Chapter 13: Falling Red

Noah was a little embarrassed, and was about to feign anger and anger when there was a sound of small footsteps outside the study.

"Aunt Lin?"

She heard that it was Ji Pozi's voice, glared at the bellflower, and gathered her mind: "Come in." ”

Ji Pozi pushed open the door of the study, looked in, and then walked in and said hello to Nuoya perfunctorily, and instructed the two little girls behind her to carry the washing items and wait for Nuoya to freshen up. He walked straight to the bed, folded the messy quilt neatly, and leaned over to rummage around on the bed.

"Mother Ji, what are you looking for?" Kikyo saw that she was strange and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing!" Ji Pozi didn't look back, shook off the quilt and checked it again, before she straightened up and glanced at Lin Nuoya strangely, with a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.

From her disdain, Lin Nuoya finally understood what she was looking for, and said in her heart: Just say that Bailijiu, this demon, was so kind-hearted last night, and actually secretly moved her to the bed to rest, it turned out to be a purpose!

I "slept together" with him at night, and I was afraid that it had already reached the ears of the old lady, so I specially told this Mrs. Ji to come over to check whether it was red. Now that the bed is clean, I can't tell if I jumped into the Yellow River.

This guy definitely did it on purpose! Lin Nuoya gritted her teeth with hatred, hated to bite off a piece of meat from Baili Jiu, took the skin, dipped it in some pepper and salt, chewed it, chewed it, swallowed it.

She took the handkerchief from her subordinates' hands, wiped her face indiscriminately, and rinsed her mouth with green salt, calmly and methodically.

Ji Pozi couldn't hold her breath, she was a little anxious, and she wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Lin Nuoya turned a blind eye, slowly arranged her dress by herself, and pulled her hair behind her.

"Ancestor worship is at most a cup of tea. It's better for Aunt Lin to go to the main hall and wait earlier, otherwise the old lady won't be able to see you, and if she is to blame, she will still suffer a loss. Ji Pozi gave up her plan to ask Nuoya, and urged the two little girls to be nimble.

Although the two girls don't look very old, they are ingenious, holding an ivory comb to comb Noah's hair as smooth and shiny as brocade, and their fingers fly up and down, neatly pulling a fallen horse bun, and only shaking the hairpin with a simple and elegant step.

Lin Nuoya stood up, wearing a smoky blue entangled magnolia Luo skirt, simple and elegant, well-cut, reflecting her shoulders like a knife, waist like a bundle, more and more curled Nana.

Ji Pozi's eyes unscrupulously swirled back and forth on Lin Nuoya's body, and finally stopped on her waist, with an inquiry.

When Noya saw it in her eyes, she was suddenly disgusted, and secretly calculated in her heart that this Ji Pozi must be the eyeliner sent by the old lady, and her every word and deed was under her nose, and she reported to the old lady with oil and vinegar, and she couldn't keep it.

But now that he is weak, he has no way to do it, so he can only be careful and vigilant.

After serving Lin Nuoya and collecting things, the two little girls stood beside them with their hands down, waiting for orders.

Ji Pozi said: "This is the master's study, and idlers are not allowed to enter without being summoned, you two must remember clearly, don't break the rules." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Nuoya, obviously pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

The two girls responded respectfully, and even said "don't dare".

Noah sneered in her heart, but her face was silent, she glanced at the two girls, remembering that Bailijiu had mentioned it last night, but it was not a joke.

One of the two looks a little honest and honest, and the other is smart and handsome, with cherry lips and peach cheeks, and a bit of posture.

Ji Pozi is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Lin Nuoya and looked at the two girls, and immediately smiled and replied to her: "This morning, the young master ordered you to pick two clever and capable girls and serve them." Because of the rush of time, I temporarily transferred two pleasing ones from other places, if you think they are clumsy and unsatisfactory, they will be changed in two days. ”

The two of them bowed to Lin Nuoya and bowed, somewhat perfunctory: "I've seen Aunt Lin." ”

Noah looked at the two of them again, taking in their respective eyes: "What's the name?" ”

Ji Pozi answered: "It turned out that they were all miscellaneous girls, and they still used the names brought by the family." I'm just waiting for my aunt to give me a name. ”

Lin Nuoya cleaned up neatly, and said without thinking: "One is called 'Chaosan', and the other is called 'Dusk Four'." ”

Ji Pozi and the two girls couldn't help but be stunned, looking at each other, crying and laughing.

Lin Nuoya walked past them with her head held high, and paused: "What? Comments? ”

The two girls knew that their disrespect just now had provoked the master in front of them, knocked out their teeth and swallowed them into their stomachs, and said with low eyebrows: "Don't dare." ”

"Don't dare to be the best." Noya sneered, ignored it after speaking, opened the door and walked out, raised his voice and shouted: "Kikyo, morning and evening, hurry up and keep up!" ”

provoked the guards all around.

When Lin Nuoya arrived at the front hall, it was already three poles in the sun.

The old lady, Baili Jiu, Qin, and An sat upright in the main hall, and the subordinates stood on both sides with bated breath, and it was quiet.

The bellflower behind him shrunk his neck, and he was a little timid. Looking at this formation, the old lady's face was majestic, her face was sinking like water, she didn't look like a newcomer offering tea, but like a three-hall trial.

Lin Nuoya walked in generously, and said with a cheeky smile: "Morning." ”

"It's early." The old lady snorted coldly: "Aunt Lin has worked hard. ”

Noah smiled "hehe", as if she couldn't understand the height of her eyebrows: "Thank you for your concern, the ninth master was a little greedy and drunk yesterday, and it is indeed difficult to serve." ”

The old lady originally thought that as long as she was humble, she would take the opportunity to reprimand. Who would have thought that this woman would be so brazen, and the words behind her would be stuck and she forgot the words.

