Chapter 42: The Long-Tongued Maid
After the Lu family and his entourage lived in the Xianrong Courtyard, they didn't see Chang Gongzi for a few days, and they asked the next person only to say that they didn't know, and they looked for Steward Li in this courtyard a few times, but they were all pushed to say that Gongzi went out to run errands and hadn't come back yet.
When Steward Li sent it, he also took them to the fields outside the town to see the ten acres of fertile land allocated to them, and a big stone finally fell in Lu's heart, although he still hoped to move out to live, but with such help from others, and remembered the cold words of Chang Gongzi in the hall that day, he slowly stopped pestering him every day.
At the request of Yiyu, the flowers and plants on the west side of Youyuan were uprooted, and someone came to loosen the soil and add soil, and renovated it into a flower garden that was more than twice as large as the small vegetable garden in the small courtyard of the Lu family in the mountain village.
Because Lu Shi had the intention of repaying his gratitude, and was afraid that this thing would not live if he changed places, he would not be able to live and make the family happy, but after the seeds were planted, he was even more interested than Yiyu, but he didn't know the small actions that his daughter did under her nose.
A few days ago, he took care of three or four peasant workers in a small village near Longquan Town, and stayed in the fields with Liu Xiangxiang every day, and only Yiyu was there in the small courtyard during the day.
This Longquan Town is more than three or five times larger than Zhang Town, and since half a month of staying, the remnants of Yu have not gone out to wander around, only to know that they first arrived that day and came in from behind the town, in the end, it is a township not far from Beijing, compared to Qingyang County in Shuzhong, the first half of the town is mostly some grocery stores, there are also two restaurants and inns, and the middle half is a total of five mansions such as Xianrong Courtyard, and the last is the rows of houses they saw when they first entered the town.
In addition to buying seeds and hiring people, Lu still has two dollars left, and bought pen and ink and other things in the shop in the town for Yu Yu to practice calligraphy, Liu Xiangxiang was originally also illiterate in big characters, and saw Yu Yu get up early every day to practice calligraphy with envy, after being seen by Lu, no matter how late she came back every night, she would teach her a few common words.
***
On this day, after Lu and Liu Xiangxiang went out, Yi Yu sat in the wing room hall to practice calligraphy, although there was no desk and other things in this hall, but there was a mahogany stool, plus a satin stool, compared to the rough corners of the low case she used before, the conditions were more than twice as good.
Because the books at home did not bring, she silently wrote the article that Lu Zhi memorized in the past, today she wrote the font is not the same as the previous practice of the square block, but the shape of the character is petite, more delicate Xiaokai, said to be a small Kai but different, there are still a few well-known calligraphers in this era, but there are only one or two people who are good at writing small Kai, are some of the fly-headed Xiaokai and the like, Yu Yu has also seen that kind of calligraphy, I don't like the too compact tone, and her calligraphy has a solid foundation, so I have long had the idea of studying a small regular script, but I have been idle recently, I started thinking about it.
She was attentive to the paper, and for a moment she had no distractions, and when she had filled another piece of paper, she heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and she took the empty teacup and pressed the written paper, and then got up and walked out of the hall.
Just walked to the courtyard gate to open the door, but heard the sound of the two people talking on the other end of the door, and couldn't help but stop moving.
"Dad is really, why do you want us to deliver things, I don't open the door for so long, my hands hurt, it's really annoying."
"That's it, I don't know what to do in broad daylight."
As for why the courtyard door was closed, it was necessary to mention the wild cat that jumped in from the courtyard gate the day before yesterday, and almost turned over the mint she had just planted in the flower garden, so she closed the door every day, just to block the wild cat.
"I really don't know what the son thinks, just take in these dirt buns, and set aside the courtyard for them to live in, it's really a waste of this good place." The woman's voice was delicate, but her words were disdainful.
"Sister Huanhuan, you say, isn't Childe taking a fancy to that girl with a pointed chin?" A pointed chin? Yi Yu subconsciously touched his round little chin, knowing that what people were talking about was Liu Xiangxiang.
"Phew! What nonsense, how can Childe take a fancy to her, a few years older than us, don't say it, and a flattery, not like the daughter of a good family, don't talk nonsense, I heard my brother say, Childe left them for a kind of calling, called-Alas, look at my memory, it's a flower name anyway, I'll ask him when I get back. Yi Yu's brows were locked, why are these two little maids so broken-mouthed, where is Liu Xiangxiang charming, she looks very delicate and beautiful.
"Hehe, I'll just say, a character like our son is not worthy of a mouthful of words-"
"Squeak-" Before the maid finished speaking, she saw that the courtyard door in front of her suddenly opened, and she couldn't close her mouth for a while, and the other maid next to her who didn't have time to retract her sneer turned her head to look at the person inside the door, and saw Yi Yu standing there staring at them with a cold little face, and her face suddenly turned red.
"What's not?" Yi Yu heard that the more they talked, the more unpleasant it became, then he opened the door, tilted his little head and pulled the corners of his mouth, with a smile on his face, and a pair of sharp eyes scraped over the two of them like knives, and immediately recognized that they were the maids who came at the beginning of the day, serving tea and water, and the one on the left had a slightly delicate face that seemed to be wrong that day.
"Didn't the two sisters just say that it was quite lively, why don't you continue to talk about it, so let me listen," Seeing that the two didn't answer, they only lowered their heads and quietly raised their eyes to look at her, and Yi Yu's smile was even better, "I only like to chew the root of people's tongues behind my back when I am a forty or fifty-year-old long-mouthed woman, but I didn't expect the two flower-like sisters to do the same." ”
The two maids hung their heads lower, and they didn't notice that Yi Yu was speaking standard Beijing.
Yi Yu knew that she would have to live here for a while in the current situation, and it was not these maids who were kind to their mother and daughter, so she was not in the mood to bow her head and be small. In order to prevent a few broken villains from arranging their mother and daughter behind their backs, they have the heart to teach them a lesson.
So she leaned out, her little face suddenly leaned forward, until the two of them were three or four inches away, and then she could show a mouthful of white teeth, and said softly to them: "Do you know, two sisters, I heard that those who are flamboyant and like to slander behind their backs will be beaten to hell after death," Looking at their suddenly pale faces, Yi Yu's smile became more gloomy, and his voice was lowered little by little and continued, "There, there is a special long-faced imp to break their mouths, clamp their tongues with long iron tongs, and pull them out raw, but not all at once." , but after stretching it, it is slowly dragged, little by little—"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes suddenly, opened her mouth wide and stuck out a long tongue.
"Ahh
The two maids were caught by her at first, and it was not easy to interrupt Yu Yu's words, but the more she spoke, the more scary it became, and suddenly showed that grimace, and finally couldn't help screaming and dropping the things in her hand, pulling out her legs and running away.
Yi Yu looked at their backs running away, slowly put away their frightening expressions, snorted coldly, bent down to pick up the dark backpacks they had fallen to the ground, patted the dust, and retreated to the courtyard, "clang" twice to close the courtyard door.
