127 Siqi's Letters
Isn't there a new thief?
Yunzhu lightly put the kettle filled with warm water in the space, and did not return directly to the bedroom, but stayed by the door for a while. I wanted to boil another pot of hot water for the musk moon and them, but I saw the mother-in-law guarding the courtyard gate going out from the corner gate.
With a creak, the man went out, but the door was not secured.
A lot of moonlight slipped in from the corner door, shining on the ground, and the clouds looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see the mother-in-law come back.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Fei entered the house with a teapot, and saw Yun Zhu in a daze at the door, so she hurriedly pulled her into the house with a smile, "Why is the corner door open?" Who's out? ”
"Oh, Mrs. Zhang, who is guarding the door, went out, there was some movement just now, I don't know who is walking outside."
"It's so late, who can be outside. Hey, don't you know, when Sister Mandarin Duck went to deliver medicine to the second girl, the second girl was crying, ouch, there was such a big piece of broken skin on her forehead...... I don't know if I will have a scar in the future. "Even if my mother returned to the West early, it was easy to find a husband who was suitable in all aspects, but it was such an unsightly idea.
called Qifei said, Yingchun was unlucky to bump into such an unobtrusive person, and couldn't help sneering, "The second girl is now making trouble like this for a little gossip, and she ...... That background, my father is not like my father and my mother, who in this capital dares to ask for marriage? ”
Women are vulnerable! Even if Yingchun is a victim, she will still be expelled from the circle of mate selection because she is 'not decent enough', and such a young lady who does not leave the door and does not step out of the door, half of her life's hope is on her husband and heirs, which is really desperate.
Tsk, this Qihail is really a person who is about to leave, he speaks lawlessly, and he dares to fire more than Qingwen!
"It's just right, at least the old lady and the eldest master are going to push this family business, it's better than jumping into the fire pit with your eyes closed." Yunzhu smacked.
If Sun Shaozu didn't publicize it in public, and didn't damage the face of the Jia family, even if he really degraded Yingchun to nothing in private, even if he was beaten out of his brain when he married in the future, he would have no place to reason.
Jia Yu will not argue with the Sun family for the sake of a concubine.
Five thousand taels.
Qi Fei saw that Yunzhu wholeheartedly felt that Yingchun's marriage was a good retreat, and thought of the way she often drew patterns for Qingwen, and couldn't help but show surprise.
She said tentatively, "But I'm afraid it's difficult for the second girl to find such a good husband, don't you think it's a pity?" ”
"What's the pity? In such a big mansion as ours, no matter how expensive the master is, he only sleeps in one bed. In this day, if you can't see the future, then at least you have to live comfortably in front of you. ”
"I can't complain that Baoyu said to mention you." Qi Fei covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
To promote subordinates, in addition to whether they speak and act appropriately, the more important thing is to see whether they are in line with the wishes of the superiors. Speaking of errands alone, there are more people who do well-thought-out errands at the bottom, do they all have the opportunity to use them?
Yunzhu's bright-eyed temperament is also in line with Baoyu's eyes.
As he was talking, a Baoyu came in, Yun Zhu laughed twice, and slipped away quickly, "I, Sister Qi, you are busy, I'll go and see why Mrs. Zhang hasn't come back, what does this open door look like!" ”
Seeing that she ran away, Qi Fei shook her head helplessly, this girl seems to be very resistant to serving Baoyu, if she knows that the girl in front of Baoyu has twice as much money as she is now, I don't know how to feel?
The yard has set a rule of closing the door at midnight every day, which is not only unified management, but also for fear that someone below will be restless.
The buildings in the Grand View Garden are close to the mountains and rivers, Yihong Courtyard is a rare quiet in the middle of the noisy, the corner door of the back cover room is a ditch a few steps out, and then go forward is the lotus pond, then there are many directions, and I don't know what this mother-in-law did when she came out for so a long time.
She has always been quiet and self-contained, and she has never swam in the garden at night for so long, if she didn't know that this is the mansion, as far as the eye can see, there is only the moonlight and a few sparse lights, and it looks no different from the wilderness.
More delicate than the wilderness?
I heard that when the Grand View Garden was lit up all night, it was also the day when the concubine was provincial, and there were candles on the main roads in front of the housekeeper of Tanchun.
"Who!"
"Ouch!"
"Xiaoyun? How did you get out? Mrs. Zhang carried a lantern and pestle on Yunzhu's face, and after looking at it with empty eyes, she was relieved when she saw that it was an acquaintance, and she rubbed her ankles, and there was still a little shame on her old face.
"It's Aunt Zhang, you can scare me! I see that the corner door is not closed, what should be wrong, is it okay? ”
Mrs. Zhang helped Yunzhu up with her face, and saw that her face was not as domineering as others, after thinking about it, she didn't say anything more, and she was about to go to Yihong Courtyard with the support of the old and the young.
