As soon as she heard the old lady coughing, Xia Hua, who was already about to open the tent, hurriedly let go of her hand, picked up the warm pear water that had been prepared in the morning, and said while opening the tent again: "Old lady, even if you want to scold the slave, you have to moisten your throat!" No one didn't scold me, but I was tired of myself, so it wasn't worth it. ”

The old lady likes the intimacy of this girl, because her throat is dry and she didn't say anything, after drinking some pear water under Xia Hua's service, she felt that her throat was better, so she pushed Xia Hua's hand away and smiled: "You girl, now you are used to being obedient, but your heart, although the old lady and I are old, but I am not confused, I wrote it down, and I remember to pick up what I like in my appreciative box and take the same, not to reply to me." "The old lady who serves Xia Hua intimately and thoughtfully will naturally not be stingy with that idea.

Xia Hua didn't feel complacent when she heard this, but she didn't shirk it, she knew that the box was very valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of their old lady, it was not worth anything at all, knowing that the old lady was really rewarding her, so she made fun of it and thanked her: "The slave and the maid will be disgusted with the old lady Xie for rewarding, now the slave and the maid have to pick and choose, the slave and the maid have long coveted those good things, this time the slave and the maid have to choose the best to take, and the old lady will not feel distressed at that time." He said flattering words on his lips, and his hands were also non-stop, and he had already hung up the tent.

The old lady liked her most so coolly and not twisting, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you can pick it hard, pick a few pieces well, and when you please me, I will go to the box myself to get it, wouldn't it be more convenient." ”

When the old lady said this, the few people who had just entered the house laughed, and when she saw them, the old lady was even happier, and said with a smile: "Don't be greedy, if anyone happens to win the favor of my old woman, go and pick up good things in the box yourself." ”

Coming in is the winter snow and autumn begonia and the rain dew of the pot, listening to the old lady's words, naturally they also want to have fun, they can actually be like summer flowers every day, the old lady is happy to enjoy some things, naturally will not be jealous of summer flowers can get good things, in a two big girls have always been good with Xia Hua sister, let alone look down on Xia Hua can get things, this will be if the spring willow is not necessarily, after all, the spring willow is a little like to pinch the tip, more or less than the summer flower is a little dirty.

As for the little girl Yu'er Lu'er, she won't have any ideas, they are just second-class little girls, but they are not qualified to be jealous of the big girl Sister Xia Hua, besides, Xia Hua treats them well every day, and takes care of them everywhere.

The old lady was happy today, and Dongxue served the old lady to wash up with Xia Hua while serving the old lady, and replied with a smile: "It can be seen that the old lady is really happy today, the slaves and maids are considered to have won Qiaozong'er, and turn around to let those who haven't caught up shed tears of envy!" ”

Before the old lady could speak, Qiu Tang, who was cleaning up the mattress behind her head, said very puzzledly: "What is this called, envy is envy, where do you say that tears are shed, this is not right." She only replied when she saw that the old lady was washing up and couldn't speak, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be so unruly.

The old lady also happened to wash up, spit out a mouthful of warm mouthwash in the mouth of the small copper bowl held by the little girl Lu'er, and took the warm handkerchief in Dongxue's hand, wiped the corners of her lips, and when she threw away the handkerchief in her hand, she smiled and said: "Qiu Tang is right, I'm also confused, Dongxue!" Tell us what it is. ”

Where does Dongxue know what it is, she just talks about it, but this time the old lady asked, she didn't dare to say that she was nonsense just now, her mind turned, and she smiled: "Back to the old lady, the slave maid is not talking nonsense, if someone knows that our old lady is so loving, they will definitely envy the slave maid, it doesn't matter how many things are, but it is rare to meet such a good master, envy and envy Don't you have to cry for your lack of good luck to serve the old lady." She didn't dare to mention that she originally wanted to say that Chunliu and the others didn't come, but if she did, she would have stabbed the hornet's nest.

Whether this is true or not, the old lady loves to hear it, she loves to be lively the most when she is old, smiled at the happy Dongxue, shook her head and said: "You! It's really a living treasure, it makes me laugh this morning, but I'm going to be beaten, but for the sake of your painstaking excuses, I'll spare you, but there is also a reward, go back to find your sister Xiahua, no matter how much you grab the copper coins, I'm reluctant to give you good, I have to keep good things and hook you to make me laugh. ”

The old lady's words really amused a group of people, Xia Hua was afraid that everyone would laugh too much, which would make the old lady bothered, so she diverted and said: "Old lady, today looks not as hot as yesterday, you can wear more hairpins, I look at this flower hairpin with a little emerald inlaid rubies is good, with a refreshing and festive." After speaking, he picked the hairpin out of the jewelry box and made a few strokes on the old lady's bun.

