After finishing lunch with the old lady Ruzhen's big sister, Ruqing took a nap and got up and was about to go to Mama Hua's class, but when she got up and Linglong was waiting for her to put on her peach-colored velvet satin jacket, Mother Hu had already lifted the curtain made of wool felt and came in, and said with a smile: "Girl, continue to sleep, you don't have to go to class today." ”

Ruqing couldn't help but be surprised, and Mother Hu explained: "Just now, Mama Hua sent someone over to ask the old lady for leave, saying that she had something to do today and couldn't pull away, so she couldn't come." It's just that people gave a message to the girl, and it must be right for the girl to be cautious about her identity and her words and deeds. ”

Ruqing's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but clap her hands in celebration, "yes, then I can take a good nap." He quickly took off the jacket he had just put on and threw it aside, but in the blink of an eye, the person had already gotten into the rose-red embroidered goose yellow and indigo green two-color Ruyi pattern quilt, revealing only two pairs of big black eyes flashing outside.

Mother Hu couldn't see Ruqing's cute appearance the most, she couldn't help laughing, poked her forehead, and smiled lovingly: "I only know how to sleep all day long, beware of sleeping as a little lazy worm." ”

Ruqing smiled sweetly, "There is a saying, isn't it called lazy people have lazy blessings?" I have never heard of it, and diligent people can also have diligent happiness. ”

Mother Hu shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just that you are crooked, hehe, okay, the girl should sleep well, so that she will have the energy to deal with it at night."

Ruqing was stunned, "At night, will there be any guests?" ”

Mother Hu smiled: "No, it's my aunt and grandmother, the two cousins and the prince of Yujun, then the prince of Yujun likes the sour vinegar fish made by Mrs. Chu very much, so I have to ask Mrs. Chu to make it for him." Then my aunt and grandmother wanted to taste it as well. It is estimated that the meal will not be dispersed until late. ”

Ruqing couldn't help but sigh, that damn Li Xu, is really ghostly, at noon cheekily came to Songhe Courtyard to eat, a pair of thief eyes glanced at her from time to time, so that she wanted to pretend that she didn't see it, it was impossible, she could only pretend to be a lady, looking at the nose and the nose, but the difficulty was a little greater, so that her favorite sugar and vinegar fish was snatched up after only a few bites.

After Mother Hu left, Linglong couldn't help but step forward with a thief's eyebrows, and said in Ruqing's ear, "Girl, I think that Yujun Wang Shizi seems to be very special to you?" ”

Ruqing didn't speak, but Shen Pozi on the side slapped her and hit Linglong's small back, Shen Pozi's dark but slender palm slapped on the Linglong royal blue, pink, light and green parquet armor, made a dull sound, and scolded in a low voice: "What a cheap dead Nizi, these words are also what you can say?" Hurry up and shut up for me, do whatever you have to do, Hugh has to mention half a word in front of people, otherwise the girl can spare you, I won't spare you. ”

What Linglong is most afraid of is that Shen Pozi gets angry, and immediately droops her head and goes out, and Shen Pozi hates iron and steel and scolds a few words, "The dead girl is lazy and only knows how to chew the root of her tongue all day, and she should really cut her tongue and hit a few boards." After scolding, he said to Ruqing with a solemn face: "Girl, don't listen to the dead hooves' nonsense, what pot with what cover, what kind of identity is the prince of Yujun, the girl has to remember the teachings of Mama Hua, and be cautious in her words and deeds." ”

Ruqing lifted the quilt slightly and smiled bitterly, "Mother Shen, you don't have to say much, I understand." I know what to do. ”

Shen Pozi saw Ruqing's serious face, so she breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the corner of the quilt for Ruqing again, and said softly: "The girl is an understanding person, and it would be great if she could know how powerful she was here." The old woman doesn't talk much, just hope that the girl must guard her heart, the so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, this lady is not so easy to be, the first thing the girl does at present is to avoid suspicion, the girl is young, and it is not a big deal to get along with the boy, but the girl has two sisters. ”

Ruqing thought of Rumeiwang Li Xiao's shy and shining eyes, and Rushan looked at Li Xiao's inevitable eyes, and nodded thoughtfully.

However, she didn't pay much attention to Li Zheng's matter, but she looked at Mrs. Shen so closely, and suddenly found a strange feeling, isn't this Mrs. Shen nearly fifty years old? Why don't you see a few marks on your face?

Ruqing knows that the women in the inner house of this era, because they don't pick their shoulders, don't lift their hands, can't blow in the wind, can't hit the thunder, in addition to showing off their conspiracies in the inner house to fight for some favors, most of them are still well maintained, but those women who are slaves and servants are much worse, most of them are getting older faster, Mrs. Liu next to the Li family is the nurse of the Li family, and she is only in her fifties, and her face is full of wrinkles, even Mama Hu, who is the same age as the old lady, has lines on her forehead at the corners of her eyes, but this Mrs. Shen is well maintained.

Finding Ruqing's scrutiny, Mrs. Shen quickly straightened her waist and walked half a step away from the bed, and then smiled: "What is the girl looking at?" ”

Ruqing lowered her eyes, hiding the confusion and deep thought that flashed in her eyes, only revealing two little tiger teeth, yawned and said: "Mother Shen, I want to sleep, there is nothing to do at this time, Mother Shen should also go and rest, there is no need to wait here." ”

Mrs. Shen stepped forward to tuck the quilt for Ruqing again, "That's not good, the girl is resting, and there must be someone waiting for her." Linglong stayed up late last night, I asked her to rest, and I went to let the agarwood guard. ”

Ruqing hurriedly stopped her, "The agarwood disease is not well yet, let her rest for two more days." Then he thought of something, "Agarwood also fell ill to wait for me, so it is reasonable to let her rest well, and then bother Shen's mother to prepare some silver for Chu's mother, and let her make some delicious meals for Agarwood." After a while, he said, "The silver is still in the old place, and Shen's mother will go and get it herself." "After all these years of getting along, Ruqing is very dependent on Mrs. Shen, although this Mrs. Shen looks ordinary, but in fact, she does things, not leaking, and is very powerful.

Mrs. Shen nodded, "It's a blessing for girls to be so considerate." I'll go. ”

After Mrs. Shen left, Ruqing closed her eyes, turned over, and shrunk her body into a ball, in the winter when the cold wind was blowing, the stove was burning in the house, and there were a few warm cowhide hot water bottles in the bed, and there were people around to serve, such a day was indeed good. At least compared to the modern 9-to-5 work, not only do you have to look at the face of your boss, but you also have to please customers, sweat like rain and squeeze the bus with others, rent a one-bedroom room that is not even convenient to take a shower, eat fast food with I don't know how many spices and water and oil---- and the ancient life, although it is a little boring, a little more rules, and a little more hierarchical, but there is no need to worry about survival, and there are subordinates to serve, live a life of clothes to stretch out your hands, and meals to open your mouth, it is really good, so, it is better to be content with the status quo.
