Chapter 22 The Big Girl
The day finally passed. Jiang Ting was so tired that she ran 200 miles a day. Her whole body was weak and she lay on ** and didn't want to move. The Jiang family does not have a hostess now, and this joy of housewarming should not have a female family. Of course, Sun Yun is a special case. She is a good friend of Jiang Ting. No matter when she comes to her, it is not abrupt. Moreover, Sun Yun is a person who likes to join in the fun. It's strange that she doesn't come to Jiang Ting for such a thing.
However, the arrival of the mother and daughter of the Li family today was unexpected by Jiang Ting. Therefore, Jiang Ting's perception of the Li family has been further reduced.
However, Sun Yun's popularity has been lost in one sentence, and the Jiang family has to make a statement about this matter. That is to say, she not only has to plead guilty to her father for what happened this morning, but also has to trouble him to deal with the Li family again.
Alas, the family is thinking about thinking about Dad. She really doesn't want her father to have anything to do with them anymore!
And that stinky girl Sun Yun. She just couldn't help saying more seriously, and she actually cried for her and cried for almost half an hour without stopping! She said all the good words before she persuaded her before lunch. Fortunately, although the girl twisted a little, her heart was still good and knew what was good and what was bad. Although she cried miserably, she mainly blamed herself for doing something wrong. This incident did not affect the friendship between the two.
However, thinking that Sun Yun walked with two walnut eyes, Jiang Ting felt very embarrassed and worried. If Sun Yun's parents saw this, what would they think? Will they think that she bullied their precious daughter and won't let Sun Yun get along with her from now on?
Alas, who made her owe so much? If Sun Yun's parents really don't let her come to play, the future will be even more boring.
Jiang Ting sighed and rolled away in **, resenting herself in her heart. Thinking about these things today, it's really sad!
At this time, one of Jiang Ting's new big maids, loved embroidery and walked lightly from the outside to the bedside. She lowered her eyes, and her voice was very soft, with twelve points of respect in it. She asked Jiang Ting, who was rolling **, "Girl, it's time for dinner. Can people pass on the meal?"
Jiang Ting stiffened her movements and slowly got up. As an adult whose soul is almost 30 years old, Jiang Ting feels that her behavior just now is too harmful to her image. Well, it seems that we have to set a rule in the future. Don't let people come in. Fortunately, she is only ten years old and still a child. It's so rolling, and others won't think it's too discord.
She subconsciously scratched her head and made the hairstyle that was already very messy more messy. Lianxiu subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ting's head, which was about to look like a chicken coop, and asked again with an unchanged expression, "Girl, do you want to freshen up first?"
Jiang Ting stopped scratching her head. She slowly looked up at the love embroidery she had just met today.
I saw that she was slightly taller than Zhihua, which was about 1.5 meters tall. It's just that she should look older than Zhihua. Knowing that Hua is 14 years old, she should be 16 or 7 years old.
Looking at the appearance, the love embroidery looks more gentle. She is not as bright and touching as Zhihua. Although she is only 14 years old, she already has some amorous feelings. The embroidery looks more mature and calm, and looks good, but it gives people a soft and quiet beauty, which makes people feel much calmer when they see it.
Jiang Ting smiled at Lianxiu, made a cute look that the child should have, nodded and replied crisply, "Well, please help me freshen up first. But don't order dinner first. I'll go to my father's place to have dinner with him later. By the way, I also called Zhihua in to help me find comfortable clothes. This dress was wrinkled by me. It's not good to wear it to see my father.
Love embroidery looked respectful and blessed. First, she helped Jiang Ting sit in front of the dressing table, and then went outside to let people call Zhihua. Then she ordered someone to help Jiang Ting wash her face, and then came in and walked behind Jiang Ting to help her lower her head and untie her hair.
"Girl, what kind of hair style do you want to comb?" In the bronze mirror, a light smile appeared on the soft face. Although the bronze mirror was a little cloudy and could not be seen clearly, Jiang Ting felt that the shallow smile made Lianxiu's whole face bright and become very touching.
"Well, just comb it in a simple and comfortable way. However, Lianxiu, you look so beautiful when you smile. Jiang Ting said with admiration, "You and Zhihua are both beautiful, and I don't know where my father found you? I've been very busy all day today, and I didn't have time to ask about your background. Can you tell me?"
The smile on Lianxiu's face remained unchanged. While quickly helping Jiang Ting loose her hair, he replied to her seriously: "Girl, my maidservant is 17 years old this year. When I was a child, my family was too poor and I was sold to people's teeth. After the slave was sold, he was put together with many other sisters to be specially**. When ** is ready, some of us will be sent to large families as maids; some will be sent to those unclean places. I had a good life. At the age of ten, I was sent to a rich family and became a little girl on the needle line. A year ago, the family fell and heard that they lost a lot of money in business. I dare not ask about these things, and I don't know them very well. However, later, the family wanted to move out of the capital, and a little girl with no family like the maidservant was sent to the hospital by the master's family. The slave maidservant can do a little bit of needlework. When providing for the courtyard, she took some work to support herself and begged the adults in charge of the yard not to sell the maidservant randomly. A month ago, the master came to the courtyard to choose a big girl. The maidservant felt that the master looked at charity and took the initiative to recommend herself. Before the maidservant was sold, he had served the girl of the former master's family. The master thought that the maidservant was older and could take good care of the girl, so he chose the maidservant to come to the house.
