14 rose paste
After receiving the gift, Yunzhu couldn't come up with a decent gift in return, so she had to rack her brains to think of any information that could exchange for this friendship.
Looking at the sad face of Qingwen, she must be very afraid of Xiren now, right? But she can't say don't be cowardly. The Jia family, which is full of flowers and brocade and boiling oil, has a short life span, so no one needs to be afraid.
Thinking of this, Yunzhu thought carefully and said: "Now the second master Bao is the most popular in Xiren's room, but the second master Bao is the master after all, and no matter who the future mistress Bao is, it cannot be her..."
Well..."
Qingwen, who was close to her, covered Yunzhu's mouth with a red face. Pearl also wanted to get up. What's wrong? Is there anything that can't be said? Yunzhu asked the two of them with his eyes, and saw that the steady Pearl was also blushing.
He scolded her: "You are not ashamed, girl. How old are you? You are not allowed to say these things outside."
How pedantic.
Yunzhu nodded, nonsense, she is not stupid! This tea room is already the most remote place in Jiangyunxuan. Outsiders can see people when they come. She is sure that no one will listen and only dares to say anything.
"Don't worry, my mother said that Qianxue's family is not an evil family that takes the initiative to cause trouble. Now that it's done, you can just live your life behind closed doors. What Yunzhu said is not wrong. The second master is already thirteen this year.
Years old."
At the age of thirteen, the young master of a wealthy family has a maid who is in charge of his wife. He knows the affairs of the people and is about to marry a wife. No matter how good Xiren is now, he is still a grasshopper after autumn.
"Qianxue is a blessing in disguise. She went out at a good age, and the old lady gave her a dowry, and she has the support of her family, so she will be decent in the future." Xu Shiyunzhu started, and Zhenzhu said frankly.
Bring up these private matters.
The three of them talked for a while and then dispersed.
In the tea room, Yunzhu was left to chat with Qingwen, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. The gloom in Qingwen's heart was swept away by the two yellow croakers, her hands moved briskly, and her mouth spoke quickly.
.
"Although I am young, I can see that I am very knowledgeable. I wonder if Pearl recognizes you as a girl. I have some friendship with Pearl. Why don't you call me sister as well?"
What's wrong with calling "sister"? The older and higher-ranking people in this courtyard are all sisters. If you call her "sister" in the courtyard, five people will answer her.
The difficult thing is whether we can become sisters who share weal and woe.
But seeing that Qingwen was friendly, Yunzhu had already intended to get along with her, so she called her sister with all her heart.
The water-red purse was opened, revealing two small yellow croakers, one large and one small. Qingwen took out the small one and handed it to Yunzhu. She said briskly: "Good girl, your sister Pearl is very rich. I don't want to
It will make her look good. From now on, we will always be together to serve you. This can be regarded as a meeting gift from my sister!"
It's just that the gift to win people's hearts is too expensive. The little yellow croaker weighs at least thirty grams. According to the hexadecimal system, that's one tael of gold! Yunzhu refused again and again. A gilt bracelet from Pearl is not worth much, but
One or two gold is not a small amount. If after receiving this money, Qingwen asks her to do something she shouldn't do, should she do it or not?
"My good sister, you are so embarrassing to me. As the old saying goes, no reward comes without reward. How could I receive such a valuable thing?"
Xu Qingwen herself felt something was wrong, so she put away the little yellow croaker after a few pushbacks, and took out a silver ring with aquamarine from her hand. In Yunzhu's opinion, although it was also expensive, it was not as good as that one.
The visual impact of the two golds is much weaker.
After several refusals, I finally had to accept the silver ring.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Yunzhu woke up in Jiangyunxuan's servant's room.
Originally, Xiren meant that the residence was immovable, but the master she was serving had changed. How could it be that the residence was immobile? If something big or small came up, and she failed to respond in time because she lived in the outer courtyard, wouldn't it be her fault?
?
So before going to bed yesterday, I finally dragged Qingwen to move the bed, bedding and belongings into Jiangyunxuan. Although they were all in Jiamu's courtyard, the number of maids in Jiangyunxuan had already been exceeded, and the place was not big enough.
Eight people even crammed into a Datong shop.
Looking at this environment with no privacy at all, Yunzhu raised his eyebrows and realized that the welfare benefits had taken a turn for the worse!
The little girls are all very polite people. They didn't hear anyone snoring or farting or grinding their teeth all night long.
Today is Jia Baoyu's first day in private school. Yunzhu was still wondering at first. Jia Baoyu looked like a teenager, why hadn't he gone to school yet? If Qingwen hadn't laughed at her, how could a nobleman like Mr. Bao not have gone to school?
She has had private tutors since she was a child. Now that she is attending a private school, she is preparing for the scientific examination. She doesn't know what kind of joke she is going to make.
It seems that this is roughly equivalent to the nine-year consistent system of aristocratic schools, and entering the school is to prepare for the college entrance examination.
There were many maids in Jiangyunxuan, so there were fewer jobs assigned to each person. After Yunzhu boiled the water and warmed it on the stove, she had nothing to do and wanted to go out for a walk to familiarize herself with the environment.
After leaving the tea room, there is a corridor, and about ten meters ahead is the main house.
The night shift worker last night was Xi Ren. Looking at Qingwen sitting listlessly on the porch from a distance, Yunzhu stepped forward and asked funnyly: "Second Master Bao has gone to school. There are boys waiting outside. You don't have to work hard for me. What's wrong with me?"
Are you still worried?"
