Volume 2 Childe Chapter 51 Phantom of the Night

Chunying changed her position, which caused a lot of shock in Huanhuaxuan.

Among the little girls, some people have been in the house for three or four years, and they are still sweeping the floor and wiping the corridors. Some people also secretly say that she is just a hand in the small kitchen, washing vegetables and dishes, who can't do it? Manru is a second-class girl, and she is also decent in the third young master's house, no one can compare with her, but Chunying counts?

Chunying was quite depressed when she heard these gossips. Although she is just working as a helper in the small kitchen, without her idea, can Aunt Li conjure up so many tricks? What's more, she is still a little girl, she has not been promoted or raised, but she has changed her position, and if you want to say that the hard work and dirtiness are not much better than the original, those girls are jealous?

Shi'er saw her pouting, so she smiled and said, "What do you care about others?" Do a good job, let them know what you are capable of, and see if they still don't gossip about you! Xia He also nodded beside him, and then raised his oily hand: "This red bean almond cake is so delicious, is there anything else?" ”

Chunying was originally moved, but she was suddenly embarrassed when she heard the words, so she had to answer: "No...... Originally, it was a trial to make, if you think it is delicious, when you make it for the third young master next time, you can leave a little more for you. ”

Xia He jumped up happily, Shi'er. glared at her funny, and then said to Chunying: "Don't get used to her, she eats and drinks well every day, and there are extra fresh pastries, how can you make others not blush?" If there is anything left, you should give some to others, so that you can keep their mouths shut. ”

Chunying comprehended, and every time she made a snack, she would. deliberately left three or five, and there will be two bowls left after cooking the soup, so that other little girls can also taste it, and within two days, there will be a lot less gossip, at least everyone thinks that Chunying is quite good at being a person.

But to consolidate yourself in the kitchenette. status, Chunying still tried her best to help Aunt Li make all kinds of new dishes, and at the same time did her best to steal from Aunt Li. Aunt Li cooperated happily with her, on the one hand, she taught her many home-cooked recipes, on the other hand, she also enriched her own recipes, and at the same time, she was appreciated by her boss, the third young master.

Originally, the third young master was used to drinking a bowl of Jianlian red date soup after getting up in the morning. Eat a few small snacks, and it's breakfast. But now the weather is cold in winter, and he often has not yet reached lunch time, his hands begin to tremble, his body is also cold, he is very uncomfortable writing and painting, he can only eat some hot tea and snacks to warm his body, but when it comes to lunch, he has no appetite.

After Chunying heard about this situation, she discussed it with Aunt Li. Cook a pot of japonica rice porridge, and then add red dates, lotus seeds, longan, chestnuts and other things into it, boil it thinly, and present it to the third young master together with the noodles. After eating such a breakfast, the third young master really stopped shivering, so he ordered the small kitchen to continue making this porridge.

Because she was worried that the third young master would get tired of eating, Chun Ying proposed it in the porridge again. It is recommended to add other ingredients, or cook a soup that nourishes the body, and mix it into porridge to boil together. So Aunt Li took out ginseng porridge and poria porridge, Chunying offered chicken soup porridge and ham and winter bamboo shoot porridge, eight or nine kinds of tricks came in turn, lunch and supper are rarely the same, the third young master Li You loves light porridge very much, but he is not very interested in the porridge made by Chunying, Chunying had to take it back and share it with the little sisters, and make a light porridge for him.

Li You eats every day. Satisfied, his appetite was great, and his face became more and more ruddy. The old lady and his wife naturally noticed the changes in him, and during this time, he honored some soup and dim sum from time to time, which the two female elders had tasted, but they didn't eat it every day, so the effect was not as obvious as his. Knowing that it was the small kitchen's work, they were very satisfied, and they specially rewarded a lot of things, even Manru, who had recently been marginalized in the small kitchen, did not pull down, and at the same time explained that the big kitchen had to send fresh materials to Huanhuaxuan every day, and Huanhuaxuan would give them if they wanted it, and they were not allowed to slack off.

Aunt Li was full of pride, and his wife personally mentioned her monthly money, and the girls were more respectful to her, and she felt that her waist was much straighter. And Chunying was also overjoyed to learn that her monthly silver had risen to five yuan, and there was another reward, so she felt that although it was very hard to get up early every day to smear, it was of course a good thing to be able to make a lot of money, so she received the reward happily and went back to her room.

The bounty was quite generous, including a pair of plum-shaped gold earrings, somewhat resembling modern studs, commonly known as "lilacs"; A pair of silver five things, the workmanship is very good; Two purses, embroidered in general, but each with two silver bills, counted as two taels; Two pieces of good silk and satin material, one is silver-red, the other is ivory white, and there is a faint bamboo leaf pattern on it.

Chunying recognized the white material, Mother Lu has a piece of such underwear, which is the most precious on weekdays, but I heard that it was only worn once on the day of the wedding, and it has been stored at the bottom of the box, which is a little yellowed, and she is reluctant to wear it. I didn't expect her to get a piece today, and she could make a shirt and skirt because of the size. Chunying thought about it, and planned to put it away and honor her mother when she went home.

Looking up and seeing Shi'er and Xia He staring at the two pieces of clothing with some envy, Chunying was a little troubled. These days, thanks to the support and encouragement of the two little girls, she has been able to go smoothly, but she has a plan for the clothes...... With a roll of her eyes, she had an idea.

The pair of silver tribunes, including tweezers, ear digging, toothpicks, tongue scrapers, and a small knife, were all connected by silver chains, and had a belt that could be worn over the belt. Chun Ying took out this pair of silver five things, pulled Shi'er and Xia He, and asked them to choose any of them. Shi'er and Xia He were very surprised, the silver five things were not for them, but the workmanship of this pair was exquisite, not looking for common, and what was even more rare was Chunying's mind. So Shi'er picked the ear and dug it, Xia He picked the knife, and Chunying took the remaining three things, and they were all happy.

