Chapter Ninety-Six
Ancient romance
Just when Manru was panicking, Shi'er's answer came from inside the house, and in her ears, it was like a heavenly sound, shouldn't it? There are not many words Manru's beads and flowers have not been lost, and they are still worn every day, and I saw her wearing them on her head just now. Second sister, who is that girl? Is it really the pearl flower of the pink purple lotus flower that she picked up? Could it be Chun'er's one? ”
Nanqi Dao, you don't recognize that girl, and you are not the one you said, but I have seen the bead flower with my own eyes, and it is indeed the core of the purple glass beads, if that Chun'er lost the core of the pink beads, it will naturally not be hers. If Manru's bead flower is still there, will she make another one? ”
"The glass beads that made beads that day, except for one or two bead flowers made by each person, the rest were taken by Xia He to be strung into tassels to hang her gilded hairpins, there is no one left, where can I make another one? Later, the third young master saw that it was interesting, so he asked the stewards outside to get a lot of pearls and jade coral crystal beads, and asked them to make bead flowers for the eldest young grandmother and the two, and no one ever bought glass beads. Even if Manru wants to do it, he can't do it? ”
Manru listened to Shi'er's words, her heart was relieved, she almost couldn't support it, and she barely climbed the window edge and quietly retreated, but she couldn't help but someone made a noise behind her back Manru? Are you doing it here?! She was startled, and turned around, it turned out to be Chen'er.
Chen'er squinted at her, pulled the corners of her mouth, why didn't she go into the house? It's sneaky here, can't it be eavesdropping? No less words"
Manru secretly hated in her heart, but her face was hard. Make a laugh and say you're really good at telling jokes, okay I'm going to eavesdrop here? I originally wanted to go into the house, but I was embarrassed to disturb when I heard that Mei Xiang seemed to have a guest, so I was stunned here. After that, he quickly walked to the door and lifted the curtain to enter the door, couldn't help but glance at Nanqi, only looked at Mei Xiang intently, and said with a smile Mei Xiang, just now I made clothes for the third young master, and suddenly remembered, now that the weather is getting hotter, do you want to make a few more undershirts for him? He's taller this year than he was last year, and he can't wear his old undershirt anymore. Didn't I hear that the materials for this year's summer clothes have been purchased? Let's get some good horses while it's early? No less words"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Mei Xiang's eyes, and her face fell down. It's not obvious that I also thought of it, I received two Songjiang white cotton cloths early, and I have already started to do it, if you are free, come and help the lining. ”
Man responded, turned his head to look at Nanqi, and coped. Di smiled, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Nanqi You are Manru? The beaded flower on your head, I think it's quite familiar, it seems that I've seen someone and there is one, but who are you? ”
Manru tried to calm down, and smiled a little stiffly. No, but when making beads, there are several people who make the same style. Shi'er is here, she remembers it most clearly, Xia He, Xiang'er, Rong'er, and Xiaoling all have them, can you ask them? No less words"
Nanqi turned his head to look at Shi'er, and Shi'er frowned and said that they also made lotus, but. It's a bead of other colors, and the most similar ones are only Chun'er and yours, if it's not for the different cores, it's simply impossible to distinguish. I don't need to ask anyone, I remember it. ”
Nanqi turned his gaze back to Manru, who was a little nervous. Laughing, it doesn't matter who the Tao is? It's just a glass bead flower, and the price is at most twenty or thirty dollars outside, and if you lose it, you lose it, who can't find it everywhere for this? If that's the case, we'll lose the face of our Hou Mansion. It is too unworthy for the king to spend time on such a trivial matter. "Let's say hello to Mei Xiang, I'll go and see if the third young master's lunch is ready." And he went out.