As Lianxiu said, the other side had helped Jiang Ting smooth all her hair with a thick-toothed wooden comb and began to comb her bun with a grate.
At this time, Zhihua has also come in, and she doesn't need to ask Jiang Ting. While opening the cage to help her find clothes, she opened her and introduced herself: "The maidservant has also been sold since she was a child. However, the slave was sold into the tile by human teeth. Slaves have been taught for several years, learning to read, draw, learn to play the piano, learn to dance, learn to sing music... Anyway, they learn everything. The maidservant thought that his life would be ruined in it, but he didn't think that the team of Wazi had committed a crime three years ago and was captured in prison. Later, the maidservant had to return to freedom. But the maidservant was only 11 years old at that time. She had no relatives in the capital, so she went to the courtyard and sold herself to a study house, which was also a girl who served the family. At the beginning of this year, the girl is getting married. The former master wants slaves to follow him to do the dowry. The maidservant... The maidservant was unwilling, so he begged the girl to let the maidservant go. Later, like Sister Lianxiu, she was chosen by the master to serve the girl.
Jiang Ting was a little surprised and looked at the painting in the mirror and asked, "Oh? Why don't you want to be a dowry? Doesn't that girl treat you well?"
Zhihua suddenly blushed and lowered his head to hide his reply, "When I returned to the girl's words, the former master asked the maidservant to be a dowry, thinking that the maidservant could add some help to the girl in the future..."
Jiang Ting was confused and asked, "Do you want to add help? What can you help a girl with?
Zhihua brushed her face and replied awkwardly, "That's... when the girl gives birth in the future, let the slave maidservant..."
Jiang Ting looked at Zhihua's touching face and suddenly understood: "They want you to follow the girl's husband as a concubine!"
Zhihua and Lianxiu listened to Jiang Ting's loud words, and they all blushed with shame. Zhihua was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. He was frozen in place and dared not move. On the contrary, Lianxiu is finally older, and he has been entrusted by Jiang Yong a lot in advance. At this time, he suppressed his shame and gently advised Jiang Ting, "Girl, you are still young. These things..."
Jiang Ting raised her hand to stop the words of love embroidery, looked at Zhihua with bright eyes and asked, "Zhihua, tell me clearly, don't you want to be a concubine?"
Zhihua was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to get into the crack of the ground, but when she heard Jiang Ting's serious question, she was afraid that she would not escape the sad fate this time, so she knelt on the ground and cowardly begged Jiang Ting cowardly: "Girl, I have seen the difficulties of being a concubine before. Slaves and maidservants know that their identity is low, and they really don't want to... dare not be greedy for such wealth. Asking the girl to atone for her sins, the maidservant and the maidservant are really..."
Jiang Ting quickly waved her hand to get her up and said, "Get up quickly. You don't have to kneel at any time. I'm not such a cruel person. I won't kneel to you casually. However, it's good that you don't want to be a concubine. I have to reward you for this girl. Girl, I hate women who are willing to be concubines the most in my life. Well, what can I give you? By the way, I'll give you this hairpin. Although its style is simple, the broken gems on it are all true. This thing is not too expensive, but it is better than the pure color of the gemstone. Such a positive red color, if you become a concubine in the future, you can't use it. I'll give it to you. If you marry someone and put on this hairpin in the future, you will know how right your choice is.
Seeing that Zhihua happily took over the hairpin, Jiang Ting also asked Lianxiu, who was still carefully combing her hair in the mirror, "What about you? Don't you want to be a concubine? You are 17 years old this year, and it's time to get married. Since you chose to enter our house, you probably don't want to be a concubine. You all know about my father. He is not a lustful person.
After listening to Jiang Ting's words, Lianxiu's embarrassed hands trembled and almost loosened the newly combed bun again. She hurriedly wrapped Jiang Ting's bun with a head rope, and then replied with a red face, "Girl, I have never thought about... being a concubine. Slave..."
Jiang Ting looked at Lianxiu in the mirror and said with a smile, "Well, I didn't want to be a concubine. The girl also has a reward. This pair of earrings is given to you, and the top is also inlaid with red broken gems, which is the same as the hairpin of Zhihua. Don't worry, girl, I know it. When I learn embroidery from you and satisfy my father, I will find a good man to marry you. It's the same with Zhihua. You are a few years older than me. When you get old, I will also help you choose a good husband-in-law. All right, from now on, I will take charge of you two in the courtyard this month. I'll change my clothes first. Let's go to the main room first and discuss in detail when we come back. Which one are you in charge of?
After listening to this, Zhihua and Lianxiu quickly stood up and saluted Jiang Ting respectfully: "The maidservants obey."
