Chapter 008: Sisters
The view from the garden is really good, and after walking around, I found that the place where she lives is really not far from the garden, only a small courtyard in the middle, and I walked directly and slowly, but it took a quarter of an hour.
"This garden is indeed good, Agate, you go to the yard and call for tourmaline and Qingfei, and bring some snacks and a pot of hot tea."
Onyx looked up at the pavilion not far in front of her and nodded immediately, and after she left, Hongwen immediately smiled and said, "I can be regarded as being able to get along alone with my cousin." ”
As soon as Hongwen's words fell, Lin Wanying glared at her.
"My aunt agreed that you would come to me and let me look at you, if it weren't for my aunt's stubborn temperament and refusing to listen to my aunt's words and run away together, how could you fall into the situation of being a maidservant."
Although Lin Wanying's words were harsh, the doting in her words was obvious, and Hongwen's eyes turned red when she thought of her mother.
"I came over to serve my cousin willingly, my cousin will have a baby sooner or later, and in two years, when I'm older, I can also show my cousin the child."
Hongwen stopped talking after speaking, she had always looked heartless before, but she didn't hide it in front of her cousin.
Their cousins had met in the temple a year ago, and if it weren't for the fact that Hongwen didn't look like her mother and aunt, Lin Wanying wouldn't dare to let her serve by her side.
"Now that you are young, I will mention you in a few years, and when you are older, I will let you go out to marry, my aunt and aunt are now reconciled, with us, your mother and daughter will not have to serve people in the future."
After Lin Wanying finished speaking, Hongwen wanted to say something, but in the end she nodded obediently.
Her mother told her to listen to her cousin.
No fourth person in the house knows the relationship between the cousins, and Lin Wanying's aunt, Hongwen's mother, works in the kitchen, and because of her disfigurement, she didn't come out to see people in the past.
"Today, I see that Hu Feifei is wrong, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and there will be a banquet in the house, you can send a message to your aunt in the evening, let her keep an eye on it for the next two days, I think something may happen."
In addition to doing hands and feet on clothes, the most common thing in the house is to use hands and feet in food.
And most people will choose when there are many people, because only when there are more people can they have the opportunity to get out of the way.
After saying a few important words, the two never mentioned their relationship again, and Hongwen also said 'Mrs.', still smiling, like this, who can know her relationship with Lin Wanying.
After a detour, the pavilion is not far from the left turn in front, and the right turn is a rockery, Lin Wanying does not want to go to the rockery, but just a few steps closer to hear the sound from the rockery.
and Hongwen glanced at each other, and the two of them immediately slowed down and slowly leaned over.
Syllable! Syllable!
The sound of the whip on a person is not good, and it is even more terrifying if it is a girl who has just been six years old.
"You're all sluts, you're all sluts!"
Hearing this voice, Hongwen was about to scream in fright, Lin Wanying immediately reached out to cover her mouth, and the two quietly looked up, only to see Zhao Xuan's eldest daughter Zhao Jinting waving the small leather whip in her hand and pumping it on a little maid in front of her.
Although Lin Wanying knew that the six-year-old child would not have too much strength, there were barbs on the leather whip, and there was also a lot of blood on the handmaiden's body, which showed that the wound was not small.
Hongwen wanted to watch it again, but Lin Wanying covered her mouth and pulled her away.
After walking a long way, Lin Wanying let go of Hongwen.
"Earlier, my mother asked me to stay away from the big girl, and I asked why, but my mother didn't say anything, but repeatedly told me not to go to the big girl's yard to do things."
Hongwen has a simpler temperament, although her father is unknown, but her mother has been keeping an eye on her, if she hadn't sold herself into the Three Princes' Mansion later, her mother would have taught her like a lady.
"Auntie is naturally intelligent."
If you are not smart, how can you escape from the teaching workshop after becoming pregnant and raise Hongwen alone.
However, Lin Wanying also knew her aunt's regrets, if she had taken away her sister by being tougher, with her being Prime Minister Lin's aunt, her sister would also be able to marry a good person and be a good lady.
From a distance, Lin Wanying saw Agate and Tourmaline coming with Qingfei, and hurriedly led Hongwen to leave quickly, "Don't show it, this matter won't be hidden for long, but we can't tell it." ”
As soon as Lin Wanying said, Hongwen naturally nodded immediately.
Although Onyx didn't understand why Lin Wanying didn't want to stay in the pavilion he had chosen before and wanted to go to the other side, he still led the others to the other side of the garden after Lin Wanying.
And in the evening, Hongwen left Lin Wanying's yard and went to the room behind the big kitchen, and saw her mother, who was five points like Lin Wanying, and after talking about today's incident, her mother also told her a big event.
Mo Han and her sister Mo Lian's faces are seven points alike, but she was young and ignorant at the beginning, and she lived up to her sister's kindness, and it was not until she endured hardships later that she understood her sister's helplessness.
Two months ago, after confirming that Sister Ying'er of her sister's family was going to enter the Three Princes' Mansion, Mo Han slowly began to inquire about the news in the mansion with silver.
Now that her daughter is serving in her niece's yard, she has dignity, and every time she goes out of the house, her sister has to send her silver, and she now has more channels to inquire about the news.
