Chapter 234: Snow Skin Peels Orange by Hand
Cicada Yi covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Feng Gongzi also wants to marry my young lady?" It's impossible, Miss, she seems to hate people mentioning Feng Gongzi in front of her, and she frowns every time she mentions it! ”
Pomegranate shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but Feng Gongzi doesn't seem to be proposing marriage to himself, but helping a friend of his to match, his worship post is written 'willing to be a big matchmaker, match a peerless relationship', I don't know what the origin of his friend is, he has not yet said that he has sent so many dowries, and he also scattered copper coins to the group of small guys who received him, and a basket of random people to hold. Everyone said that the third lady had good luck and was matched by a nobleman! ”
Cicada Yi did not see joy on her face, but said worriedly: "Miss is an assertive person, she definitely does not want the old lady to arbitrarily set a marriage for her without her consent." Sister Pomegranate, you bake the fire here first, I'll go and see if Miss is awake or ......not" When I turned around, I saw that Miss was wearing a light green jacket skirt and a feather feather, and she stood at the door silently, and she was startled by the cold. If he just showed up silently, it would not frighten Cicada Yi, who suddenly dropped his jaw. It's because—
"Miss! Your face! ”
Pomegranate also exclaimed: "Third Miss! Why are you suddenly so white and so beautiful! ”
He Angelica looked at the two of them quietly and asked, "What did Feng Yang say?" Is he the only one who will give the gift? Didn't his friends come? ”
Pomegranate shook his head and said: "There are three layers inside and three outside the gate, all surrounded by people, I am small, I can't see the specific situation, but I vaguely hear people talking about what 'distinguished guests are coming to the door', what 'the third lady has good luck, maybe it is better than the second and fourth misses marrying' and so on." ”
Cicada Yi hadn't seen Miss's face for several days, and as soon as she saw her at this moment, she immediately jumped up and grabbed her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why don't you look ugly with beauty powder?" You are wearing such a grand attire, are you going out to meet guests? ”
He Angelica lowered her eyelashes and hooked her lips, her long and dense eyelashes made a moving shadow under her eyes, and she said in a man-like voice: "Since I was tanned three years ago, I have been looking forward to one day being white, but I have never been able to do so. ”
After seeing He Angelica, who had recovered his spirits, Cicada Yi felt a little relieved, and then asked, "Then, Miss, do you want to eat something?" I'll use the hot spring water to cook you a pot of sesame rice balls, right? I made a lot of dumplings yesterday. ”
He Angelica smiled and said: "Northern dumplings and southern rice balls, if you can't eat rice balls during the New Year, you always feel that there is no atmosphere." ”
So, Cicada Yi hurriedly ran to the kitchen to cook, and Pomegranate also went to the kitchen to help after greeting He Angelica's physical condition, leaving He Angelica alone to play by the fire. He Angelica saw that there was a big orange on the pillow of the cicada's clothes, so he grabbed it and roasted it on the fire until it was warm, broke the new orange with his slender hands, and deftly peeled off the orange clothes with his hands, threw the orange peel into the fire one by one, and threw the orange flesh into it one by one, and suddenly the room was full of fragrant orange flavor.
After only a moment's effort, Cicada Yi and Pomegranate walked in with two large bowls of steaming rice balls, and said with a smile: "Eat a bowl of rice balls for the New Year, and you will be reunited all year round, and your wishes will come true, Miss, you will grow up one year old after eating this bowl of rice balls-fourteen years old, and Miss Lu will become a real adult." ”
He Angelica held the fire hook in his hand, poked the orange flesh in the stove flat, and said with a smile: "Then I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and return your auspicious words to you, come, let's have a delayed New Year's dinner together." ”
The three of them immediately set out the dishes, with a plate of pickled bayberry and a sour tangerine peel, they ate a hot spring rice ball, looking forward to the coming year in the sweet and glutinous food, with this sweet beginning, then the next process and ending must not be bitter. Fourteen years old is the beginning of the most beautiful chapter in a woman's life, and when the young lady's road becomes more and more splendid, the maids below can also benefit a lot.
