Chapter 104: Strategizing (4)

Duan Yingluo and Gu Xiyan glanced at each other inexplicably.

The Liu family is a century-old famous family in Yandi, Liu Meier has received orthodox female moral training since childhood, although Qiu Gui is a personal maidservant, but her parents are the stewards of the Liu family, and she grew up in the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion since she was a child.

When Liu Meier knew the reason why she was sent to Hongtai, she was very reluctant, but she couldn't stand her mother's crying. The mother gave birth to six daughters, the father is getting older, and the family affairs have slowly moved to the hands of the half-brother.

This morning, Siping secretly woke them up and told them in a low voice: "Don't mention the fact that the girl has been to our master's inner room in the future, that is, the concubine has a small sedan chair when she enters the door, look at your girl...... I have a good relationship with your young master, so I will say such rebellious words behind my back. If you can trust me, listen to me, and in the future, you will be close to the two girls of that section and Gu, and have a certificate for each other. If someone asked, they only said that they were sent by their aunt to deliver medicine to their grandfather. Even if there are so many people who think in that direction, Duan and Gu can also talk about it for you, so as not to lose the dignity of the girl...... If something bad gets out, the girl's life will be ruined. ”

Liu Meier also felt that something was wrong after coming to Hongtai, and now when she heard Siping say this, she thought of the scene when her brother married his sister-in-law and took a concubine, he was really ashamed, ashamed, angry and annoyed, and couldn't help but hug Qiu Gui and cry. I didn't expect my parents, who are like treasures to me on weekdays, to do such a thing. Fortunately, it didn't work out, if it ...... It's not as good as having a real estate by yourself. When the time comes, it will be really as Siping said, and his life will be ruined. Either the three-foot white silk broke herself, or she went to the sister-in-law to guard the green lantern for the rest of her life.

Qiu Gui also complained about his old lady. It's no wonder that the girl was asked to come over instead of letting the four girls who had the same father and mother as the young master come over, I'm afraid it was just to prevent this. She couldn't help but shed tears for a long time.

Both of them had swollen eyes from crying. They used cold towels to cover each other's faces for a long time, and then carefully washed them, discussing the idea of taking advantage of the noon time to come to Duan and Gu The two girls walked around, everyone was familiar with each other, and they had a meal together, so they were close and close. Starting

But now seeing the appearance of Duan and Gu's eyebrows, Qiu Gui couldn't help but secretly worry in his heart.

Could it be that these two girls also have something to hide!

Liu Meier didn't think about it that much.

When she heard that Gu Xiyan was not called by Mrs. Wei, her mood was much better.

After all, the aunt hadn't done things so out of line, and she hadn't called all the girls of the right age in the Wei family's relatives to Hongtai to let her son choose, as she imagined. I wasn't so unbearable, and I was picked up like the young lady of the Qin Pavilion in Chulou......

Duan Yingluo's eyes were sharp, and when he entered the house, he saw a faint purple-red mark next to Gu Xiyan's collarbone. Now in front of Liu Mei'er and Qiu Gui, her heart hangs high, for fear that Gu Xiyan will reveal some flaws.

"It's a mess in this house, let's go sit in the outer room!" Duan Yingluo led Liu Mei'er and Qiu Gui to the outer room.

Liu Mei'er knew that this was to give Gu Xiyan time to freshen up, and said with a smile: "I will sit outside with Qiu Gui for a while." Wait for your maidens to wash. After speaking, he took Qiu Gui to the outer room.

Duan Yingluo hurriedly put down the curtain next to the floor cover, and asked Gu Xiyan quietly: "Do you want the mother-in-law to send hot water to wash it." ”

Gu Xiyan's face turned red: "No, no!" As he spoke, he put on the bloated coarse cloth clothes and trousers in a panic.

Duan Yingluo looked at Gu Xiyan's clothes with dull colors and rough workmanship to resist the cold wind. I wanted to ask her to change her outfit, but when I saw that this dress could cover her tightly, I swallowed the words that came to my mouth again.

Compared with beauty, reputation is more important to Gu Xiyan at this time.

helped Gu Xiyan freshen up hastily. Duan Yingluo said softly: "You clean up the futon yourself, I'll go serve tea to Miss Liu." ”

Gu Xiyan blushed and replied in a low voice.

Duan Yingluo just opened the curtain and folded it back, and said in a low voice: "If you feel tired, just put it aside......

Gu Xiyan's face was so red that she was about to drip blood, and she glanced at Duan Yingluo: "You go and get busy with yours!" ”

Despite this, Duan Yingluo hesitated for a while before going out.

Nothing really happened yesterday. Of course, nothing will be left. It's just that the dirty clothes specially made by Mo Ju, Gu Xiyan doesn't know where to put it.

I thought about it for a long time. She crumpled it up and stuffed it into the inner pocket of the big cotton coat.

Anyway, this cotton coat is very swollen, and if you add something, others can't see it.

When it was almost cleaned up, Duan Yingluo was not at ease and found an excuse to come in and take a look. Seeing that although Gu Xiyan's hands and feet were very slow, he didn't show too much effort, so he secretly put his mind at ease.

Gu Xiyan was very grateful for Duan Yingluo's concern.

In any case, in this case, they have to work together to get through it.

Liu Mei'er arrived in Hongtai three days earlier than Gu Xiyan and them, and as soon as they came in, they were placed in this courtyard and stayed, first, they were embarrassed to walk around when they first arrived, and secondly, it seemed that the defense here was very strict, no one cared about them, and the corner door of the second door was often locked. But they were always more familiar with the situation here than Gu Xiyan. When Gu Xiyan came out to see them after finishing grooming, Liu Mei'er proposed that everyone have lunch together, and Gu Xiyan also had the heart to make friends with Liu Mei'er, so she naturally agreed happily.