"I'm worried about you, the old woman is too old and shallow, and she can't sleep at the slightest breeze, so she has to come out and take a look......"
The cloud beads seemed to unintentionally support Mrs. Zhang's sleeve, and with a limp of her feet, she bounced off the yellow paper in her sleeve, and with a sigh, she knelt on the ground, and the spread skirt just covered the paper.
"It's not Aunt Zhang, my feet are so painful, I can't walk in pain, can you go back and see which sister is in the pantry, can you come and pick me up?" She wrinkled her little face, and said with a pitiful smile that Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened.
"That'...... Then what should I do, girl, I have a few pastes of Panax notoginseng paste, why don't I send them to you later? It's so late, I'll carry you, right? ”
The old woman spoke incoherently, and Yunzhu was even more determined that the book was greasy. There are not many literate people in the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Zhang's gatekeeper is even more illiterate among the illiterate, and she can't recognize her name, how can she carry a book in her sleeve?
Now that I sit down and get closer, I can smell the smell of ink coming out of her sleeves.
"It's okay, I know in my heart, maybe I don't need the plaster, but I suddenly collapsed, I can't use my strength, although it's at the door, but I'm still far away from the dormitory, how can I let you carry it?"
"Huh...... Aunt Zhang, you ...... Can you leave me the lantern? It's dark here, I ...... "I want to read the words through the lantern, Yunzhu said in his heart."
Mrs. Zhang wiped her hands and said busily, "Ouch, okay, our wife is used to walking dirt roads, and the girl will wait for me for a while, ah." ”
Yun Zhu praised the old woman's presbyopia in her heart, and as soon as she turned around, she couldn't wait to lift her skirt and take out the letterhead.
Fortunately, there is no paste sealing, otherwise it is not easy to operate, by the dim candlelight, as soon as the cloud bead opened, a crimson vanilla purse fell to the ground, and the content of the letter was even more shocking.
Oh my God, Yun Zhu was stunned and folded the letterhead back according to the original traces, looked left and right and hid the letterhead under the grass behind him.
The letter did not say who the surname was, nor did it say who it was intended for, but the deep meaning of the words was clearly that they had been exchanged for a long time.
First said that the parents had noticed the meaning of you and me, and then said that the girl had not yet come out of the cabinet, and she could not fulfill the wish of the two.
There are also ...... who meet and exchange incense beads and sachets
Didn't you catch a glimpse of which pair of mandarin ducks?
"Just as I was about to say, the girls wanted to enjoy the moonlit night in the garden, and they specially ordered that no lights be lit, and then I saw you running out, and now you are okay? Can you still move your feet? The person who came was Qihail, she chattered, and when she saw Yunzhu sitting on the ground, she hated iron and steel.
Throttling has to come out with a nice excuse, Yunzhu rolled her eyes in her heart. Leaning obediently on Qi Fei's shoulder, he jumped and jumped back, passing by Mrs. Zhang's side, and did not forget to suddenly realize, "I don't have the lantern in our hands, and I have to ask you to get it, look at me, I've caused you a mess." ”
There was a purse of paper next to the lantern, and if the recipient found out that it was lost, he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, there is no privacy between people, and the management method of both prosperity and loss is not strong for the big guys, and Yunzhu condemns his behavior and rejoices at the same time.
"Sister Qi, you say, if the girls in the garden look at the right eye, what will the masters do?" It is impossible for Yunzhu to ignore such a big sign directly, but she is afraid that it will be self-defeating, if she lets it go, Mrs. Zhang is a person from Yihong Courtyard, what should she do if she is implicated?
"Since it is a marriage, if the family has children, it will be seen if the mother and the son disagree. After that, it is the dowry of the face, and the one who has no name or surname can ask the lady in charge of the house, and then he can put it back to the banquet, even if the ceremony is completed. Qifei was not interested in these things, but when Yunzhu asked, she still poured everything she knew to her.
If it weren't for the fact that she was leaving, Qifei wouldn't want to destroy this salted fish like this, so that she could stand up.
Thinking of the sentence that the girl had not yet left the pavilion, Yunzhu had a faint guess in her heart, and continued to ask, "What if the girl who serves the girl?" ”
"It depends on the girl's meaning, generally the girl will arrange the girl's place before and after leaving the cabinet, either to accompany her husband's house, or to stay at her mother's house to send, and the girl will also nod her head for marriage." It's so easy that Qi Hail doesn't have to be on duty at night, and now it's called a small entanglement, and it's such a sensitive topic.
