Forty, winter is coming
Chun Ying returned to Huanhuaxuan lightly, only to feel that the courtyard in the sunset was particularly beautiful, and even the fragrance of the osmanthus in front of the window was more fragrant and pleasant than usual. She first ran to find Chen'er, but couldn't find it, so she told Mei Xiang about urging food, thought about it, and told the mother-in-law about all kinds of evil deeds.
Mei Xiang frowned and said, "I know, don't tell anyone about this, go ahead." He also took two pieces of dim sum and stuffed them to Chunying. Of course, Chunying was not interested in talking about right and wrong everywhere, and happily returned to the room with snacks, but saw Chen'er sitting at the bottom of the steps with a straight face, as if she was sulking.
She ran over and nudged: "Chen'er, where did you go?" I waited for you for a long time, but I had no choice but to go to the kitchen by myself. ”
Chen'er woke up from her daze, glanced at her impatiently, and didn't speak.
Chunying was bored, pouted, turned around and left, but was quietly pulled aside by Shi'er and whispered, "She's angry, don't mess with her." Sister Fang Cai Qing'er gave her a meal, and the whole hospital saw it. ”
Chunying blinked: "Why?" ”
Chen'er was confused, and she didn't know where she picked up the third young master's jade pendant, so she wanted to break into the backyard, and she wanted to hand over the things to the third young master in person. Think about it, we are little girls, can we go in casually without being summoned? Of course Sister Qing'er wants to scold, but the scolding is ugly. ”
Chunying knew in her heart, it turned out that Chen'er was so excited to pick up the jade pendant at that time, was this the reason? Anyway, it's dog eats dog, and she won't get involved.
Although she didn't plan to get involved in the dispute between Yahuan, she still found a way to inquire where the eldest young master's courtyard was. It just so happened that the little girl was a sister with a girl ring on the eldest young master's side, and they met every other day, so Chunying found an opportunity and followed her over, although she didn't enter the courtyard of the eldest young master, but she met Xiangyu who happened to come with her again.
For the kitchen, Xiangyu didn't mention it again, but happily said that the eldest young master has done a good job recently on errands, and the Hou Ye greatly praised him, because the eldest and youngest grandmother was not feeling well, and also rewarded a few precious medicinal materials, which is really rare and decent, and a few of their big girls boiled a few times of medicinal food for the eldest and youngest grandmother in the courtyard, and the eldest young grandmother now has a ruddy face, and she sleeps soundly at night. Xiangyu also kindly took Chunying's hand and said, "I don't know much about this errand, but I heard that Uncle Lu helped me a lot." Good girl, we are our own people, and we are going to get closer to each other in the future. ”
Chunying smiled and responded with a smile, a little hesitant in her heart. She wanted to know how the eldest young master would arrange her father and what kind of work would it be? If you go out all the time like the second uncle, it's too hard, but if you say it like this, will it cause the dissatisfaction of the eldest young master? But if she didn't figure things out, she wouldn't be at ease. Looking up at Xiangyu, she hesitated, not daring to ask the other party directly, after all, it was only the second time they met, and it seemed that she couldn't fully trust it.
Xiangyu didn't know what she was thinking at all, she just snickered to herself: "This time we won the lottery, and I don't know why that one is angry!" I heard that someone dropped a few vases last night, what a waste of things! After a pause, she was a little worried: "But I'm afraid you have to be more careful recently, that person can't help our eldest young master, maybe he will be angry with us girls." Sister Chun'er, although you are a person in the courtyard of the third young master, you may not be able to keep the peace - that one is extremely favored in front of the old lady and the Hou Ye, beating and scolding a little girl, no one will take it seriously, you must be vigilant. ”
Chunying's heart sank, and she hurriedly said that she knew, and when she returned to the hospital, she paid extra attention to the situation around her, praying that she would not meet a pervert. Fortunately, she returned to Huanhuaxuan safely.
The weather is getting colder, and at the end of September, the sewing room in the house begins to make new winter clothes for everyone. According to the usual practice, the master's family only makes cotton jackets and velvet robes, but this year, because the second room came back from the north, he brought a lot of fur, and the Hou Mansion made one or two sets of big wool clothes for each of his family members for the first time. The old lady was glad for a moment, and rewarded her with grace, and ordered the sewing room to make a leather jacket for the stewards and the ladies of the first class, and of course, not everyone could use those precious furs.
In addition to the third young master of the main son, only Mei Xianglanxiang got a rat skin jacket, but she was already envious of all the big and small girls, whether it was jealousy or pretending to be calm, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the two exquisite blue satin leather jackets sent by the sewing room, and they had their own ideas.
Chunying is also a little envious. It was the first month of the year when she came through, and the padded jackets at home were old, and she stayed in the house all day long, in addition to not knowing the situation and not daring to go out, and Lu's mother felt sorry for her daughter and did not let go, there was also an important reason, that is, the clothes on her body were not warm enough, and she could only use the hot kang to keep out the cold.
Although the material treatment of this Hou Mansion Yahuan is good, the level is also very clear. The big girl has a leather jacket not to mention, and the second-class girl ring also has a warm new cotton jacket and a thick skirt, but a little girl like Chunying can only get a cotton shoulder and a thicker new jacket, and the lucky ones can get the old cotton jackets that the "sisters" don't want.
Chunying looked at the new clothes assigned to her, which were the same blue silk cotton shoulders as other little girls, it didn't matter in the autumn, when it snowed, there was no kang in the room, but it was going to be cold. She was hesitating, should she send a letter home and ask the old lady to send the old jacket from home?
