Chapter 31 A little pink and pretty smoke
"You remember, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion is no better than those big rich people's families, how many foreign relationships are involved here, you must remember, now Mrs. is favored, and the other ladies who are left out in the cold are eager to catch the handle of Mrs., besides, the young general is the first male born to the general, how many people are delaying and watching, the disaster comes from the mouth, talk less, do more things, understand no, I have no intention of reprimanding you, I am just worried that you say the wrong thing, and you will ...... in the future"
Yan'er remembered that she had seen a maid who recklessly said the wrong thing before, and disappeared without a trace after a few days, needless to say, the maids all knew that although the third lady had always been benevolent and kind, it was not a trivial matter when it came to the major general of the General's Mansion.
"Sister Yan'er, Huan'er knows that she is wrong, fortunately her sister reminded her, otherwise if those words were spread just now, she would have caused a big disaster today, and the consequences ......" Thinking about it, Huan'er suddenly turned red, and secretly blamed herself for why her mind was not as careful as Yan'er, in the past few years, she has been outspoken and fast-talking, and she has more or less missed a few words.
Every time, I always want Yan'er to block for myself, fortunately, I am staying in Suqiu Courtyard, if I am in Xueliu Courtyard, I am afraid that I will be beaten unconscious a long time ago, I am really tired of Yan'er's sister, my sister is only a few months older than herself, why is she so uncompetitive.
"Okay, Huan'er, don't you still have my sister to teach you to point you, don't mention it, you can help me comb my hair quickly, if you delay it any longer, the sky will be dawn, and there are many things to be busy today."
Yan'er looked at the light outside the window and gradually got into the room, and hurriedly urged Qi'er, who was crying and her nose was so red when something happened, so she couldn't bear to scold her again.
"Okay, what kind of bun does Sister Yan'er want to comb today? The young general was born safely, today is a big day, should Sister Yan'er change her hair in a bun, she combs her ordinary double-ring hanging bun every day, and she really can't call her sister such a beautiful flower and moon appearance. ”
Huan'er looked at Sister Yan'er in the rhombic bronze mirror, her delicate little face was not powdered, but she was still charming and moving, her eyebrows were like a thin moon, her eyes were shining in the autumn waves, and under the small white Qiong nose, the pink and lovely cherry lips were like a beautiful flower, delicate and gorgeous.
"Today is indeed a special day, then it's still a double bun, but don't hang down the bun, comb me a double bun and look at the fairy bun, Huan'er, don't hold me to the sky, compared with the third lady, my appearance is like a sky, a ground, if the third lady's appearance has ten points, I am afraid that I will not be able to match a point."
When Huan'er combed her hair, Yan'er didn't stop on her hands, applied lead powder on her plain face, painted her eyebrows, and lightly applied some rouge to the sides of her cheeks, looking a little ruddy and energetic.
"That's good, Huan'er will use her super high skills today to make Sister Yan'er's hair bun unique and dazzling among all the maids in the General's Mansion, although the third lady is one in a million in appearance, but Sister Yan'er, you are not bad."
As she spoke, her hands didn't stop, first combing Yan'er's lacquer-like three thousand green silk with a comb grate, and then dividing her jet-black hair into two strands, binding them into rings with black belts, towering above her head, "Sister Yan'er, what should you wear today?"
Yan'er opened the small drawer next to the bronze mirror of the dresser, took out a headdress and handed it to Huan'er, "Just use this silver-gilt flower, bird, bird and agate to shake it, this is what Mrs. rewarded me last time, I heard that this agate is the best goods in the Western Regions, I like this very much." ”
Hu'er took this step to shake, and her eyes lit up, "It is worthy of being a foreign product from the Western Regions, this agate is crystal clear, the water is translucent, and it is a first-class product at a glance, this step is really special, Sister Yan'er, you see, this step shakes like the shape of a bird, and in the mouth of the bird, there is also a string of beads, which is too lifelike." ”
Huan'er shook the agate step on the top of the cigarette's head and inserted the green silk diagonally down, and touched the bead string with his hand, and shook the step on the hair gently and slowly, swaying vividly.
"This bird, look very gratifying, this material must be noble, the production process is afraid that it is also cumbersome, when the third lady rewarded me, I can't put it down, this step shakes, I am also very fond of it."
Yan'er looked at herself in the bronze mirror of Linghua, and touched Bu Shao with her hand, the third lady rewarded herself with such a high-grade step Shao that day, and she was flattered for a long time.
"Sister Yan'er is really beautiful when she wears this step, like a fairy descending from the earth, but she doesn't have the stunning face of Sister Yan'er." Yan'er looked carefully at the face reflected in the rhombic mirror, and said that the immortals were boasting a little, but this monotonous black bun was put on a step shake, which added a little brightness and color to the bun, adding a little charm to his light and plain face.
