Chapter 8 Woods
A smile appeared at the corner of the big lady’s mouth, "That child, it’s okay to do things. Ask her what’s good, she always looks left and right, and thinks this is good, that’s good! Even if it’s not good, she can pick it out. Come on." He said, his face straightened, and shouted Luo Qiao to come in. Asked her "has Forsythia come back?"
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I just came back. It is said that Di Jin from the Fourth Master's side is taking a few little maids to roast potatoes, and I kept her, and then I came back late." After speaking, he paused and said, " Forsythia brought some back for us to taste. Or, I will give you some too."
"What a good thing is that!" Wu Xiao's family laughed without waiting for the wife to speak, "Be careful to accumulate food."
The eldest wife also nodded, "You can eat it, and my heart is congested after eating that." She also told her, "Who is the little maid who goes with Forsythia to give things to the Fourth Master?"
"It's a cuckoo."
"Go and ask her, where did Forsythia go back from Fourth Master?"
Luo Qiao was startled.
The big wife had a calm expression and said, "If you can't ask a question, tell me as soon as possible, so I can send someone to ask!"
Luo Qiao shrank, and said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, I know what to do!"
She had just walked a few steps when the eldest wife called "Come back" again.
Luo Qiao stood with hands down respectfully.
The old lady drank the tea carefully for a long while holding the tea.
Wu Xiao's family stood up and laughed, "It's weirdly cold. I'll go and bring up a pot of hot tea again." After speaking, they hurried out of the interior room and saw that there was no one outside, but they put their ears on them. On the door curtain.
"...You...Lvyunlou...look at lady eleven...this time...what are you doing...who have you met..."
First, there were intermittent voices, but later, couldn't hear them again.
Wu Xiao's family walked out and pointed a little maid standing under the eaves with their fingers, "You, go and bring a pot of hot water for the big lady to make tea."
The little maid ran to the tea room next to her and brought a pot of hot water.
Wu Xiao's family took it over and walked in.
It happened to collide with Luo Qiao head on.
"The eldest lady said she was a little tired, so please rest!"
Wu Xiao's family nodded and laughed, "I'm just sitting here. Mother Xu is not here today, so that I won't wait until the lady wakes up and there is no one to serve. You don't care about me."
Luo Qiao smiled and nodded away.
Wu Xiao's family walked to the curtain of the door and looked inward.
saw the big lady squeezing a letter tightly in her hand, and the corners of her eyes shone with crystal clear water.
Lady Eleven's hands clenched into fists. want to walk forward with the usual unhurried steps, but feet become irritable without any control.
"Master and Master sent letters back one after another..."
"Next letter, I will ask you to make a screen..."
"Sent Mother Xu to Ci'an Temple..."
"I also asked us how to print the Lotus Sutra..."
"Brother Chen is a son, but not a son..."
"Could it be that the elders should not be the children, and the virtuous and the prostitutes..."
Her steps came to a halt.
The situation suddenly changed, and Bin Ju behind him almost hit lady eleven's body.
"Miss Eleven, what's wrong with you?"
She saw thin sweat on lady eleven's forehead.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing Bin Ju's eyes full of worry, lady eleven couldn't help but smiled to comfort her, "I just can't figure out something..."
"Are you going to take a walk in the woods?" Bin Ju smiled and picked up lady eleven's words.
Normally, if Miss Eleven had anything unsatisfactory, she would go to the boxwood forest in front of Luyun Tower. After a turn, the mood will be much better. think that the big lady will come to their house today, let alone Miss Eleven, she wants to go around...
The two went to the boxwood forest.
The white snow, the oil-green branches and the cold air... the cold color gradually dissipated the resentment in lady eleven's heart.
Bin Ju saw that her complexion improved, and smiled, "Miss Eleven, Sister Dong Qing said let me tell you that we will all listen to you." There was a cautiously tentative tone in her tone.
lady eleven was startled.
Bin Ju already said, "Miss still remember when we first arrived at Lvyun Tower?"
How can not remember.
At that time, she was supported by Dong Qing, standing in the middle of the house, and said to Bin Ju, the little maid Qiu Ju, and Yuexiang, "From now on, this will be our home." Later, she found that Yuexiang was walking along with his wife. She gave Yuexiang a laxative and took advantage of the Luo government's "patient avoidance" regulations to send Yuexiang to the outer hospital to rest, and replaced it with Zhuxiang recommended by Aunt Lu. Of course, the course of the matter was quite a bit set. For example, how to make Yuexiang sick, how to take advantage of the time and place to make Mother Xu have to send Yuexiang away, and how to get Zhuxiang over through Xu's hand, all took a lot of effort. But it was worth the effort, at least, it shocked the people around me. Let them since then believe in lady eleven's methods.
"Sister Dong Qing said, she always remembers what Missy said." Bin Ju smiled, "This is our house!"
lady eleven could not help holding Bin Ju's hand tightly.
