Text Chapter 37: Misfortune 3
"You've got to remember!" Du Juan grabbed Lu Niangzi's arm again, and her tone was full of warning, and said, "You are not allowed to fool my young lady again, the materials sent over later must be more expensive than the ones that my young lady chose last time!" Otherwise......"
"Hey!" Lu Niangzi did not change her face and broke the cuckoo's hand hard, and said with a smile: "Miss Cuckoo's worries are really superfluous, my Mrs. Lu is doing things, Miss Cuckoo will put her heart in her stomach properly, and it is not the first day that I have dealt with Miss Cuckoo, Miss Jiang's first dress after entering Beijing is handled by me, my Mrs. Lu is doing things, Miss Jiang and Miss Cuckoo just rest assured." ”
After that, Lu Niangzi was about to walk outside the house.
"Hey, there's more!" The cuckoo hurriedly called behind Lu Niangzi's back: "I want to make a pot of good tea for my young lady again, my young lady is delicate, and coarse tea is unpalatable......"
Lu Niangzi turned her head and glanced at the hot tea that the little maid had just served in Jiang Ruoyun's hand, the sarcasm in her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Miss Jiang's delicate body should be treated specially, and if I bother Miss Jiang to wait a while, I will go and order the tea room to prepare good tea and serve it." ”
Jiang Ruoyun smiled shyly, nodded lightly, and said softly: "I'm tired of Mrs. Lu." ”
"Go ahead! Go ahead! Just go! Like a fly, the cuckoo impatiently pushed Lu Niangzi out of the house.
"Bump!"
The door was slammed shut from the inside.
Lu Niangzi's face immediately turned into disdain, at this time, she found that the door next door was gently opened, hurriedly turned around, and saw Xia Qing standing at the door and nodded lightly to her, Lu Niangzi hurriedly smiled flatteringly, she took a few steps forward, and silently saluted the house outside the door, and then retreated respectfully.
……
In the private room of Jiang Ruoyun's master and servant.
"What kind of tea is this?" The cuckoo picked up the tea cup in Jiang Ruoyun's hand, shook it and observed it a few times, then tasted it shallowly, smashed it twice, she pouted and complained: "It's really hard to drink, how can Miss let such coarse tea enter it, fortunately, the slave maid is smart and ordered them to serve good tea, Miss has a dry mouth, right?" Just wait a little longer. ”
In fact, Du Juan has only been in Beijing for more than a month, and the attention to tea is also after entering the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, where can she tell whether a good tea or a good tea comes, she just privately thinks that Zhenxiufang will be the same as the store in Shengyuan County, and it is necessary to have special instructions to have good tea to be delivered, and she does not know that the groups served by Zhenxiufang are all the upper-class nobles in the capital, and the tea served is all the same top Longjing.
"It's your mouth." Jiang Ruoyun smiled and glanced at the cuckoo.
"Oh, isn't the slave's mouth raised by the young lady!" The cuckoo half-knelt at Jiang Ruoyun's feet, and while gently beating Jiang Ruoyun's legs, he said flatteringly: "It's all the kindness of the young lady, pity the life of the slave and maid, what is delicious and always want to reward the slave and maid to taste it, the young lady is better to the slave than to her own sister...... The slave must have done a lot of good things in her last life, so she has the honor to serve by the young lady's side in this life......"
"Look at your little mouth is sweet, I really don't care about you." Jiang Ruoyun laughed angrily, and said: "You, you just love to think about something all day long, if you want me to see, you must have done a lot of wrong things in your last life, otherwise, you should be my sister, how can you become my maid." ”
"Don't be the younger sister of the young lady." The cuckoo pouted and said: "What's so good about being Miss Miss's sister, the slave maid has to be Miss's personal maid, and she will follow Miss all her life...... Besides, with the protection of the young lady, the second and third young ladies also want to be kind to me! ”
Jiang Ruoyun is the eldest daughter of Jiang Mansion, and she also has two sisters-in-law, namely Miss Jiang Er and Miss Jiang San.
In fact, in the backyard of Jiang Mansion, although Miss Jiang Er and Miss Jiang San are the masters, they want to please Du Juan, the most favored big girl next to her sister-in-law, Du Juan relies on Jiang Ruoyun's momentum, and she also bullies the two concubines in Jiang Mansion, and she looks down on Jiang Ruoyun's two concubines very much, so she naturally will not envy their identities.
"Those two ...... who can't get on the stage" Jiang Ruoyun frowned when she thought of her two sisters-in-law, and she didn't bother to continue the conversation, obviously disliking her two sisters-in-law.
Du Juan was very sensitive to Jiang Ruoyun's emotional changes, and seeing this, her eyes quickly scanned the room, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Miss, look, is that screen somewhat similar to the one in Mrs. Tai's inner room?" ”
Jiang Ruoyun followed the cuckoo's gaze.