"Where is the heavenly immortal descending to earth, don't be poor anymore, I don't know what I look like, sister, I'm still a little self-aware." Yan'er got up from the dresser, turned around and pulled Han'er to sit down, and it was her turn to comb her hair in a bun.
"Look at you in the mirror, with a goose egg face, slender eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate complexion, obviously you look delicate and cute, and you make fun of me, what kind of bun do you want to comb today? Do you want to do the same with me?"
"No need, I still prefer double buns, Sister Yan'er can comb me with a double bun." Huan'er smiled playfully at Yan'er, Yan'er looked at the bright smile, although Huan'er was almost in her prime, her mind was still as immature as a child.
Yan'er gathered the green silk on the top, and then divided into two strands to tie each into a small bun, and then took out a jasper hairpin from the small drawer next to the rhombic bronze mirror and inserted it into the bun, the hairpin was decorated with a thin silver wire beaded tassel, and the sound was crisp and pleasant when touched slightly.
After the two of them finished dressing up, the sky was a little brighter, Yan'er hurriedly got up, first went to the lady's main house to explore, the third lady and the young general were sleeping, the general was no longer by the lady's side, presumably they went to the palace early in the morning, they gently pushed open the door of the main house, and the servants and maids in the courtyard outside were already busy.
Yan'er and Huan'er were about to go to the back kitchen to see how Madame's breakfast was prepared, when they passed through the ear room and heard the cry of the nurse and the child inside, one after the other, without any tendency to stop.
Yan'er hurriedly went to the back kitchen to inspect, Bendu had already walked a few steps, and saw that the cry was really sad, if others were like this, she would have stopped, but this is the young general's nurse, with a special identity, thought about it and turned back, knocked on the door of the ear room, and just didn't knock twice, the door opened with a creak from the inside.
"Nurse, why is the child crying so much?" Yan'er looked at the child crying with her mouth open in the nurse's arms, this nurse, looking not very old, a delicate little lady, looks like a Peugeot, but the face is yellow and thin, I heard that it was found in Licheng County, where the flood occurred, Xu because of the flood, hunger and a full meal caused such a haggard face.
The nurse opened the door, looked at the two girls who knocked on the door, and a girl standing in front looked at her child, her face was slightly anxious, and she saw that these two girls were not dressed like inferior maids, and they should be able to speak, "Girl, my child is hungry, I dare not breastfeed him, since the third lady gave birth to the child last night, I have been waiting for the third lady to call me into the house, but I waited until the second half of the night, I saw that the child was crying very much, I fed my own child a little milk, my milk is not enough, I'm afraid that my wife and children won't drink enough, so I ......."
The nurse shook the child in her arms as she spoke, as if she wanted to shake him to sleep, but the child was hungry, and she couldn't coax him, so the child in her arms opened her mouth wide and cried heartbreakingly.
"Nurse, you can call me Yan'er, her name is Huan'er, both of us are Mrs.'s personal maids, and I am to blame for this, Mrs. gave birth to the young general last night, and I didn't have time to say a word to you, let you wait here, you go into the house and feed the child quickly, let's go into the house and say, it's late autumn, it's windy at the door, don't freeze the child."
Saying that, Yan'er and Huan'er entered the ear room specially prepared for your nurse, and the nurse entered the house and hurriedly fed the child, and the child ate some of them, so she stopped crying, and the noisy ear room was quiet all of a sudden.
"This lady is only afraid that she will have to feed the young general in person in the next few days, nurse, you don't need to wait here, you are hungry for your own children, if the lady is in need, I will send someone to inform you an hour in advance, you will take your children to sleep well at night, and the lady will personally take the young general at night."
"Congratulations to the third lady, I gave birth to a young general, yesterday I saw you in the house busy outside, my child is crying, and I didn't dare to come out with the child for fear of arguing with you, the third lady is so blessed that she gave birth to a young general."
The nurse looked at the baby who was about to sleep with her eyes gradually closed in her arms, this person's fate is really arranged by God, some children are born with brocade and silk, and some children are born hungry, but it is better to die than to live, it is better than those babies who died in the flood.
"Then you take the child to rest, three meals a day I will tell the kitchen to send you on time, you don't have to wait here all day waiting for the call, you should rest, you should eat, after all, you are a nurse, then we will be busy first."
"Miss Xie Yan'er, I really met a good person." The nurse nodded again and again and thanked her, this nurse has also been a miserable person since she was a child, she feels that her status is humble, and the maids of the general's mansion are so polite to her, which makes her feel a little flattered.
Yan'er went out of the nurse's ear room, and went straight to the back kitchen, this lady's confinement meal has to be kept an eye on at all times, Xiao Xiazi is directing inside and outside the kitchen, his eyes are sharp, and he saw Yan'er at the door waving at him, and hurriedly greeted him.
