Chapter 27: The Bodhisattva's Heart (2)
"Anything can be wrong, I rely on these eyes to eat, even if a needle is lost, I can find it." Anshun's daughter-in-law didn't forget to praise herself, and said that she meant, "The fourth grandmother said that she had snow lotus seeds in the Foggy Mountains there, and she originally wanted to give the third girl a copy, since you two girls came to pick up things, she didn't need to find someone to send them over, let me wait to carry the cage, which of you will go to the fourth grandmother's courtyard." ”
Mo Zi waited for Bai Lotus to speak. In front of others, the hierarchy still needs to be clearly distinguished.
"In that case, Mo Zi, go get it, don't forget to thank the fourth grandmother." Lu Ju Xiaoyi was waiting for her to assign something to do, and Bai He had no choice but to confess to Mo Zi.
Mo Zi saw that the two servants lifted the box easily, she and Bai He didn't have to be coolies, and the courtyard of the fourth grandmother was not far from here, of course she had no opinion on the good thing.
Qiu Si and the fourth grandmother's yard is called Spring Garden. The name is good, and the location is also excellent, with a panoramic view of the most beautiful lake, bridge, and hill forest in Fuchu. There was actually a horse road in front of the door, and Qiu Sanniang once criticized it as absurd. Qiu Si can ride all the way from outside the house to the entrance of his own house, which shows how much his status as the eldest son in this family and his sister-in-law is valued by the Zhang family.
Mo Zi heard the neighing of the horse, and his originally brisk steps became heavy. Holding a little luck, she thought that maybe it was just to report the news, or maybe it was the fourth grandmother's subordinate.
The reason why I don't like to face Qiu Si and Qiu Wu, the male masters of the family, is because they are too romantic. The low-status maids and servants, Qiu Wu can play and play at will. Qiu Si Rabbit does not eat the grass by the nest, but there are four or five prostitutes raised outside the house, and I don't know if they will change their taste one day and love to gnaw at home.
A woman who is clean and self-conscious, like her, can there be someone who does not hide?
Turning a corner, Mo Zi saw the tall horse covered in spots in front of the door, and secretly shouted in her heart. If I saw Qiu Si's personal servant Qi Shu and a very peugeot-looking little girl giggling and laughing, not to mention. She had just provoked Qiu Si's wife two days ago, and she was really afraid that the couple would have to settle accounts with her when they thought about it today. The fourth grandmother wouldn't have asked her to come on purpose, would she? But Anshun's daughter-in-law did not name names.
It's impossible to turn around and walk now, the direction of the footsteps remains the same, but Mo Zi seems to be grinding.
"Who are you?" The little girl who was talking to Qi Shu saw her.
"The fourth grandmother asked me to fetch the snow lotus seeds from the Foggy Mountains." Mo Zi only replied to the purpose of this trip.
"I asked your name, but I didn't ask you what you were here for." The level of the little girl's control skirt is - there is no rank, and she speaks very strongly.
"My name is Mo Zi, and I am from the third girl's room." Clear enough, isn't it?
The little girl's round eyes fanned, "Is that the black purple that my wife beat a few days ago?" ”
Mo Zi felt the nerve in the back of her brain twitch. Even for her own sake, she has to hurry up and let Qiu Sanniang marry, because she has become a celebrity in this mansion, similar to her master, on the cusp of the waves, and will suffer a lot of attention.
"Come with me, grandma has already commanded." The little girl waved her hand at the book, raised her head and entered the door.
Mo Zi looked at the little girl's arrogant and pretending to be an adult, and her tangled mood was a little more relaxed, and she couldn't help but laugh. After all, she is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, so why should I bother with her?
Qiu Si's yard has a small garden, a pavilion and a fish pond, and the wing rooms are three in the southeast and west, and there are more than ten rooms, which are three or four times larger than Qiu Sanniang's courtyard.
The little girl led her to the door of the big house in the south wing, and a second-class girl ring came out of it.
"Sister Jinzhu, Sister Mozi in the third girl's room came to fetch snow lotus seeds." The little girl said sweetly.
Mo Zi listened to it, and realized that she underestimated this girl, but she was actually very clever, not superficial and arrogant. The one whose name was Jin Zhu had the same face as usual when he heard her name, and his eyes were calm. Unconsciously gave the credit for teaching a sensible girl to the fourth grandmother.
