As soon as the autumn breeze blew, three or five maids under the stairs were busy using brooms to pick up the pile of yellow leaves, but there were still a few leaves fluttering up and being swept into the spring house by the wind.

Rong Jin, who was learning the rules, was saluting absentmindedly, and suddenly saw a chubby insect on a yellow leaf at his feet, so he stretched out his leg to grind it......

With a "whew", the thin bamboo strips were pumped on her calves, she hissed lightly, and Huo Di squatted down to protect the two Lingding legs.

"Miss, do you remember what was the first thing you did to learn the rules?" A mother-in-law wearing a dark brown back-patterned trimmed robe stood solemnly in front of Rong Jin, waving a thin bamboo branch in her right hand.

Rong Jin rubbed his legs and stomach lightly, and said weakly: "Concentrate," he stood up and lowered his eyebrows to make an obedient gesture.

Yesterday, after she heard her wife's words to explain to Meng's mother, she understood that a beating was inevitable today.

Mother Meng shook the bamboo branch lightly and walked two steps around Rong Jin, "Don't blame the old slave for talking too much, according to Miss Miss's learning method, it has been half a year, even if you can't learn it well for a lifetime, a worship ceremony, I taught it five times yesterday, and I forgot it today, the first step is to increase the forehead with both hands, which hand is on it?" ”

"Right hand on top."

"If you know, why are you doing it wrong?" Mother Meng looked at her.

Rong Jin glared at the chubby little insect on the leaf, and his heart was all your fault.

"Miss, I'm afraid I'm going to get used to it again, but now that you've returned to the Lin Mansion, you have to change your previous bad habits one by one, are you still like a wild girl? You are Miss Everyone, and in the future, the etiquette will be wrong, and people will laugh at the daughter of the Lin family for not being educated. ”

These words sounded very harsh, Rong Jin was not convinced, pouted and whispered: "It's not that I don't understand the rules." ”

Although she was raised outside when she was young, her biological mother, Aunt Zhou, did not forget her, and asked her grandmother and husband to teach her at home. It's just that books are to be read every day, but the rules are enough for a year, and the small family is not so particular, so it is inevitable that they will be rusty, and when she returned home half a year ago, she even made a joke about walking.

"What are you talking about?" When Meng's mother heard her muttering, she immediately lowered her face.

Rong Jin glanced at the thin bamboo strip in Meng's mother's hand, and said respectfully: "You have learned a lesson, I understand." ”

Mother Meng looked at her coldly, mixed her hands, and said solemnly: "It's useless to concentrate and study, so let's stop here today." After saying that, he squatted down towards Rong Jin and slowly walked out......

Rong Jin sighed to herself that the passing years were unfavorable, and when she heard the footsteps far away, the depressed breath in her chest came out, so she moved to the side of the Luohan couch and sat down, lifted the hem of her skirt and gently rubbed it through the white silk pants.

The thin bamboo strips make people scorching pain, but fortunately they don't hurt their muscles and bones.

"Miss!" A green-clothed maid with dark skin and crisp flesh came in through the door.

Rong Jin put down Luo's skirt as if she had a hot hand, looked up, and saw that it was a finch, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and lifted the skirt again to rub it.

Que'er is a maid who has served her since she was a child, and in this huge forest mansion, she is the only one who is her own.

She trotted forward, squatted down and rubbed Rong Jin's legs, because of anger, her little face turned red, and complained: "I heard it just now, the slave maid's heart trembled, even the slave maid has never been punished like this!" Miss, slave maid look at this Meng mother is deliberately embarrassing you, every day to teach two hours, but she only teaches one hour every time and then goes to rest, tired Miss has not learned all the rules for half a year, this is it, how can there be pumping people at every turn, and pumping the master, even the big family can't do this? ”

"Mother Meng is my wife who came to teach me the rules, I think I am a very decent old man in the house, but your young lady and I are just a nominal young lady, I can't compare with yo," she took away the bird's hand and walked two steps on the ground by herself, feeling much better.

Que'er pouted and stopped talking, got up and followed behind Rong Jin, walked out of Yingchun Residence and walked slowly on the right side of the road......

Seeing that Rong Jin was walking differently, Que'er couldn't help but persuade again: "Miss might as well go and complain to Mrs." ”

"What's the use of suing?" Rong Jin was careless. Meng's mother deliberately made things difficult for her at the behest of her wife, and she also ran to sue, didn't she bump into herself?

She has always been very self-aware, half a year ago when she returned to the house, a huge Lin Mansion, but only assigned her a temporary side courtyard, then she knew how unpopular she was in this mansion. Also, she is a concubine who has just been picked up from outside, and a little decent slave can come and whip her.

However, Rong Jin didn't understand, the Lin family didn't lack her food, how could they raise her outside, not only did they raise her outside, but what did they do to bring her back?

After walking dozens of steps, the vision suddenly opened up, and the finch pointed to the four-corner pavilion in the distance, and said excitedly: "Miss, Miss, look!" "Que'er has no heart and no lungs, and when he sees the fun, he throws all his troubles out of the clouds.

Rong Jin looked over and saw a few maids dressed in red and green in the pavilion in the distance giggling and kicking shuttlecocks.

