Chapter 44: Family Visits
Bai Huanru's hand that originally picked out hair accessories paused, and then said softly: "It's not a big deal, the last time I went to the Qing'an Hou Mansion, Chun Ting accidentally attracted the little Hou Ye's unhappiness, I thought that this time I would simply leave her in the mansion." ”
Huanqing was clear, took the royal blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin in Bai Huanru's hand, and carefully inserted it into her hair for her. Bai Huanru's sideburns are thick, and when the hairpin is inserted into the hair, only the fluttering green butterfly on the hairpin head remains, and with Bai Huanru's steps, it looks like a butterfly has really landed on Bai Huanru's bun.
Bai Huanru has been cleaned up, Rao is Huanqing has a few hands and feet neatly, and Bai Huanru is constantly dressing up every day, so it will be half an hour younger. Su Hanran didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he could afford to wait for Bai Huanru to dress up for as long as he wanted.
Seeing Bai Huanru come out, Su Hanran showed his face and personally stepped forward to help Bai Huanru's hand, and the two walked out with a smile.
Yizhuyuan is much deserted without the two masters above, and most of the newly recruited little maids are wooden, and occasionally a few who are willing to chew the root of their tongues are also reprimanded by Huanqing.
Qiu Zhi was keeping vigil with Chunting yesterday, and the two of them slept late until the third watch in the main house. This will look at Qiu Zhi's spirit, and Chun Ting is a languishing look.
Huanqing thought that there would be nothing to do, so she took Chunting to rest. Chunting yawned and didn't shirk it, last night she stared at Qiu Zhi and lay next to Qiu Zhi all night, she was really sleepy, so she went back to her room and fell asleep.
Chunting slept very deeply this night, and fell into a dream with just one eye closed.
The scene in the dream was also at the end of the year, and Chun Ting looked down at the coarse cloth jacket on his body, a little stunned. She hasn't worn such rough clothes for many years, whether it's in the Anguo Mansion or the Su family, Bai Huanru is a generous master, and the four seasons clothes for the maids around her are not bad every year, and sometimes she will open her own small warehouse and take out a few good horses to reward Chunting with a few.
Looking up at the broken walls and tiles around her, she dared to be sure that she was in a dream, this was probably when she was still a spring girl, and she didn't know why she was so anxious in her dream.
The paper-cut paste on the window is Sun's craft, Chunya looked down at the embroidery shed in her hand, and the embroidery on it was the peace charm that Sun taught her to draw, the embroidery thread has faded a little, and the embroidered pattern is not very good-looking.
Chunya touched the kang head, no one burned the fire, and the touch under her hands was cold. Chunya jumped off the kang, ran to the hall, stood on tiptoe and lifted the rice jar, which was empty.
There was no one in the house, Chunya felt very strange, in the past, it was time for the eldest brother's Meng Ge'er to cry, why was there no movement at all?
Chunya pushed open the door and walked into the yard, and saw Yanni with melon seeds in the yard.
Yanni spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth, and when she saw Chunya come out, she jumped up from the stool and raised her chin high. As soon as the little girl's head moved, the sound of the bell came from Qing Lingling, and Chunya was noisy, so she raised her hand to cover her ears.
Yanni refused to let her go, jumped over and pulled her hand, and specially shook the bell on her head to "rattle", and wanted to come to Chunya's ear.
"This is the headband that my father brought back to me at the bazaar, and I am the only one in the whole village." Yanni said with a grin, her tone was hard to hide her pride and show-off.
Chunting finally remembered what year this was, if she remembered correctly, it should have been when she was six years old, when the snow covered the mountains, and the food of every household in the village was not enough, and the Lin family was the same.
The Zhao family took his son back to his parents' house for the New Year, and he was half angry with Lao Lintou. But the family really couldn't open the pot, so Lao Lintou gritted his teeth and led his two sons to the county seat in the snow, only to bring some food back.
Even so, Lao Lin Tou still didn't forget to bring a new head rope back to Yanni.
Chun Ting remembered clearly, the rope was carefully braided, and there was not only a delicately carved wooden bead hanging on it, but also two or three bells, as long as they were worn on their heads, the bell could be passed out from Qingling Lingling.
At that time, it was still Chunya's Spring Garden, because this head rope had been jealous of Yanni for a long time. The little girl doesn't know why she is also the daughter of her father, but Lao Lin Tou only likes Yanni, I don't know why only my sister has beautiful clothes and beautiful headbands every time, why she can only wear old clothes that her sister wears with raw edges at the cuffs. She doesn't know how to be flexible, she doesn't know how to be soft, she only knows how to cry one by one, so that Lao Lin Tou will only hate her even more, disgusted with why she is not a son, why she doesn't call him "daddy" every day like Yanni.
At this time, Chunting probably understood, people's hearts are biased, even if the palms and backs of the hands are meat, this meat is also thin.
Chunya looked at Yanni fixedly, and didn't answer her words. Yanni was annoyed, and reached out to grab Chunya's face, and the two scuffled together in an instant.
