Chapter 140: Grapevine



Chunying worked in the evening incense hall for a few days. Life was peaceful.

Mrs. Gu is not in good health, and most of the day is bed to recuperate, and in her spare time, she will talk to her daughter, or chant sutras in front of the Buddha, even if she goes out, she will go to the old lady's yard. The old lady and the wife, the grandmother and the grandmother, came to see her almost every day, and often brought some good things. Some of them are eaten, and Mrs. Gu usually only tastes one or two bites, and then they are all rewarded to the girls, and Chunying also tastes a few delicacies from the mountains and seas. The other clothes, books, medicinal materials, etc., Aunt Qing discussed with Miss Huo, so she only left what could be used, and rewarded the girls with those light gauze and satin, and she only wore muslin clothes.

Aunt Qing bought a few large pieces of coarse cloth from outside, and asked the girls to make cloth bags and prepare them for the temple. Chunying and the others who were transferred from the Hou Mansion all got this errand, except for the little girl who had to do some sprinkling and sweeping every day, and then occasionally passed the word and handed things, so she only needed to do this job.

Chunying is delicious and delicious, and there is no need to water flowers and sweep the floor. In addition to boiling a few pots of tea in the tea room every day, you only need to sew cloth bags with Shi'er, talk about gossip, and live a very leisurely life. When Mrs. Gu and Miss Biao were sent, they sent something elsewhere, and there were always rewards on both sides, and the private money was saved again.

The only drawback is that there is not much freedom of movement. Aunt Qing is in charge of everyone in the hall, and anyone who goes out must get her consent, and generally except for the call to send things elsewhere to spread the word, the girls will not get the opportunity to go out. Chunying tried to go to the old lady's yard twice to find her sister Qiuyu, but she was not allowed. When the others came to visit Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin, she and the other girls were always sent one or two errands, and when the things were done, the people were gone, so although the third young master had come a few times, she didn't even say a word to him. Finally waited for the old lady to come to see her daughter, Qiu Yu followed, and found a chance to find the room, Chunying didn't say a few words to her, Aunt Qing heard the news, saying that she wanted to have a good chat with her nieces and nephews.

Chun Ying secretly guessed in her heart, if she wanted to talk to Qiu Yu, there was an opportunity, but in fact, she was guarding against passing on the news by herself, right? Think about it this way. Chunying felt bored, she was obviously innocent, why should she misunderstand? I no longer try to go out or talk to people, and I just do my own work every day.

After a long time, she felt that although the life of the Wanxiang Pavilion was boring, it was still very leisurely, there was no big girl on top to beat and scold, and the other girls rarely made trouble, took the money, and lived an easy life, such a day was much stronger than in Huanhuaxuan, if she could be more free in action, she would rather not go back to the third young master.

Hearing her say this, Shi'er sneered: "I knew that you lazy girl would definitely fight this idea!" I want to know, we are waiting here for a young lady, what is there to fight? If it is a young lady in the house, she can please more, earn a decent income, and get a good way out in the future, but this relative's young lady. The waiting is just a compliment, and the waiting is not good, and it is just handed back to the wife to eat a board, what should I do in the future. Fighting for leisure in front of relatives, not only will you lose the face of the Hou Mansion, but you will also suffer, why bother? ”

Chunying thought about it, and sure enough, this was the case: "Then I really hope that Miss Biao will stay in the mansion for a long time, so that we can clean up for a few more days." ”

Shi'er glanced at her: "You think beautifully, it's a good thing that you have been living like this for a long time?" I just said, this is a young lady from a relative's family, no matter whether we wait well or not, our future will not be determined. Huanhuaxuan is troublesome again, we are also people who have waited for the little marquis, there is light on the face when he says it, others naturally dare not underestimate it, but he has stayed here for many years, and when the age comes, he is just being assigned by the housekeeper at will, how can there be any decency? If you covet the leisure of the present, you will forget that in the future, you will cry in the future. ”

Chunying was shocked, but quickly calmed down. She will always have to think of leaving her nationality in the future, as long as she waits until Zhou Nian comes back......

