Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 13 Action

Walking all the way back to the yard, from time to time, servants would meet them, pointing and talking in a low voice.

Mancao's face turned serious, and she was going to teach her a lesson.

"Go back, let them go." Qing Huan stopped her. If she didn't guess wrong, it should still be related to the matter of that box. The matter of Chunying just left the yard by herself, so it didn't spread so quickly.

If Mancao had taught those servants in the past, there would soon be news that Seventh Girl was domineering and bullied and taught servants at will.

In this mansion, people can be sisters, aunts and nephews, but everyone has to prepare for their own interests after marriage.

When Aunt Liu took the box from Mancao's hand, she froze for a moment.

"Why is it so heavy?"

"It was given by Mrs. Ru Yang, Auntie, take a look." Qing Huan rubbed her eyebrows and said lightly.

When Aunt Liu heard the words, she quickly opened the box.

With a bang, the box was heavily closed, and Aunt Liu's trembling voice came.

"Girl, what should I do?"

Ling Lu also saw the things in the box, dazzled her eyes when it was full, and wanted to be happy for the girl, when she heard Aunt Liu's words.

"What's the matter, isn't this great?"

Qing Huan took a look at Mancao, then walked to Arhat's bed and sat down.

Aunt Liu gently took off her shoes and helped Qing Huan relax, gradually removing the stiffness in her body.Qing Huan lay still on her stomach, hearing what Man Cao taught Ling Lu.

"Linglu, let me ask you. If the girl rewarded sister Xuezhu with a box of jewelry, but only gave us one for each of us, what would you think?"

"How is it possible?" Linglu blurted out, "A girl wouldn't do such a thing."

"Is it if?" Mancao had a tone of hatred for iron and steel.

Linglu is not stupid, but her temper has made Mancao straighter.He lowered his head and thought about it, and soon understood the reason: "Then Mrs. Ru Yang did this to make the girl jealous."

Seeing Man Cao nodding her head, Ling Lu was annoyed. "The girl didn't offend her, why did she do this. She is the second girl's future mother-in-law, why is she like this?"

"Sometimes, it's not about offending her. Some people like to watch dramas, and they like to mess up other people's houses to achieve their own goals. It's even to satisfy her pleasure that can be forgotten soon after passing by. "What's more, Qing Huan thought to herself, who said she didn't offend her.Just because she is Ya Huan's younger sister, she might have offended Madam Ru Yang.

"Has Xuezhu returned?" Qing Huan said.

While pressing gently, Aunt Liu said: "I haven't seen her come back, but a little servant girl came and said that she will not go back to the yard today, and will stay with the second girl."

"Girl, do you think this Xuezhu will betray the master." Linglu muttered.

Qing Huan smiled: "It's not our people, what kind of betrayal. These days, who of you has heard that Xuezhu is good at embroidery?"

If it wasn't for the old lady who suddenly sent someone to say that the second girl was too busy and asked Xuezhu to help, Qing Huan thought that those people in her room would not know about it at all.In the past, I only knew that a maid suddenly came by my sister's side, but the maid over there happened to be Rui Zhu who was now next to the second girl.

Qing Huan didn't know much about Xuezhu.

If I hadn't listened to the words of Mrs. Wang...

"Auntie, pack up some things and send them to Jun'er later. Mancao, you go with Auntie, when the time comes..." Qing Huan turned over and sat up and said, "Linglu, go and wring out a piece of silver."

Ling Lu took the scissors and asked, "How big are you going to twist?"

"It's almost enough, and it's three points higher than the average woman's reward." Qing Huan ordered.

Mancao thought for a while and realized who this was for?

Aunt Liu quickly packed up a bundle, which contained the clothes and robes she had made for Jun'er these days, and Qing Huan had specially instructed not to wear red.

"Girl, why don't I go with my aunt." Ling Lu said, "Mancao just came back with the girl."

To put it bluntly, I forgot that Mancao followed me back and forth, as I was still lying down, Mancao probably had sore feet too.Qing Huan is considering whether to replace the vine with Zero Dew.

Mancao has already taken the silver from Ling Lu's hand and put it on her waist.

"Where is it so delicate, let alone Linglu doesn't know Mrs. Wang. It's better for me to go."

Qing Huan acquiesced, this is what she was worried about, not to mention that if she went out now, more servants in the mansion might gossip, and Qing Huan was afraid that Aunt Liu would not be able to restrain Ling Lu.

. . . . . .

The second girl hurried out from the main room, followed by Ruizhu Xiaobu who followed behind.

"Girl, calm down." Rui Zhu shouted.

"Why do you think Seventh Sister's box of jewelry is more than mine, and my mother won't let me talk about Seventh Sister." Thinking of what her mother said in the main courtyard, the second girl felt aggrieved.It is obvious that he wants to become Uncle Ruyang's son, so Mrs. Uncle Ruyang slapped himself in the face by doing this.

"Miss, what is Miss Seven's identity, and what is your identity? Miss, why do you have to compare with her? She will soon become the wife of the eldest son. I don't know where the matter of Miss Seven is. Why should Miss get angry because of this?" Ruizhu persuaded in a low voice.

