Chapter 4 Simplicity

"Since the two sisters gave two things, let's just follow the trend, and if these two things are excess, we will give them to the seventh sister, and let her give them to the eldest sister as a congratulatory gift." Cui Wanqing paused when she said this, worried that Cui Wanjuan would not be able to wipe it off, and she was unwilling to accept it, so she asked Yingqiao in an accentuated tone, "You ask Seventh Sister not to refuse, just say that I said it, don't take out that set of pomegranate Baizi curtains for gifts." ”

"Where is it that anyone gives his dowry? Others know how to chew the root of their tongue uncertainly, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Yingqiao heard the displeasure in Cui Wanqing's words, and quickly bent her knees to respond, so she and Yulan picked up the two items to be sent to Cui Wanjuan, and went to Xiaobaoxia to find a suitable box.

When Yingqiao came back from Cui Wanjuan's yard, it was just time for dinner, and on the table of the Eight Immortals in the small hall, eight dishes were already on the table, one sweet and one salty, and two soups.

Cui Wanqing was holding chopsticks and holding a small piece of fine sand and eight-treasure lotus root to use, when she saw Yingqiao enter the door, put down the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Oh, she rushed back in a hurry." ”

Yingqiao pouted, and curtsied and said: "The maid returned to Miss Nine, Miss Seven listened to what you said, and she was not too embarrassed to shirk it, so she accepted it, but it was still indispensable, and she said a lot of words of thanks, and she also asked the maid to tell you, Ming'er, she will go to the eldest lady with you, let you go to Xifu, and go to her first." ”

Cui Wanqing smiled and nodded when she heard this, Yingqiao cleaned her hands and came to the table to serve the master's meal, and after the meal was over, Cui Wanqing rinsed her mouth with her fangwen hand and wiped the water stains on her lips with a handkerchief.

smiled: "This plate of vegetarian fried lily yam tablets is quite light, let people send it to Fang's mother." You should all use it while it's hot. I'll go to the bedroom for a break. You can hear the sound here, so you don't have to follow it, and you can eat with peace of mind. ”

The Cui family is a century-old family, with many and detailed rules, and it has always been that the younger generation serves the elders for dinner, and the slaves serve the master's meal, and when the master uses it well, the slaves and maids can eat their own share.

Cui Wanqing thinks that Yulan's food is not as good as her own. And he has a small appetite, tons and tons of rice are leftovers, and many dishes are not used at all, and when he goes back to the kitchen, it is cheaper than others, so he simply let Yulan and them use it while it is hot.

She knew that she was sitting in front of her, and none of these people could eat safely, so she simply avoided everyone so that they could relax and have a good meal.

Yulan sent Cui Wanqing out of the room, twisted her face and ordered. "Ah Tao, you go and deliver food to Fang's mother. By the way, I used it at her place, saving the toss back and forth. ”

"Fangrong, you eat quickly, after eating, go to the bedroom to serve the lady, the master is certainly the most benevolent, but we slaves and maids must also remember our duty, more and more careful to serve, don't make fun of Qiao, forget your surname is very old, okay, hurry up."

Her words are not untargeted, they mean something, since the death of the Zhou family, Cui Wanqing lazily let herself go, and some people in this room have begun to be restless.

Yulan is fifteen years old this year, and she has been working in the yard since she was eight years old, and she has seen everything she should see, and the idea that Fang Rong knows in her mouth today is really not a rare thing.

You must know that these little girls under her hands, who are good and who are bad, who is honest and responsible, who is cheating and cheating, Yulan has a very good heart.

If it's just a little lazy, it's still a trivial matter, but some people have a big heart, and it's actually the idea of the masters of the outer courtyard.

The maid in the inner courtyard is afraid of colluding with the people in the outer courtyard, and if she doesn't get this fire, it will lead to the master's body, and it will become an unwarranted disaster, this matter is related to Cui Wanqing's reputation, which is absolutely intolerable.

After Yulan learned about this, she originally planned to get off the horse and rectify one or two immediately, but then she thought about it, this person's father and mother are also the old people used by Cui Wanqing's mother, not to mention anything else, she always has to save some face for Fang's mother, these four fangs were all selected by Fang's mother.

Now if it is punished with great fanfare and let others see it, they still think that Yulan wants to stop with Fang's mother and compete for favor, so Yulan pressed the small flame in her heart and planned to give this person a chance.

At the moment, she put this unpleasant word down first, and after that, if this person still doesn't change and continues to do her own thing, then don't blame Yulan, who is a first-class girl, for being ruthless.

Yulan did the matter first by herself, thinking that when the incident happened, even if Fang's mother was annoyed, she could still figure out that Yulan was just dedicated to doing errands for her master, and she didn't deliberately target that.

She said this very seriously, and her tone was very harsh, so that all the maids in the house were shocked, and there were no ghosts in the hearts of others, and soon it was over this strength, the bowl that should be held, and the chopsticks that should be taken are all busy with food.

