Chapter 7: New Life
Chunya was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "I, the slave, the slave is called Chunya." ”
"Look up."
Chunya slowly raised her head, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. Chunya stared at her in a daze, and for a while, a drop of sweat left down her sideburns and flowed down her neck to her collar. Chunya felt very itchy, but she didn't dare to reach out to touch it, so she had to purse her mouth and endure it.
Finally, the girl asked again, "How old is this year?" Literate? Have you ever learned needlework? "The voice is soft, just like a spring breeze.
"The slave is ten years old this year, and she only knows a few words, and she can embroider some simple patterns." has already replied once, and Chunya spoke much more smoothly this time, with a crisp voice and the liveliness of a little girl.
The girl laughed when she heard this, "It's good, I'll call Mother Qian to come and see it later, I like this kind of little girl." The second half of the sentence was addressed to another girl standing by the circle chair.
"What's the use of what you like, it has to be the girl's own pleasure."
"That's what I'm saying, the girl didn't say a word after watching it here for a long time."
The tightly wrapped girl finally spoke, "It's pretty good, it's winter and summer, and this spring is coming again, and if you get together, you can make up four seasons." ”
Several girls laughed in unison, and picked two or three more girls to ask some questions. Chunya clenched her hands stiffly, but these people didn't mean to ask Xiaohe at all. Chunya secretly glanced at Xiaohe, and saw that Xiaohe's face was as usual, and she was a little depressed.
At last a mother-in-law came and spoke a few words to the girls, but Chunya stood so far away that she couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Then it's better to just stay for a spring, bother Mama Yan to run this trip, Huanqing, you go and hand over to Mama Yan." The girl who was called the girl smiled.
Huanqing was the one who asked Chunya a question at the beginning, and when she heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that you want to keep two?" ”
Chunya listened silently, in fact, she was very nervous, and she only hoped that Xiaohe could be left behind with her.
"I heard that the daughter of Mother Liu's family in the mother's yard is not eleven years old, and her name is Qiuzhi, right? I'll talk to my mother in a while, isn't this just the right spring, summer, autumn and winter. The girl said slowly, "This is enough for this one." ”
Mama Yan was naturally willing, and followed Huanqing with a smiling face, while another girl came forward to lead Chunya to the house.
The charcoal pot was burning in the house, and it was warm, and the girl led Chunya to the side, stretched out her hand and patted the snow on her body for her, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, the girl is a very kind person." I heard that Mama Yan's rules are extremely strict, although we don't have such big rules, but you have also seen the Qian mother in front of you, she is not smiling on weekdays, if you are messing with others, don't ask her to be caught, if you are caught, you will have to deduct the monthly money. Oh, by the way, my name is Huanpei, I just heard you say that your name is Chunya? Whoever gave you such a name, the girl will probably change your name in a while. ”
Huan Pei spoke very quickly, and after a while, he said such a long list. Chunya reacted for a while, and then said: "My father gave it to me, and he said that it is easy to support by being cheap." ”
Huanpei laughed "poof", "I've heard of this saying, but I didn't expect that there would really be such a name for the child." ”
While she was talking, a group of people gathered around her girl and came back. Mother Qian asked Chunya to kowtow to the girl, and gave tea, even if she recognized the master.
"I just heard Huan Pei say that your name was given by your father? Although it is a piece of the mind of the elders, but in the end it doesn't sound very elegant, since you recognize me as the master, I will be the master to change your name. The second-class maid in my courtyard has two summer and winter cocoons, and it just so happens that you have a spring character in your name, how about calling it Spring Garden? The girl smiled and said a few words, looked at Chunya, oh no, it's Chunting now.
Chun Ting thought about what Yan Mama taught, and saluted in a proper manner, and said, "Miss Xie gave her name." ”
"Then ask Huanpei to take you to rest, let them live in one room in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the little girl will be more lively together."
Huanpei's temperament is much more jumpy than Huanqing, and his mouth has never stopped along the way. Chunting silently remembered that the girl's maiden name was Bai Huanru, with small characters, thirteen years old, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, and housekeepers could discuss politics. In short, a perfect woman.
"That's it, those two girls haven't come back yet, and when they come back, ask them to take you around and recognize the way." Huan Pei pointed to the front, "You didn't bring anything from Mama Yan, and after a while, Qiuzhi will come and lead the two of you to get something." There are two sets of unused bedding in that room, so you can take one and clean it up. ”
"I know Sister Huanpei, I'll clean it up by myself, you can get busy." Spring Courtyard Road.
"What's polite, you won't see you when you look down in the future. No, that's the room between me and Huanqing, not far away, if the two of us don't stay up at night, you can come and find it if there's anything. Huan Pei instructed two more words, "It's done, you can stay by yourself for a while, I'll go back to the girl first." ”
"Well, Sister Huanpei walks slowly." Chunting answered and entered the house.
