Chapter 152: Huan'er
Zheng Lingyi first asked Lu Nong to take the new maid to settle down, and by the way, he talked to his sister about his thoughts over the years.
She entered the house with Lu Zhu and said, "Huan'er will be a second-class maid under Lu Nong's hands, and Pei'er will be handed over to you." Zheng Lingyi looked at the green beads and said.
Lu Zhu was embarrassed and said, "The slave maid herself has to be carried by Sister Lu Nong." β
Zheng Ling saw that her face was full of worry, and said with a smile: "I don't ask you to teach her to be knowledgeable, just let them do their duty well." But only the two of you are allowed to serve in the house, and they will give you a hand, and you will not be allowed to enter the main house. β
The time that Luzhu has been by Zheng Lingyi's side is not long, she understands Zheng Lingyi's cautious temperament, and thinks of her trust in herself, she can't help but sour her nose, and said, "Okay, the slave knows." β
Zheng Lingyi also had scruples about the green beads, because there was no one around him who could only rely on the green beads, although he later found the green pearls, but he also found that the green beads were simple and smart, naΓ―ve and enthusiastic.
Zheng Lingyi also liked her a little, so she stayed by her side and trained her carefully, but she couldn't teach them one by one, and this patience only gave her a green bead.
There were three more maids, and the courtyard became lively, and Lu Nong got the grace, and opened the treasury and found a few pieces of cloth to make new clothes for these maids.
She stayed up all night last night, and she talked to Huan'er all night, knowing that she had stumbled over the years.
I heard her say that the old man of the original family treated her very well, but the old lady was very mean, and once she gave the maid jewelry as a reward, and she forgot it, and actually said that the maid stole it, and almost beat people to death.
Lu Nong was terrified when he heard it, and he naturally cherished his sister very much.
The cloth in the warehouse is layered, and there are materials for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Lu Nong was worried about what color the girl wore to look good, but she didn't particularly favor it, she planned to have two clothes for each of the three of them.
However, Zheng Lingyi said that he could give Huan'er an extra body, which can be regarded as Lu Nong, who loves her as a sister.
"Sister, the color of this satin is so beautiful, and it is smooth to the touch."
Lu Nong was looking through the cloth, and suddenly heard the voice behind him, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around and said: "Why did you come in, no one is allowed to enter the warehouse, go out and wait for my sister." β
Huan'er blinked and looked at Lu Nong, paced a few steps outside the door, and then leaned behind Lu Nong and said, "Madame wants to make us clothes." β
"Yes, Mrs. treats her subordinates the most kindly, you only follow your sister to serve Mrs. well, and you don't have to do the dirty work."
Since I found my sister, Lu Nong has no regrets, and she laughs when she works and talks.
"What is my sister looking for? I think this satin is good. β
Huan'er couldn't put it down and touched a gorgeous brocade on the shelf, the back of her hand suddenly called Lu Nong and patted it lightly, Huan'er subconsciously retracted her hand, stroked the back of her hand that didn't even have red marks, and looked at Lu Nong with a look of grievance.
Lu Nong wanted to pretend to be angry, but seeing her pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but change her soft tone and coaxed: "How can we use this?" Aren't these cotton cloths also the best? You like bright colors, oh, this goose yellow looks bright. β
Lu Nong said, and laboriously pulled out a goose yellow cloth with dark flowers and brocade patterns from underneath.
Huan'er reluctantly glanced at the brocade, pointed to a bright green one, and said, "I want this." β
Lu Nong relied on her, thinking that she had already chosen two bright ones, so she chose a more plain one.
She concentrated on thinking about what style of cutting was good for Huan'er, but she didn't notice that Huan'er pouted dissatisfied.
A few pieces of cloth were sent to the garment shop outside to be cut and sewn, even if they added money to rush to work, it would take a few days, Lu Nong and Lu Zhu respectively found their old clothes for Huan'er Pei'er to wear,
The green bead's clothes were just right for Pei'er, and she was so happy that she was like something, and happily went out to fetch water and came back to wipe the table and wipe the floor tiles.
Although she lives with Huan'er now, she has a separate bed, which Pei'er never thought about before.
Huan'er was coquettish in Lu Nong's room, thinking that her clothes were fat and her waist was fat, and Lu Nong said that she would accept one inch, and she had to accept two inches before she was willing.
Lu Nong circled with her for a long time, and finally became a little impatient, and scolded: "What are you doing so tightly?" I don't have any dignified temperament, and now I'm not waiting in a small house, so I don't want to hurt my wife's face! β
Huan'er's tears came as soon as she said it, she turned her back with red eyes, and said, "My sister doesn't have me in her heart now, it's all Mrs." β
Lu Nong couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "If Mrs. didn't bother looking for you for me, would we still have the opportunity to meet in this life?" Not only do I have a lady in my heart, but you also have to have a lady in my heart. β
"Isn't there a master in this yard?" Huan'er asked curiously.
She hadn't seen Wu Punishment, but she only heard a low male voice coming from the main room, as intoxicating as a chime.
"What sir? The old man of the Wu family is still there, let's call him the old general. Uncle is just a young master. Besides, Mrs. has an aunt in her heart, and the first thing in our hearts is Mrs. Midori frowned and reiterated.