At first glance, she didn't feel that the screen not far away was similar to the one that Mrs. Jiang cherished in the Qingyuan, but after looking at it a few more times, she couldn't help but lightly "Huh! With a sigh, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward to observe carefully.
Looking at this carefully, Jiang Ruoyun's heart couldn't help but be shocked, she was sure that the screen in front of her and the one in Qingyuan should be from the same person, and even more, the one in front of her was even more delicate than the one in Mrs. Jiang's room in terms of some details......
Jiang Ruoyun gently traced the delicate embroidery on the screen, but his heart was silently turning over the river and the sea.
When she was in her hometown of Shengyuan, she thought that she was noble and talented, but after entering the Ningguo Hou Mansion, she knew how the real wealthy nobles lived, and only then did she realize how huge the gap between her and the real Hou Mansion daughter Huang Hongying was, and she understood how ridiculous she was before, and the screen in front of her that seemed to be placed at random set off a new wave in her heart......
Jiang Ruoyun clenched her fists, and secretly decided again in her heart, she would never go back to the poor and remote Shengyuan County to live like a frog at the bottom of the well, what if her cousin didn't like her, as long as her aunt and grandmother liked her, and more importantly, her cousin also liked her...... Thinking of Wen Boyuan, Jiang Ruoyun's churning heart became even hotter, and after seeing Wen Boyuan, she realized that the men she had met before were all worthless!
Jiang Ruoyun remembered that Wen Boyuan gently discussed poetry with her, and greeted her warmly......
No matter what, you have to stay in the capital, stay in the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, and stay by your cousin's side!
Jiang Ruoyun swore to herself in her heart.
Suddenly, the sleeves were shaken vigorously.
His thoughts were interrupted, and Jiang Ruoyun looked at the cuckoo dissatisfied.
The cuckoo hurriedly let go of his hand in fright, and quickly reacted, hurriedly pointed to a screen, and said softly: "Miss, listen!" ”
Jiang Ruoyun didn't know why, so he listened attentively.
A faint voice came from next door.
Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not the work of a well-educated lady, Jiang Ruoyun glared at Du Juan, and was about to scold, but suddenly heard a few words from Ning Guohou Mansion and Wen Shiziye.
Sure enough, he was talking about the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, Du Juan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Miss, listen, they are talking about Ning Guo's ......"
Jiang Ruoyun turned his head and glared at the cuckoo fiercely.
The cuckoo's face turned pale, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands.
Jiang Ruoyun looked closer.
“…… Miss...... Ningguo Marquis Mansion...... The prince ......"
Although the words were a little vague, they were enough for Jiang Ruoyun and Du Juan to conclude that it was right that the private room next door was talking about the affairs of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion.
Jiang Ruoyun's eyes signaled to the cuckoo, and the two worked together to carefully remove the screen, only to see that there was an obvious broken hole in the wall behind the screen, and the sound of conversation came from the hole.
Jiang Ruoyun put his ear close to the entrance of the cave, and the conversation next door finally became clear.
“…… I don't know when the marriage between our young lady and the prince of the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion will be decided......"
Her heart suddenly panicked, Jiang Ruoyun couldn't help but clench the placket on her chest, she thought that she would get some gossip from the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, but she didn't expect to hear such shocking news, and tried her best to stabilize her mind, Jiang Ruoyun listened attentively again.
“…… The last time Mrs. Ning Guohou came to our house, I happened to be waiting on the side, oops, sister, didn't you see it, Mrs. Ning Guohou is like that, obviously I can't wait to marry our young lady and enter the door...... "I only heard a delicate voice say: "...... Mrs. Ning Guohou wanted to talk to our wife about the marriage between Miss and Mrs. Wen Shiye several times, but our wife diverted the topic, and I saw that Mrs. Ning Guohou was very unwilling when she left. ”
"Why? Why did Madame divert the subject? A crisp voice asked eagerly, "Is it?" Isn't it that our lady doesn't have a Chinese prince? Impossible! A man with such appearance and talent as the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion Wen Shiziye, our lady has no reason to be incompatible? ”
"Silly sister! Hehe......" The delicate voice smiled: "Lord Wen Shizi is a famous talented gentleman in the noble circle of the capital, how can our wife not be Chinese the prince?" It's just that after all, we are women in the house, and we always have to be more reserved, so ah, even if our lady is happy in her heart, she has to shirk her meaning a few times in words. ”
Jiang Ruoyun's mood fluctuated greatly, Wen Wei's didn't like her, she had already known it, but she thought that with Mrs. Jiang's support and guarantee, even if Wen Wei's had the intention to prevent her from marrying Wen Boyuan, she would sooner or later be the wife of the prince of Ningguo's mansion!
She never thought that Wen Wei, who she thought was helpless to be suppressed by Mrs. Jiang, not only did she fall in love with other noble girls for Wen Bo in private, but the two families had reached the point of talking about marriage......
