Chapter 730 - First Encounter with a Beautiful Woman
Opening his eyes, in an unfamiliar environment, Qin Liusu seemed to be in a dream, what kind of place is this? Rubbing his eyes, he watched the women dressing up.
They were dressed like subordinates, and she was in the same room as them.
Girls of their age love beauty. No matter what class you are in.
Qin Liusu thought that he had been sold here, and he felt lost and aggrieved in his heart again.
"Girl, this is your clothes, please change them, we will clean the courtyard later."
"Thank you, what's your name?" Qin Liusu asked.
"My name is Xiaoyu and I am 19 years old. What about you? ”
"My name is Liusu and I'm 17 years old. You're older than me, so I'll call you sister in the future. Qin Liusu said happily.
"Well, you get up quickly, and after breakfast, we're going to clean Madame's room and help Madame get dressed. I also have to serve my wife to dinner! In fact, I was also sold to Zhang's Mansion as a maid. ”
Xiaoyu urged Qin Liusu, hoping that she would get up quickly, and also hoped that she would not be too sad and sad.
Hearing Xiaoyu say this, Qin Liusu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a bad guy?" "No, it's my father. He gambled so much that he not only sold me, but also sold my mother to a brothel. I still don't know where my mother is. ”
Xiao Yu said as she burst into tears. "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, for making you think of your sadness. Someday you'll find your mother. Qin Liusu comforted Xiaoyu.
The two poor girls hugged their heads and cried as if they had found each other's support, and the other maids were sad and sad when they saw it.
Maybe as subordinates, everyone has a sad story, but they usually force a smile and don't mention it on the surface, because they are afraid of touching the pain in their hearts.
"Let's go, Liusu, hurry up, let's go eat together." Xiaoyu called out to Qin Liusu.
Qin Liusu was changing into white clothes that represented the identity of the maid.
"Liusu, you look so good, like a little fairy."
Xiaoyu looked back and saw Qin Liusu who had changed his clothes, and said sincerely. The other maids also looked back at Qin Liusu, which made Qin Liusu embarrassed. "Is there one? Don't make fun of me. Let's go. ”
Qin Liusu, who is dressed in cotton and linen clothes, is like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world, with the maid's small bun, which makes him even more indescribably cute, like an elf who does not know the fireworks in the world.
There is an indescribable style between the eye waves.
In the warm morning sun, you can't take your eyes off it. In a small side room not far from the kitchen, the maids finished breakfast and began the day's hard work.
After passing through several paths, through many cloisters, past rockeries, gardens, and through a pavilion, and after a short cobblestone path, I saw where Madame lived.
Along the way, Qin Liusu looked around left and right.
It had snowed all night, and the weather was sunny today, and the roads and snow had already been cleared.
The snow on both sides of the road and not far away gleazed in the sun.
Master Zhang in the house is an official in the court. Recently, every time I come back, I live with the third lady, the eldest son is born to the second lady, and the second son is born to the third lady.
Although the lady also gave birth to a son, he was the youngest. Because the third son has been pampered since he was a child, he is always messing around, and he has often made the old man angry recently.
Mrs. often protects the third son, and often blows the pillow wind in front of the master, and after a long time, the master rarely goes to the lady again. Since then, Madame's temperament has also become moody.
"When you serve Madame, you must be careful. Her temper is really weird. ”
"Sister Xiaoyu, I'll be careful." Qin Liusu said worriedly.
The house that appeared in front of it was very elegant, a few osmanthus trees were planted at the door, and a few pots of good lotus flowers were placed, although it seemed a little depressed in such cold weather in early spring, but it could still be seen that the owner was a very particular person.
In the vicinity of the residence is a bamboo forest, into the room, only to see the ground paved with smooth bluestone, into the inner hall, in a very conspicuous position placed a bronze mirror, is the eldest lady for dressing.
The woman on the edge of the bed has already risen, she is the hostess of Zhang's mansion, Yu Shi—————— Yu Qingwan, a native of Huainan and the eldest daughter of Yu Cheng of Wuqing County. I saw that she was thin and luxurious, sitting there.
"Ma'am, I'll help you get dressed." Xiao Yu stepped forward to salute Madame, got up and helped Madame, and walked towards the bronze mirror in the hall.
