Although it is early winter, the wax plum of the county king's mansion has bloomed in advance, and the elegant fragrance of flowers is in the cold air, which is very good.

Yu Aimei is more than a year older than Yu Yu, and she entered the county king's mansion two years in advance, and now she is on an errand at the inner courtyard steward Xia's mother.

When I arrived at the door of Xia's mother's yard, Yu Yu just knocked on the door, and the door was opened from the inside, and a girl with big eyes and a sweet face stood in the door, it was Yu Aimei!

Yu Aimei is sweet-looking, and her voice is also very sweet, seeing Yu Yu standing outside, she suddenly squinted her eyes and laughed, and raised the oil paper bag in her hand for Yu Yu to see: "Yu Yu, you came just in time, Fang Caixia's mother ordered me to go to the eldest girl to deliver something, the eldest girl rewarded me with a pack of mints, I thought you love to eat, and I was about to send you half a pack!" ”

Yu Yu also smiled and said softly: "I'm looking for you too!" ”

Yu Aimei saw Qingcha standing behind Yu Yu, and recognized it as Yu Yu's little follower Qingcha, so she said hello: "Qingcha, you are here too!" ”

Qingcha hurriedly curtsied: "Sister Aimei is good!" ”

Ai Mei pulled Yu Yu and Qing Cha and walked inside, and said as she walked: "There is a brazier in the tea pavilion outside the hall, let's go to the tea pavilion to bake the fire!" ”

Yu Yu hurriedly whispered, "Mother Xia is also here, right?" ”

Ai Mei smiled and said: "Mother Xia loves to be lively the most, and she won't think we are noisy; Besides, Mother Xia is in the hall, let's be in the tea pavilion outside, and it's not in the way, let's go! ”

Yu Yu and Qing Cha followed Aimei to the hall house.

There is a thick cotton curtain hanging on the door of the hall, and when the cotton curtain is opened, a hot air mixed with the fragrance of tea comes to the face, which is warm and dry, and it smells very good.

At this time, Mother Xia was sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting with Mother Yang, the second son's nurse, and when she saw that Aimei had brought two little girls in, she smiled and said, "You children can play freely, don't worry about our two old things!" ”

Yu Yu and Qing Cha hurriedly curts.

Mother Yang fixed her eyes and saw the two girls who came in with Aimei, the younger one was born ordinary, but it was fine; The other taller one has better skin than snow, and his eyes are like stars, full of water, and he smiles slightly, which is extremely sweet.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised-when did such a beautiful girl come into the county king's mansion?

Seeing Mother Yang like this, Mother Xia smiled knowingly, pointed at Yu Yu and said, "This is sent by Mother Jin from Beizhuang, and now she has been assigned to serve in Lingxiao Academy, and she is also waiting for the second son!" ”

Mother Yang nodded, but didn't say much.

She looked like she was only in her thirties and forties, she seemed to be older than Xia's mother, she was born beautiful and gentle, and she should be a rare beauty when she was young.

Mother Yang didn't seem to like to talk much, and sat there with a slight smile and leaned on the soft pillow to talk to Mother Xia.

Yu Yu bowed, and then went out of the hall with Qingcha and Aimei, and entered the tea pavilion surrounded by the corridor of the hall.

The three of them sat down around the brazier and chatted casually.

Aimei gave the mint candy to Yu Yu and Qing Cha, and the three of them roasted the fire and ate the mints, whispering gossip, which was also pleasant.

Yu Yu slowly led the topic to Yueyin: "Aimei, how much Yueyin have you saved?" ”

Aimei smiled and compared a ten, and said, "I have saved a whole ten taels of silver!" ”

Hollyhock listened to it and admired it very much: "Aimei, you are so amazing!" ”

Aimei smiled and asked Yu Yu: "Yu Yu, how much silver have you saved?" ”

Yu Yu smiled slightly and said, "One tael in August, one tael in September, I have saved a total of two taels of silver!" ”

She deliberately put the accent on the words "August" and "September" to get Aime's attention.

When Aimei heard this, she thought about it and asked, "Yuyu, where is your moon silver in October?" ”

Yu Yu didn't speak, sighed deliberately, and lowered his eyes.

Qingcha has always cooperated with Yu Yu Yu, and immediately smiled lightly, and said: "Sister Aimei, the four third-class maids in our Lingxiao Courtyard have not issued the monthly silver in October, Sister Shui Jing said that Mother Xia said that the monthly silver of the four of us will not be issued for the time being, and we have saved enough for three months to send it together!" ”

When Aimei heard this, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for Mother Xia to withhold your money!" ”

Aimei's voice was a little loud, and Mother Xia and Mother Yang in the hall heard it over there.

Xia's mother called Aimei: "Aimei, what's wrong?" ”

Aimei shook Yuyu's hand, got up and entered the hall, walked to Xia's mother, and said a few words in a low voice.

When Mother Xia heard this, she knew that the two little hooves of the water lotus in Lingxiao Courtyard had something wrong again, so she looked at Mother Yang with a smile.

She is the old lady's person, so she naturally stands on the side of the old lady.

Mother Yang is the nurse of the second son, but she is the prince's person, and she has always been in charge of the affairs of Lingxiao Courtyard.

Mother Yang took a sip of the teacup and instructed Aimei: "I know about this matter, don't mention it again!" ”

Aimee agreed.

Mother Yang said again: "You call Yu Yu in, I'll ask her a few words!" ”

Aimei hurriedly went out to call Yuyu.

Yu Yu walked in, her eyes were clear, and she looked at Mother Yang neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Mother Yang leaned on the pillow and leaned on the brocade couch, looked at Yu Yu carefully, and asked, "Do you know how to do needlework?" ”

Yu Yu nodded, looking at Mother Yang with bright eyes.

