Chapter 128: Holding on to Injustice
In the early morning of August, in the autumn fog, Wei Yining sat on the Luohan couch by the window, holding an old book in his hand and reading fascinated.
The couch is covered with a collar of half-old hibiscus, the curtains of the Xuan window are half rolled, the atrium is falling into dust, and the autumn air is flowing up in wisps, which is a good season for reading.
Chunjiao came in with a basin, and when she saw Wei Yining looking like she was not in a fight with the world and only read the books of sages, she couldn't help but feel unfair in her heart.
She has been following Wei Yining for a long time, Wei Yining has always treated her kindly, and Chunjiao is not without conscience, so she naturally goes to Wei Yining.
Several little girls were working in the yard, and Xiao She'er was not in front of her, so Chunjiao urged: "Girl, don't read the book first, freshen up and go to the front to say goodbye." ”
Wei Yining put down the book good-naturedly, she seemed to have grown taller again, and her chin was slightly sharpened, not as mellow as when she first entered the house, a little less childish, and added a girlish charm.
Chunjiao couldn't help but be angry for her, and muttered: "Madame is really, the person was saved by the girl, and no benefit has fallen, and the Yan family has counted all the kindness to the master." That's not all, if you say a few nice words, it will make people feel comfortable. It's like it's nothing, and they don't even mention it. ”
Wei Yining saved Yan Tingzhen, Wei Zongyong was promoted, the Bao family was very happy, but they didn't read Wei Yining's good, Chunjiao inevitably felt aggrieved for her.
"Last time, the Wei family's thank you gift was so rich, the Yan family is even richer than the Wei family, and the lady returned the thank you gift in full, without even asking Miss." The more Chunjiao spoke, the more indignant she became, and her voice couldn't help but rise.
Wei Yining glanced at her slowly, like a ripple on the water surface in early spring, but Chunjiao was immediately silenced, the fifth lady's eyes were too attentive, both clear and flawless and full of deep meaning, Chunjiao was immediately shallow and ignorant when she looked at her, and the words that were originally held in her stomach suddenly turned into nothing, and she couldn't say half a word.
Wei Yining saw that she didn't say anything anymore, so she said indifferently: "Isn't it good?" My original intention of saving people was not to thank you, and besides, it was a blessing for the whole government that the lord was promoted, and I followed the light. Madame didn't treat me as an outsider, so there was no need to make a fuss. I know you care about me, but in that case, don't talk about it in the future, comb my hair, and go and say goodbye. ”
Chunjiao hurriedly agreed, picked up a comb and combed Wei Yining's hair. Wei Yining's hair was like a black silk, soft and smooth, shining with a faint light.
"The girl's hair is so good," Chunjiao sincerely admired: "It looks good no matter how you comb it." ”
Wei Yining smiled and said nothing, she had to listen to it several times a day, comb her hair in the morning, remove her makeup before going to bed, and Chunjiao had to repeat it.
"Let's go and say hello to Mrs. first," after finishing dressing up, Wei Yining got up and said, "Yesterday, the old lady said that she wanted me to go to her house to eat this morning, and it would be disrespectful to go to Mrs. to say hello after dinner." ”
Chunjiao agreed, obediently followed behind Wei Yining, stepped out of the door and called Xiao She'er first: "Silly girl, obediently look at the doors and windows." ”
Xiao She'er was squatting in the shade of a tree to tease an autumn insect, and after listening to Chunjiao's words, she agreed loudly and stood up, and ran into the house in a few steps.
"Girl," Xiao She'er remembered something important, and called Wei Yining through the window: "The old lady has leftover osmanthus cakes over there and brings me half a plate." ”
Wei Yining smiled and nodded, Xiao She'er was used to eating, and she always thought about what she wanted to eat.
When I went to see Bao's, I happened to meet Wei Yimi.
Wei Yining greeted An, Wei Yimi's expression was always arrogant, and her eyelids were half-drooping and agreed.
Her feet are almost better, but she cherishes herself very much, and she is still held by two girls, and I don't know how badly it hurts.
The two of them entered Bao's house one after the other, Bao was sitting there drinking Xianjia wine, she was not in good health recently, so she wanted to nourish with her heart, so she called a wet nurse, and ate it with human milk and Poria powder every day, which is said to be the most beneficial to the body and beauty.
"Yining, the weather is cold, I'll ask someone to measure you after dinner and make a few more clothes," Bao picked up the Su embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and his tone was full of love: "There is also Yirong, forget about others." ”
"I have enough clothes to wear, so don't worry about me, Madame." Wei Yining has always cared about this, not to mention that the old lady often forces her to use the clothes she has saved to make clothes, and she has no shortage of clothes to wear.
"How can that happen," Bao Shi also resolutely: "You are a great hero in our house, how can I treat you lightly?" ”
As he was talking, Wei Yirong walked over, dressed neatly, wearing new clothes, holding a piece of cake in his hand, eating as he walked.
The child is not sensible, and the cake crumbs will inevitably get on the clothes, Bao Shi immediately sank his face when he saw it, smashed the cake in Wei Yirong's hand, and reprimanded: "There is no such thing as a lady!" In vain, I will dress you in your hair! The girl who followed you is dead?! Why are you so flattering?! ”
Wei Yirong was bluffed, and then burst into tears, she was just a three-year-old child, and it was normal to be greedy.
The people who followed her hurriedly came up and took her away, so as not to make Bao even more angry.
It was the first time that Bao had seen Wei Yining in this battle, her eyebrows were indifferent, she didn't see the slightest emotion, and she looked out of the way.
Chunjiao on the side was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she inexplicably felt that Madame's move seemed to be aimed at Miss Five, especially when she saw Qiuyun, the maid beside Madame, smiling maliciously at her.
This morning, when Chunjiao went to the room to get hot water, she happened to meet Qiuyun who was also there.
Not long after Qiuyun entered the mansion, she served by the Bao family's side, and with her strong temperament, the people in the mansion all scolded her.
She didn't have to do the work of washing her face, but the people in the room knew that she liked to eat steamed pigeon eggs and shredded chicken noodles, so they made it for her every morning and put it on the stove to warm it.
Qiuyun used the excuse of going to the room to fetch water to eat a small stove here, and he was used to it.
When Chunjiao was carrying water, she saw her sitting on a chair in the room, and said while eating: "Madame said that she would make two new clothes for each of our first-class maids, and they should also be equipped with shoes and socks." Our lord has been newly promoted, so naturally there are often guests who come to visit, although we are subordinates, we can't lose the face of the government. ”
The tone was full of showing off and proud, and when Chunjiao saw her face, she was angry.
However, Qiuyun saw that she didn't greet her with a smile when she came, so she immediately lowered her face and said in a sour tone: "Sister Chunjiao, I'm afraid she hasn't opened her eyes yet, right?" What are the slaves pretending to be high? ”
Chunjiao was not happy in her heart, she couldn't control it when she was stabbed like this, and couldn't help but reply: "You are not tall, but don't forget that your two new clothes were exchanged for the lives of our five girls!" ”
Qiu Yun was about to start scolding, but Ruyi happened to come over with a little girl and asked the old lady how the breakfast was prepared.
Qiuyun didn't dare to act in front of Ruyi, so Chunjiao also carried the water and left.
Looking at the current situation, coupled with Qiuyun's dog's stomach that can't hold two taels of oil, most of them are talking in front of Bao's mouth.