Qin Liusu hurriedly followed behind, holding the water used to wash his face, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.
Madame is not as powerful as she said, and she looks pretty good. Qin Liusu thought in his heart.
"What's your name?" Madame looked at the bronze mirror and said.
Qin Liusu thought about it and didn't hear it.
At this time, Xiaoyu hurriedly said loudly: "Madam, what do you think of this bun?" It's perfect for you! ”
"Presumptuous! Q: Didn't you hear that? Are you dumb? You get me out! Madame was angry all of a sudden, slapped the table, and said angrily.
Qin Liusu, who was frightened by such a formation, didn't know what to do for a while, and knocked over the face wash in his hand in a panic.
"You, what do you do? You pretended to be deaf and dumb when asked you, and now you deliberately spilled my face wash. Today you will be punished to sleep in the firewood room and not allowed to eat. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. slapped Qin Liusu in the face.
Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped, and motioned Qin Liusu to leave quickly with her eyes.
"Madam, it's all the slave's fault, the slave will go and bring you water again." After Qin Liusu left, Xiaoyu was afraid that Mrs. would blame Qin Liusu again, so she began to change her way to make Mrs. happy.
One after another, Mrs. asked Xiaoyu to comb her hair several times, so that the lady was satisfied, and took pictures and photos in the bronze mirror, finished dressing up, and finished breakfast.
She changed into another favorite dress, looked at it in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and then asked Xiaoyu to accompany her to go outside for a walk.
When Yu Qingwan was fine, she either went out for a walk, or she recited scriptures in the side room.
"That little maid just came here today, right? What is your name? ”
"Mrs. Hui, her name is Qin Liusu." Facing what Mrs. asked, Xiaoyu replied. But Xiao Yu muttered in her heart. It's so puzzling how Madame could ask this.
"Madam, Liusu is the same as Xiaoyu, she was also sold here, Madam, you have always eaten fasting and chanted Buddha, and you always have a bodhisattva's heart, so spare her today!" Xiaoyu begged Madame.
"Don't intercede for her anymore, I'll just look at today's matter, and I won't punish her for the time being, if she is still clumsy tomorrow, I will punish her for kneeling in the yard for a day."
Although the lady was moved with a little compassion, she became sad and sad when she thought that a little maid also ignored her question.
When she is middle-aged, she is decrepit and lovely, and she can now do anything to pull her husband into a relationship with him no longer favoring her. When you're bored, you're cranky.
After all, the second and third ladies are younger than her.
And if she hadn't given birth to a son, what was the use of being the master's main room.
If she had given birth to a daughter, she really couldn't imagine what her life in the house would be like.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwan closed her eyes in pain and covered her chest with her hands. "Madame, ma'am, are you alright?" "It's okay, help me to sit in the pavilion in front for a while! Yu Qingwan said in a low voice.
Thinking of the days in the house, Yu Qingwan thought of the second and third ladies having conceived children one after another, until the child was born, but her stomach did not move at all.
Thinking about it at that time, if there was no favor from the master, it would really be better to live than to die, in addition to tasting all kinds of humiliation from the second and third ladies, but also to let the housekeeper and the subordinates look at her jokes coldly.
But now everything is as she wishes, but she is not happy at all, the third son Zhang Sizong was born to her, and the eldest son Zhang Yucheng and the second son Zhang Sifu were born to the second and third wives.
Although his son is a son-in-law, he is not as sensible as his brothers, which always breaks Yu Qingwan's heart, and it is also because of the third son that her relationship with her master has become stiff.
"Liusu, we can go to dinner together today, you don't have to go to the firewood room to be punished." Xiaoyu cheered.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, I knew you would definitely help me."
Qin Liusu shed tears of gratitude as she spoke, she had experienced so many things, she couldn't even experience the so-called warmth of the world now. Xiaoyu made her feel warm again.
The two girls had dinner together like this, and you whispered softly, like meeting a confidant, there were always endless words, and a burst of sleepiness hit.
Xiaoyu asked Qin Liusu for a long time, but Qin Liusu didn't respond at all.
"Liusu, you're not going to fall asleep, are you?" No response was heard, only Qin Liusu's even and shallow breathing was heard. Xiao Yu smiled, closed her eyes happily, and prepared to fall asleep. It snowed again at midnight.
