Chapter 13: Misleading
Aunt Tong is the kind of delicate and weak beauty, which makes people feel pity when they see it, and Chunting can't help but sigh: "Aunt Tong is so good-looking, no wonder Grandpa Guo is so pitiful and pampered." ”
"Don't learn from these foxes." Qiu Zhi pursed his lips, "My mother said, like our lady and girl, is what we should learn, don't learn from those who only know how to climb the bed, I'd rather be a lady for a poor family than a concubine for a rich family." ”
"I know." Chunting nodded, "I don't learn from them." ”
Qiu Zhi wanted to laugh, but because of the people in the yard, he had to endure it and shrugged his shoulders.
The two of them lay on the wall for a long time, and finally saw the people in the courtyard move. Aunt Tong took off her cloak and handed it to a mother-in-law behind her, wearing only a single coat, sitting alone in the cold wind.
Chun Ting was dumbfounded, "What is this going to do?" Isn't she cold? ”
Qiu Zhi also rubbed his arms, "Who knows, let's wait and see." ”
I waited for almost an hour.
Aunt Tong coughed lightly twice, her palm-sized face was pale in the cold wind, and she shook it a few times when she got up, and the hearts of Chunting and Qiuzhi who were watching it were pinched.
When Aunt Tong entered the house, the two little girls lay on their stomachs for a while and didn't see any movement in the courtyard, and their little heads were full of big doubts.
"That's it?" Chunting asked.
"It should be over." Akieda replied.
Chunting endured it for a long time before he didn't kick the autumn branch off the stone. Who knew that Qiu Zhi calmly patted the snow on his sleeve, "Let's go, I can't hear anything here." ”
Poor Chun Ting didn't understand anything for a long time, but his brain was about to be frozen, so he could only numbly follow Qiu Zhi to jump off the stone, and never knew that way to go around to the kitchen.
The kitchen is the time to start, and the kitchen that should be lively on weekdays looks a little depressed today. Qiu Zhi is familiar with finding Cheng's mother, people arrive before they open their mouths, and the lotus leaf style pattern is embroidered on the purse with a willow blue bottom, and it is not Qiu Zhi's craftsmanship at a glance.
Cheng's mother originally accepted the purse and her face was a little pale, but she was beaten back to the prototype by Qiu Zhi's words.
"I really want to congratulate my mother, Sister Suyi was accepted by the second young master, this is very decent. When I arrived at Haoranju, she was a first-class maid, and Sister Suyi was really blessed. ”
Mother Cheng snorted coldly, "Miss Qiuzhi's mouth is really as sharp as ever, and I don't know if you can afford this blessing to Miss Qiuzhi." ”
Qiu Zhi still has that hippie smiling face, "Looking at what Mother Cheng said, I naturally can't stand this blessing, besides, this blessing hasn't fallen on my head." ”
"Miss Qiuzhi has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and the old woman can't say anything about you." Cheng's mother shook her head and left a greasy back for the two girls.
Xu is it was too warm in this room, Chun Ting's frozen brain finally eased up, and took two steps forward to stop Cheng's mother, "Cheng's mother is doing this, who doesn't know that our Qiu Zhi is the most outspoken, if you say something wrong, it's better for your mother not to take it to heart." ”
Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that she had accepted other people's things just now, Cheng's mother turned around awkwardly and looked at Qiuzhi with her nostrils, "What is the reason why the girl Qiuzhi is here?" ”
"Didn't I say it before, I came to say hello to Cheng's mother." Qiu Zhi was still smiling, but the words that came out of her mouth made Cheng's mother angry, and she couldn't wait to splash boiling water on her face.
Chunting frowned and dragged Qiu Zhi, "How can you speak like this, quickly make amends to Cheng's mother." ”
Qiu Zhi raised her eyebrows, and she was a little shrew, "Am I still wrong, the second young master is a person like the jade tree in the wind, that's not the blessing of Sister Suyi?" Oh, isn't it that Cheng's mother can't look down on the second young master, right? ”
The two sang and harmonized, and said that Cheng's mother's face was like the bottom of the pot. How dare she say that Bai Chiqing is not, even if the one didn't crawl out of the lady's belly, it was a master, and what could she talk about behind her back as a mother-in-law who dealt with cooking utensils in the kitchen all day long.
"If the two girls have nothing else to do, the old woman will not keep the two." Cheng's mother's smile froze on her face, and if you look closely, you can see that the loose skin and flesh on her face are twitching.
Qiu Zhi gave Chunting a look, and Chunting understood, and quietly blocked Cheng's mother's way from behind. Qiu Zhi grabbed Cheng's mother's arm and pulled out a very bright smile, "Cheng's mother~ Don't we also care about you?" In the past, I knew in the lady's courtyard that Sister Suyi was a safe, virtuous person, even if the lady mentioned it, she had to praise a few words. I guess, Su Yi must be bewitching, otherwise, how could Sister Su Yi do such a thing. ”
Cheng's mother listened thoughtfully, and as soon as Qiu Zhi saw that there was a play, she hit the railway while it was hot: "You think, the second young master is in the outer courtyard on weekdays, if someone doesn't match him, where will Sister Suyi go to see the second young master?" ”
"It makes sense, you go on." Cheng's mother reversed the appearance of trying to kick Qiu Zhi out just now, and began to listen to her carefully.
