XXXVII. The Man (Minor Repair)
Mei Xiang listened to Qing'er's words, smiled dumbly, turned around and gave a look to the little girls around her, and everyone quickly and quietly dispersed, before she turned around and persuaded: "Where do I care about this?" Besides, you have also wronged people, Manru is still waiting in the upper room, where is he asleep? If you don't like it, let her take your dirty laundry to the laundry room for you, as long as there are people in the house, who is not the same? After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Since you are an old man, you should show your old qualifications, and you should also teach the little girl at the bottom well, you are either beaten or scolded all day long, how can people obey you?" When the masters saw it, they also thought that you were mean, and compared with others, how could you please it? ”
Qing'er opened her mouth to argue, but was finally pushed back to the backyard by Mei Xiang with a smile. Chunying watched their backs disappear, breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the bed, remembered what she had just done, and was a little annoyed: she seemed to be too impulsive, Qing'er was one level higher than her anyway, she offended her boss, and she would wear small shoes in the future, I wonder if Sister Qiuyu's name can block Qing'er's revenge?
"Chun'er......" Shi'er slipped in from outside the door, "You're so bold!" You actually dare to talk back to Sister Qing'er! ”
Chunying flattened her mouth, raised her neck and said, "The top is the top!" She was the one who bothered me first! Could it be that when others scolded her, she still had to smile and accept it? She's the one who makes sense!
Shi'er snickered and pushed Xia He in the corner of the house: "Idiot, what are you doing hiding here?" Everyone's gone! Xia He pushed her away angrily, and walked up to Chunying and glared: "You offended the sister above, and you will suffer in the future, don't bother me!" Then he ran to his bed, pulled down the curtain, and there was no sound.
"Beware of smothering you!" Shi'er scolded, then ran to Chunying's bedside, and said with a smile: "Chun'er, Sister Rouge and Sister Manru have both won awards tonight, and Sister Manru has won a marquee, which is interesting!" But I don't seem to like her very much, you and she grew up in the same yard, she is good to you, can you help me talk about it, begging her to lend me the lamp to play for two days? ”
How does this answer Chunying? was going to refuse, but thinking that Shi'er had been very good to herself after entering the mansion, Chun Ying hesitated for a moment, and then casually found an excuse to delay it. When the tea was delivered to the second door the next day, it happened to be Man Rulai to pick up the tray, and she hesitated: "I heard that you got a good lamp last night?" Shi'er mentioned it to me, saying that she likes it very much, and asked me to ask you, can you let her get closer and take a closer look? ”
Manru took the tray, looked at her with a very complicated gaze, and turned around silently, Chunying felt inexplicable.
However, at dinner, Shi'er still saw the lamp, although she couldn't play with it in her hand, she was quite satisfied: "It's better than the one I got during the Lantern Festival, Chun'er, thank you very much." Chunying smiled and swept Manru, who was sitting silently in a corner eating, a little confused.
Maybe it was because she knew the identity of Chunying's sister, coupled with Mei Xiang's advice, Qing'er stopped targeting Chunying later, but it was difficult for so long, and there were a few quarrels, she couldn't pull her face to pretend to be her sister, and when she saw Chunying, at most, she couldn't see it, and Chunying was not interested in paying attention to her, so she ignored her and walked over.
As time passed, Chunying began to get used to the life of Huanhuaxuan. She got up early every day to clean, and she also mastered some small skills to make herself more relaxed, and she became familiar with other little girls. Although she was not interested in participating in the gossip of the little girls, she would sit by and do needlework, pretending to listen with relish, occasionally interjecting a few silly words, and sometimes helping a little, and the little girls soon regarded her as their own. Coupled with the plum fragrance covering it, her life was quite easy.
She has never officially seen the third young master, but every day she sees him coming in and out of a group of girls from a distance, and the only impression is: he looks really delicate and cute, his eyebrows are clear, his gestures are also very generous, he speaks and acts very gently, and he is a good little boy. But when she thought that most of the maids in the courtyard had the idea of climbing into his bed, she couldn't accept it, this is obviously still a child?! Aren't those sisters too?!
