16 pierced ears
Early the next morning, after Yunzhu poured boiling water on it, he rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning the tea room. When he wiped the table and looked at the four round pearls on the table, he knew that these were Jia Baoyu's thanks for apologizing to them last night.
That’s it.
She held the beads and looked at them in the candlelight, thinking that although they looked good, they were not as solid as gold and silver. Seeing that it was getting late, Yunzhu put away the beads and quickly made tea and carried them to the main room.
Jia Baoyu gets up at 9 o'clock every day. The first cup of health tea is maple dew tea with honey, and the second cup is refreshing Pu'er, which he will drink after breakfast.
After finishing this tidying up, if the sun is still early, I will go to Jiamu’s place to finish my order and then go to Daiyu’s place to show off my face. If it is too late, I will pack my things in a hurry and go out, looking at this scene
It seems that Yunzhu has a feeling of returning to his student days.
After sending Jia Baoyu away, he returned to the tea room and boiled a large pot of boiling water on the stove. This was for the little maids. Jia Baoyu was a wealthy master. When he accidentally saw the little maids drinking plain water, he felt pity for them.
Dafa.
After asking, I found out that it was not that there was no tea, but that I needed charcoal to boil water. The monthly salary was only half a pound of one or two silver. Where could I get the money to buy charcoal? So Jia Baoyu waved his hand and asked everyone to make tea.
If the house is burning, how can there be any reason for me to enjoy happiness alone under the roof?
There is one more job in the tea room.
As soon as Qingwen entered the house, she saw Yunzhu holding a few beads and looking around under the sun. His unexperienced look made her burst into laughter: "I like it so much, why not ask someone to inlay it as a side effect?"
Earrings?”
Seeing Yunzhu's embarrassment about being caught in rape, he asked casually: "Did your ears be pierced at home when you were a child?"
Yunzhu was stunned.
Since she prostituted herself and entered the Jia family, her memory of the Zhao family has become increasingly blurred. In the past, Wang Qi also asked about her family affairs.
I'm so young that I don't even remember.
Now that Qingwen opened her mouth, it was no longer easy for her to be so perfunctory and evasive.
"I just remember that my family was poor. The five of us sisters couldn't get together a pair of hairpin rings, and our family didn't have the heart to prepare these for us." Yunzhu hesitated to speak. It was Qingwen who mentioned piercing her ears, especially hers.
I touched my ears and found that I did not have pierced ears.
She doesn't remember anything about Zhao Liu's past. It's probably because she didn't receive the memory from Zhao Liu, or maybe it's because Zhao Liu was too young and doesn't remember anything at all.
I just remembered that when I was Zhao Lu, my parents doted on her. She had a temper like a little bully and she was the youngest. The cousins in the family always doted on her. Later, as she got older, her brothers and sisters were all over the place.
Although she was separated from Bei, she would still be specially selected to come out to play with her in the family during holidays.
Unexpectedly, after this farewell, those solid memories turned into a floating light like the shadow of a flying dragon's claws. Looking at the antique furnishings and decorations in front of me, I suddenly felt a little sour.
Qingwen saw that her words not only made the little girl's eyes red, she hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief and handed it into Yunzhu's hand. She then gently coaxed and held Yunzhu's hand, "Good sister, it's me who talks too much.
Stop crying, it's all my sister's fault!"
"Come on, let's get your ears pierced! Just pierce them and I'll give you all my sister's earrings!" He said, dragging Yunzhu's hand to walk out.
Upon hearing this, Qingwen's blurred figure was brought into her sweet-faced elder cousin. No matter how hard Yunzhu tried to control it, her tears still fell on the handkerchief and she fainted. The cloud-gray handkerchief suddenly became blurry.
Patchy shadows appear.
I couldn't help but choked up and said: "Good sister, stop quickly, how can I go out like this? I don't want to make people laugh!"
Qingwen saw her crying so hard that she lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned around and opened the curtain and went out.
When he came in again, he had a sewing dustpan in his hand, and Qixi followed behind him.
Qixie held an egg in her hand and looked at Yunzhu with a gentle expression: "But you miss home? Is your home near Gyeonggi Province? I have never heard you say that. If it is close, I will find someone to take your place for a day.
How about I let you go home and take a look?"
If we say the one who misses home the most among the three, Qingwen is the one who misses home the most. She was originally a girl who was sold by her family during the disaster years. She went to the Lai family all the way, and then went to Jia Mu's courtyard, and now she lives in the Lai family.
Jiang Yunxuan is waiting for you, and you have been working hard in your youth, and you have long forgotten what home feels like.
Now when she saw Yunzhu crying when she mentioned her family, she couldn't persuade her, so she had to recruit Qixie as a lobbyist.
"Yes, yes, don't worry. Sister Qi in our yard can still keep her word!" Qingwen followed Qixi and echoed. Seeing the little child holding back tears, her heart became softer and she hugged Yunzhu.
Careful comfort in my arms.
But she was a little annoyed in her heart. She was a smart person. Although Yunzhu started crying when she got home, she had no attachment to her family at all. I think so, how could anyone who has a full stomach and loves their children be willing to give up four or five children?
Year old children sold?