There is a small courtyard behind the small corner gate between the two houses, as Gu Xiyan guessed, and there are four or five rough women living in it, who are responsible for tea and meals in this courtyard. He was brought to this courtyard on an errand three days ago. Several people have been trembling for the past few days, for fear that one of them will accidentally lose their lives, so they took out all their efforts to solve the problem. As soon as they heard that the women in the front yard were going to eat, several people brought out the dishes that had been prepared long ago.

The dining table is set up in the living room, and several mothers-in-law first serve four cold dishes, mung bean sprouts mixed with egg skin shreds, white chopped chicken, sour duck feet, and five-spice marinated turtle doves. Then eight hot dishes were served, eight treasure belly, hibiscus mutton slices, red rabbit dice, plum steamed pork ribs, mouth grinding stewed chicken loin, crystal shrimp, crucian carp steamed egg custard, and finally brought a dog meat hot pot and four small willow baskets up, the willow baskets were filled with four staple foods: flowering steamed buns, yam cakes, mille-feuille cakes, and jade roasted wheat. A table full of them.

Liu Mei'er and Gu Xiyan sat on the east and west sides of the square table respectively, Duan Yingluo naturally sat next to Gu Xiyan, and almost glared at Qiu Gui's eyes, but unfortunately Duan Yingluo, who has always been used to being served as a girl, has not yet known herself.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh, remembering that when she was in Hongsheng, she asked her to reward the servant, and she was also so indifferent, and finally made people misunderstand that she was the master!

The atmosphere immediately became strange, and Liu Mei'er and Qiu Gui both had unnatural expressions on their faces.

"Miss Liu, don't get me wrong." Gu Xiyan knew that his pair of "master and servant" were too funny, so he hurriedly explained. "You don't know about our family. said that it was a maidservant, that was Sister Duan and I were modest, if it weren't for her, I would have lost my life a long time ago, speaking of which, Sister Duan is still my savior? Then she made up a story and shaped Duan Yingluo into a strange woman with strong martial arts and honesty and trustworthiness. Because he was once inadvertently saved by Wei Huan, he volunteered to take care of Wei Huan's family, that is, himself. The Wei family's family background, she not only did everything possible to support herself, but also did not abandon her uncle after his death. risked her life and sent her all the way to Hongtai to recognize her relatives......

Liu Meier and Qiu Gui were moved to tears by this story.

"So the relationship between me and Sister Duan is not ordinary, and I never talk to her about those false courtesies."

"As it should be, as it should be." Liu Mei'er nodded again and again, "Sister Duan." You're amazing! Could it be that Grandpa Guo is talking to you in a pleasant manner. ”

Duan Yingluo's face turned red.

Gu Xiyan snickered in her heart, but said with a straight face: "Miss Liu, meeting is fate." There are no outsiders here, so let's not be so particular, just let Qiu Gui eat at the same table with us! ”

"How can I compare with Miss Duan!" Qiu Gui hurriedly excused himself, "I'll stand aside and cook for the girls!" ”

"Qiu Gui." Liu Mei'er also spoke. "You just sit down and eat with us. There's no one else here, so let's not stick to those rituals. ”

Long-term lifestyles affect thinking. Qiu Gui didn't agree anyway, and in the end, Gu Xiyan pressed her on the chair: "You and Sister Duan should be companions, otherwise, Sister Duan will feel very embarrassed." ”

Duan Yingluo, who caused the storm, was also busy helping on the side, and the four of them sat down peacefully.

Because of this story, Liu Meier's master and servant's attitude towards Duan Yingluo has obviously improved.

Liu Mei'er picked a fingernail-sized rabbit with ebony gold-inlaid chopsticks and put it in Duan Yingluo's bowl: "Sister Duan, you taste it!" ”

Duan Yingluo's breezy face couldn't help but flash a little uneasy.

Liu Mei'er's food is very small, each dish is only symbolically eaten one or two bites, Qiu Gui is still a little restrained, rarely picks vegetables, hurriedly ate two steamed buns and said that he was full, and got off the table early to make tea for them. Gu Xiyan was worried about his stomach, and didn't dare to let go of his stomach to eat, so he only used a few pieces of yam cake and put chopsticks, and then Duan Yingluo ate a good meal. Seeing Liu Mei'er, she was envious: "Sister Duan is not like the strange woman written in the book, and even eating is better than us." ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't hold back and didn't laugh.

After eating, Gu Xiyan invited Liu Mei'er and them to drink tea on the kang in the inner room.

The weather is cold, and it is also a good place to have a female companion to talk to.

Liu Meier didn't refuse, she was idle anyway, someone said to talk, so as not to be cranky. She went to the kang under Qiu Gui's service.

When Duan Yingluo arrived, he secretly pulled Gu Xiyan to the back when they entered the house, and pointed to the place where the rough mother-in-law lived in the backyard: "I'll go to worship the teacher." ”

"Teacher?" Gu Xiyan was a little puzzled.

Duan Yingluo smiled bitterly: "The way I am now, even Miss Liu, who is ignorant of the world, can see that something is wrong, if she goes to the Yanguo Mansion, it will not be a bad thing." When the time comes, I'm afraid that Grandpa Guo will take my life! ”

"That's not going to happen." Gu Xiyan also felt that Duan Yingluo didn't have any talent for "acting", and said with a smile: "But it's always good to be careful" (4) Read in the library
