Chapter 3 In the Dark Tide
As soon as the sky was bright, the girls in the house had already gotten up early to start cleaning. The subordinates try to relax their hands and feet, busy but methodical daily work. The house was the marriage of the old lady Qin in the past, it was slightly smaller, and it was located in a remote area, so only a few subordinates were left to guard it, and the work was not heavy, but because it was far away from the master, there was no reward and oil and water to fish. However, compared to living a life in the house gate with trembling faces, it is better to be unsupervised here, and you are happy to be at ease.
That was the old days, though. Ever since the third lady of the Qin Mansion came, these people have not stopped. This third lady stays at home and won't embarrass them. In contrast, the two mothers who came with the house were not so easy to serve. These two people are Mrs. Tai and the people in front of Mrs. Tai, their vision is very high, and they can't look down on anything, and they don't add to the big guy's problems in this Zhuangzi.
Ruyi got up earlier than usual, went to Qin Daixin's yard first, and saw the two little girls fetching water waiting outside, knowing that the young lady hadn't woken up yet, after thinking about it, she decided to go to the kitchen to see breakfast, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Ding's mother standing not far away to train people. Her heart tightened, and she quickly stabilized her mind, changed her mind and walked to Ding's mother.
The lesson was a little girl who had just left her head, crying so much that she could barely breathe. Ding's mother wore a wide-sleeved shirt with a lake of blue dark stripes, a half-new and old crescent white crape myrtle gown, a garnet-red gem hairpin was obliquely inserted on her head, and a pair of gold pendants were added to her ears. Thinking about Ding's mother's past, Ruyi was suspicious, seeing that this material didn't look like it was newly made, could it be that which master in the house rewarded it? Although the uneasiness in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, Ruyi's footsteps have not stopped. Ding's mother also saw her from a distance, and said a few words to the little girl, and the little girl thanked her and left in a hurry.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Ruyi tried to show a little flattery on his face, and stepped forward to ask with concern.
Ding's mother's expression was natural, and she couldn't see anything wrong.
"It's not a big deal, the little girls don't understand the rules, just teach a few lessons." Ding's mother looked at Ruyi with a smile and asked, "It seems that I got up earlier than usual today, but what's the matter with my sister?" ”
Ruyi said: "The third lady is getting up later than usual now. As if remembering something, he hurriedly said: "Mom feels sorry for her, and she is not well yet!" ”
Ding's mother saw that her words and deeds were respectful, and she was very proud, she hadn't been so relaxed for many years, as sweet as drinking honey water in the summer. In fact, she didn't care at all in her heart, but she was embarrassed on her face: "It's not that I'm unreasonable, I'm just afraid that the old lady won't be able to explain it." You also know that this time the old lady was really angry, or she wouldn't have let the girl come to Zhuangzi to raise her. ”
Ruyi hurriedly nodded her head to show understanding, which made Ding's mother feel a little more comfortable. I think she was also capable by the old lady's side back then, but somehow she lost power. This sister who came back to the countryside to take care of the punished sister, on the surface, she has fallen out of favor, but in fact it is much better than staying in the yard and scolding chickens and ducks. What's more, there are things that the nobles have to explain, as long as they are done well, I am not afraid that she will have no support for the rest of her life......
"Come on, look at what you're suffering. Sister's body is just right, you just serve with your heart, and it's nothing bad to get up late. I just turn a blind eye and forget it, it's just Mother Zheng's place, you have to hide, she is a well-known person. Ding's mother didn't seem to want to say more, so she hastily ordered a few words.
Ruyi nodded yes, thinking that the rumors of a slight disagreement between the two mothers were indeed true. Seeing Ding's mother leave, Ruyi quickened up and walked towards Qin Daixin's yard.
When Ruyi came to Qin Daixin's inner room, the two little girls were waiting to freshen up, and when Yiqiyi was cleaned up, the two girls came out in turn, and only the master and servant were left in the house.
Qin Daixin took the fragrant tea that Ruyi brought over, took a sip, and saw that Ruyi was full of worries, and asked softly: "But is there something?" ”
Ruyi hurriedly knelt beside Qin Daixin, as if she was guilty of guilt, although she lowered her head, Qin Daixin still saw an anxious look on her face.
"Miss, now...... Now you blame me, blame me. There are some things that the slave and maid have to say. Ruyi is out of the way, she doesn't care about whether the young lady will lose her temper, she just wants to say what is in her heart.
