Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Third Lady Gambles on the Head 1

"Papapa" firecrackers, it rings the bell of spring.

The year 1931 passed quietly, and 1932 had arrived, according to tradition: the first day of the Lunar New Year was the day of reunion, and everyone had to sit together to celebrate the reunion.

Early in the morning, Aiju helped the third lady to walk in the backyard.

The third lady stood up, took a breath softly, and not only sighed: Sister Aiju, do you smell it, now even the air is filled with the smell of firecrackers.

Aiju responded: Yes, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone is setting off firecrackers to pray for the coming year's joy.

The third lady said: This year is the first year I came here to spend the New Year, do you have any special customs for the New Year?

Tell my sister.

Aiju continued: Actually, there is nothing special, it is nothing more than killing pigs, this third lady has already seen it, and there is also: during the Chinese New Year, go to relatives, get a little New Year's money between each other, and congratulate each other.

The third lady said, "That's right, it's similar to the customs of our hometown."

However, I have been here for almost a year, and I don't know what happens to my parents at home! Especially my father, whose health I am most worried about, he is busy all day long, tirelessly busy.

Aiju persuaded: The third lady should not be sad! I believe that they will get better, they have not been knocked down before, not to mention that now, the third lady can not believe me.

However, the third lady always has to believe in Young Master Feng!

The third lady argued: "That being said!

However: "Far water cannot quench the thirst of the near".

Ai Ju said: The third lady should not say this! Young Master Feng's business is all over the world, since Young Master Feng can meet you, he will definitely be able to deal with the aftermath.

The third lady replied: My sister didn't want to ask for their family's money, although my father was a laborer, he could also work hard to earn money to support the family, but out of my sister's selfishness, my sister still hoped that they could live a better life.

Aiju smiled: These are all things that children should do, and the third lady doesn't have to feel embarrassed.

"Happy New Year, Third Lady!"

The third lady turned her head and saw Ah Feng standing in front of her, she hurriedly replied: Sister Ah Feng Happy New Year!

Ah Feng said: The contemptible person came out to walk the bird for the third lady (Ah Feng pointed to the birdcage held in his left hand).

Aiju smiled at Ah Feng and said, "Third lady, the cold wind is swishing outside, let's go to the room with Sister Ah Feng to talk!"

The third lady replied, "Oh! yes! Let's go."

Ah Feng led the third lady to the room.

Aiju hurriedly handed over a pot of hot tea.

Ah Feng hurriedly got up and said, "Aiju, don't move!

Aiju thanked: Thank you, Sister Feng!

However, I am a subordinate, and this is what I should do.

Ah Feng said: But your feet?

Aiju shook off the injured foot and called: Sister Feng, look, my foot is no longer in trouble!

Ah Feng said: However, your feet are quite different from the way you used to walk.

Aiju smiled: Maybe this is the reason for winter!

The third lady asked: Is Sister Aiju really okay?

Aiju said, "If you don't believe it, you can touch it."

The third lady smiled: It's good that Sister Aiju is cured.

Ah Feng called: A few days ago, the contemptible saw the third lady holding the hand of the eldest lady.

I don't know! What happened between the third lady and the eldest lady?

Aiju continued: "Nothing! That day, the third lady and I went to the eldest lady's room and knocked on the door.

Ah Feng responded: "Oh"!

The third lady said: My sister is really kind-hearted, and she is both docile and decent, and she deserves to be regarded as a model.

Ah Feng shouted: The eldest lady is indeed good!

However, the third lady still has to keep a certain distance from the eldest lady.

Aiju asked: Why?

Ah Feng replied: "Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts" This is what we should be clear as subordinates.

The third lady argued: My sister is so kind!

Moreover, my sister treats people so modestly!

I thought: my sister will never harm anyone.

Ah Feng nodded and continued: Yes, yes, yes.

However, the contemptible person still reminded Aiju that if the old lady blames it, we, as subordinates, can not afford it.

The third lady called: Sister Ah Feng is too worried, you also saw it yesterday, the old lady saw me with my sister, she was so happy?

Aiju smiled: Come, come, come, Sister Afeng, let's raise a glass of tea together.

Aiju carried the teapot and poured tea into Ah Feng's cup.

Ah Feng casually blocked the cup and said: No, no, thank you Aiju!

Ah Feng continued: Now that the weather is so cold, I'd better forget it!

Aiju replied: That's good! Sister Afeng sits down on the fire and is careful of catching a cold!

Aiju turned and walked towards the third lady.

The third lady called: Sister Aiju, don't pour tea to Xiaoya! Xiaoya is not thirsty now.

Aiju stopped and put the teapot back in its place.

Ah Feng said: Third lady, the contemptible person should say goodbye first, and the contemptible person has to send this bird back.

Otherwise, the old lady should be angry again.

The third lady replied: Okay! Sister Afeng, you go and get busy first.

Ah Feng resolutely retreated with the birdcage.

The third lady walked to the cabinet and rummaged through the contents of the cabinet.

Aiju asked, "Third Lady—what are you looking for?"

The third lady said, "I'll find some red paper."

Aiju thought for a moment and called, "Oh, third lady, sister!" The red paper seems to be placed in that box (Aiju points to the box under the windowsill).

The third lady hurriedly ran over, and she took out a pile of red paper from the box.

Aiju was a little puzzled and asked: What is my sister doing with these red papers?

The third lady hurriedly ran to the bed, and while touching the key, she said, "Sister Aiju, don't you also have this tradition here?" I want to prepare a few red envelopes in case of emergency.

Aiju smiled: The third lady really has a heart!

