Chapter 37: Clouds (1)
Xia Ruibei whimpered and held it in her mouth, bit her lip, and looked at Master Xia, it's not when you go out, it's not if you don't go out.
Xia Ruixi sighed, and had to pull Xia Ruibei up: "Beibei, you go to my room to rest first, I'm here to take care of my father, I'll let someone call you if there's something, okay?" Wan'er, take care of the third miss, what's the matter, I'm the only one to ask! ”
Wan'er hurriedly responded, and took Xia Ruibei out half-pulled and half-helped. Xia Jin pointed at Xiang'er and Lan'er with a calm face and said, "You two will also go with you to serve the third lady, if you dare to move other crooked thoughts, be careful that I peel your skin!" See if my horse is fast, or your legs are fast! Xiang'er and Lan'er knew that they wanted to run at this time, so they followed Wan'er with a white face and didn't mention it.
Chun'er whispered to Xia Ruixi about the cause and effect of the incident, and Xia Ruixi looked at Master Xia's painful and haggard appearance, and was very distressed. Xia Jin said again: "Si Shao is really a good person, those two dead girls woke up many people by screaming, it was he who came forward to say that the old man's old illness had recurred and dispersed the crowd, otherwise, where would there be such a quiet?" ”
Xia Ruixi sighed, I was afraid that all the ugly things about the Xia family would be known to Ou Qingjin, and I didn't know what he would think of their family, he was so arrogant, so I was afraid that he would look down on her family even more, right?
Old Man Xia took a long breath and said weakly, "Xixi, come here!" ”
Xia Ruixi hurriedly went over and lay down in front of the bed: "Dad, are you getting older?" Do you want to take some medicine? If you say a recipe, I'll write it down and let someone take it, and I'll boil it right away. "The Xia family's carriage always carries some commonly used medicinal herbs in case of emergency, as long as Master Xia says what kind of medicine to use, she can get it immediately.
Master Xia said: "No need, I'm fine, you can ask someone to go to the box under the pillow in my room to get a few pills and take it." ”
Xia Jin didn't wait for Xia Ruixi's instructions and was busy getting the medicine.
Xia Ruixi said: "Daddy, I know what happened, and it didn't cause serious consequences anyway, so you don't have to worry too much." Beibei is not sensible, she doesn't know the dangers of the world, and she doesn't know the importance of speaking, you don't want to be like her, your body matters. You are the pillar of our family, and you can't fall down. ”
Master Xia shook his head sadly: "You don't know what she said, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!" Obviously, she betrayed and framed Xia Ruixi, and killed Yan'er, but in the end, it turned out that Xia Ruixi implicated her, and everyone was sorry for her, so she never reflected on whether what she did was worthy of others. Several children are all brought up in the same way, why is there such a big difference? Is it really nature?
When encountering such a thing, Xia Ruixi couldn't find anything to comfort Master Xia, so he could only find some jokes from the book to tell Master Xia, and guess with him what the son born to Xia Ruinan looked like, was it more like the Xia family? Or is it more like the Wu family? Is it fat or skinny? Slowly, Master Xia's mood was about to be relieved, and he took the medicine brought by Chun'er and fell asleep.
At this time, it was already the fifth watch, and Xia Ruixi was afraid that Wan'er would not be able to deal with Xia Ruibei, so he ordered Xia Jin to serve Master Xia and persuade Xia Ruibei by himself.
In the morning light, someone was dancing a sword in the courtyard, with a graceful and skillful posture, and his movements were like flowing water, which was Ou Qingjin. He saw Xia Ruixi's master and servant stop to watch him dance the sword, embarrassedly put away the sword, walked ten steps away from Xia Ruixi and hugged his fist: "Second sister, is Uncle Shi better?" ”
Xia Ruixi blessed him: "Thank you for your concern, my father is much better." Thanks to you, it didn't make things worse, and I didn't work for you. The middle of the night disturbs you and makes you smile. ”
Ou Qing hurriedly shook his hand: "This is what I should do, why be so polite?" You don't have to worry about anything else, I've taken care of it. He said that he should have done it, which was tantamount to acquiescing in their relationship. As soon as the words came out, both of them felt that their faces were a little hot.
Xia Ruixi thought for a while, and then said, "I don't know if I can disturb Shibo?" When he got up, I went to apologize to him. She said this without temptation, she wanted to test whether the second master Ou knew about her family's ugly things, and she knew it in her heart, as long as the Ou family had a hint of despising and despising the Xia family, she would retreat immediately, and she would definitely not please Yang Qiu. It's already sad to marry someone you don't like, not to mention that people still wear colored glasses to look at her? Xia Ruixi asked himself if he didn't have that courage.
Ou Qing said solemnly: "The second sister doesn't have to be polite, my father doesn't sleep much at night, and he needs to drink medicine before he can sleep peacefully, and he will never wake up until dawn after falling asleep, so what happened last night won't disturb him." ”
Xia Ruixi secretly said that it was a fluke, if such an ugly thing was known by the second master Ou, presumably Ah Ke would not be able to please him, and the Xia family would also be despised by him, right?
"Ahem! Cough! What were you two talking about early in the morning? Under the service of the housekeeper Ou Mo, the second master Ou walked out with square steps, looking at the two of them with blazing eyes.
