Drunken Flower Building, a huge hall in the middle of the building has a wide entertainment platform of one floor and other heights, six or seven little ladies dressed in gorgeous posture graceful, beautiful posture, smart dance steps, in the sunlight through the roof glazed white jade tiles, like a few butterflies flying around.

In the center of the entertainment station, a graceful woman wearing a goose-yellow elegant dress knelt on the ground, holding a curved piano with a vertical head and a phoenix head in her arms and gently playing the strings. The little lady is lightly picked, tactful and wishful, and the ethereal and vivid music sounded in the distance, giving people the feeling of being in the bubbling cold snow mountain spring, the sound of the piano is clear and melodious, touching the heart.

Everyone present was fascinated and intoxicated, as if they heard the sounds of heaven, and at the end of the song, everyone in the audience applauded in unison, and the cheers were endless.

In the private room on the second floor of the hall of the drunken flower building, the doors of dozens of rooms have been opened, and there are all out of the same servant-like dressing house, everyone stops in the middle of the staircase up and down the stairs, all the small houses in the face of a thick corridor on both sides of the left and right stairs, all of them take out a wooden jade plaque from their waists and hang it on it, the handwriting on the wooden plaque is different, some write a hundred taels, some write fifty taels, and so on.

Similarly, the back of each wooden plaque is carved with a camellia, and the crooked seams are stained with vermilion and bright red.

The house number is engraved at the bottom of the wooden plaque.

The woman in the entertainment center bent down slightly at the end of the song, raised her sleeves, and bowed to Yingying all around, and before the applause of the audience ended, she had already turned backstage with low eyebrows and bent waist.

On the corridor on the first floor, there was a noble grandmother in her forties wearing brocade clothes who looked at this scene and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "This stinky girl is a little stubborn, and there are really few who can play the piano and play music as her." ”

The woman turned the backstage without stopping, hurriedly walked through the corridor, walked out of the verandah in the front hall, and saw the round-faced little maid waiting for her at the square elm door connecting the inner and outer halls.

The little maid saw her young lady from afar, walked forward quickly, and after reaching out to take the bent piano in the woman's hand, she whispered, "Miss, is it over?"

The woman snorted and said, "Cuiyu, when Mother Hua comes, she will act according to what we said before, don't show your stuffing." ”

The little maid nodded solemnly.

This pair of master and servant is Miao Shudie and maid Cuiyu.

When the two of them were on the road to warm up Xiangge, there were already a few maids from their own in the front hall of Zuihualou, each holding a wooden box with a brocade handkerchief, and took off the wooden signs hanging on the corridor one by one.

After the statistics of the big housekeeper of the Zuihua Building, Mama Hua, will be confirmed by the statistics, and a special waitress will go to the nobleman who has rewarded the most to "ask for tea".

As soon as the master and servant arrived at the Nuanxiang Pavilion with their front feet, two figures appeared in the distance beside the mountain stone pool behind the verandah, and Mama Hua took a maid.

Miao Shudi explained carefully to Cuiyu in the incense pavilion and went into the inner room, and the little girl put the gonghou and closed the door when she left the house.

The little girl just stood in front of the door and pricked up her ears to be the door god.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Jade stood in front of the door in a fake way, talking to herself inside.

When Mama Hua and the maid approached, the little girl immediately became anxious, stretched out her hand and knocked three times on the door, the rhythm was neat, two short and one long.

There was a sound of a teacup falling to the ground in the house, and the little maid was relieved in her heart, it seemed that her own young lady was ready.

"Cui girl, what's the matter?" Mama Hua looked unhappy, came to the front of the house, and said to the little maid in front of the door, "What are you doing here?

Cuiyu pushed open the door with her hand, led Mama Hua into the house, bowed her head and said, "I don't know why, the lady said that she was a little unwell when she got off the stage, and she was already lying down at this time, and I was about to invite Mama Hua." ”

The grandmother frowned, how could she be so coincidental?

Seeing the expression on Mama Hua's face, Cuiyu was a little clear, and called a few times at the door of her own lady's inner room, "Lady, lady, Mother Hua is here." ”

Several coughs rang out in the room.