She secretly glanced at Shi'er a few times, and was a little uneasy: "That...... So what to do? How long will Miss Cousin stay in the house? When she's gone, let's ...... Where will you be transferred? ”

Shi'er pouted: "Naturally, where you come from, you will go back." However, it would be nice if there were still vacancies in the hospital. If not, we'll just be sitting at home and waiting for the right time, as you did. In case you reach the age and can't go back to the hospital, you have to resign yourself to your fate......" She glanced at Chunying, covered her mouth and smiled: "However, it depends on whether the young lady we are waiting for will really ......leave."

Chunying blinked: "What do you mean?" ”

Shi'er leaned into her ear and whispered: "I also heard what others said, Mrs. seems to be interested in hiring this Miss Table as our third young grandmother, and the old lady and the Hou Ye are also in favor, and now it only depends on the meaning of Mrs. Cousin, because Miss Table is still in filial piety, and the serious marriage should be after the removal of filial piety, but according to people, there are seven or eight points that can be done." You think, if Miss Biao really becomes the third young grandmother, those of us who follow and wait will naturally be decent. ”

The words "Dream of Red Mansions" quickly appeared in Chunying's mind, and she was immediately not optimistic about this marriage, but she didn't show it on her face, she just asked, "Are you sure?" I think...... Miss Cousin may not be willing. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so wary of the Hou Mansion.

Shi'er patted her: "Fool! What's so bad about the third young master? Disciples, foundations, appearances, character, learning, temperament...... It's kiss after kiss again, and I've been watching it coldly these days. Although Miss Biao is indifferent and respectful of rules, she is not strict with the people below, and she is a third young grandmother, isn't she a hundred times stronger than the daughters who don't know the details outside? In the future, we have to live by looking at the face of the master, if we are a mean master, how can we live? ”

"I ...... That's not what it means...... Chun Ying hesitated, but still didn't say what she was thinking. The third young master is not Jia Baoyu, and Miss Biao's temperament is not the same as Lin Daiyu, if it is under normal circumstances. They might be a good match, but now ...... The third young master's parents seem to have intentions for Miss Biao's family property, the third young master's own wishes are unknown, but Miss Cousin's hostility is quite obvious, where can they still be happy?

Shi'er was still there and sighed: "I think this thing may really be possible, haven't you seen the people of Huanhuaxuan come to ask for peace recently?" From that Manru, Rong'er and Xiaoling under the bottom, none of them were left behind, except for Lu'er, who only came once on the first day, and everyone else came several times. Mrs. Gu was not in good health, so they only visited Miss Cousin, and they always said good things. If they didn't want to tie the knots in advance, why did they come so diligently? Even the glass in the old lady's house and the peony in the lady's house are just ordered to come once a day. ”

The gossip spread so fast!

Chunying remembered Manru who had come a few days ago, and frowned: "Manru doesn't seem to have been here since she went back that day?" ”

"That's true, but before you came in, she was back twice a day. I can see that Miss Biao is a little impatient, but it's just that it's not easy to drive people away in the face of the third young master. Deserve! Manru is such a girl, her stomach is bad, I will wait for the third young grandmother to toss her after she enters! ”

Chunying lowered her head and slowly sewed the ties of the cloth bag, but did not speak. She didn't care at all what would happen to Manru, but she originally thought that she had arrived in a peaceful courtyard, but it turned out to be a storm......

There was a commotion in the courtyard, and it seemed that someone was coming again. Chunying was used to this situation, and she didn't even raise her head. Shi'er listened for a while, suddenly dropped the needle and thread in his hand and ran out, and came back after a while, with a person already in his hand, but it was Lu'er who had not been seen for a long time.

