Chapter 2: The Beginning
Liu Yunyun returned to the Yun Courtyard, and the little girl Huanhuan hurriedly greeted her, frowning and making a bitter face, "My young lady, why did you come back?" As he spoke, he turned around to let Liu Yunyun look at herself, and said, "Take a look, take a look!" My nervous clothes are soaked, I'm dressed up like you, in case my grandmother finds out, I'll have to punish you again! ”
Liu Yunyun reached out and lightly touched her forehead, and said with a smile as she walked into the house: "Aren't I coming back!" It's okay, I've laid it all out, and I definitely won't let you carry the black pot. ”
Huanhuan let out a loud "sigh......", with a solemn face, and followed Liu Yunyun into the house.
Waiting for Liu Yunyun to take off her cloak, Huanhuan stood behind her, and continued unrelentingly: "Anyway, there will be no next time!" In the future, I will go there when the second lady goes, and I must not go out alone again. Liu Yunyun sat at the table and drank a sip of water, heard Huanhuan's serious tone, laughed, put down the cup, turned around and squeaked Huanhuan's small waist, and said with a smile: "Okay, well, listen to our Huanhuan little beauty in the future, if you have any instructions, don't be polite." Huanhuan laughed and dodged around the table, "The second miss is tormented by the slave, how can the slave tell the second miss, oops, the second miss don't scratch, it's so itchy, the slave is all for the good of the second miss"
The two chased and played, laughed for a while, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat on the chair, Liu Yunyun relieved the depression in her heart.
Xiaoxiao carried the food box, opened the curtain and came in, looking at the two people who didn't look like the master and servant, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Second Miss, come and eat, don't be hungry and have a stomachache." The last sentence obviously complains that Liu Yunyun doesn't care about her body.
Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao were Liu Yunyun's personal girls when she was less than four years old, her grandfather chose them, when the two of them first came to Liufu, they were severely detained, Liu Yunyun was not a typical ancient person at all, especially the two skinny girls who were only five or six years old, they really couldn't make themselves "Huang Shiren" and specifically bullied "Yang Bailao".
So for these two girls, Liu Yunyun never put on a master's shelf, and discussed anything, read and learn by herself, and let them learn together, and never scolded them. Doing something naughty is also planned by several people.
As the days of getting along longer, the two became more loyal and maintained to Liu Yunyun.
When Liu Yunyun wore it, her body was sick and weak, and she had a little headache and brain fever on weekdays, and the two of them were more worried and sad than if they were sick. So much so that now, between the three of them, it is an indestructible "revolutionary emotion". The love of master and servant sisters is not enough to describe, but the love of "comrades-in-arms" is a little more reliable.
Huanhuan is simple and innocent, bold, what is the danger, the first to rush to the front to protect Liu Yunyun, so Liu Yunyun renamed this girl who was almost eight years old at the time Huanhuan, hoping that she could live happily all the time.
Xiaoxiao is cautious and calm, a bit of a cold beauty, but when she smiles, she can warm people's hearts and is particularly good-looking, so Liu Yunyun changed her name to Xiaoxiao.
Liu Yunyun thought at the time that Huanhuan was a jumpy personality and enthusiastic; The smile is calm and steady, but it warms people's hearts like a warm current. Grandfather was genuinely helping her choose the right partner for her.
Liu Yunyun doesn't like others to despise the people around her, so deep down, these two girls are partners rather than maids. Of course, secular ethical rules still have to be observed, and Liu Yunyun is not a Mary Sue to the point where she wants to change the day and brainwash everyone "everyone is equal" because even in the previous life, it was not everyone equal, at least she didn't get extra points in the college entrance examination.
Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao are both smart girls, so in front of outsiders, they and Liu Yunyun also abide by the rules, resolutely perform the duties of the maid, and never exceed the rules. Liu Yunyun is the same, if she protects the maid in front of outsiders, she doesn't understand the rules and has no lady's cultivation, which makes it even more difficult to laugh and laugh. Therefore, Liu Yunyun often takes the two of them out and the first thing she does when she comes back is to close the door, cross her waist with one hand, make a speech with the other, and speak confidently: "How is my Miss Ben's play today?" Is there any Huang Shiren's style? "It's funny and laughing.
Liu Yunyun quickly solved the dinner, Huanhuan put away the dishes and chopsticks, and accompanied Liu Yunyun to the garden of Yunyuan for a walk and eat with a smile.