"Right, who does the second young master go with on weekdays? That must be a big girl, right? So, if Sister Suyi can get in touch with the second young master, she must not be in the courtyard of Mrs. Xiang, the rules in Tangxiang Courtyard are so strict, that is, on the side. In this inner courtyard, it is the Yaoshan residence of the eldest girl Zhishang and Aunt Tong, Mother Cheng, think about it carefully, Sister Suyi is close to these two courtyards? ”
Cheng's mother pondered for a while and patted her head, "I remember, a while ago, Suyi and Zhi Shangju's hooves were close!" ”
Qiu Zhi smiled but did not speak, took a few steps back and saw that Cheng's mother was as anxious as the ants on the hot pot, and while the kitchen was still in chaos, she led Chunting back to Mu Yuanju quickly.
Winter Cocoon left them food, Qiu Zhi casually fooled two mouthfuls, and hurried out, and asked Chunting if there was any extra embroidered purse before leaving.
"Where do I have more of this, you can't think this thing is a radish in the kitchen, you don't do it yourself, even if you don't do it yourself, you still have to come to loot us, the one you gave to Cheng's mother was taken from Sister Winter Cocoon?"
"How do you know?" Akieda was surprised.
"At first glance, the embroiderer was made by Sister Winter Cocoon, anyway, it didn't come from you." Chun Ting cleaned up the table, "If you want, I'll make you a few in the next few days." ”
"Then I'm going to bother the Spring Court girl!" Before Qiu Zhi could finish speaking, he had already run away, and his voice came from afar.
In the late dawn of winter, Tangxiangyuan has long been exempted from Bai Huanru's morning and dusk, but Bai Huanru goes to Tangxiangyuan as long as he has time. But Bai Huanru's face was not very good when she came back this day, not only Bai Huanru, but Huanpei Huanqing's face was also extremely bad.
Although Chunting was curious, he couldn't bear to ask questions, and it wasn't until he returned to his room that he dragged Qiu Zhi over and asked carefully.
Qiu Zhi poured a cup of cold tea, dragged a pestle and sat down, "Let me tell you, I have never seen such a shameless person!" ”
"What the hell is going on? I saw that Sister Huanqing was angry like that. Chunting changed the pot of hot tea to Qiuzhi, "You breathe a sigh, don't be in such a hurry." ”
"Do you remember when I led you to see Aunt Tong undressing in the yard? She just bullied our lady for being sexual, obviously she froze out of the cold in the yard, she wanted to say that her wife deducted her share, and the amount of charcoal fire for Yaoshan Ju was not enough. Mrs. has been in charge of the family for so many years, when has she ever treated her badly? She doesn't touch her conscience and think about it! Qiu Zhi was so angry that he only slapped the table, "The old man still believes in her!" ”
Duchess Anguo Chen was born in Yong'an Hou Mansion, she is really a beautiful lady, and she is gentle and gentle when she speaks, and she has been married to Anguo Mansion for more than 20 years, and has taken care of Anguo Mansion up and down in an orderly manner. An Guogong Baiyi is also respectful to the Chen family, but the Chen family is a woman whose rules are engraved in her bones, and she can't control Aunt Tong's small means, she can control this huge family, but she can't control Bai Yi's heart.
"Aunt Tong is also making such a fuss in the past?" Chunting was puzzled.
"Naturally not, such a superficial method is almost the same as using it once or twice, and the master is not stupid. I think she jumped off the wall in a hurry this time, and even used such a method. ”
"What do you say?"
"The second young master was confined by the master because of this matter, and he can only stay in the study every day to read books, and the ban will not be lifted until the spring boudoir passes next year." Qiu Zhi's tone wore a hint of schadenfreude, "Which is like the eldest young master, not only is he extremely upright, but he is also good at learning." ”
"What you're saying is, don't forget that Mother Qian told you to go to her later." Chunting no longer dwelled on this topic, and casually said a few words.
Qiu Zhi was excited, "When did Mother Qian say that?" How come I don't remember? ”
"It's the morning when you're gone." Chunting smiled, "Maybe you walked too fast, didn't hear it." ”
Qiu Zhi, who grew up in the Anguo Mansion, is even wilder than Chunting, but Qiu Zhi is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is only afraid of Qian's mother. Mother Qian's eyes can scare Qiu Zhi's legs softly, let alone find her alone.
"Did she say something about me?" Qiu Zhi looked at Chunting pitifully, hoping to get some useful news from the mouth of this good doll in the eyes of Mother Qian.
Chun Ting's smile was a little brighter than just now, "Aren't you used to inquiring about news?" What you don't know, I don't know. ”
Ignoring Qiu Zhi's despair, Chun Ting set up a match, "Sister Huanqing asked me to go to Tangxiang Courtyard for her, don't forget to go to fetch the girl's lunch at noon." ”
"Nature is something you can't forget."
The two went out together, each doing their own things, and for a while Mu Yuanju seemed a little lonely.