Yanni didn't know who she learned from the shrew, so she reached out and was about to pull Chunya's hair. How could Chunya let her succeed, she tore off her hair rope one step ahead of her and threw it far away.
This made Yanni angry, and she screamed at the top of her throat, stabbing Chunya's ears painfully.
Sitting up from the bed suddenly, Chunting gasped heavily, only to realize that the piercing cry came from outside the window.
Stretching out his hand to open the window, the wind with a chilling meaning blew in his face, and Chunting suddenly sobered up for the most part. Dragged the small jacket next to him and put it on his body, leaned out of the window to look, only to find that it was snowing outside.
The snow had not stopped, and only a thin layer had accumulated on the ground. There was no one in the courtyard, but it was very lively under the promenade outside.
Chunting followed the prestige, and saw Qiu Zhi and a few little maids standing under the corridor, and the scream was shouted by one of the little maids.
This is really strange, Qiu Zhi's popularity in the little maid has always been very good, and anyone who sees her is willing to call Sister Qiu Zhi. Qiu Zhi is also generous at hand, and often buys some dim sum playthings for the little maid below to share, and the one in Yizhu Courtyard doesn't say a word to her when it comes to Qiu Zhi.
Chunting was going to go out to have a look, but his hair would all fall asleep, so he could only re-wash it and then go to see what was happening outside.
Open the mahogany box on the table, the top layer has a few delicate silk flowers and a few bead hairpins, which are made by the autumn branch Zhang Luo went outside to find the silver building together, and the styles are all fashionable. Chun Ting casually picked up two and pinned them between his sideburns, straightened the clothes on his body and went out.
It was only a few steps away, and Chun Ting walked over quickly only to find that Qiu Zhi's face was purple.
"What's going on? Tell you to be so angry? Chunting looked at the beaded flower on Qiuzhi's sideburns and was about to shake it off, so he raised his hand to help her, and there was no meaning in his tone, as if she was talking to Qiuzhi about something inconsequential.
Qiu Zhi shook his hand and said angrily: "You ask this little hoof what she did?!" ”
The girl in front of her was thin and small, Chunting thought about it carefully, and remembered that this was Bai Qiu guarding the warehouse.
Chun Ting frowned and thought, could it be that Bai Qiu, this girl, stole the things in the warehouse.
Before Chunting could ask, he heard Qiu Zhi roaring: "Madame recruited you into the mansion to see that you are honest and honest, but who knew that you were so unclean!" ”
Chunting was taken aback, did she really guess correctly?
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Zhi handed something to Chun Ting's eyes, "You are stupid, you don't even know that you lost something!" ”
The object that was handed to Chun Ting's eyes was the silver bracelet that Chun Ting carried in his purse every day.
Chun Ting hurriedly took off the purse on his waist and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, the things inside had been dropped, and now lying quietly in the purse were a few stones.
Seeing that the human and physical evidence were there, Bai Qiu really didn't know how to quibble, so he could only stiffen his neck and say: "It's just a broken bracelet, and it's not worth a few dollars." Sister Chunting is the most kind person on weekdays, can she blame me for this little thing? ”
Chun Ting was dumbfounded, how could anyone be so shameless?
Putting the bracelet away, Chun Ting said: "As you said, I am a good person, and you shouldn't steal my things." If you dare to touch my house today, will you dare to touch my wife's house tomorrow and steal her things? ”
Bai Qiu didn't speak, but Chun Ting couldn't let her go, not to mention that this bracelet meant a lot to her, even if she stole something from the side, it was stealing, and it should be severely punished!
Chun Ting beckoned a few rough envoys to come over and lock Bai Qiu up, and waited until Bai Huanru came back to make a decision.
Qiu Zhi didn't interject anymore, and waited until everyone was dispersed before he came up and twisted Qiu Zhi's ears, "You are a kind-hearted person, if you want me to say that this will hit her board, I don't get used to these problems with them." ”
Chunting stopped talking, just waiting for Bai Huanru to come back to deal with this matter.
But I didn't see Bai Huanru come back after waiting for the left, it was already dark early in winter, and Bai Huanru and Su Hanran didn't come back until the sky was dark.
Bai Huanru's face was tired, and Su Hanran was also not very happy. Chun Ting took Bai Huanru's cloak and called the little maid to ask them to take it to the brazier and carefully dry the snow water on it, don't get it stained with Mars, this is a whole piece of white fox skin that Chen spent a lot of effort to find, and it is very delicate.
Dinner was served at the Anguo Mansion, and Bai Huanru said that she was tired when she returned to the house, changed into a comfortable middle coat and went to bed to rest.
Su Hanran went directly to the study, and said that he didn't need to use people to serve him, so he sent away all the people around him.
Chunting felt strange, but she was not a talkative person, so she suppressed all the doubts in her heart. Qiu Zhi couldn't hold back, so he immediately went to find Winter Cocoon and asked, "Sister Winter Cocoon, what's wrong with Madam today?" ”
