Chapter 23: The Trumpet
Only then did a trace of the white belly of the fish appear in the sky, and a rough cry was made when he shook it: "Kuan'er!" Then he clutched his wings and shouted, "Get up!" Get up! Get out! Get out! ”
Kuan'er sighed, quickly got up and dressed and combed her hair, and before she could wash her face, she first lifted the roaring shake out of the house and hung it under the porch, and added water and rice to it before she had time to clean herself up.
Kuan'er washed her face with the well water, and Shu'er had already taken out the bucket and food box from the utility room, and was ready to go to the kitchen to get hot water and breakfast. The courtyard of Peony is very remote, far away from anywhere, in order to avoid hitting the peak period of asking for water to get food, it will be cold as soon as they wait, so they can only try to go early.
As usual, Kuan'er lightly opened the courtyard door, picked up the heaviest bucket in his hand, and beckoned Shu'er: "Let's go early, see what the breakfast they have prepared, keep an eye on it, they have nothing to say, right?" ”
Shu'er lifted the food box with a cold face, suddenly stomped his feet, stuffed the food box into Kuan'er's hand, sneered and rolled up his sleeves and went to the right wing where Li's mother and Lanzhi lived: "Why do the two of us have to serve those two newcomers?" Mrs. Affection assigned them to us, not to serve the young lady, but to send two bodhisattvas to us to offer! ”
Kuan'er knew what she wanted to do as soon as she saw her appearance, hurriedly put down the wooden barrel and food box, stepped forward and grabbed Shu'er and persuaded, "What are you going to do?" You won't listen to what the young lady says. Not to mention anything else, they were not convinced and quarreled, they were also arguing with the young lady, and asking others to see the jokes. ”
Shu'er sneered: "Then according to you, let's swallow our anger like this?" Look at the two of them who made the mistake last night, you stand up! You are cowardly, I don't blame you, but don't come to mix blindly! ”
Kuan'er couldn't say anything about her, as if she was in a hurry, she just didn't let go, and the two stood in the yard like a see-saw and didn't give in to each other.
The door of the left wing room squeaked softly, Mother Lin's temples were smooth, her clothes were neatly out, and she swept her face to the two of them, and the two immediately let go and stood up straight, and shouted in a low voice: "Mom, why don't you sleep more?" ”
Mother Lin said: "It's not early, why don't you two hurry up and get food and water?" ”
Shu'er pouted at the right wing: "The two of them don't work because they are just bad......"
Mother Lin smiled faintly: "You guys can't hold it, don't you?" That's as much as you can move. In the past, she was for the peony to live in the Liu family for the rest of her life, she didn't want to complain more, she had to swallow her anger, and be a low-key person.
Shu'er's eyes rolled and she smiled: "Got it!" "It's not up to her to decide how strong she is. You can take whoever you want, and you don't take anyone you want to take, where you can take so much!
After seeing Kuan'er and Shu'er leave the yard hand in hand, Mother Lin stood under the porch and squinted at the morning glow on the horizon, and said softly: "If you don't go out in the morning and go out in the evening, it must be raining today." Someone has to build a shed for this flower. ”
As he spoke, the door of the main room opened quietly, and Yuhe tiptoed out and said with a smile: "Mom got up so early." ”
Halfway through eating rice, he raised his eyes and saw the rain lotus, and immediately screamed: "Dead lotus, don't go to water the flowers yet!" ”
Yuhe glared at him, snorted, and said, "I'm busy eating you, no one treats you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" ”
Flicked and flapped his wings, laughed twice, and continued to work hard.
Yuhe looked funny, and said: "It's also a person who is used to looking at Mai, and when he sees his wife and son, he doesn't say anything, and when he sees the young lady, he salivates and shouts that the peony is so cute, and when he sees you, he doesn't dare to chew it, and when he sees Shu'er, he pretends not to see it, and he loves to bully me and Kuan'er." ”
"This flat-haired beast is the same as a human, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, don't look at it small, you know it in your heart. There was such a big movement last night, and it dragged its neck to watch, and it didn't say a word. Mother Lin pointed to the door of the main room, "Did the young lady sleep well last night?" Haven't woken up yet? ”
Yuhe nodded and said, "I slept well, I just went in and took a look, and I slept soundly." ”
Mother Lin beckoned her over, and said in a solemn voice: "I estimate that around this morning, someone from the family will come to visit the young lady in the afternoon at the latest." Madame and Son-in-law will definitely not allow the young lady to talk to the family alone, and they will also keep an eye on us, and they are not allowed to tell us about last night's events. Then we have to cooperate, and we must think of telling the family about yesterday's events. ”
"Maybe Mother Li and Laneige got orders last night to keep an eye on us." Yuhe nodded again and again, and the two discussed the possible situation in a low voice, and were about to act separately, when the door of the right wing room was quietly opened, and Mother Li stood at the door with an inquiring face and smiled: "Yo, what are the old sisters and Miss Yuhe talking about?" ”
Yuhe didn't speak, turned around and went to the yard, took a gourd scoop and scooped the overnight water in the big water tank, carefully watered more than a dozen peonies, and checked whether the paper bag on the peony yesterday was still in good condition.
