Chapter 33: Reception
In the next few days, Li took Yi'er is various purchases, and she was very busy, and after she sent her new clothes to Tianwailou Yunyi, the empty two cages that were originally prepared for her were suddenly filled, plus the jewelry bought in various jewelry and silver buildings, and a drawer was firmly collected, Yi'er looked at the various jewels in front of her, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh in her heart.
Maybe last time in Wanhuazhai did not buy a suitable head for Yi'er, Li later bought jewelry on the head of the face, extra attentive, with Yi'er, almost didn't go to all the silver buildings in Beikaicheng, things are bought back one by one, Yi'er distressed, Li joked that she said that it was a dowry for her in the future, Yi'er had no choice but to follow her.
However, the last time I didn't buy the Dongzhu head noodles in Wanhuazhai, the next day Wanhuazhai's second shopkeeper Kang Hua brought another set of Dongzhu head noodles to the house to visit, which surprised Yi'er a little that the Dongzhu on the head was even better than the Dongzhu on the head that was not bought!
Kang Hua behaved sincerely, saying that he came to make amends, and in order to apologize, he wanted to send this new set of Dongzhu head noodles to Yi'er!
How much is this thing worth, Li and Yi'er both know it, so they naturally refuse to accept it, but Kang Hua said that she also came to apologize in the name of their owner, if Yi'er's mother and daughter didn't accept it, she couldn't explain it when she went back, and in the end, Li paid eight hundred taels of silver and kept her head.
The new prefect took office, and his family members were in office, those officials and squires, wealthy families were all ready to move, and wanted to get acquainted first, in just a few days, there were countless invitations and stickers were sent in, and the Li family pushed back on the grounds that they had just arrived in Beikai and the inner courtyard needed to be rectified.
This kind of direct door-to-door behavior is of course disrespectful, but it is better than practicality, and on the sixth day after arriving in Beikaesong, Li had no choice but to meet the people who came to visit him for the first time.
This kind of socializing with other ladies and ladies, the Li family naturally wants to take Yi'er with him, so that Yi'er can gradually adapt to this rhythm of life.
However, this first official visit to the mansion was something that Li and Yi'er did not expect, and it turned out to be Zhu Guifu, the same governor of Lianzhou!
Of course, the person who came was not Aunt Tao, even if Zhu Gui doted on Aunt Tao again, how could a concubine be brought to the table on such an occasion? It was Zhu Gui's wife, surnamed Tian, who only brought a maid, and after sending the salute, Tian repeatedly apologized to Li Yi'er for what happened in Wanhuazhai that day!
After a polite time, a few people sat in the garden to taste tea and enjoy the flowers, now the allium orchid blooms just right, although it is a small flower, but it is better than fresh, and there is a fragrance of osmanthus flowers, sitting in the garden is also comfortable.
Tian saw that Yi'er was well-behaved and intelligent, and he didn't hide the liking in his heart, so he grabbed Yi'er's hand and asked this and that, although he took off a jade bracelet on his wrist as a gift when he met, and when he was leaving, he took off a golden hairpin on his head and stuffed it into Yi'er's hand.
Yi'er couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
After sending Tian away, Li shook his head slightly, Yi'er asked, and Li said: "This Zhu Gui is also a fool, such a virtuous original wife doesn't love it, and insists on spoiling any concubine, it's really confused!" ”
After seeing Tian's and setting a precedent, it was not good to see other people in the future, so in the next few days, Yi'er accompanied Li's to meet guests, read books and write in her spare time, and asked Li if she didn't understand something, and life was tight.
The newcomers trained by Mama You have also been sent everywhere to listen to and use, Yi'er's Dongnuan Pavilion suddenly became lively, according to Li's previous arrangement, plus Liuying and Mama Wang, she has four close big girls here, four rough little girls, one housekeeper mother, two rough grandmothers!
The housekeeper's mother was naturally led by Mama Wang, and the four big girls were also led by Liuying. The skinny little girl Camellia was really assigned to Dongnuan Pavilion, but she was not promoted to a big girl, just one of the four rough girls, but she was also special, Yi'er rewarded her with a name called Yingu before, and she was also the only girl named by Yi'er in Dongnuan Pavilion.
It's not that the other people haven't been renamed, in fact, the big girls who are waiting close have all changed their names, but the names were all changed by the Li family, not by Yi'er herself!
The four big girls in front of Yi'er are Liuying, Lufu, Qingli, and Blue Buckwheat, and the four rough girls are Yinlian, Yinhe, Yinggu, and Yinzuo! This rough girl, the Li family took a lot of thought to name the other three according to the silver valley that Yi'er first took.
Now that people have made up for it, many things that were not implemented in the past because of lack of manpower have to rise up now, such as the matter of going to night at night, Mama Wang specially listed a schedule and showed it to Yi'er, Yi'er didn't think of letting people go to the night, and in her bones she didn't regard herself as a Jiaojiao lady who couldn't take care of herself when she couldn't eat, drink and Lazar, but she just showed such a little idea in front of Li's family, and she was immediately reprimanded by Li's and strangled in the cradle!