Qixie stepped forward and took off the handkerchief from Yunzhu's hand. When she saw that her tears were gone, she spoke softly and gently: "In the past, Mr. Bao always said, 'I feel pity for you'. At that time, I didn't understand what he was talking about. Now I see you.
Seeing Yunzhu's appearance, I know what the man's state of mind is like when he meets a girl.
It's a good thing that our Duke's Mansion is a big place, otherwise if you cry in this room, the owner of that room will be heartbroken!
Come and let me see, how can you be born if your eyes are broken by crying? For such a beautiful child, come on, roll the eggs while they are hot, and your eyes will not be swollen tomorrow."
Yunzhu cried and laughed, took the warm egg from Qixie's hand and rolled it on her face. After adjusting her emotions between the two of them, she said embarrassedly: "Sister Qi made fun of me again!"
"Sister Qi is also very beautiful. I feel happy when I see her." The warm eggs were peeled off and rolling on her face. Yunzhu couldn't help but flatter Qixi.
Unexpectedly, when Qi Xie heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said indifferently: "How can I be called beautiful when I look like this? I'm obviously ordinary."
Qingwen's heart suddenly changed, thinking about how the attackers in Jiangyunxuan were being held hostage these days. Not to mention that she, who was also transferred from the old lady's courtyard, was picked up, and even Qianxue, who came with her, was also pushed out.
Not to mention Qixi with a stable personality?
Looking at the traces of worry in Qixie's brows and eyes, it is clear that she is also depressed about her own situation. She actually understands better than herself where Gen Jie, who has fallen out of favor, is. A similar situation makes Qingwen inevitably think of her aggressive and flamboyant appearance.
He couldn't help but say: "Last night, Xi Ren was made to be a good person. She said it as if she and Mr. Bao were rotting in the same pot."
Qixie has always been upright and upright. After listening to Qingwen's words, although she couldn't help but complain in her heart, she still had to accept Xiren's shrewdness, "What Xiren said is that she has fulfilled her duty as a great maid. If the second master continues to mess with her,
Wouldn't it be a disgrace to drag it down like crazy?"
"Well, what you all said makes sense, but in my opinion, the second master likes to play with Miss Lin the most on weekdays. It seems that he really likes such a weak girl like a girl.
Sister Qingwen is beautiful, and sister Qi is dignified. Each has its own beauty. How can you ignore your own beauty just because of the second master’s unintentional behavior?" Yunzhu changed the subject in a mature way, pretending not to understand what the two of them were talking about.
Conversation, she didn't want to be asked by the ear again.
"puff"
"You!"
Seeing the two of them shaking their heads and laughing together, Yunzhu felt relieved. This era had many restrictions on women, and even though she had thousands of erotic jokes in her heart, she didn't dare to tease them.
It was also in this era, a hereditary family with great wealth naturally had its own rules for marrying wives and taking concubines. An ordinary maid climbed into the young master's bed, even if the grandma came in to carry them in the future.
I lost my aunt, but my life may not be any easier.
In such a prominent family, the second half of a concubine's life is visibly miserable. There are Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao in the backyard. Yun Zhu secretly hopes that these maids will not be deceived by Jia Baoyu. In the future, the trees will fall and the hozens will scatter.
At that time, you can still earn a future for yourself.
"Yunzhu needs to get his mind right. You were bought from outside. When you get older in the future, you might as well ask your masters to let him out. You can live a serious and happy life outside and be a decent lady!" Qixie!
Listening to Yunzhu's words, he thought she was envious of Xiren's success by charming Baoyu, and couldn't help but start beating the two people in front of her.
well said!
Yunzhu couldn't help blinking her starry eyes, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Holding Qingwen's hand, she secretly thought that it would be better if she could run out before the building collapsed. For honest girls like them, the best way out in the future is to seek freedom and become a decent family outside.
It is the right way for a righteous lady to have all her children and grandchildren freed from slavery!
Seeing Qingwen envious of Qixie's background and Qixie envious of Qingwen's beauty, Yunzhu was afraid that the boat of the friendship between the three of them would capsize, so he picked up the sewing basket that Qingwen had brought over.
"Sister Qingwen has made great achievements in the field of female celebrities. Are you going to open our eyes today?"
Seeing Yunzhu flipping through the sewing basket, with various colored silk threads hanging on the spool like iridescence, the young heart suddenly became excited. He didn't care about getting angry at Xiren's place, so he just grabbed the sewing basket and rummaged through it.
stand up.
She pretended to be stern and said: "You little girl, you managed to get me here with just a few drops of cat urine. Sister Qi, what were you talking about when we came here?"
Now that she had started talking, Qi Xie felt that her life was suddenly full of ambition again. Yes, a woman's happiness in the rest of her life should not be entirely pinned on a man. Didn't she mean those words to herself?
"When we came here, we said we were going to give Yunzhu a nose ring so that she would be obedient and do her work, so that you and I could have some fun!"
Seeing Qingwen take out a new pin and burn it repeatedly on the stove, a moment later Yunzhu got a piercing in one of her ears. The pain was so painful that she immediately jumped off the table and shouted helplessly: "A good sister is like this
Cruel, oh my God!”
Tan Yun, who was about to come in to get some tea, heard their words, and his snort stopped. He said, "Being a decent lady is the only way to live a decent and happy life."
