Chapter 17: The Gan Sisters
Cheng Xiangjin was stunned, "Grandmother is coming to Chang'an?" ”
After thinking about it, yes, a few days ago, I met Wei Xiaolang and Du Guogong's youngest daughter in Baohua Building, so I wrote a letter to my grandmother that day and told her what I had seen. Counting the time, my grandmother should have received the letter two or three days ago. This time I came to Chang'an definitely for the Wei family.
It's just that my grandmother is here, so won't I be able to go to Wannian County?
Seeing that she was depressed and didn't speak anymore, Cheng Chuyang patted her shoulder and comforted, "Wait for my brother to come back and bring you some delicious food!" Don't be unhappy! ”
Cheng Xiangjin nodded reluctantly, "Okay!" ”
The brother and sister left together and went back to their own yards.
The courtyard where Cheng Xiangjin lives now was reserved for her by Mrs. Cheng earlier, and a few magnolias were planted in it. After Cheng Xiangjin came, he directly named the courtyard after Magnolia.
Cheng Xiangjin returned to Yulan Courtyard in frustration, Xiao Yu'er asked her what was wrong, she only shook her head and went back to sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Cheng Xiangjin had just gotten up in a daze, and Mrs. Cheng led two tall and delicate maids into the Magnolia Courtyard.
"The two of them follow me on weekdays, and when my mother saw that you were the only one here, Xiao Yu'er was alone, so she brought her and the two of them over. They will stay in the Magnolia Courtyard for you to send in the future. ”
Cheng Xiangjin waved his hand grinningly after hearing this, "Hehe, no, no, it's enough for my daughter to have a little fish to take care of, where can I use such people." The daughter thinks it's better for her mother to keep them with you. ”
Mrs. Cheng glanced at her after hearing this, "If there are some people in Chang'an City, which little lady is not followed by five or six maids, and you have only three of them here, where is there more?" After the words fell, he turned his head to look at the two maids, "Okay, you two hurry up and see your master!" ”
The two maids got Mrs. Cheng's order, and immediately saluted neatly, "I've seen the girl!" ”
Cheng Xiangjin wanted to say something, but was so frightened by Mrs. Cheng's eyes that she was speechless.
She patted her forehead helplessly and said to the two, "What's your name?" ”
"Slave and maid nectar, slave maid and maid sweet rain."
"Manna and Ganyu, good names!"
"Lift up your heads and let me see."
The two maids didn't twist, and raised their heads very naturally.
Cheng Xiangjin didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he was stunned.
The two of them look exactly the same! How can she tell the difference?
Mrs. Cheng saw the surprise on her face, pursed her lips and snickered, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the two of them are twin sisters. ”
Cheng Xiangjin raised his eyebrows, and his heart was clear, "What are the two of you good at?" ”
"Both slaves and maids can do some fist and foot kung fu, in addition, they can also do laundry, chopping wood, sprinkling and sweeping the yard." After Ganlu finished speaking, Ganyu also nodded in agreement.
Do you know how to do kung fu? This made Cheng Xiangjin a little unexpected!
If there are two more maids who can fight and kick around, won't there be no need to ask my father and brother to send someone to escort me when I go to Zuixianglou in the future?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiangjin smiled with satisfaction. "Which of you two is the best at kung fu? Have you tried it? ”
Ganlu glanced at Ganyu, nodded hesitantly, "It's a comparison, but it's just that the winner has never been distinguished." ”
"Oh, that's the thing? Why don't you let me see it now? Anyway, being idle is idle! ”
When the two sisters heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at Mrs. Cheng eagerly. Mrs. Cheng's eyebrows jumped when she saw this, and she always felt that she had chosen the wrong person for her daughter. Originally, I just wanted to choose two people who knew how to fight to protect Jin'er, why do you think that Jin'er is at risk of being taken crooked?
Mrs. Cheng coughed and said in her heart: I hope I think too much!
"The food in the kitchen should be ready, so let's not compare it yet! The two of you pack up first, and then go to play when you serve Jin'er and want to play! ”
"Yes, ma'am."
After the meal, a few people kicked the shuttlecock in the courtyard again, Cheng Xiangjin was really curious about how powerful Ganlu Ganyu's kung fu was, so he let the two sisters try it before noon.
It's not better than not knowing, it's a comparison, and it almost shocked her jaw to fall!
Where is this bit of fist and foot kung fu? In Cheng Xiangjin's opinion, he is obviously a master!
When the two stopped again, Cheng Xiangjin finally found his voice. "Well, where did you two learn from? When did you start learning martial arts? ”
"Ganyu and I learned kung fu from my brother since we were children, oh, the girl may not have met our brother, his name is Ganlin, and now he is also on an errand in the Yamen." Speaking of this, the little girl's face was faintly complacent.
This is understandable, their brother is the head catcher with the highest martial arts in Jingzhao Yamen, and it is said that kung fu is not under Yan Shaoyin! Now that the two of them have come to Cheng Xiangjin again, the two of them have already heard that this master is the most favored in the whole house. With such a master, she will have hope for the future with Ganyu, right?
Cheng Xiangjin didn't care about the little girl's thoughts, but she didn't expect the two of them to learn kung fu from their own family, and she was a little surprised.
"In this way, I thought you only knew a little about some punches and kicks, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful! Presumably your brother is a master of the masters! ”
Ganyu glanced at Ganlu dissatisfied, threw away the branch that replaced the sword in his hand and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, the girl praised it falsely!" The three slave brothers and sisters are all thanks to the kindness of Lord Yin of the Mansion back then, so they have what they are today. The girl didn't know that the two of us were often bullied when we were young, and we learned martial arts from my brother in order to protect ourselves. Now that the girl does not dislike the two of us, our sisters are grateful. ”
Cheng Xiangjin knew that she was humble, but she could understand a little when she saw Ganyu's cautious appearance. Maybe it's because of the bullying they received when they were young that they caused Ganyu to be so cautious! But this girl is a lively and loving girl, so in this comparison, although the two look the same, their temperaments are very different! It's easy to distinguish!
It's just that I didn't know that there was still some relationship between Nafu Yin's father and the Gan family brothers and sisters, so he pestered the two sisters to tell her in detail.
Xiao Yu'er saw that these two little maids like hemp rods had won the trust of their masters so quickly, and she was a little unhappy in her heart. Stand aside with a puffed face and sulk.
There's no way, who can't let her beat people!
Fortunately, these two people don't have her dexterity at first glance, and they can't help the master pull the thrush, so they can only do some rough work of chopping wood and sprinkling and sweeping, and they can finally keep her personal first maid's job!
Two days later, an inconspicuous Upong carriage came to the door of the mansion from south to north along Suzaku Street. Cheng Xiangjin got the news and waited here with Fu Yin and his wife early, until the familiar carriage stopped here, Cheng Xiangjin couldn't wait to come to the carriage.