A colorful shuttlecock flew from the east corner of the pavilion to the west corner, and was reflexively kicked and kicked back by a green-clothed servant.

This time it was so dangerous, Rong Jin was so excited that he walked down the stone steps, and suddenly saw a cyan shadow in the pavilion that was covered by a wide banana leaf.

Look at that steady standing posture, which one is not the second sister? Although she has been in the house for half a year, she is not familiar with several sisters, and if she goes, she has to pretend to be familiar with each other, but everyone is embarrassed.

"No," Rong Jin took a few steps east, "let's go back." ”

"Not going? Miss, don't you like to kick shuttlecocks? Que'er stared at Rong Jin with wide eyes, and begged softly: "Miss, let's take a look, it's boring to be bored in Yimei Courtyard every day, go and go." ”

Rong Jin was actually itching tightly, and wondered a little, in the end, he snuggled up to the finch and walked with her to the Sifang Pavilion.

After only a few steps, in the dense plantain bushes on the right, there were several yin and yang strange voices.

"Last time, I was almost transferred to Yimei Courtyard, but fortunately, I asked my aunt to say that I was sent to Bai Suzhai to serve, otherwise I am afraid that there will never be a day."

"Yes, it's better to stay in the kitchen to serve a promising young lady in Yimei Courtyard."

"You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and staying in the kitchen is the day when you don't get ahead!"

A burst of laughter ensued.

"But it's strange to say, why do you want to keep the fourth lady outside?"

"You don't know this, my aunt said," the voice became softer, Rong Jin had to get closer and listen carefully, only to hear them say: "When the fourth lady was born, there was a Taoist priest who came to the door said that she was hard-charactered, and she was demoted, so the old lady made the decision, and let a family surnamed Xu take her outside to raise, until Aunt Zhou died, she took her back to the funeral, and simply stayed." ”

Rong Jin was shocked, she couldn't have imagined that she was raised outside for this reason.

"If you want me to say, it's better not to take back such trouble, although she looks outstanding, her brain is not very good, I have been learning the rules for half a year, and I still hear Mother Kong complain from time to time, saying that she was raised in the wild, and she can't be corrected."

"What does it matter if the rules are good or not, if you have such a pretty face, you don't understand the rules, and in the future, there will be a prince and grandson who will break through the threshold to ask for marriage, but unfortunately he was not born in his wife's belly, even if he entered a high-ranking family, he can only be a concubine, like Aunt Zhou, who relies on beauty to envelop the main family," after the irony, there was another burst of laughter......

"Phew, mouth full of!" The finch took a sip and blurted out the rough country dialect.

She had already stepped out on one leg, ready to teach the broken minions a lesson, but Rong Jin grabbed her elbow and shook her head at her.

If you want to say annoyed, Rong Jin is even more annoyed, these Diao slaves are really poisonous in their words, just arrange her, she is too lazy to care about a few words, but with her dead mother, this is too much.

But she is no different from being under the fence in this house, and she is not good at reprimanding her servant at will.

"Ahem, ahem," Rong Jin deliberately coughed twice, reminding them that she was here now, and those who knew each other should quickly shut up.

"Who!"

Sure enough, the three maids who were sitting on the stone pier and chattering their teeth suddenly stood up, looked around, and saw Rong Jin walking slowly.

The two green-clothed maids were in a panic, and hurriedly squatted down to salute and call Miss Four, only the head of the leader in the red dress tilted his head and squatted towards Rong Jin very reluctantly.

This red-clothed maid is really arrogant, if you spare such a person, she will still bully you, especially if she says who is not good, she is biased towards her own mother.

"What's your name, and where are you on an errand?" Rong Jin stepped forward and looked at the person who was a head taller than her.

The red-clothed maid was stared at by Rong Jin, and finally couldn't help lowering her eyes, but her voice was high, "Slave Bixi, serve in Bai Su Zhai." ”

Rong Jin let out a long sigh, "It turned out to be from the eldest brother's room, you said that?" ”

Before Bixi could answer, the two green ones glanced at each other, knelt down, kowtowed to Rong Jin, and said, "The fourth lady forgives her sins, and the slave has no obstruction." ”

Bixi looked down and snickered.

Rong Jin glanced at the two maids who knelt down, and said slightly: "The master of the arrangement should be punished, but Bixi, you are a first-class maid, and the lack of control caused them to speak wildly, so I will punish you for standing here for an hour." ”

Bixi's smile froze on her face, and she raised her eyes to look at Rong Jin in amazement, seeing that Rong Jin smiled softly, but her eyes were firm, for a long time, she finally softened first, and gave Rong Jin a blessing, "Miss Xie mentions, the slave maid will definitely control them well in the future." ”

Rong Jin stroked the soft bangs in front of his forehead, hummed lightly, and walked to the east moon gate......

Que'er kept up, and for the first time in the past six months, she saw her master lose her temper, and she couldn't help but turn red with excitement, and she even had the strength to walk, "Miss should be like today, and if she meets someone who chews the root of her tongue again, she will train them all!" ”

Rong Jin shook her head, just after a while, she was as excited as when she was a child and secretly drank behind Xu's mother's back. But it was just a moment of refreshment, and afterwards she deeply regretted and blamed herself: "Tell you to come out, make you restless, I didn't let you speak, what did you say?" ”