Chunying hurriedly got up and said hello: "Sister Lu'er, why are you here?" You may be seated! Lu'er smiled softly, sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the cloth bags they had made, looked at them, and asked them how they lived in the Evening Fragrance Pavilion. Cai said: "It sounds like you're doing well, that's good, and don't worry about it, don't think too much, the third young master won't treat you badly." He turned to Chunying again: "The third young master said that he originally planned to transfer you back, but Manru returned to his wife, saying that the third young master was old, and there were too many Huanhuaxuan girls, so he planned to cut a few." He was afraid that you would be expelled again before you came in, so he found you this place. You do it first, and then you talk about anything else. ”

Chunying's questions in her heart were answered, and she hurriedly answered, and asked the third young master again. Lu'er smiled and didn't answer directly, just pulled the two of them to sit down, glanced out of the door, and then said: "I came today, originally I just had something to say, Miss Report, I came to see you by the way, there is a sentence to say to you, it was specially instructed by the third young master." ”

Chunying and Shi'er saw that she was serious, so they also put away their smiling faces and lowered their hands to listen to the training.

I only heard Lu'er say: "In this evening incense hall, there are girls and women sent from various courtyards, and there are many people, and everyone has their own thoughts. But you are the person in front of the third young master, you need to know who is the master, if someone asks you to do some strange errands, you should know in your heart, don't blindly obey, discuss things with each other, don't act rashly, you know? ”

Chun Ying was secretly surprised, what the third young master meant by this...... Do you tell them not to get involved? It seems that he has no intentions for the Huo family's property. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief and obediently responded.

Shi'er asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu'er, if it is...... Sister Nanqi or Sister Yulan asked us to do things? "These two are second-class girls in the wife's courtyard, Nanqi used to be first-class, and they are above them in terms of identity and qualifications, if they speak seriously, they are not easy to refuse.

Luer smiled, "What's this?" They are not your masters, so do you have no work to do? I really can't do it, so I asked Miss Biao or Aunt Qing what they mean first. If you find that they have any changes, you will want to pass the word to the third young master. She pressed the shoulders of the two of them: "In short, don't lose the face of the third young master." ”

Shi'er glanced outside the door, leaned closer to Lu'er's ear and asked, "Sister, the marriage of the third young master...... Is it really a table lady? There have been so many people who have come to say goodbye these days. When Chun Ying heard this, she also nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that Manru used to come often, but he didn't come much in the past few days." ”

Lu'er smiled faintly: "Manru? Rouge has been naughty with her lately, and she has to quarrel every day. The third young master was annoyed, and told Manru not to enter the upper room for a day if the quarrel was not over. ”

"Rouge?" Chunying almost forgot about this person, "She's still in Huanhuaxuan?" I seem to have vaguely heard someone say that a beautiful woman who was confiscated by the Hou Ye was given out? ”

"That's Rouge her sister." Shi'er said, "It's the one called Osmanthus in the wife's courtyard, and it's a good blessing to be a prisoner!" I don't think Rouge has a taste in my heart, and his temper has been rising for most of the last six months. She smiled secretly: "No wonder, when they first entered the mansion, they were four people, but now they all have a master besides her...... She's not young anymore, maybe she's anxious, what does a saying say? 'The concubine is unknown'? ”

Lu'er gave her a blank look: "Look at what you said?" Is this what a girl's family should say? Let people hear, but joke that I can't teach! ”

Shi'er hid behind Chunying: "It's me who is wrong, I forgot, my sister is the same age as her......"

Lu'er's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and screwed her face: "Little hoof, I told you to talk nonsense!" Chunying stopped her with a smile, and hinted that Shi'er should run quickly, so anxious that Lu'er stomped her feet.

They were playing here, but they didn't see it, and the figure outside the door flashed. Jinxiu quietly retreated to the main house, came to Huo Yi's side, and bent down to report in her ear.

Aunt Qing sat across the round table, looked up and listened for a while, her expression was relieved, and she said with a smile: "Look, but what I said, those two girls were originally their own people." ”

Huo Yi smiled, stared at the account book in his hand, and thoughtfully: "They are duty, but others may not be ......"
