Chapter 081: Missing Earrings (Three Changes)
Su Xue stared intently, and was curious, Qianrou's side was finished, carefully soaked in water, wrung out the clothes carefully, shook them open, and took them into the house to set up a small stove to dry.
The powder just now, could it be this ancient laundry detergent?
When I was in Jiangfu before, these chores were taken to the outer courtyard by the maids to do it, Su Xue didn't have a chance to see it, but now that I look at it, it's quite novel.
The clothes were drying on the small stove, and Qianrou didn't dare to leave her for a moment, and kept turning them so that they could be baked evenly.
The small stove specially added some plum blossom spices, so that the whole room was also fragrant.
Su Xue half-leaned on the carved bedpost of red sandalwood, looking at Qianrou who was busy with a slightly drunken gaze.
Suddenly sighed, this ancient time is really exquisite, isn't it just a night stay? The whole three sets of clothes are not enough, and they have to be so busy drying them.
But she doesn't need to worry about these troubles, she, the young lady, just stares at it.
I can't help but feel that such a leisurely day is really good, I don't have to worry about food, I don't have to worry about clothes, and there are people to serve ......
But at the same time, there are also calculations.
Su Xue sighed lightly and closed her eyes slightly to take a nap.
Qianrou had been focusing on tinkering with the clothes, so she didn't pay attention to Su Xue's side, and when the clothes were about to dry, Yan's mother happened to come over.
took the same warm clothes, handed them back to Qianrou's hands, glanced at Su Xue, who was hugging the bedpost for a rest, coughed deliberately, and said: "When the lamp is turned on, the eldest lady is going to the main hall to dine with Mrs. Xing, if the third lady is tired and doesn't want to go, you have to inform the old slave earlier." Otherwise, Mrs. Xing will blame at that time. ”
Su Xue was awakened in vain, and the whole person was still a little confused. only looked at Yan's mother blankly.
Yan's mother glanced at Su Xue a few times, but didn't say anything more. He left his clothes and withdrew.
While walking around, he muttered to himself, these three young ladies are clearly still the same stupid appearance...... Maybe it's all a coincidence, it's just a lot of thinking. The eldest lady's worries are really a bit superfluous.
Mother Yan returned to the eldest lady's room, the previous tea-stained clothes had been washed and dried, and the second lady was still crying at first, but under the persuasion of the eldest lady, she gradually regained her calm.
"Don't complain about your mother, Master Xing and Young Master Xing are both here at dinner. Master Xing is more gentle, so don't talk nonsense when the time comes, just eat decently. "The eldest lady no longer expects the second lady to please the Xing family, as long as she doesn't make a fool of herself, it will be considered lucky.
After hearing this, the second young lady turned pale: "Mother, you are used to saying empty words to coax me, Mrs. Xing clearly didn't mean that, but you said that, so I almost blurted it out today!" ”
The eldest lady also had no choice but to hold her forehead, this incident was indeed her mistake. That was just the plan in her heart, and Mrs. Xing didn't say anything. Originally, she just wanted to make Yan Yun feel at ease, after all, if Yan Yun had that thought, she would be even more good at life. Mrs. Xing's impression of her will naturally not be bad.
But who would have thought that it would be counterproductive.
Yan's mother scared the second miss before, causing the second miss to stain her clothes, so she didn't dare to speak silently. Immersed in work, afraid that the eldest lady would blame.
But the eldest lady still caught her and reprimanded her.
"You too. Did you hit a ghost or something? What's all the fuss? If Yanyun hadn't been scared by you and soiled her clothes, she wouldn't have ended up like this! ”
Yan's mother buried her head even lower. In fact, she really wanted to tell the eldest lady about the situation at that time, and the third lady had already walked to the door, but the eldest lady and the second lady were saying things like that, and she was also in a hurry to shout out like that.
But now that the eldest lady is angry, everything she says is looking for scolding, so she has to bury her head in listening and dare not make a sound.
When it was about to get dark, Su Xue went out in advance to wait outside the eldest lady's room, she had just woken up and was dizzy, but then she woke up thoroughly, and she understood the urgency of this dinner.
Sure enough, not long after, the eldest lady and the second lady also walked out dressed in beautiful clothes. It can be seen that this dinner is very important.
The mother-in-law of Xingfu had not yet come to invite, so the eldest lady walked to the flower hall on the pretext of taking a walk.
Su Xue followed behind, walking slowly, this Xingfu was bigger than she imagined, coming out of the wing, she had to pass through the bluestone road, through the inner courtyard garden, and walk through two semicircular arch bridges across the lotus pond to get close to the flower hall.
The sky was getting dark, and the little maid of Xingfu came from the main hall, and as soon as she walked to the flower hall, she saw the eldest lady, so she blessed and said, "Mrs. Jiang, the lady has passed the meal over there." ”
The eldest lady was overjoyed, glanced at Su Xue quickly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xing has to pray for blessings before dinner, and if you think about it, there is no past, so I am not in a hurry." ”
The little maid smiled after hearing this: "Mrs. Jiang really understands Mrs., Mrs. will not go over until about a quarter of an hour, I thought that Mrs. Jiang is still in the wing, so the little one came over in advance." ”
The eldest lady nodded and smiled.
The little maid also smiled and bowed again, and withdrew.
Su Xue thought that with the urgency of the eldest wife, she would be busy rushing over to wait, but this time, she was actually more stable.
