One afternoon in the seventh month of midsummer, the messenger girl from the west courtyard of Wangjiazhuang Dingsheng Garden in Baiyancheng hurriedly came out of the small door of the backyard, passed through a small lotus pond, passed through the gap in the rockery, picked up the shady path and came to the hibiscus garden located on the west side of Wangjiazhuang. ”

The young man named Xiaoding was eleven years old, and he was a little girl who was bought from outside more than a year ago, and he looked loyal and clever, so he was assigned to this hibiscus garden by the steward after only half a year after entering the house. He saw that this girl was sweating, and knew that it was something important, so he immediately got up and walked to the second gate of the hanging flower hall, and replied: "Sister Lan, don't worry, I'll go knock on the door of the inner courtyard, this time Miss Zi will wake up from a nap, and I don't think my sister can talk to the big sisters directly." ”

Na Lan'er was overjoyed, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you Brother Ding for reminding me!" ”

Saying that, he had already walked to the door of the second door of the Hanging Flower Hall, Xiao Ding knocked on the door very regularly, and immediately a woman answered: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Ding bowed his head and said, "Sister Yu'er, Sister Lan in the west courtyard of Dingsheng Garden said that Mrs. Ming has something to explain to Miss, and she has come to pass on the news." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the Hanging Flower Hall opened a small crack, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl inside saw Lan'er, and immediately opened the door, and said, "Sister Lan'er, come in, Miss is awake, you come with me." After speaking, Chong Xiaoding nodded and closed the door.

Xiao Ding also smiled back, looking at the door of the hanging flower hall that closed immediately, there was no reaction, they were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard unless they were led by the master, so they returned to the porch and continued to sit.

Because the sun was big, Yu'er led Lan'er around the corridor of the second courtyard and hurried to the main hall, and came to the door of the Furong Hall, the wooden carved door was open, only two gauze curtains were hung, and the light laughter of the women in the hall could be faintly heard.

At this time, the curtain trembled, but it was the second-class maid Huan Xiu'er who served in the door saw Yu'er leading Lan'er to stand outside the door, and came out to ask: "What's the matter?" ”

Yu'er replied in a low voice, "Sister Xiu'er, Mrs. Ming has something for Sister Lan'er to pass on." ”

Lan'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Mrs. Ming said that Miss Ming would use dinner in her garden, and Mrs. would accompany the master to entertain guests," Lan'er thought for a while and said: "Mrs. Ming specially instructed that Miss was a 'distinguished guest', and said that if she was too busy, she might borrow Sister Yan'er to help." ”

Xiu'er nodded and said, "I'll go back to Miss, you wait first." ”

After a while, only the hazy voice inside was heard, and then there was the footsteps of two people, and Na Xiu'er came out of the main hall with a girl in pink clothes of fifteen or sixteen.

The girl in pink said: "Lan'er, Miss asked me to go back to Mrs. Ming, since there is a shortage of people in Mrs. Ming's room, I will go there first and wait, if it is useful, you can come back again." Then he signaled to Xiu'er, Xiu'er grabbed a handful of big money in her hand, stuffed it into Lan'er's hand, and said, "This is the young lady's reward for you, and you will run on a hot day." ”

Lan'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly blessed the main hall and said, "Miss Xie is compassionate!" Sister Yan'er, please. As he spoke, he turned back to Yu'er and Xiu'er and said, "Thank you two sisters!" ”

Xiu'er smiled and received this thanks, but Yu'er hurriedly shook her head and said no.

Yu'er still led the two back to the door of the weeping flower hall in the inner courtyard, opened the door, closed the door after the two of them left, and returned to sit on the verandah...... Idle. Although the door of the weeping flower hall near the outer garden is usually closed, and the doors and windows on the side facing the second entrance are open, but the heat wave of the noon is too much, and there is still some flowing wind on the verandah, which is considered cool.

The girl in pink just now is Yan'er in the two first-class maid rings next to the young lady, she is only twenty-eight years old, she is very beautiful, and she is dignified, but compared to another first-class girl Huan Bi'er, it is still a little worse, if you want to talk about appearance, Bi'er can be on par with Miss Wang Yuhe, but when it comes to temperament...... After all, Miss is still superior in temperament. Besides, the degree of eating, drinking, and maintenance of the young lady, no matter how you talk about it, a first-class girl ring can't catch up even if she shoots a horse.

Leaning on the pillar in boredom, Yu'er kept judging in her heart, and her own ordinary facial features and slightly dark complexion were not included in the scope of the evaluation.

Yu'er looked at herself guarding this courtyard, and her heart smacked: This is simply a local tyrant among local tyrants, a rich second generation among the rich second generation!

Yes, traversing, overhead, these used to be the materials of Liu Yu's pen to walk the dragon and the phoenix, and now he has become one of them, how can it not make people crazy? However, if someone else crosses over and has a family, a wealthy relative, or even a down-and-out family, how can they come and catch up with the stall that has just been severely affected and sold as a maid?

Well, that's not all, why don't you have a flower and moon appearance? Or don't have any childhood sweethearts to worry about? Or, why is there no free environment, farming and flowers, and then fighting evil or something!

Why is it just a one-brain work, work, or work!

Of course, a few months ago, because she helped Yan'er find the lost handkerchief, she was recommended to Furong Garden to be a little girl, and a month ago, Miss Meng was promoted to a third-class girl, and now...... It's still a girl!

It's just that you don't have to do all the menial work like cleaning.

Is this a career with a future full of light, freedom, and silver?

Yu'er continued to lean against the pillar in a daze. The Hibiscus Garden is a four-way courtyard with a large garden next to it. And the specifications of this set of courtyard houses, according to Liu Yu's opinion, are quite magnificent!

The inverted seat is two rooms on the east side of the gate, separated by a small courtyard, which is the residence of the small servants and also serves as the gatehouse.

The shadow wall facing the entrance of the gate is carved with a picture of a hibiscus coming out of the water. Just by rushing this point, I know that this courtyard was built for the fourth lady. Because the fourth lady's name is Wang Yuhe. Crossing the moon gate is a courtyard to enter, and ten inverted seats are the outer living room, the outer study and the director's office. Further west, through a hanging flower door, there is an inverted room, which is made into a clean room.

On the opposite side is a long and narrow passage, on the left is the main courtyard of the Hibiscus Garden, and the door is naturally locked, only the lady needs to take the carriage directly to the boudoir of the third entrance, and the door here will be opened by the supervisor and the housekeeper's mother and several servants, because this door is locked inside and out.

There are houses in the four directions of the second entrance, the hanging flower hall is in the middle of the inverted seat of the second entrance three rooms, this is the entrance from the main courtyard into the second entrance, there are two wings on the left and right of the hanging flower hall, open a door to the courtyard, and then there are three rooms on each side.

The main room is a slip of five upper rooms, the last three rooms hold the summer, and the middle hall is the "Furong Hall", which is the place where the lady lives and entertains. There is a drill mountain ear room in the east and west, and the verandah on the right does not connect the verandah of the three entrances, and some flowers and plants are also planted in the middle of the open space, which happens to be next to the residence of the second-class Yahuan.
