New books rush to the list, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.

"What whispers does Xiaohua bite?" Bai He finally asked.

There is no need to hide this, Mo Zi told Bai He about Zhang's thoughts in 1510.

In the end, it is chaotic to care, and Bai He, who is usually as steady as the little sister, was shocked, "If this thing is true, wouldn't the girl be allowed to be married casually?" ”

"Xiaohua has a good memory, it should be true. Also, how can it be so good to help our girl find a good family in Shangdu? Mo Zi had expected it, and said unhurriedly, "Although I invited the girl to go tonight, first, it was a family banquet, and the serious eldest lady did not attend, how could there be a seat for the girls, and secondly, as Mrs. thought, let Liuniang press our girl's head forward, and I can't say that I have any suffering." ”

"Mo Zi, what can I do about this?" Bai He is as meticulous as a hair and can keep his daily life in order, but he is too kind to deal with intrigues.

"When you see the girl later, tell her every word, at least she knows what she knows." However, Mo Zi guessed that Qiu Sanniang would lose her temper first. Qiu Sanniang's temperament, even if she has been honed outside, is born fierce. Originally, there was no room for a grain of sand in his eyes. After returning to this home, let her persuade Xiao to make a big plan if she can't bear it, so she is much more restrained.

Bai He sighed, "Now that the wives of the whole house have the final say, I really don't understand why she doesn't like our girls so much." The account books, money, and stamps have all been handed over, and the girl is staying in her own small courtyard, is it not obedient enough? ”

"Who made the girl too capable in the past?" As long as Qiu Sanniang is in this house for a day, she will be a thorn in the side of some people. "I'm afraid that the old man will be in good health and change his mind again. Anyway, the master really thinks that our girl is the pearl in his hand. ”

"Master, that's probably all there ......" Bai He suddenly realized that he was speechless, and coughed in embarrassment, "You let me tell the girl, what about you?" ”

Mo Zi is a second-class girl, but Bai He also knows that she is very smart. Since Mo Zi entered the mansion, the important things have been handed over to her to do, and even the jade plate out of the mansion can be entrusted at will.

"I'll inquire about your guests again." Mo Zi pointed to the east gate of Qiu Mansion.

"Going out of the house? It's a little late at this hour, isn't it? "Bai He looked at the sun.

"If you don't leave the house, you can just wander around. You hurry back, lest the girl come out of Jiuniang, one by two, and there will be no shadow. Mo Zi originally wanted to go with Bai He, but Bai He inadvertently said a vegetarian banquet, which made her guess.

"Where's Xiaoyi?" Bai Lotus doesn't care about Mo Zi. These four girls are all assertive, and they are still used to their own young ladies.

"Just came down from a tree, and I've already given her back. But I don't know what tree she fell asleep in again, forgetting my words. "Mo Zi is not sure, it has happened a few times so far, and I don't bother to count it.

"That girl, only when she goes out with the girl, is she active." Bai He smiled and shook his head.

was about to turn around, but Mo Zi stopped again.

"Bai He, what's in the food box?"

"It's the mille-feuille ice cream that the girl loves to eat. I also added the powder made from ground green tea according to your idea, and it tastes good. Save some for when you come back and eat it, and help me evaluate whether it's good or not. Although Bai He is unheard of, her pursuit of cooking skills is far from her character, endless and bold.

Mo Zi suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to take away the top grid.

"Where are you going?" Bai He was angry and funny, and Mo Zi even took the lid on the top.

"A man-eater's mouth is short." Mo Zi had already skirted the ivy-covered wall.

Bai He couldn't do anything, took out a handkerchief, carefully covered the food box with a missing top, and walked quickly into his yard.

The east gate of Qiu Mansion is also the main gate, which is naturally in the outer garden.

is different from Mo Zi's perception of history, and perhaps because Qiu Fu is a merchant, there is no very strict difference between men and women in the inner and outer gardens. The ladies of the inner garden often walk around the outer courtyard on weekdays, but even if they go to the outer garden, no one will make a fuss. As for the maids, as long as they have the master's instructions, they can also come and go freely. However, the female dependents of the back garden must get Zhang's permission to leave the house.