Mother Yang said: "Seeing that it's time for the New Year, I want to make a white silk jacket, but I can't get my needle and thread all the time......"

Yu Yu smiled slightly: "If Mom doesn't dislike it, I can try!" ”

Mother Xia and Mother Yang are both stewards of the inner courtyard of the palace, if these two mothers have a good impression of her, her life in the county palace will be better.

Mother Yang smiled: "Thank you so much, you can go to me in the evening to get white silk, water cotton and silk thread!" ”

Yu Yan smiled: "I don't know where my mother lives?" ”

Mother Xia smiled and said: "She is the second son's nurse, and naturally lives in Cuiweiju, the courtyard of the second son's study, which is on the east wall of Lingxiao Courtyard, just ask!" ”

Ai Mei sent Yu Yu and Qing Cha away, and when they arrived at the gate, she held Yu Yu's hand and whispered: "Thank me, I came out for you......"

Yu Yu gently squeezed her hand: "Sister Aimei, thank you, let's rot in our stomachs about this matter!" ”

She naturally knew that Aimei was helping her, so she didn't want to drag Aimei down.

Aimee laughed.

She has a chivalrous spirit in her character, and she can't see any injustices in the world.

After chatting for a while, Yu Yu saw that it was almost noon, and was afraid of delaying the lunch for Shui Lian and Shui Xuan, so she waved goodbye to Ai Mei and walked towards Lingxiao Courtyard with Qingcha.

When he arrived at a secluded place, Yu Yu raised his hand and knocked on Qingcha's head, pursed his lips and smiled.

Qingcha touched her head and smiled.

Back in the small courtyard, Yu Yu found that Xiuyun was still crying, and couldn't help sighing.

If you encounter a problem, if you just cry, you won't be able to solve any problem.

Instead of wasting time by crying, think of a solution to the problem!

In the evening, Yu Yu found a vacancy and went to Cuiweiju, the outer study of the second son on the east partition wall of Lingxiao Courtyard, with Qingcha.

Unexpectedly, Lingxiao Courtyard and Cuiweiju are just separated by a wall, but the direction of the gate is very different, and Yuyu and Qingcha actually took a long detour to arrive at Cuiweiju.

Lin Jia's little servant A Qing was waiting at the gate of Cuiweiju on the orders of Mother Yang, and when she saw Yu Yu and Qing Cha coming, she stepped forward and said, "Which of you is the Yu Yu that Mother Yang is looking for?" ”

Yu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand and said playfully: "It's me!" ”

Ah Qing recognized Yu Yu as the little maid who helped in the early morning that day, but refused to tell the truth, led Yu Yu and Qing Cha into Cuiwei Ju, and went straight to Yang's mother's residence in the East Side Courtyard.

Mother Yang put the prepared white silk, clear water and a few plates of silk thread on a piece of royal blue brocade, wrapped it in front of the jade gardenia and the tea, and said with a smile: "It is worn by young people, it is about this height and width......"

After she made a few strokes, Yu Yu guessed that she was going to make a white silk jacket for the second son, but she didn't say it thoroughly, and carefully remembered the size that Yang's mother said.

In the next few days, Yu Yu returned to the small attic where he lived after cleaning Lingxiao Courtyard every day, and began to sew the white silk jacket explained by Yang's mother, but on the seventh or eighth day, Yu Yu made this white silk jacket and sewed a pair of embroidered cushions with the remaining materials.

That night, Yu Yu wrapped the white silk jacket and the pair of embroidered cushions with the royal blue satin, quietly went downstairs to call for tea, and the two went out together and sent it to Cuiweiju to Mother Yang.

Mother Yang took it and took a closer look, and found that the size was just right, the stitches were fine and just right, the water sponge was spread very evenly, and the jacket was clean, and she was very satisfied, and nodded again and again: "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”

Looking at the pair of embroidered cushions again, she was even more satisfied, and her eyes were quite kind when she looked at Yu Yu - Yu Yu, a little girl, did a good job and didn't say it, and she was not a greedy and cheap person, and her mind was also clever - this pair of cushions was placed on the circle chair in the second son's study, which was really good!

Yu Yu said with a smile: "A little work, it's good if my mother doesn't dislike it." If there is a life in the future, my mother will tell me. ”

Mother Yang said softly: "Yuyu, if you have time, come to my side to chat with me." ”

Yu Yu smiled and said, "When the time comes, don't think I'm annoying!" ”

Mother Yang put the white silk jacket back on the side, let Yu Yu and Qing Cha sit down next to her, and asked about Yu Yu and Qing Cha's background.

Yu Yu thought of the past and hated it, didn't want to mention it, and said with a smile: "In order to provide for my brother's education, my father and mother sold me." ”

Mother Yang couldn't help sighing and said: "Our Da Zhou is not good at this, as if the son is the moon in the sky, and the daughter is the mud on the soles of the feet, for the sake of the son, the daughter can sell it at will, alas! ”

Yu Yu felt the same way, and said: "I just hope that one day in the future, the atmosphere of the Great Zhou can be changed, and sons are as important as daughters!" ”

Mother Yang asked about the tea again.

Qingcha is a child born in the family, and the whole family works in the prince's Zhuangzi, whether it is a boy or a child, and when he reaches the age, he will be sent to serve in the palace, but there is nothing to say.

Knowing that Qingcha was arranged by Xia's mother, Yang's mother was relieved.

The three of them were gossiping, and A-Qing's voice came from outside: "Mom, the second son is back, and the second son hasn't had dinner yet!" ”
