Chapter 7 Ripples
After sending Xie's mother away, Liu Ye took advantage of something and went back to Meiyuan, leaving only Bilian and Fuduoduo with big eyes.
After a while of silence, Bilian hesitated for a long time before saying, "Auntie, are you angry with the slave?" Bilian stood on the side of Fuduo with her head down, and her apricot eyes rotated to observe her expression from time to time. Her careful behavior seemed to be a poor little bulliful by a vicious mother-in-law.
Fuduoduo stared at Bilian, pulled a smile, and asked ignorantly, "What did you do to be angry with me?"
"servant..." The corners of Bilian's mouth were slightly crooked and she wanted to explain.
"All right." Seeing that she was afraid that she would embarrass her, Fu Duoduo felt bored for a while and didn't want to hear anything. He waved his hand boredly and said with a tired face, "Since you asked you to come here, just stay. There are two ear rooms in this small courtyard. You can choose one as your living room. Fuduo stroked his forehead and continued, "I'm tired. You go down first."
"Yes." Bilian opened her mouth and finally retreated silently.
"Wait." When she was about to cross the threshold, Fu Duoduo suddenly stopped her and said, "And don't forget to clean the courtyard carefully."
Bilian's lips opened slightly, and some couldn't believe that Fuduoduo would let her clean the courtyard at this time.
It's raining outside the house, which is not as gentle as the previous drizzle. Standing in the open air will make your whole body wet. Although this courtyard is only as big as a slap, it is absolutely impossible to clean it for a while. Did she do this to cause a warning to the incident by not telling her previous things in time?
As Bilian guessed, that's what Fuduoduo's move meant. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard at a young age, it triggered these things. If you don't knock on her, you may know what will be difficult to control in the future. It's better to let her know as soon as possible that she is not the clay figurine that can be kneaded by others. !
However, standing on the edge of the broken hemp paper window and looking at the small figure in the courtyard that is busy in the rain, Fuduoduo can't help but feel a little unbearable. However, for the sake of her and herself in the future, Fuduoduo still forced himself not to be soft-hearted, so he turned his eyes to the courtyard door where Zhulu has fallen off. , secretly praying for Bi Tao to come back early.
I don't know how long it took. Fuduoduo's eyelids began to fight. Gradually, his vision became more and more blurred, and his thoughts became chaotic. Unconsciously leaned on the bedpost and fell asleep.
Although Fuduoduo was sleeping, she was still very vigilant. She noticed that someone was gradually approaching her, and it was a strange atmosphere. Out of instinct, Fu Duoduo grabbed the hand that wanted to reach out to him, opened his eyes and shouted fiercely, "Who!"
"Auntie, she is a slave maidservant, a slave maidservant Bilian." Bilian stood by the bed at a loss, her eyes full of tears of grievance.
"It's you." Fu Duoduo glanced up and down at Bilian, who was wet all over, and said, "What did you want to do just now?"
Bilian explained with a sobbing voice: "The maidservant has just cleaned the courtyard and wanted to go into the house to return, but she fell asleep with your thin clothes against the bedpost, thinking that you would definitely catch a cold, so I found a piece of clothes to put on for you, but..."
Hearing this, Fu Duoduo looked down at the semi-old winter coat covering her body and understood that Bilian was not lying. He immediately let go of her hand and said, "I blamed you."
"I dare not." Bilian hurriedly bent her knees.
"You don't have to be afraid. I'm not the master who doesn't want to be with. As long as you don't make trouble, I will only treat you well and never be like this day." Fuduoduo explained a few words lightly. After all, you have to live under the same roof in the future. If you have a grudge, sooner or later, something will happen. "Look at your clothes are soaked in rain. First, go change your clothes and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold so that you don't get sick."
"Yes, I'm going to change my clothes and come to serve my aunt later." I don't know that Fuduoduo's words worked. Bilian swept away the previous unhappiness and unfolded a sweet smile again, just like the innocence of the first meeting.
Fuduo nodded with relief and thought that he was just a child under ten years old. How could he have so many thoughts? Although he thought so, he was still a little worried about her.
Soon, Bilian changed her clean clothes and automatically rolled up her sleeves and began to wipe the dust.
Looking at Bilian quickly wiping the few furniture in the house, Fuduoduo had the intention to let her rest for a while, but she still didn't say anything. By doing this, she just wants to please herself to make up for her previous mistakes. If she disturbs her more, it will definitely make her think more. It's better to let her go.
