The two little girls chattered in the house until noon, Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon also came back, they were all girls of the same age, and they were noisy at the age, and it was really lively to get together.

Winter Cocoon is the eldest of the four, this year is already twelve, and he speaks more calmly than the other three, and after chatting for a while, he said: "It's time to go to the kitchen to get lunch, I just told Sister Huanqing, let's go four today." Chunting is not a child of the family, and he is not very familiar with it in this mansion, so he should lead you to recognize the way. ”

The four girls went to the kitchen side by side, talking along the way, which was quite interesting.

"I heard Mama Qian say that when you have lunch, I will ask you to get your due, and in two or three days, I will not arrange work for you first, and you must take care of your rules." Winter Cocoon said as she picked two plum blossoms from the plum tree on the side of the path, and put them on the spring garden and autumn hairpins, "The girl said that the little girl should dress up and be happy, and she should not look old-fashioned when she wears those plain ones." The woman was already trapped in this deep mansion compound, and if she couldn't dress herself up beautifully, it wouldn't be really interesting. ”

Chun Ting listened carefully, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the girl in her family was indeed not quite the same as the woman next to her.

"No, there's the kitchen ahead, can you remember this way? If you don't remember the Spring Garden, come with me again in the evening. Qiu Zhi is running on the small Manchu Mansion, and if you want to go anywhere in the future, you can pull her. ”

Winter Cocoon took the lead and led the three girls into the kitchen, and as soon as they entered, there was a rush of fireworks, and it was a meal, and the whole kitchen was busy. Seeing a few winter cocoons coming in, a mother-in-law stopped what she was doing and asked, "Winter Cocoon girl is here to get the second girl's lunch?" It's all ready, just waiting for the girl to come. ”

"It's hard to become a mother." Winter Cocoon took a food box and talked to Cheng's mother for a few words. Cheng's mother glanced at Chunting a few times, and asked Winter Cocoon with a smile: "This girl's eyes are tight, but she is new to the second girl's courtyard?" ”

Winter Cocoon glanced at Chunting and didn't speak. Chunting didn't know why, Qiu Zhi was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet, secretly stabbed Chunting, and stuffed a purse into Chunting's hand while others didn't see it, and then feigned anger: "Mother Cheng only saw the good-looking girl, why didn't she ask me?" ”

Cheng's mother was amused by her, "I've never seen such a shameless little girl, if you ask which one in the kitchen doesn't know your Qiuzhi girl, who has been eating and drinking with me since she was a child, I can't wait to get you out!" ”

Only then did Chunting react, and blessed Cheng's mother, and said, "Maid Chunting, I just arrived in the courtyard of the second girl today." If Cheng's mother doesn't mind, she will accept Chunting's heart. As he spoke, he handed over the purse in his hand.

"Miss Chunting is so polite, how embarrassing is this." Although Cheng's mother refused to push her mouth, the movements in her hands were fast when she put away her purse, and the folds on her face were folded together with a smile.

Winter Cocoon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this lunch has been obtained, let's go back quickly, lest the dinner will be cold when we go back, and the girl will blame it, if something happens to the girl's body, we maids can't afford it." ”

"The winter cocoon girl can laugh, the second girl is the master who is kind, how can she blame the girl for this little thing." Cheng's mother sent Chunxiao, Qiudong and the four outside the door with a smile, Xia Yun stretched out her hand to stop it, and said, "Cheng's mother doesn't need to send it, there are many things in the kitchen, Cheng's mother should be busy." ”

Xia Yun didn't talk much along the way, as soon as she opened her mouth, the words she said were like the snow hanging on the branches, cold. Chun Ting couldn't help but glance at Xia Yun a few more times, Xia Yun was not the oldest, but her body was the tallest of the four of them, the little girl's waist was straight, and she didn't even give Cheng's mother a straight eye.

Cheng's mother's face froze, and when Winter Cocoon saw that the situation was not right, she immediately came out to play a round. "What Xia Yun said is, who doesn't know that Cheng's mother is a busy person in this kitchen, how can we delay Cheng's mother's time. It's not that I don't know the way, let's go back as a mother. ”

With the winter cocoon under the steps, Cheng's mother felt better, snorted coldly and turned away.

On the way back, it was not as easy as when it came, and the winter cocoon was afraid that the food would be cold, so he led the spring court to walk very fast. When they returned to Bai Huanru's yard, Winter Cocoon asked the three of them to wait in the house, and went to Bai Huanru's house first with the food box.

Chun Ting tugged at Qiu Zhi and asked, "How much silver is in your purse?" I don't have any money in my hand now, so I'll pay you back when the time comes. ”

Qiu Zhi rolled her eyes, "What are you polite to me, blame me for not reminding you, that Cheng's mother is the most greedy for money." My mother cleaned up the kitchen before she came. You didn't grow up in this house, so you don't know that. ”

Xia Yun glanced at the two small ones and coughed lightly, "Don't talk about others behind your back, just know what you know." ”

Chunting and Qiuzhi glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and sat down on the side in a proper manner.