She didn't hear Huan'er's answer, so she stopped her needlework, stared at her, and said, "Got it?" β
Huan'er had no choice but to nod and say, "Got it." β
She seemed to be idle, sitting on the stool and shaking her legs, her mouth was knocking melon seeds, and she couldn't stop talking.
"The mothers-in-law guarding the door are too old, why did Madame leave that fat woman behind? I thought the eunuchs were very particular. β
Lu Nong listened to her talk so politely, and felt very uncomfortable, after all these years, her sister is no longer what she used to be.
Or maybe Midorino herself didn't realize that in her memories of her sister day after day, the part about her had been glorified.
"If Madame is so exquisite, you and I will have to be sent."
Lu Nong smiled and said this prickly sentence, Huan'er looked at her sister's expression and couldn't help but close her mouth.
She felt that Lu Nong's expression at this time was a bit like the noble aunt and grandmother who only came to visit during the New Year's Festival when she was serving at the master's house in the past.
I heard that this aunt and grandmother are married to the official family, and her general temperament is not ordinary, and the subordinates are the most afraid of her.
Huan'er remembered the lady she was going to serve in the future, her clothes were so plain, but she was still as beautiful as coming out of the painting.
She originally thought that Zheng Lingyi had applied thick powder, but she deliberately took a closer look and found that her skin was delicate and transparent, but she didn't apply grease and powder at all, and when she looked closely, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips were all beautiful.
It's beautiful when you're smiling, and it's beautiful when you're not smiling. Beautiful when you speak, beautiful when you don't speak.
Even her sister's style is more generous and decent than the sisters in the previous family.
Huan'er pulled a thin braid, feeling a little inferior.
But the thought that he was here now, no different from them, made me happy again.
She was affectionately next to Lu Nong, fiddling with a pair of gilded jade earrings she was wearing.
Lu Nong had already touched a little bit of Huan'er's temperament, and said, "When I finish making this dress, I will take it down and give it to you." β
Huan'er grinned for a while, and then fell comfortably on the green bed to stretch her body.
There was some movement outside, and the green thick knot was neatly closed, and told Huan'er to try on clothes, and then walked out the door.
Pei'er hurriedly ran over and said to Lu Nong: "Sister Lu Nong, there is a very dignified old man outside, Sister Lu Zhu is not here, the slave doesn't know how to greet him, you go quickly." β
The 'master' who can let the mother-in-law come in without saying hello is estimated to be the only one.
Lu Nong hurriedly walked towards the main house, and Huan'er saw her go out, so she quickly buckled the button and followed Lu Nong out.
Lu Nongguo saw General Wu standing in the courtyard, although his face was expressionless, but for no reason people felt that he was in a good mood.
"What? The messengers have returned. The third child and his wife haven't come back yet? β
General Wu walked to the side hall of the main house with his hands behind his back, and said to Lu Nong without looking back.
"Nope." Lu Nong hurriedly said, "Old general, is something wrong?" β
As she spoke, she felt a figure sticking in behind her, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Huan'er, and before General Wu could turn around, she waved her out with a wave of her hand.
General Wu sat at the tea table, and Lu Nong went to the door and ordered, "Go to the small kitchen and get a pot of tea." β
Huan'er was stunned as if she hadn't heard it, and when she saw that Pei'er was blessed and went to the small kitchen, she hurriedly followed.
"What a happy event." Old General Wu said, and finally couldn't help but smile a little, "The third child is already a lifter and is among the best, and it will not be a problem to come to next year's Spring Festival." β
Lu Nong was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Congratulations to the old general, the young master has always been smart and diligent, and this is also how it should be." β
General Wu nodded, and saw that the windows in this side hall were bright and clean, the grass and trees on the flower benches were evergreen, and there was a faint fragrance in the room, so he said: "Lingyi, this child, takes good care of this place." β
"Yes, the slave and maid thanked the old general for his wife." Midori said with a smile.
General Wu asked some trivial things such as daily life and food, and when he saw that Lu Nong was calm and calm, he gave her a second look and asked, "You are the maid who married from the Guogong Mansion?" β
Lu Nong just thought about it, and suddenly thought that General Wu should be referring to Lu Zhu, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer.
"Slave maid, slave maid is married by the state government"
Seeing that she was stammering for a long time, General Wu asked suspiciously, "Is it?" β
Lu Nong thought about it for a while, took a step forward, and simply explained to General Wu.
The forged deed and the matter of Ling Ge's detention of her, Lu Nong only lightly mentioned it, but General Wu still frowned when he heard it.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lu Nong and Zheng Lingyi's master and servant are of the same mind, and even their worries are the same.
"Madame can handle it herself, and she definitely doesn't want to trouble the general. Besides, this gang can't help for a while. Madame didn't want the old lady to get worse, so she endured it. β
How can General Wu not see through Qiao's thoughts, he just doesn't bother to pay attention to the filth of Lingge on weekdays.
"Taining met with me before going to Beijing, and told me that now the Guogong Mansion is the head of the Rouxiang family, I didn't know that there was a good show behind it, and I thought about this thing to make Qiao's very proud."
Hearing General Wu say this, Lu Nong didn't dare to answer, only bowed his head deeply.
Seeing that the old general Wu went out from the side, he hurriedly followed and said, "Congratulations to the old general." β
She was also very apprehensive in her heart, not knowing whether she was doing this right or wrong.
