Chapter 39 The Splendid Willow Garden
Everyone said yes, laughing is laughing, Liu Jin's wife pulled Qin Wei's wife to sit next to her to guide the card game, but her determination to guide the card game was very persistent, Mrs. Qin had to smile helplessly: "I'm talking to Mrs. Hu here!" ”
Liang Yuan's wife asked the maid to move a chair: "I am the winner...... As long as you have no opinions, I would like to sit here and talk to Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Hu......
Liu Jin's wife naturally didn't follow, pulled Liang Yuan's wife to prevent her from sitting, and begged Qin Wei's wife: "Good sister, let me hurry up and come back!" ”
Hu Xin's wife smiled and pointed at Liu Jin's wife: "You...... There is no such thing as being a lady. ”
Liu Jin's wife leaned on Mrs. Hu's shoulder: "Which lady here is not older than me, what do you want me to do!" ”
Everyone laughed again.
Hu Xin's wife said to Qin Wei's wife: "Go and play with them, otherwise, Mrs. Shen and I will not be able to live in peace." ”
Qin Wei's wife listened, and then returned to the card table with Liu's wife and Liang Yuan's wife, and set up a position in an uproar.

Shen Muqing's face was flushed, he squeezed the four cards in his hand tightly, and watched Liang Youhui throw out a "50,000 Guan".
She hurriedly said, "Is there anyone in charge?" Is there anyone in charge? ”
Ying Fan shook his head, and Zisha also showed a helpless look.
Shen Muqing moaned loudly: "Lost again!" ”
Liang Youhui covered her mouth and smiled.
Shen Muqing, Yingfen, and Zisha lost their cards, and each took out two coppers for Liang Youhui.
Liang Youhui accepted it triumphantly.
Purple yarn began to shuffle.
Shen Muqing looked left and right: "Why don't you see the housekeeper's mother!" ”
Liang Youhui looked nervous: "Let's play cards, we won't delay the business!" ”
Shen Muqing nodded solemnly: "I don't know...... I'm going to see ......."
Liang Youhui hurriedly said: "Go, go!" ”
Ying Fan couldn't help but laugh on the sidelines, giggling.
Zisha's eyes wandered, revealing a clear expression, pursing her lips and smiling.
Liang Youhui looked at Yingfen inexplicably, and then at Zisha.
Zisha said softly: "Miss Shen is not lucky, we might as well rest." ”
Liang Youhui looked suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly pulled Shen Muqing, who was sitting next to him and was served by the little maid wearing shoes: "I'll return the winning money to you, don't be angry!" ”
Shen Muqing said seriously: "You listen to Zisha nonsense." I'm just going to see what's going on out there! ”
Liang Youhui looked at Shen Muqing's eyes full of suspicion, but Zisha smiled and said, "It's okay for Miss Shen to go and take a look." There was a mother just now, and Miss Shen changed her mind as soon as she came back......"
Shen Muqing had the embarrassment of being seen through his thoughts, and turned around and pretended to be unhappy and glared at Zisha.
Zisha was very embarrassed, and smiled at Shen Muqing.
Ying Fan couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed: "Sister Zisha, our girl is playing with you when you are close people!" ”
Zisha looked at Shen Muqing very seriously, and saw that although Shen Muqing had an angry face, there was a smile in his eyes.
She smiled and patted her chest and smiled, "The girl scared me to death!" The tone was different from the nervousness just now, but with a little girl-like coquettishness.
What a character!
No wonder the old lady of the Liang family put the purple yarn beside Liang Youhui to serve.
She couldn't help but glance at Zisha carefully.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has a slender figure, delicate facial features, flexible eyes, wearing a small jacket of aqua blue cotton silk, dark blue armor, a white threaded skirt, a silver hairpin on his head, and a pearl pendant on his ears, like a small flower that blooms quietly at the water's edge, demure and gentle.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "I won't go out again, I'm afraid that this copper in front of me will change masters again!" ”
Liang Youhui heard her amusement and giggled.
Shen Muqing took Luomei to Baoxia.
As soon as they went out, they saw Puyu looking out on the corridor, and when they saw Shen Muqing, she ran away.
Shen Muqing called Buyue: "Go and see, what's going on?" ”
Buyue left in response, and Shen Muqing entered the hugging building.
There are only Mingxia and two maids who have no heads. Mingxia sat on the big kang in the warm pavilion doing needlework, and the two little maids sat around her, turning over the things in the rattan and laughing in a low voice, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing Shen Muqing coming in, the three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted her.
"What is this doing?" Shen Muqing walked over with a smile, picked up the moon-white silk satin, and unfolded it, it was a jacket that was being made.
Mingxia lowered her eyelids: "This was given to me by my wife the year before last." I'm short, make one set, less, make one, and more; Jinxiu is taller than me, but it just happens to make a jacket. I'll take it out and use it for her! ”
Shen Muqing suddenly remembered Xiao Sa's words.
Yes, I was sent to Xiaoliuyuan to recuperate, who knows if the illness will be better. Even if you are cured, can you go back to Anyuan on an errand...... There are people everywhere who are high and low!
Her eyes darkened, and she thought that she hadn't been to see Jinxiu for a while, and asked, "Have you been to see Jinxiu?" How is she? ”
Mingxia paused, looked up and smiled, "It's good." My wife hired a doctor, and the medicine has never stopped. ”
Shen Muqing pondered for a long time and said, "Let's go, let's go see Jinxiu!" ”
Mingxia's face flashed with an uncertain expression.
