Text Chapter 236: Daoxiangyuan
Yi'er was a little surprised, Qingli is the most stable on weekdays, how did she take the lead in leading the maids to come up and toast today? Seeing that Qing Li finished speaking, he secretly winked at her, then relieved himself, took the wine glass, and said: "You are all people around me, I will toast today, I don't have anything to reward you." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone held back their laughter, and Lu Fu stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss is too shrewd, and the slave maid has not yet said this rewarding word, so she can only retract into her stomach." ”
Everyone laughed, Yi'er glanced at Lufu, drank the fruit wine in the cup in one gulp, and his heart moved, the cup was slightly sweet, but where was the fruit wine, but it was just brown sugar water, knowing that it was Qingli who secretly changed the fruit wine, he smiled and kept silent.
The wine was half-drunk, and just stopped a little here, but Lou Da at the table got up and said through the screen: "Sister Gangqingli is right, in the past, the slaves could not find such an opportunity, and today they have such an opportunity, how can the slaves have the courage to respect Miss for a glass." ”
This guy is over middle age, but he cheekily called Qingli his sister, Yi'er reprimanded, and then said: "You have to respect me, it's okay, but I still have something to tell you." You also know that the county lord's mansion rewarded by the emperor has come down, although I live comfortably in my grandmother's eldest princess's mansion, but since the emperor has given me the mansion, if I don't move in for a day, I am afraid that I will also be disrespectful to the emperor. But there are only a few people around me who have to be used, if I really move to the county lord's mansion, there will be some stalls, and there are many others, but the internal and external managers of the house are not sloppy, I want you to find a safe and trustworthy person to come over, do you have a suitable candidate? ”
Lou Da was stunned for a moment, his face was more happy, and he hurriedly said: "Miss wants to find the head of the mansion, of course the slave has been selected, not to mention far away, Miss, you see, isn't the slave the most suitable person?" This is standing in front of the young lady, how can the young lady still use the near and far, and Baba to look around? ”
Yi'er couldn't help but laugh and asked rhetorically, "You?" ”
Lou Dadao: "Miss, look, the slave was sold to Miss, born to be Miss's person, and died to Miss... ”
"Stop!" Yi'er reprimanded, "Speak well, what mess will go out." ”
Lou Da slapped himself and said: "The slave means that the slave is the person who is the young lady, and he is loyal to the young lady, and this one alone is a hundred times more suitable than the candidate that the young lady went out to find." Besides, the slave is also a little capable, and the slave is confident that he can do a good job in this errand of the young lady, so the slave has the cheekiness to recommend himself in front of the young lady. ”
Since Yi'er asked Lou Da, she actually wanted to hand over this errand to Lou Da, but seeing that this person was so thick-skinned, she couldn't help but deliberately say, "If you come over, what about Qin Feng?" I finally opened such a shop, you can't just give me a stall halfway, right? ”
Lou salivated and said, "Then Qin Fengli, what is the important thing on weekdays?" Miss rest assured, even if the slave is not there, Sun Er's shopkeeper can handle it all, and he will not miss Miss's business. ”
Yi'er was relieved and said, "That's fine, then you can hand over to the second shopkeeper Sun, and come over and try it when it's ready." But you are the head of my county lord's mansion, and I am afraid that I can only eat and live in the mansion on weekdays, the largest and most comfortable room in this courtyard. ”
Lou Da said: "The slave is the head of the young lady, which is equivalent to being promoted and knighted, how can you still look down on this broken yard?" ”
Yi'er snorted and said, "You don't look down on my broken yard, that's good, Qingli, after dinner, you will let people throw out the things of the chief manager of Lou, these days, let him find his own place, so as not to live in my broken yard and lose the identity of the general manager of the family." ”
Lou Da was stunned for a moment, then his face was bitter, and he hurriedly said: "The slave is fast-talking, he said the wrong thing, the slave should die, the young lady is a lot, and Wan Wangxing is like a slave." ”
Everyone giggled, and the meal was lively and enjoyable, and the master and servant were happy.
Yi'er ate several glasses of toasting, and also lost Qingli to change the sugar water, otherwise, I am afraid that I will get drunk again.
After accepting the table, Yi'er took Zisui's two-year-old girl Wan'er from Zisui's hand, held it in her arms, and teased the child's tender face. Zisui was a little at a loss, thinking about what Yi'er's identity was, where did she dare to let her hold her, a child from a humble background? Don't say that the flash hurts Yi'er, this kid hasn't passed the decision, if he stains Yi'er's dress, even if he sells their mother and daughter more than ten times, I'm afraid it won't be enough to compensate. But Yi'er stretched out her hand, how could she dare not give it? So Yi'er held the child in her arms, and her heart rose to her throat, for fear that something would go wrong.
