Chapter 15: Young Lady Zhen
Out of the garden, there was an east corner door to the south, locked, and Zhen ordered a woman to open the door. smiled and said to Wu: "Auntie, I heard that this was originally the place where the old lady was raised, and the nephew and daughter-in-law had not yet entered the door at that time."
Wu looked at it and said a little sentimentally: "At that time, our Shen family was still in the capital, and the old lady liked that it was quiet and no one disturbed it."
Speaking, the corner door opened, Wanzhen followed behind, seeing that this was an independent small courtyard, there were things and partial courtyards next to the main courtyard, Zhen smiled and said: "This place is where my aunt's family lives, close to the old lady's upper room, it is convenient to come, there are always more than 20 houses in total, wronged aunt, aunt instructs nephew and daughter-in-law if she thinks it is inappropriate."
Wu was helped by Zhen to the main house, she was familiar with this place, walked to the center of the courtyard, stopped, looked back at a few girls, and ordered: "Yun'er and Zhu'er live in the west courtyard, Zhen'er and Yu'er live in the east courtyard, and Xin'er lives with me."
Seeing this distribution, Wanzhen wondered in her heart that the Wu family was afraid that the fifth girl and the sixth girl would fight and lose face by living in a relative's house.
The big girl in front of Zhen called Qingmei and said, "The third girl, the sixth girl and the slave maid are here."
Wanzhen listened to her and looked at her intently, Qingmei Rong had a long face, and her posture was ordinary, but she looked steady and not frivolous, and she was able to distinguish a few girls not long after, it can be seen that she is a careful, slave maid is like this, not to mention the master, I want Zhen to be extraordinary.
In front of Zhen's family, another big girl, Hanmei, took the fourth and fifth girls towards the west courtyard.
Qingmei led into the east courtyard, this small courtyard is not big, there are no flowers and plants in the courtyard, a few green bamboos, showing tranquility, there are two ginkgo trees against the south wall, the branches are luxuriant, Shen Wanyu looked left and right curiously: "Third sister, the roof ridge of the house in the capital is tall, thicker than the wall of our Shandong home."
Qingmei smiled, reminded the girl's feet, and said: "The capital is colder than Shandong, and the house is naturally warm."
Shen Wanyu said happily: "The climate in the capital is much cooler than in our home."
Qingmei smiled and didn't talk much.
There are three main rooms, Wanzhen lives in the east room, Wanyu lives in the west room, Xiuju and Qiaoshan live in the east wing, and the six girls Shen Wanyu's girls Jin Chan and Duanyun live in the east room.
There is a kang in the inner room, a big bed, cage cabinets, window screens and bedding on the bed are all new, looking clean and refreshing, you can see the owner's thoughts, Wanzhen glanced out, knowing that Qingmei had not left, out of the house, Qingmei said respectfully: "The girl is still satisfied, if she is not satisfied, tell the slave."
Wanzhen said: "Let my sister-in-law bother, it's good."
and ordered Xiuju to take a jade bracelet to reward her, Qingmei hurriedly excused herself and said: "The slave has no size, and I dare not accept the reward of the cousin."
Wanzhen took the bracelet and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "This is what I often wear at home, it's not worth any money, so I do a little thought."
Wanzhen took this bracelet for consideration, the bracelet is not particularly precious, but the jade is good, too precious to reward people, it is inevitable that her master will think more, it is too shabby and makes people feel that they do not pay attention to it, this girl is used by Zhen at a glance.
Qingmei had no choice but to squat down and say, "Thank you for the reward."
Looking at the five girls in the West Room but not coming out, Wanzhen said: "Sister is busy, sister-in-law is in charge of a large family, I want to find my sister for a while, I have nothing to do, there is a maid waiting, and the sixth sister has nothing to do."
Qingmei came out of the small courtyard, and saw the eldest young lady Zhen coming down from the steps of the upper room, and Zhen arranged the Wu family properly before coming out.
At this time, Hanmei's also came out of the west side courtyard.
Qingmei greeted her, helped Zhen's arm and walked out of the corner door, only then took out the jade bracelet and said, "This is the third cousin's reward."
At this time, Hanmei also took out a gold bracelet from her arms and said, "This is the reward of the fourth cousin girl."
Zhen only looked at the gold bracelet in Hanmei's hand, and at a glance he knew that the road was pure gold, but he didn't pay attention to it, but he took the jade bracelet in Qingmei's hand, looked at the light, took a closer look, and said: "The color is good, and it can be regarded as good."
said to the two: "Even if it is rewarded by the cousin, take it all."
After a while, Zhen said thoughtfully: "It seems that these three girls are good people."
Han Mei said puzzledly: "The things rewarded by the third cousin girl are not expensive at first glance, they are not as valuable as the things rewarded by the fourth girl, how can the young lady say that the third cousin girl will be a person."
Zhen said: "If the third cousin girl rewards more than the fourth cousin girl, wouldn't it be trespassing."
Qingmei knew in her heart, and said: "Although the fourth cousin girl is young, she is a concubine, and her rank is higher than that of the third girl."
Zhen said: "This is her finesse."
Han Mei said admiringly: "Although the third cousin girl and the fourth cousin girl came from a small place, they know the depth of being a person."
Zhen's mind turned a few times, and said: "But you see that the fifth cousin girl and the sixth cousin girl are different, it can be seen that people's personalities have nothing to do with what they are from and where they live."
Xindao: How could the fifth cousin and the sixth cousin put this girl of yours in their eyes, their eyes facing upward, and their daughter-in-law Wu Ailian.
Leaving the small courtyard, Zhen sighed lightly, the boundless troubles in his heart came up, and he quickened his pace, and as soon as he entered the courtyard of his big house, Wu Jinglan's two Tongfang purple jade and green jade greeted him, and said with a flattering smile: "The young lady has worked hard for half a day."
Zhen didn't look at the two, went directly into the main house, entered the inner room, the maid stepped forward to wait for the wide clothes, and the two also saw that the young lady's face was not good, and for some reason, they didn't dare to leave.
Zhen changed into homely clothes, glanced at the two, and said lightly: "You two go down, I don't have to wait."
The two quit.
Zhen looked at the backs of the two of them and said: "Useless things, they can't give birth to them, they will hook up with gentlemen, and they can't eat them."
Qingmei saw that there was no one in the house, and whispered: "I heard that Mrs. meant to give ...... to my grandfather."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Qingmei hurriedly stopped talking, and the uncle Wu Jinglan came in with a curtain by herself, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" ”
Zhen Shi hurriedly got up, instantly changed his smile, and said, "Why did the uncle come in?"
Wu Jinglan said with a smile: "After a family banquet, I will come in and change my clothes."
Zhen hurriedly instructed the maid to find clothes for her father, and when she saw her husband's good-looking face overflowing with a smile, her heart couldn't help but hurt.