"Caizhu'er, I'll tell grandma, you-" Jin Zhu wants to send the little girl back to the gatehouse.
"Caizhu, you want to use refreshments, you take Qiao Shu to the gatehouse to sit for a while, and then bring him some pastries and snacks." The voice of the fourth grandmother came from the house.
Caizhu seemed to be close to Qiao Shu, and she let out a happy sigh and jumped away.
"Grandma, Mo Zi is here." Jin Zhu reported, although Cai Zhu said it quite loudly just now.
"Come in." The fourth grandmother commanded.
Why let people in? Just give something and let the small beads of colored beads and gold beads be given to her. Mo Zi stood beside him despite Jin Zhu, his feet stopped outside the threshold, and hesitated again.
Jin Zhu didn't rush either, just waiting.
Mo Zi didn't dodge just now, and now it's even more impossible to dodge, so he has no choice but to go in.
The house is very bright, and the furnishings are the preferences of the four grandmothers, especially heavy and delicate arrangements. There were two cups of tea on the pear wood table, the smoke was emerald green, and the smell of incense was very fragrant between breaths. There are also several small plates with different dim sum in a delicate style.
Qiu Si and the fourth grandmother sat on opposite sides of the table.
Mo Zi stepped forward and saluted, "Fourth master, fourth grandmother, okay." ”
Qiu Si didn't even look at her, but he said that he was polite and only cared about drinking tea.
The fourth grandmother laughed, "My girls are clumsy, and they don't know where to collect the snow lotus seeds, and they are looking for them." ”
Mo Zi can only laugh with him, saying that there are many mistakes, so he keeps laughing silently without showing his teeth.
"There were a lot of people before, and I didn't have to ask. Does your face still hurt? I have a good blood ointment here, let the girl bring you a small bottle. The fourth grandmother didn't let this silence last long, and took in Qiu Si's sudden glance at Mo Zi.
"Thank you grandma for your concern, but it's completely fine." Mo Zi hurriedly excused himself. No matter whether the four grandmothers are good or bad, they have short hands to take people. I helped Qiu Sanniang get it, and it has nothing to do with me.
"I heard from the master, you are from Yuling, and your parents are gone." The fourth grandmother asked, "Are there any other siblings or relatives?" ”
"Nope." Mo Zi replied with a low brow. Because I usually have too little contact with the middle and senior leaders of the prefecture, my head is very tired today, and my neck has a little muscle spasm.
"Blame the poor thing." The fourth grandmother shook her head.
At this moment, the jewel came out of the back room with a wooden box in his hand.
"Found it?" The fourth grandmother took it, opened it and looked at it, looked very satisfied, handed it to Baozhu, and motioned for her to give it to Mo Zi.
Mo Zi carefully held it with both hands, "I thank the fourth master and the fourth grandmother for the girl." "The footsteps are slightly retreating, should you be able to go?
"My own family, what's polite? Go back quickly, I know Sanniang must be busy there. The fourth grandmother finally let go.
Mo Zi held the box, his body was very similar to bowing, but he didn't care so much, he walked out in a circle under his feet. Anyway, I almost bumped into someone who was about to enter at the door.
She immediately apologized, but the man was unforgiving, "You're going to die?" Rush to reincarnate and hit your head with your head! ”
"Elaine, don't say those bad words, didn't you see that Xianggong was there?" The fourth grandmother was not angry in her words, her movements were calm, and she poured tea for Qiu Si.
"It's just a girl, can't I teach it a lesson?" Elaine was wearing a peach-colored skirt, with her eyebrows and eyes charming, "My lord, it's rare to see you come back during the day." When she came back, she sat down with her sister and didn't look at me. ”
"If I don't look at you, won't you come yourself?" Qiu Si ate the cloud cake slices handed to him by the fourth grandmother, and his tone was not warm.
"......," the fourth grandmother persuaded.
Mo Zi had already walked out, so she didn't hear it clearly, and she wasn't even curious, anyway, it was just a jealous drama for a man. Think about it, the fourth grandmother is better than the fifth grandmother, there is only one in the house to take care of, and as long as the few outside are not brought in, they will be fine. Elaine, it doesn't seem to be as favored as rumored in the house, and the matter between her and Qiu Wu-
Hurried footsteps.
The beautiful garden houses are becoming more and more breathless.
