304 Winter plums
And Qiu Lian, who was sent to Zhong Xiaoxin, is the most beautiful one in the Four Seasons Girl's Ring, but she is big-eyed and empty-hearted, she is ambitious about her status and status, and she will not be a little loyal to her master, although her face is beautiful, she will not be used in anyone's hands.
And Dongmei is too cold, it is estimated that no one will be able to use her.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter have their own characteristics, and Kuju heard that there is a legend in the house that the place where they came out was not clean, and it was Bai who bought it from that kind of place. It is said that the name is in everyone's eyes, and the four types will be liked by men, and naturally there will be people who cultivate girls with different temperaments according to different types, but Zhong Xiaoxin feels that Dongmei's temperament is too cold, and it really doesn't look like it was raised in those places. If you really came from a young age in Qinglou Chu Pavilion, even if you take the cold route, in fact, you are just playing the high-end taste of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that it will not be so cold that you don't even go out of the door, don't even speak, and don't even have an expression.
Not to mention that Zhong Xiaoxin is the heroine, it is not uncommon for people to show their skills, Dongmei even dresses like a sister-in-law on weekdays, and she doesn't bring any jewelry, but she really looks like a layman at home.
Zhong Xiaoxin had no one to serve in front of her, and she didn't know what Dongmei's idea was, so she called her in. Dongmei entered the house, didn't talk much, didn't even smile coldly, saw that Zhong Xiaoxin had no tea in the teacup, added a cup of tea, and stood next to her without saying a word, looking like she didn't know what to do.
Zhong Xiaoxin has never seen a girl like Dongmei, let alone her life and future in the hands of others, that is, when she was a small clerk in her last life, when she encountered the leader who didn't speak coldly, she would tell a few jokes, at least you should ask more, what does the master command. In this way, the wood was also sent by the Bai family to be an aunt in the future, and it is more lively to raise a cat at home than to raise a winter plum.
Zhong Xiaoxin felt that Dongmei and Qiu Lian were not fellow travelers, whether it was in personality, temperament or mental temperament, they were different, so she asked her: "Dongmei, are you from a family of eunuchs?"
Dongmei raised her head suddenly, stared at Zhong Xiaoxin vigorously, and nodded, "Yes." β
That's right, Dongmei's temperament is not like the specially pretended cold temper raised by Fireworks Willow Lane, like a young lady who has suffered a family change in a high-ranking family, that is, she refuses to please people, and she will not please people, such a temper is a little bad when she is a young lady, not to mention that she is still a maid ring, and it is not good to say, Dongmei was also assigned to Qiluo Courtyard, and no one paid attention to her, otherwise she would have been punished I don't know how many times she would have been punished for this kind of temperament.
Zhong Xiaoxin stopped talking after asking. The official woman who suffered a family change is nothing more than her father and brother who committed a crime and was sold to the church or lived on the street, so that the parties themselves said that everyone is full of grievances, Zhong Xiaoxin can find Chi Si for Zhong 2 to discuss the matter of the holy decree, but she will not go to the heavens for a girl.
Zhong Xiaoxin didn't speak, Dongmei looked at her for a long time before she spoke: "Miss, the water is cold, I'll pour it and help you change a glass." "I actually have a little bit of a meaning to please Zhong Xiaoxin, in fact, the tea in the teacup has just been renewed, and it is still far from 'water cool', about Dongmei In addition to renewing the tea, I don't know what Yahuan should do.
Zhong Xiaoxin shook her head, none of the maids under her command were undertrained, if only she could bring kumquat to her side. The reason why Zhong Xiaoxin called Dongmei in was indeed something to order. Zizhu and the other three maids have all gone to run errands for her, and Zhong Xiaoxin has one more thing, which really needs to be done by manpower.
"You take Qiu Lian, clean up the Qiluo Courtyard well, register all the dilapidated places, and after lunch today, you will call someone to come over the house to repair it, and in the house, there are too few decorations, what should be furnished, it is up to you to take the idea, what is lacking, go to the second wife to get it. Zhong Xiaoxin said.
Qiluo Courtyard has been ignored for too long, it can be said that there is nothing to ask for, before Zhong Xiaoxin first arrived, although she got face in front of Xiao Shen, but she also received a set of tea sets, a few pieces of fabric, and some high-grade food from her, and now the Zhong family has asked for her to come to her, she doesn't take the opportunity to knock on more benefits, it's not too much of a loss. If she hadn't married sooner or later, she would have wanted to renovate the yard.
Dongmei looked at Zhong Xiaoxin with some surprise, Zhong Xiaoxin ignored her, and there was no other command, Dongmei believed that Zhong Xiaoxin really ordered her. This kind of thing is to register and receive valuables, all of which are done by the henchmen around the young lady, Dongmei is obviously stuffed in by the Bai family, she didn't expect Zhong Xiaoxin to dare to use her. Dongmei was a little happy, Zhong Xiaoxin could guess that she had been the daughter of an official family by her gestures, and she could probably think that she was wronged.
In the past, she was bought and sold, and her body couldn't help it, and her heart was like ashes, and then she was bought into the Ji'an Hou Mansion, she thought, with her own appearance, about which lady she would be sent to serve, she began to have hope, if she could accompany the young lady of which family to marry into the family of the official dignitary, she became an aunt, so she had the possibility of overturning the case for her family, but she didn't expect to be assigned to Zhong Xiaoxin's yard, Zhong Xiaoxin was married to King Duan, in her eyes, the person who will die sooner or later, the maid ring who serves will only be sent to Zhuangzi or sold again, Dongmei experienced despair after hope, and the whole person is like a dead treeγ
However, Zhong Xiaoxin has never died, not even after falling into the water. This made Dongmei see hope again, although King Duan has no power, but he is the closest person to the imperial power, her family's affairs, as long as King Duan is on the premise of the emperor, the case can be overturned. Even if Zhong Xiaoxin doesn't live to get married, at least the grandmother who came today is from the palace, and the grandmother assigned by the queen is also hope if she can give the queen a word in person. If Zhong Xiaoxin successfully marries into Duanwangfu, she becomes an aunt, and she can be more directly like Duanwang.
Her family is wronged, it is wronged, as long as the nobles above know the straight face, they will return her family to a clean slate. So Dongmei is now trying her best to please Zhong Xiaoxin, and Zhong Xiaoxin instructed her to count and register.
Dongmei pulled Qiu Lian out of the house, and the two of them were cleaning and registering the items at the same time, Qiu Lian was a make-up number, but Dongmei took out the vision of being the daughter of the official family back then, not good here, not good there. From the four seasons to the paintings on the wall, from the incense burned in the house to the paper pasted on the windows, from the candlesticks lit to the flower arrangements in the vase, to the screen of the plum blossom and the pit mat on the branches, to the thimble made inside and the daily incense ink, Dongmei looked at it nowhere and did not like it, and listed seven or eight large pieces of paper, if it weren't for Zhong Xiaoxin's previous copying of Buddhist scriptures, the Zhong family gave enough inferior paper and pen and ink, it is estimated that Dongmei would have to dictate these hundreds of things to Xiao Shen's family.
Xiao Shen's received the list and was not very angry, such things, it is said that it is also suitable for a young lady from a third- or fourth-grade official family to use as furnishings, but the Ji'an Hou Mansion has been in decline for so many years, and it has been poor for so many years, not to mention that it is used by the lady in the house, even if it is in the courtyard of the Xiao Shen family and the old Shen family, I am afraid that I will not be able to find such a complete set of objects.
