The girls in Mu Yuanju looked forward to it, and finally looked forward to Bai Huanhua's marriage.

On March 16, it is advisable to marry, to make an alliance, to pray for blessings, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the hearts of the people are happy. Qiu Zhi dragged Chunting to the front yard to see the excitement, but before he could get out of the yard, he was stopped by Huanqing.

"It's all thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, how can they still jump out like this. There are so many men in front of you, can you go? Huanqing frowned and reprimanded, "They all have a temperament, especially the autumn branch girl." ”

Qiu Zhi stuck out his tongue, and didn't say that he wanted to lead Chunting out, and he had to go back to the house. When passing by Dongyin's room, he accidentally glanced in, and saw that Dongyin was the only one in the room, so he asked through the half-open window, "Why are you in the house by yourself?" What about Xia Ai? ”

Dongyin was bowing her head and chatting, and when she heard Qiu Zhi's voice, she was confused for a moment, and then she saw Qiu Zhi standing at the window, "Xia Ai said that there were not enough people in the kitchen, and the girl asked her to help in the kitchen." ”

Chun Ting stumbled when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, such an obvious lie couldn't be seen through the winter cocoon, that is, there was a shortage of people in the kitchen, and Bai Huanru would not send the second-class maids in his courtyard to the kitchen.

"It's good this time, you're not the silliest one in this courtyard." Qiu Zhi sneered, and asked Dongyin in the second half of the sentence, "Xia Ai, that girl really didn't tell you where she went?" ”

Dongyin shuddered from Qiu Zhi's laughter, and her speech trembled, "She, she's not, she's not going to the kitchen, she's going to the kitchen." ”

Listening to Dongyin's words, Qiu Zhi rolled his eyes fiercely, took Chunting's hand and left, and muttered as he walked: "Eighty percent of that little hoof went to the front yard, I saw her a few days ago and didn't stop, this is good, see how she ends up when she causes trouble." ”

Chun Ting frowned, "Xia Yun went to the front yard?" So what to do, but to get her back? ”

"This will go to the front yard, Sister Huanqing must think that we are stubborn, and if we can't keep it, we will have to be reprimanded by Aden." Aki Zhi muttered, and she didn't know who she was talking to.

Seeing her say this, Chun Ting knew that it was because Fang Huanqing reprimanded her for starting to make trouble, so he nudged her, "How old are you, and you are still making trouble here." Sister Huanqing is also good for you, the girl is already busy today, if you go to the front yard, won't you make trouble for the girl? What's more, even if you don't treat Xia Ai on weekdays, you can say that it is also Mu Yuanju's person, and when something happens, you don't have to blame the girl, saying that the girl is not strictly governed. You just don't think about Xia Yun, you should think about the girl. ”

Qiu Zhi seemed to be moved by Chunting's words, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached out to twist her ears, "When did you become so sharp-toothed, don't learn from any little hoof." ”

Chun Ting smiled and dodged, and said: "I learned it, and I learned it from you, how can someone else have Miss Qiuzhi who can speak well." ”

The two laughed and went to Huanqing's house, and told her what had just happened, Huanqing was furious when she heard it, if it wasn't for Chunting to stop her, she was afraid that she would have killed Xia Ai in the front yard and dragged Xia Ai back.

Coming out of Huanqing's courtyard, Chunting still felt palpitations, and Qiuzhi also patted his chest exaggeratedly, "You said that Sister Huanqing is too temperamental these days, didn't she quarrel with Steward Lin?" Sister Huanqing used to have such a gentle temperament, how could she live like today. ”

"Don't you say a word." Chunting was a little helpless, "If you can control your mouth, you will go to the front yard and you will not be me." ”

When Bai Huanru left, she took away all the Huanpei winter cocoons and Xia Yun, leaving only one Huanqing in Muyuanju Town. Huanqing can't leave at the moment, the autumn branch is a jump, Dongyin is still a fool, and this job can only fall on the head of Chunting.

Chunting walked along the path to the front yard, trying to avoid crowded places. The front yard is now mostly full of male guests, and Chunting is not good to go out rashly to find someone, so he can only hide in the corner and observe secretly, and finally saw Xia Yun's figure, and was just about to go out, but was stopped by someone.

The person who came was a tall girl, and when she saw that the clothes on her body should be the maids of the Anguo Mansion, but when the spring court saw her, it should be the maids in the courtyards of several gentlemen. Seeing that although the girl was wearing the rules, there was a hairpin with red gold and red treasures inserted in her temples, and a clear jade bracelet was hung on her wrist.

"What yard are you from, and what are you doing here?"

Chun Ting came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Back to this sister, I am Mu Yuanju." This morning, our girl saw that there was not enough manpower in front of her, so she transferred a few from the courtyard to help. There are some jobs in this courtyard that are short of people, and I am asking them to go back. ”

A hint of disdain flashed on the maid's face, "But it's a person named Xia Ai?" ”

Chun Ting was surprised: "Exactly, how does this sister know?" ”

The maid stopped answering, told Chun Ting to wait in place for a while, and brought Xia Ai over.

Fang was far away, and Chun Ting didn't see Xia Ai's outfit clearly, so people stood in front of him and passed over carefully, only to find that something seemed inappropriate.

