Chapter 20: Greetings
Because of the rules, Xi Jun still got up early in the morning with the fourth master. As soon as the fourth master left, she immediately threw herself back into bed and fell asleep.
Mama Xu pinched the time and called her up again, because she had to go to Fujin to say goodbye.
Xijun was pulled up by a few maids, got dressed, and began to wear jewelry again.
"Don't be too ostentatious, two heads, keep it simple!" Xi Jun looked like she hadn't slept enough, but she understood it in her heart.
Today is the time for Fujin and the other women in the fourth master's house to look at themselves, so it's better to keep a low profile!
"Do as Gege tells you." Mama Xu stood aside approvingly and said, "Gege, Mama Tan mentioned that Fujin is the most important rule. ”
"The main room is naturally based on 'rules'. The main room of every house is based on this 'rule'. Otherwise, how does she manage the back house? But it's hard to say whether the rules are important or not in private. Xi Jun couldn't help but say.
Mama Xu was shocked, and felt that the little master was not wrong in what she said, and said: "No matter what, Gege can't let Fujin take the handle to talk about things." ”
"Of course. Qingqi, do you know the way to the main courtyard? Xi Jun looked at her makeup and said.
The slave asked clearly. Let's go through the garden, and there's a little door. It is said that when you go through that gate, you will go out to the back door of the main courtyard. Qingqi held a few beads and gestured on Xi Jun's head.
"Gege better go a little early, don't step on it, leave a three-point leeway for everything." Mama Xu said.
Xi Jun nodded, and several maids hurriedly sped up the movements in their hands.
When he was to clean up, he saw that Xi Jun was wearing a jade-white cotton cloak embroidered with red plums, and only one or two handfuls of hair were combed on his head, with some pearls and tortoiseshell beads on them, gorgeous but not valuable, and on his ears was a pair of red coral beads in the shape of gourd drops.
When the three of them walked into the back garden, they saw that everything was withering, only some evergreen shrubs and pines and cypresses were green, and all other flowers and plants were withered. The slaughter and tranquility of winter made Xijun shrink her body.
"Gege, the hand stove is for you!" Baoqin handed Xijun a gilded flat-bottomed copper stove.
"In the spring, it's lively. Although it is far away, it is also quiet! Xi Jun took it and said.
The three of them walked to the small door that Qingqi said, and saw that the wooden planks were covered.
"Mother Liu, open the door!" Qingqi stepped forward and reached out and patted the wooden door.
But there was no movement at all.
Qingqi slapped a few more times and shouted several times, but still no one responded.
"Qingqi, are you sure this door is open on weekdays?" Baoqin asked with a frown.
"I went outside early in the morning to ask. They said that there was a mother Liu here who opened and closed the door. It's time now, it should be there! Qingqi said anxiously.
When Xi Jun saw this situation, she had no choice but to say, "It seems that there is no one, so we still have to go around from that side." ”
"Master, if you go back now, I'm afraid it will delay your time to go to the main courtyard to ask for peace." Qingqi Dao.
"Then what should I do, no one is here at this time, but let's wait here and fail!" Hug the piano and said.
"Let's go, let's take a detour. I don't know when I waited. Xi Jun pondered.
The master and servant had to go back the same way, go to the gate over there and go out of the back garden, and then take the avenue in the house to the main courtyard.
At that time, Fu Jin was dressed in an autumn-colored flag suit, wearing a gilded gemstone head all day long, and walked to the hall of the main courtyard with the help of Mama Zhou.
I saw that Li Fangfujin, Su's, Song's, Wang's, Geng's, and Yin's were all inside, but Xijun hadn't arrived yet.
When everyone saw Fu Jin come out, they all stood up, blessed her, and shouted in unison: "Slave and maid please Fu Jin!" ”
"Get up! Sit! The Ulanala clan swept everyone and said lightly.
According to their positions and relationships, everyone sat down on the guest seats on the left and right sides of the Fujin position.
"What's the matter, didn't Niu Colu come?" Ulanara said.
"But no, today is the first time she has asked Fujin to say goodbye, and she dares to be late!" Su Shi straightened up and said, "I really don't know, does she not take Fujin in her eyes!" ”
At this moment, Xi Jun was supported by Qingqi and walked to the door.
Everyone looked at her in unison, and the excitement in everyone's eyes was not a problem.
"The concubine is late, the concubine asks for peace to Fujin!" Xi Jun walked to a place two meters away from the Ulanala clan without squinting, and saluted.
Qingqi and Baoqin behind him also saluted.
"Niu Hulu Gege, be punctual when you ask Fujin for peace." Li Fangfujin said with a smile.
"Let Fujin and the sisters wait for a long time, it's a pity. Xijun can't compensate my sisters and sisters. She knew that she was late and had nothing to say, but it wasn't a big deal, and if she said a soft word, it should be over.
"Well, it didn't take long. Get up and sit down. Ulanala said.
Seeing that Fu Jin did not punish Xi Jun, and thinking of what Li said to him last night, Su Shi felt a little jealous of Xi Jun in his heart.
She raised her head, secretly stared at Xi Jun and looked at it, and said in her heart: She is not as good as me. Will he pamper her?
Xi Jun instinctively felt that someone was looking at her, and when she followed her gaze, she saw Su's eyes with jealousy and unkindness.
"Sister Niu Colu, I just came, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the road in this backyard, I'm a little late today, it's nothing." Ulanara laughed.
"Thank you Fujin for your compassion, and the concubine will remember Fujin's teachings." Xi Jun once again thanked the Ulanala clan.
However, she suddenly felt in her heart why the door of the back garden happened to be closed when she was about to pass by!
But someone deliberately closed it?
Xi Jun sat at the end, and her eyes had already browsed all the "sisters" in the fourth master's back house.
All of them have their own merits, but Fujin looks relatively plain.
Sure enough, it is to marry a wife and a virtuous person, and take a concubine!
Xi Jun suddenly felt another diaphragm in her heart, she was accepted, or because she wanted to rejoice for the eldest brother!
"Sister Niu Colu has just entered the house, I'm afraid she still doesn't understand our rules here. It's better to wait a while, my sister will come to me, and I will tell you some things in our house for Fujin. Li Fangfujin said again.
"Why do you need to call her to you, Niu Colu, you stay later, Ben Fujin will tell you personally." Ulanara said.
"Xie side Fujin, Fujin cares, and the concubine will leave Li and Fujin to teach later." Xi Jun responded.
"Oops, Fujin is eccentric. When the concubine first entered the palace, why didn't she see Fujin leaving the concubine alone to teach. Su Shi jumped out again and said.
"You were originally brought by Li Fang Fujin, where do you need Ben Fujin's teachings?" The Ulanala clan swept over with a cold eye.
Su Shi wanted to say something, but he held back.
"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, let's disperse. Sister Niu Colu stayed. Ulanara said.
