Chapter 8 Flying Fish Breaks the Ice
"Miss, look, what do you want to use here?"
A little girl's gentle voice sounded, and a few bead hairpins in her hands stretched out in front of her, interrupting Jiang Yu's contemplation.
She refocused her gaze and looked at the mirror surface that was as smooth as water, and the little person's facial features in it had not yet fully opened, but her eyebrows and eyes were dazzling.
Especially those eyes, the pupils are black and shiny, and they are even a little purple when they are side-lit, if it weren't for the pale lips, the whole person looks pink and tender.
Jiang Yu's heart moved slightly, Jian Jian and her before, under a closer look, there were three points of resemblance, but it was more delicate and delicate than her appearance.
The little girl who was doing her makeup saw that she looked at the mirror for a long time and didn't speak, so she knelt down in fear, "Miss, don't you like this hairstyle, the slave will recomb it for you immediately——"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then remembered the style of the little girl Jian Jian in the past, and shook her head.
Glancing at the beads she chose, the styles were very outstanding, but they were too heavy, and one of them was decorated with a dense string of small eastern pearls.
Jiang Yu casually took a small golden hairpin from the makeup and handed it to her, "That's it." What's your name? ”
The girl looked up in shock, her eyes just level with her, and as soon as she made contact, she lowered her head in a panic. "The slave maid's name is Xiuzhi, and she is a newly filled maid who has taken up the lack of Sister Xiufang."
Then she was a little hesitant, wondering if Jiang Yu remembered who Xiufang was, and if she wanted to explain it to her—besides, why did the young lady speak now?
She obviously listened to Sister Chi Ying's instructions, and the young lady was afraid that she wouldn't be able to speak in the near future, so she asked them to be careful when they waited, otherwise they would be sold to the ravine with a sloppy husband.
Jiang Yu closed her eyes.
This threatening method, it really doesn't show that Chi Ying is from her family, and the girl who has been trained by Jin Fang's mother herself, is straightforward and rude, but she likes it very much.
"Okay." The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth raised a light smile, and said, "After combing, tell Sister Chiying that I am going to visit my grandmother to ask Ann." ”
I really want to see my grandmother and make it clear to her, otherwise why did I stop the deadly decoction?
If she hadn't spoken inadvertently with this girl today, she would only be able to speak after she had to drink medicine for a month - after all, what Mrs. Jiang said in front of Mrs. Jiang that night was very true.
And, most importantly, she can still see through the other party's mind when she looks at others, but she no longer has to worry about not being able to control herself and blurting out directly as an ominous demon from the sky.
Last night, there was another heavy snowfall, out of the Tang Hall where Jiang Yu lived, I saw that on both sides of the cyan slate road, the snow was white, embellished on the branches of the red plum arbitrarily elongated, faintly revealing the blue brown of the trunk, vivid and beautiful.
Jiang Yu picked up a path around Meilin from memory, turned a moon cave door, and saw a silent lake, with a few cracks on the thin ice, and under the sun, it became more and more crystal clear.
On the shore on the other side of the lake, there is a group of people, brightly dressed and brightly dressed, reflecting the beautiful pink walls and tiles behind them, which is very lively.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but stop and take a few more looks.
Chi Ying is the first time to follow Jiang Yu out, in the past, the young lady always believed in Mama Lu, and did not trust her and Yingcui, the two foreign maids, no matter where she went, she would rather take the little girl than take them.
But since waking up that day, the young lady seems to be more and more serious about them, and Akazakura also cherishes this identity as a real big girl.
Along the way, she paid attention to Jiang Yu, thinking about protecting Miss well and guiding her way, but unfortunately she never had the opportunity.
It just so happened that she knew the group of people on the other side, and the young lady was obviously very interested in them.
Akazakura didn't wait to ask, so she explained: "Miss, that's the second miss, the third miss, and the fourth miss with Miss Biao watching the flying fish break the ice." ”
Jiang Yu squinted and distinguished for a while, the three girls standing in front of her were indeed the young ladies of the Jiang family in her memory.
From time to time, a few shadows were passing in front of them, attracting the applause of the little girl behind them.
Those shadows seemed to be fish, and one of them was snow-white, which made Jiang Yu see her figure clearly.
Winter in Jiangnan seems to be interesting, Jiang Yu thought.
She stood for a while, and was about to continue walking, when she suddenly noticed a dark gray figure rising and falling far from the shore, looking a little bulky, with such a big fish?
"That's—"
Jiang Yu saw the thing clearly, but she wasn't very sure, and asked Chi Sakura next to her with an unbearable face.
When Chi Ying saw her look over, she seemed to be startled, and then she suppressed the unbearability and pity on her face, and whispered: "Miss is asking the person in the lake, if the slave is not mistaken, he is the personal servant of the fourth young master." ”
Jiang Yu naturally knew who the fourth young master was, it was Jiang Yuzhi.
"So my sisters are watching flying fish, but it's Ji'an who breaks the ice?" Jiang Yu said expressionlessly.
No wonder how the fish in this lake can jump out of the water, only when the ice is broken, the fish in the lake will naturally jump to the ice-breaking place after the lack of oxygen in winter.
It's just that although there is the sun today, it is still a cold day, and Jiang Yu has been standing and watching for a long time, how long has An stayed in the cold and biting lake?
He is like this, I'm afraid that his master is not much better, otherwise why would he let his personal servant fall to this point.
Jiang Yu remembered the oppression brought by the young man's upright figure in the faint light that morning, and frowned. Without waiting for Chi Ying to answer, she gathered the big crane on her body and walked towards the Jiufutang where Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang lived.
She had already remembered where the jade pendant had fallen, and it should be too late to get it back now.
Only then did he enter the courtyard of Jiufutang from the moon cave gate, and across the tall pines and cypresses in the shade, someone had already greeted him from inside, and when he saw that the person who came was Jin Fang's mother, Jiang Yu stopped and bowed slightly, which was considered courtesy.
Jin Fang's mother is still an ordinary black coarse linen dress, and although the embroidered shoes are washed white, the stitches are still the same, without the slightest distortion.
She looked at Jiang Yu's lips, with a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
Jiang Yu knew in her heart that Xiuzhi was indeed the person given to her by Jin Fang's mother.
"Are you here to greet the old lady today?"
Jiang Yu nodded, her voice was clear, "I can already speak, I slept for a few days, and I was afraid that my grandmother would be worried, so I came to take a look." ”
Jin Fang's mother was about to speak with a smile when she heard a voice coming from the room.
"Jin Fang, who are you talking to outside? Leaving the old woman alone with moldy Buddhist scriptures? ”
Jin Fang's mother led Jiang Yu into the warm pavilion in the east wing, and as soon as she entered, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shiver with the warmth on her face, and then felt much more comfortable.
The old lady's room was richly furnished and warm.
In the main hall, there is a screen inlaid with jadeite and blank jade surface, and the shelf is made directly of the whole golden silk nanmu, without a trace of seams. On the long table on the right is enshrined a sandalwood statue of Kannon.
Chi Ying set up a velvet curtain with gold silk teeth in front, and Jiang Yu saw the old lady Jiang who had just spoken.
