Chapter 589: The Concubine's Ambition (Qin Art)
Ten-year-old Huang Li has excellent appearance, and the reason why she has not been selected is not only because of her good looks.
It's that her old son and mother have all their thoughts, and they want her to follow Meng Rongxiang's path.
From a girl to a room to an aunt who gave birth to a son.
But the little girl herself was unwilling, she felt that she was already serving others, and she would be inferior when she got married, and the children she gave birth to were also inferior, so she was even more unwilling.
Lotus is a successful role model for girls, and her mother keeps talking in her ears.
It's best to be able to go to the old lady's yard to do things.
This time, Aunt Chen's small courtyard asked for manpower, and Huang Li signed up without much thought.
Her mother is actually the grapefruit girl who worked in the big kitchen in Yiyi's mouth before.
Regarding the need for manpower in Shiliu Yard, Huang Liniang muttered in her heart. I don't want my daughter to wade into this troubled water.
After all, a momentary favor doesn't mean anything.
What is needed in the back house is long-term prosperity, or the status will not be shaken.
After all, my daughter is only ten years old now, and it will be many years before she grows up.
Anyway, after finally knowing that her daughter was left by Aunt Chen, Huang Liniang could only pray that Aunt Chen could win more of the uncle's favor.
Zijuan has never been on an errand because she is the only girl in their family, and the family is reluctant to go to work at a young age.
So it's been delayed until now.
This time, I also had the mentality of going through the motions, but I didn't think that I was really left behind.
Speaking of which, Zijuan's second uncle received the grace of the lord and became a good citizen, and her cousin studied in the school.
Her cousin and Huang Li are still quite familiar with each other.
Jiuwu asked Shi Liu to choose her because her mother was the gatekeeper at the second door, and her father was a small buyer, so it was easy to communicate outside.
For Shi Liu, it's just two more people to serve, and she doesn't have to pay her salary, which is good.
So the daily meals were handed over to Huang Li to take care of.
After the sanitation in the small yard is done, as long as they leave someone to watch the yard, Shi Liu doesn't care what they do.
For two days in a row, Shiliu gave Zhang Lingxuan a day in the morning and dusk, and the rest of the time was very free.
And he didn't see Xue Xiuming for three days, and Shi Liu didn't ask anyone to inquire, and his life was quite self-satisfied.
On this day, Shi Liu came back from Zhang Lingxuan, and Zijuan ran over and said, "Aunt Chen, there is a little boy outside who claims to be your brother, saying that he wants to see you. ”
"Brother? Is it the step-ancestor who came? But according to the rules, I'm afraid he won't be able to get in. Shi Liu didn't expect that the younger brother of the Chen family was still alive without running away.
It was a real bonus.
Zijuan said, "Auntie, if you have something to say, I'll go out and help you bring it to him." ”
Shi Liu thanked her for her kindness and said directly: "In this way, you go over and ask him to wait for a while, and I will go to Madame again to see if she can be accommodating and let my mother's brother come in to see me." ”
"Yes." The purple cuckoo should go down and want to go. Shi Liu left her behind and let her follow her into the main house.
took out three taels of silver from the box and put them in a plain purse and handed them to Zijuan: "My brother will come to me only because he is afraid that the family will have a hard time, so you will give him these three taels of silver first." Let him wait a little longer, and if he is not allowed to come in after two quarters of an hour, let him go home first. ”
Shi Liu took Yiyi and Zijuan out of the courtyard gate with their front and back feet, and went in two different directions.
Shi Liu naturally went to find Zhang Lingxuan,
But Zhang Lingxuan, who looks good at talking on weekdays, didn't give her the slightest face,
The rules are rigid, but they are not allowed.
Shi Liu didn't say anything about this, and quit.
On the way back, she was not in a hurry, so she walked slowly and leisurely towards the garden.
However, Yiyi beside her was quite upset and said: "My aunt just wants to see her brother, and Mrs. doesn't even allow her to say anything, it's really ......."
"Well, that's the rule, Madame hasn't done anything wrong. Don't talk about such things in the future, the province will be heard by others to chew the root of the tongue, and something will happen if you have nothing to do. ”
Yi Yi bit his lip unwillingly and responded: "Yes." Listen to your aunt, and don't talk outside in the future. ”
Hehe......
Shi Liu chuckled lightly and patted Yiyi's head with his hand: "Are you talking nonsense in your own one-third of an acre?" ”
"Nothing." Yiyi covered her head and defended.
Shi Liu is not particularly worried about this.
She happily gave Zijuan silver because Zijuan didn't lie.
And since Chen Jizu didn't sneak out in this life, Shi Liu believed that he would naturally not just take three taels of silver from her and leave.
I also have to leave some time for Jiuwu to find out what is going on.
Passing through the garden and seeing that the crape myrtle flowers were blooming just right, Shi Liu asked, "Yiyi, how about we cut a few crape myrtle flowers and go back to the bottle?" ”
Yiyi shook her head: "I'm afraid that the mother-in-law who manages the garden won't be willing." ”
"Isn't this the Xue family's garden? Can a mother-in-law still manage this? ”
Shi Liu just finished speaking, and then he let out a long sigh as if he had come back to his senses: "I understand." Okay. Then we'll just take a look. ”
Walking to a pavilion, Shi Liu saw that there was a guqin inside, but there was no one else except their master and servant.
Ninety-five went to check that Chen Jizu was not around, but there was no one to ask.
Shi Liu walked into the pavilion, sat down at the guqin table, and reached out to gently pluck the guqin twice.
The sound of the piano is very crisp, and it is a good piano.
"Yiyi, who did you say put this?"
"The servant doesn't know."
Shi Liu's hands itched for a while, and he bounced up directly.
A song of spring and white snow is played with a light breeze and a variety of snow and bamboo.
Even Yiyi, who doesn't know anything about music theory, thinks it's very enjoyable to listen to.
After playing the song, Shi Liu sighed lightly and got up to leave.
After the two of them left, two young men turned out from behind the rockery behind the pavilion,
One of them is Xue Xiuming, who didn't appear after Shiliu came,
The other is a classmate who came here from Beijing to study and met.
"Brother Xiuming is really blessed, I can't imagine that there are such music people at home."
"And my brother Liao praised."
……
After walking for a while, Yiyi came back to her senses and said in surprise: "Auntie, I didn't expect you to play the piano so well." This is the best the maid has ever heard, and there is no one who can compare to the aunt's piano skills. ”
"How many people have you heard play the piano again, and you just brag about it. If we let people in the know know, they might laugh at us. ”
"Hmph, I see who dares to laugh. At that time, as long as the aunt makes a move, it will not only be stunned. ”
"You, the more you talk, the more boundless you go. It's rotten in your stomach, don't say it, you know. ”
Yiyi frowned: "Why, what a good thing this is." ”
Seeing her like this, Shi Liu couldn't help but smile and flick her head again: "You just have to do it." ”