Before she could find the person who delivered the letter, Qiu Yu had already asked someone to send her old jacket. Chunying touched the padded jackets that Qiu Yu had changed to a smaller size, and her heart was warm.
Shi'er poked his head out: "That's good...... I heard that the sisters in the old lady's courtyard have the best food in the whole house. Look at this material, and this workmanship......" Xia He also stretched his neck from a distance to look at this head, and when he saw Chun Ying looking up, he immediately turned his head to look at the sky.
Chunying snickered, and said to Shi'er: "There are several pieces here, if you want to wear them, just tell me, don't be cold." ”
Shi'er replied with a smile in her eyes: "Then I'll thank you first, but Sister Meixiang has already given me one, and I have two more that I brought at home, as long as I don't go out, this is enough." ”
The two of them checked their winter clothes separately, intending to release them to prevent the weather from suddenly getting cold, but when they heard a commotion in the courtyard outside, Xia He jumped out of bed and ran out, and after a while, he ran back and said, "It's the old lady who is here." ”
The old lady came to visit Jin Gui's grandson. The third young master has not been happy recently, he hasn't eaten well for two days in a row, Mei Xiang was so anxious that he had to order the kitchen to send some bird's nest porridge over, he only drank half a bowl and threw it away, and even his favorite Danqing didn't touch his hands again. The situation was serious, Mei Xiang didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to his wife, and it happened that the old lady's maid was in the upper room, and the news reached the ears of the old man.
The old lady brought a large group of people over, some carrying baskets of snacks, some taking the live rabbit cage of the new filial piety on the village, some carrying the thrush that can sing good songs, or the new works of the world's calligraphy and painting...... There are all kinds of them, and they are the third young master's favorite pastime. When he saw it, he only smiled shyly and whispered to the old lady, "Grandmother...... You don't have to...... It's all the grandson's fault, for a little problem, but the grandmother is so tired of worrying about it......"
"You stupid boy!" The old lady looked kind, "You are my grandmother's heart!" You're sick, how can grandmother not worry about it?! What's wrong with you? Why not eat well? But the people below are not waiting well?! As he spoke, he also shot his sharp gaze at the plum fragrance and orchid fragrance who were standing solemnly on the side. The second daughter hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to argue.
Li You hurriedly said: "It's none of their business, it's just that I'm bored and have no appetite." It's all my fault. ”
"If they serve well, how can you be bored? They must be careless! The old lady decided that it was the girl's fault, and the anger in her eyes became even stronger, "I heard that you value the girl given by the princess very much?" Where is she?! Could it be that you are so sick that she doesn't care?! She glanced into the room, except for Meilan Erxiang, there were only two Manru and Qing'er she had seen, and then looked outside, Rong'er and Lu'er were also common to her, and there were two familiar little girls, but there was no Peugeot girl. Before she came, she was secretly wondering, could it be that the girl seduced her grandson to do something wrong, so she damaged her grandson's body, and now that she saw that she was coming, the girl dared to take it like this, which added a little anger.
Li You's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Rouge is sick...... It was her grandson who made her sad, but the brotherly love was heavier...... Grandmother ......" He stopped talking, looked around worriedly, and came to the old lady's ear and said, "Grandmother, my grandson has a few words to say to you......
The old lady was puzzled, and hurriedly dismissed everyone, before she lowered her voice and asked, "What do you want to tell me?" But...... That big brother of yours has wronged you?! ”
"No, it has nothing to do with Big Brother!" Li You took a deep breath and said with a cry, "I broke my second brother's heart...... Grandmother, if the second brother likes something else, I am the younger brother, without saying a word, I will naturally send people away, but the rouge is given by the eldest sister, and the identity is like that, I have to respect her on weekdays, and I dare not call her more. If I send someone over and investigate it in the palace in the future, won't it hurt the second brother? It's not that I disregard brotherhood...... Grandmother, grandson felt uncomfortable...... "After that, she cried and fell to the old lady.
An unknown light flashed in the old lady's eyes, and her expression immediately became serious.
She gently patted her grandson on the back and said nothing. After a while, Li You stopped crying, raised his head with sobs, and said with a red face: "Grandson is rude......"
"Silly boy, what are you being polite to your grandmother?" The old lady hugged him lovingly and said softly, "Your second brother, although he is not very well-behaved in terms of women, is a child who knows etiquette, didn't you tell him these words clearly?" Or does he not know where the girl came from? Just looking at her good looks, that's why she recklessly spoke? ”
A confused expression appeared on Li You's face: "Is that so?" I thought the second brother knew...... So, did I misunderstand? He was a little apprehensive: "Second brother thinks that I won't even give him an ordinary girl, so I'm angry?" He doesn't know what's on my mind? The young man's face gradually reappeared with joy: "Great...... As long as I make it clear, the second brother won't be annoyed with me! ”
"Of course not!" The old lady smiled and said, "You kid, you are so worried that you refuse to eat because of these little things?" If you are hungry, let your second brother know, doesn't it make him uncomfortable? He is working hard for next year's Spring Festival, and he also finds time to find all kinds of things to make you happy, which shows how much he loves you! Not next time! ”
"Hmm!" Li You unfolded a big smile. When the old lady turned to call for someone and instructed the maids to prepare a restrained meal, he lowered his eyes, and a coldness gradually appeared in his eyes.
(ahem...... Cheeky begging for a pink ticket~~~~ MS has been forgetting about this recently...... )