Spare the flower hall, and walk back for a while, Su Xue estimated the time, it should be almost over, but the eldest lady suddenly whispered, touched her earlobe and shouted: "Ouch, where are my earrings!" ”
As soon as the eldest lady shouted, Yan's mother and the second lady panicked and rushed together.
I saw that the eldest lady's right ear was empty, and against the backdrop of this floating green pill, the vacancy seemed even more abrupt.
The eldest lady spun around in a panic, lowered her head and searched on the bluestone ground, and urged in her mouth: "Yanyun, Sister Xue'er, hurry up, hurry up!" Help me find it! ”
The second lady immediately responded, and no longer cared about anything else, and searched carefully along the side of the road.
Su Xue was embarrassed to stand still, so she followed the path she came from to look carefully.
But now that it's dark, did you prepare a lantern when you went out, and you just walked such a long way, how do you know where the earrings fell? How easy is it to get it back right away?
Su Xue wanted to say that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack like this, it was better to go back to the room and get a new pair of earrings to replace them, maybe she could still catch up.
But the eldest lady seemed to have insight into her thoughts. Before she could say anything, the eldest lady choked up and said, "That was given to me by Mrs. Xing before." I don't want to wear it, but I can't lose it. Must be recovered! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the second lady and said, "Let's go to the flower hall to find it." ”
pointed to Su Xue again: "Sister Xue, you and Qianrou go over there to find it." ”
Su Xue looked in the direction the eldest lady pointed.
Isn't that the direction of the wing?
It's almost time for dinner, is it appropriate for her to go back like this?
But without waiting for Su Xue to ask, the eldest lady took the second lady and walked quickly to the flower hall, leaving only Su Xue and Qianrou here.
Looking at the darkening sky, Su Xue sighed: "Hurry up and look for it, maybe it's around here." ”
Qianrou also nodded helplessly, leaned down and stared intently at the ground to find it back.
Now it's time to hold the lights. The maids in the house are also busy with their work, and the maids who are close to them have gone to the main hall to serve dinner, but there are few people here.
Su Xue couldn't help but think of the scene in the Jiangfu Chiting Water Pavilion before, at that time, only she and Miaomeng were left......
She suddenly became vigilant, stepped forward and grabbed Qianrou's sleeve, and reminded: "Look for it, don't get separated from me." ”
Qianrou heard the cowardice in Su Xue's voice, nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry." The little one will stay with the young lady all the time. ”
Su Xue was still a little frightened, but when she heard this, her heart was inexplicably warm.
Seeing Su Xue staring at her, Qianrou smiled again: "Besides, this is Xingfu." Even if you get separated, you'll be fine. ”
Su Xue nodded, but she still pulled Qianrou's cuffs tightly and refused to let go.
It's getting dark.
The eldest lady took the second lady and hurriedly walked to the flower hall. Looking back, Su Xue's sight was already out. immediately gathered a panicked look and straightened up. Put on a dignified look.
Yan's mother covered her mouth and smiled, took out the eldest lady's earrings from her arms, and put them on for the eldest lady.
The second lady was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled proudly, looked at the main hall not far from the flower hall, and said, "Mother, the hour is almost up." ”
The eldest lady held back her smugness and said solemnly: "Well, Sister Xue can't find it, since she will come over, we will go over first, so as not to make Mrs. Xing wait for a long time." ”
After speaking, he walked with the second lady in the direction of the main hall.
Jiang Suxue has already taken away Yanyun's demeanor twice and three times, tonight's dinner Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing and Young Master Xing are all there, she can't let Jiang Suxue have a little loophole to exploit.
Slowly came to the outside of the main hall, thinking that the time was just right, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing had not yet arrived.
The eldest lady thought about it, and according to the hour, Mrs. Xing was about to arrive, so wait outside the hall, and she couldn't stand for a while.
Yan Yun has already made Mrs. Xing dissatisfied during the day, and this time she will change into this turquoise jacket, so hold on for a while and leave a good impression on Mrs. Xing.
Sure enough, after a while, there were little maids with lanterns coming over, and behind them were the three members of the Xing family.
Seeing this, the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and saluted Mrs. Xing: "The Fang clan has seen Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing, and Young Master Xing. ”
The second lady also hurriedly saluted.
Mrs. Xing smiled kindly, and hurriedly said: "I knew that Mrs. Jiang was in the mansion, but I was afraid that Mrs. Jiang would not be well entertained, so I came back in advance." ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she was so flattered that her eyes lit up, and she laughed and said: "Mrs. Xing is polite, it is the people's daughter who is bothering, how dare you bother Mrs. Xing?" ”
Mrs. Xing stood aside and listened quietly, glanced at the eldest lady with a smile, turned her face to Mrs. Xing and said, "Where is the old man?" said that the concubine seemed to be very unruly. When Mrs. Jiang came to the house, the concubine asked the maid to arrange a place to live half a month ago. ”
Mrs. Xing knew that she had just said the wrong thing, her face changed, and she hurriedly explained: "Madame is naturally thoughtful in everything, otherwise I wouldn't be so idle." ”
Mrs. Xing was barely satisfied, glanced inside, and said, "What are you doing here, go in and eat." ”
After that, he raised his steps and walked in, Mrs. Xing glanced at her a few times, made sure that she was not angry, and secretly sweated.
When the eldest lady saw that Mrs. Xing had eaten Mrs. Xing to death, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart, it seemed that Mrs. Xing couldn't count this matter of Yan Yun, and Mrs. Xing had to pass Mrs. Xing's level. (To be continued......)
