When Lin Xi returned to the study, he quietly flashed in, made some hot tea for the young lady, and stood quietly aside. At this time, the third lady was holding a book of poems and was fascinated.

The reason why Lin Xi said that Miss Three was fascinated was because Miss Three hadn't turned a page for half a day, which showed that Miss Three was concentrating on studying the artistic conception in this poem.

Poetry is a game, and Lin Xi feels that the four sentences summarized by someone can deeply reflect its essence.

As the so-called Liu Yong drinks flower wine, Lu You sits at the head of the bed. Su Shi was sent down, and Li Yu was worried in the palace. In a word: people are also worried, ghosts are also worried, who is not worried about being a puppy.

As for why the third lady was worried, Lin Xi didn't want to think deeply.

She felt that she was just a little maid, and her main job was to wait for people. Serving tea and handing water belongs to the category of the body, and the art of sorrow belongs to the spiritual category, which is more profound, more unpredictable, and the key is to spend your brain.

It's like whether the old man of the Gao family was caught and raped in bed with his bare ass?

Is Mrs. Zhengfang sick and dying?

What did the two aunts do in order to straighten their backs?

Her own young lady has no support in this mansion, and what to do in the future, etc., and other complicated issues, should not be something that her little maid who only gets five hundred dollars of silver a month worry about.

Lin Xi is a lazy person when he is young, he can sit and never stand, he can lie down, and he will never sit. She has never liked to do things that use her brain.

What she loves to do is to watch the young lady read, while entertaining herself by playing and blowing saliva bubbles. Don't interfere with each other, have fun with each other.

……

Gao Iris put down the book, slowly raised her head, stared out the window, and sighed faintly for a long time.

Lin Xi happened to blow a bubble, and when she heard the sigh, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Miss, the tea is cold, the slave will help you change another cup!" ”

"What time is it?"

Lin Xi looked at the hourglass, secretly calculated in his heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Hui, it's almost three o'clock." If the young lady is hungry, the slave maid will go to the kitchen to urge her. ”

According to the rules of the Gao family, three meals a day are uniformly seated in the large kitchen on weekdays, and when the time comes, they are delivered to each courtyard according to the portions. If there is a heavy festival or banquet, the banquet is opened, and the men and women raise their glasses to celebrate.

"No, I'm not hungry!" The high iris waved his hand.

"The slave maid will bring some snacks to the young lady, the young lady is tired of reading, eat a few snacks and drink a few sips of fragrant tea is the most relieving of fatigue."

Gao Iris saw that Lin Xi's eyes were rolling, and his small mouth moved to talk to her, and for some reason the melancholy in his heart disappeared mostly.

"Linsey, what day were you born?"

"Miss Hui, the slave was born at three o'clock in the third month of March."

"The third day of the third month of March, what a coincidence, I was born at the fourth ugly hour of the first month of March, only one day away." The high iris was a little surprised.

"Miss, is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Gao Iris saw that her eyebrows were high, and her face was shocked, as if she had heard the most strange thing in the world, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This is the so-called truth that no book is written without coincidence." The difference between me and the second lady is only ten days. ”

Lin Xi was a little stunned for a while.

The world is really unfair, from the day you were born, some things are destined to be unfair. Some people are born to do nothing, so they can be clothed and fed; And some people have to sell themselves to bury their fathers, and become slaves and slaves.

Although she was only one day away from the birth of the third lady, it was obvious that on the day Lin Xi was born, Lord Yama was not in a very good mood because of losing money in gambling. As soon as I drank wine at night, the beautiful woman slept, and when I got up in the morning, it was cloudy.

Lin Xi secretly grinded his back molars, and thought, Lord Yama, you are a bird's egg, you don't look at Huang Li when you go out to gamble, you deserve to lose.

Gao Iris saw that Lin Xi's face was blue and white for a while, and he was very good-looking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised, don't say that it is only one day away, even if you were born in the same year and month, there are many people." ”

Lin Xi came to his senses and said with a smile: "The slave was born in the countryside, and there are more than a dozen families in the village, and I have never seen such a strange thing. ”

Gao Iris smiled: "If you see too much, it's not strange." There are more strange things in the book, this is really nothing! ”

"Miss is really smart, she knows everything, she reads well, she plays the piano well, and she looks good, Miss, are you a fairy?" Lin Xi has no face and no skin.