"I think so too." Bin Ju smiled, "There are young ladies, Dong Qing, Qiu Ju, Zhu Xiang, Xin, and Tang. We will definitely have a good time."
Lady eleven's heart suddenly calmed down.
Yes, she has worked hard for the past three years, isn't it just for the people around her to stand by her side at a critical time?
She smiled and asked Bin Ju, "Are there any officials who send their daughters to be concubines...well, it's not the kind of shameless settlement, just to curry favor with the boss and send their daughters to be concubines."
Bin Ju thought for a while, "It shouldn't be!" His tone was not very sure.
lady eleven couldn't help sighing.
This is also a sudden medication.
Bin Ju entered the mansion at the age of five and grew up in this compound. How could he know if there was any official house sending his daughter to be a concubine?
She raised her head.
The sky was blue, but her eyes could only reach the small area that enveloped the Luo family's backyard.
He sighed.
His eyes gradually became clearer.
Lady eleven and Bin Ju returned to Luyunlou.
As usual, the front of the Luyun Tower was deserted and deserted, and everyone tried their best to stay in their own place, so as not to accidentally interfere with other people's lives.
There are five rooms on two floors in Lvyun Building, the living room in the middle is shared, and there is a staircase behind the living room that leads to the second floor. Lady Eleven got two to the east. The second time is separated from the front and back, the front is the residence of Dong Qing and Bin Ju, the middle is the usual feast, and the back is the residence of the little maid Dongju and Zhuxiang. A little is my own bedroom, which is also separated horizontally, with the study and embroidery room in the front and the bedroom in the back. As for the rude envoys such as Mama Xin and Mama Wu, they live together in a three-room room behind Luyun Building.
When they walked in, Mother Xin and Mother Tang were chatting around the brazier.
Seeing lady eleven, both of them stood up with a smile on their faces.
Mother Xin plugged a stove for the first time and gave her "Always help you add charcoal, eagerly shouting!"
Lady Eleven smiled and stretched after taking over the stove, making Xin's mother happy too.
She winked at the east wing, then raised her voice and laughed loudly, "Qiu Ju, Miss is back."
What came out was Dong Qing "Miss, you are back." As he said, he turned around and lifted the curtain for lady eleven.
Lady Eleven and Bin Ju walked in in file, bumping into Amber head-on.
She is tall, with fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. She wears an ordinary blue-blue armour on her body, but she can't conceal the bright light.
Amber squatted down calmly and gave a blessing to lady eleven. "Miss Eleven, the servant girl is Amber."
It used to be common in the big wife.
Lady eleven smiled cordially, and asked her how old she was and who else in the family was she used to coming here. He also said some kind words such as "I have wronged my sister" and "I will rely on my sister to help Zhang Luo in the future."
Kohaku has been standing respectfully while lady eleven is talking. When she finished asking, she answered one by one.
She said she was fifteen years old and the only daughter in the family. Both my mother and Laozi worked on the farm. Sister Dong Qing is very beautiful, she looks like the person in the painting, and treats her like her own sister, she feels kind when she looks at it. He also said something like "I grew up in Zhuangzi, and I don't understand the rules, so I would like to ask Sister Dong Qing and Sister Bin Ju to give their advice."
lady eleven looked satisfied with her. Instruct Bin Ju, "You accompany Amber to look around, Dong Qing helps me change my clothes."
Amber was very submissive to lady eleven's orders. He didn't rush to help lady eleven change clothes with Dong Qing, but followed Bin Ju to salute lady eleven, and he answered "Yes" and watched lady eleven and Dong Qing go. A little room.
lady eleven is still very satisfied with her.
At least, he is a smart man. No eagerness to the point of knowing how to advance or retreat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to change clothes, lady eleven whispered to Dong Qing that Mrs. Amber had taken over the affairs of her house.
Dong Qing was mentally prepared for such a result.
What she worries about is whether she will be rationed by the eldest wife to Yao's nephew.
"The big lady didn't mention it at all." Lady Eleven shook her head, "I want to embroider the screen during this time, and the big lady said that you would help me. I don't think I will mention this at least until March next year."
Her calm look had a kind of steady calmness, which made Dong Qing calm down. She looked at lady eleven and her eyes flickered, "Then, how do you make a deal?"
Lady eleven often embroidered Buddhist scriptures for Dong Qing to sell outside. They also had savings of two or three hundred taels of silver in their hands, as well as some gold and silver jewelry secretly given to lady eleven by Aunt Lu.
"Leave a hundred taels of silver and hand over the rest."
Dong Qing was a little surprised "hand in all..."
"You just do what I said." Lady eleven motioned to Dong Qing to put the jade pendant tied with plum blossoms on her, "Wait later, you will give the key to Amber. Then think of a way to give her to me Adjust, I have something to tell you and Bin Ju."
Dong Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. I can save it."
