the academy, so Cui Wanqing will ask her to ask, this master and servant are now in their own yard, when and who is on an errand, it is not very clear.
Ah Tao is now in Cui Wanqing's house, and she has been promoted to the position of a second-class maid, which is rare at her age.
Their family originally had some roots in the Cui family's West Mansion, so although Ah Tao was in the East Mansion, there was very little news about the affairs of the West Mansion that she couldn't inquire about.
As soon as Yingqiao heard that Cui Wanqing asked Ah Tao to come over, she immediately knew that the master must have asked Ah Tao to go to Xifu to inquire about something, the family has not been peaceful in the past two days, Yingqiao has seen it in her eyes, she didn't dare to delay the business, and immediately went out to find someone.
Ah Tao happened to be on an errand today, and at the moment she was in the next room, accompanying Fang's mother to talk and do needlework.
Yingqiao saw people in the past, and the two next door were really close, so Ah Tao came very quickly.
This child has grown very fast in the past few months, he has grown a head taller, his skin is whiter and tenderer, and he looks much more beautiful, this is all the credit of Fang's mother, she has a lot of these beautiful and rejuvenating things.
For Ah Tao, who loves beauty the most, but is not beautiful enough, it is simply a fatal temptation, that is simply to offer Fang's mother as a bodhisattva, as long as there is no errand, it must be
is sticking to Fang's mother's side, and trying to dig out the secret recipe for beauty.
Fang's mother originally collected a lot of these small recipes because her master loved beauty, and she wanted to use these recipes on Cui Wanqing's body to show their effect.
But Cui Wanqing's mind was not on this, probably because she felt that no matter how much she tossed, she couldn't be more beautiful than Cui Wanyun, so except for letting Fang's mother solve the problem of her hands and feet, she really didn't care about anything else.
It was often Fang's mother who worked hard to figure it out, and Cui Wanqing didn't use it much, but cheapened the little maids around her.
Fortunately, there is also a Tao who worships her, which can make her feel the feeling of being valued, this old and young, just because of this, they get along very well.
"Son-in-law, please say hello to Miss Nine." Ah Tao was in a very good mood, and with a smile on her face, it was obvious that she had gained some benefits from Fang's mother again. (To be continued......)