In this group of hungry maids, except for the gentle eldest sister Mei Xiang, probably only the new Rouge is far away from the third young master. She seems to treat him as a flood beast, hiding in her room all day long (she enjoys the treatment of a big girl and occupies a room exclusively), according to the little girls, she is embroidering, occasionally reading books, and even eating and washing are carried out in the room, the third young master asked her to go, she ignored it, she really couldn't get rid of it, she came to the third young master, she also had a straight face and no good face, asked her to pour tea and she pushed it to others, asked her to grind ink and she said no, talk to her, she also ignored it. The third young master was not angry, and rewarded a lot of good things, she accepted it, but she didn't even say thank you. Even Mei Xiang frowned, and Lan Xiang and the other second-class girls were even more resentful.
Chunying only knew this by listening to the little girls' chatter, she was a little curious, could it be that rouge girl who was unwilling to suffer from her own experience, so she treated people with such a cold face? Speaking of which, she is quite innocent, she was doing well, and her family has some money, because the palace wants to be a beauty, in order to get ahead, she was sent out by her family and fellow villagers, and she left her hometown to the palace, but she was transferred to someone else, if she entered the palace and became the concubine of the prince, then forget it, she accidentally entered the Hou Mansion as a maid, who can swallow this breath?
So Chunying said: "That rouge sister is from a good family, maybe she is not used to waiting for people?" I heard that she was also a daughter when she was at home. ”
The little girl Rong'er pouted: "It's just the daughter of a small businessman, what kind of daughter is it?" When she arrives at us, what kind of young lady is she putting on? What we eat, wear, and use is not better than the ordinary rich lady outside? The sisters of Mr. Wang's housekeeper are more delicate than the young lady of Dongcheng Jiang's family, and they were raised by girls and mothers-in-law since they were children, so they still go to work in the house? Which green onion is that rouge? Even if you have long eyes on the top of your head, you still have to instruct us to work, and you really think of yourself as a young lady! ”
Another little girl, Xiao Ling, said timidly: "But she is second-class, and she still receives first-class monthly money, can she ask us to do things?" ”
"That also depends on what is going on!" Rong'er raised her voice, "Our master is the third young master, and the work to be done for him is also for him, who has time to wait for her?!" ”
Xiao Ling quickly glanced around, and hurriedly pulled her: "Be quiet, what if you are heard?" Then he bowed his head and said, "The third young master likes Sister Rouge, and it's not strange that she puts on a show." Which sister wasn't like this when she was in power? What are you scolding her for? ”
"You damn girl, can this be the same?!" Rong'er twisted Xiao Ling's arm, "If the other sisters want to summon us, they will also give us a piece of candy to eat, which is like her?" Tired and tired, she didn't even have a good face, she really regarded us as her girls! ”
Xiao Ling was in pain and couldn't help but twist it back, the two made a mess, but Chun Ying was holding her chin beside her, sighing that rouge couldn't be a man. Shi'er and another little girl, Chen'er, came in from the courtyard gate with a plate of snacks, and when they saw them playing there, the latter complained: "You are so idle! Poor us, we're all dying! ”
Chunying hurriedly dropped the needlework and ran over to pick up the tray in Da Shi'er's hand: "This is going to be sent to the back?" How are there so many? ”
"The old lady said that the third young master always refused to eat, for fear that he would be hungry, so he asked to prepare a lot of snacks and urge him to eat all the time." Shi'er grinned and said, "The third young master doesn't eat that jujube mud cake, let's go back and beg Sister Mei Xiang to eat it, right?" ”
Chunying smiled dumbly: "It's up to you." Shi'er smiled happily and squinted, and Chen'er said with a look of disdain next to her: "It's like I haven't eaten it, beware of supporting you!" ”
"When you get snacks, why aren't you afraid of dying?" Rong'er said sarcastically, and turned to Shi'er again, "It's almost time to eat, what's the use of using this?" It's better to ask the kitchen to bring food early. ”
Shi'er said: "I think so too, but who dares not to listen to the old lady's orders?" The old lady also said that if it was a watch day in the future, and the third young master hadn't slept yet, she would ask the kitchen to send some delicious and easy-to-restrain supper. She tilted her head: "What has the third young master been painting lately?" Why do you stay up until the second and third shifts every day before you fall asleep? ”
"The third young master naturally wants to do big things, how can a little girl like you understand?!" Chen'er stuffed the tray in his hand into Rong'er's arms, "I'll go to the kitchen to urge dinner, the third young master has eaten early, and then go to paint, so he won't be hungry." ”
She turned around and was about to run, but Rong'er didn't dare to act rashly with a large plate of snacks, so she could only stomp her feet hatefully: "I can get you!" Obviously I thought of it, but it's cheap for you! Shi'er shouted to stop Chen'er: "Chun'er doesn't know the road yet, you take her with you, it's convenient to run errands in the future." Chen'er stopped and looked back, frowned and glared at Chunying: "Then hurry up!" What are you rubbing?! ”
Chun Ying held back the unhappiness in her heart, and followed her all the way to the vicinity of the second gate, but saw more than a dozen carriages parked in the open space in front of her, and there were many small servants carrying the things on the carts back and forth, she was wondering what was going on, so she was pulled by the panicked Chen'er to the bushes next to her, and the latter shouted: "Pei Ji!" Pei Ji! ”
A strange middle-aged man ran over sweating: "Who is calling me?" ”
"It's me!" Chen'er poked her face out from behind the bushes, "What are you doing ahead?" Why are there so many people in the second gate? ”
Pei Ji said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Chen'er, she was not a living person, she was all on an errand in the second room, and the big luggage of the second master's house finally arrived today, this is moving things." Girl, are you going to the front? ”
"I'm going to the kitchen!"