With a snort, the high iris covered the handkerchief and smiled: "What smart? It's just a distraction or two more than others. ”

"Miss's words are not right, if it were me, even if I used a lot of heart, I wouldn't be able to learn that. Speaking of which, the young lady is still smart. ”

"It's strange that Ziwei and the two of them say hello and are willing to talk to you, and they are really a pleasant."

Lin Xi touched her head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Miss, it was the two sisters who lifted me." ”

Before the high iris could reply, a cup of hot tea was served in front of him.

"Miss, let's take a sip of tea, if you talk too much, blame Fei for spitting on Xingzi."

Gao Iris was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, took the teacup, and took a deep look at Lin Xi.

A cyan jacket is wrapped around his body, which makes people a little old-fashioned. A pair of eyes are as clear and agile as black glass, and they are full of anticipation. It's just that such beautiful eyes grow on a very ordinary face with a dull complexion.

A pair of hands are very good-looking, with ten fingers of green onions, round and lubricated, and the blue and white porcelain teacup lined with it also has a bit of charm. Gao Iris looked a little stunned for a moment.

Liu's mother was brought over by her mother from the Cui family, and the Cui family's poetry is heirloom, and the rules are very large, so the maid who came out of Liu's mother** is according to the Cui family's standards in every word and deed.

This girl is really a little different from others, what is the difference, Gao Iris can't say it, she just feels like this cup of hot tea in front of her, drinking it, her stomach is very comforting.

Thinking that this girl has no father and no mother, it is really pitiful, and she was born like this, and her words softened a little.

"In the future, when I read a book, you don't have to stand still, find a chair to rest, and do needlework."

When Lin Xi heard this, his face was not happy, but a layer of melancholy.

"Miss, slave...... The slave and maid should stand. ”

"Why is that?"

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids do not do needlework. Lin Xi squirmed for a long time before he spat out a sentence from his mouth.

Gao Iris smiled: "Mother Liu didn't teach you? ”

Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Teach, teach, it's a slave who is stupid, and I can't learn." ”

"That's amazing, I think you're so clever, and you don't look like a stupid."

Lin Xi saw that there was no ridicule on Miss's face, and there was no difference in her words, so she boldly said: "Miss, the slave maid has lived with her father since she was a child, and her father loves me, and he has never let me take a needle or thread, so the slave and maid will only nail a few buttons after learning from Mother Liu for a long time." ”

"Your dad spoils you."

Lin Xi's face was sad, thinking about the past days, and there was a bit of light in his eyes.

"How did your mother die?"

"My father said that after my mother gave birth to me, she didn't stay up for a few days and then went. My dad said that I was brought up by him with a handful of and urine. ”

"It's also a blessing for you to have such a father."

Gao Iris pinched the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, and looked at Lin Xi with a little more pity.

Blessings?

Lynsey sharpened her sharp teeth.

Sure enough, it was a blessing, and all the blessings made me sell myself into the house, and those two goods actually ......

Lin Xi suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, pretended to twist his sour neck, and said with a smile: "Miss, the slave wants to ask you something." ”

"You say."

"In half a month, it will be my father's death day, and I want to go home and burn some paper for my father."

Gao Iris was slightly moved, and said with a smile: "What do you want about this, go back and tell Mother Liu, just say that I agreed." ”

When Lin Xi heard this, she smiled happily, knelt down with a bang, kowtowed to the third lady a few times, and got up and smiled without waiting for the young lady to call up: "Miss, you rest first, the slave will help you see ......if dinner is coming."

Gao Iris saw her bouncing out of the house, and her heart was inexplicably happy.

……

The night sinks like water, and the curtain hangs on the world.

In the spacious clean room, the earth dragon burned hot, as warm as a spring day. The candles on the gilded flower stand burned vigorously.

Aunt He soaked in a half-person-high wooden barrel, hot water wrapped her skin, and the pores of her body stretched out little by little, and she sighed comfortably.

Thinking about the things in the daytime, Aunt He said lightly: "You two go out, call Mother Rong to wait!" ”

"Yes!" The little maids responded in unison and lifted the curtain and went out.

After a while, Rong's mother came in quietly, not daring to move forward, but only guarding the door from afar.

"What do you command?"

He Qiuyu leaned her head on the barrel and said softly, "Where is the master resting today?" ”

Mother Rong turned her mind a few times and said with a smile: "Auntie, the master came back from the yamen and went to the study first, this will just go to Xiyun Courtyard, but ......"
