Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 14 Action

Aunt Liu opened the bag, and as soon as the clothes were spread out, there were a few gasps.

The corners of Cui's mother raised her lips, as if she was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

Qing Huan frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment: "This dress is too expensive, Mama Cui, you still..." Qing Huan looked at Mama Cui, wanting her to help send it back.

"Girl, don't say that. Whether it's expensive or not, the wife will give it to the girl. If the girl pushes it away... after all, it's not a beautiful thing." Cui's mother stood up with a smile.

"It's been a while since I've been here, and the eldest lady is still waiting for my reply."

Qing Huan couldn't help it, so she turned around and shouted at Mancao: "Go and wrap a bag of that tea, and by the way, take a few of the smoked buns I made last time to Mama Cui."

Mancao nodded repeatedly, walked quickly into the floor-to-ceiling flower cover, and soon came back with a small cloth bag in her hand.

"The smoked buns are dried flowers, and they are placed next to the pillow when you sleep to help you sleep. If Mama Cui thinks it is useful, send someone over to tell me, and I will ask Linglu and the others to deliver it to you. "

Cui's mother flipped through the cloth bag slightly, and her smile became stronger.

When Cui's mother left, Linglu was going to put away the clothes.

"Wait." Qing Huan said, "Let me try."

Qing Huan went to the inside, and compared the size of the clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and it was several inches bigger.

"This..." Mancao was stunned.

"Put it away." Qing Huan said.

The clothes are not too small, it's just that the eldest wife's thoughts are unusual.This approach firstly caused the other sisters to be more wary of Qing Huan, and the second girl probably would have a fight if she found out.The act of the second eldest lady was telling Qing Huan that other than the old lady, there were other people in this house who could decide her fate.Just like this dress is gorgeous and exquisite, but if the eldest wife says it is not suitable, it is not suitable, and she can give it to anyone she wants.

"Do you want me to change it?" Aunt Liu said.

Qing Huan's footsteps paused, and it took a while before he said, "Not for now."

Seeing this, Aunt Liu didn't ask any more questions, carefully put it away and put it back into the bundle that Mama Cui sent, and let Mancao open the box and put it away again.

In the main room, the eldest wife sent away the other servants and was lying on the couch with her eyes closed.

Mother Cui stepped lightly and walked into the house carefully.

"Are you back?" The eldest lady on the roof did not open her eyes.

Cui's mother immediately said respectfully: "It has already been sent, and Miss Seven has also accepted it."

"She didn't say anything?"

Cui's mother smiled and said: "How can I not say it, but I said it was given to her by the eldest wife, how can I just reject it. Miss Seven didn't say much after hearing it, so she accepted it."

The eldest wife opened her eyes, looked at Cui's mother, and suddenly smiled: "You have taken a lot of benefits."

Cui's mother laughed when she heard this: "My wife is still wise, and I can only benefit from the name of the eldest wife. Fortunately, I am by the side of the eldest wife. How can others be so respectable."

"You, you just love to talk poorly." The eldest wife scolded with a smile.

Seeing the eldest wife's appearance, it seemed that she was not angry. Mother Cui breathed a sigh of relief, and with a shake of her hand, she opened the small cloth bag that Mancao had wrapped for her.

The eldest lady looked up, then nodded and kept silent.

"Ma'am, look at this..." Mother Cui asked cautiously.

The eldest lady glanced at it, and laughed and cursed: "It's not a good thing. If you like it, take it, as if I want to snatch it from you. Go back to my box and take the emerald jade hairpin you liked last time."

The eldest wife saw the jasmine petals in the cloth bag and some tea leaves of mediocre quality, so she naturally looked down on them. As for those smoked bags, the eldest wife dared not use other people's things.

"Thank you, madam." Mama Cui happily put away the cloth bag. The emerald jade hairpin is worth a lot of money, and the most important thing is that few people around the eldest lady can get such a reward.The eldest wife's behavior indirectly shows the status of Cui's mother in her heart.

Mother Cui couldn't be unhappy.

. . .

"You mean that Mama Cui from the eldest wife's house has gone to Miss Seven's yard?" The fourth girl paused while she was painting, and immediately there was a piece of ink on the drawing paper.

The painting was considered broken, Miss Si frowned and pulled it up and threw it aside.

"Yes, the woman who sans and sweeps saw it, and immediately sent a message, saying that she had brought a bag with her." The maid who returned the report carefully glanced at the fourth girl, and continued: "When Mama Cui left , his face was very happy, and he held a cloth bag in his hand, but he didn't know what it was. The woman said that the girls in the house would not let other people in their yard approach."

Taking out a purse from her side casually and throwing it over, the fourth girl said: "Let that woman keep watching, and report immediately if there is something to do."

The maid promised, holding her purse tightly in her hand, and left the room full of joy.

"Girl, if you are discovered." It was Shunqiao who was next to the fourth girl who spoke with a worried face.