Now that the weather has warmed up, the girls can't wait to change into light spring shirts. Xia Ai wore an orange straight-sleeved gown, with an ivory white pleated skirt, and blooming camellia flowers between her temples.

The figure of the little girl of twelve or thirteen has not yet fully opened, but under the background of this outfit, she shows a youthful and ignorant beauty.

Chunting saluted again, "It's really troublesome sister today, if this girl causes any trouble to my sister, please don't blame my sister." I don't know which yard my sister is from? When the coming day comes, Xia Ai will be called to make amends. ”

"There is no need to make amends." The maid snorted coldly, "Spruce of Shangshanju, don't call the girl to run around in the future." ”

Chun Ting thanked him again, and led Xia Ai to Mu Yuanju.

Walking to a place where there was no one, Xia Ai shook off Chunting's hand, turned his head and walked on his own, not even wanting to look at Chunting.

Chun Ting is not the person who sticks to the cold ass with a hot face, so he had a cold face at that time, "Have you reported this matter to the girl today?" ”

Before Xia Ai could answer, Chun Ting continued: "I don't want to come." I didn't want to say anything more, you and I are both second-class maids, and no one can say that they are more noble than the other. I'm just a year older than you, come to this yard earlier, today I will say more, our girl is the most kind person, on weekdays, your little tricks are just to turn a blind eye and just don't see it. But you should also make your identity clear, who are you going to show when you are dressed like this today? Don't you know that the front yard is full of men? Since the girl helped her wife to be careful in charge of the house, today is the day of the big girl's big day, what do you want to do? ”

"As long as you are an Ansheng, can the girl still treat you badly in the future? What's in it for you to assert yourself like this? It's a lot of thinking about being young, so think about it for yourself. ”

Chun Ting's words directly made Xia Ai's eyes red, covered his face and ran all the way back to his house, no longer willing to go out.

Qiu Zhi felt strange when he saw it, and dragged Chunting aside and asked, "What are you talking to her about, making her cry like this?" ”

Chun Ting's face was not very good, "I'm just telling her to see her identity clearly." ”

In this way, Qiu Zhi is even more curious, Chunting treats people kindly on weekdays, she has been with Chunting for a few years, and she hasn't seen who she really blushes with, and today she has such a big temper because of Xia Ai, this girl?

"This is strange, why are you so popular today with Sister Huanqing's self-cultivation?" Qiu Zhi wanted to laugh a few words, but was frightened by a look from Chunting.

In the evening, Bai Huanru came back, and Chun Ting took the initiative to find Bai Huanru without waiting for Qiu Zhi to say anything, and told him about today's events.

After hearing this, Bai Huanru pondered for a moment, "You did the right thing today, Xia Ai is indeed a little impetuous, and he should be disciplined." ”

The winter cocoon on the side took two steps forward when she heard this, "The girl has been busy for a day today, this matter is not small, but it is not big, why don't you wait until tomorrow to deal with it." The girl should eat first, you didn't eat anything at night, just Xia Yun went to the kitchen and asked them to make a bowl of noodles, and the girl ate it while it was hot. After that, he glanced at Chunting.

Bai Huanru stroked her forehead, "You guys make those small actions in the back, today's matter is finished today, this matter can't be delayed, and you will call Xia Ai in a while." ”

Chunting was a little at a loss, this was her thoughtlessness, if she really disturbed the girl's rest, it would really be her sin.

As if she knew what Chunting was thinking, Bai Huanru asked Xia Yun to bring the noodles up, and after using some slightly, she asked Xia Ai to come into the house.

Xia Ai stood outside the house for a long time, and when she came in, she was nervous, and before anyone else could speak, she knelt down with a "poof".

"Ask the girl Mingjian, Mrs. Zhou from the front yard came to find the slave maid, saying that there was not enough manpower and wanted to find the slave maid to help. The slave maid wanted to share the girl's worries, so she followed the mother-in-law of the week. Who knew that Sister Chunting didn't ask when she arrived at the front yard, and asked the slave and maid to come back as if she were arresting a prisoner, and said that the slave and maid were inappropriate and couldn't recognize their identities. The little girl knelt on the ground and cried, a picture of pear blossoms with rain and blood spurting people.

The words were full of loopholes, and Bai Huanru couldn't help but sigh when she heard it, "Did she say the wrong thing about you?" That week, the mother-in-law came to put Huanqing, the lady in charge, and didn't look for it, but came to find you a second-class maid? ”

Xia Ai was speechless for a while, "Slave, what the slave said is the truth!" ”

Bai Huanru looked at Xia Ai, as if it was late today, the house was lit with a lamp, and the soft candle flame reflected on the little girl's face to outline a soft silhouette. In this way, Xia Ai is the best color of the maids under her hands, and now she is only twelve years old, and she has already shown amazing traces.

remembered what Qian's mother said at that time, saying that Xia Ai's girl was not as calm as Winter Cocoon, not as talented as Xia Yun, not as smart as Qiu Zhi and not as loyal as Chunting, Bai Huanru was not very trustworthy at that time, but now it seems that it is really Qian's mother who sees people accurately.

"If you don't have your heart in my Mu Yuanju, I won't force you to stay, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people in the fourth brother's courtyard, so you can go there if you catch up." Bai Huanru is secluded.