Xia Ruixi hurriedly tightened his cloak to cover up his disheveled clothes, and blessed the second master Ou: "Please forgive me for being rude." ”
Only then did the second master notice that Xia Ruixi was described as haggard, a cloak was from head to toe, and his hair was only loosely curled with sideburns, which was no etiquette at all, and he couldn't help frowning unhappily.
Ou Qingjin knows the temper and character of the second master Ou very well, and knows that the second master Ou pays the most attention to appearance in his life, especially if he can't see a woman lose her appearance. Afraid that he would reprimand Xia Ruixi, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, Xia Shibo suddenly fell at the door of the third sister when he got up to relieve his hands last night, and he scared the third sister. The third sister's girl didn't do anything, ran to the door of the second sister and yelled, the second sister was so anxious that she didn't care about grooming, so she came directly to take care of Uncle Shi and comfort the third sister, and she has been busy until now, so ......"
When the second master Ou heard this, his expression eased slightly, and he said to Xia Ruixi: "It's a good thing that you are filial, but you are too flustered, if you really encounter a big event, how can you see people like this?" In the future, you should pay attention, don't lose your femininity. ”
Xia Ruixi responded with a sigh, glanced at Ou Qingjin gratefully, took what he just said to heart, and planned to unify with Xia Ruibei, Xiang'er, and Lan'er after going back, and completely suppress this ugly matter.
Seeing that she was standing in a panic and didn't dare to leave, the second master Ou was still satisfied with her docility, stroked his beard and said, "You have been busy all night, go back and rest quickly." Don't worry about your father, Qingjin will take care of it for you. ”
Xia Ruixi was like Feng Lunyin, and he volunteered to return to the room without mentioning it.
And after Xia Ruibei went to Xia Ruixi's room last night, she has been sitting on the bed, no matter how Wan'er persuades her, she refuses to sleep, just doesn't say a word, and tears silently.
Wan'er persuaded her a few times, but she was also tired, thinking that as long as Xia Ruibei didn't look for death and didn't run away, she would complete the task given to her by Xia Ruixi. At the moment, he no longer persuaded him, he brought a stool and sat at the door, instructed Lan'er and Xiang'er to do things, asked them to fetch hot water to wash Xia Ruibei's face for a while, and asked them to pour tea for Xia Ruibei for a while.
Lan'er and Xiang'er were actually tired, and they didn't feel sorry for Wan'er for instructing the two, but because they had just done something wrong, they were afraid that the master would be severely punished, and they didn't dare to offend the big girl next to the second lady again, so they could only swallow that breath raw, obediently, and touted Wan'er sweetly with their small mouths, Lan'er handed over a cup of hot tea and said in a low voice: "Sister Wan'er, do you drink tea?" After being busy for half a day, I must be thirsty. ”
Wan'er didn't take the tea, and scolded in a low voice: "The serious master is still sitting there crying, I don't dare to drink this tea." It's all instructed by you little hooves, and the family is not at peace in the middle of the night. You wait and see, if the master is good, don't talk about it, if the master has three long and two short, you two will wait to be buried! She has been very honest during this time, Xia Ruixi is much better to her, and other subordinates have to look up to her in their eyes, she is much more decent, and she can't help but call herself a first-class maid, and reprimand these two girls who she has long been displeasing to the eye.
Hearing that she was going to be buried with the two of them, Lan'er was shocked, her hand shook, and she poured the hot tea on her hand, but she didn't dare to throw away the cup, so she could only change her left hand to her right hand, and her right hand to her left hand, holding her red hand and blowing for air.
Xiang'er wanted to be calmer, and said with a smile: "Sister Wan'er, you and we both have the same fate, and you don't know the difficulties of serving people?" What does the master want to do, where do we have the ability to stop it? Even if it's just to say more, it depends on whether you have enough guts. You are a blessed one, and my sisters are counting on your blessings to save their lives. If you help the little sisters, filial piety is indispensable in the future. As he spoke, he took out a silver hairpin and gave it to Wan'er: "This is what Miss rewarded when she was happy, I was reluctant to wear it, I never wore it, you are better than me, so I gave it to my sister to wear." ”
Lan'er also said while blowing her hand: "Yes, yes, now that the old man is sick, it is the second miss who is in charge, you are the celebrity next to the second miss, can you help us say something?" We must treat you like a grandmother, you shout to the east, we will never dare to go west. I have a great rouge there, so I'll send it to my sister when I change the time. ”
Wan'er squinted her eyes: "I'm just a slave, I can't afford to be respected like you, I'm afraid of losing my life." Both of you grew up in the capital? Wan'er was particularly impressed by the Tang Pozi who gave her rouge at the beginning, thinking that people in the capital do things like this, and they love to buy people with money. She thought that these two girls were similar to Mrs. Tang, and she must have spent a lot of time in the capital if she was not from the capital.
"Of course. I've been in Kyori since I was five years old. Lan'er is a little proud, she and Xiang'er belong to the kind of people who have been picked out by the people in the capital since they were children, specially trained for large families, delicate appearance, clever and well-behaved, no matter needlework, kitchen work is done very well, people are sophisticated, and they have been specially trained. The price of a maid like this is two or three times or even four or five times that of an ordinary girl, so they also feel that they are more decent and knowledgeable than ordinary girls, and they inevitably speak and act with a little pride.
Wan'er saw Lan'er's smug appearance, and felt very uncomfortable, the girl she bought in the capital was amazing, and Ding Qitian was not the same girl as her. Look at how she cleans up these two girls who don't know the height of the sky.
