Chapter Twenty-Four: Shadows
Hearing Zhen Yan's murderous voice, Zhen Miao hurriedly raised her head and smiled: "Second sister, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
Zhen Yan glared at Zhen Miao, saw her with a bright smile, and sighed: "You can count it." ”
Zhen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but it was over.
I heard Zhen Yan ask, "What do you have?" ”
Zhen Miao......
"Fourth sister, you should pay attention, the third sister is not simple." Zhen Yan told Zhen Miao in detail, "Look at the girl she chose, she looks ordinary, but that girl's grandmother used to serve the old lady, her father is the little housekeeper in charge of purchasing in the outer courtyard, and she has an older brother who works in the pharmacy." Although they are all inconspicuous identities, sometimes, they have a big effect. ”
"The third sister is really careful." Zhen Miao said and pulled Zhen Yan's hand, "But the second sister is also very powerful." ”
Zhen Yan nodded Zhen Miao's forehead helplessly: "No matter how powerful I am, I won't calculate you, but the third sister is not necessarily." I've been watching coldly these days, and I'm afraid that her resentment towards you has not disappeared. ”
Speaking of this, Zhen Miao also sighed.
"Okay, be careful yourself, it's not a sister in the same room, and it's not so easy to calculate you."
After the two sisters finished talking, they left hand in hand.
After returning to Agarwood Garden, Zhen Miaoming Zisu called all the girls in the courtyard and stood with the five newcomers.
Zhen Miao glanced around and said, "The people in the courtyard are finally all together today, so I'll talk about it." Sister Zisu was originally a first-class maid beside the old lady, so she will naturally be in charge of you in the future. As for the other people's ranks, it's not too late to report them in a few days. ”
As soon as these words were said, the maids had different expressions, and they knew what level they would set at that time, depending on their performance these days.
Zhen Miao named the five newcomers, the best looking one is called Ah Luan, the youngest is called Xiao Cicada, the temperamental one is called Bailing, the calmer one is called Nightingale, and the fat girl is called Qingge, plus the finch who was promoted to the third class by her a few days ago, it is just right.
In the following days, Zhen Miao was extremely busy.
In addition to the usual practice of martial arts, I have to go to the big kitchen every day to make a nourishing meal for Wen's family, and I will personally watch her eat it.
Thinking that Zhen Yan was about to get married, he planned to embroider a few double-sided handkerchiefs for her.
Looking at the silk thread taken from the sewing room, Zhen Miao was not very satisfied.
These threads are not bad, but there are too few colors and some are old.
"Girl, if you're not satisfied, why don't you buy some from outside?" Bai Ling, who was in charge of taking the silk thread, suggested.
"Buying from outside?" Zhen Miao hesitated.
Bai Ling hurriedly said: "Yes, the maid inquired in the needlework room, the thread from the Tianxiu Pavilion is excellent, the color is many and bright, but the price is relatively expensive, and it is generally not bought." ”
The embroidery thread in Tianxiu Pavilion is good and expensive, Zhen Miao also heard about it, thought about it, and nodded: "In this case, you go and say it, and let the purchasing steward bring some." ”
"Whoa." Bailing is brittle.
On the second day, Bai Ling brought the newly purchased silk thread.
Looking at the bright and colorful silk threads, Zhen Miao nodded with satisfaction and began to embroider the veil.
She has the original owner's embroidery skills, because she hasn't touched it for a long time, she is a little rusty, and the embroidery is a little slow, but fortunately, the handkerchief does not need too complicated patterns, and the time is enough.
On this day, the Yu family came to visit the door, and saw Zhen Miao sitting under the tree embroidering, and the two shallot-like maids took turns to fan her, so they smiled and said: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen you go out these days, it turns out that I don't squat, I changed to embroidery, and there is such a beautiful girl fanning, I am really comfortable." ”
Yu is the daughter of a military general, her father's official position is not high, and her life in the boudoir is not as fine as the daughter of the Xungui family.
Zhen Miao was facing the light line, and when she heard this, she hurriedly put the wire basket aside, got up to meet it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here." Isn't this just the right light, embroidering these things hurts your eyes when it's dark, and you can squat at any time, and your sister-in-law will give you advice later. ”
As for the two girls who fanned behind them, they didn't mention it.
In fact, she is really not used to calling people like this, but the new girls are always competing for performance these days, so they go.
Zhen Miao led Yu to sit under the tree.
Yu glanced at the embroidered bandage and couldn't help but be surprised.
The white handkerchief is embroidered with roses, most of the flowers are budding and waiting to be released, the most amazing thing is that the red flowers are positive and bright, there is an indescribable sense of heaviness, so that the embroidered flowers seem to be alive.
Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and sighed: "Fourth sister, your embroidery is really good, this embroidery is vivid, and it feels like you can take it off when you reach out." ”
Zhen Miao also marveled at the original owner's deep efforts in the female red, but she was not easy to brag, so she took the thread basket and said: "Sister-in-law, you see, how well I chose this thread, especially this red, I have never seen such a bright one, and it is the most suitable to embroider this red rose." ”
hopes that her second sister, that dignified and intelligent woman, can have a slowly blooming love.
Yu's is not good at female red, only looked at it slightly, nodded in agreement, and couldn't put it down to caress the roses, lowered his head and sniffed, and teased: "I can't help but smell if there is a fragrance of flowers, it's a pity, not only not, but it doesn't smell good, shouldn't the fourth sister not wash her hands when embroidering?" ”
Zhen Miaoha smiled: "Sister-in-law, if you really like it, I will embroider a handkerchief for you after embroidering this, which can be regarded as a thank you teacher, and I promise to wash my hands cleanly when I touch a needle." ”
Zhen Miao is a goose egg face, there is still baby fat at this age, although the body is thin, but the face is fleshy, this smile shows a pair of dimples, and it is very gratifying to look at.
The two sisters-in-law have been close to each other in the past few months, and Yu couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch her face: "The fourth sister wants to speak, but the sister-in-law can remember." ”
At this time, Qingge brought a plate of peaches: "Girl, grandma, eat peaches." ”
Looking at the five big and three thick maids, Yu Shi was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the two girls who looked like flowers behind Zhen Miao, and wondered if the difference was a little bigger.
Xiao Cicada and Bai Ling, who were standing behind Zhen Miao, also had some bad feelings in their hearts.
Looking at it coldly these days, the girl obviously wants to see this fat girl, what is this for!
Zhen Miao picked up a peach and handed it to Yu: "Sister-in-law, this peach was just picked from the peach tree in my yard, it's fresh, you can taste it." ”
Yu's appetite is excellent now, and when he saw a big pink peach, he had already eaten his tongue, so he took a bite of it with a handkerchief, and the flesh was tender and juicy, and it tasted better than the one bought outside.
However, she was pregnant, and she didn't dare to eat too many peaches, so she stopped eating one, and then sat down for a while and left.
Not long after returning to the room, Yu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, his throat was itchy, and he opened his mouth and spit it out.
Yu'er's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly ran to the study outside.
"What's wrong?" Zhen Huanzheng was playing chess with Jiang Chen, and when he saw this, he put down his chess pieces.
"Uncle, grandma, she vomited and her stomach hurts!"
Zhen Huan's face changed when he heard this, and he shouted at Jiang Chen and hurried back.
PS: Thank you Li Xuexue for the peach blossom fan.
