Chapter 17: Into the Snow Courtyard
"Sixth sister, you must be tired after many days of traveling, hurry up and rest, the seventh sister and I have homework to do." Shi Niang had no choice but to come out to play a round, this sixth sister is really not as easy to deal with as she imagined. She was the youngest of the three, well-behaved and obedient, with a gentle smile, which made An Qi quiet down a little.
"Thank you sisters for your kindness." Liuniang smiled slightly, followed behind Nan's mother, and walked towards Ningxue Courtyard.
Along the way, the small bridge and flowing water are beautiful, and the pavilion is fragrant with flowers. Even though the scenery of the Hou Mansion is unique, An Die still lowered her head and maintained that calmness, she did not have the slightest hint of petty family spirit, nor did she have that kind of narrow vision.
"Girl, your cages have been moved in, look at what else you need, the old slave will get it." Nan's mother commanded the maids and servants, working neatly, and after a while, she entered the East Cross Courtyard to report the situation to An Liu.
"There is Lao's mother, Liuniang has just arrived, it may take a little time to ease up, and I ask my mother to say a few more kind words in front of my mother. cough cough ......" said the whole sentence fluently, and added a few coughs at the end, but didn't it deal with what Mrs. Tai said before, An Liu has been weak since she was a child, and the fortune teller said that she can only recuperate in the countryside.
The big girl on the side, Ming Liu, stepped forward and held a delicate emerald green bamboo leaf trimmed purse in her hand, "Mom, this is a little bit of the girl's heart." Nan's mother still wanted to excuse herself, but then she thought about it and made sense. After all, the sixth girl has not been in the house since she was a child, and she just looked stable when she first came, and she was probably still apprehensive in her heart.
"Thank you, Sixth Girl, the yard is cleaned up, I have to go and call back to Madame, Sixth Girl, I'll retire first." Nan's mother knew that An Liu had just arrived, and there were a lot of things in the yard, so she stepped back first and arranged time for An Liu.
"I'm tired of my mother today." sent Nan's mother to the door of the boudoir and said a few more polite words. An Die's face was tired, and she gently put her hand on Ming Liu's arm, "I'm really tired." ”
sighed slightly, the girl who was already thinking about it was still full of clouds, so that Ming Liu's round face was full of worry.
"Silly girl, you have to go through this way." Andie can't deny that she really doesn't like the life of a big family, and after this set of etiquette, people have to be confused.
"Girl, I knew we were in Xuzhou, don't come back." Ming Liu is introverted, and it is not easy to say such things.
"What are you talking about, the girl must have a plan when she comes back, let's just don't make trouble for the girl." Cuiliu took inventory of clothes and jewelry in the back, sorted out all the cages, and locked them.
As soon as I came back, I heard Naruyu's words, and I was a little speechless.
So the sharp-toothed Cui Liu immediately talked about Ming Liu.
"Well, you're all right, in fact, the Hou Mansion, you can go back or not." An Die's heart moved slightly, she was just afraid that she had changed An Liu's trajectory, and she wouldn't be able to go back if she turned back, so it would be troublesome.
Although An Liu's skin is good, what she prefers is to live freely.
"Girl." Cuiliu had something in her heart, and she couldn't hide the worry on her face.
"What's wrong?" An Liu frowned, this delicate beauty, not to mention her eyebrows, even if she has no smile on her face, it can make people feel distressed for a long time.
"We're only in this yard now." As soon as Cuiliu's words came out, An Die also knew about this problem, but this courtyard would not be very quiet.
"The Seventh Girl is back." Mother Liu lifted the curtain and came in and said.
Mingliu and Cuiliu have a lot of opinions about this Liu's mother in their hearts, and they don't respect their own girl at all, look, just like now, they don't need to make a sound, and they come in by themselves.
However, as soon as Liu's mother entered, she glanced at the two big girls out of the corner of her eyes, and Mingliu and Cuiliu both lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to their eyes, which was similar to the current appearance of the six girls.
"Mom, you have worked this trip back, why don't you take two days off?" An Die had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and all the news still depended on Liu's mother, so she continued to curry favor quietly. It's just a verbal flattery, which can make Liu's mother smile.
However, Liu's mother is comfortable, and the maids under her command are living a little better, but they can't make a move outside yet, and they have infighting inside.
"My girl, ......" stopped talking, and An Die's words just now obviously made Liu's mother feel very comfortable, and she pretended to glance at the two big girls again.
Anyway, Liu's mother's eyes are not afraid of deterrence, and the two big girls are waiting for the girl's orders.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Whenever An Die showed this appearance, the two little girls behind her wanted to laugh, this face was innocent, and it was not possible for Liu's mother to say it, not to say it.
Alas, it's just that, it's not an outsider after all.
"Girl, it turns out that we have a marriage contract with Lu Mingxiu, the marquis of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion." With this sentence, Mingliu and Cuiliu immediately reacted.
In fact, this was in his own expectation, An Die frowned slightly, seeing that the two maids behind her were a little nervous, and their palms were slightly sweaty.
"Well, mom has worked hard all day, Mingliu, look at the reward." It's impossible to say how shocked it was, but when things were confirmed, she had to worry again.
I saw a jujube-red begonia flower purse, which fell heavily into the hands of Liu's mother.
"Girl, it's not my mother Liu's verbosity, this is a great opportunity to become a master, you must seize it." Eager eyes, staring at An Die intently.
I can see that Andie's cheeks are slightly dyed with intoxicating pink, and it is really red without rouge.
Although Liu's mother is a little dazzled, it does not affect her appreciation of An Liu at all, this is the girl she brought up single-handedly, if she enters the Pingyuan Hou Mansion and becomes a super first-class Mrs. Hou, then she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.
"I hope my mother can be cautious in her words and deeds." An Die's voice was not loud, soft and soft, but the weight of her words was not light at all.
Mother Liu's hand was worried about the silver and paused slightly. "Yes, girl, I understand." A girl who has always been gentle like water and never says anything heavy, today's sentence is very worthy of Liu's mother's memory.
She looked cautiously at the girl with her eyelids drooping, and after a moment, "Girl, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare some snacks for you." Liuniang nodded, and she slowly retreated.
"Girl......" Cuiliu's personality is more resolute, and the reminder from Liuniang just now can be regarded as a warning. Maybe Liu's mother got a little carried away when she came back, but she didn't open this mouth to help Liu's mother intercede.
"It's okay, she doesn't have the guts for the time being." Liu Niang waved her hand, and the two saluted and retreated.