You don't feel happy when you don't work, right?
"Second Master Bao went out at nine o'clock today." Qingwen said wilted.
Mao Shi? No wonder the tea that was served this morning was not used up. Two of the three cups were returned to the tea room intact. It seems that it is the first day of school and I am very positive.
"It's the first day of school for Mr. Bao, so it's inevitable for him to be more active."
Qingwen glanced at Yunzhu and sighed to herself. She was a little girl after all, so it was hard to tell her those embarrassing things.
Everything between midnight and mao o'clock is the work of the night girl, and it is a well-established rule that someone else goes to take over from the master at mao o'clock. But what happened today is that when she, Qixie and the others entered the house, Second Master Bao
She is fully dressed and has all the necessary items. It looks like she is about to go out right away?
Thinking back to looking at Xiren's beautiful and proud face, I didn't need to think about it to know what kind of charming tricks were used to deceive Baoyu last night.
Seeing that Qingwen was silent, Yunzhu stood on the porch and looked at the flowers and trees in the yard. It was the middle of winter in January, but there was a warm atmosphere in Rong Mansion. The sun set at noon, illuminating the holly green in the yard.
of.
But she thought of what she had seen in the past two days. She didn't need to think about it to know the scheming between these maids. It stands to reason that the aggressive tactics could simply drive Qian Xue away. No matter what, she would have to be a coward in front of Jia Baoyu for some time.
It was over, but now it had only been two days, and Jia Baoyu had completely forgotten the guilt of that day.
He even tacitly allowed Xi Ren to slap the other maids in Jiang Yunxuan on the face, Qi Xie, She Yue, Qing Wen...
And Xiren's now faintly pressed look seems to have completely grasped Baoyu.
"Sister Qi." Yunzhu watched Qi Xie coming over with a gloomy face. Qi Xie was very stable and upright. Although she was not outstanding in appearance compared to Xiren Qingwen and others, her words and deeds were second to none.
At this time, Yunzhu pulled Qingwen, and they both came to her.
Yunzhu didn't know about the farce in Jia Baoyu's room in the morning. She always left after serving tea and never stayed. Seeing the attacker come in from outside the courtyard, she felt that it smelled like a Shura field.
"Sister Qixi is here. The second master said early in the morning that he would make rose paste with Miss Lin when he comes back from school. Why don't you come and see how red the roses are in winter?" Xiren said hello from a distance.
, only then did Yunzhu see clearly that Tan Yun was following behind her. Tan Yun was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, with cotton silk hanging on it, so he couldn't see what it contained.
As soon as they talked about rose ointment, Yunzhu woke up immediately. Lin Daiyu lived next to them, and the maids on both sides often came and went.
Where can I find fresh roses in this winter? Those who make rouge in winter use the color of dried roses soaked in facial oil. This is so impressive and terrifying.
Qixie was originally a maid in Jia Baoyu's house. She was not very beautiful and had to rely on her earlier. But since Xiren Qingwen, Qianxue and the others entered Jiangyunxuan, she was unknowingly marginalized.
.
Nowadays, the little maids insist on calling her "Big Sister Qi", but most of them still do things based on the limelight of Xi Ren. This is probably the lingering grudge in Qixie's heart.
"Sister Xiren." Yunzhu has always been very responsible since she joined Jiangyunxuan. She calls her this and that sister in person, always by name. Only when she meets Qingwen in private, she calls her affectionately.
elder sister.
"It's sister Xiren who can do it after all. Alas, Xiren is enough for this Jiangyunxuan. How can we clumsy people find roses in winter?" Qingwen stepped forward to pull Qixue in a strange manner, her eyes
He didn't look at the attacker, but smelled the fragrant fragrance that was neither light nor heavy on the tip of his nose. He couldn't control his temper for a moment, and his words went directly towards the attacker.
Before Xi Ren could respond, Tan Yun, who was following Xi Ren, turned red in the face and began to distinguish urgently: "Our second master and Miss Lin have been in love since childhood. As slaves, we can't avoid caring about everything.
"
As soon as these words came out, Yun Fengqing's striking eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glanced at Tan Yun involuntarily. Tan Yun immediately dared not say anything after receiving this look, but pouted the corner of his mouth, looking aggrieved and ready to cry.
It was clear in his eyes that he didn't want to do it.
She didn't know whether this girl was sincere or just pretending to say that. Yun Zhu almost burst out laughing in her heart. Who in this courtyard couldn't see that Xi Ren had deep feelings for Jia Bao Yu? But Tan Yun stood up and opened his mouth to attack.
A prick in the heart.
Qingwen smiled at the corner of her eyes. If you want to say who has the best color in Jiangyunxuan, the one with less open hair will not be counted. Right now, she is the most outstanding. Unfortunately, she is an honest child. She will do whatever the master arranges.
, spent three winters and nine summers practicing needlework skills. Although he was not as popular with Jia Baoyu as Xi Ren, he was still diligent and conscientious in his duties.
Anyway, we have already broken up with the attackers, and we are too lazy to pretend now. Why do you mean everything? It seems like a bunch of us are eating for nothing. Looking at the crowds of people outside the garden, it is obvious that someone is eavesdropping. Qingwen
I felt angry for a moment, and I was about to throw a few more throwing knives, just to get rid of the bad breath in the morning.
Before she even opened her mouth, she felt a tugging on her sleeves. Just as she was trying to decipher Yunzhu's mute words, she heard Qixie say loudly: "After all, it's the maid trained by the old lady to make us all vulgar.
Chapter completed!
