Chapter 25: The Visitor
"Mrs. sent chestnut cakes, and the fourth young master asked my mother to bring my grandmother over to eat."
"Oops." Gu's mother agreed repeatedly, came over and brought Lin Shuang's hat as a second wife's reward, covered with a cloak on the outside, and carried her to the warm pavilion.
The fourth young master was not in the warm pavilion, but at this time, there was a little girl wearing a pink collared jacket sitting in the warm pavilion, and when the little girl saw Gu's mother coming in with Lin Shuang in her arms, she was immediately attracted by the shiny hat on Lin Shuang's head.
"It turns out that the sixth girl is also there."
A girl next to her saluted Gu's mother and explained: "The sixth girl couldn't stay in the room, so the slave took her to play in the garden, and unconsciously went to the bamboo forest. ”
Gu's mother smiled perfunctorily, put Lin Shuang on the edge of the kang, took off her cloak and put it aside, and bent down to take off her boots.
The little girl on the other side of the kang table is a concubine in the third room, the sixth girl Jiacui, four years old this year, looks like a tiger, with frozen red marks on both sides of her face, her eyes are shiny and shiny, and she looks smart. She stared at the top of Lin Shuang's head unblinking from the moment she entered the door, and Lin Shuang's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell.
Gu's mother took off her boots, settled Lin Shuang, and asked the fourth young master's girl, "Where is the fourth young master?" ”
Qin Yu replied to her: "The fourth young master is working hard in the study. ”
Gu's mother said distressedly: "How cold is the study, I'll go and see if the brazier is burning." ”
Qin Yu hurriedly called her: "The second wife is talking to the fourth young master in the study." ”
Gu's mother hesitated for a moment, and said as she walked out: "I'll wait outside, you take care of the fourth grandmother." ”
After Gu's mother went out, the sixth girl's girl smiled at Qin Yu: "Gu's mother is loyal to the fourth young master. ”
Qin Yu rolled her eyelids helplessly and pouted: "No, it's more attentive than taking care of the fourth grandmother, but now it is in line with her wishes, and by taking care of the fourth grandmother, she lives in this Xizhao Courtyard justifiably." ”
The girl understood, and the two smiled meaningfully at each other.
Lin Shuang pretended to be ignorant, lying on the kang table and looking around, looking at this scene in her eyes, thinking that Gu's mother didn't seem to be very popular in Xizhao Courtyard, could it be because she loved the fourth young master too much and provoked the eyes of the girls?
Just this momentary effort, I didn't notice that there was another person staring at her on the other side, Lin Shuang's head suddenly cold, and the hat was taken away by the sixth girl.
The six girls' cleverness was brought into full play, and after she snatched the hat, her round body twisted, and she rolled down from the kang bed, and ran out on the ground with her socks on.
It took the two girls a long time to react, and they screamed together to chase her, the six girls had short legs but fast steps, and they had already run to the door, and were about to step out of the threshold, but they bumped into a person.
"Four girls." After the two girls saw the comer, they stood together and saluted the little girl at the door, and the six girls also looked at her stupidly, not daring to be naughty anymore.
"What about the Fourth Young Master?" A crisp voice asked.
Qin Yu said: "The fourth young master is working hard in the study. ”
The fourth girl sighed: "He is in good health, so he doesn't know how to rest." You go and report it, and say that the third lady from Xing'anbo Mansion has come to visit him. ”
Qin Yu said: "The fourth girl and the third lady will sit in the warm pavilion first, and the slave will go to report, and the second wife is also there." ”
The fourth girl nodded and said to the girl behind her, "The second aunt is also here, let's go to the warm pavilion and wait for them." ”
As she spoke, she came in the door, glanced at the sixth girl who was a little shorter than her out of the corner of her eye, and asked in a light tone, "What happened just now?" So noisy? ”
The girl of the sixth girl hurriedly helped the sixth girl to walk to the room and said, "The sixth girl is playing with the fourth grandmother." ”
The fourth girl, Jiatong, is the second daughter born to the eldest wife, who is ten years old this year, and is like the eldest lady printed in a mold. She is slender and thin, with a pointed face, some dark skin, slightly higher cheekbones, slender eyes, slightly hanging tails, wearing a royal blue satin peony embroidered collared long jacket, a light orange embroidered peony pleated skirt, and a cloak held by the girl behind her.
Although it is also a beauty, it is inevitable that people will feel inactive.
The girl behind her was shorter than her, a small beauty with a pointed goose egg face, skin better than snow, red lips and white teeth, a pair of almond eyes, and a small bag tied on both sides of her head, the small bag was wrapped with fine flower branches, and two chains hung from the bell. She wore a short jacket with honey-colored satin and a beige floral embroidered horse-faced skirt, although she wore a thick one, she could also see that her posture was not bad, her shoulders were thin, her back was straight, her chin was straight, and her demeanor was good.