"That's going to be difficult, I heard that there are still a few cars behind me that haven't come, this person has a lot of eyes......" Pei Ji rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Girl, why don't you take another path?" ”
Chen'er stomped her feet dissatisfiedly and shook her head at Chunying: "Go!" Let's walk through the garden! ”
Chunying had no choice but to follow the back path and walk all the way into the garden. It was the first time she had entered here, but unfortunately she was in a hurry and couldn't stop to enjoy the view, but at a glance, she could see that this garden had taken a lot of painstaking work, with pavilions and pavilions, and a lot of flowers and plants that she had never seen before. At present, there are several varieties of osmanthus flowers that bloom best, and they exude a pleasant fragrance all the way.
Walking to the bottom of the mountain, Chunying suddenly remembered the sigh she heard that day, and couldn't help but look at the house at the foot of the mountain. It was a few small blue brick houses, hidden behind the forests and green bamboos, filled with a bleak atmosphere. Looking at the mountain again, there is a small bamboo hut hidden in the bamboo forest in the same way, and the wind blows the bamboo leaves.
Chen'er turned her head and glared at Chunying: "Let's go?" What do you see over there? Haunted there, beware of ghosts taking you...... Ouch! Before she could finish speaking, she fell and cried out: "I am in pain!" What is this?! She took out a piece of jade pendant from under her body, and saw that its texture was white and flawless, the carving was exquisite, and it was also connected with gorgeous knots, she was stunned, her eyes rolled, and she gradually appeared happy: "Isn't this the jade that the third young master brought with him?" He must have accidentally landed here! ”
"Really?" Chunying helped her up, "Then let's take it back and give it to Sister Meixiang later, right?" ”
Chen'er glanced at her: "The third young master is the most precious jade, he will be very anxious if he loses it, I will take it back to him, you wait for me here." With that, he quickly turned around and left. Chunying was taken aback, she didn't expect her to walk so fast after falling.
Chunying was left alone in place, there was no one around, a little boring, suddenly heard a cat meow, looking for prestige, it turned out to be a white and yellow-spotted Persian cat, round, fluffy, very cute. Chunying remembered the Persian cat of her friend Zhang Xiaomei's house, whose coat color was a little yellow than this, chubby and basking in the sun on the balcony all day long, and every time she came to her arms, she was very well-behaved. She couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, so she beckoned to the cat gently: "Come here, come here!" But the cat turned his head arrogantly and jumped into the bamboo forest.
Chunying couldn't help laughing, looked left and right, and chased it lightly, following it all the way into the bamboo forest, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. She was a little annoyed, but when she turned around, she found that she had walked far away, and it was actually near the tiled house, next to it was a flower garden, planted with dozens of green plants, and I don't know what kind of plant, the green leaves suddenly flickered, and a cat face emerged from the middle, and "meowed" at her.
"So you're here?" Chunying walked over with a smile, squatted down and carefully touched its fur, it was a little reluctant, but it didn't dodge, Chunying was happy in her heart, and was about to touch it again, but it turned around and ran away. She tried to chase after her, but a pair of soap boots appeared in front of her.
She held her breath and slowly raised her head, and a strange handsome young man met her eyes and smiled at her: "Where are you a girl?" How did you get here? ”
(Guess who he is, right?) Sorry, it's later ~~)
