Chapter 82: Hosta
The man didn't deliberately lower his voice, the place where Chunting was standing was remote, and this was just enough for Chunting to hear, and he couldn't alarm the master in front of him.
Chun Ting glanced back, the man who spoke was wearing a concubine-colored long jacket, a fur collar on the outside, a delicate figure, a good face, combed the woman's bun, but the face was still young, and he was standing far away from several masters, and he couldn't tell which room it was.
Seeing her dress, the materials of her clothes, and the jewelry on her head, how could she be married to a face-saving housekeeper, then it should be the big girl next to the lady who went out to match someone, why did she have to go to this remote place to talk about a little girl, and she was not afraid of falling into her identity.
Chunting didn't want to be troubled, so he just entered the side compartment as if he hadn't heard it. It is estimated that the Liang family was admitted to Bai Huanru to bring Brother Yan to come, and there were four charcoal basins in the side room, and the room was also warm. Zhu put Brother Yan in the cradle, humming a Jiangnan tune that Chunting couldn't understand, and the atmosphere was peaceful, which inexplicably reminded Chunting of her second sister-in-law, Qin.
Although the Qin family was born in the north, her temperament is like a woman in the south of the Yangtze River, she speaks and does things gently and gently. Chunting likes the Qin family more than the mean Zhao family, the Qin family will give her a good-looking head rope that even Yanni doesn't have, will patiently teach her to learn words, and will secretly leave her delicious food, for Chunting, the Qin family is not like a sister-in-law, but more like her second mother-in-law.
It's just never to be seen again.
"Spring Court girl."
Chun Ting raised his head and saw that Zhu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhu has something to say, we have been together for so long, and we don't care so much." ”
Zhu changed his arrogant look in the past, looked around cautiously, and leaned over to Chun Ting's side and whispered: "I know the person who spoke just now, she is Aunt Xiang in the seventh master's room. ”
Is it a person from the fifth room, or an aunt? Chunting was a little surprised, but if you think about it carefully, the aunt is not a serious master, naturally she can't sit with a few ladies, but the favored aunt always has no shortage of money in hand, and it is naturally not uncommon to dress better than the big girl, but there is one thing that makes Chunting very puzzled.
"She doesn't stay in her yard honestly, what is she doing here to find my bad luck?" Chunting asked.
Zhu shook his head, "I don't know about this. You know, I don't even go out of the house on weekdays, but I recognize her or I will go home to see my brother who met her by chance that day, and she was out to enjoy the flowers on a cold day, and when she saw me, she had to drag me to talk. I only had half a day off, so I had time to talk to her, so I just left after a few perfunctory words. ”
It's weird...... Chun Tingzhi watched Brother Yan sleep by the cradle, she had never seen this Aunt Xiang before, why did she provoke so much hostility?
It was lively outside, and Chun Ting and Zhu chatted, but after a while, they saw Qiu Zhi sneaking in.
"What are you doing here, not by Madame's side?" Chun Ting frowned and asked, "Go back to the front, how many people are in front of you today, Madame can't handle it, you still have to mess around!" ”
Qiu Zhi smacked his tongue, "It's as exaggerated as you say." "Leave the things in your hand," you said that the little one who gave the girl some snacks would be reprimanded, and the little one would leave, not in the way of the girl's eyes. ”
"You just play tricks with me, and you are justified in saying a few words about you." Chunting scolded with a smile, "Since you have self-knowledge, don't be an eyesore here, go quickly!" ”
Qiu Zhi grimaced, leaned out to take a look, and saw that no one outside was paying attention to her, so she ran back to Bai Huanru's side with brisk steps.
"The relationship between the two of you is so good, others can't easily compare." Zhu Shi sighed when he saw the scene just now.
Chun Ting opened the food box and saw that it was really a few pieces of snacks, thinking that Qiu Zhi thought that she hadn't eaten much in the morning and ran to cushion her stomach. Chun Ting took a piece and handed it to Zhu, "There is no comparison." Sister Zhu also eats some, and the outside doesn't stop today, just the two of us are waiting here, and it is inevitable that we will be a little more tired than usual. ”
The Zhu family is willing to have a good relationship with the Spring Court, and the Spring Court pushes the boat along the river, and they all meet every day, and it is better to be good than to be evil.
"I don't understand something, I want to ask the girl." Zhu said suddenly.