The next day, Xiaoyu and Liusu went to serve Mrs. to dress up and have breakfast together, in order not to give Mrs. a chance to punish Qin Liusu, Xiaoyu asked Qin Liusu to take a rag in the front hall to remove the ashes, and go to serve Mrs. to dress and dress alone.
Today's lady is quite easy-going, and after only combing it once, she thinks that Xiaoyu helped her comb her hair in a beautiful bun.
Not overly nitpicky as usual. After dressing up, Madame said as usual that she was going out for a walk.
When she walked to the front hall and saw Qin Liusu, she asked Qin Liusu and Xiaoyu to accompany her out for a walk.
The snow outside will stop. Today's weather is very good, and the snow on the road has been swept away early in the morning.
Xiaoyu helped Mrs. put on a begonia-colored cloak, and Qin Liusu followed behind with a hand stove to warm Mrs. His. As he walked, Qin Liusu's feet slipped, and he actually threw his wife's hand warmer hand stove far away.
"You, how do you do things. I'm going to teach you a good lesson today! Now go and kneel for me in the courtyard in front of me, and get up again tomorrow. ”
In this way, the housekeeper took the two family members to the front courtyard and brought her to kneel in the middle of the courtyard, and the people who passed by whispered quietly.
"I heard that she knocked over Madame's hand stove before she was punished."
"yes. It's pitiful on such a cold day. ”
"Let's go quickly, if the lady sees it, we will also be punished together."
A few passers-by hurriedly walked away after saying this. In the morning, I heard someone say that the third prince was coming, and then a man with a lofty spirit came in through the main entrance.
As soon as the man entered, he decided to go and see his mother. As we walked, snow began to fall in the sky again. Peach blossom snow in March. It makes people feel a little cold.
The weather was still so cold, as cold as the courtyard of the Grand Lady. In the flying snowflakes, a woman knelt there, and saw that the woman was wearing a slightly simple plain white long cotton dress.
It's just that her cotton clothes are embroidered with dark brown threads with strange tree branches, and with peach silk threads, blooming red plums.
From the hem of the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightens the thin waist, showing her graceful figure, although she is kneeling, you can still feel that she is a stunning beauty.
Zhang Sizong walked in front of Qin Liusu: "Girl, why are you kneeling here, it's such a cold day, hurry up." "The third son, Zhang Sizong, has just come back from outside, of course he doesn't know that the person who punished Qin Liusu for kneeling is his mother.
Qin Liusu remained silent, Qin Liusu felt so cold all over his body at this moment, and he didn't want to say a word to the man in front of him. Seeing that the beauty was so indifferent, Zhang Sizong decided to go to visit his mother first.
I haven't seen her for so long, and I don't know how her old man's health is.
While thinking about it, I was reluctant to leave. Strode towards his mother's room. Seeing his mother, Zhang Sizong asked, "Mother, who is the woman kneeling outside?" Such a cold day. ”
"I punished her to kneel, if she is still alive by this time tomorrow, it can only prove that she has a great life, so let her resign herself to fate. As for you, don't worry about it so much. These slaves and maids should also teach a good lesson, otherwise in this mansion, where will there be a way for a mother to live. ”
While having lunch with his mother, Zhang Sizong looked at the weather outside, and there were still snowflakes.
"Mother, even if she is blessed to live tomorrow, she will freeze out and get sick, you eat fast and chant Buddha every day, why do you have to go with a maid."
Yu Qingwan looked at her son who had always loved her for a maid to say this, and she was very unhappy.
"She is just a maid, how can she make the third son in your Zhang Mansion care so much, could it be that you have other ideas?"
Yu Qingwan looked at her son suspiciously.
"Such a beautiful woman, kneeling in the cold snow, anyone who sees it, will see me pity, not to mention that my son thinks she is indeed very beautiful. It's a rare beauty. Zhang Sizong said without hesitation.
"Men, all day long, it's either power or beauty. Copy the scriptures with me, and in the evening I will tell the kitchenette to cook something you love. ”
Reprimanding is reprimand, Yu Qingwan still looks at her son dotingly.
It didn't take long for Yu Qingwan to instruct the small kitchen to prepare the evening's meals, most of which were her son's favorite dishes.
In this way, Zhang Sizong accompanied his mother to copy the scriptures for an afternoon.
