"Whoa! Grandma Xie. Diancui smiled sweetly, but her originally bloodless face showed a bit of natural innocence and sweetness, Grandma Lu snorted, and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to do something.

Diancui went to find Lao Diaotou, and the little guy who lived in a yard with him saw that it was a pretty little girl, and said with a red face that Lao Diaotou was unloading at the door, and Diancui asked what kind of goods were unloaded, and the little guy scratched his head and said that the old man had taken a fancy to a batch of peonies, and let Lao Diao Tou buy and plant it in the garden, which was just for the young ladies to enjoy in the spring.

Diancui said goodbye to the little house, and went to the side door with a familiar way, but saw that the old Diao had already picked it out, and was settling accounts with those young and strong flower farmers.

Diancui stepped forward and blessed a blessing, and explained the intention, the old Diao head was settling the accounts, and was disturbed by Diancui, and forgot about the first calculation, seeing that it was a girl with raw eyes, he couldn't help but say angrily, the house has always been clean, where is the rat poison, you go and ask elsewhere.

Dian Cui was not annoyed, just waited on the side, and when he finally finished the calculation and negotiated with the flower farmer, Dian Cui took a step forward and said softly that this account was not right.

Lao Diao's eyes glared: "What's wrong?" ”

Diancui stepped forward and stretched out his red and swollen fingers like small radishes to count, and calculated in an orderly manner: "Fengdanbai three plants, one plant and one penny silver, is three coins of silver, Lu Fan five small plants, one plant of five cents of silver, is two coins and five cents of silver, the birthday star red smoke velvet purple is all five coins a plant, here are four big plants and three small plants, it will cost three taels of silver, what do the two big brothers think?" In addition, this Yao Huang and green incense balls are expensive, two taels of silver per plant, my family wants more, this whole twenty plants, is forty taels of silver, these add up to forty-three taels of five dollars of silver, the two eldest brothers said that because of Yao Huang and green incense balls to buy more than two Feng Dan Bai and Lu Fan a few plants, but our lord in the house said that as long as these are enough, if it just ends with the two kinds of silver money bought before, a total of forty-three taels of silver. ”

The two men were crackled by her for a while, and they couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and they only nodded yes, and even the old Diao Tou had gold stars in his eyes for a while.

The subordinates helped move the peonies to the courtyard, and the old man paid the money, and Diancui followed him to get the medicine for the rats.

"You're from our house too? I didn't expect you to be a good girl, but have you learned? Lao Diao asked as he walked.

Diancui said that she was a maid who had not been here for a few days, and because she had come from the countryside, she had never learned the knowledge of settling accounts.

"Haven't studied?" The old Diao head muttered, this number is a study, but in the house, I specially invited Mr. to teach the young ladies of the sons, I heard that the sons learn faster in the past days, and the young ladies are worse. This new little maid is actually counting the peony trees on the side, and she doesn't even play with the abacus, which is really amazing by the way.

"That's probably ...... Talent? Diancui smiled, her teacher Yuan Zhiheng had also asked so surprised about the accounting, and she couldn't make a fuss herself, and in the end, Yuan Zhiheng could only be attributed to talent.

Lao Diao nodded, his heart may be really talented, and there are not no people in this world who are born to settle accounts without abacus, for example, the housekeeper's wife is capable of this. It's just that I didn't expect this girl to be able to do it.

Lao Diao Tou handed over a pack of rat poison to Dian Cui, explaining how to use it, remembering how to do it, and Dian Cui kept it in his heart one by one.

"What do you want to do with seeds?" The old man asked again.

When Diancui Dao cleaned up the ear room, he turned out some broken jars and crooked pots, and he didn't know what to do with them for a while, and he felt strange and regretful when he threw them away, thinking that some ordinary flowers and plants were planted in them, and they opened when the weather was warm, and they should be extremely beautiful.

