Chapter 13 The heart is much older than the face
Qianshan Twilight walked out of Shu Lanxuan with Mama, walked along the bluestone road, walked around for a long time, passed through a moon gate, and finally came to a courtyard, the courtyard door was planted with double-petaled hibiscus flowers, and there was a florist spraying water on the side, and the delicate petals were full of crystal water droplets, pale yellow and fine stamens.
"Madame is still waiting for the girl, please hurry up!" Mama glanced at her and said coldly.
Qianshan Twilight followed closely behind, and said disdainfully: "It's all about serving people, what are you dragging!"
The courtyard was very large, and she followed through one door after another, and no longer had the intention of admiring any scenery, when a poem suddenly came to mind: "The courtyard is a little deeper".
In a big family like Xiangfu, women often don't go out of the door, and they don't step out of the second door, in addition to saying hello all day long, it is intrigue, and there are more contradictions when there are more women.
Shangguan Qingqing seems to be not young, if it weren't for this hidden disease, his wife, and even Tongfang, there should be a lot of concubines.
While she was thinking wildly, Mama took her to the door of the main house, and a little maid at the door opened the curtain, and Qianshan Twilight walked into the house, "Wait here!"
Facing the door is a landscape splash ink painting, the painting style is heroic, at first glance it is from a famous family, the ground is covered with a gorgeous brocade carpet, rosewood tables and chairs, two rosewood flower stands are placed on the left and right, there are two pots of silver-edged Mo Lan, the fragrance of flowers is faint, the decoration in the house is not luxurious or shabby, worthy of the identity of the prime minister's wife.
"Thousand girls, Madame let you in!" said Mama in the inner room.
Qianshan Twilight sank down, then lifted the curtain and walked in, there was a very good woman lying on the soft couch in the inner room, about thirty times around, a pair of wonderful eyes were very similar to Shangguan Qingqing, she looked Qianshan Twilight up and down, and the grandmother on the side rebuked with a cold face: "Didn't anyone tell you the rules for people to see their masters?"
The corners of Qianshan Dusk's mouth twitched, and he knelt down unhurriedly: "Shicai was so shocked by Madame's immortal posture that he forgot to salute, and I hope Madame will forgive her sins!"
The eldest lady, who was originally indifferent, sneered when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a beautiful person! No wonder Che'er asked you to be his girl, come and sit!"
Chiyama got up with a smile and sat down nearby.
"Do you know what Madame Ben called you for?" asked the eldest lady, sitting up.
Qianshan Twilight shook her head, even if she could guess at this moment, she would pretend to be stupid, people who are too smart often die quickly!
The eldest lady glanced at the grandmother standing on one side, and the grandmother said: "Thousand girls, you are already the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, please abide by the maid's duty in the future, our son has already had a marriage contract with Zhou Wan'er, the daughter of the prince's young master, when he was young, I hope the girl knows how to be proportionate!"
"What does the master have to do with the slave and the maid if he has a marriage contract? The slave and the maid are just maids, and they have never thought about it!" said Qianshan Dusk solemnly. It turns out that this is to beat yourself, don't be delusional about climbing.
"Is this true?" asked the eldest lady Zhengse, since Shangguan Qingqing responded to the triple moon of this woman of unknown origin, she had been on guard. Especially when she saw Qianshan Twilight's face today, she played the drum, such a good appearance and ingenuity, over time, I am afraid that it will attract Shangguan Qingqing to fall in love for a long time!
Qianshan Twilight thought for a moment, and said casually: "How can the slave and maid coax Madame!"
Mama's eyes shone brightly: "Then, bring your deed of sale and put it in Madame's place..."
"Madam, let's be honest, the slave maid sold herself as a bride-in-law in the same village in the early years, and when she was sixteen years old, she married her, so the slave maid's deed of sale is not in her hand!" said Qianshan Twilight half-truthfully.
When the eldest lady heard this, she saw the pitiful and sad appearance of Qianshan Dusk wiping away her tears, so she relieved most of her heart, and she comforted: "Don't be sad, you have been serving Che'er well in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the past two years, and when you leave the mansion, Mrs. Ben promises to give you a rich dowry!"
"Thank you, ma'am!" Chiyama Twilight lowered her head, her eyes clear and translucent.
"The day after tomorrow is Che'er's birthday, and a few of his friends will come to celebrate him, you have to serve them well, don't neglect those nobles!" the eldest lady commanded again.
"Yes, ma'am!" said Qianshan Twilight obediently, "If nothing else, the slave will go back first?"
The eldest lady said, "Mama Wang, you will send the thousand girls out well!" Mama Wang got up with a smile on her face.
After walking out of the courtyard gate, Qianshan Twilight was able to take a long breath, these women, their hearts are much older than their faces, and they are about to become fine.
This is the second day of her coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she has already begun to guard against her. Fortunately, she only has the affection of master and servant for Shangguan Qingqing, and has no meaning of men and women.
When she came, she didn't remember the road, the sun was also vicious at the moment, and she didn't see the extra maid passing by, she had to walk along the shade of the trees, it seemed that she was going the wrong way, there was a huge lotus pond in front of her, at this moment, the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming, the green lotus leaves dance with the wind in the sun, the water in the pond is crystal clear, you can see the golden carp swimming under the wide lotus leaves, and the pond is full of soft and turquoise aquatic plants.
Squatting down, her shadow was reflected on the water, her sharp chin and loose bun were faintly visible, and she smiled faintly.
Suddenly, there was a loud "poof", and then the sound of the girl's frightened scream, "not good" is that someone fell into the water, she hurriedly looked around, and saw that someone was desperately slapping the pool not far away, she ran to the front in a few steps, and didn't have time to think about it, so she jumped down, fortunately it was by the pool, the water was not very deep, she grabbed the girl with all her might, and dragged the girl to the edge of the pool.
The girl was not very old, and after choking on a few mouthfuls of water, she was a little dazed and delirious. Qianshan Twilight slapped her back hard, and spit out a few mouthfuls of water in succession, before she gradually came to her senses, she opened her eyes, saw the wet and embarrassed Qianshan Twilight, and muttered, "You saved me!"
Qianshan Twilight was about to answer, but the maid ran over in a panic, "Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise the slave will be a big crime!" The maid helped the girl with tears in her eyes, "Thank you girl for saving the little lady, thank you!" The little girl on the side said with a grateful face.
"It's just a gesture!" Chiyama Twilight wiped the water from her face with her sleeve and prepared to get up to leave.
"Where are you on duty?" asked the girl who had fallen into the water.
"The slave maid is in Shu Lanxuan!" After speaking, Qianshan Twilight turned around and left, just now I heard the maid call her little miss, as expected, this is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion Shangguan Ruwan.
It's better to have more than less, she still wants to stay here peacefully for two years!