The little girl rolled up the rusty curtain in front of the door and entered with Mama Hua.

The maid who came with her followed behind Mama Hua, standing aside with her waist and sleeves on her back.

On the splendid couch at the end of the bed in the room, Miao Shudi was lying on her side, her lips were pale, her face was slightly sickly, there was an embroidered handkerchief hanging on the copper plate in the corner of the wall, and a teacup fell to the ground in the corner of the table in front of the window, but fortunately it was intact.

When Mama Hua saw this scene, she frowned even more, this stinky girl wouldn't be pretending to be sick again, right?

The woman on the small collapse seemed to hear the movement, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw a middle-aged woman in white clothes sitting in front of her, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly got up to salute.

Mama Hua sneered in her heart, and the stinky girl wanted to make a ghost again, pretending to be quite similar.

Without waiting for the woman to get up, Mama Hua stretched out her hand and pressed it twice, signaling her to lie down, and asked with concern: "Di'er, what's wrong?

The woman covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, as if she couldn't say anything, and she was very struggling.

The little girl Jade standing behind everyone slowly squatted down, quietly picked up the cup at the corner of the table, quietly replaced it with one of the cups that was upside down in the dark plate on the table, and then poured a small half cup of tea from the teapot next to her, and spilled the tea in the cup on the table at will while everyone was not paying attention.

Silently.

Mama Hua leaned over the back of her hand and gently touched the woman's forehead, feeling it for a while, wondering in her heart and feeling a little hot.

Since Mama Hua entered the house, Miao Shudi has actually been secretly looking at her from the corner of her eyes, and when she saw her expression at this time, she knew that there was a play.

She stretched out her hand and gently grasped the woman, looked serious, and said in a weak voice: "Aunt Hua, which son invited the first tea today, but do you need Shudi to accompany you?"

Mama Hua said: "It's Gongzi Xu, I'm here to talk to you about this." ”

Miao Shudi looked very surprised, and immediately let go of the hand holding Mama Hua after hearing the words, and said to her little maid standing behind: "Quick, Cui'er, help me up and freshen up a little, I... I, ahem..."

Cuiyu hurriedly stepped forward, but did not stretch out her hand to help, just stood aside and looked at her young lady and said: "Lady, you are not in good health at this time, don't..."

"Jade, you... What are you talking nonsense about, that... Xu Gongzi is something we can offend? Don't come soon...", Miao Shudie's words bumped and bumped, and before the little girl could finish speaking, she interrupted her with words, extremely serious.

Mama Hua stretched out her hand to comfort, "Saucer girl, don't toss if you're uncomfortable, lie down with peace of mind." ”

"Auntie" Miao Shudie was very guilty, and said to the woman with some grievances: "Xu Gongzi's side...."

"Don't worry about it over there, I'll refuse him, that Xu Gongzi is also a reasonable person, if you hear that the girl is sick, you shouldn't be too embarrassed, after all, your body is the most important." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the attendant who came next to her, and said to Miao Shudie, who was lying on the small collapse: "Saucer girl, this is the medical maid who came from the owner's side, and she knows a little about medical science, I asked her to help you take a look." ”

When the maid heard this, she bent down and saluted, but did not speak, but sat on the brocade stool that Mama Hua got up to get out of, and stretched out her hand to take the pulse.

After a long time, the maid got up and said to Mama Hua beside her: "Auntie, Miao Niangzi should have accidentally provoked the wind and cold, and she already has some dampness, so the onset of illness came quickly, and it was enough to drink a few pairs of regular typhoid medicine." ”

The woman looked at her, and the maid nodded slightly.

Mama Hua sighed, "Saucer girl, I should have said it early if I have a bit of discomfort from the cold, what should I do if my body is broken, Aunt Hua will have to point to you in the future, you will raise it first, as for that Xu Gongzi's side, I have my own attention, you don't have to worry about it." ”

When the maid heard this, she stepped back and helped the woman who was lying on the floor to pull the quilt.

The little maid standing on the other side stretched her eyebrows and eyes, and quietly let go of her right hand that was clenching her sleeve.