The three people in the room were first. After a moment of silence, Nanqi smiled It's strange, I just said that someone has such a beaded flower, how could I ever say that it was lost? This Manru knew it very well in his heart. ”
Mei Xiang knew that it was because Man Rufang was eavesdropping outside the window, and she couldn't help but feel that her face was dull, so she was a little uncomfortable, and the little girls were ignorant, so they asked you to see the joke. But there is some truth in her words, it's just a worthless bead flower, you just throw it away. If you put more effort into your business, why worry about ......" paused, and did not continue to speak.
Nanqi's face was faint, and he casually hooked a small strand of hair to his chest to play with, and lowered his head and said No matter how much thought he put into it, is it useful? I've got a mark on me, and I'm just going to get by. If you do more, you will have. ”
"Second ......" Shi'er muttered, Mei Xiang was a little unbearable, so she persuaded Nanqi not to worry too much, who can give you a face? Even if you can't become a powerful person in front of your wife, your life is much better than others, look away, the sad and complaining are not like you. ”
Nanqi turned his head and stared at Mei Xiang twice, and the corners of his mouth curled up You are a good person, but it is a pity that you are not on an errand in the wife's house. I have written down what you said today, I am a person with clear grievances, and since I have listened to your advice, I cannot watch you suffer, and I have a few words to remind you, you must be careful that someone secretly splashes you with dirty water. ”
Mei Xiang's eyes showed doubt.
Manru hurriedly returned to the room, and began to gasp, secretly thinking about what he had just said, to see if there were any flaws, but his mind was in chaos. She plucked the beaded flower from her head, and wanted to break it hard, but she couldn't. She still needs the "innocence" it proves.
"You did something to that beaded flower?" Chen'er's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and Manru's face turned white in shock, and he quickly put Zhuhua on his head, and said with a straight face I don't understand what you're saying. ”
"The beads of the flower core...... It's not glazed, is it? There are not many words" Chen'er walked and picked the bead flower, took it to the front of him to take a closer look, and stretched out his other hand to block Manru's movements, "It looks like it's the same, but this flower core is clearly a purple crystal bead for the young grandmother and them to make beads, no wonder when I cleaned up the leftover beads that day, there was one less number, it turned out that you took it." She sneered and glanced at Manru, if she called them, I don't know what she would think? Mrs. won't tolerate a thief among the people around the third young master, right? No less words"
Manru was originally very panicked, but when she heard this, she calmed down, you don't need to pretend to be a good person. If your hands and feet are clean, where did the jade pendant tied around your waist come from? Aren't the Hepu pearls hanging on your earrings the leftover pearls? Even if you want to catch a thief, you can't catch me! ”
Chen'er's face changed first, and then she sneered and said Do you think I will be afraid? I took these, I asked Lanxiang, it's not like you stole it, it really annoyed me, I'll take you to my wife to reason! With that, he angrily threw Zhuhua on her and turned to leave.
Manru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pinching the bead flower, a little uneasy. Should she ask her mother to quietly buy a few purple glass beads to replace? Although she temporarily forced Chen'er to retreat, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would rather suffer a loss than frame her, and it was better to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
She made up her mind, and when she inadvertently raised her head, she suddenly fell into an ice cave. Nanqi stood outside the window, staring at the bead flower in her hand, and then shifted it to her face, smiling slightly, as if he had understood everything.
She heard!
Manru panicked in her heart, and she didn't even know what time to let go.
At this time, Mei Xiang caught up from behind and called Nanqi, you forgot the handkerchief in my room, you are really careless. ”
Nanqi smiled, took the veil, and said that matter...... You have to be more attentive. ”
"Of course!" Mei Xiang lowered her face coldly, "No matter how good my temper is, there is no reason to let others step on my head!" If you want to make a fool of yourself right under my nose, don't blame me for being rude! After that, he glanced at Manru, a little strange that her face was so pale.
Mei Xiang sent Nanqi out, but Manru sat on the edge of the bed weakly, all that was in her mind was Nanqi's hateful smile, as well as Mei Xiang's words and her glance. What does this mean? Did you even do it with Mei Xiang? But Mei Xiang wants to blame her?! She didn't do it at all!