As soon as she walked around, Liu Yunyun saw her sister, that is, the eldest daughter of Liufushu born to her mother who married Aunt Yan, Liu Tingting.
Although Liu Tingting is only one and a half months older than Liu Yunyun, her stature is much taller than Liu Yunyun, although the two sisters are not from the same mother, but their relationship is very close. Liu Tingting has the demeanor of an eldest sister, and she never thinks about the identity of her daughter-in-law. I have to say that Aunt Yan is very disciplined both in herself and in educating her children.
Liu Yunyun knows that Aunt Yan really loves her father, but she does have a deep relationship with her mother, so the "most vulnerable woman" in this house may be this Aunt Yan.
As soon as Liu Tingting saw Liu Yunyun, she turned her head and told Xiao Tao to guard and not let people approach, she carried a handkerchief, frowned, walked over quickly, and said in a very impulsive but concerned tone: "Why did you start eating at this hour?" Why do you eat so late? What should I do if I have a stomach ache again? ”
Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Tingting's "concern" for Liu Yunyun who was going to talk at length again, and laughed in her heart, the eldest lady was the most able to repair the second lady's laziness. Curtsied to Liu Tingting with a smile: "The slave has seen the eldest lady" Liu Tingting motioned to get up with a smile, and said: "You go to the side and watch, I'll say a word to Yunyun, don't let irrelevant people get close." Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Yunyun, received the instructions of agreement, and immediately retreated to the corner cautiously.
Liu Yunyun watched Xiaoxiao guard the territory, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Tingting's arm, twisted her body, and said while pulling her for a walk: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm in good health!" Seeing that Liu Tingting was still frowning, Liu Yunyun stopped her steps, looked up at Liu Tingting, and said with a serious look on her face: "Is there something important?" ”
Liu Tingting didn't sell it, she leaned into Liu Yunyun's ear and whispered, "Today is not the birthday of Cousin He Yuan, the eldest lady of Chengyi Hou." You didn't want to participate because of your filial piety, but your mother still asked Xiaoqing to send a congratulatory gift. Xiaoqing met the little guy of the Hou Shizi of Jian'an on the road, and the little guy didn't know how to know Xiaoqing, so he found an opportunity and secretly stuffed a note to her, and when Xiaoqing came back, he saw that his mother was talking to his eldest brother, and he didn't dare to delay, so he quietly looked for me. As he spoke, he handed the note to Liu Yunyun.
Liu Yunyun knew that this Xiaoqing was the sister of Liu Tingting's little girl Xiao Tao, she was very alert and cautious, and she also took a fancy to her cleverness at the beginning, so Liu Yunyun suggested to her grandfather that she should go to Fang Ci in the main courtyard on an errand.
Liu Yunyun took the note from Liu Tingting's hand, and looked down at the glimmer of the wind hanging on the wall of the corridor in the courtyard, looked down and carefully looked at the content of the note, and frowned.
Liu Yunyun slowly closed the note, not so much closing it as holding it tight. The two sisters looked at each other, and Liu Yunyun said softly: "Don't let your mother know, she will only be more worried if she knows." I guess I just want to tell my eldest brother about this, alas...... Go back and let Xiao Tao send the note to the eldest brother first, and see what he has in mind? Maybe we can really rely on this big backer! ”
Liu Tingting nodded approvingly, "Alas, the eldest brother has enough trouble, I am a concubine, and I have more than enough strength to help...... "said, without waiting for Liu Yunyun to answer, she pursed her lips self-deprecatingly, "Cousin He Yuan asked Xiao Tao to pass on a message to you today, saying that she recently learned the rules from the grandmother in the palace, and asked if you want to join us?" ”
Liu Yunyun has been in the world for so many years, and she still doesn't know how to persuade Liu Tingting about this "concubine". If it is said that as the standard of this world, a concubine is outstanding in everything and wants to get ahead, it will indeed make people despise her family for not educating her offspring well, and it is not a good thing for a weak or strong or strong concubine.
On weekdays, the children of the concubines are not allowed to go out of the house to participate in the "social activities" of the children of the nobility, and unless they come to their own homes, they can serve as a foil for the sons and daughters and participate in the hospitality. Liu Yunyun is also helpless to follow such rules, after all, the situation of "unity and friendship" in her own family is indeed too rare in this world.