Qin Daixin probably knew what she was going to say, so she only spit out one word lightly, "Speak." ”
Ruyi raised her head slightly, but she didn't dare to look at her directly, and whispered: "Miss, since something happened, you have been distracted from the slave maid." What do you think, the slave doesn't dare to speak, let alone guess. It's just that Miss can't be so depressed. The affairs of the house are ever-changing, and the slave and maid know it even if they don't say it. Even if you stop thinking about it and plan to stay in this countryside for the rest of your life, others may not think the same, for fear that something will happen. Then Ruyi told me about meeting Ding's mother in the morning, and specially emphasized her dress.
Qin Dai's face was as calm as water, and she couldn't see a trace of waves, as quiet as hearing someone tell a story. The more she was like this, the more bottomless Ruyi's heart became, she didn't even dare to breathe when she knelt on the ground, and waited for her master's reaction, but after waiting for a long time, she only got the order to let her go down and prepare breakfast.
Speaking of this, Ruyi didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly got up and saluted and retreated, leaving Qin Daixin thinking about the bronze mirror.
How could she not understand! The person in the mirror obviously does not apply powder, but he prefers to apply thin powder to his face, and his face is like Wodan. On the small face, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon without painting, and the lips are like the sun without being painted red. The eyes are like a flood of autumn water, and like bright stars, dazzling people can't take their eyes off. The weak and boneless body, with the skin that can be broken by blowing, the shoulders are shaved and the waist is about the same. It's really a slender fit, charming and delicate. The sister who came out of the house is born so well that it will inevitably make the hearts of the people in the main house feel a gap. The survival rules of the big family have their own set, if there is nothing to do on weekdays, it is naturally like a family, and all kinds of harmony. But when the sisters in the house are at the age when they should discuss their relatives, it is clear that the relatives are close and close. The head of the house and the mother of the family are all from the big portal, how can they not know the powerful relationship? Not only do you want to marry your daughters well, but you also have to fight for the best interests of your family. Those children of the family, the sons of the official family are a piece of fat in their eyes, if there is only one piece of fat, it can naturally only be an opportunity for the daughter. Presumably, those sisters who are out of the house have a number in their hearts, so there will be no chaos.
It was a coincidence, the "fat meat" that the Qin family had taken a fancy to was unfortunately in love with the sister of the concubine in the house, and it was impossible for the housewife to let this kind of thing go, she would never allow this kind of thing to happen. So there was a matter of Shangxiang on the way back, and the horse was frightened and overturned. Even if she doesn't say it, Qin Daixin also understands that this is just a fight in the house, although she was frightened and had a serious illness, but after all, she is still alive and well in this world, and if the other party does not change her mind, the Qin family's housewife will not be at ease for a day. Thinking of the beautiful woman who was full of love but couldn't reach her feelings directly to the bottom of her eyes, Qin Dai only sighed low in her heart. If it weren't for her rebirth, the real Third Miss would have disappeared from this world long ago.
Qin Dai thought of Ruyi's worried look, and she was also confused, and she thought of the wind inexplicably. It's just a thought, and I forced myself to suppress it again. Now that she is Qin Daixin, she is no longer the Mo Li, the past, what is the use of wanting to come? But it was just wishful thinking, which made her feel uneasy, an unfavored mother, who has not served in front of her master for many years, has fallen out of favor, how can she have any money to buy and wear? Listening to Ruyi's description, the clothes seemed to be rewarded by a master, and this thing changed its taste. Ruyi was afraid that he also thought of this, so he lost his sense of proportion and said something like that.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Daixin's mouth unconsciously raised a weird smile.
When she first woke up, her body was still weak, and she could only remember many things in her heart, but she couldn't take action. But she is not the Qin Daixin of the past, her life is chaotic, and she can't tell which is right and which is wrong. Although she was really distressed for a while, after all, the life of the ancients was boring, and there were many etiquettes, and her identity was soft-spoken, so I am afraid that she would not live too smoothly. If you really made a promise at the age of fourteen or fifteen and lived a life of getting married and having children, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing her.
But who is she? The young lady from the Qin Mansion? A pawn at the mercy of others? No, since she has lived again and identified her identity, she naturally has to live happily to live up to God's beauty. If the environment is not good, we can adapt to it, which is the most powerful instinct of all mammals.
As for those who wanted to put her to death, Qin Daixin couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This qiē had nothing to do with her, she got this body by mistake, but she didn't want to participate in their fight, she wanted to be calm and free. She doesn't want the things that the women in the house calculate. She has tried her best to hide in the countryside, and if there are still people who don't give up on her, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Qin Daixin was thinking about her mind alone, but she heard a few slight noises outside. She knew it in her heart and shouted Ruyi.
Ruyi's expression was wrong, and she bowed her head and said, "Miss, Mother Zheng is here." ”