The house is not small, more than enough for four girls. There are two beds with neat bedding, and I think it is Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon. Probably because no one was there, there was no charcoal fire in the house, and it was a little cold. Chun Ting stomped his feet, took out a bed cover from the cage next to the empty bed, made the bed and sat on the bed honestly, thinking about Mama Yan who had just left, and Xiaohe, who left with Mama Yan.
After a while, Chunting heard the sound of conversation outside, and a voice that sounded older said: "This time you enter the courtyard of the second girl, you don't have to mess around like before, if you make any more trouble, I will see which one can follow you behind your ass to clean up the mess for you." ”
Immediately afterwards, a clear girl's voice replied: "Got it, mother, I'm not a child anymore, why are you so nagging." ”
The woman scolded a few words in anger, only to hear the voice getting closer and closer, and then the mother and daughter went directly into the house and looked at each other in the house.
The first to react was the woman, who smiled at Chunting: "This girl is also the one who just came to this courtyard today, I remember that the original two girls in this house are named Xia Yun and Winter Cocoon, plus my autumn branches, I guess the girl's name starts with the word spring?"
"Exactly, my name is Chunting." Chunting also responded with a smile, but his eyes drifted to the girl named Qiuzhi. Qiu Zhi is not tall, wearing a new bean-green short jacket, a beige square collar with a fur edge, no jewelry on his head, only two red head ropes with bells, and the little girl's red puffy face, which makes the whole person very pleasing.
Since this little girl is Qiuzhi, then I think this is the mother Liu in the girl's mouth. Mother Liu is rich, and her shot is also generous, she took out a small silverfish from the purse on her waist and handed it to Chunting, "Since they all live in the same room, it is a great fate, this silverfish girl will keep it, and when the time comes, you can buy anything to eat and play." ”
President Chun is so big, how can he see so much silver, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't help it, I can't help it." What is this doing, Mother Liu, I can't take it! ”
Liu's mother insisted again and again, but Chunting was a person who didn't eat oil and salt, and she couldn't resist it, so Liu's mother had to take it back, "Since the girl refuses to accept it, then I'll make some snacks and ask Qiuzhi to share them with you." ”
Qiu Zhi rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Mother, you also sent me, you can go back, I can still lose it here." ”
"How do you talk about this kid, my mother is not worried about you. What else can you do but be a little bit more sloppy? Will you make the bed? Back to the back of the call you to lay the same as a kennel, I don't help you clean up, how do I go? ”
was reprimanded by his mother in front of Chun Ting, Qiu Zhi was a little overwhelmed, pouting and turning his head dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Chunting thought for a while and said, "If Mother Liu is relieved, let me help Miss Qiuzhi clean up, you see, I made my bed by myself." ”
Mother Liu smiled when she heard this, she was the most happy to see Qiu Zhi have a good relationship with these girls, "That's really annoying Spring Court girl, Qiu Zhi, don't thank you yet." ”
Qiu Zhi snorted lightly, not even looking at Chunting.
Mother Liu said a few more words and left, Qiu Zhi saw that Mother Liu immediately changed her appearance as soon as she left, and took Chunting's hand and sat down affectionately, not disgusted by the hard board of the bed, and spat at Chunting: "My mother is like that, you don't care about her, but the snacks made by my mother are really delicious, I'll bring you more tomorrow." Your name is Chunting? I bought it from outside, I haven't heard of any yard called this, your name is pretty good, spring, summer, autumn and winter, you occupy the first place! ”
"I was indeed bought, but I didn't call it this before, it was the name that the girl gave me just now." Spring Courtyard Road.
"That's really a coincidence, I didn't call Qiuzhi before, I used to be called Qiaozhi, and my mother changed my name just to ask me to go to the yard of the second girl on an errand. By the way, how old are you? Qiu Zhi spoke crisply and quickly, and when she heard it, she was the kind of cheerful and lively little girl.
Chunting was also a little more comfortable by Qiu Zhi's cheerfulness, "I'm ten years old, what about you?" ”
"Such a coincidence? I'm also ten years old, I'm the birthday of the first month, what month are you? ”
"It's October."
"Then I'm a lot older than you, you have to call me Sister Qiuzhi in the future!" Autumn Branches giggled and laughed with the Spring Garden. Chunting also refused to ask her to take advantage, "Then I call you sister, what's the benefit?" ”
Qiu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "You girl is a ghost, if you call me sister, I will protect you in the future!" ”
"That's a good dare, I'll follow Sister Qiuzhi to eat and drink spicy food in the future!"
"It's done!"
