Xiuzhu unfolded the basket so that his aunt Li Mei could see most of the things in the basket, "This is a plum blossom, Miss said to pick more, and go back and make more rouge." ”

Mrs. Gu glanced at the hand of the bamboo cultivator, and saw that it was really full of plum blossoms, and all of them were fresh and beautiful, and asked, "When did the two girls come?" I divided a part of the people here to go home with the old men to worship their ancestors, and there was no one in the courtyard to greet the two. It's rude to say......"

Xiuzhu Zitan hurriedly shook his head and said directly: "Mrs. Gu is polite, Miss ordered early, it was the slaves and maids who were naughty, and they only cared about picking flowers along the way, and missed the time." As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin. ”

Saying that, Xiuzhu asked again: "Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin are going out?" ”

Mrs. Li Mei and Miss Gu were stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other. Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Yes, we are talking about the end of the old lady's ancestor worship, and we plan to go with Jin'er to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady." ”

He Yunjin heard his mother say this, and nodded behind his aunt again and again, as if to say: Yes, that's it.

Xiuzhu glanced quickly behind them, lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Zi Sandalwood had already smiled and said, "Then the slave maid will not disturb Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin." As he spoke, he pulled Xiuzhu and stepped aside. When the mother and daughter went out, they followed, and then carefully closed the door.

At this time, the two maids in Mrs. Gu's courtyard hurried over, one was listening to the rain, and the other was wearing a green skirt, with a pink and white complexion, which looked quite beautiful.

Seeing the master at the gate, the two figures were a little stunned, and they all stepped forward to confess.

Mrs. Li Mei waved her hand indifferently, and walked away with the two maids, gradually moving away.

Xiu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out his tongue at the red sandalwood who sighed long, and blinked: "It's so dangerous!" ”

Zi Sandalwood hurriedly covered her mouth, turned around and pointed to the hidden courtyard door, pulled her to trot all the way, and gradually slowed down when she was far away.

Xiuzhu only felt that his face was starting to heat hot, so he put the basket in the crook of his arm, stretched out two cold little hands, rubbed both sides of his face, and then shimed his hands with his mouth, and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm afraid I'm already back, right?" ”

Zi Sandalwood spent the hour and nodded, "At this time in previous years, Mrs. Tai has already gone back. ”

After speaking, the two of them quickened their pace and walked back, and no one mentioned the matter of the Dark Incense Courtyard anymore.

Back at Miaoxianju, surprisingly, Li Miaoxian still hasn't come back yet, but Lu Ju came back first, and he was rummaging through the cabinets in the house to find something, and Dangui was helping on the side.

It seemed that the search was not going well, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and complained: "This bamboo cultivation is really stingy, what a treasure, it is hidden so tightly!" ”

Xiuzhu butterfly flew in with a basket like a flower, giggled and asked, "Who said bad things about me?" ”

Lu Ju stood up with a smile, "It's a coincidence, the main master is here, so we don't have to work so hard!" ”

"Yes, yes. It's just some plum blossoms, why is it like that? Still hiding, is it for fear that our one who stole you will not succeed? Dangui also smiled and answered.

Xiuzhu raised his head proudly and asked rhetorically, "Why isn't it a baby?" He placed the basket on a nearby table, "Look! ”

After speaking, he walked to the front of the bookcase, "brushed" the large drawer where the paper was placed and opened it, and placed a box and a box neatly.

"Are there many famous ladies in the house? Miss wants to give a gift......"

"How do you know?" Green Ju looked down and counted the sour branch wood carved box in the drawer, and when she heard Xiuzhu's words, she suddenly raised her head and asked.

Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "The mountain people have their own tricks! After finishing the chatter, he immediately looked at the green chrysanthemum with earnest eyes and asked, "By the way, who is here?" ”

Lu Ju smiled and tapped on her head, "You talk a lot, and you still instruct the young lady to do something for you?" I see you...... Just be a demon! ”

After finishing repairing the bamboo, he said to her in detail: "It's strange to say, it seems that the number of guests visiting the house this year is at least thirty percent more than in previous years." I can't name many ladies and young ladies ......" said, patted Xiuzhu, and sighed: "You little girl, you care so much!" Rest your little brain, lest you grow tall......" Then he touched her head.

Xiuzhu pursed his lips with a crying voice, "Sister Luju, is this disgusting to me?" ”

didn't wait for an answer, "Miss is in the house, don't you feel distressed in such a situation?" Whose eldest daughter is not living wantonly? ”

Lu Ju and Dangui were stunned on the spot at the same time, thinking about Li Miaoxian's grievances and Mrs. Liu's forbearance since they entered the mansion, they all saw it, and they all took it for granted that the eldest lady's days were like this before she got married.

It's just that none of them thought that they could change.

Xiu Zhu looked at the expressions of the two people, guessed their thoughts, and smiled, "Now there is a chance to change this situation, why don't we try!" ”

Green Ju and Dangui glanced at each other, and then locked their eyes on Xiuzhu at the same time, waiting for the following.

Xiuzhu winked mysteriously at the two of them, and said with a straight face: "Sister Luju, what did Miss make you come back for?" Sister Fleur is there alone, okay? ”

Lu Ju turned around at this time, and screamed "oops" in annoyance, then glanced at Xiuzhu angrily, and said with a smile: "It's all your fault for being a dead girl, such a mess, almost ruined the business." ”

As he spoke, he instructed Dangui to take a light carved tray, first found a piece of red flannel cloth and spread it underneath, and the three of them put more than a dozen boxes of rouge in the big drawer together. Green Chrysanthemum found another piece of red brocade to cover it, and then hurried away.

Xiuzhu chased to the door, looked at her departing back, and shouted: "Let Miss send it generously, don't be stingy." ”

"Miss, don't be stingy!" Dangui followed, looked at Xiuzhu, his expression changed a few times, endured and endured, saw that there was no one left and right, and he couldn't help it, wrapped his arms around Xiuzhu's neck, looked into the distance, and asked in a low voice: "Xiuzhu, do you think Miss's life will be better?" ”

It's not so much that she's asking Xiuzhu, it's better to ask herself, there's little hope......

The corners of Xiuzhu's mouth curled, and he nodded very firmly, "Of course!" Not only Miss, but each of us will get better and better, better and better! ”
