Autumn Pattern lowered her head.

Mama said, "Isn't it?" This girl has a naïve temperament, she lowered her head all the way and didn't speak, I thought she was mute. "This grandmother is humble in Shifu and has been watching the chores. But she is kind to others, and she has an instinctive sympathy for Autumn Pattern. They were all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they were good girls, sold themselves into slavery, and were used as cattle and horses for a lifetime. Mama remembered that when she was young, she was also sold by her gambling father, and she felt even more embarrassed.

The two men still wanted to look at the autumn pattern.

Autumn Pattern took a few steps back, his expression serious.

"I'm not going to talk to you today. I still have to go to the uncle's courtyard to find the lady of the Pan family in the kitchen. This girl was bought by Manager Li and served in the uncle's courtyard. ”

This is what this mama thinks: the autumn pattern is good. Like her, she should be sent to the uncle's study and bedroom to be a girl with a face up close. If you go to the kitchen, you still succumb.

Autumn Pattern continues to follow Mama, step by step.

Sure enough, it's a big family. Before the age of sixteen, where had you ever seen such a good place? Not in dreams. It is this blue brick floor, which is neatly aligned and the same size. Walking on it in embroidered shoes, it is safe and light.

I won't talk about the rest. Flowers and grass, red, red, green and green. Take a closer look, but it's different from the one sold on the market. Delicate. Exquisite.

She didn't dare to come out.

But the man who guarded the door was talking behind him.

One said, "Make a bet with you." The girl went into the kitchen, but she was afraid that life would be difficult. ”

The other said, "Why? ”

"Why? You don't want to know, who is the leader of the kitchen? ”

"You say the lady of the Pan family? It was also a silver-like pewter head, which looked bluffing, but it was actually a rush bale. ”

"The lady of the Pan family is okay to say. I mean her daughter Chun Yan, who is lazy and ugly, but she thinks that her appearance is not bad, she usually walks, and the mirror does not leave her hand, a living treasure, really deadly. She usually either lies down or eats, and she can't send anything to the master. Her mother is the leader, and her uncle is running errands under the second master, with him to support him, who dares to offend? ”

"What do you say these things have to do with that new girl?"

"Why doesn't it matter? That spring goose boasted of her most beautiful appearance, and she wanted to go into the uncle's study on an errand and mix with her aunt and concubine. Everybody knows it's a joke. The last thing she can't see is that others are better looking than her. Anyone who works on an errand in the kitchen, regardless of the girl's daughter-in-law, has to praise and flatter her when he sees her. ”

"I don't want to see the spring geese. She's just in the kitchen. A few girls around the uncle are above the spring geese in terms of appearance. ”

The other one shook his head: "Whether the spring geese have been created or not, we don't know." It's just that this girl, since she looks better than the spring geese, is bound to be there and suffer a lot. ”

The two men guarding the door are ordinary and love to look around, especially the young girl who looks like flowers. Look at it, look at it, but the crooked mind is not moving.

If they are really crooked, they will not be allowed to look at this gatekeeper. The janitor, regardless of whether he is waiting at the corner gate or guarding the main gate, must be serious and serious, plus a pair of keen eyes and agile skills.

Although Li Xiangui is in charge, he is not the chief manager of the Shi Mansion.

The governor of the house has someone else. He had several stewards under his command, and they took care of them everywhere in the mansion. Li Xiangui is in charge of purchasing in the government, buying people and goods.

The recruitment and distribution of gatekeepers is not Li Xiangui's business, but is arranged by the chief manager Yuan Sheng.

Shifu is a big garden. There are many courtyards in the garden. The old lady, the eldest lady, Aunt Sun, Aunt Wen, and several young ladies all have their own residences. The names of the various courtyards are also elegant. Shi Yuquan doesn't know how to learn, but his residence is also called "Zefeng Building".

Only Shi Ximo, the yard is remote and large, and the place is in the northernmost corner of the garden. When the name "Rice Herb House" was engraved with the plaque, the old lady was almost half angry.

The old lady hurried over on crutches, shook her head and sighed: "Are you going to set up a place to be a farmer with peace of mind?" The old lady couldn't figure out what Shi Ximo was doing all day long. In the old lady's opinion, this eldest grandson is extremely smart, but mysterious and eccentric. After the weak crown, he is not keen on his career. Although reading is good, it is not seeking officials. It's better for Yuquan, just throw away the textbooks and concentrate on the career. In the end, not all the officials in this world were admitted, but some were bought by donations.

But in the final analysis, the old lady still takes reading as a serious thing.

Her hope has always been with Shi Ximo and has never changed.

"Your mother lost you early, chanting scriptures and worshipping the Buddha all day and night, and during the year, she only came back after fasting and festivals. As for you, you have followed her example, and I have not been able to see you for most of the year. My good grandson, do you know that grandmother loves you just as much! If you have any three long and two short, it is equivalent to ripping a piece of meat from my heart! ”

Shi Ximo was not brought up by an old lady. It was an old aunt in the old lady's house who took him. At that time, the old lady was sick, so she asked this old aunt to take care of it herself. Shi Ximo grew up to six years old, and his grandmother died of illness. He wept bitterly several times, and put away a few bracelets from his grandmother as a souvenir.

With his mother, Mrs. Yu, and his grandmother, Mrs. Shi, Shi Ximo has feelings, but he is only indifferent. and his father Shi Yuan, that is even more estranged.

Shi Ximo insisted. Rice herb Lu is in Shifu, and it has become a "unique" existence.

