Chapter 54: Visiting Liu's Family

Zhu Jiu slept late last night, and early morning was the time to sleep well.

There was a lot of noise outside, and then a gust of wind rushed in from outside the house. With a snort, a pair of hands reached into the futon.

Although it is the beginning of spring in February, the climate in Jinzhou is already humid.

In the morning, people's hands can be cold.

This time, Zhu Jiu was so cold that he shivered, shrunk and moved to the bed.

"It's three poles in the morning, why don't you get up quickly." Zhu Qing saw that people were still reluctant to get up, so she simply moved to lift the futon.

Fortunately, Aunt Jin stopped her in time: "Miss Zhuqing can't help it, it's better for the girl to go to the outside room to sit first, and the slave will wait for my girl to get up." ”

"That's it, Jiu'er, you can get up quickly, and I'll take you out of the house to play." Don't you love to read? If you go, I will have someone give you a little. Then he went to the outer room.

Zhu Jiu didn't rest well yesterday, and he only thought about one thing over and over again.

After getting up, people looked unenergetic, and Aunt Jin combed her sideburns. I chose the mahogany hairpin, although the style is simple, but it is better than the color and luster.

"Miss Zhu Qing has to go to Liu's Mansion every year as a guest, although this Master Liu is on an errand in the Zhu family, the Liu family has also risen in recent years. The girl of the Liu family and the girl Zhu Qing have been in contact for many years, and they have a close relationship in private. Aunt Jin said and brought a set of cyan Luo skirts, and then said: "Mrs. Liu's maiden family is the Shao family in Yucheng, although she is a concubine, the Shao family is extraordinary in the end." ”

After Zhu Jiu changed her clothes, Aunt Jin took a small brocade box and stuffed it into her hand: "Mrs. Liu doesn't like red makeup or silk, but she loves fragrance." It was also a few years ago that the fragrance was liked by the concubine, and this led to a way out for her eldest son. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jiu smiled and shook Aunt Jin's hands: "Relying on my aunt can be regarded as my way out." ”

"First there is the good of the girl, and then the good of the slave." The brocade box that Aunt Jin took out contained the gold she had received before the Zhutang Temple.

This incense was originally paid tribute by foreign countries, and the concubine was sent to the Zhu family to honor her ancestors.

But after all, the ancestor was old and didn't like incense, so he rewarded it.

This thing can't reward the ladies of the courtyards, after all, it is unevenly divided, so I simply rewarded the aunt who stood out in the door. The total is only two, and one is no bigger than a fingernail. The incense is the best, and a little bit of it can leave a fragrance on people's bodies for more than half a month.

At this time, Zhu Qing's urging voice came from outside: "Jiu'er, you should hurry up, I also made an appointment with Qing'er for breakfast!" ”

"Here we are." Zhu Jiu took the things and hurriedly walked out.

It doesn't matter if it's in the previous life, it's not in this life.

When she was in the boudoir, she never stepped out of the Zhu family.

No matter how poor the other girls in the door are, they can go to her aunt's house and walk around, but her aunt doesn't have a maiden house. Without the mother's family to move around, it is difficult to get ahead of the family.

The Shao family failed to let her admit her marriage, but mentioned the marriage first.

But it's one thing to get married, and it's another thing to recognize one's relatives. If she really wants to marry the Shao family in the future, it would be a good choice if she could recognize the Shao family as her maternal relative.

Zhu Qing saw Zhu Jiu come out, and the people next to him didn't say much, pulling people out quickly.

Along the way, Zhu Qing talked about Liu Qing, a girl born in the same year and month as her.

Not long after Mr. Liu was on an errand in the Zhu family, Mrs. Liu also stayed in the North Courtyard, and she was also pregnant with her mother, so they had a relationship.

It is not far from Zhu's house to Liu's house, and it is less than half an hour away by carriage.

When he arrived at Liu's house, as soon as the carriage stopped, Zhu Qing hurriedly pulled Zhu Jiu out of the carriage.

Liu Qing waited at the door early with someone, the two of them are fourteen years old this year, they have seen each other a lot in the past few years, and they have seen less as they get older.

"Qing'er, you can slow down. If you fall carefully, you want to ask me to compensate you for something, but I don't have to pay for it. Seeing that people were so anxious, Liu Qing puffed out his cheeks and reminded that his palm-sized face was both white and a little round.

As he spoke, a pair of big eyes looked at Zhu Jiu curiously: "Hey, who is this?" ”

"My sister, Zhu Jiu." Zhu Qing was also hungry, so she had to come to Liu's house to eat.

Along the way, Mrs. Liu's good craftsmanship was also mentioned, and she was thinking about this.

As he spoke, he had already entered the courtyard, and Mrs. Liu was also waiting. Seeing Zhu Qing, he was kind, so he didn't rush to ask the length, so he let people sit down and eat first.

"Jiu'er has seen Mrs. Liu." Zhu Jiu gave Mrs. Liu a slight salute.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, don't be polite, just sit down and eat!" must have been tossed by Qing'er's girl, and the breakfast didn't take care of. ”

Zhu Jiu Waner smiled and sat down.

After breakfast, Mrs. Liu and Zhu Qing said some common words, how could Zhu Qing sit still. Before he was halfway through the words, he was going to take Zhu Jiu to the courtyard where Liu Qing lived, and Zhu Jiu couldn't help but go with him.

"Madam, that's Miss Zhujiu. The old slave looked at the people and the water, and after two years, he was even more out of luck, and he was also a pleasing girl. The mother who was waiting beside her said this.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "I went to Zhu's house two days ago, but I know that this girl is very troublesome. She came here today, and she also put her mind on it. ”

The fragrance on the girl's body is not smelled by ordinary people, but she knows it.

"Qing'er, you can give me all your books Jiu'er. She's a nerd, your father is very angry in the school on weekdays, this time Jiu'er tried to win the first prize, and he gave away three books. Zhu Qing was dissatisfied with this, so when she came today, she had to move Liu Qing's books back to Zhu's house, and she didn't read them on weekdays anyway.

When Liu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Jiu in surprise: "Sister Jiu'er is really powerful, so, isn't Zhu Shu angry and has lost her appetite for a few days?" ”

"Isn't it!" Zhu Qing was especially happy to mention this.

Looking at the two and a half old girls talking, Zhu Jiu did not talk, after all, he lived a lifetime and his mind was no longer young.

Just as she was feeling bored, a mother came outside and said that Mrs. Liu had called her to talk.

Zhu Jiu nodded slightly, and followed his mother to Mrs. Liu's yard.

Mrs. Liu saw her coming, waved her hand and said, "Girl, sit down." ”

"Madame, but you have something to do with me?" Zhu Jiu's eyebrows were bright, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

I sat down and didn't say anything for a while.

Mrs. Liu was still thinking about why Miss Zhujiu didn't stay to talk to her after breakfast since she brought incense.

Thinking about it carefully, although Miss Zhu Jiu is a concubine, she is a girl from the Zhu family.

In contrast, she, Mrs. Liu, is also from a concubine, so people naturally will not take the initiative to climb up. I don't know if it's the little girl's thoughts, or the instructions of others.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu straightened her face and looked at Zhu Jiu: "The incense on the girl's body is excellent, I don't know where this incense comes from?" ”

"Incense?" When Zhu Jiu heard this, he seemed to remember. Hurriedly took out a small brocade box from the purse, stood up and took it, "Aunt learned that Jiu'er followed Sister Qing to visit Liu's mansion, so she told her to bring this brocade box to Madame." I don't know what Madame said about incense, but this? ”