When Lao Diao heard it, he couldn't help but be happy, and said that this little girl is interesting, and said that the flower seeds are planted to bloom and get next year, I am just going to transplant peony flowers, and some of the original ordinary flowers and grass in the garden will be thrown away, if you don't like it, you will take it.

Lao Diao raised flowers very well, even those ordinary flowers are also strong roots and fat leaves with buds to be released, a little cui happily picked up some half-branch lotus, a bunch of red, hosta, tuberose, and even a dwarf lilac and phalaenopsis.

"Greedy little girl, have you planted so much?" The old man shook his head and quipped.

"I can plant it, I can plant it, and I have cleaned up a lot of pots and pots, and I just planted them." Diancui smiled and said quickly, and walked back to her small ear room, rinsed all the broken jars and crooked basins with the well water, and hugged them.

Lao Diao Tou looked at her burying her head in the soil and planting flowers, but it was decent, so he couldn't help but stop and point out a thing or two, some flowers like yang, some like yin, some flowers like water, and some flowers will rot if they are watered too much...... Diancui listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.

After planting the flowers, the little guy in the yard with the old man in front of him came to help Dian Cui Du move back to the yard one by one with a red face.

When Diancui sprinkled rat poison everywhere in the ear room, he saw that there was a window on the west wall of the ear room, but it was nailed with a wooden board before, which blocked the light of the room. Diancui found a pickaxe and thought about removing those planks, but the little guy was putting down the last jar of flowers, and when he saw this, he didn't say anything, but stepped forward to take the head, and removed the planks in a few clicks.

"What's your name?" Diancui asked with a smile.

The little guy pulled out the nails on the wooden board one by one, put them into the sweat towel, and then said Du Xiaozhu with a red face.

"Brother Xiaozhu, thank you," Dian Cui's hand was not idle, and he tied the wooden plank without nails with thick hemp rope, ready to throw it outside.

When Du Xiaozhu heard this, he looked at Dian Cui, who was half a head shorter than him, and was about to refute, but saw that her lips were slightly curled and she looked calm even though she was wearing the lightest color cloth, so she unconsciously swallowed the rebuttal, took the wooden board in Dian Cui's hand and carried it on her shoulder, and ran out of the yard.

In the spring, the sun becomes longer, and there is light when it comes to unitary, and at this time a group of maids and women return to the front yard.

"Oh, when did there come out with so many flowers in the yard?" A little maid called out in surprise.

The daylight is elongated, shining under the eaves of each house, in front of the window, the crooked pots in the broken jars are full of vigorous and budding flowers, with a decoration of flowers and plants, and the crooked pots of the broken jars are particularly vivid and simple and interesting.

"It's a bunch of red, it's so beautiful!"

"When this hosta flower blooms, it is fragrant!"

"You got it?" Ruo He was the first to see Diancui who was fetching water by the well and asked Dian Cui.

Diancui nodded, and said that he asked Lao Diaotou, saying that these flowers are easy to feed.

A few maids heard that she sent it, and the expressions on their faces were indescribable, to say that they really shouldn't have accepted her gift, she was a person who made a big mistake, but this flower pot is blooming well, smelling the fragrance, put it under the eaves on this windowsill, the whole courtyard is alive, and which girl doesn't like such a beauty?

"Humph! This kind of thing is also embarrassed to hem to the eaves of everyone, "The one who spoke was the little girl who followed Ruohe, her name is Xiaomei, and she is also new, since she is new at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be a comparison, and Diancui can still live well in this mansion if she commits a crime, which has to make her feel very unconvinced." After saying this, he kicked a pot of tuberose under their house, and the clay pot was broken and sprinkled on the ground.

"What to do! A good pot of flowers has made you a disaster, how can you be so ruthless at a young age. "It was Han Lian in the eldest young master's room who spoke, she was originally a first-class maid, and she should live in the courtyard of the young master, but the eldest young master in the house is an extremely disciplined person, and the maids in the courtyard all live outside, and go to serve some living during the day. Because she has the highest position here, everyone respects her with her as the head.