Chun Ting poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu, "You ask, why don't you ask for advice." ”
"I'm not a man of much ability, but fortunately I am somewhat self-aware. These days, I don't get along well with these girls in the East Chamber, He's clever words, Ma's calm, why did Mrs. decide to keep me? ”
This Chunting can probably guess one or two, so he analyzed it for the Zhu family: "When Madame is looking for a nurse for the little young master, she must choose a clean family background, you and the other two sisters are good, it's just a matter of suitability." The little master is the eldest son of the lady, and he will inherit the family business in the future, and the lady will definitely be in charge of the family in the future, and the time with the little master will be less, but the nurse will follow the little master all the time. To put it irreverently, this nurse's influence on the little young master is only greater than that of Mrs. ”
Chun Ting paused, and then said: "The He family is indeed good at speaking, but she thinks a lot, the little young master needs to be a decent gentleman, and following the He family, it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with a bit of philistine." Ma is also honest, but he is too cowardly, wouldn't it be bad if the little young master followed her and became timid? Madame thinks about it, or you are the most suitable. ”
Hearing Chunting say this, Zhu was also relieved, "It's still a girl who has a good opinion, if I think about it myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out if I want to break my head." ”
"Where is it like what my sister said, I was stupid, but I haven't grown much after following my wife for so many years, then I don't have to come back, just ask the mountain bandit to be hacked to death."
Unconsciously, Chunting has also changed from an ignorant girl to a girl who can talk and laugh with others.
Brother Yan woke up once, and Zhu took him to the front once, and then returned to this sideline. When it was almost dark outside, Qiu Zhi came again and asked Chun Ting and Zhu to go back to the courtyard first, and the small kitchen made food.
No one can make it difficult for a one- or three-month-old doll to keep the New Year's Eve, which will make it normal for Chunting and them to go back with Brother Yan'er. Qiu Zhi walked ahead and sent Chunting and them back to the east chamber before turning back.
Brother Yan was not far away, and the little maids in the yard all asked Bai Huanru to go home for the New Year, and there were only five or six people left who were not born in the family, and they were a little lonely for a while. Chun Ting went to the small kitchen and came back to eat with the Zhu family, thinking that there was a lack of people to serve here, and Bai Huanru would not come back early today, so Chun Ting simply planned to live in the East Chamber.
Chunting said to the Zhu family, and planned to go to his house to get some things, but as soon as he went out, he called a little maid to stop him.
The little girl has a round face, and she is also festive because of the New Year, like a doll coming out of a New Year's painting. Chun Ting felt that this little maid was a little familiar, and for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she asked, "Which yard are you from?" What are you looking for me? ”
said this on his lips, but in his heart he thought that the mother-in-law guarding the door would not be able to die? People who are not in their own yard still put them in, and when the lady comes back, they should talk about it properly.
The little maid smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Girl, I am the one who worked in the small kitchen in our yard, and I got sick a few days ago and went home to recuperate for a while, and it is normal that you don't recognize me." ”
Chunting reluctantly accepted this statement, anyway, if it was really like what she said, she would know the truth when she inquired.
The little maid took out a brocade box from her sleeve, "This is what a son asked me to give to the girl." ”
The brocade box looked more familiar, and Chunting suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Qiu Zhi went to pick up the jewelry they played together for the New Year, and it was contained in such a box, but the box in front of him looked a little better than the one with better workmanship, and the things inside would not be too bad.
Chun Ting opened the box, it was filled with a hosta, the carving was fine, I was afraid that it would be superior to put it in Bai Huanru's makeup, such a hairpin, just ask a little maid to hand it over to her casually, Chun Ting snorted coldly, she probably knew who the son in the mouth of this little maid was.
The little maid saw that Chunting had opened the box, and then said, "That boy also asked me to bring a message to the girl......
"Happy Chinese New Year, good health."
Who knew that Chunting "snapped" and closed the brocade box, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, catch the thief!" ”
Before the little maid could react, the two mothers-in-law not far away heard Chunting's shout and ran over quickly, and one of them restrained the little maid and pressed it in front of Chunting.
Chun Ting shook the brocade box in his hand and said loudly: "I just saw this person sneaky, and he still has this thing in his hand." Here is a hosta, I think it is the jewels of the lady. This man must have taken advantage of the fact that there were few people in the courtyard tonight, and there was a lack of guards in the lady's house, so he took the opportunity to steal out. Tie her up first, and wait until Madame comes back to make a decision. ”
What is Chunting's reputation in the courtyard, the two mothers-in-law should be silent, and pressed the little maid to the next place. The little maid was about to quibble, but Chunting glanced over, and one of the mothers-in-law immediately understood, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the little maid's mouth.
Seeing that the people were far away, Chunting opened the brocade box again and took out the hosta to take a closer look. The carved begonia flower on the top is her favorite, such a hairpin, she praised the monthly money of her life may not be able to buy one, but some people can give a maid at will, no, it should be said that it is a reward.
Chunting put away this hairpin, since it was said that the little girl stole it, then it can't let this hairpin have any mistakes.
Putting the brocade box into his sleeve, Chunting suddenly remembered the last words of the little maid.
She is still healthy and healthy, as long as some people don't disturb her life again and again, she is healthy every day!