The third lady took out the key and opened the box, which contained all kinds of jewelry, as well as some loose silver.

The third lady carried the box to the table and emptied all the contents of the box.

The third lady asked: Sister Aiju, which of these things is the best?

Aiju looked at the things on the table, shining, Aiju was stunned and said: My sister is so good-looking! No matter what kind of matching, she will definitely be able to overwhelm a large piece.

The third lady smiled: Sister Aiju wants to make fun of her sister!

Aiju argued: My sister is so delicate! The whole house -- who doesn't know that my sister is a big beauty, why did Aiju make fun of her?

The third lady said: Sister Aiju, don't tease your sister! Sister Aiju came over to help pick one.

Aiju hurried to the table, she rummaged over and over on the table and chose a pair of bracelets, and called: This bracelet matches her sister very well, and her sister is really natural and unique to wear.

The third lady picked up the bracelet and asked: According to the habits here and here, how many silver taels should be wrapped in this red envelope?

Aiju responded: Our side is average! That is, about 1 penny, and some richer people will have enough for 2 wen.

The third lady successively put 4 cents in each bag.

Aiju saw it, and hurriedly said: The third lady doesn't have to be so wide-handed! The meaning of the New Year's money is fine, if the younger sister does this! It is easy to cause gossip! The old lady will definitely be unhappy!

After all, the younger sister's land is still the Feng Mansion's money.

The third lady replied: Sister Aiju doesn't have to worry!

However, this is the pocket money that Xianggong rewarded his sister, and my sister is here for the first time to celebrate the New Year, so she should give herself a little luck.

Aiju helped the third lady fold the red envelope.

The third lady turned around and put the jewelry in both hands into the box.

The third lady called: Sister Aiju, could you please help me bring the box back to the bedside?

Aiju slowly walked to the head of the bed with the box in her hand.

The third lady shouted: Sister Aiju, be careful!

Aiju walked back and said, "My sister Hugh treats me as a patient again! My feet are really fine! and I walked a little slower than before.

The third lady took out the pair of jade bracelets from her arms, put them on the table, and said: Sister Aiju, you can bring this pair of jade bracelets.

Aiju said: Sister, third lady! Aiju really doesn't dare.

The third lady argued: If you don't dare, you have to dare! Unless you don't recognize me as a sister.

Aiju said: Sister must not force Aiju! Aiju is a servant, and these jewelry of her sister are rare even when Aiju sees them.

Especially, it is this pair of bracelets, Aiju has never seen before.

It can be seen that the meaning of this pair of bracelets for her sister is extraordinary, such a valuable and commemorative thing, how can Ai Ju be possessed.

The third lady said: This pair of bracelets - usually my sister did not bring it, it was given by my sister when she married her father-in-law, and my sister did not like to wear jewelry.

Aiju said: Aiju never dared to accept it.

The third lady said: Sister Aiju has to make another excuse! Sister Aiju's affection for her sister is far above this pair of small bracelets, and her sister's gratitude to Sister Aiju is beyond words, today is the first day of the new year, and I wish "Sister Aiju a safe and healthy year and all the best."

Aiju replied affectionately: I wish "the three ladies and five blessings are coming, and good luck is at the head".

The third lady picked out four red envelopes, threw them on the bracelet, and asked Aiju to put them away.

Aiju said: Sister, this is ・・・・・・

The third lady said: These red envelopes are prepared for them, and the words of Lun seniority: "My sister should be their aunt."

Ai Juli said: My sister made this one, and I was really at a loss for my sister.

The third lady continued: Since Sister Aiju is at a loss! Sister Aiju still don't say any more, just catch it with both hands.

The corners of Aiju's mouth rose slightly, and she thanked her: Thank you, sister!

Aiju came to the table and put away the red envelope and bracelet.

"Bang, bang, bang" The door of the third lady kept ringing.

Aiju hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

Ah Feng called: Aiju, let's meet again.

Aiju asked: Sister Ah Feng is really! We are doing things together in the mansion, and the mansion is so big! It's normal to meet a few times a day! Sister Ah Feng, please come in!

Ah Feng took Aiju and strode into the room.

The third lady saw Ah Feng pulling Aiju slowly and shouted: "Sister Ah Feng is here! Sister Ah Feng is here! Everyone is sitting here to roast the fire.

Ah Feng thanked him: Thank you for your courtesy!

The third lady hurriedly took out a red envelope from her arms and handed it to Ah Feng.

Ah Feng said: "What are you doing here, third lady, don't torture the slave maid."

The third lady asked: Why did Sister Ah Feng say this?

The third lady said: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I give Sister A Feng a red envelope, wishing "Sister A Feng peace, happiness and happiness".

Ah Feng said: Thank you, Third Lady, I wish "Third Lady good health and good luck in everything."

The third lady stuffed the red envelope to Ah Feng.

Ah Feng took two steps back and called: Third lady, such a big person is contemptible, and contemptible people must not accept it.

The third lady said: Xiaoya is carefully taken care of by Sister Afeng, Xiaoya is really unable to repay, Xiaoya took advantage of the New Year, specially gave Sister A Feng a small red envelope, chatting about Xiaoya's inner apology, and hoping that Sister Afeng will not shirk?

Ai Ju shouted: Sister Afeng, don't embarrass the third lady anymore, the third lady has a good intention!

The third lady continued: That's it, Sister Aiju is right.

Ah Feng squirmed and thanked: Thank you, Third Lady!

"Eat, eat!" cried Bob.

Aiju opened the window and replied loudly: Bob, we heard you!

Ah Feng took the red envelope and helped the third lady out of the house.

Aiju followed closely.
