Zi Ying's eyes were like autumn water, and she nodded gently like a chicken pecking rice, but her whole face was already red.
Bai Mei and Jinxin had never seen the gentle and cautious girl Ziying, who looked like a little daughter, so they naturally had to make fun of her with each other.
Jinghe watched them make a mess, but the corners of her lips were slightly curled to the side.
The crowd had a bit of a joke before they sat around and talked.
Jinghe did not confine them to their errands, and because she was pregnant, she was a little sleepy, and after saying a few words to Ziying, she arranged for a few of them to go to the wing room to talk, and asked someone to take the fresh pear, sweet peach and other seasonal fruits rewarded by the palace, melon seeds, chestnuts and other dried fruits and eight kinds of dried fruits to take the box and serve it.
Mo Mei took a bite of a big round duck pear in her hand, the flesh was tender and juicy, which made people know that it was sweet and delicious at a glance, but she was not as heartless as she used to taste the food.
Zi Ying took a sip of the colorful small cup, looked around, and said, "What's wrong with you today, all of you are preoccupied, and this lawsuit is written on your face." ” Jinxin picked up a sugar-fried chestnut and wrapped it in a pale pink embroidered par and played with it, slapped the chestnut on the table in the middle of the night, and said to Ziying: "Sister Ziying, you came to the house today, my sister has something to discuss with you." ” There are nothing more than Ziying, Bai Mei, Mo Mei and a few other henchmen sitting here, since Jinxin put it up so abruptly, it must not be an ordinary joke, she only beckoned and said: "If you have anything to say, you just say it, and there are no outsiders here." ” She answered yes, stood up from the chair, picked up the lacquered eight-treasure box with dried fruits on the table, walked to Baimei, Momei, and Basho and handed them over one by one, and said: "This morning, Madame asked me to send the cloth from the palace to the Pingjun Palace, and when I was waiting for the bus at the door, I casually chatted with the person on the door, and the man said that the eldest girl had sent a few things out of the yard in a row."
On that day, Sister Ziying got married, and Momei also saw Xiao Yan'er, the maid next to the eldest girl, crying secretly in the corner, but when Momei wanted to ask her, she ran away," As she spoke, the box in her hand had already been circled, and everyone was appetized by her, either holding dried fruits in their hands or holding teacups, and they all looked at Jinxin with concern.
She walked back to her seat and continued: "Madame often instructs us to be rough and delicate on errands, if things are abnormal, there must be demons, and the more the slave and maid think about it, the more strange they feel, so they come to tell Madame. ” When Zi Ying heard this, her face was also full of vigilance, and her hand holding the pine nuts also paused, and asked, "What is the reason for the people in the big girl's yard to go out?"
” Jinxin picked up the teapot and refilled a cup of fragrant tea for her, and replied: "I naturally asked, saying that it was the eldest girl and Miss Sun in the old mansion of Song Pavilion exchanging gifts back and forth, and Mr.
Zefeng was teaching the eldest girl to paint, and the eldest girl thought that the painting paper and paint bought by the boss of the mansion were not to her liking, so she sent her henchman out to choose." ” Bai Mei took a sip of honey tea, pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "I also noticed this matter, and I also went to ask Mrs. on the side, and Mrs. also said that the eldest girl has also passed Mrs. and has already reported these things, and it is only the maid next to the eldest girl who goes out, and it does not violate the family rules and etiquette," she slowed down and continued: "Could it be that my sister is worried about ......."
Mo Mei also got anxious when she heard this, walked to her sister and sat down, and said, "My sister knows what Jinxin means, not because she is afraid that Miss Xin will violate the etiquette system and show up, but she is afraid that she will have other thoughts." ” Bai Mei looked back and asked, "What are you thinking?"
” Mo Mei nodded and said: "Exactly, Miss Xin is not Mrs.
Born, and Mrs. is just her mother-in-law, what we are afraid of is that Miss Xin and you are not the same ......."
Zi Ying thought about it, and picked up the teacup on the table again, but didn't find that the teacup was empty.
Bai Mei stepped forward to fill the white porcelain teapot with honey flower tea to fill it with Jinghe, and said: "Our lady is generous, and she disdains the thoughts of those villains, and she has never picked on the big girl, I have been suspicious several times, but every time I pay attention to Sister Xin, I find that although this child has a cold temperament, it doesn't look like there are many crooked thoughts, and I think that if there is really something wrong with Sister Xin'er, there are criminal mothers and Jin Feng around Sister Xin, and they will definitely come to report, I am afraid that they are too careful, On the contrary, it made the relationship between the eldest girl and the lady not harmonious. ” Ziying nodded, held Bai Mei's hand and said, "Several of us came from my mother's house with my wife, so naturally we are all dedicated to the good of my wife, how can I not know." ” Jinxin also hurriedly said: "Sister Baimei is first-class and loyal, how can we not know?"
We are also worried that Mrs. and Grandpa Guo have only been reconciled for many days, if it is for this matter, it will hurt the relationship between Miss Xin and Mrs., and damage the reputation of Mrs. is still small, if it is bad, the relationship between Mrs. and Grandpa Guo is very bad, plus Mrs. is now pregnant, it is not appropriate to work too hard, so we are here to worry. ” Ziying thought for a while and said, "What the younger sisters said makes sense, if you are prepared, you will be fine, as long as you are careful, you will be fine," she stood up and walked a few steps in the house, then returned to her seat and sat down, and said: "Since Baimei, you are more familiar with the eldest girl's yard, you might as well keep an eye on it more these days, and record every time the eldest girl goes out and enters the door, as for the outside......
I will leave the morning at the earliest, and I will have to visit Sister Magenta in the afternoon, and when I tell her about it, there is Mao Song staring outside, especially the one on the Zhuangzi, and nothing will go wrong!
” After listening to her, everyone had the backbone and nodded again and again.
Zi Ying thought about this in her heart, and went to see Jinghe again, so she excused herself to go to Boss Zhao and a few other houses to sit down, so she took her leave.
Although Jinghe was reluctant, she also knew that she still had a lot of work to do before Ziying left Beijing, so she didn't keep her very much.
Zi Ying said goodbye and met Li Huan at the second gate, and the little couple got into their comfortable and tidy flat-headed carriage together.
"Grandpa Guo instructed me to do a good job, and told me a lot about the personnel relations in the northwest, and there are some old departments in the northwest in the past, if we encounter resistance in the northwest in the future, we can go to them for help," Li Huanxing said happily.
Zi Ying was thinking about the eldest girl's affairs in her heart, and when she heard this, she couldn't bear to sweep Li Huan's excitement, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo has always attached great importance to Xianggong, and he is also able to do things well. ”