It's just obvious that Yi'er is not only skillful in holding the child, but also teasing, making Xiao Wan'er giggle, looking at the posture, it seems that she is usually used to bringing children. Although Zisui felt a little strange in her heart, she was relieved, so she also had the courage to step forward and teach the child to be called "Miss" in a low voice.
Xiao Wan'er was obviously a little late, and she didn't speak very clearly, Zisui taught her a few times before she looked at Yi'er timidly and shouted.
Zisui said: "Miss rarely has time to come over on weekdays, speaking of which, Wan'er hasn't officially kowtowed to Miss yet, so it's better to let her salute and kowtow to Miss today, which can be regarded as gratitude to Miss for her kindness to the slave mother and daughter." ”
Yi'er didn't refuse, Zisui took Wan'er at the moment, and didn't want any futon cushions, just on the bluestone ground, pulled Xiao Wan'er together, and respectfully kowtowed to Yi'er three times. Yi'er smiled and pulled out a silver hairpin on her head, rewarded Wan'er, and said, "Such a villain kowtows to me to beg for reward, this is the first time for me, okay, get up." As he spoke, he personally pulled Wan'er up and gently picked her up and put her on her lap.
Zisui saw that Wan'er had just knelt on the ground, and her skirt was a little dirty, for fear of staining Yi'er's skirt, and when she was about to go up and lift the person down, she saw Yi'er waving her hand, staring at Wan'er, and said with a smile: "Wan'er tell me, how old are you this year?" ”
"Two years old." The little girl thought about it for a while, and then tilted her head and replied.
Zisui said: "This girl is from May, and it has been more than two years and three months." ”
"May?" Yi'er became interested and said, "But what day in May?" ”
"The first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fourth birthday of the fifth month."
Yi'er said "Huh" and said: "This is a coincidence, Xiao Yu is on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5, and our Xiao Wan'er is on the fourth day of the first month, which is only one day away." Thinking about it again, the two of them are also in the same year, and they are really only one day apart, so they nodded at Xiao Wan'er's forehead and said, "I really don't see it, our Xiao Wan'er is still a little sister, a little sister who is a day older." ”
Speaking of which, Wan'er was born petite, but little Du Yu was born like a little fat pig, and Du Yu spoke early, and now he can say very clearly the words that are not too complicated, but Wan'er is the opposite, and now she can only say some simple words and sentences.
Zisui didn't know who this Xiao Yu was in Yi'er's mouth, and she didn't dare to answer rashly, Yi'er mentioned Xiao Du Yu, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, Zisui saw it in her eyes, and she didn't dare to answer out loud.
Lou Da didn't know where to move the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread it on the table, and then ran over happily, bowed down and said to Yi'er: "Miss, this courtyard still lacks a name, since Miss is here, just give Miss another name." ”
Yi'er looked at the battle on the table, frowned, and said, "You want me to write?" ”
Lou Da laughed and said: "Once when the slave went to the house to give Miss something, he met Miss who had just practiced calligraphy, and the sisters around Miss Xuan Paper who used the rice paper had not had time to take it away, and the slave peeked twice. Hehe, the slave has wanted to ask Miss for a long time, but he hasn't seized the opportunity. ”
Yi'er said angrily: "Then you have a good opportunity today?" ”
Lou Da laughed.
Yi'er shook her head, thought about it, stepped forward, picked up her pen, and wrote the three big characters "Daoxiangyuan" on the paper.
Lou Da read it twice, full of joy, and when the ink dried a little, he hurriedly put away the words, and said with a smile: "The slave went to expand this word, made a horizontal plaque, and hung it on the door of this courtyard." ”
When Yi'er wrote the inscription, he thought of Lou Da's idea, and he didn't object, but said: "You Tuogui Tuo, it's up to you to do what plaque you want to do, just a little, you are not allowed to go around with a big mouth to read this word I wrote." ”
Lou Da knows in his heart, Yi'er is Miss Boudoir after all, this handwritten calligraphy and painting is like a daughter's personal belongings, and it is always inappropriate to hang it with such fanfare to make people judge their character, so he originally said this, Yi'er will not agree to him is really not sure, and now I hear that Yi'er is not against using this as a plaque, I am happy, and I am busy: "Miss don't worry, although the slave is reckless, this weight can still be carried clearly." ”
Yi'er left the new courtyard named Daoxiangyuan around Shenshi, and went back to the eldest princess's mansion, but she didn't want to enter the mansion, and heard the baby's cry from afar, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and saw Yang Mill, the prince of Xiang, holding the newborn little royal highness, walked towards her quickly, and the nurse maid followed three or four behind her, Yang Mill walked fast, and these nurses and maids couldn't keep up, and they barely landed three steps behind Yang Mill and followed.
Yi'er frowned, but Yang Mo shouted from afar: "Look at it, what's going on with this child, why does he keep crying?" ”
