1 Bead curtain (〇1)
The You family was lively today, the night before was stormy, the clouds blew away in the morning, and the wet ground was half dry for a group of men who came to do errands.
Hua Xin was looking for the eldest lady everywhere, rubbed the drizzle beads in the garden, and ran to the back of the wall in the corner gate to find Miaozhen.
She raised her hand and slapped her unkempt bun twice, and patted Miaozhen, who was bending over to peek at the door, "I didn't see you in the house when I got up early, I thought you must have run to the door to see the excitement." ”
Miao Zhen ignored it, and she laughed again: "You said last night that the master is not presentable, and you actually gave you a girl who has not left the cabinet to find a personal servant." Why are you rushing to see it again? ”
Miao Zhen still didn't turn her head, just looked at the people who came in and out of the door, "Hey, the old lady has made up her mind to find a man to follow me, and I don't follow it, isn't it disobedient and unfilial?" I can't beat them horizontally, so I might as well come and see who I'm looking for. Oh, look at that! ”
Looking at it, a man with a fat brain just came in from the corner door, young but young, but the round belly almost couldn't tie him.
Miao Zhen pulled the flower letter and was anxious: "Look, it's fatter than the master!" This can't be done, I heard the second lady of the Feng family say that there is a sedan chair man in their house who is very fat, and he can smell the smell of sweat when he sits in the sedan chair in the summer. I don't want that. ”
Hua Xin stared at the top of her head, "My girl, what do you know, you have a lot of strength to grow fat, and you can carry a sedan chair, one can top two." ”
Miao Zhen didn't pay much attention to her words, just tugged at her cuffs, "Look at that again." My God, he is as thin as a long noodle, and I am afraid that he will die in front of me, and we will have to collect his body for him. ”
Hua Xin tugged at her arm behind her, "What are you afraid of, we can't look down on it, can the master look at it?" Let's go back to the room, who can't look at people than the master? There's no need for you to rush here. Go back to the house and have breakfast. ”
After pulling a few times without moving, Miaozhen suddenly pulled out his arm and pointed to the door from afar, "Look at you, look at that person!" ”
At this moment a young man came in at the door, and was leaning sideways to talk to the old butler. He was a little taller, the corner door was a little shorter, and the old butler was half a head shorter than him, so his posture of bowing his head was embarrassing.
He wore an indigo cloth strip around his head and a dusty jacket. The material of the clothes is ramie, and it has been washed about a thousand times, and the wrinkles on the top have long been uneven, and those thin ravines seem to hide a kind of historical desolation and pain.
Now it is the autumn of Jiaxing Mansion, between the corner gate and the wall of the scattered sycamore, and rush to the first dew of the sunny day, the surrounding warm coolness accompanied by yellow light, yellow leaves, fill the world.
Miao Zhen looked at him from afar, feeling like a lamp in the palm of his hand on a winter night, the yellow light was open, and there was a kind of warmth in the past.
Her first impression of him was an old yellow. However, when she met his sweeping gaze from afar, she changed her mind again, and felt that he was a gloomy gray.
No man in the world has ever looked at her so indifferently.
Her wonderful and really beautiful is famous in Jiaxing Mansion, and her beauty has become a legend. Because she is the daughter of the boudoir, she has seen few people, and this legend has become a fascinating mystery.
Just like the moon is wrapped in a veil, half-truths and half-truths, looming, everyone wants to scramble to take a peek.
She gave him a cold glance, and felt embarrassed as if she had been humiliated. Bihana Shin put his head to her ear and asked, "What do you think of this person?" ”
"What a ghost!" Miao Zhen retracted in frustration, and rolled his eyes in annoyance behind the wall, "Don't want him, you see that he is so poor, his clothes are wrinkled like that, and his shoes are full of mud." ”
"What you say, if you are not poor, you will be a young master at home, who will be a subordinate to others?"
Hua Xin also smiled and retracted his head to the wall, and when he saw Miaozhen's face, he was suddenly startled, "Girl, did you scald the boiling water?" ”
"Huh?" Miao Zhen hurriedly touched her cheeks, rolled her eyes, grabbed her skirt and rushed into the house.
