"If the third sister goes to ask the fourth aunt, won't it be clear that the person who asked the fourth aunt to install her is by your side?"
Jing Wan saw that the maid wiped the old official hat chair and covered it with a handkerchief before dropping her buttocks.
Jinghe couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, this fourth sister really dared to say anything, recalling her conversation with the fourth uncle that day, which was also in line with her character.
After thinking about it, Ziying had already brought fragrant tea up, and Jinghe first asked the fourth sister Jingwan to take a cup over, secretly thinking, will the old lady have such a heavy meaning?
She was startled, and the sound of silver bell-like laughter could be heard from far and near, and two figures of the Grace were coming towards her.
One is Jingqi, the second girl in the fourth room, and the other is the water snake with a waist and shoulders, a melon seed face and willow eyebrows, and a smile looming between her smiles?!!
Yao's niece, Yao Ling'er.
In the last life, Jinghe befriended her, Yao Ling'er had a simple personality and was quite easy to get along with, because of the death of her mother, her stepmother was unkind and took refuge in the Hou Mansion, and the two of them were really sympathetic.
However, Yao Ling'er is more optimistic and cheerful than her, although she is thin and weak, she has the strength to not admit defeat, and took some of her mother's dowry from her stepmother, but she only wants a shop, and she is dedicated to running it, and gradually has improved, but she also has a lot of savings.
After learning that Yao Ling'er had no home, she wrote to ask her to live in Liuzhou, thinking that she, the county lady, could also introduce her to a wishful husband.
Yao Ling'er only lived in the county yamen for a while, and then bought a house in Liuzhou with private property, and the few matchmakers she told her at that time did not succeed.
Later, when Jinghe went back to Beijing, she still couldn't take care of herself, and she didn't have the face to see Yao Ling'er, but she was still in Liuzhou, and I don't know what happened in the end?
"Third sister!"
A crisp call pulled her back to reality, and it was Jingqi, the second girl in the fourth room, who came in.
Jing He hurriedly left behind those memories and stored them, beckoned them to sit down, and asked Ziying to pour tea, and instructed Magenta to fetch the mixed dried fruits and save the box.
Jingqi is Yao's daughter-in-law, naturally she is used to seeing good things, and the dried fruits here in Jinghe naturally have nothing to enter her eyes, if it weren't for her mother sending her to bring Yao Ling'er over to play, she sat happily in her room, and only smiled and took a candied fruit and played with it in the palm of her hand.
Jinghe took her description in her eyes, smiled slightly and asked Yao Ling'er, "When did Sister Ling'er come?"
” Yao Ling'er said with a smile: "I was new to the school yesterday, and I just settled down and lived in Sister Qi's yard. ” For example, a few people talked about gossip for a while, and estimated that Jing Qi and Jing Wan were not uncommon with the food in her room, and when Zhou sent Bi Tao to pass the word and asked several girls to stay for dinner, several people said goodbye together.
Jing and Xuxu gave a few words, and personally sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
After having dinner with Zhou and Second Master Xu, the maid Shuxiang next to the eldest girl Jingyi came over to pass the word: "My girl asked the slave to tell the third girl, she should have come to visit the second wife and the girl today, but because she was pestered by the big girl Fang of the Qingguo Mansion to play chess for half a day, she came back, thinking that she would go to Xichun Garden to study the council sooner rather than tomorrow morning, and the girl was afraid that she would have to rest earlier, so she would not come, and she would see her in Xichun Garden tomorrow." ” Jing He naturally didn't dare to be arrogant, and only smiled: "Thank you for your care, thank you for your concern, thank you for your greetings to my big sister on my behalf."
As he spoke, he instructed Magenta: "Send me a scholarly girl." ” Shuxiang made another formal blessing and retreated with magenta.
Jinghe glanced at Zi Ying, who was waiting on the side, stood up from the table, and said, "You come with me." ” Zi Ying hurriedly followed her, entered the bedroom, and saw that she took out the key and opened the box, took out a yellow rosewood inlaid velvet box, opened it again, took out a pair of red gold begonia beaded twisted silk bracelets, and handed them over.
The bracelet looked like it was red gold, and the workmanship was also exquisite, and it was precious, Zi Ying hurriedly said: "How can a slave be rewarded so heavily." ” Jinghe pulled her up, sat down on the kang on the side, put the bracelet in her hand, and said slowly: "My sister is following the old lady, I haven't seen anything good, I just sent these to show my heart, my sister doesn't have to excuse herself," Seeing that she still had to excuse herself, she said: "If my sister doesn't want it again, don't you look down on it?"
” Zi Ying just accepted it, she was originally a second-class maid in the old lady's room, and she bought it from outside, no more than an agate pearl is a child, and she often plans for herself, like her, in the end, it is nothing more than which girl she marries, or which master or master to make a room.
She originally had a few acres of paddy fields at home, and her father had no children, so she asked her mother to do a second room in order to extend the heirs, who knew that her mother was not angry, and gave birth to her a girl and swallowed her breath, her mother-in-law ruthlessly sold her to a big family to be a girl, and used the money to sell her and gave her a room of aunt, so in her heart, the aunt's life is not a person's life, and she would rather marry a small family to be a grandmother.
The second girl is in the fourth room, the fourth girl has always been small, although the eldest girl is good, it is terrible to squeeze her head past, but it is just the life of a second-class maid, how can she not cover the two of the scholarly ink rhyme, if it is just a vulgar and incompetent mixed life, she is a talented, she thinks that she is no worse than agate, scholarly, etc., but came to the third girl, and came up to do the first.
Originally, she was worried about the cowardice of the second room, and she was afraid that there was no hope in the future, but now looking at the third girl's speech and demeanor, most of them will be promising in the future, and there is no one in the third girl's room to use, this is indeed a good opportunity for her, so she is bent on following the third girl.
Jinghe didn't know that when she looked at people, people also secretly observed her, and just said gently: "Don't hide it from my sister, I'm used to being loose here, and Magenta is also old, although she is a second-class maid, but she is really a first-class maid in my house, and now that she is older, I have already made other arrangements for her.
Indeed, compared to her, a maid who has been in the old lady's house for a long time knows more about the people and things in this house.
Zi Ying made up her mind to be loyal, so she only knelt there at the moment and said: "The slave was originally bought from outside, and the foundation is not deep but it is not deep, and now the three girls treat me like this, and the slave will not hide it, and he will definitely serve the girl in the future, and serve the dogs and horses." ”
