The beauty of the lady

Chapter 118 Accident (4)
Zhou Mei came in and sat down, took the tea bowl, drank it elegantly but hastily, and only recovered after drinking two cups.

"Auntie, how has Sister Yuan slept these few days?"

"Okay!" Speaking of her daughter, Lu's expression softened, "I heard from the girl that Yuan'er has been very good in the past two days. Although she occasionally wakes up at night, it has eased a lot."

"In this case, my medicine will be right for the disease." She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meier, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you." Thinking about the past, and looking at the time since Meier appeared, she always felt that this little girl was the lucky star bestowed on them and my sister-in-law by heaven.

She patted Lu's hand, and pouted her red lips coquettishly: "Aunt really wants to be as polite as Meier? We are a family."

"Yes, yes, what you said is that we are a family." Yes, this is a real family.

"Cousin, are you done?" Zhao Yuanyuan poked a small head in from outside the bead curtain, saw Zhou Mei talking to Mrs. Lu, and then walked in, "Cousin, let's go to your yard to do embroidery work, okay? There is something Yuan'er doesn't understand."

Lu's cast a coquettish look at her daughter, and said, "Yuan'er, your cousin just finished watching your father's legs, so she needs to take a break."

"Oh!" Although Zhao Yuanyuan was a little disappointed, she felt that her cousin could not disappear at any time, so she thought about it.

Zhou Mei stood up, took Zhao Yuanyuan's hand, and said to Lu Shi: "Auntie, I will take Yuanjie to my yard. You can eat at my side at noon. Xia Qi next to me cooks. Still delicious."

"It's good that it won't hinder you." Lu didn't object, saying that since Mei'er came, her daughter's smiles have also become more frequent. She is usually detained in Zhuxun Courtyard by her, and only when her son returns home at night It's time to play for a while. To be honest, she really owes this daughter a lot.

"No, sister Yuan is very good."

Zhao Yuanyuan also nodded vigorously as a guarantee: "Yes, mother, Yuan'er has always been very good with my cousin."

"That's good."

On the way back, the servants of the Hou Mansion saw Zhou Mei who was leading Zhao Yuanyuan. Although I can't understand Madam's intentions, at least I can find clues from the speech and behavior of the young masters.

Even the son of the eldest son is quite polite to this cousin, so they just need to be respectful, and there is no need to do anything else.

When they arrived at Shicui Courtyard, the two of them came to the Nuan Pavilion, and her girl took out the embroidery she had brought with her.

"Cousin, help me look here, I always feel that I am much worse than my cousin."

Zhou Mei took it and could only see that the embryonic form seemed to be an embroidered pattern of a colorful butterfly, and the part of the butterfly wings was very rough.

"Stitching is used here, but it should not be too dense, otherwise it will make the butterfly wings look very thick, and stitching can make the wings look very layered, just take it slowly."

"Well, then I'll try."

Next to them, Qiushu and Donghua also brought over Zhou Mei's large embroidered frame. On it was the embroidered pattern of a goddess scattering flowers, and it was only less than one-tenth embroidered, but the embroidered pattern placed in the corner of the embroidered frame, But it's amazing.

"Cousin, do you want to embroider this? It's so beautiful." In other words, looking at the huge embroidery frame, it is enough to see how beautiful this embroidery will be after it is completed.

"Really? Do sister Yuan like it?" She turned to look at the curious little girl.

"Yes, I like it."

"This is a screen embroidered for your aunt. If sister Yuan likes it, my cousin will embroider you a screen with flowers blooming in spring when you get married."

The sun near noon came in through the window sills and sprinkled on the brocade dresses of the two of them. It was as bright and dazzling as broken stars. In the copper tripod and octagonal precious animal incense burner in the house, there was a warm fragrance that could not be called delicious. Slowly drifting out, the smell is very light but pleasant.

Chunqin brought the fragrant tea from Yunwu needle buds and the snacks made by the small kitchen and put them down lightly, and quietly stepped back a few steps, standing there waiting for the master's order.

They like to stay by Miss's side because she treats them very well. Other girls can rest for at most three hours a day, but sometimes they can sleep for five hours.

Miss has a lot of things that she can do by herself, and she will never teach them to be girls.

Even the cleaning servants of the Zhou Mansion are much more comfortable than those in other places, and even the monthly money is not much different.

The lady said that with the dignity of a big girl, they can't compare with those who are lower than them but work harder, and they think it is very reasonable.

The new clothes every year are not those cheap fabrics, all are warm and comfortable materials, which are not worse than those worn by the masters of those big merchants, especially during the Chinese New Year, there are better new clothes, according to the young lady. , she likes to see everyone happy.

Compared with Xia Qi, this point will be more profound.

There are no messy rules in the Zhou Mansion. As long as you do things with your heart, the master will not blame you, and you will not be punished for breaking the teacup. No matter how strong they are, they will be sent to Mother Qiu to learn the rules again. This is what scares them.

In short, everything is the best for the servants of Zhou Mansion.

Now that the young lady is suffering in the Hou's mansion, being ridiculed openly and secretly, it's no wonder they feel better.

"It's great that my cousin can come." Zhao Yuanyuan, who was doing embroidery work with her head down, said in a low voice with slightly red eyes.

In the mansion, there is finally a place where she can come and leave happily.

"Silly girl, if you like to come, you can come anytime. Sister Yuan, take good care of your body and drink your medicine. When I have a chance in the future, I will take you out for a walk."

"Where are you going?" the little girl asked eagerly.

"Go to the street to see?" She tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Shangyuan Festival next year, shall we go out to watch lanterns together?"

"Is it really okay? Cousin, is what you said true?"

"Haven't you seen it?" This expression was too excited.

Zhao Yuanyuan shook her head, with disappointment and longing on her face, "No, grandma doesn't allow me to go out."

Zhou Mei nodded, but she can understand this. The ancient boudoir lady practiced not to leave the door, even if she went out, she had a purpose, and she couldn't stay outside for a long time.

"Then next year my cousin will take you out for a walk. There are many delicious and interesting things on the street. I guarantee you will like them."

"Well, I'll wait." After speaking, as if feeling not excited enough, he added, "Yuan'er will wait obediently."
