splendid heap

Chapter 64
Because the daughter brought up the second girl, the eldest lady remembered the unpleasant experience, so she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, she just snorted coldly and said: "What's the matter, you let her jump, she jumps and falls more and more happily The more serious you are, don't bother with her, you don't have to be ashamed, she has someone to help us clean up, we don't have to pay attention to it, it's true mother." She knew that her daughter had always disliked the second girl, so she always It's a way to run, so she can only explain it like this. In fact, if she didn't know something about the situation of the second girl's grandparents, she couldn't say it and couldn't let go of this knot. But this matter is too important, she can't tell her daughter, That's all I can say.

Listening to the mother talking about not letting herself provoke the second sister, the fourth lady just hummed in her heart, she would not leave any excuse to provoke the second sister, if she let her see the opportunity to step on the second sister, she would feel awkward, Naturally, she just doesn't like this elder sister who has snatched all her first positions, but seeing her mother's secretive appearance, she decides not to mention the matter of letting Taohua deliberately let her go. The wife has asked someone to talk about it. The second sister just knew about it a day earlier, so it doesn't matter to her, so she nodded obediently and said: "Well, I understand, mother, don't worry."

Hearing her daughter's serious answer, the eldest lady was relieved. She always felt that her daughter was very obedient and obedient. Since she agreed, she would not do it. The mother and daughter happily talked about other unimportant things for a while. .Just when the two of them finished talking, Huang Li cleverly brought melons and pineapples that had been washed and cut. The eldest lady was very happy, and hurriedly called the other three Huang and Tao Hua to come into the house to eat melons. It became lively.

During this morning's work, the masters in Duke Wei's mansion, who are tired from just one thing, are in a state of mind. If the aunt and wife really come to the mansion, it will be so lively, but these are very expensive for them. Ladies and noblewomen are not annoying at all, they are already claustrophobic, and they can only live with something to do.

But these are irrelevant to Huihui in the east courtyard. Although everyone always involves her in this matter to some extent, she doesn't know it now, but even if she knew, she would naturally It doesn't matter, because she has no interest in what others ask for, and she is even very distressed about how to push this seemingly pie thing out.

In one, after Huihui discussed the aunt's affairs with the nanny, she calmly waited for her brother's letter. For her, her brother must have received the letter a long time ago. Now that she knows that this matter has something to do with her, she must immediately think about ventilating with her. According to the past, she might think that her brother, a teenager who is struggling with persecution in the inner courtyard, can solve it for her After learning about this matter, it is different now. Through Mammy's words, she has a feeling that everything is mysterious, and her brother may not be as weak as he wants to show.

No, after noon, Huihui, who had been doing needlework all morning, couldn't sit still. She knew in her heart that noon was the most sleepy time for people. If Miaoer got a letter from her brother, she must pick this When the time came, I didn't go to bed anymore, and said to Xiangyu who was cleaning up her couch: "Don't clean up, I won't sleep today, I don't have to tire you to carry water and mop the bed back and forth, come and sit for a while, see You keep fumbling here and there as soon as you finish eating." After speaking, Huihui patted the stool beside her.

Miss Xiangyu was waiting for the young master's letter, so she hurriedly asked strangely: "What do you mean, can you stand it if you don't sleep for a while at noon? You sleep every day, why don't you sleep today, right? Worried about the medicine powder? Sigh, I don’t know when the young master will get the news, but if all the aunts and wives come, the young master doesn’t have a letter, that would be terrible.”

Huihui was waiting for Miao'er to come, and when she heard Xiangyu say this, she said in a funny way: "Look at you, you blow up your nest as soon as I have a trouble, but it's just that you don't take a nap for a day, and it's not like that in the past No, it's worth it for you? By the way, you can go outside and take a look later, I think Miao'er may be coming soon." After speaking, he winked mischievously at Xiangyu.

Hearing what the young lady said, Xiangyu recalled it, and cast a reproachful glance at Huihui, and said with a smile: "Now that young lady is getting more and more narrow-minded, she doesn't even talk to me when she has a plan in her heart, she just insists on it." Let me be anxious, but how do Miss know that Miaoer will come soon? Could it be that the young master has to believe it." After speaking, he didn't care about Tong Huihui's anger, and became happy again after being busy.

Huihui actually didn't have a complete idea in her heart. Seeing that Xiangyu was so happy, she was afraid that her miscalculation would disappoint her, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Okay, don't be too happy, I'm just guessing. Since Second Uncle Shi is in Beijing, he might be thinking of sending a letter to his elder brother, but his elder brother went hunting with the princes, so how could Second Uncle Shi find it easily? I don’t know if there is a letter. I think it's bad, or you don't go outside to see Miao'er, we will do needlework and wait together, so that we can calm down without delaying time."