She was stunned as she spoke, her beautiful and dignified face showed a slight scrutiny, and she asked Yunzhu vigilantly, "What are you asking these for?" ”
Yun Zhu was so frightened that she almost stepped on the threshold, and when she saw Qi Fei glancing at her, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and stood up straight, and said honestly, "I just want to ask." ”
Where the note is going is still a matter of eight words, Yun Zhu thought about it, or observe it first and then see if he should tell Qi Fei, in case it was really just Mrs. Zhang's 'picked up'.
"Okay, if there is really something, just tell me and whisper." Qifei knocked on the little girl in front of her, and finally said that she would give her a three-day vacation, and she didn't have to be on duty to take care of her in the room, and she said what she wanted to eat and her.
"Thank you, big sister Qi, you are so good!" If it weren't for the numbness on her feet, Yunzhu couldn't wait to pounce on her and kiss her, spring sleepy, autumn and summer napping, people with long bodies simply didn't wake up from sleep, now that she has a holiday, she is as happy as anything.
Early in the morning of the second day, Yun Zhu sat on the threshold and sucked brown sugar egg water, and saw Fang Guan passing outside, and the eyes of the two collided in one place.
Yunzhu beckoned.
"Master! I heard you broke your foot, but are you better? Fangguan jumped into the house like a little magpie, and she always had a smile on her face, which was very pleasing.
"Okay, who did you listen to?"
"It's spread all over the place, saying that you visited the garden with someone last night and stepped on the air!"
Who is it! Who is so making up nonsense! Yun Zhu felt that there was a puff of fire in his ears, was it something to be proud of having a tryst with someone? What's more, who did she have a tryst with? Isn't this a splash of dirty water!
"Who said that?!"
Fang Guan was also startled when he saw Yunzhu's solemn appearance, restrained the smile on his lips, and said timidly, "The door, Mrs. Zhang on the door." ”
A bad old lady!
Yunzhu hissed and panted, eager to confront her mother-in-law now. But after thinking about it, such a self-defeating rumor really spreads, and he doesn't have to come out to confront him, and the person involved in Qihai can puncture the ambiguous flame.
As he spoke, he attached his ear to Fang Guan's head, and then handed over a purse and raised his eyebrows, "This is tea money, you can do it, and I will invite you to a birthday banquet." ”
Now in June, this body will soon be nine years old again.
It's nice to live another year.
"Don't worry, I understand!" Fang Guan knew that the master was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would bring her reputation, so he called her a little apprentice to 'strike first'.
Let Mrs. Zhang spread such a headless and brainless nonsense, I am afraid that someone with a heart will talk about it, and even if there is no shadow at that time, maybe it will become a pot and be deducted from the master. Therefore, if you catch Mrs. Zhang's shortcomings first, you can tell her to shut up.
"Okay, I'll rest assured that you can do things." Don't look at the teenage children, these real children have a lot more eyes than their own fake children.
Spend a little money and ask Fang Guan to watch the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang, it is far easier than to keep an eye on it herself, as long as you know where she went, check one by one, and you can always see the main owner.
Half of the matter was settled, and her mood was much better. Waiting until noon, Aunt Song in the kitchen also specially gave her a bowl of chicken and tofu roasted mutton blood, the tender garlic leaves mixed with the unique smell of mutton blood, Yunzhu ate a fresh, and praised a few times.
Actually, her feet are not very painful, but since Qifei gave her a fake, she has to do enough, who is sick like a wandering chicken.
After eating, I took the soles of my shoes under the window for a while, and drew two bare-bottomed children with arrows, ready to give them to her the next time I went to see Qingwen.
After a busy circle, I had to sit on the bed empty, count half a pillar of incense silver, and then lie down and fell asleep with sleepiness and clothes.
What a fulfilling day.
The cool breeze in summer, the green outside the window is soft on the treetops, accompanied by the smoky wind of lotus fragrance, which makes people sleepy.
There was an overwhelming amount of silver in the dream, but it was shaken so that she couldn't pick up any of them, Yunzhu was in a hurry, so she pushed it, and this push made her open her eyes slightly.
"Master, wake up soon, something is wrong!" Fang Guan's small hands were on Yun Zhu's shoulders, shaking constantly, and even wanted to pinch her nose.
Yun Zhu squinted her eyes, and her voice was a little nasal, and she asked in a breathless voice, "You're back so soon?" ”
"It's over, it's over, it's all over! I followed Mrs. Zhang out of the garden, and called my wife to meet me in the east courtyard! ”
Then I bumped into it, and I didn't say that no one was allowed to walk in the house during the day.
"That mother-in-law Zhang is going to deliver a letter to Sister Si Qi, and she is still sending a letter from a little girl in the outer courtyard! It was taken away by my wife! ”
As soon as Yunzhu was excited, he turned over and sat down from the bed to the pedal, exclaiming, "What!?" ”