Hearing Liu Tingting ask about learning the rules, Liu Yunyun subconsciously quickly shook her head, the rules are to be learned, but to learn the rules from the grandmother in the palace, isn't it a pain for an idle egg who is full of food. Besides, can the grandmother in the palace look up to Liufu? This is the way of the world, full of snobbish eyes who step on the high and praise the low.
Liu Yunyun raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Tingting, her eyes rolled slightly, she hugged Liu Tingting's arm affectionately, and asked with a smile: "Sister, do you want to learn the rules from the grandmother in the palace?" I don't want to learn, if it weren't for my mother's strictness, I wouldn't want to learn what this grandmother taught me now. ”
Liu Tingting made Liu Yunyun stare at her, and said in a serious tone: "It is the duty of my daughter's family to learn the rules and the four skills." You are a serious lady in Liufu, how can you not learn the rules and etiquette! In the future, we must not be so lazy, so that outsiders will hear it, and they will only think that our Liufu is not a rule. "When Liu Yunyun saw that her sister was about to go online again, she immediately put her face on Liu Tingting's arm, and the whole person twisted her body like a kraft candy, shaking Liu Tingting's arm while begging for mercy." My good sister, I don't dare anymore, I will definitely listen to you, I will work hard to learn in the future. Liu Tingting stretched out her index finger, knocked on Liu Yunyun's little head, and said, "Remember what you said, don't pretend to be stupid for me when the time comes." Liu Yunyun nodded like pounding garlic, and her voice should be yes.
Liu Yunyun looked at Liu Tingting with a smile and said, "Sister, I'll let Xiaoxiao go and deliver a message to Cousin He Yuan tomorrow?" Let's just say that I also want to learn the rules from this mama, since I can teach me, then let that mama teach you by the way, right? Well...... It's not good, let my cousin talk to that grandma about this? Liu Tingting sighed and nodded in agreement.
Liu Yunyun looked at Liu Tingting with a slight smile, and knew that she had guessed her thoughts, and breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Liu Tingting returned to Tingyuan, Xiaoxing told Aunt Yan that she was here. Liu Tingting smiled and walked quickly to the door to welcome Aunt Yan into the house, and personally took off her cloak. took Aunt Yan's hand and asked her to sit on the warm kang, knelt behind her, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, why are you so early today, your father and mother are asleep?" As he spoke, he massaged Aunt Yan's shoulders and neck.
Aunt Yan breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and patted Liu Tingting's hand that was being massaged, and said with relief: "Don't press it, my shoulder is getting better these days, the second lady made it for me...... What 'painkiller cream' is very effective, and this shoulder doesn't hurt much. Quick, sit down and talk to my aunt. ”
Liu Tingting smiled and pressed hard, and said: "These things that are upside down, don't say it's really ingenious, the chest bundle I gave me, it's not like I can't be strangled, I'll send a few sets to my aunt when I go back." Seeing that Aunt Yan was about to speak, Liu Tingting said gently: "There are no outsiders in this house, let's just talk like this." My aunt works hard every day, and my daughter can't help my aunt with anything, that is, she can knead ideas. Let the daughter also be filial to her aunt. ”
Aunt Yan smiled and said, "Auntie is satisfied with you and Rong Rong's two intimate little padded jackets in this life." Sighed, caressed Liu Tingting's little hand lovingly, looked at her face carefully, and asked gently, "How much did you eat at night?" I saw that the big kitchen bought oranges today, I know that your sisters have not eaten much like oranges since they were young, but there are other fruits to send? ”
"Yes, I eat well, you don't know, as long as there is something fresh, big brother and Yunyun will send me a copy. Auntie, don't worry. Liu Tingting comforted Aunt Yan softly, Aunt Yan smiled and nodded, and pulled her to sit beside her.
Dismissed Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, stuck to Liu Tingting, and whispered: "Miss, today Mrs. Cheng Yihou sent someone to return the gift, and told grandma about asking the second lady about Mama Xi, this woman's rules are the most important, you have to talk to the second miss well, let her take you to learn together." Aunt Yan was a little worried, frowned slightly, and continued:
"Second Miss, this is sometimes...... To put it mildly, grandma is too partial to the eldest young master, and the second lady is such a personality, if it sounds good, it is called open-mindedness, and if it is not good, it is not careful. This is the old lady left, only to see her motivated. You have to persuade her more, and then she will marry someone in the future, and she will ...... her temperament."