Outside, a girl was sitting in the dinette eating, and when she was about to talk to Miaozhen, she hurriedly swam into the bedroom like a fish.
Hibiscus in the mirror, her facial features don't know which fairy Danqing, borrowed soft peaches to make red lips, grinding pearls to make Hao teeth, eyes are amber fished out of the water, when looking up at people, it seems to fall back into the water, with a green lake silver waves.
When he stood up, the whole set of bones became the shadow of the moon, the fairy in the forest.
Miao Zhen herself also knows that she is too beautiful, so she cherishes this beauty very much.
It's a pity that she is very lacking in talent in dressing, and the two eyebrows that are like burned firewood sticks are raised, and there is a slight naïve annoyance towards the flower letter, "What is scalded by boiling water, this is the rouge that people are even!" ”
Hua Xin squinted, in disbelief, "How can a good rouge be applied like a monkey's butt?" ”
When she said this, Miao Zhenden sat back on the dressing table with a whimper, "My hand is so eager to stomp!" ”
Hua Xin had to be comforted, "The girl looks good even if she is painted as a monkey butt." Bai Chi is really, leave the girl alone, and eat well outside! ”
Seeing that the girl was eating in the small dining room outside, she came in, dropped the curtain and dipped her mouth and smiled, "What's wrong with me behind your back?" ”
Hua Xin looked at her in the mirror and muttered, "I'm too lazy to talk about you, why don't you see you waiting for the girl's makeup in the house?" Speaking of which, you and I are both serving the girl, and you are more like a young lady than a serious young lady. The girl hasn't served it yet, so you're going to eat it there. ”
That Bai Chi is also Miaozhen's girl, but there is a reason in it, her mother is Miaozhen's mother, she grew up with Miaozhen since she was a child, and she is a year older than Miaozhen, Miaozhen has always treated her as a sister.
And because this grandmother is an old person left behind after the death of Miaozhen's mother, even Master You treats her with great respect, and the family naturally follows her daughter as a young lady.
Over time, Bai Chi is really pampered like a young lady, and he has to take some money to take Qiao.
Only Hua Xin is not used to seeing her, first, she is a little jealous in her heart, and second, she is also unhappy with her master Miaozhen. Miao Zhen's hairpin rings her head, she takes it and wears it casually, and occasionally a new one comes in, and she has to grab it in her head.
For example, today at breakfast, Miao Zhen got up late, and hurried to the corner door to see the excitement, Bai Chi saw that the people below had set up a meal and shouted, Miao Zhen asked her to eat first, she really ate first, wouldn't this be asking the master to eat her leftovers?
Bai Chi glanced at Hua Xin's face, and felt that it was inappropriate, touched the handkerchief and walked to the basin to dip it in water, walked over and lifted Miaozhen's face clean, and said with a smile: "I just felt a little hungry and dizzy, so I was in a hurry to eat first." ”
Miao Zhen raised her face and let her make a sound.
Hua Xin half-sneered, "I'm so anxious that I can't wait for this moment?" I haven't seen anyone's girl eat at the same table with her master. The girl was generous and allowed us to eat at the same table, but someone fell up and told the master to eat leftovers. ”
"Where do I dare to mean this, you deliberately think so." Bai Chi didn't want to start a dispute, he talked casually, and lightly sketched the past.
After a while, Miaozhen's miserable face was re-depicted, and when she looked in the mirror, she was still the eldest lady of the You family.
Miao Zhen has been pampered since childhood, and he is not very sophisticated, and he doesn't even have a calculation of money. It can be seen that there are more of them grinding their mouths, but they often learn to be peacemakers.