On this day, the Lianzhou Yun family also came to visit the house, and it was the eldest lady of the Yun family, Qu's, and Qu's youngest daughter Yun Ying, who was also a coincidence, this Yun Yao was the same age as Yi'er, but she was born in July, and she was only half a year younger than Yi'er.
Yun Yao is innocent, and the person is refreshing, and Yi'er went to the fate, a few hours later, the two of them were as good as glue, even the Li family and the Qu family saw it, and they had to be surprised, but the fate between people is really indescribable.
At noon, the Qu family was about to leave, but Yun Yao relied on Yi'er and refused to leave. Li laughed and immediately left the meal, Qu had no choice but to blame Yun Xuan.
Li said: "It's rare for your two children to fall in love, this is also a good thing, don't hide it from the eldest lady, we first came to Beikaicheng, I was afraid that my kite would not be used to it, I was afraid that she would be too restrained, and Xiao Yao'er would come to be a companion with her, I was too late to be happy!" ”
Yun Ying said happily: "Since Madame has said so, then Yao'er will often come to play with Sister Kite in the future, Madame is not allowed to bother Yao'er!" ”
Qu Shi knocked on Yun Xuan's head and said, "How can you speak?" Look at your sister Kite Er, it's just a few months older than you, how much more stable than you? ”
Yun Yu made a grimace and said: "Of course Sister Kite is good, I like them all, it's a pity, my mother gave birth to me as a daughter, otherwise, I will marry Sister Kite back to my mother and you as a daughter-in-law, so I estimate that my mother will wake up laughing when you fall asleep!" ”
Qu Shi feigned annoyance and reached out to grab Yun Xuan, but Yun Xuan hid behind Yi'er with a smile.
After lunch, and playing for a long time, Yun Yao reluctantly followed Qu's away, and when he left, he still held Yi'er's hand, and told Yi'er to let them go to Yunfu another day, and when he saw Yi'er's answer, he happily followed Qu's go.
Yi'er was a little hindsight, and when she chatted with the Li family, she realized that this Qu family should be the mother of Yun Xuan, the fifth son of Yun, if she really went to Yun Mansion as a guest, would she meet Yun Xuan? There is a difference between men and women, and the possibility of coming to meet Yun Xuan is very low, but what if you do?
When I went back to the East Warm Pavilion, just after the moon gate, I saw a little girl in the garden from a distance carrying a kettle to water the flowers, but it was obvious that the little girl was distracted, and the flan she was watering was obviously watered, but she didn't realize it, and she was still trying to make water, and finally, the water had overflowed through the flower pot and overflowed, and she woke up.
It just so happened that this scene was seen by Grandma Sun who came over, and immediately reprimanded Grandma Sun!
Yi'er thought about it, and asked Lan Qiao behind her to call the girl over.
Qingli took out a square handkerchief and wiped the wooden stool on the verandah, Yi'er sat down, and watched the little girl tremble and follow Lan Qiao over.
This little girl is Yingu, at this time her heart is up and down, just now Grandma Sun told her how much silver the Fran plant is worth, if it is because she has watered too much, then if there is anything wrong with the Fran, it is not enough to compensate her for buying ten times, she was so scared that she couldn't do it, knowing that she had made a mistake, but she didn't know how the young lady would punish her, so after she came over, she knelt down in front of Yi'er all of a sudden, her body trembled, and she couldn't even speak.
Yi'er motioned to Lan Qiao to help people up, and said, "In the past few days in the house, are you still used to it?" ”
Yingu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Yi'er not to ask her about watering the flowers, but to ask this, she couldn't help but look up at Yi'er with some doubts, and saw Yi'er with a smile on her face, she was extremely friendly, and immediately settled down, and hurriedly said: "Habit, all sisters and grandmothers are good to me, and the meals are full, I, I am very satisfied!" ”
Lan Qiao frowned and said, "Didn't Mama You teach you, you can't use me when you reply to the master, you have to call yourself a slave, and you have forgotten this?" ”
Yingu was shocked, hurriedly threw himself on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Miss forgiveness, Miss forgiveness!" ”
Yi'er said: "You get up first." ”
Yingu looked for it again, but she hung so low that she didn't dare to look up.
Yi'er said, "Can you tell me, what were you thinking when you watered the flowers just now?" ”
Yingu's body trembled suddenly, thinking that Miss still asked about this, no matter what, she made a mistake, and she should be punished, I just hope that Miss is kind-hearted, just don't throw her out.
Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Lan Qiao couldn't help but stab her from behind, and said softly, "Miss is asking you!" ”
Yingu fell to his knees again and said: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid should not think about other things while working, and the slave and the maid will not dare in the future, Miss spare her life, don't drive me out, I will change it in the future, I promise never again!" ”
