Chapter 65: Coaxing the Young Sister
Xu Jiayi woke up early the next morning, and the first thing she did was to ask Cui Xin about the situation in the hospital. Cuiyun shook her head and said that she didn't know the situation, otherwise she would send the little maid to inquire at this time?
Xu Jiayi waved her hand to refuse, and the moment she lifted the quilt, she felt a chill coming, "It's windy outside?" Why is it so cold. ”
"It snowed a lot yesterday, and it's time for the snow to melt now, it's very cold, girl, you need to wear more." Cuiyun replied while waiting for Xu Jiayi to wash.
Last night it snowed heavily, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. The housekeeper in the house got up early in the morning and commanded the little maid to clear the snow, so that the masters of each yard could walk.
Xu Jiayi looked at the rare thick layer of snow outside, happily put on her clothes and went out of Jiaxi Garden. Now Wang Yunxiu is a girl to be married, and she will not go out to attend banquets on weekdays, so she basically stays at home and embroiders a dowry for herself. Xu Jiayi also wanted to find Wang Yunxiu to build a snowman together in the past.
She had this idea at the end of last year when the snow was heavy, but at that time, there were many things in the house, so she didn't have this opportunity. Originally, I thought that I would only have a chance until the end of this year, but I didn't expect that there was such a thick snow last night, and it happened that there was this opportunity.
But before that, she still has one more thing to do, and that is to visit Cui Xin.
When I arrived at Cui Xin's yard, I saw a little maid standing at her door, and when I saw her coming, I immediately came up to greet her.
The little maid saw Xu Jiayi salute first, and then followed behind Xu Jiayi and said slowly, "Miss Jiayi, you can be regarded as coming." My girl hasn't been out of the room all day, and it was useless to have dinner last day, and the slave is really worried that something will happen. My girl listens to you the most on weekdays, so please persuade my girl. ”
Xu Jiayi's eyes fell on the closed door when she heard this, and she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, waited for a while but there was no response, the maid next to Cui Xin next to her stopped talking when she saw it, and saw Xu Jiayi nodding slightly before shouting into the house, "Girl, open the door, Miss Jiayi has come to see you, and she is at the door at this time." ”
Cui Xin in the house paused, listened sideways for a while and didn't hear Xu Jiayi's voice, then buried his head in the brocade quilt again, and cried silently.
"Has your girl ever had breakfast?"
The little maid shook her head, "No, there has been no water since yesterday." ”
I sent the little maid to fetch a basin of hot water, and by the way, I boiled two hot eggs and brought them. After everything was taken, Xu Jiayi took the basin, tapped her chin on the closed door, and spit out two words with her thin lips, "Smash open." ”
"Huh?" The little maid looked at Xu Jiayi in a daze, saw her unhappy frowning, nodded and hurriedly answered, and found two strong mothers-in-law to come over and let them knock the door open.
"You go to the kitchen, and in half an hour bring something to eat." After Xu Jiayi gave this sentence, she asked Cuiyun and the others to stay outside, walked into the house by themselves, and closed the door behind them when they entered.
Cui Xin was startled the moment the door was knocked open, but after hearing Xu Jiayi's voice, she didn't feel scared, but she didn't move, waiting for Xu Jiayi to come in.
At this time, Cui Xin was lying on the brocade quilt and crying a lot, thinking of the words she said to her sister when she left, she felt aggrieved and distressed, and her tears have hardly stopped since yesterday.
That is, I fell asleep crying, and after waking up, I still felt wronged, and I couldn't help crying.
Xu Jiayi glanced at Cui Xin, who was lying on the bed, put the basin and hot eggs in her hand on the table, and walked over slowly. Hearing the footsteps gradually approaching, Cui Xin slowly raised her head to look at Xu Jiayi, and called out "Sister Yiyi" vaguely.
Seeing that Cui Xin's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she could barely see her eyes, Xu Jiayi was angry and distressed, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Cui Xin's face away, "Why are you crying like this?" What did I tell you last time, you forgot? ”
"I haven't forgotten ......"
She just has to do what she has to do, just have a clear conscience, and don't take the rest to heart. Even if someone doesn't like her and dislikes her, she still has a cousin and grandmother, and an aunt.
She remembered all this, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, it was her own sister, her own sister of her mother's compatriots, how could she say that?
She didn't love vanity, her elbows turned out, she just felt that people should know how to repay their kindness, obviously Shangshufu is a benefactor who is kind to them, why does my sister always feel that Shangshufu is sorry for her?!
Xu Jiayi didn't know what Cui Qing said to Cui Xin, and she didn't know what role Cui played in this, none of that mattered, and she didn't care.
"Okay, don't cry, look at your swollen eyes, you shouldn't be able to open them if you cry again......"
"Tears are the most useless thing, even if you hide in the house and cry all night, what's the use?"
"What can't be held in your heart, but it's not like you venting like this, what's the difference between you and masochism?"