Qiu Sanniang is a special case of the Qiu family. Master Qiu took back the account book stamp, and left the jade plate for this daughter. confessed to Zhang's family, saying that Sanniang went out to do business with him since she was a child, which is different from the average daughter's family, since she has no longer care about the family's livelihood, she is allowed to move around.

Zhang's got watermelon, but the sesame seeds were big in front of this, so how could he not agree. Looking at the past six months, Sanniang has not been out of the house alone, at most she sent the girl to buy snacks outside to eat, not many times, and she went back immediately. Zhang sent people to stare at it a few times, but found nothing, so he was relieved.

Therefore, Mo Zi showed the jade plaque to the mother-in-law in charge of the garden gate, and the mother-in-law didn't ask, so she let her enter the echo gallery.

At the end of the long, narrow gray-walled corridor, a round bronze door is pushed open, all the way to the east. I saw those who trimmed flowers and cut grass, fed birds and cleaned, and those who came and went under the garden porch, most of them were small servants. Among them, the maid and maid woman in cloth and hairpin are led by the housekeeper to work, and the group goes out and in groups. Peugeot also has a ring, most of them are brought out from the inner courtyard by the masters, and they serve with them, and they will not come out to visit the garden. Moreover, the outer garden is the study account room to be the living room, as well as the residence of the stewards and their families, which is more than half smaller than the inner garden, only a front hall garden, half an acre of lotus pond, and a two-story pavilion for the banquet of the gentlemen.

In the evening, the servants who were in the outer garden went out from the inner garden, and the maids who were waiting beside the lord came in from the outer garden, and the door was locked. If there is no special brand of servant servant, the outside can't get in, and the inside can't get out.

There are still rules, but it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night.

Although Mo Zi paid attention all the way, no one paid attention to her. Because of that old clothes, she bent down and bowed her head, in the garden where the flowers were more vivid than the leaves in the spring light, her sense of existence was darker than the shadow of the leaves.

Hearing the babbling music coming from the wild goose building, it was probably Qiu Si calling friends to drink, and recruiting prostitutes from somewhere to play.

What a pair of brothers. One plays inside, one outside.

Mo Zi hung her head, her cold eyes froze, and the corners of her mouth curled up in mockery.

At the east gate, an old man and a young porter were sitting on a bench under the window and gossiping.

"Tian Da, Erya." The ink purple and gray tone was gone, and he smiled sweetly and shook the vermilion lacquer box, "See what delicious food I brought you here?" ”

The one called Erya, two years younger than Mo Zi, has two little tiger teeth and white flowers, and speaks sweetly, "Only a good sister thinks about our hard work." I took it, opened the lid, and couldn't wait to put a piece of cake in my mouth.

Tian Da is in his forties, has a strange temper, speaks easily and offends people, and stays in the gatehouse for 20 years.

No, as soon as he saw Mo Zi, he blackened his face, muttered, and muttered to himself, but it was clear to people, "Our house gate is a dog hole, a cat or a mouse, slippery in and out." ”

"Uncle, Sister Mozi has a jade plate." Erya is clever, hurry up and pull Tian Da to prevent him from talking nonsense.

"What's wrong with the jade plate? If this is a man, I won't let a fart go. A woman's family wants to run out when she sees the sky. Our Qiu Mansion is a big household in Luozhou, and the maid ring who serves in front of any master is worthy of the young lady in the small portal outside. Showing his head is plain for outsiders to laugh at. Let's be the gatekeepers, and we feel ashamed. "Tian Da doesn't say what he should say, and he doesn't say what he shouldn't.

Erya scolded in his heart, you are a doorman, a ghostly face. Can a jade medal be taken by a person? In addition to his wife, there are three girls in the inner garden. And Mo Zi is the one who most often holds the sign in front of the third girl, and in his eyes, he is the same as half of the master. But any girl who is proud in front of Mrs. Miss and Young Master, he has seen too much and shook her face.

Erya was afraid of provoking Mo Zi and turned his face, so he hurriedly laughed, "Sister, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense." ”

Who in this mansion can still be like Mo Zi, thinking about giving them benefits, even if they are just the doorkeepers?
