Chapter 270: Lunar New Year (4)

"Really, sister. //..” Xie Pingfan was praised, his eyes widened, and he was very happy.

Xie Lingyun smiled and nodded, affirming that what he had just said was true, and instructed him to go to Master Wu to serve the ordinary in the painting, in order to express his gratitude for Master Wu's teaching.

"Yes!" Into the painting smiled in response.

Xie Pingfan was even happier when he saw this, and he almost forgot to say hello to Xie Lingyun and dragged him into the painting to Master Wu's courtyard.

Xie Lingyun shook her head and smiled, and after watching Xie Pingfan's brisk footsteps, she turned around and discussed with the sixth lady what she wanted to do today. Because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the mansion should be arranged more festively, but it must not lose its elegance, where to add something, where to reduce some unnecessary decorations, all to be carefully arranged. After a brief discussion with the sixth lady, the two of them walked around the inner courtyard, and then watched the people come and go and cleaned again, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Xue Renjie and the men, as in previous years, had lunch in the outer courtyard after finishing the ancestral hall. Therefore, only Xie Lingyun and the Sixth Lady had a lunch with Mrs. Tai.

After the meal, Xie Lingyun sat with Mrs. Tai for a while, and then went to the kitchen in the inner courtyard with Mrs. Six. Cleaning in the morning is still drizzle, and the things in the kitchen are the most important, what dishes to cook, what soup to match, and how to arrange the order when serving, and what dishes to put in front of Mrs. Tai.

"Oops, it's finally done." The sixth lady stood up, stretched her tired body, and arranged for her subordinates to do things without pausing all afternoon, she felt dry and dizzy, and couldn't help complaining, saying that she no longer wanted to take care of these miscellaneous things in the house, and continued to be her idle lady after the New Year.

Xie Lingyun listened to her complaints good-naturedly, and then poured her a cup of tea without hurrying, and said with a smile: "Here you are, aren't you thirsty?" ”

The sixth lady stiffened her waist, looked down at the teacup in front of her slightly, rolled her big eyes, and suddenly approached Xie Lingyun and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, speaking of which, I am still because you are tired, I feel sore all over my body, do you also want to help me rub it?" ”

Xie Lingyun twitched the corners of her mouth, looked at the sky outside, and saw that the hour was not early, and she didn't have time to play poor with her, so she stood up and walked out.

The sixth lady's eyes moved with her movements, and when she saw her walking to the door, she shouted: "Hey, fourth sister-in-law, you are not authentic, why don't you say a word and leave, are you afraid to rub my shoulders." ”

The corners of Xie Lingyun's mouth curled, turned back slightly, and gave her a bright smile, "Our sixth lady is delicate, I don't dare to touch it, so please ask the sixth master to rub it for you." After speaking, she lifted the curtain briskly and walked out, leaving the six ladies who didn't know whether to be ashamed or laughing, and finally only muttered to herself: "I didn't expect her to be gorgeous and have a childlike character, and she would make such a joke with me." Then she shook her head helplessly, smiled, and walked out.

Speaking of Xie Lingyun, it was rare for her to joke, she felt that the fatigue of the day had been relieved because of her innocuous joke, and she hurried back to her yard with a smile on her face.

Aunt Wei and Aunt Liu, who were dressed up, had already arrived, and they were sitting in the house, drinking the tea served by the servant, waiting for Xie Lingyun to go to Mrs. Tai's courtyard together. Seeing Xie Lingyun come in, Aunt Wei reluctantly got up and said goodbye, and stood there like a stump, Aunt Qiao also looked absent-minded, but Aunt Liu stepped forward with a smile, with an obvious flattering smile on her face, enthusiastically holding Xie Lingyun's arm, and saying caring words: "You have been really tired recently, and you are going to lose weight when you look at people, alas, the concubine can't help you, you can only watch from the side, and ask the concubine to say, you might as well let the second lady help you manage this family together, In this way, you can also be a little less tired, and the second lady does not have to be locked in the house all day long to embroider. //..”