Cicada Yi looked at her young lady's Yuxue's clear face, and asked with a smile: "Miss, who is the poplar who wants to marry you as his wife?" How come I've never heard you and Miss Qing talk about such a number one person? ”
Talking about Miss He Angelica's husband is one of the most talked about topics among Cicada Yi, Huaihua and Mint, every time He Angelica and Liao Qing'er mention which son in the casual conversation, and Cicada Yi and others know this person, then their topics for the next whole day will revolve around this.
Normally, the one or two maids who are the most intimate of Miss Dahu are the most concerned about the marriage situation of the young lady, because the person who the young lady marries is basically the husband of the two personal maids. This is an unwritten rule, especially in the south in recent years, and the dowry girl is equivalent to the intercourse girl.
In the early years, when this rule was not raised, many maids who married with the young lady often had secret feelings for their young lady's suave husband, but they were afraid that the young lady would be angry, so nine times out of ten they hid in their hearts and did not dare to confide. The open-minded young lady pushed the boat down the river, and let her henchmen share a little favor, which indirectly suppressed the concubines below. And most of the newlywed ladies can't understand this, if they find that their girl has signs of liking their husband, they will immediately find a small girl to marry the girl, and reduce a love rival for themselves.
This was the case when the old lady brought Mama Tang to marry, and Mama Tang secretly had feelings for her uncle Luo Duzhong, which made the old lady feel awkward, so she began to look for a spouse for Mama Tang. However, the old lady and Mama Tang are beyond the relationship between master and servant, close to the relationship between sisters, and they have not turned their faces because of a man, but Mama Tang has a bit of "once the sea is difficult to water", and resolutely refuses to find a mediocre man to marry, since she was born with a lowly life, then simply be lonely all her life, and look up to the happy relationship between her young lady and her uncle below.
At that time, the custom of marrying a maid is a maid in the room has been spread, but Dong is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, as soon as he saw that there was a prominent Qin'er among his maids, and Luo Bai had two eyebrow-to-eye eye contacts, Dong immediately felt threatened, and used Qin'er's relatives in her mother's Dong family as a threat, forcing Qin'er to vote for the lotus pond, and immediately frightened other maids, and didn't dare to have any thoughts about the handsome aunt Luo Baiqian.
And when it comes to He Angelica, among the two personal maids, Cicada Yi is a stupid eldest sister who doesn't have these thoughts at all, and caring about Miss's marriage is just simple enthusiasm, but Huaihua is different. Three years ago, when Huaihua was seventeen years old, He Angelica found a good little guy for her, but Huaihua thought about it for two days and didn't come down, and in the days that followed, He Angelica recommended several good husband candidates to her in a row.
Until last year, He Angelica turned thirteen years old, Huaihua showed great enthusiasm for her marriage, and asked others about every son who showed favor to He Angelica, and then came to report to He Angelica in detail. So, He Angelica gradually figured out Huaihua's mind - Huaihua waited for three years without marrying, and waited until she was twenty years old, I am afraid that she is waiting to marry with herself, so that she can be a girl in a room.
At that time, although He Angelica had not yet put the discussion on the agenda, when she thought that before a sea bass was caught, there were already people waiting by the side, waiting for a piece of the pie, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. In her previous life, she married in a hurry and didn't have a dowry girl, so she never had such an experience, but after encountering the situation of Huaihua in this life, she began to understand a little bit that the old lady and Mama Tang had such a strong and supportive relationship for a lifetime, but why they couldn't share the same husband.
Because no matter whether the love is strong or weak, in the eyes of a woman, all women who share their husbands with them are all enemies, whether they are like sisters or true sisters, as long as they are involved in such a relationship, the sisters can't do it. This is a strange circle that no one can break free, even He Angelica, who has the wisdom of life accumulated in two lifetimes, she is not sure that after she marries in the future, she will give birth to the cruel idea of the Dong family to respect oneself and strangle all threats in the cradle.
