Chapter Twenty-Four: Night Party Mama Yang
Xia Lu came back early, she didn't ask when she saw that Chen Xiaoxiao had an injury on her face, she was busy with herself, she knew that Chen Xiaoxiao was injured, but she wouldn't ask.
Chen Xiaoxiao was injured, it had nothing to do with her, at noon, she had been hiding in the dark, and even the scene where Concubine Liu warned Chen Xiaoxiao later, she also saw it.
Xia Lu raised her hand and carefully looked at the bracelet she had obtained, not to mention how happy she was.
In contrast, Chen Xiaoxiao was a little decadent, but she sat up at this time.
She took out her old clothes and prepared to make some little doll clothes, and when she looked through them, she was not ready to make them, this dress was too old.
If my younger brother comes out and wears such old clothes, it will inevitably be uncomfortable.
Chen Xiaoxiao was worried, she hadn't seen the child in her mother's womb come out in her previous life, but after so many years of thinking about a male baby, she always hoped that her mother could give birth to a male baby.
So she has always been firm that the child in her mother's womb is her younger brother, which is almost an obsession.
Anyone who has been said to be out of business for more than ten years will be like this, not to mention that some people may be even crazier.
However, fortunately, my father did not give up my mother, and I have not compromised for more than ten years.
She looked carefully, her two clothes were sewn and mended, none of them were good, no, such clothes could not be changed for her brother.
She now has ten taels of silver, but she has to choose some good fabrics for her brother, and she has to prepare one for her father and mother.
Chen Xiaoxiao put down her old clothes and asked Xia Lu, "Xia Lu, do you know where to buy fabrics?" I want to buy some. ”
Xia Lu distracted herself from her bracelet and tilted her head to glance at Chen Xiaoxiao, "What are you asking for?" Do you want to buy? ”
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, I want to make some clothes for my family and take them home next month." ”
"You can give money to Mama Yang, she can help you go out of the house to buy, and she usually relies on this to earn some pocket money." Xia Lu thought about it for a while, and then said that although Mama Yang taught newcomers, there were not many newcomers in the house, so she was naturally free.
"Mama Yang, is the one who teaches newcomers the rules in the backyard?" Chen Xiaoxiao was delighted, if she knew her, it would be even better!
"Well, that's her." Xia Lu nodded, she had been in the palace longer than Chen Xiaoxiao, and the gossip was better than her.
"Then I'll look for her tomorrow, it's too late today!" Chen Xiaoxiao said with a pity on her face, she really wanted to go now, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's too late.
"Actually, if you go now, Mama Yang may not be asleep, and she has just been free at this time, and Mama Yang doesn't have to keep vigil." Xia Lu rarely reminded her.
Chen Xiaoxiao thought about it, too, it is almost this time to go tomorrow, it is better to go now.
She stood up suddenly, forgetting that there were still injuries on her body, and suddenly she was drenched in cold sweat with pain, and she slowed down for a while before walking out.
Before leaving, she told Xia Lu not to lock the door.
Hurriedly passing through one courtyard after another, Chen Xiaoxiao came to the courtyard where they learned the rules at the beginning, and it was quiet.
There are no newcomers recently, Mama Yang is free, sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, holding a fan in her hand, as soon as she looked up, she saw Chen Xiaoxiao.
At this time, Chen Xiaoxiao also reacted and came up to salute, "I've seen Mama Yang." ”
"What are you going to do?" Mama Yang asked.
"The slave wants to buy some cloth for Mama." Chen Xiaoxiao respectfully explained her intentions.
"Buy cloth? You are usually in the palace and have custom-made clothes, why do you still buy them? Mama Yang didn't know the situation of Chen Xiaoxiao's family, but she usually came to the palace to be a slave, and she didn't have any money at home, thinking that she wanted to learn from those bed-climbing maids, and her face instantly pulled down.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know why Mama Yang was unhappy, she whispered, "The slave maid is not made for herself, the slave maid wants to buy it, make it for her mother, and the child in her belly." ”
When Mama Yang heard this, her face became better, but her tone was still not good, "How much do you want to buy, where did you get the money?" ”
Chen Xiaoxiao replied truthfully, "The slave maid was rewarded by the prince, a total of ten taels of silver, Xia Lu, who worked with the slave maid, inquired, and only then did she know that Mama could help." ”
She didn't say that she not only got a reward, but also a punishment, for fear that Mama would be unhappy.