After dinner, Chunying finished her kitchen work and went back to her room. The three little girls closed the doors and windows tightly, leaving only a crack in the back window, lit a brazier in the house, and the three of them huddled into Shi'er's bed, and took out their own collection for each other's admiration.

Shi'er envied Chunying's hairpin from Qiuyu, Chunying became interested in Xia He's pair of silver rabbit earrings, Xia He's eyes were tightly pressed on Shi'er's gilded agate bracelet, and the three of them took turns to take the things they liked in their hands and enjoyed it for a while before returning it to the original owner, and then they told the origin of those jewelry in detail and shared each other's experiences.

The oil lamp went out, and the brazier gradually dissipated its heat, but the three of them were still sitting around the bed, draped in a quilt, reluctant to go back to their bed to sleep. Chunying listened with a smile as Xia He and Shi'er talked about interesting things when they were children, and they talked from time to time, as if they had returned to the days when they were in college and chatted with their roommates.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the three of them were stunned, Chun Ying put on a coat, jumped out of bed to open the door, and saw that it was Mei Xiang outside.

Mei Xiang stroked her hands and said embarrassedly: "Chun'er, can you do me a favor now?" I promised Begonia to make a skirt for her, but I gave it to her later today, but I realized that I had sent Lanxiang's skirt by mistake. You can go back for me, and then get the orchid back. ”

Chunying was stunned: "But now it's a shift, Sister Begonia should have fallen asleep, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"No, the Hou Ye went out for a banquet today, and he hasn't returned yet, and he will definitely not sleep first in the main courtyard.? img src='/sss/fmgeyimehid.jpg"> easy card hui mulberry wall 14. Pump waste α, Pump, T br />

Shi'er also came over with his clothes on: "Shall I accompany you?" No mistakes are a lot of words, so late, wouldn't you be afraid to walk alone at night? ”

Chunying smiled: "I'm not afraid, I've already walked that road several times." "She has been sending things for the third young master and a few big girls these days, and she is quite familiar with the roads in the house, and there are yards along the way, of course she is not afraid.

Mei Xiang also said: "Shi'er, I have something to look for you, I want to make a new pair of shoes for the third young master, how about you help me get the soles?" He wants it tomorrow, and I can't do it alone. ”

Shi'er agreed, and Chunying pulled her back to the room to hurriedly dress, and soothed Xia He, who was pouting a few words, before going to find Mei Xiang. Mei Xiang handed her a bag of things, and when she was about to leave the hospital, she said casually: "By the way, the third young master said that he wants to make some incense and collect some bamboo leaves, and when you come back, turn around and pick a handful in the garden." ”

Chunying responded in her mouth, but there was something strange in her heart, it was freezing this day, and the bamboo leaves had turned yellow, so use it as incense?

She carried a lantern along the way, walked along the avenue to the main courtyard, and arrived at the destination smoothly, and saw that the main courtyard was really brightly lit. She casually found a little girl to say what she meant, and the little girl found Begonia. It was a delicate and gentle girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and when she saw Chunying, she smiled before she spoke: "It's hard for you to run this trip so late, what's the matter?" Mei Xiang is too tight, and it is the same for Ming'er to send it. ”

Chunying smiled and said, "Sister Meixiang is worried that the original owner of the skirt will be angry." Haitang snorted, understood what she meant, and asked the little girl to go to her room to get a small burden: "Do you see if this is it?" Actually, I recognized it too, how could it be a half-old dress when it was a new dress? I'm still wondering in my heart, isn't it Mei Xiang's girl who doesn't have the time to work for me, so she simply took her own old clothes to make up for it? ”

Chunying smiled dryly and put away her skirt, and was about to say goodbye, but Haitang stopped her: "You wait a little, I'm afraid that someone will ask you to do something." Chunying looked at her suspiciously, only to see her enter the backyard, and after a while, she pulled out a strange girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, the latter's facial features were a little familiar, but I didn't know where I had seen them.

The girl came up with a smile and said, "You are the Chun'er sister of Huanhuaxuan?" My name is Hongdou, my surname is Li, and my mother works in your kitchen. Chunying knew that this was Aunt Li's daughter, and hurriedly greeted her.

Hongdou said: "My sister Mung Bean and I went out a few days ago, and I didn't meet my mother to receive the reward, and now I have to be busy making soup for my grandmother every day, and I don't have time to go out." It just so happened that we made a clip for my mother, and I wanted to drive my sister to give it to her. With that, he took a burden and came out.

Chunying accepted it without saying a word, chatted with her a few more words, and then left the main courtyard. Just as he was about to return the way he came, he suddenly remembered Mei Xiang's instructions and turned onto the path leading to the garden.

The mother-in-law who guarded the door of the garden asked her what she meant, and let her in, she recalled the location of the bamboo forest in her memory, while carrying the lantern to illuminate, while slowly touching it, and after a while, she came to the edge of a bamboo forest, the wind blew the bamboo leaves rattling, stepping on the fallen leaves, and the steps were accompanied by a creaking sound. When she saw that the bamboo leaves were dry, she wanted to make incense, at least with some greenery, right? Without making a mistake, I searched all the way, trying to find a few bamboo leaves that had not yet withered.

After looking for a while, she suddenly found the end of a bamboo leaf at the front end, with a few half-yellow and half-green leaves, and under the joy, she hurriedly ran over, stretched out her hand to pick it, and suddenly something flashed in front of her, and in the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared less than a meter away from her. She was startled, looked over with a lantern, saw only a pale face, and immediately screamed in fright.