"What are you afraid of?" The fourth girl said nonchalantly: "Who said it has something to do with me? I just met that maid and saw that she likes to give rewards to the purse. It's not the people around me. Who can push me. "

Shunqiao also knew that he was just saying something in vain.

"Girl, do you still want to paint?" Shunqiao took the drawing paper and was hesitating whether to spread it on the table again.

The fourth girl looked at the dyes on display, nodded and said: "Let's put it on, I will always get some of the drawings that the second girl wants. It's a pity for the one just now..."

The fourth girl took up the pen again, and there was no trace of regret on her face.

There was some hesitation on Shunqiao's face.

The fourth girl raised her head and said, "Do you have any thoughts? Didn't I tell you that you are someone close to me, and there are some things that I might not think of. If you think of it, you have to remind me."

Shunqiao smiled gratefully for Miss Four's trust in him, and after taking a few steps closer, said in a low voice, "Girl, I just don't understand, Miss Seven is just an orphan, so why waste your time going there?"

"You underestimate Seventh Sister too much." The fourth girl smiled and said, "If there are any sisters in this mansion that I fear, this Seventh Girl is one of them."

Shunqiao was grinding the painting materials carefully, her face full of puzzlement.

Fourth Miss explained: "Let me ask you, Seventh Miss has been here for so many days, how do the servants talk about her?"

"Girl." Shunqiao smiled embarrassingly.

"I don't know if those people in the house talk badly." The fourth girl sneered, and she began to learn housekeeping from her mother since she was seven years old.The things that will happen in the mansion, the mother has said to herself one by one.

What's more, I am not deaf, and I can always hear a few words.As for not caring, it's just because this mansion is the big housekeeper.I should talk less and do less, so as not to get into trouble.

Shun Qiao said nonchalantly: "The people in the mansion who say Miss Seven are just talking about orphans and orphans. As for the reputation, they are good, and the girl doesn't easily find work with them. In Seven Girl's yard, although there is less oil and water A little bit, but the work is also easy." Many people pulled into Qinghuan's yard are lazy, although there is less oil and water, they are happy and relaxed.Furthermore, there are not a few people like Si Miss who occasionally give rewards.

In this way, there is almost no dissatisfaction with Seventh Girl.

"This is the cleverness of Seventh Younger Sister. Do you think Seventh Younger Sister looks like a cowardly person without her own opinion?" Fourth Younger Sister asked.

Shunqiao blinked her eyes. Although she didn't have much contact with Miss Seven, she was definitely not the kind of person the girl said.

"Not like." Shunqiao honestly shook her head.

Seeing the fourth girl, she just smiled and said nothing, bowed her head and continued to paint.The peonies on the drawing paper bloomed brilliantly, just like the expectation of the fourth girl.

"The girl is painting in the room this time." There was a sound of walking outside the room.

"Go and have a look." The fourth girl said.

When the fifth girl came in, the fourth girl had already put down the paintbrush in her hand.

"Fourth sister draws really well." Fifth girl said enviously.

The fourth girl took the wet handkerchief Shunqiao handed over, wiped her hands, and then said with a smile: "If the fifth sister likes it, I will draw some for you."

The fifth girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly shook her head: "Forget it, this is for the second sister. I know that the fourth sister will draw dozens of pictures. In the future, my sister will draw one for me when she is free." .”

"Okay, when Fifth Sister and Second Sister are the same, Sister will also draw more than a dozen pictures for you." Fourth Miss joked.

The fifth girl blushed, she opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't speak.

Seeing this, the fourth girl smiled and said: "Sister is just playing with you, fifth sister, don't be angry."

"I haven't." Fifth girl said in a low voice.

"Our Fifth Sister is the best-hearted, Fourth Sister knows you." Fourth Miss took Fifth Miss's hand and walked to his Luohan bed beside him.

"Fifth sister, do you need something to find me?"

Shunqiao took the freshly brewed teapot and poured two cups of tea.The fourth girl personally brought a cup to the fifth girl's hand: "This is the Lu'an tea brought by my mother. I drink it very well. I have asked Shunqiao to take out a bag, and you can take it with you when the time comes. "

The fifth girl nodded, and then she talked about her purpose: "I looked through the things in the box, but I don't know what to give to the second sister. I want to ask the fourth sister..."

The fourth girl was taken aback for a moment, but then she realized that the fifth sister might not have the money to buy jewelry to add makeup, so of course she couldn't do it normally, after all, the second sister married into Uncle Ruyang's mansion.That is not an ordinary family, but if you don't choose expensive ones, you can only do some embroidery.In this way, if you come up with a decent makeup, the time will be tight.Naturally, it is necessary to start preparing early.

"Fourth sister." Fifth girl called out again.

The fourth girl came back to her senses, and smiled with the fifth girl: "Well, didn't the seventh sister also ask us about adding makeup last time? Tomorrow we will go to her place to see her, and we will discuss it together. .”

"Ah..." Miss Wu patted herself on the mouth lightly, and said annoyedly, "I forgot about it, luckily Fourth Sister reminded me."