The little maid Xiaomei just came and didn't understand the rules, everyone is a slave, why are you superior, and now she sarcastically said that it is a pot of tuberose, and my sister will take it if she wants to, what do you do to say these cruel words.

"You're not crazy! Dare to talk to Miss Hanlian like this. Ruohe, who was on the side, was stupid by this maid, and went up and pushed her hard, and the people next to her also pointed at her with disdain.

Xiaomei was pushed by Ruohe and fell on top of the flowers, soiled her clothes, and suddenly cried loudly. The rest of the maids didn't pay any attention to her and went straight back to the room.

Seeing her like this, Diancui didn't plan to help her, she lived two lives and learned a lot, but she didn't learn to meddle with things, and besides, this Xiaomei seemed to be very tired of herself, and Diancui didn't come forward to be bored, but turned around and entered the house and covered the door lightly.

Xiaomei didn't even care about her when she saw it, she was angry and hateful at the moment, so she simply stopped crying, and got up and went into the house to rest.

At night, Diancui was about to blow out the candles to rest, but heard the sound of knocking on the door outside.

Diancui Yifu called the girl Hanlian, but is there something? It was dark and the vigilance in her eyes happened to be hidden. Refuse to know her, this Hanlian girl, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in the previous life she was carried by the eldest young master to the concubine room, and also gave birth to a head, the eldest young grandmother above is a gentle and kind, the eldest young master does not ask about family affairs, I heard that after the separation of the family, she is in charge of the family, the two aunts at the bottom are afraid of her, even the eldest young grandmother finally fell seriously ill She hid from the eldest young master to prevent people from seeing the disease, which is what Diancui occasionally heard when he entered the Taichang Temple Qing Mansion.

Han Lian looks very delicate, with a nose and cherry lips, a goose egg face and phoenix eyes, and a shallow pear vortex on the corner of her mouth with a smile, but with such a sweet sister's appearance, people dare not make a mistake, because there is always a sense of Ling in her eyes with a pair of Danfeng.

Han Lian covered her mouth and smiled, and said I see that it is still early, thinking that you haven't slept yet, come in and see how your house is cleaned up. As he spoke, he stepped in.

Diancui had to let her in, lit the candle head again, poured two teas, and looked at the room inside and out while eating tea, and couldn't help but be amazed, and said:

"It turns out that this house has a window, with a window this house will not be so stuffy, you are also a capable person, this lame bed for you to repair, but also stable, and this plum blossom several, I remember that the paint fell off at that time was very ugly, you sewed the cloth to cover it, and then put a porcelain vase with bamboo branches, and then put a bamboo basket containing needles and threads, a few tea cups, but also elegant tight, ouch! This candlestick is still silver, and the grandmother in front of you thinks it is dirty and throws it away, which makes you scrub and show the original body...... But we are slaves, and we can't use silver items. ”

"It's Diancui's negligence, I just listened to Grandma Lu's instructions to dispose of all the old things in this house, I really didn't think about this layer, and thank Sister Hanlian for reminding me." Dian Cui hurriedly said gratefully, she didn't expect Han Lian to remind herself so kindly.

Han Lian smiled slightly, and said I should also reply, walked to the door and turned his head and said with a smile, You have the same habits when eating tea as the eldest young master.

Diancui was startled and went to see Hanlian, but saw that she had already turned around and gone out. She used to blow twice on the tea surface when she made snack tea, and she loved to turn the tea bowl while drinking. At first, she didn't know why she was like this, but then she knew her life experience, and heard that the eldest prince loved her younger sister very much, and she had taken it with her since she was a child, and some daily habits were formed by her ears and eyes at that time. Dian Cui couldn't help but feel a little sad for a while, and felt that Han Lian's words seemed to mean something, did she have discovered something? can remember that in my previous life, I obviously didn't have any intersection with her......

As soon as he had something on his mind, Diancui couldn't fall asleep anymore, and finally simply sat up and looked at the vague moon outside the window.