Sure enough, it's a mother-daughter connection, this is to teach her Chu Yaoli.

Xie Lingyun glanced at her meaningfully, smiled slightly, but did not blame her for overstepping the words in her heart, but was very emotional, usually looking at Aunt Liu coldly and indifferently to Chu Yao, in fact, she was pretending, I was afraid that others would see her walking too close to Chu Yao, and even Chu Yao would be laughed at by her subordinates as a concubine, and I was afraid that I would not like it.

Xie Lingyun respects Aunt Liu's forbearance in her heart, so she didn't scold her for her transgression, but Wen Yan explained: "Now Chu Yao is still young, and it is the time to love the school girl, so it's not good to interrupt her enthusiasm, and it's not too late to wait for a year or two to slowly hand over her family affairs." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes turned red, she glanced at Xie Lingyun gratefully, and responded with a choked voice, "Hi." He waited for her to come to the chair with a more respectful expression, and personally served a cup of tea.

Aunt Wei pursed her lips and looked at Aunt Liu's eyes full of disdain.

Aunt Qiao seemed to be unaffected by anything, and her expression was still in a trance. As for Aunt Gu and Aunt Yin, they just looked at each other, and then lowered their heads and became invisible people, with a calm face, so that people couldn't see what the two of them were thinking in their hearts now.

Xie Lingyun took in the expressions and movements of several people, and looked at Xue Renjie's concubines, she felt a little helpless. Aunt Qiao is an existence that cannot be ignored, because there is such a son as Brother Zu. Aunt Liu was worried about Chu Yao, and she couldn't slack off, saving Chu Yao from being sad.

Compared with Wei Jingxiang's straightforward and sometimes inaccessible temperament, she is actually most wary of Aunt Yin and Aunt Gu, who occasionally have a different expression, but people can't see through them.

When there was an eerie silence in the house, Mama Qin came in and reminded Xie Lingyun that it was time to lead Aunt Qiao and a few other aunts to Mrs. Tai's courtyard, because the maid from the main courtyard came to spread the word that the third lady and the fifth lady had already taken the concubines in their own room to greet Mrs. Tai.

"Then let's go too." Xie Lingyun stood up, went into the house to dress up a little, and when she came out, Mama Qin personally put on a cloak for her, and then took Aunt Wei to Mrs. Tai.

When I walked to Mrs. Tai, I saw that the people in the third lady and the fifth lady had already arrived, and even Xue Renjie was sitting in front of Mrs. Tai and talking.

Zu Ge'er was also among them, he saw Xie Lingyun and his party walk in, his big eyes flashed left and right, and then he glanced behind Xie Lingyun, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he was troubled by some problem, tilted his head and looked straight at Xie Lingyun with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, and his eyes glanced at Aunt Qiao and Xue Renjie from time to time.

He's looking for the ordinary.

Xie Lingyun noticed his cute expression and almost laughed, knowing in his heart that he had been in the outer courtyard all day, he didn't know that Ping Fan had gone to Master Wu to accompany him for the New Year, but he couldn't ask her because Xue Renjie or Aunt Qiao were present.

Xie Lingyun couldn't help laughing, first led Aunt Wei and others to greet Mrs. Tai, and then gave the third lady and the fifth lady a mutual salute, before deliberately walking to Chu Yao and Zu Ge'er's side and smiling softly at the two of them.

Brother Zu couldn't help but see her walking over, and asked strangely, "Mother, where is the little uncle?" Why didn't he come over? ”

"Your master has left him for the New Year." Xie Lingyun touched his head and said softly.

Brother Zu'er's little face collapsed when he heard this, he couldn't hide his disappointment, he looked sullen, and muttered in a low voice: "I also want to go to celebrate the New Year with my little uncle and master." ” ...