"I haven't eaten in two days, I'm hungry, aren't you? You're really stupid, and you don't know how hard you can resist hiding some pastries and tea in the house to cushion your stomach. ”
"How can you have the strength to cry if you don't eat enough?"
Xu Jiayi twisted the hot handkerchief and came over to clean Cui Xin's face, and then asked her to close her eyes and roll on her eyes with a hot egg, so that the swelling would disappear earlier. Cui Xin lay on the bed obediently and let Xu Jiayi fiddle with herself, and she didn't feel angry at all after listening to her chatter.
Cui Xin listened to Xu Jiayi's comfort in her ears, but she really didn't cry anymore, she turned her head to look at Xu Jiayi with hazy teary eyes, and looked like she was going to cry or not, and Xu Jiayi sighed in her heart again.
Cui Xin, a cousin, is good everywhere, but she loves to cry a little, so that everyone can get used to her crying.
Xu Jiayi frowned a little unhappily and said, "When can you change your crying temperament, is it possible that others will bully you when you leave the house in the future, and you will cry at others when you are wronged?" ”
In the past, when she first appeared in the circle of nobles in Yanjing City, those young ladies and girls also pointed to Sang scolding Huai and saying all kinds of ugly things, and they would deliberately exclude her, she was in the left ear and out of the right ear, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.
They say theirs, anyway, even if they say flowers, it doesn't matter to her, and it's better to have that mind to argue with them than to eat two more pastries.
But she, Cui Xin's cousin, is a veritable girl, although she won't say anything before listening to a few words that she doesn't like, and she abides by the duty of a girl in your house, but after returning to the room, she cried into tears, and I don't know where she got so many tears? !
Fortunately, she can distinguish the occasion, otherwise it would have been rumored that there is a crying cousin in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, the kind that can drown people with tears.
When I was young, I was only a little girl with strong self-esteem, but I didn't expect it to become more and more powerful when I grew up. This can't be done, crying twice in three days is not enough to blind your eyes.
Xu Jiayi secretly made up her mind that she must correct this shortcoming for Cui Xin.
"Cousin, you are so good......" Cui Xin rubbed in Xu Jiayi's arms, stretched out her hand to wrap her waist, and leaned on her body coquettishly, "Every time I feel uncomfortable, you are the first to come to see me." ”
"What, what do you mean by that it's not good if I don't come to see you?"
"That's not what I meant."
"You, you," Xu Jiayi nodded Cui Xin's eyebrows, "Don't cry again next time, if you cry again, I won't take you with me when I leave the house in the future." ”
Cui Xin didn't even hear what Xu Jiayi said, and nodded again and again. The stomach made an inopportune "grunt" sound, and Cui Qing was so ashamed that Cui Qing covered his stomach and pulled the corners ......of his mouth in embarrassment.
"Hungry?" Xu Jiayi chuckled, raised her voice and shouted "Cuiyun", and before she could say anything else, Cuiyun, who was guarding outside the house, replied, "Girl, but you want to bring the food in?" ”
"Send it in."
Seeing that Cui Xin's face was a little confused, Xu Jiayi asked Cuiyun to bring the food in and then went outside to guard. After accompanying Cui Xin to eat, after Cui Xin fell asleep, Xu Jiayi lightly cleaned up the food scraps and took out the door, and Cuiyun and Cui Xin's maids were waiting outside.
Seeing that there was a lot less food sent in, the little maid finally had a smile on her face, "Thank you, Miss Jiayi." ”
"Shhhhh......h ”
The little maid nodded again and again, and sent Xu Jiayi out of the courtyard before returning to the door to guard.
Here Xu Jiayi went to the main courtyard, and when she arrived at the main house, Wang Yunxiu was settling the accounts, and the abacus made a crisp sound. Seeing her come in, she just raised her eyes and asked Lan Xue to come in with refreshments, and after finishing the account book in her hand, she took a pen and recorded it at the end, and then she put down the pen and rubbed her wrist and sat opposite Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi spoke up at this time, "Finished?" ”
Qian Feng, the nephew of the second uncle's mother who Wang Yunxiu is going to marry, Qian Feng is the eldest son of the Qian family, and Wang Yunxiu will naturally take over after marrying. Even if you don't use it for the time being, you have to learn it first, at least when you really want to be a housekeeper, you won't let people see jokes.
The skills are not pressing, and the eldest aunt has not neglected these housekeeping matters, and has personally taught her cousin for more than half a year, so it is not strange to see her calculate the account books. The most important thing in settling accounts is to be careful, so Xu Jiayi didn't bother her when she came in, for fear that Wang Yunxiu would be distracted and miscalculated, and she would have to calculate it again when the time came.
"No, I'm just a little done." Wang Yunxiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the neatly stacked about three or five account books on the right side of the desk, and finally moved his fingers to the side, pointing to the stacks of account books piled up on the left side of the desk, and there was a bit of lovelessness in his voice, "Those are not counted yet." ”
