Chapter 4: Dog Blood
Xia Er told her that they were the girls of the second room of the Fuyuan Courtyard, and the third lady who lived in Jimei Xuan was the concubine of the big house. Originally, the work of this big house could not be sent to the Fuyuan Courtyard, but the gardens of the Chengbo Mansion were mainly distributed in the second room, so the third lady went to the second lady with a shy face, saying that the maids in her courtyard were picking the dew on the lotus leaves in the east, and there were not enough people, so she asked the second lady to send a few people to help her collect the dew in the west garden. The second lady is the most soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and she agreed to listen to her request, and the job fell on their heads.
Fuyuan is located in the southwest of Bofu, it is a large courtyard with three entrances, there are three small gardens in the house, and there is one behind Fuyuan. In the small garden, it is now the time when the flowers are blooming, the dew should be collected quickly, and the sun will not be able to pick it when it comes out. Chun'er and Xia'er do this much more gently, they use wooden tongs to pinch the petals and tilt them to let the dew drip into the urn, and they will pick the amount of the bottom of the urn in the morning.
Shuang'er said to Chun'er next to her while picking: "The young lady in Jimei Xuan is very Yaxing, and she uses dew to make tea." ”
Xia Er chuckled: "The third lady doesn't have a Yaxing for cooking tea, but for the people who drink tea." ”
Chun'er coughed, turned her head to look left and right, and saw that the others were in the distance, and whispered: "Even the third lady dares to arrange it, do you want to be beaten by the board?" ”
Xia Er looked mysterious, and said in a low voice: "The Marquis of Changxing came yesterday, and I heard that the third miss who provoked her was so unhappy, and after the Hou Ye left, the third miss punished Yue'er to kneel." ”
The tip of Shuang'er's ear moved, and the radar caught the breath of dog blood, and asked Xia'er, "Why did you punish Yue'er?" ”
Chun'er and Xia'er looked at her together, and their eyes seemed to say: Are you embarrassed to ask this kind of question?
Shuang'er held the urn in one hand, spread it out helplessly with the other, and said, "Aren't I having amnesia, good sister, tell me." ”
Chun'er looked at her like this, shook her head and sighed with an old-fashioned look: "I don't know when your poison will be cured, let's go back and see Yue'er later, I heard that I knelt in the courtyard of the third lady for a few hours last night, and it was the eldest young master who came back to bring her back." You used to be good to her, she always ignored you coldly, this time you had an accident, she went to ask the doctor invited by the eldest young master, otherwise your little life would not be saved. ”
When Shuang'er heard her say this, she thought that this Yue'er was affectionate and righteous, a typical cold face and a hot heart, she could move the eldest young master, and she had emotional ties with the Marquis of Changxing and the third lady, and she was a proper heroine. After collecting the dew, when she went back, Shuang'er asked Chun'er where Yue'er lived, but in fact, she lived in another dormitory in a few rooms. Chun'er told her that the girls in the second room were all bought and trained by the second lady and then sent to the courtyard of the eldest young master and the fourth lady to serve, and the girls without rank all lived in the cross-courtyard of the Fuyuan Courtyard, and the girls with the upper rank could move to the courtyard of the young master and Miss Lady to which they belonged.
Shuang'er counted the doors and knocked on them twice, but no one answered, and she tried to push it gently, and the door opened. Shuang'er asked if there was anyone on the side, and pushed the door in, only to see that the shape of the room was similar to the one she lived in, it was also a Chase bunk, and the other quilts were neatly folded, only one of the quilts by the window at the end was sleeping. Shuang'er tiptoed over, only to see a girl sleeping on her side with her hair scattered, her black hair piled on the pillow, revealing a little white forehead. When Frost leaned over, she saw her eyelashes flashing, and she shouldn't have fallen asleep.
