Chapter Seventy-Three: Birthday (2)
Chapter 73: Birthday (2)
When the golden hairpin completed the task, he still hated himself so much that his teeth itched. (Apex hand-hitting) back to the upper room. Hearing Cai Guodong talking to Chen in the house, he deliberately walked outside the curtain and said, "Madam, the slave and maid are talking back." ”
Hearing Chen's call, he went in and said with a smile: "The slave maid was ordered by the lady to bring the female masters of Chun Hexuan and Huamanlou to measure the clothes and materials of the young ladies and choose the appearance of jewelry. ”
Cai Guodong was also happy to hear it, and Chen smiled slightly: "Have you chosen what you like?" Tell me what they chose? ”
The golden hairpin wanted to speak and stopped.
Chen frowned and said, "You girl, when did you talk like this?" It's not annoying. ”
The golden hairpin immediately knelt down and cried: "Madam, the slave doesn't know how to do things. Offended Miss Four. ”
Chen secretly thought, the golden hairpin has always been clever, how could he do something wrong and deliberately hit the knife edge? Presumably there is something else going on. glanced at Cai Guodong, and saw that Cai Guodong was expressionless, so he said angrily: "Say it quickly!" What good did you do? ”
Jin Hairpin cried and repeated Mingzi's words one by one, and said: "The slave maid thinks about where she didn't do a good job, so that the fourth lady is unhappy, and the fourth lady will be so angry, and the lady will punish the slave and maid." ”
Cai Guodong said lightly: "Since she said that her clothes and jewelry can't be worn out and used up, that's it." Fold her share to her sisters and do something good. ”
Chen waved his hand to let the golden hairpin retreat. He said in a low voice: "Master, children are inevitably confused. The four girls have always had a bad temper, they love to drill the horns, and they just encountered this incident, so the concubine will go and persuade her in person. When that day comes, everyone will wear new clothes and bring new flowers, and she will be left alone, so what will she do? I'm afraid it's going to be trouble again. ”
Cai Guodong sneered: "Now you and I will be with her, who will be with her in the future?" If you go to your mother-in-law's house, will it be her? Just do as I say! In the future, sooner or later, she will come to greet you, if you don't come, please ask the family law, you can't take care of it, I will take care of it. ”
But it was explained that Zi was waiting for Cai Guangyi to come to see her, thinking that when he came, the two would discuss what to do. I can't go to see my aunt, I can let him go, and then let him beg Cai Guodong.
Who knew that when it was dark, Cai Guangyi didn't come, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and became angry at Xue Ying: "I asked you to send a letter to the third son, did you send it?" ”
Xue Ying was frightened: "I sent it, I sent it, the slave maid personally told Song Ming beside the third prince." Wait a little longer, maybe it's the third son who has something to do? It came later. ”
Mingzi was helpless, so she had to believe her words. When the time comes, the inner courtyard will be locked. Still didn't see Cai Guangyi coming, I couldn't help but be disappointed, and suspected that Xue Ying was perfunctory to her and deceived her, grabbed the teacup and threw it at Xue Ying, scolding: "Shameless thing!" Seeing that I was unlucky, he perfunctory me, didn't he? Step on the low and hold the high dog thing! ”
Xue Ying and Sydney stood there with their heads hung in fear, and a few little girls crowded together and didn't dare to come out, letting her scold. Suddenly, hearing someone knocking on the door, Sydney breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "It must be the third prince who is here, and the slave maid is going to open the door." ”
Mingzi stood up with a "whew", and thought that Cai Guangyi had only come at this time, so he pouted and sat down again, glaring at the door hatefully, just waiting for Cai Guangyi to come in and be coquettish. Who knew that he only heard Sydney whispering a few words to someone at the door, and then he was silent, and hurriedly said suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
Sydney said cautiously: "The third prince said that he can't come to see you these days." If you are fine, remember to go to the room to say hello to the old lady, and read and embroider with the ladies, don't be petty. ”
Mingzi screamed: "Did he really say that? Who will deliver the letter? Why did you say it at this time? Without waiting for Sydney to reach out and pull her. She had already "pedaled" and ran out to chase the person who delivered the letter.