Shen Muqing saw it in his heart, but he pretended not to know anything and walked straight out.
Mingxia hurriedly ran forward to help Shen Muqing lift the curtain.
Shen Muqing instructed Luomei: "You go and play cards with Miss Liang - just let me have something to do, and I'll come back immediately!" ”
Luomei glanced at Mingxia, and with a little hesitation in her tone, she called Yingsleeve, and asked her to serve by Shen Muqing's side, and then she returned to the main house.
Shen Muqing and a few people went to Xiaoliuyuan.
The small willow garden under the heavy snow is white, and a few branches in the corner of the wall that refuse to admit defeat poke their heads out from under the thick snow, which has a few desolate meanings.
Mingxia explained with a smile: "The family has been busy these days, and the snow has not cleared. ”
Shen Muqing didn't squeak, and knocked on the door of the splendid with Mingxia's support.
It is spring green that comes to answer the door. She was wearing a half-new official green cotton jacket, and she was sweating profusely on a cold day.
When she saw Shen Muqing, her expression was very panicked.
Shen Muqing's face sank, and he pushed away Chunlu and entered the house.
The two-room hut has an earthen stove at the door, and the firewood by the door is neatly arranged, and a clay pot for simmering medicine is placed on it. When I lifted the curtain and entered the bedroom, I saw Jinxiu lying on the kang with her eyes closed and her face flushed.
Shen Muqing looked at the room.
The walls are covered with white paper, the floor is paved with adobe bricks, the windows are pasted with two large red window flowers that are more than old every year, and the half-worn black lacquered furniture is also wiped clean, looking bright and neat.
It's just that there are several blue coarse cloth burdens piled up on the kang corner.
Seeing her eyes fall on those burdens, Chunlu, who was following her, carefully explained, "I'm packing up my things...... are all commonly used by Sister Jinxiu, and there is no selfishness. ”
Shen Muqing turned to stare at Mingxia.
The bright gaze is as cold as the moon.
Mingxia couldn't help but shudder.
After a while, he muttered, "...... In a few days, Manager Zhou will come back, and he will take Sister Jinxiu back to Zhuangzi for the New Year...... On the New Year's Day, she is sick again, and when she goes back, she still has her mother, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, and it is also more lively......"
"Who decided this?" Shen Muqing said coldly.
Mingxia hesitated for a while, and muttered, "Yes, it was Mother Wang who said it." ”
"What happened to Splendid during this time?" Shen Muqing walked to the side of the kang and sat down, looking at Jinxiu, who was sleeping like a sleeping beauty, "You give me the truth...... Otherwise, I'll leave it alone. ”
Mingxia hesitated, but Chunlu suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Muqing: "Girl, Sister Jinxiu will be fine soon, please don't send her away...... Mrs. Zhang let Mrs. Zhang celebrate the New Year, so she went to Zhuangzi to take Sister Jinxiu away...... He also said that if his sister asked, she would say that she was too sick to do so......"
That's to be expected!
Shen Muqing looked at Chunlu sharply: "How do you know?" ”
"Puyu said it." Chunlu looked at Shen Muqing with tears in her eyes, "The slave really didn't talk nonsense. The last time Mrs. Zhang came to see Puyu, Puyu told me - said that Jinxiu would go to Mrs. Zhang's house after the New Year. ”
Shen Muqing snorted coldly: "You really know how clever you are!" ”
When Chunlu heard this, his face turned pale, and he leaned on the ground and kowtowed: "Girl, the slave is really not lying...... Puyu came to the yard that day and said that his wife asked her to come to the small willow garden to pick some snow, so that she could make tea and drink it next year......"
Snow picking in the small willow garden...... The snow on the calyx is not picked, but the snow that falls on the ground......
Shen Muqing pondered.
Mingxia pulled Chunlu up: "What should I do, the girl has her own opinions, and it is not your turn to die or live here." Stand up! ”
Chunlu stood up with sobs and sobbed, wiping her tears and secretly peeking at Shen Muqing's expression.
"When Manager Zhou comes back, remember to tell me." Shen Muqing's expression was as usual, and he instructed Mingxia lightly.
Mingxia cautiously answered "yes".
"Spring green, splendid here, have you been serving all the time?" Shen Muqing asked Chunlu again.
Chunlu nodded timidly.
"Well, it's not bad!" Shen Muqing looked at the window flowers on the window, turned to Mingxia and said, "Let's go." ”
Mingxia was stunned, but soon returned to normal, responded respectfully, and followed Shen Muqing out of Xiaoliuyuan.
Along the way, Shen Muqing's expression was a little trance-like.
was taken away by Mrs. Zhang, what else could be good. But what should I do if I don't get taken away? I don't know anyone, not even the one I trusted...... Besides, with the peerless face of Jinxiu, ordinary families really can't afford it......
The more she thought about it, the more she had no idea, and returned to Anyuan in a chaotic manner.
Buyue waited early under the eaves.
Seeing Shen Muqing coming back, he hurriedly trotted up to greet him, and said, "I went to ask just now, Puyu said that Aunt Du asked her to come and see if the girl was not at home, and she had something to do with the girl!" ”
Shen Muqing nodded, and the maid smiled on the side: "Aunt Du is already here, waiting for the girl in the house!" ”
(It's late in the middle of the year, it's time to rush the list, and the sisters have the support of the votes, thank you!) (*^__^*) hee hee ...... )