Huaihua is pure and kind by nature, since she followed her out of the water business concept, she has been conscientiously doing her maid, and the days of smooth wind and water have passed, and the days of storms have also passed, and there has never been any mistakes and betrayals. Such a loyal and hard-working acacia flower, the idea of marrying a good husband with her, being a maid in a room, and further being an aunt is not Huaihua's fault, and she can only sigh that the environment has affected her concept of mate selection. As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken than a cow, and it is said that when choosing a job, being a poor lady's big girl is more productive than being a rich lady's fire girl, just because the two will marry differently in the future.
Women who are born poor have to find men who are also poor, and will give birth to a group of poor children in the future, and continue to do poor work and serve rich and noble people. And being a young lady's eldest girl, as long as the young lady marries well, it is no different from her marrying well. Miss is looking for an excellent noble son, whether it is a wife or a concubine, as long as Miss is favored and eats delicious fish and meat, then the following dowry maid can naturally drink some fish soup. After three or five years, as long as the luck is not bad, he will inevitably be able to give birth to a boy and a girl, and if he is an aunt, he will become half a master, and the children he gave birth to are real masters, and he is born to be served by a rich and noble life.
He Angelica guessed that Huaihua should be like this. She didn't think too much, and her selfishness was not so selfish, but He Angelica felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart. Even if she marries not her lover in the future, but her enemy Zhu Quan, she will not like to share the feeling of husband with her maid. After a few years of getting along, the girls Cicada Yi, Acacia and Mint are her family, relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms, how warm and sweet this relationship is, she really doesn't want this relationship to deteriorate.
Therefore, as soon as she heard that Sister Pearl was pregnant, she immediately sent Huaihua to take care of Sister Pearl, and then gradually promoted the short-term job to a long-term job, and stuffed the Huaihua to Sister Pearl without a trace.
At the beginning, Huaihua went to Lufu to take care of Pearl, just out of her longing and friendship for her eldest sister, just taking this errand as a relative, planning to take care of Pearl until she gave birth to a child and had a complete merit and retired. But waiting by the side of the pearl, seeing Lu Zhizhou's meticulous care for the pearl, Huaihua was moved and envious, but also had new ideas.
Since her ultimate goal is to be a maid in the room, it is better to follow the former senior sister Pearl than to follow a beautiful lady He Angelica. Miss He Angelica is still young, and she will have to wait another year or two for marriage, and after a year or two, Miss will inevitably be more beautiful, but she is two years older, and her posture will fade by two points, even if it does not fade, compared with Miss, her light is dimmer than the fireflies under the bright moon. And although she is not very old, she gives people an unfathomable feeling. Standing on the same side as Miss, when fighting against the second wife and others, Miss is the most reassuring reliance and synonym for "undefeated", but if there is really a day when she works with Miss for a husband, a powerful character like Miss, can she tolerate herself?
And the senior sister is different, the senior sister has a tolerant and peaceful temperament, and treats herself well, plus she is more than ten years younger than the senior sister, she has a natural advantage, and when the senior sister gives birth to this child, her youth has almost come to an end. And Lu Zhizhou, an excellent man who is not yet thirty years old, how can he only guard a senior sister and a child for the rest of his life? If the child had been a girl, wouldn't the incense have been cut off?
Lu Zhizhou and the senior sister have a deep relationship, Lu Zhizhou probably won't take the initiative to mention the matter of concubines, but the senior sister must not bear to let her husband's family be ruined, right? When the time comes, the continuation of incense is put on the agenda, so instead of looking for it from outside, it is better to pick a person who knows the roots by your side, and you are now in your twenties, which is the best age to give birth......
After thinking about it like this, Huaihua no longer thought about returning to Luofu, but completely regarded Lufu as her new home, lived in peace, regarded the senior sister as her new master, and served her wholeheartedly. In the end, she also regarded Lu Zhizhou as her future husband, although she abided by etiquette and did not mean to take her husband away from the eldest sister's pregnancy, but after all, there was a spring mood that could not be concealed under her eyebrows, and occasionally when she touched each other's fingers when handing something, her cheeks would always fly over a burst of red glow.
Pearl has read all kinds of things in the world in the past 30 years, what a transparent person, a few times after seeing this situation, the bottom of the heart has already been clear, and it is even colder.