"Mother, is this news confirmed?"
Hongwen is still young, and after listening to her mother's words, her first reaction was whether this thing was fake.
Mo Han didn't expect that the daughter he gave birth to would be so simple, and he wanted to teach his daughter, but he didn't know how to speak.
"I guess it's eight. Nine is not far from ten, how long has your cousin just entered the house, and he has the favor of his master, it is not surprising that he is remembered. ”
"What then?"
Hongwen immediately became anxious when she heard that her cousin Lin Wanying was worried, and she was glared at by Mo Han as soon as she opened her mouth, "You are quieter, for fear that others will not know about our relationship with your cousin?" ”
Hongwen was glared at by her mother, and she also knew that she had done wrong, so she looked at her mother flatteringly, waiting for her mother to speak.
What is the daughter she raised Mo Han didn't know, seeing her daughter like this, she could only sigh and hope that she would not look like the daughter of the Mo family, and live an ordinary life.
"You will go back to see your cousin later, find an opportunity to tell her about this, see what she means, and find a chance to come to my mother's place tomorrow and tell my mother."
If it weren't for the inconvenience of her face appearing in front of her niece, this matter would not have made her daughter speak.
Although Hongwen is not as smart as Lin Wanying, she can still do a good job in this errand of communication.
After getting half a catty of brown sugar from her mother and four kinds of snacks, Hongwen strode back to Lin Wanying's yard.
Tourmaline saw Hongwen coming back with a food box from a distance, and joked with a smile: "In the end, it is convenient for my mother to be in the kitchen, and I can bring food back every time I go back." ”
"Hehe, my mother knows that I am greedy, but the dim sum I brought back this time also has my sisters' favorite food."
Hongwen went back to the kitchen, and on the bright side, it was naturally Lin Wanying who asked her mother to buy some brown sugar and come back.
handed the food box to Tourmaline, and Hongwen carried half a catty of brown sugar into the house to reply.
"Madam, the slave's mother said that it was hot, and it was not good to buy more brown sugar at one time, so I would buy half a catty every month in the future."
"Well, that's good."
Lin Wanying motioned for Onyx to get the brown sugar and put it away, her menstrual affairs were approaching, she didn't drink brown sugar water every month, and she was in pain for the first two days.
When only Lin Wanying and Hongwen were left in the room, Hongwen whispered: "Mother said that Xiuqing in the courtyard of Concubine Hu went to the big kitchen to find a little maid, my mother overheard that there was an accident at the little girl's house, and there was a shortage of silver, so Concubine Hu asked her to serve by her cousin's side on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and took the opportunity to make a mistake so that her cousin bumped into or pressed on Mrs. You's body." ”
Lin Wanying's originally lazy eyes immediately became sharp after hearing Hongwen's words back, although it was only a flash, but she was still seen by Hongwen.
"You take two silver plum blossoms to the big kitchen tomorrow, and say that I will let you give your mother's reward, and tell my aunt that she should not interfere in this matter, I have my own opinion."
Hongwen listened to Lin Wanying's words and wanted to say something, but in the end she nodded obediently, "I listen to my cousin." ”
The two of them said a few words, Agate and Tourmaline also came back, seeing them, Lin Wanying immediately said: "Agate, go to me and get two silver plum blossoms, let Hongwen give them to her mother tomorrow, and what we want to buy in the yard in the future, let Hongwen Niang help." ”
Lin Wanying's words touched the hearts of several people.
They are all women, there are so many days every month, brown sugar is a precious thing, they have a lot of monthly cases, it's not that they can't afford to eat, it's just that it's inconvenient for them to go out, and there is a mother-in-law who works in the big kitchen to help, which is indeed a lot more convenient.
Hongwen took two silver plum blossoms, and her big eyes narrowed when she smiled, "Mrs. Xie's reward, the slave maid said that the big kitchen is already busy making zongzi, I don't know what stuffing Mrs. likes to eat?" ”
When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, even tourmaline and agate are also looking forward to it.
Every year there are dragon boat races outside the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing, and in previous years, the lord also took his daughters out of the door, according to the strength of their wife's favor this year, they will definitely be able to go out, but I don't know which of them will be taken out by the time.
However, a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the most concerned thing was the door-to-door visit of the female relatives in the house.
Lin Wanjing's maiden family, Lin Mansion, naturally no one came to the door, not to mention that Lin Wanjing is the concubine is convenient for seeing her mother's family, that is, when Lin Wanying entered the mansion, Lin Wu's family also came in person.
"The side concubine's mother's family sent six boxes in, and the ladies in the house were all courteous, and Mrs. You's mother's family also sent two boxes in, but it looks like the gift sent to our yard is not thick."
After Tourmaline finished speaking, he sent the gift list in his hand to Lin Wanying, Lin Wanying took it, looked at the things sent by the Hu family and the You family, and asked, "What did the master send there?" ”
Dragon Boat Festival, presumably Zhao Xuan will definitely not forget her.
"The master gave two horses for the master to make summer clothes, as well as two sets of pearl jewelry, and some jewelry for appreciation."
Tourmaline has been with Lin Wanying for so long, and she also knows that the things in the lady's house in front of her are all given by the master.