Will Nanqi report this matter to the second young master? She has been waiting for the second young master for many years, even if she changes her master, she will miss the old love, right? Without a lot of words, is it possible that even this time even the mouth will be extinguished? Damn it! Obviously there is no Chun'er left, he is suspicious?!
Man Ru sat on the corner of the bed with her knees folded in her heart, full of unwillingness. That Nanqi, since childhood, has been the daughter of their family's children, no matter how much food and clothing they have, they are no different from the seriousness of the Hou Mansion, the same silk and satin, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and if you are unhappy, you can put on a face to the second young master, and the second young master will be angry and domineering, and she will be afraid of three points, and she will usually do her work lightly, as long as she is old, she will go out of the house to marry, or marry into a serious and good family to be a young grandmother and enjoy the blessings! Where is her hardship for these little girls?!
is obviously already a person in the wife's house, and he still helps the second young master do things...... Unfaithfulness and unrighteousness!
Manru's eyes suddenly lit up. She thought of a way to save her! How could she be so confused? Such a big thing, hide it and do it? Mrs. should be happy that the second young master has done a good deed, right? Without a lot of words, she is not only the third young master's girl, but also the wife's person, so she naturally wants to help the third young master!
Manru immediately rolled over and got into bed and quickly walked towards the courtyard gate, but Lu'er called her twice on the way, and she ignored it. She has to tell her wife everything immediately, and then tell Nanqi by the way, if she makes this contribution, she must be more valued by her wife, and her position in Huanhuaxuan will be more stable!
Time flies, Chunying came to Funing Street, and three months have passed.
For her, this paragraph is quite unbearable. She lost weight twice, grew taller and tanned, but at the same time, the efficiency of her work was greatly improved, what she originally took three to four hours to do, she could do it in two hours, and the needlework in Mrs. Cheng's house, she became more and more proficient.
Aunt Cheng still scolds people at every turn, but she is more willing to teach her skills than before. Chunying guessed in her heart, the hellish training is really useful, she is now N times stronger than before, and she has evolved from "making a piece of clothing" to "making a beautiful dress", and even the neckline has been added with quite visible embroidery. What makes her even more proud is that Mother Lu's unique skills of being able to measure the size with her hands and eyes and cutting clothes with scissors have also been mastered.
So it's not that hard......
Chunying was a little proud to sew a cloak edge, and Aunt Cheng slapped me seriously! She couldn't help but cry out, muttering...... "And sew it up carefully."
After quickly sewing two cloaks, she remembered that she hadn't bought the dishes for today's two meals, so she hurriedly left her work and went downstairs. The shopkeeper paced in front of him and said in a loud voice, Xiaochun, I made an appointment with someone to go out for dinner tonight, you don't have to cook my food. ”
Chunying answered, and asked the shopkeeper with a smile, who was the guest? Go to Fumanlou again? ”
Where is the stone shopkeeper smiling? Fumanlou counts? I'm going to Jinduokaku today! ”
It was a high-end restaurant on the street nearby, how high-end the wine and food were, Chunying no, but the price was well-known high-end, and I was speechless when I heard it, which one is so generous? Burning too much money? ”
The stone shopkeeper laughed, but at this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the distance, and it gradually approached. Shopkeeper Shi hurriedly turned back to the front storefront, Chunying didn't care, but Aunt Cheng poked her head out of the stairs and scolded which family did the funeral on Funing Street? ! It's really unlucky! ”
Funeral? Chunying's gongs and drums turned out to be mourning, and she hurriedly ran to the front storefront, looked at the funeral procession slowly passing by on the street, and quietly asked the shopkeeper Shi who this is? It seems to be rich. ”
The shopkeeper replied in a low voice, I recognize the filial son in front of me, who is the eldest young master of the imperial merchant Hu family. Tut! The old man of the Hu family was very sick, but I heard that his condition had improved, but I didn't expect it to be gone. This man, how much money is the same......"
Chunying felt a little strange in her heart, she felt that this Hu family was ...... Sounds familiar?