Only Fang Aya, after listening to Yulan's words, her heart was in turmoil, and she looked at Fang Rong in a panic, she instinctively thought, could it be her own affairs that were stabbed by Fang Rong to Yulan?

At this look, I saw Fang Rong and Fang Wen holding a bowl, standing at the table and eating quickly, with a smile on their faces, and occasionally said a few words, which was natural, but it didn't look like they had done something wrong.

"Fang Aya, you don't need to eat yet, why are you stupid? Why, aren't you afraid of eating slowly today, do you have to send dishes to the big kitchen? Brother Li asked with a smile.

In an instant, Fang Aya came back to her soul, she smiled reluctantly, hurriedly served a bowl of rice, and glanced at Yulan's expression by the way.

I thought to myself: "Alas, looking at people's faces all day long, not to mention the people who are snorting and drinking, you have to be scared, it's really not a human life, and I don't know when the second young master will be able to think of me to come over"

Early the next morning, Cui Wanqing went to the door of Mrs. Cui to ask for peace according to her previous habits, her grandmother saw no one and saw no one, Cui Wanqing couldn't intervene, but she could always control herself and obey the rules, right?

She has always said hello in the morning and evening, and never misses it, so she took a maid to greet Mrs. Cui's bedroom door seriously.

After please, Cui Wanqing went back to the house for breakfast, and then took Mother Yun, who had only been here for more than a month, as well as Yingqiao and A Tao, Fang Rong and Fang Wen, and the group held the congratulatory gift for Cui Wanhua and went to Xifu.

Because of the mourning and filial piety, Cui Wanqing has been wearing plain white cloth clothes in the past three months, with a simple crescent moon sideburns on her head, and a plain silver finch and a hairpin.

Somehow, since the disposal of the Zhou family and the Xiang family this time, Cui Wanqing's mind has changed a little.

In her previous life, she was a person who loved gorgeous clothes and decorations, how beautiful and how to clean up, and often spent on grooming and dressing up, it was an hour.

In this life, because of a new skin, her appearance has changed greatly, and when Cui Wanqing was disappointed, she inevitably had a period of 'With this delicate appearance now, no matter how hard you dress up, it is difficult to compare with the appearance of the previous life, so why bother with that?' '' of grumbling.

And after this incident, she became more and more disinclined to go to gorgeous luxury, and there was a trend of Zheng Xiuer paying attention to comfort and delicacy in dressing, and relying on that side.

You see that she has a pair of plain silver lantern earrings on her ears, and a pair of silver twisted silk beaded shrimp whisker bracelets on her wrists.

Whether it is the fine silver tassel hanging from the lantern earring, or the two round white pearls inlaid on the twisted silver bracelet, they are all rare and beautiful.

Not to mention the white jade doublefish with a curled tail jade pendant in the pressed skirt, at a glance at the water head, the luster, is the antiques and old objects that have been worn for many years, Cui Wanqing, who is dressed like this, has another kind of romantic beauty.

If Cui Wanqing in the past was a gorgeous peony in full bloom, then the current Cui Wanqing is more like the most exquisite glass begonia.

Although Cui Wanqing felt that her current appearance was too ordinary, in fact, she was really not the so-called beautiful little beauty she thought in her heart.

Think about Cao Yunxiu and Cui Yongzhong, these two look not bad, Cui Wanqing was pinched by the Zhou family before, she couldn't eat steadily, she was worried all day long, and she lived in fear, it was really thin and weak, and it made people feel evil.

But since Cui Wanqing came to live in Songcui Courtyard, under the double care of Yulan and Fang's mother, she has been carefully conditioned for more than half a year, and her whole person is like a spring flower, in a comfortable and comfortable environment, she is relieved to completely slowly stretch her branches.

Not only has her head grown better, but her skin has also become whiter and more delicate under Fang's mother's meticulous care, and her pair of big and watery apricot eyes like black grapes are really getting better and better.

Yes, I really can't say that the current Cui Wanqing, Miss Cui Jiajiu is not outstanding, it can only be said that Cui Wanqing has too high requirements for herself!

Or, because the skin of her previous life was so outstanding, that her vision was too high, and there was almost nothing to see.

The cyan sedan chair stopped at the door of Juanyuan, where Cui Wanjuan lived, and Mother Yun opened the sedan curtain with a smile, "Miss Nine, slow down, be careful of the top of the sedan chair." ”

Mixed Cui Wanqing with one hand, blocked the top of Cui Wanqing's head with the other, and carefully helped his master out.

The master and servant entered Cui Wanjuan's courtyard, and as soon as they walked to the verandah of the main house, they vaguely heard the people talking in the house, their voices were quite loud, and the conversation was quite high.

Further on, under the porch of the main house, the sound became clearer.

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but feel funny, it turned out that it was no one else who was talking energetically, but it was the fifth lady of the Cui family, Cui Wanyun. (To be continued......)
