Chapter 28, the Tong family
"Miss, do you really want to use the ointment given by Miss Seven?"
Looking at Tong Jiaqi, who had washed her face and sat in front of the dresser, lifted her bangs, exposed her forehead, and was about to apply the ointment in the mirror, as the most capable big girl in the third lady's room, she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, of course you have to use it, she said that this ointment can remove scars, why don't I use it?" Tong Jiaqi lifted her eyelids and looked at Tao'er.
Who doesn't use who is stupid!
She quietly added in her heart.
Tao'er still hesitated: "But...... But what if you use a bad face? "Then you can't be disfigured directly, huh? Will the third lady who loves beauty be able to stand it then? With the third lady's explosive temper, she has to blow up the house.
Then she, as the third lady's personal maid, must have no good fruit to eat.
And according to the eldest lady's temperament of treating women as her life, when the time comes, she will be punished for the crime of not reporting her knowledge, and her life will be over.
Tao'er felt terrible when she thought about it, and quickly reached out to stop Tong Jiaqi.
"Miss, why don't we say hello to our wife?"
"Tell my mother?" Tong Jiaqi looked at Tao'er from the bronze mirror.
"Hmm." Tao'er nodded heavily, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her eyes lit up, "Why don't we tell our wife to ask a doctor to confirm if there is a problem with this ointment?" ”
If she shows it to the doctor and confirms that there is a problem with the ointment given by Miss Seven, then her move is to strangle the possible disaster in the cradle, at least she can prove in front of the eldest lady that she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a maid.
But if it is confirmed that the ointment given by Miss Seven is fine, then she is also concerned and has no fault.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her proposal was very reliable, and she couldn't help but secretly admire her wit.
"Miss, why don't we go to Mrs. now?" Peach's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
"Now?" Tong Jiaqi looked at her with a strange expression, "Don't you know that my mother went out early in the morning?" Also, why are you excited? ”
Tong Jiaqi frowned and looked at Tao'er with disgust.
"Ahem."
Momo hurriedly cleared her throat in embarrassment.
It seems that I accidentally got too excited.
"Then let's wait until my wife comes back."
Tong Jiaqi put down her hand and turned around, staring and thinking: "You have some truth in what you said, it is indispensable to guard against people, not to mention that my injury was originally caused by Tong Jiayan, it is difficult to guarantee that she did not deliberately harm me because she hated herself for being punished to go to another village." ”
Yes, yes, that's what it means.
Peach's face was beaming.
In the next second, I heard Tong Jiaqi say again: "So you hurry up and take this thing out now, and quietly find a doctor in a medical hall to take a look and see if there is a problem." ”
Tao'er pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "Slave go?" ”
"Why don't you let me go?" Tong Jiaqi looked at Tao'er with an expression that you really dare to think.
Peach: "......" didn't dare to think about it.
Tong Jiaqi closed the lid of the ointment, stuffed it directly into Tao'er's hand, and urged her: "Go and come back quickly, remember not to tell anyone!" "She's going to secretly recover, and then she's going to make a splash in front of everyone.
Hahaha, it's exciting to think about!
……
Tong Jiayan's first day home was spent in peace and waves.
In the evening, after the old lady Tong came back, everyone in the Tong family went to Songhe Courtyard to say goodnight.
The Tong family has big rules, and the children and grandchildren of the family need to go to say hello to the second elder of the Tong family sooner or later. Most of the time, after asking for peace, Mrs. Tong or Mrs. Tong will open her mouth and leave everyone to eat in Songhe Courtyard.
Tong Jiayan rested for half an hour, read a book in the room for a while, and when it was almost time, he changed his clothes and set off for Songhe Courtyard.
When she was about to arrive at the gate of Songhe Courtyard, she met Tong Jiaxin who came from the other end.
"Seventh Sister!"
The crisp voice that belonged to the girl sounded far away, Tong Jiaxin saw her first, and then immediately threw away the maid coral who followed behind her, and ran towards her excitedly.
Coral had no choice but to run after her.
Tong Jiayan stood still.
As soon as Tong Jiaxin ran in front of her, she opened her hands to hold her arms as before, her eyes showed a very obvious joy, and she leaned on her affectionately and said: "I heard that my aunt said that you are back, I just told Coral that I would go to find the seventh sister after asking my grandmother to say goodbye, but I didn't expect to meet you at the door!" ”
The coral who caught up was stunned when he heard this, and after being swept by Tong Jiaxin's eyes, he hurriedly nodded.
Tong Jiayan glanced at the arm she was holding, turned her body slightly, pulled her arm out of Tong Jiaxin's arms without a trace, and said with a slight smile: "Then let's go in together." ”
Tong Jiaxin was stunned.
She looked at the empty arms with some surprise, she still maintained the posture of holding her arms just now, and looked up at the back of Tong Jiayan, who had already raised her feet to enter the Songhe Courtyard one step ahead of her, and was a little relieved for a while.
Tong Jiayan took two steps, stopped, turned around and looked at Tong Jiaxin, who was standing at the door, with a smile: "Isn't the eighth sister coming in?" ”
Coral leaned over to her and whispered a reminder: "Miss, Miss, this is at the gate of the old lady's courtyard." ”
Tong Jiaxin came back to her senses at this time, her stunned and stiff expression was instantly put away, and she immediately changed to her previous innocent and lively appearance.
"It's coming, Seventh Sister is waiting for me!" She trotted after her skirt and chased after it, without a trace of embarrassment.
When a maid saw the two of them coming, she led them to the warm pavilion next to them.
"The old lady and the two ladies are talking in the house, and several young masters and young ladies have already arrived, and they are all in the warm pavilion." The maid in the old lady's room, the red warbler, led the way and said.
"Is the third sister also in there?" Tong Jiaxin suddenly grabbed Tong Jiayan's hand in fear, and looked timidly into the warm pavilion with her eyes.
Hongying glanced at Tong Jiaqi, then nodded with a smile and said, "The third lady is also here." ”
Tong Jiayan smiled at her and said, "Thank you Sister Hongying for leading the way, you can take care of yourself, we can just go in by ourselves." ”
The red warbler curtsied and withdrew.
When I walked to the door of the warm pavilion, I happened to hear the voice of Tong Jiayao, the second lady of the Tong family, inside: "Third sister, why don't you see Tao'er beside you today?" ”
"I asked her to run an errand for me, what? Second sister, too? ”
Tong Jiayao is from the second room, she is the eldest daughter of the Tong family, except for Tong Jiaqi, she is the most faceful in front of Mrs. Tong, Tong Jiaqi inevitably has the emotion of competing for favor in her heart, so she has not dealt with her much.
In particular, Tong Jiayao also likes to put on the eldest sister's style, and often asks this and that.
"Second sister, this is the way you talk to the elders in the family?" Tong Jiayao said with a frown.
"Elders? Where are the elders? How I didn't see it. Tong Jiaqi pretended to look around, and asked her sister Sixth Miss Tong Jiajing in a matter-of-fact manner, "Sister Liu, have you seen it?" ”