"In the past two days, you have to learn the rules with Mother Qian, although Mother Qian is a little stricter, but she is very good." Xia Yun talked a little more in front of the girls and sisters, and said a few more words to them.

After a while, the winter cocoon came back, still carrying a food box in his hand, and when he entered the house, he saw that several people in the spring court were sitting there, speechless for a while, "What are you sitting for?" It's not cold, is it? I didn't even light a brazier, what are you doing here? ”

Several girls looked at each other and smiled, and Chunting took the initiative to light the brazier and burned it vigorously. Winter Cocoon opened the food box, took out a few small dishes from it, and said to the others: "The girl said that I will eat like this at noon, and then call the kitchen to add a few dishes in the evening, and let Sister Huanpei lead us to be lively." ”

There was a small round table in the room, and the four girls had a warm lunch. In the afternoon, Dong Cocoon and Xia Yun had something to do, and Qiu Zhi led Chun Ting to find Mother Qian.

Qian's mother lived next door to Bai Huanru, Qiu Zhi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and waited for a long time but did not see any movement in the house. Qiu Zhi took a step back, a little puzzled, "I heard my mother say that this mother is a trustworthy and diligent person, and it was chosen by Mrs. Qian to be a nurse for the girl, since she called us here, we shouldn't be absent." Could it be that my mother is still resting? ”

"It's all here, just wait." Chunting appeased Qiu Zhi a few words, and the two girls stood in the corridor, waiting for Mama Qian.

After standing for a while, it was snowing outside, and Qiu Zhi was a little excited to lie on the railing, "Chunting, look, it's snowing!" It's the first snow of the year! ”

The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside, but fortunately the two girls were standing in the corridor, otherwise it would have been snowing in a short time. But that's it, after standing outside for a long time on such a cold day, Chunting felt that his feet were going to freeze.

Qiu Zhi rubbed his hands and let out a white breath, "I've been waiting for almost half an hour, where did Mother Qian go?" When will we go, or shall we go back first? ”

"Isn't that okay?" Chun Ting held Qiu Zhi's hand, "My hands are warm, I'll help you warm up." Let's wait a little longer, and then we will see the snow, and you can see how good the flowers are. ”

Chunting was talking about the red plums in the courtyard, and Qiuzhi looked at the courtyard when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year." ”

Chun Ting smiled, "I don't understand what you said, I was a wild girl in the countryside in front of me, and I couldn't read a few words." ”

Qiu Zhi didn't answer Chunting's words again, and said to himself: "I grew up in this mansion, and I have been to some places in the outer courtyard secretly, but I have never been to our girl's Mu Yuanju, my mother said that Mu Yuanju is managed like an iron bucket, saying that she wants me to come here if she says that no matter how good the master is, it is not as good as the second girl, our girl is a serious girl, not just anyone can compare." ”

"Talking about the master behind your back, you are really capable."

Chunting and Qiuzhi were taken aback by this sudden sentence, and when they turned around, they saw Mother Qian standing behind them, and the two girls hurriedly saluted, standing with their necks curled like two little quails.

Mother Qian first asked Chunting: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Chun Ting thought about it, remembered what Mama Yan had said, and replied in a proper manner: "If you go back to your mother, this is the Anguo Mansion." ”

Mother Qian nodded, and looked at Qiu Zhi again, "You grew up in the mansion since you were a child, and you must know more than Chunting." In that case, you have smoothed out all the masters in this house for her, and when we are done, we will go into the house. ”

Qiu Zhi was stunned, just now she said that she was talking about the master behind her back, how could she say it again? What's more, if you say it in this courtyard, you are not afraid of others listening to it?

Mother Qian seemed to see what Qiu Zhi was thinking, "You just have to say it, if something happens, I'll take care of it for you." ”

Qiu Zhi glanced at Qian's mother a few more times before clearing his throat and said: "Our master is today's An Guogong, and our wife grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and our wife has a son and a daughter, who are our eldest young master and second girl. There are also two aunts in the house, Aunt Xiang has no children under her knees, and the other Aunt Tong gave birth to a second young master, a third young master, a fourth young master, and a big girl. ”

Qiu Zhi spoke clearly and quickly, and after speaking, he secretly glanced at Qian's mother, "Qian's mother, I'm done." ”

"Do you hear me?" Qian's mother asked Chunting.

Chun Ting nodded, "The slave has a clear memory. ”

Mother Qian seemed to be satisfied, and beckoned to the two girls, "Come in." ”

Chun Ting followed Qian's mother into the house, and there were two charcoal pots burned in the house, and there was only a small round table and a few small stools. Mother Qian took out two bowls of ginger soup like a trick, and handed each of the two girls a bowl, "Drink it while it's hot, go and get rid of the cold." ”

Qiu Zhi was spicy when he licked it, and he was so frightened by Mama Qian's eyes that he stuffed the whole bowl in one bite. Chun Ting forcibly controlled his facial expression and drank the ginger soup in the bowl.

However, although this ginger soup is spicy, the whole person warms up after drinking it. Sister Xia Yun is really good, Mother Qian is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person.