Fu Duoduo picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, which was very helpless. This is also the reason why she likes to be quiet. After all, there will be rivers and lakes where there are people. In order to protect herself, she has to struggle to speculate about the other party's thoughts and some body language.
This lifestyle is very tired, too tired, not what she wants.
Just as Fuduoduo sighed endlessly, there was a sound of light footsteps in the courtyard.
Fu Duoduo did not get up to look at it, but looked at the curled tea leaves in the cup in a daze. After all, she was disappointed and lost again and again. She didn't believe that it was really the return of Bi Tao this time, so she raised her jaw slightly and asked Bilian to go out to have a look. Who sent someone to visit or send someone here.
But as soon as Bilian stepped out of the threshold, she heard her happy call: "Auntie, it's my sister! My sister is back!"
Sister? In this compound, who else can make Bilian call her sister so affectionately? Isn't it her own sister Bi Tao?
Fuduoduo suddenly stood up and looked at the vague and familiar figure through the mutilated window paper, so that the tea cup slipped from his hand. It was not until the porcelain and the ground made a crisp sound that she pulled back to the wandering god.
Looking at the scattered fragments on the ground, Fu Duoduo was stunned and hurriedly lowered his body to pick them up.
"Auntie!" As soon as she reached out and touched the porcelain piece, the back of her cold hand was covered with a warm hand with a thick cocoon, slightly smaller than her, and the familiar murmur came from her ear, "Auntie, you are really. As soon as I was not by your side, I smashed the most beautiful tea cup in our yard. What a loser!"
Fuduoduo, who was complained by Bitao, didn't think it was a pestle and said with a strong smile on his face, "Isn't there still your housekeeper Bitao by my side? What are you afraid of? I know that my Bitao is the best at financial management. Even if I am a loser, I won't starve to death. Seeing the living Peach in front of her, Fuduoduo felt that the stone blocking her chest disappeared inexplicably, which made her much more relaxed, and her words were full of brisk tones.
Hearing Fu Duoduo's words, Bi Tao picked up the porcelain pieces and paused slightly. There was a strong sadness in her drooping eyes, but when she looked at Fu Duoduo unconsciously, she quickly adjusted her state, so that people could not notice anything abnormality at all.
"Auntie, don't get blindly, so as not to cut your hand. Miss Lianqing, who is serving next to the young master, is here. You'd better go and greet her. After cleaning up the pieces, he went to make tea again.
Lian Qing? Young master? Isn't Xie's mother just left? Why is there another maid? Today, this secluded courtyard is really lively.
Thinking about it, Bilian led a young woman in a beige skirt and came to her with great grace.
Fu Duoduo was stunned. This elegant skirt seemed to have known each other, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"I've met my aunt." Lian Qingying saluted Fuduoduo. Before Fuduo could react, she stood up by herself and said gently, "Young master asked your aunt to attend Fushouyuan tomorrow, and please don't forget."
Fuduo was shocked and asked, "Is it a waiter? But my own body has not recovered yet. If I drag the sick body forward, won't I spread the disease to the young master?
Lian Qing did not squint and said lightly, "This is what the young master means."
Fuduoduo was speechless. Although she had never seen the young master who had been sick for nine days in ten days, Fuduoduo listened to Bitao's nagging about him. I heard that the young master is not bad, but because of his long-term illness and lingering in the bed, his temperament is very strange. It is not clear how strange Bitao is, but no matter how strange his temper is, he will not beat and scold slaves.
In recent years, the young master's illness has been good and bad, and he has been unable to get rid of the medicine jar. Because he is the only seedling of Yufu, everyone follows his meaning and dares not rebellious. Even if he wants the stars and moon in the sky, the Yu family will also get it in a different way, so there are many blessings that have neither status nor rights in their hearts. No matter how she resists, she can't protest and can only take one step at a time.
"Auntie, auntie..." Just as Fuduo was thinking about how to deal with it tomorrow, Bituo gently called her a few times, indicating that Lian Qing was still waiting for her reply.
Fuduoduo looked up awkwardly and happened to look at Lian Qing with his unhappy eyes. He coughed in a hurry and secretly said in his heart that he was really the same as raising all kinds of people. Looking at Xie's mother's powerful person, he was still kind to himself, and this person named Lianqing was inexplicably hostile to himself, but anyway Fu Duoduo still said politely to her, "Then please ask Miss Lianqing to tell the young master that I will go there tomorrow morning."
"In this case, Lianqing has something else to do, so don't bother your aunt." After saying that, he saluted Fuduo, swayed his willow-like body and left gracefully.