Sydney's lips were snow-white and she looked at Xue Ying: "Quick!" It was the little girl from Miss Five's side who sent the letter. Before the words fell, there were already Mingzi's beatings and scolding and the little girl's crying and begging for mercy outside. The two girls looked at each other, almost wanting to die in one fell swoop.
Chen had just fallen asleep, and Mrs. Yu whispered outside: "Madam, there is a commotion in the Qionghua Courtyard." ”
Chen hurriedly put on his clothes and sat up: "What's the matter?" ”
Mrs. Yu said: "Miss Fourth beat and scolded Miss Five's little girl, Miss Five asked a few words, and there was a dispute, Miss Four pushed her to the ground, and Miss Five's elbows were broken. ”
Chen yawned lazily and said, "Didn't the master rest at the fourth aunt's place today?" Did anyone report it? ”
Mrs. Yu smiled: "Yes, the old man and the four aunts have already gone to Qionghua Courtyard." No one came to Madame's place to report to her, Madame, go to sleep. ”
On the second day, Mingzi did not appear. The fourth aunt proudly pulled Mingpei to greet the Chen family, and everyone understood that Mingzi must have been scolded by Cai Guodong again.
In a blink of an eye, it was Ming Fei's birthday. When she got up in the morning, Hua Pozi and Jiao Tao helped Ming Fei put on a light cyan ribbed narrow-sleeved shirt with a big red and gold half-arm, tied a smoke skirt of the same color, took off the long-lived small gold lock, and changed to an eight-treasure Yingluo collar, with two drop-shaped gold inlaid Nanzhu earrings hanging from her ears, combed a small flowing cloud bun, and pressed a pink purple hibiscus flower with a few gold and jade bead flowers. Pulling left and right, Fang nodded with satisfaction, and called the two new second-class maids named Danxia and Bai Lu to come over and take a look: "Is the third lady a little beauty?" ”
Danxia and Bai Lu were both thirteen or fourteen years old, and they all smiled and clapped their hands: "Yes, yes, Miss is so beautiful." ”
Ming Fei looked at the dim mirror, felt very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Like a flower butterfly." ”
Hua Pozi laughed exaggeratedly: "Nonsense! Butterflies are as beautiful as you! ”
Ming Fei's face was hot, and she slapped the flower woman with disgust. said: "Mom is like smearing honey on her mouth this morning, is she going to reward money?" ”
Before the words fell, the flower lady was blessed, Jiao Tao, Danxia, Bai Lu, Ye'er, Meizi, and the two rough envoys outside all knelt down, and said with a smile: "The third lady is really smart, and she really said to the hearts of the slaves and maids." I wish the third lady to be blessed like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, every year has today, and every year has today. ”
Today can be said to be the happiest day since she came, Ming Fei smiled like a trumpet flower, but deliberately said: "Get up, I look like an old woman." ”
Hua Pozi smiled: "Could it be that Miss Fei San thinks that our auspicious words are not good, and she is reluctant to give a reward?" So what do you think about a few more words? ”
Ye Er let out a "hey" and said embarrassedly: "But the slave can only say these few words." ”
Everyone laughed, Ming Fei personally took out the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the box, rewarded the flower woman and Jiao Tao with two taels of silver each, the four little girls each with one tael of silver, and the rough mother-in-law with five dollars of silver each, and said with a smile: "I'm a moneyless person, so I'm going to buy some fruit to eat." ”
"Third sister, let's go, go to my mother's place to eat longevity noodles! After breakfast, the guests are coming! Mingyu wears a brand-new apricot yellow butterfly pattern jacket. Tie a powder blue skirt, tie two pearl coral beaded headbands in her hair, tie a few colorful streamers, and strode in, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
Ming Fei smiled and took her hand and said, "Go slowly, if you are seen by the eldest brother, you will be said that you are unstable." What should I do if I bump into it? ”
When he arrived at the main room, Ming Fei first kowtowed to Cai Guodong, and then kowtowed to Zhang's tablet. Cai Guodong said a few words with a calm face, asking her to be benevolent, filial piety, and abide by women's morality. Something like a good example for her sisters, and then she relaxed her face and gave her a pair of fine pearl hands ...