The second girl turned her head and walked back to the yard with an angry look on her face.

"Second Miss, what's the matter?" Xuezhu, who was making a quilt, went to the side and poured tea for Second Miss.

Ruizhu who followed in gave Xuezhu a dissatisfied look.

Xuezhu turned her head to the side, as if she was gone.

"Xuezhu, you go out first. Miss, I'm here." Ruizhu wanted Xuezhu to leave, and Xuezhu's behavior in the past two days had already made her feel vigilant.

Xuezhu's eyebrows were gentle, and she said softly: "Yes, but I made the girl's quilt just now. I thought the girl might like it, do you want to take a look at it. If there is something you want to modify, I will make the changes in advance. You can also start doing other embroidery work.”

Seeing Xuezhu's appearance, Ruizhu sneered in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, and stood meekly aside.

The second girl became interested, so she walked up the slum. The pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water was vividly embroidered on the quilt, and the surrounding circle was even more embroidered with Bingdi lotus.

The second girl touched the mandarin duck on the quilt, she turned her head indifferently and asked, "You serve Seventh Sister, do you know what kind of person Seventh Sister is?"

Xuezhu's heart moved, and she said with a helpless face: "The young lady is naturally as good as the second young lady. It's just that I just went there, and I don't know many things."

"I see that you are the only one following Seventh Sister, how could you not be clear about it?"

"Second girl, I'm the old lady's side, this..." Xuezhu said in embarrassment.

The second girl glanced at Ruizhu as if she had suddenly realized, she nodded, but said nothing.

Ruizhu's complexion was a little ugly, but it's hard to say much about this situation.

. . . . . .

Aunt Liu had just returned from the Rongshou Hall with the vines, and Qing Huan was talking to two people.

"I have already sent the burden to the young master. The young master saw the purse made by the girl inside, and he liked it very much. Before leaving, he asked the girls to visit him in the future." Aunt Liu only met Yan Jun this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she was just happy in her heart, and her tone of voice was much lighter.

Qing Huan sighed, it was embarrassing for Aunt Liu, if it wasn't for the reason of her siblings, Aunt Liu would have married early this time, and maybe she would have a child of her own.Instead of being a widow for life like now, I will find a way to arrange Aunt Liu by Jun'er's side in the future, so that Jun'er can also fulfill her filial piety.

Mancao also talked about Mrs. Wang's affairs. "I sent it over according to the girl's order, and only said that the girl thanked her for taking care of the young master."

Qing Huan nodded.

A servant girl reported that Mother Cui, who was in the eldest wife's room, had come.

Both the Cui Liang family and the Liu family were married maids brought by the eldest wife from the Liu family, but one was raised as a concubine, and the other was married to Cui Liang, the second steward of the mansion.This mother Cui can be regarded as the eldest wife's confidant, why did she come back to her small courtyard.

Qing Huan didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly invite Mama Cui to come in."

Mother Cui walked in with a bundle, smiling.

Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and pulled Mama Cui to sit down, Mama Cui repeatedly waved her hands and said she dared not do so.

Seeing this, Qing Huan said with a smile: "Mama Cui is the proud person around the eldest wife, I just want to curry favor with you. Mama Cui doesn't even make chairs, doesn't she want to make me sad."

"The girl made fun of me." After saying that, Cui's mother sat down with a smile, seeing that Qing Huan's words made her feel very good.

"Does the eldest lady have any orders? Mama Cui sent someone to tell me, Linglu and I just go to the main room, why does Mama Cui have to walk so hard." Mancao said while bringing tea over.

Cui's mother took a few sips and said with a smile, "Miss, this tea is really good."

Qing Huan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "If Mama Cui likes it, I will ask Linglu to send you a pack later. But this is not good tea, Mama Cui must not be disgusted when she sees it."

"What's going on?" Cui's mother was puzzled. She drank a lot of good tea at the eldest wife's side. Although the girl's tea was scented tea, Cui's mother was not someone who had never seen the world, so she had drank it naturally. .

"The girl is not used to drinking a single green tea, so I asked someone to choose jasmine flowers and dry them, and mix them with green tea. When drinking, add a little garam masala juice, and the taste is very good. The taste of jasmine can overwhelm the taste of green tea. People who don't really specialize in tea ceremony can't drink the quality of the tea." Mancao explained with a smile.

"Really." Cui's mother was delighted. If this is the case, it would be good to treat guests at home in the future. It can save a lot of money and gain a good reputation.

"Of course it's true, isn't Mama Cui drinking it?" Qing Huan said with a smile: "If you don't have Zhejiang juice, it's okay to put down the honey."

Mother Cui nodded and took a few more sips.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know that Mama Cui is here..."

Mother Cui seemed to have only remembered half of it, and pointed to the burden she had put down just now.

"The eldest wife asked me to send this over. It was originally prepared for the second girl, but unfortunately, she was made too small. The second wife thought that the girl's stature is smaller, so it should be suitable. It's just bad." I'll send it to Miss Seven."