Xiangyu didn't believe Huihui's words. In her heart, the young lady never said anything uncertain, so she shook her head and said, "I've already worn the soles of my shoes all morning, and my hands are weak, but I don't want to use needlework any more. Miss hasn’t read any books today, why don’t Miss sit on the couch and read for a while, since I have nothing to do by myself, I’ll go and sit under the locust tree outside, anyway, it’s cool there, and all the women in the yard are sleeping at this time Now, Honghua and Shu'er have also been sent away, no one will see that I have acted improperly."

Huihui couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she curled her lips and said angrily, "You still know that your behavior is inappropriate! Even if it's a little suspicious if I let you go out and have a look, you might as well just plan to sit down." It’s not surprising to wait in the yard. It’s noon on this hot day. No matter how windy or sheltered the yard is, there’s no shade in the house. How can you wait outside? You’d better be obedient and be honest. It would be nice to do needlework with me." When it comes to needlework, she is also full of helplessness, needlework is so trivial!

When Xiangyu heard this, she was really bored, thinking about it, Miao'er is really not easy to alarm people when she comes here at this time, if she goes out and guards, it is easy to attract other people's attention, it seems that she is very impatient, so she laughed He said: "Miss is right, I'd better work together with Miss and wait. By the way, today, Mammy gave Miss an order to embroider the embroidered handkerchief that you have been embroidering for a long time. Please, otherwise I will punish you, I see that Mammy is being cruel this time, Miss should be more careful."

When Huihui heard this, she really resented her. For the first time, she deeply hated her aunt's return. You said you would come back when you came back. Why did you choose a daughter-in-law? To be a well-known lady who can do everything well, other things are easy to talk about. What women pay attention to is nothing more than virtue, appearance, and merit. Virtue, she thinks she can adapt to the big rules, and she can stand upright; she can also be dignified in appearance Be prudent and polite, not frivolous and casual, let alone talk, she still knows what to say and what not to say.

Huihui felt that she could do the above three points easily, but the last one was a bit embarrassing for her. Generally speaking, this work is nothing more than the way of managing a family, which is probably about caring for husbands and children, respecting the old and loving the young, The details of life, such as thrift and thrift, can do the first three things, but the only details of life are difficult. There are housekeeping and female celebrities. Housekeeping must be able to go to the hall and the kitchen. Naturally, this The kitchen does not need to cook in a real underground kitchen like a woman from a small family.

On the face of it, it seems that a lady from a big family is much better than a girl from a small family. She does not need to cook by herself. Unfortunately, in Huihui's view, this is more difficult. Although she does not need to cook by herself, there are so many ingredients to be recognized. There are many kinds of rice, such as black rice, glutinous rice, japonica rice, rice, barley, purple rice, glutinous rice, pearl rice, etc. It is not important to know these rices, but to know how to make them is the best, otherwise in the future Chatting with people is a joke, and you are so particular about light rice, let alone other things.

For the kitchen, Huihui thought that she didn't have to do it herself, just like when she was going to college, she resigned herself to memorizing it by rote, and tried her best to ensure that when she chatted with people and drank tea, she would not fall into a fool who didn't know how to cook. , this is the last female celebrity left, I really hate this person, just like a girl from a small family who knows a little needlework and can still do it, but it's a pity that the requirements of the nanny can't be higher, not only knowing but also You have to be able to take the shot, not to mention the time delay, and you are still tired and your eyes hurt.

The most hateful thing for Huihui is that because her mother left early, she feels that she has a great responsibility, and she is even stricter than ordinary people's upbringing. Other things are good, only female red is really unforgiving You need to be good at needlework, you need to know everything about fabric identification, and you have to have a unique eye for matching colors and dresses. By the way, you have to know how to dress, and you have to have an eye for jewelry. There are so many requirements. It can't be any more, now that the nanny has not mentioned the tutorials except asking for female celebrities, it can be seen that my life will be in dire straits in the future.

Thinking of this, Huihui trembled unknowingly, and said with a wry smile: "Xiangyu! You see, there is no way for my mother to let me look after the accounts, and when she thinks of a way, we may not have a leisurely life at all. Thankfully, I have you by my side! Otherwise, I would really be helpless." After finishing speaking, he sighed and stalked the sweet potato, waiting to see her jump.

Sure enough, when Huihui said this, Xiangyu's face was bitter, and she said aggrievedly: "I don't know why, the young lady is a lady of everyone, so I will naturally have to marry a noble son tomorrow, these directors Naturally, women's red dresses and so on have to be handy in everything, and I am someone who is on a famous brand, and my brain is not as good as Miss, but the nanny insists on letting me follow suit. I really don't understand, Miss hurry up Son, help me intercede with Mama, I really can't learn well." While talking, Xiangyu looked at Huihui with hopeful eyes.
