Chapter 7 Candidates
Mama Li boiled hot eggs for Jingfu and rolled them on her face, which can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and she can't keep making the swollen old Gao, and she is also worried that she will be disfigured.
"Mama, it's okay, it's just that it's just swollen for a few days and it doesn't affect anything."
Jingfu winked at Mama Li, not daring to touch her facial muscles, it was too painful.
While the two were talking, there was a maid's call outside, Jingfu and Mama Li glanced at each other, got up and went to the outhouse to have a look.
"Is the eldest lady in the house? The slave is a peony, and I'm here to invite the eldest lady. ”
The big girl Peony is the most favored girl in the old lady's house, she can take care of things up and down with a sweet mouth, and she can do things properly and thoughtfully to the old lady, and she has won the trust of the old lady.
"It's Sister Peony, do you know what the old lady commands? Our young lady was slapped in the face by Mama Ma just now, and she is applying a hot compress. ”
"But it's serious? I wasn't there just now, I went to the front to explain the old lady's instructions, but I didn't see it, I listened to it, Mama Ma was too much, she has always been domineering, and she has always beaten us with her hands raised, and you know that I was also beaten by Mama Ma. ”
Peony's eyes widened in surprise at first, then she sighed deeply, and revealed her scars to win approval.
Jingfu Shi Ran walked out, "Sister Peony, how can you take care of it." ”
With a sneering look in his eyes, Peony is a clever person.
Peony smiled lightly and saluted respectfully, "Say hello to the eldest lady, I heard that Mama Ma bullied you, it just so happened that I got an errand and hurried over to take a look, oh my God!" This is also too powerful, just apply it quickly, don't eat hair and avoid mouth. ”
A series of reminders, with sincere concern in the eyes, but a hint of pity and sympathy are implied.
"Thank you, sister, is there anything my grandmother is looking for me? Father is busy in front, is it the new lady who can't wait to use the main house? ”
Jingfu snorted, a little stubborn and willful.
"Hey, it's the old lady who is looking for you to have something to say, and I also asked Mama Ma what the hell is going on, the doctor said that the beating was a little too hard, it seems to be deliberately beaten, and the old lady is a little angry."
Peony also left a line for Jingfu, and we don't have long front and back eyes as subordinates, so it's better to leave some affection.
"Thank you Sister Peony for please, my sister is eighteen this year, my mother said that she wrote your name when she was released last year, but unfortunately my grandmother rejected it. My mother can't help it. ”
Jingfu sighed and said such an irrelevant thing.
It's time for Peony to get married, no matter how big it is, it will be delayed, it is said that she is the big girl in the old lady's house, and she is very dignified, and she is also very embarrassed to be a good citizen and give a dowry, and this style and bearing are also worthy of the daughter of the small door.
Hearing this, Peony raised her eyebrows in surprise and was stunned for a moment, her eyes slowly accumulated crystal tears, she couldn't bear to let it fall, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and took a deep breath to come back to her senses.
"Madame is a good person."
A faint sigh.
"Good people don't live long."
Jingfu raised her head to look at the blue sky and white clouds above her head, and her voice was low with a deep gloom.
"The girl has to take care of herself, and she has to take care of herself for the sake of her wife, this house is full of human sperm, and if one is not good, someone will pinch the handle, but how can I get it."
She looked at the eldest lady who was much shorter than herself, but her bearing was calm and magnificent, her eyes were resolute and slightly cold, but her momentum was enough to make her respectful.
"Peony, the new lady will soon enter the door, it is a girl from my grandmother's mother's house, and she already has a daughter who is a year younger than me, and she still has a ...... in her belly I heard that it was stable.
Peony, what can you do in the future? You are good-looking and thoughtful, but what does the lady hate the most, do you know? ”
Jingfu tilted her head and looked at the peony, smiling at the corner of her eyes.
Peony pinched the handkerchief in her hand, involuntarily became a little nervous, a little embarrassed to be stared at, and lowered her head slightly to make a low eyebrow pleasing appearance.
"It's right to be a human maid and be thoughtful, it will only make the master like to trust, but it depends on who the master is, Mrs. will not like to have a beautiful maid and be thoughtful, so what is the use of Mrs."
Jingfu chuckled, the corners of her mouth hurt a little, and she unconsciously covered the cold compress on her face.
Peony raised her head suddenly, with a look of shock in her eyes, and then realized that she had leaked her emotions, and quickly lowered her head and said nothing.
"Hey! It's a pity, Ruhua's age consumes youth like this, obviously you are qualified to be the wife of the main room, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and the opportunity cannot be missed. ”
Jingfu put down the handkerchief and handed it to Ai Ye, "Lilac come with me." ”
"Yes."
"Miss, I'll help you."
Peony woke up in shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Jingfu walk out respectfully.
"Miss...... The slave maid ...... "Peony was walking on the path of the garden, and at this time it was noon, and there was no one in the yard.
The flowers and plants in the garden are not precious, but Jingfu's yard is full of precious flowers, which were raised by Mrs. back then.
The green bricks under his feet are also a little broken, there are more mottled traces on the wall, and even the red paint of the verandah has fallen off.
"I may be going to Yang's house, my grandmother has always loved me, and she will definitely be reluctant to give up on me, if I can have a grandmother by my side and a caring maid to serve me, my grandmother may be able to rest assured."
Jingfu looked at the road ahead, her eyes slightly cold.
Peony tilted her head and frowned slightly, as if she was a little puzzled, but she raised her eyes again, and her eyes lit up, as if she had found a new direction, and looked at her as if she had found salvation, with eagerness and longing in her eyes.
Jing Fu glanced at her outside, "In return, I will find a way to get back your deed of sale, but it is not easy, it will probably take a little time, I need you to keep an eye on the Du family for me, I think grandmother must also need you to take good care of me." ”
"Slaves and maids can try to persuade ......, but they may not be successful, and they may need to find a suitable opportunity."
"I think the opportunity is right now, the grasshopper in my hand is about to fly, and anyone will be unhappy."
Jingfu narrowed her eyes slightly, and at present, it seems that only the peony is the most suitable for the dark lines on both sides.
"Can the slave's deed of sale really come back?"
This is what Peony is most worried about, and it is also the most unwilling.
"You can try to believe me once, because you have no other way out, do you really think that my father is your last resort? My mother is beautiful and has a family, what happened in the end? ”
Jingfu whispered in her ear, her deep eyes, cold, like flowers blooming on the other side of the Yellow Spring Road, beautiful but with deadly danger, tempting passers-by to stop and watch, and fall into it.
Peony swallowed her saliva, bit her lip and turned white slightly, her eyebrows were lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled gently like a feather fan, revealing the unrest in her heart.
"I promise you, I'll say it."
Peony blurted out when he was about to see the door of the main hall, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but the whole person showed a relieved smile.
"You'll be glad you made the right choice."