The old lady really turned her attention away from her, looked at the hairpin in the bronze mirror, felt good, looked festive, and nodded: "Xia Hua is more and more discerning now, yes, just use it." ”

Xia Hua got the order, and hurriedly smiled and picked up the wooden comb and began to comb the old lady's hair and bun, they were cleaning up, and they listened to the little girl who was playing the curtain outside back and forth, Mother Shi came, and the old lady hurriedly ordered Mother Shi to come in quickly.

Mother Shi often comes, waiting outside to listen to the rumor is just a courtesy, listening to the old lady's instructions inside, stepped in one step earlier, first to the old lady to see the salute, when the old lady shouted to be exempt, she looked up, saw the old lady was sitting in front of the dresser to comb her hair, she hurriedly walked a few steps to the old lady's head, took the comb in Xia Hua's hand, and said: "It's a good time today, let's let the old slave come to serve the old lady to comb her hair, Miss Xia Hua don't dislike me first." ”

Xia Hua knows that this Shi's mother's combing skills are good, the old lady's hair in the early years is combed by her, and she has to mention her own skills, this Shi's mother is not dissatisfied with helping the old lady comb her hair, and besides, she is not a stupid, now Shi's mother came so early, and specially said that she wanted to comb the old lady's hair, but it was because she had something to say to the old lady that she came up with such an excuse to support them, how could she be so blind, If she was so blind, it is estimated that the old lady would have driven herself away long ago.

Xia Hua's mind turned, her smile did not change, and she deliberately said with a smile: "Alas, it can be seen that my mother really doesn't love me today, my mother's combing skills are the second, who dares to say that it is the first, if today's mother hooks the old lady's good vision, I will have it tomorrow, old lady, you can be tolerant of the stupid craft of the slave maid." ”

The old lady was amused by her clever appearance, but she was anxious to know what Mother Shi had found out, so she didn't want to say more, but smiled and said: "Okay, okay, look at your poor appearance, if Ming'er is not good at combing, I will only punish you to give Mother Shi a few days of beating her back, and learn all her skills, and I will spare you, old lady." ”

Mother Shi listened, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to beat it for a few days, who doesn't know that the old lady is the most inseparable from the summer flower girl, how dare the old slave take the old lady's heart, but the old slave licked his face and begged the summer flower girl to drink a few cups of tea, but it made it, and when the time came, he drank the tea, and he would pass on all the skills that the old lady valued to the girl." ”

Xia Hua also felt obediently, and immediately apprenticed: "This relationship is good, now the slave maid will take advantage of the old lady's skill, first apprenticeship, and the apprenticeship ceremony will be prepared in the future, and I hope that Mother Shi will not dislike me as a stupid person." ”

Mother Shi was just talking about playing just now, and seeing Xia Hua so good, it was not easy to excuse herself, but her combing skills were not specially learned from a teacher, and she didn't care who she taught, so she smiled and said: "Okay, since you have a heart, the old slave will look up to himself in front of the old lady, I will accept your little apprentice, I just hope you don't dislike my craft in the future." ”

When the old lady heard this, she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Xia Hua, this girl is the most obedient, where will I dislike your craft, hurry up Xia Hua, you take them down to prepare some good tea, and I will apprentice later, old lady, I will allow you to borrow flowers and offer Buddha today." ”

Xia Hua knew that the old lady was letting them avoid it, so she smiled and said: "Yes, the slave and the maid thank the old lady for the flowers, and the slave and maid will go down and prepare well, but the old lady should not comb her hair too delicately, and she will have breakfast in a while, but she doesn't dare to pass the hour." ”

The old lady knew that she had been reminding herself that she couldn't say it for a long time, and her stomach couldn't stand it after breakfast time, so she didn't feel ironed in her heart, but she said: "I know, I'm so confused, you are also worried, okay, go." ”

Mother Shi nodded unconsciously after listening to Xia Hua's words, no wonder the old lady is so wary of people, and she also trusts this girl so much, what she said just now can be regarded as just right, not only reminding herself not to drag the old lady to say things for too long, lest she make a mistake on a whim and tire the old lady's body, so that the old lady will remember not to like it in the future, and show her concern for the old lady, so that the old lady is comfortable to listen to, and feel that she just kindly reminded her own heart, so she also said: "No wonder the old lady loves this girl, Even the old slave has to love this time, Zhenzhen'er's crystal heart. ”

Xia Hua said those words just now, but in line with the past habits, I really didn't deliberately mention Mother Shi, but since Mother Shi thought so, she wouldn't be stupid to explain anything, so she smiled, said she didn't dare, and took Dongxue Qiutang and the little girl Yu'er Lu'er to carry the things for washing and retreated together, as soon as they went out, the little girl Yu'er and Lu'er quietly let out a sigh, they were trained by Shi's mother when they were selected, and Shi's mother was very strict at that time.