According to Shi Yuan's words: "This son is also spending time on this." Let him go. The pattern has emerged, and I want to live like this for a lifetime. Either way. ”

Shi Yuan only hated not accepting a few more aunts and giving birth to a few more sons.

The eldest son is like this, and the second son is not successful. Outsiders looked at Shi Yuan's promotion and knighthood, just like flowers cooking oil in a brocade fire, pouring the sky like wealth, where did anyone know the anxiety and pain in his heart?

The kitchenette is on the west side of the cottage. A few blue brick houses, a few long corridors. Under the eaves are pumpkins, cowpeas, eggplants and other things. Several maids and daughters-in-law were busy moving jars and pickling dried cucumber shoots.

Mrs. Yu is a vegetarian and especially likes to eat pickled side dishes.

Ximo doesn't see her mother, but she knows her preferences. He often ordered people to send these small dishes to the Buddha hall where his mother worshiped the Buddha, but he always used the excuse that he had something to do and did not see them in person.

The Buddha hall where the Jade Lady worships the Buddha is certainly not the Plum Blossom Temple.

She disliked the plum blossom nunnery for being unworthy of its name, unclean, and filthy. The plum blossom is noble, but the plum blossom nunnery hides dirt and dirt, and has been criticized by Buddhists so far.

She has her place to go.

Mrs. Jade is often in Hanshan Temple. This Hanshan Temple is not the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu. The monastery is on the outskirts of the capital, a very quiet and secluded place.

Shi Ximo learned that Hanshan Temple was built by his father, and the materials that should be provided by his father were also added by his father. It seems that the father wants the mother to live in the monastery forever and never return home.

Such a relationship between husband and wife is naturally strange.

When I got to the kitchen, Mama asked Qiu Wenli to stand outside the porch. Whoever sees it, just laugh. She was busy going to the house to find Mrs. Pan alone. Confess, and it's none of her business.

Mrs. Pan is cursing in the kitchen. A clumsy little girl knocked over a plate of tender stewed eggs to the ground. The eggs were prepared for the daughters. The daughter instructed that there should be a few fillets of fish in the eggs.

The heat was taken out steamingly, but I didn't expect this girl to be too hot, and she fell to the ground with a bang, you said it was not angry? The spring goose woke up from a nap, stretched her waist, and came in to eat stewed eggs. As soon as he heard that the egg liquid was spilled on the ground, he didn't say a word, and stepped forward and slapped the girl twice.

"You little hooves with no eyes! Since it fell to the ground, you licked it for me, licked it off and ate it one by one! ”

Chunyan pressed the little girl's neck and ordered her to open her mouth. The little girl was crying, which made the spring goose even more annoyed.

"What are you howling about? I haven't cried yet! A good mood for the day has made you lose! You little hoof, who called you to the kitchen? ”

The spring geese want to find a reason.

With her mother's support and her uncle's support, she is like a young lady in the kitchen.

She held the mirror in one hand, looked left and right, and looked at the girl again for no reason: "Actually, I have a lot of adults." This stew is not uncommon for me to fall. I only ask you, you said that in this small kitchen, there are many young girls and daughters-in-law, just say, who is the most beautiful in it? ”

The little girl kneeling on the ground, although she was wronged, was a sincere person.

She shook her head with a sob, and lowered her throat: "It's Sister-in-law Liu who steamed steamed buns." She's good-looking. ”

What?

Mrs. Pan couldn't sit still. She felt ashamed. There were people in the house eating and laughing.

That sister-in-law Liu was a good person, and she was embarrassed to hear it, so she came over to defend: "You girl, you should be punished." Where I look good, at most it's white. Miss Spring Goose, that's the first-class wonderful person in our small kitchen. With her, we all have the strength to work. ”

Sister-in-law Liu said that she would still knead the dough, and she went on after speaking.

Chun Yan bit her lip, thinking about giving the girl another slap in the face. "You're not only stupid, you're blind. If you call me ugly, I can't spare you. She turned to Mrs. Pan and coquettishly, "Mother, is this girl a child?" Call her father and mother together, and let her go. ”

"She bought it outside. You want her to go, you should. Now that your father is dead, why do you want to go back to your uncle? ”

Mrs. Pan looked at her daughter with a smile, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more she looked like a golden pimple. She obeys her daughter in everything, and she obeys her daughter in everything.

The little girl was still unconvinced: "Sister Chunyan, I didn't say you were ugly." All I say is that you're not as good-looking as anyone else. Everybody says that, but you don't know it. Now I'll be honest, why aren't you upset? ”

This really blew up the spring goose.

She crossed her waist and made a dominatrix description.

"Mother, don't kick her out yet! Obviously I'm so good-looking, but she says I'm ugly, I'm ...... I'm not alive anymore! ”

The little girl covered her face with her hands, and still muttered in her mouth: "The conscience of heaven and earth, Sister Chunyan, I didn't say you were ugly!" ”

Of course, the spring geese are not good-looking. Bucket waist, flatbread face, slightly freckles on the face. can flatter her, Mrs. Pan is happy, she is in the small kitchen, and her work is easy. Say a few good words, why not?

At this moment, the grandmother came in.

"Mrs. Pan, Mr. Li bought a girl from outside and asked me to bring it to the small kitchen, and you will train it."

When Chunyan heard this, she turned her head and asked, "Girl?" What does she look like, but she looks as good as me? ”

Mama was stunned. Because she was not on an errand in the grass house, she was originally a person from the old lady's pulp washing room, and she didn't understand the doorway here, so she honestly told her: "Miss Chunyan, her appearance is much better than you." ”