Hearing this, Mama Yang didn't want to ask her about her family anymore, so she only asked her, "What kind of cloth do you want, cotton and silk cloth?" How much? ”
"One cotton cloth and one silk cloth." Chen Xiaoxiao replied, make one cotton cloth for her father and mother, and leave all the silk cloth for her younger brother, and she has her own clothes issued by the palace, so she doesn't need to make it again.
"Okay, give me the money, cotton cloth is 400 wen a horse, silk cloth is more expensive, one tael of silver a horse, let me buy you have to add another 20 wen, a total of one tael plus 420 wen." Mama Yang said.
If she wants to run errands, of course she has to pay, a low-level girl like Chen Xiaoxiao who has just entered the house is not qualified to leave the house, and Mama Yang will earn some pocket money, although it is not much, but it is also a lot.
Twenty Wen, Chen Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant in her heart, a little expensive, but she couldn't get out of the house, and Mama Yang had to go to the street to buy it, and she had to walk a while, thinking so, she was relieved.
She took out the silver and took two taels of silver, "Mama, the slave maid has no broken money, so she can only give you two taels of silver." ”
"Okay." Mama Yang stood up and went to the house for a while before finding out the five hundred and eighty yuan and giving it to Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Now, I'm looking for your money, and I've collected it." Mama Yang said.
"Okay, Mama." Chen Xiaoxiao took the money and thanked sincerely, "Thank you, Mama." ”
"Okay, you go back, just come and get the cloth the day after tomorrow." Mama Yang sat down and waved her hand.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Chen Xiaoxiao said, and then withdrew, leaving Mama Yang alone in the courtyard to cool off.
Chen Xiaoxiao walked back, not daring to make too much noise, and when she returned to the outside of the room, she pushed the door with her hand, and suddenly found that she couldn't push it.
The door is locked from the inside, what's going on?
Didn't she ask Xia Lu not to lock the door before leaving? And Xia Lu obviously knew that she was out, so she shouldn't lock the door!
She approached the door and whispered inside, "Xia Lu! Xia Lu, open the door. ”
"Xia Lu, open the door!"
"Xia Lu, Xia Lu!"
No one answered Chen Xiaoxiao, making her think that she was in the wrong place for a while, but she looked left and right, it was indeed here, why did Xia Lu lock her out.
"Xia Lu, are you asleep? Is it okay to come out and open the door? ”
There was still no movement in the room, and Xia Lu inside turned over, the corners of her mouth hooked up proudly, and her eyes closed.
Squeak———
The door of the room next to it opened, and someone came out, this is Chunyan, the personal palace maid of King An, it is not her vigil tonight, so she is resting, she is wearing underwear, and her tone is quite dissatisfied, "Who, let people sleep, what are you shouting here!" ”
Chen Xiaoxiao was startled, her heart pounded, "This sister, the slave's room is locked from the inside, and there are people inside, but she doesn't open the door for the slave and maid, and she can't enter." ”
"Huh?" Chunyan yawned, and when she heard that there was someone inside, she pushed down the door and locked it from the inside.
She looked Chen Xiaoxiao up and down, feeling troublesome, "Where have you been?" If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, it's no wonder that others won't let you in. ”
"If you go back to my sister, the slave maid went to find Mama Yang, and she came back late, and she can't get in now, what should I do?" Chen Xiaoxiao said.
Chunyan didn't answer her, she slammed the door with her hand, banging loudly, and said while patting, "Inside, give me death, don't pretend to be dead for me, if you don't come out again, I'll slam the door!" ”
Xia Lu was already scared when Chunyan came out, isn't Sister Yuelan resting today, how can it be Chunyan?