This will reconcile and turn to Tan Feng, "The table will be rewarded for them to eat, and then ask the kitchen to send a few dishes for us to eat." Bai Chi, let me tell you, none of the people who came were the same. ”
Bai Chi pulled her shoulders over and twisted the tip of her nose, "You really ran outside to take a look?" It's undignified to be known. ”
"I'm hiding from afar, so it's okay. They didn't see me. ”
As soon as the words fell, Miaozhen was a little discouraged, but someone saw her. It's just that Quan Dang didn't see it, and the gaze only swept over her face like a dragonfly.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and her tone was negative, "Besides, I'm in a hurry today, and I'm not even myself." Even if I saw it, I only thought it was a girl in this family. ”
The more she said it, the more it became, it must be because of this, her beauty was buried under a scribbled color, so the man didn't pay attention to it.
Bai Chi didn't know that she was a little annoyed in her stomach, so she only smiled and took a thin silver bracelet and put it on her hand, "You complained yesterday that there was a little guy in front of who followed up in front of the young lady?" It's just a call when you go out, and you can wait close to you, and you can figure it out because of the old man. This will be in a hurry to see again, do you want it or not? ”
Miao Zhen replied to her, "No matter how strong I am, I have to obey my parents." ”
At this moment, the little girl outside rearranged breakfast, and the three of them went to the small dining room outside.
Bai Chi ate it, but sat on the side to eat tea, smiled and persuaded a few words, "Although there are some unruly manners, the master is also good for you." Even my mother said that this is a serious matter, there is a powerful man in front of you, if you get sick, he can stop it. ”
Miao Zhen put down the bowl he had just picked up and spread his hands, "I see that you are all unfounded, always saying that I am sick in the womb, look at me now that I have grown so big, isn't it good?" ”
It is rare for Hua Xin and Bai Chi to be heartfelt, and follow the persuasion, "This disease will happen when it is said, and there is no sign, so you have to take precautions first." It's okay to have a little girl to follow, the girl is pickled, don't talk to him, just don't look at him. ”
Bai Chi pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, just think he's a janitor." Look, isn't the room that the master built at the gate of our courtyard like a dog kennel? ”
When they heard this, they both looked out the window with their heads up. The courtyard door was wide open, and you could see a room outside against the courtyard wall, which was behind a few Xiangfei bamboos at the head of the door.
Miao Zhen went in and took a look, and there were tables, chairs, beds, and stools. It's just the same bad, the house is built at the height of the courtyard wall, and even if two windows are opened, it looks suffocating. It's like a kennel.
Miao Zhen thought about the man he saw on the corner door, his tall and solid bones really lived in that room, wouldn't he be aggrieved all the time?
She didn't care whether people really got into Master You's eyes or not, she first gave birth to a burst of revenge pleasure, staring at Huaxin and Bai Chi, and sneering.
After breakfast, I had tea on the couch, and at noon, Master You sent a girl to ask Miaozhen to go to the study.
Miao Zhen asked why, and the girl replied: "There are three people left who have been picked, and they are all readers." The old man said that he was choosing a small girl for the eldest girl, and he wanted the girl to take a look through the screen door. Okay, give a message to the master. ”
Miao Zhen wanted to ask if there was anyone who wore a gray straight body, and it was inconvenient for the young lady to ask, so she pretended not to care, "It's okay for the old lady to take a fancy to it, and it's not a son-in-law, what are you doing so solemnly?" ”
Hua Xin pulled her up from the couch, "You just go and take a look, aren't you still rushing to see it?" ”
Just in harmony with Miao Zhen's meaning, she half-pushed and half-followed the girl over the pink walls and green tiles, and cummed to the study. I went around the corridor to the back door from afar, looked into the hall, and saw three backs standing in the study.
Two of them were talking, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, but they could smell the high-spirited laughter, not so much like they were here to find some errand, but like they were here to compete to learn articles.
Only on the far right stood the one who didn't fit in, and it was the gray straight body that was wearing the old flutter.
As she walked, she looked at the man's side face from a distance. After getting up in the morning, the five senses are so far away that you can't see the facial features, and you can't see the side completely. I only saw that the bridge of his nose and eyebrows were high, and he hid the eyes of no one in his eyes.
She was dismayed at the thought that his eyes had ignored her. Intending to wash away his former shame, he wanted him to see her "true face", so he coughed twice in his throat under the side porch.
However, she coughed her throat so much that the man didn't blink an eye.