A thin-faced woman came in from outside the door, took three cups of tea in her hand, took a cup in the middle, and handed it to Lin Nuoya.

Noya took it in his hand calmly, fragrant and sweet, not an ordinary tea fragrance.

She curiously lifted the lid, and sure enough, it was a cup of Babao tea, on which were floating two seedless red dates and two peeled lotus seeds.

Lin Nuoya couldn't help but be stunned, she knew that the bride was particular about tea, the pitting of this red date meant that there was no child, and the lotus seed was white when the lotus was peeled off, which was in conflict with the happy event.

Can the old lady not be picky? Who does this mean?

Noah raised her eyes and glanced around, and the four people in front of her had different expressions and thoughts. Especially when the old lady stared at her, she hated to eat her alive.

She turned her face to look at the mother-in-law serving tea again, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly looked away, obviously a thief.

Lin Nuoya has a score in her heart, and this matter is eighty percent instructed by the old lady, otherwise where would Qin An and the others have the courage to openly do things under Tai Sui's nose.

It is said that in a large family, as soon as the daughter-in-law enters the door, she will be called by her mother-in-law to set rules and make things difficult in every way. It seems that he will not be able to escape this fate. If this red date lotus seed tea is respected, the old lady will definitely be furious, pointing at her nose and scolding, and serving with sticks.

Lin Nuoya didn't say a word, picked up the tea in his hand, and went into his stomach with a clatter-fortunately, the weather was cold, and the tea was no longer hot.

Putting down the teacup, the old lady's face turned green.

"It's really uneducated, and I don't even know this rule." Qin Darling sneered disdainfully.

An Ruoxi left her seat and walked down, stretched Nuoya's sleeves, and reminded in a low voice: "Sister Lin, this first cup of tea is for your mother-in-law, why did you drink it yourself." ”

"There are two ladies serving the old lady, they must be thoughtful, and their mouths must not be thirsty." Lin Nuoya pretended to be stupid and defended.

An Ruoxi covered her lips and chuckled: "The sister of the Lin family didn't expect to be so innocent. This tea is the custom of the bride entering the door, not because the mother-in-law is thirsty. ”

"Oh?" Noah looked dazed: "Why?" ”

"Doesn't my sister know the allusion of "planting tea and giving birth to seeds, it cannot be transplanted, and transplantation will not be reborn"? Throughout the ages, we women have been hired to take tea as a gift, which means from the beginning to the end. An Ruoxi had the intention to show off her talents, quoting scriptures, which caused Qin Darling to snort softly.

Lin Nuoya's face suddenly realized: "I see, I actually said this." However, what my mother-in-law prepared for Nuoya is red date lotus seed tea, which means that I will give birth to a noble son early. ”

Baili Jiu smiled and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Only then did An Ruoxi know that Lin Nuoya was pretending to be confused and deliberately doing it, but she gave her a reason to excuse herself, and said with a wry smile: "My sister is a careful person, but it was my sister who got the axe." ”

Seeing An Ruoxi deflated, Qin Bao'er was in a happy mood, and said gloatingly: "I remember that the sister of the An family gave her mother-in-law lotus seed tea today, right?" ”

An Ruoxi blushed in embarrassment: "I just heard that my mother-in-law has always liked to drink Babao tea in the morning, thinking about Babao Ruyi, lotus seeds have a heart, and I have never been so thoughtful." ”

The old lady glared at the woman fiercely, "Nuo is an old man, why don't you understand these rules, why don't you hurry up and add another drink?" ”

The mother-in-law was reprimanded, and she no longer dared to despise it, so she immediately took Lin Nuoya's tea cup and handed it over again, the tea was fragrant, this time it was the authentic Xinyang Maojian.

Noya held it in her hand, walked up to the old lady, knelt down, stretched her hands forward, high above her head, and said respectfully: "Old lady, please have tea." ”

Unexpectedly, the old lady did not make things difficult for Nuoya this time, leaned over to take the tea in her hand, placed it on the table beside her, and let out a cold "um" from her nostrils. Then he took out a square object wrapped in red paper from the mother-in-law on the side and handed it to her.

Noya took it in her hand, and she was secretly happy in her heart, she had long heard that the rich and noble, the newcomer was going to seal the silver and change her mouth when she gave tea, but she didn't expect this mother-in-law to look like she didn't want to see herself, and she was generous under her hands, and she was such a pile of tickets. Maybe all the entanglements that I ran away in the future are all together.

She held it in her arms like a treasure, feeling a little heavy in her hand, pressing it with her fingers, and it was hard like a book.

"Let's open it and take a look." The old lady took a sip of the teacup and said slowly.

Lin Nuoya was indeed a little impatient, and opened the paper package in three or two clicks, and it was really a book "The Legend of the Chaste Martyr". Let's just say how to be so kind today, it turns out that I dug a pit and waited here.

"You should be literate, right?" The old lady asked lightly.

Lin Nuoya scratched her hair and looked annoyed: "I seem to have learned a few words when I was young, but it's good to know one out of ten words." ”

The old lady should have been more surprised, she didn't expect her son to like an illiterate girl. His move was like a punch on the cotton, and he was weak.

She forcibly suppressed her anger and reprimanded coldly: "It's okay for a woman to be illiterate, but she must know etiquette, righteousness and shame, know three obedience and four virtues, and know innocence." From today onwards, I will find a female gentleman to teach you these female virtues and commandments. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the courtyard of Yinian Hall without permission, and learn the rules in peace, so as not to lose the face of my general's mansion. ”

The voice is stern and unquestionable.
