Chapter 10: The Nobles of Shangdu (4)

"You're the maid ring next to your master, right?" The housekeeper had just entered the house, and he couldn't tell who was with whom, but he remembered the color of Yahuan's skirt, and subconsciously took the second-class Yahuan that appeared in the outer garden as Qiu Si Qiu Wu brought out of the house.

"No ......" was just half a word, and there was an extra tray in front of him, on which were placed two beauty high-necked teapots.

"Hurry up and send it to the Yanlou, the fourth master is waiting." Really, I obviously called a girl to wait outside the wild goose building, but when I saw it just now, there was no one. The fourth master is suave and suave, he likes to have wine and food handled by women, if he sends it in by himself, he is looking for scolding. Besides, he is not the one who serves tea and water. Fortunately, one walked and one came.

Yes? A sentence came out of Mo Zi's head, walking a lot at night and eventually encountering ghosts. She was out of the garden, and eventually met with bad luck. Besides, she almost met the younger brother of this family, thinking that she had avoided it, but let her meet the elder brother of this family?

Mo Zi has been in Qiu Mansion for half a year. In the past six months, Qiu Sanniang has lived in a simple house, and generally brings white lotus, small clothes or green chrysanthemums on ordinary occasions, and rarely takes her. Qiu Sanniang didn't want people to remember her face out of expatriate considerations, and she didn't like to join in the fun.

It's just a female dependent, Mo Zi has only seen Qiu Siqiu and five faces, and every time she is dusty, she is the shadow of Qiu Sanniang.

"What are you doing? Don't take it yet? Let the fourth master lose his temper, you can take care of it? "Why are you stunned? The housekeeper was impatient, "I have urgent business to do." ”

"I'm not the fourth master's maid." Mo Zi should have taken it.

The status of the housekeeper is higher than her, and the outer garden is the place where the housekeepers call the shots. If there is no master present, the idle first-class maids will have to do their bidding. But in her bones, there is no servility. As for the title of this girl's ring, it is only half-hung and disobedient.

"You're not always the master, are you?" The butler was a little angry, "Let you go, just go." "The girl ring in which room doesn't understand the rules at all!

Mo Zi saw that the housekeeper had talked about this, and she couldn't go if she didn't go, so she had to reluctantly accept it.

The housekeeper snorted and left.

Mo Zi had an impulse to put the tray on the ground and leave. However, this is a hierarchical society. Qiu Sanniang is different, Zhang's, Qiu Si, Qiu Wu and others have the face of a high master. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. What's more, she is currently a servant.

With a sharp blade hanging in her heart, she swallowed her anger and walked into the Yanlou.

The wild goose tower is the façade of Qiu Mansion, which has only recently been redecorated and is magnificent. With the limited experience she can remember, she feels vulgar. Famous calligraphy and paintings (I don't know whether it's true or not) are inlaid with gold frames shiny, as if people don't know that they are valuable things.

A large round table was set up in the main hall, and six or seven people sat around. Except for Qiu Si, Mo Zi has never seen one.

Qiu Si's appearance is much more righteous than Qiu Wu. Two thick eyebrows, a pair of sword eyes, a high forehead and a square face, and a dignified appearance. Dressed in a white cloud and green pine brocade robe, he has a wide chest and shoulders, and a big waist and a round waist, which is the most standard beautiful man in Da Zhou. Like Qiu Wu, it has excellent conditions for wind flow. This is similar to the humanistic era of the transition from the Tang Dynasty to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also an elegant thing to be able to be amorous outside.

Looking at it again, the others are all middle-aged men, so it seems that Qiu Siqi on the guest seat is extraordinary, which attracts a few pairs of amorous eyes.

It turned out that there were three or four singers nearby. Dressed in plain satin and powder blue yarn, the fat powder is also light, and there is really no musical instrument by his side. Among them, the most outstanding appearance, lovesick cheeks and amorous eyes, is singing a Jiangnan Xiaoling with a cold and cool golden crisp singing voice, which is really a bit of an atmosphere of nostalgia for the old people.

Mo Zi thought to herself, she didn't have to wait for this little order to finish, she would be able to retire. Without further delay, step forward to pour tea for someone.

Qiu Si glanced at Mo Zi, felt that his face was raw, and looked at it again, so he stopped paying attention.

"The little nephew has taken over the family's shop for less than half a year, and the elders have to mention it more, and the little nephew respects the uncles here." At the dinner table, Qiu Si coped with it easily.

Everyone at the table raised their glasses.

"The silk shop is thin and high, but it is the beginning of the year and the end of the year. The little nephew intends to open a money bank and wants to find someone to partner, I wonder if the uncles are interested? "But when it comes to business, it's not a good time.

Fifty miles away from the main seat, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe, finished drinking tea and said: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, you and I have a relationship between the two families, and we should maintain more in the future." ”

Mo Zi heard it, Qiu Si, Qiu Si, your uncles have been polite. How can the Qian Zhuang be opened by the Qiu family? Use your brain. She thought to herself, her hands were not idle. Qiu Si saluted for a round, and she had to pour tea again.

"The eldest nephew is not modest. Who doesn't know that Qiu's shop makes your eldest sister run a prosperous business, and this profit is not one or two points. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her walking around the shop since the end of the year, so could it be that she went to business in person again? The middle-aged man under the throne had a hearty voice and a big square face laughing.

Mo Zichai, the main seat is Wei Da, followed by Wei Er, who listens attentively to the music, with a scholar-like Confucianism, a man in his thirties, should be Wei San.

Because someone mentioned Qiu Sanniang, a trace of disapproval flashed on Qiu Si's face, "Sanniang has been at home since the New Year." Since my father handed over the shop to us brothers, I don't need her to show her face again. ”

"It's a pity." Wei Er sighed.

"What's a pity?" Wei Da is more conservative than Wei Er, "No matter how capable you are, you are also a daughter's family." Specializing in female popularity, serving her parents at home, and being considerate of her husband and filial piety to her in-laws after marriage, that is the duty of a good woman. If it's a man's body, that's it. ”

"That's what the uncles said. It was my father who spoiled my eldest sister, so he let her come here. Now that my brothers and I have grown up, my mother has left her at home and learned to be in charge of the family. She was well past the age she should have married. We are anxious now, but we are afraid that we will not be able to choose a good family. "Qiu Si does have a hand in speaking.

I don't know what's going on, I think my sister and brother are in deep love.

"That's not the case. Qiu Sanniang is famous in the city, and if the news of her choosing a son-in-law spreads, the matchmaker must not step through the threshold. Wei Er spoke highly of Qiu Sanniang, "As far as I know, the young owner of the Wangjia Pharmacy in the east of the city admires her very much. How, do you want me to match? ”

Mo Zi's ears straightened. God knows, she, like Qiu Sanniang, doesn't want to be trapped in this mansion, and engages in house fighting sports with a group of idle women from morning to night.

"Mother wants to find a good family for Sanniang, preferably from a scholarly family and an official family." Qiu Si didn't think about it and refused.

"Second brother, don't help. Qiu Fuzu has been a court official, how can a serious lady be married to an ordinary businessman? Wei Da had a pair of sharp eyes and saw the deep meaning of Qiu Si's words.

"It's not my turn to call the shots, it's all my mother's worries. If there is good news, you must invite your uncles to drink. "Qiu Si must not offend anyone.

Mo Zi's hands trembled with anger, and he accidentally spilled a few bits of tea outside.

Wei San, who originally didn't say a word, was probably the only one on the table who listened carefully to the music, stared at Mo Zi's hand, and suddenly said a word, drawing the attention of everyone present to Mo Zi.