Mother Lin said with a calm face: "What do you say?" But that is to say, the young lady has an unstable sleep at night, and has nightmares and fever, and I am about to go to the upper room to ask the lady to send someone to ask the doctor. And today I am afraid that there will be rain, so I have to build a shed for these flowers, otherwise a rain will fall, and the flowers will be unsightly. ”
Mother Li frowned, her face full of worry: "Oh, the young lady's body is too weak. "But he didn't say that he went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Qi and ask for a doctor.
Mother Lin didn't care about her, and told Yuhe: "I'll go to the room now, and when they get back breakfast, you must persuade the young lady to eat something anyway." ”
Yuhe said worriedly: "Mom, then you come back early." I'm afraid I won't be able to do it alone. ”
Lanzhi poked his head out from behind Mother Li and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuhe, aren't there still me and Mother Li?" You're busy, I'll go in and serve the young lady. As he spoke, he walked to the door of the main room.
Yuhe stepped forward to stop him, and said sarcastically with a cold face: "I don't know where my sister learned the rules, the young lady didn't sleep last night, so you went to sleep quietly first, and we couldn't find anyone to do things." At this time, the young lady has not slept all night, and it is easy to fall asleep, but you are going to go in and serve? ”
Lanzhi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he quibbled: "I followed my wife to get ginseng tablets last night, and when I came back, the young lady had already slept, so I didn't dare to go in and serve." At this time, I don't know that the young lady hasn't woken up yet, they are all serving people, can you just say it? ”
Yuhe sneered and stretched out his hand towards Lanzhi: "What about the ginseng slices that my sister took?" Bring! I was about to give the young lady sencha. ”
Lanzhi saw that Yuhe had changed his previous smiling and flattering appearance, and he was working with himself one nail at a time early in the morning, and his anger rose from his heart at the moment, and he turned to attack: "Yuhe! Don't take yourself too seriously! Madame assigned me and Mama Li to serve the young lady, but we didn't let us do the decorations. What do you mean by taking care of everything in this house and not allowing us to serve the young lady? Are you afraid that we will curry favor in front of the young lady and compare you to you? ”
"I'm afraid of anyone who will compare me! I don't want anything. Yuhe sneered: "Sister Lanzhi wants to prove that she is not an ornament, so please take out the ginseng pieces first." I fried ginseng tea, so I can ask the young lady for credit for you. ”
Laneige is just casually quibbling, where did he get this ginseng piece? Seeing this, Li's mother hurriedly said, "Isn't the ginseng slice in the tea room?" Don't say a word, arguing with the young lady is not a trick. ”
"Who wants to quarrel with her?" Lanzhi hated: "Mom, you also saw it, she didn't have a good word early in the morning, and deliberately provoked." ”
It's a deliberate provocation, what's the matter? You're still to come. Yuhe smashed the gourd scoop in his hand to the ground, splashing the corners of Lanzhi and Li's mother's skirts everywhere, and then turned around and glared at Sang and scolded Huai: "Dead bird!" I'm a flat-haired beast.,Learn to talk in the morning.,Learn to learn when you learn.,It's not good to learn.,It's a beast in the end! ”
Shake was bluffed to the core, and then he was furious, and replied: "Brute! Brute! ”
Lanzhi lifted her skirt in distress and said angrily: "Who are you scolding!" ”
Yuhe smiled: "Scold the beast!" What does my sister have to say? Don't you want me to curse the beasts? ”
Laneige wanted to quarrel with her, but this quarrel was tantamount to acquiescing to being a beast, and if she didn't want to make noise, she really couldn't bear it, so she picked up the gourd scoop on the ground and strode towards the water tank, intending to scoop a scoop of water and pour it on Yuhe.
Seeing this, Yuhe shouted: "Laneige! The water was specially kept by the young lady to water the flowers, and if you go out of the pool, you can't afford to pay for ten! ”
Laneige sneered: "Who are you bluffing, isn't it just a scoop of water?" Where is there no water in this house? Hugh wants to say that a scoop of water, even ten jars, I can afford to lose. ”
Yuhe laughed: "Then you can try it." ”
Peony had already woken up, and had been listening to the movement outside with his ears pricked up, and when he heard that it was a big noise, he coughed. Yuhe hurriedly threw Lanzhi and pushed the door in, poured half a cup of warm water and handed it over: "But the young lady got cold last night?" ”
Peony shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's good to let them hold their breath in their hearts, but you also have to be careful not to suffer losses first at this time." ”
Yuhe smiled: "It's okay, the slave knows it." Young lady, the meal will be delivered later, and the slaves and maids will let them in and serve you. You'll have to eat some of it anyway. ”
Peony said: "I can't eat this meal at all this morning." ”
Yuhe frowned and said, "How can you do it if you don't eat?" You didn't eat last night. ”
Peony smiled: "You come here with your ears." ”
Before the two of them could say a word, they heard Mother Lin say in surprise outside: "Young lady, Madame sees you here!" ”
"So early?" Peony knew that this "lady" must not be Mrs. Qi, but Mrs. Cen, He Peony's mother-in-law.
