Chapter 18 Trading
Fu Duoduo was completely stunned by the news brought by Zhang's mother and looked a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, Yitong led two maids in lilac and pine jackets, who were about the same age as Fu Duoduo. After the two of them saluted Yu Shiyi and Fuduoduo, Mother Zhang pointed to her round face, happy, and said in lilac color, "This is green chrysanthemum. The hands are very coincidental. The stove and the female red are good handles." He pointed to another long face and said, "That's Hongmei, smart and knows a little about literature and ink." With that, he paused and asked Fu Duoduo, "Auntie, what do you think?"
How about it? How can it be?
They are not what Fuduo wants at all.
However, since it was sent by the eldest wife, Yu Shiyi did not express any opinions, so Fuduoduo could only thank him with a smile.
Mom Zhang smiled with her eyes open.
Before coming to Fushouyuan, the eldest wife once told her to send a maid to Fuduoduo, all according to Yu Shiyi's intention. However, the old lady had already told her that these two maids would definitely stay, and the result was really not as expected by the old lady.
Now that the purpose has been reached, there is no need for Zhang's mother to stay. She ordered a few words of green chrysanthemum and red plum to serve Fu Duoduo well, so she got up and bent her knees and retreated.
Fuduo was full of thoughts about Bitao. Seeing Zhang's mother leave, he was very anxious and wanted to ask questions, but he also knew that it was not a good time to endure it, but his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching. His mouth was tightly, slightly wrinkled his nose, and even Yu Shiyi got up. When she entered the room, she didn't notice it. Hongmei beside her pushed her gently, and then she reacted and followed her in a hurry.
"What's on your mind?" Yu Shiyi lay lazily on his side on the noble concubine's couch, looking lazy all over. Compared with Zhang's mother before, he was much more friendly.
Fu Duoduo squeezed his lips and thought about whether to tell the truth.
Yuguang glanced around, and there were only two of them in the inner room. Even Chun Ying did not follow up. He knew that Yu Shiyi did not like many people wandering around him. After thinking for a moment, he took care of everything that had happened in the past few days. Finally, he raised his eyes slightly, looked directly at Yu Shiyi's inquiring eyes and said, "Young master, I'm worried about my maid Bitao."
"Peach?" Yu Shiyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Fuduoduo straightened up, aggravated his tone, and said, "Yes, Bitao, my personal maid has been taking care of me since I fell into the ancient well."
"Gujing?" Yu Shiyi muttered, "She is quite loyal." He looked up and asked Fu Duoduo, "Didn't Zhang's mother say that she had a marriage and would leave the house today? What are you worried about? Are you afraid that she is married to someone? However, throughout the ages, the matchmaker has been the words of her parents that even if you have been her master, you have no right to interfere.
"The cheap concubine knows, but this matter is really too strange. The cheap concubine wants to ask Bi Tao in person so that she can feel at ease." Every word is full of worries about Peach.
Yu Shiyi smiled and said, "It's just a maid's marriage contract. Why is it strange?" It's very disapproving.
Fu Duoduo's eyes suddenly knelt in front of Yu Shiyi and said resolutely, "If the cheap concubine can say why, can the young master help the cheap concubine get Bitao back to the cheap concubine? The cheap concubine is willing to pay any price!" Fuduoduo doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to spread her weakness in front of Yu Shiyi, but now that the situation is urgent, does she have any other better choices? She can only gamble.
Yu Shiyi bent the corners of his mouth and smiled, "The price? Your whole body is mine. What price can you pay?
Hearing this, Fuduoduo knew that there was a play, but he just needed her to make a statement. He couldn't help but tighten his little face, looked serious, and responded aggressively, "I think the young master, you let me live in Fushouyuan. It should be a great deal. The concubine will try her best to help." He didn't say much, just expressed his position.
"Oh?" Yu Shiyi asked with great interest, "Do you think that I let you come to Fushouyuan, didn't it all be the fate between us? After all, you can be regarded as my concubine. There is no reason to watch you suffer! Are you so confident that I have a purpose? With that, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and his thumb rubbed his green and red blood-red fingers and walked a few laps around Fu Duoduo.
As soon as he heard Yu Shiyi's first few words, Fu Duoduo was a little nervous and wondered if he had guessed wrong, but when he heard his last sentence, if he still didn't understand, he would have lived a lifetime and said more firmly: "The world is full of knowledge, and my concubine believes in herself."
"What a world that is full of knowledge! Fushi, I really underestimated you." The praise and criticism are unclear. Fu Duoduo did not talk to him and looked at Yu Shiyi, who was waiting to make a decision. After a moment of silence, Yu Shiyi sat back on the noble concubine's couch and said an ambiguous words to Fu Duoduo, "Mother Zhang should not have gone far yet. Maybe it's not possible that she hasn't left Fushouyuan now."
Fu Duoduo looked up confusedly and looked at Yu Shiyi puzzledly.
Yu Shiyi turned his back to Fu Duoduo and seemed to say to himself, "One drink and one peck, can it be settled."
Hearing this, Fu Duoduo muttered Yu Shiyi's words and wanted to ask him what he meant, but he saw that Yu Shiyi had closed his eyes, breathed smoothly and looked happy, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Fuduo thought for a moment and slowly stood up. He inadvertently saw a coat of amber cloth floating past his eyes through the window lattice covered with Korean paper.
Fuduoduo remembers that Zhang's mother wore the color of this dress when she came.
As soon as his eyes moved, Fu Duoduo understood what Yu Shiyi meant and turned around and walked out of the inner room. However, when his hand was about to touch the curtain, Fu Duoduo paused, turned around and went back. His dark eyes turned around the room and saw the woolen blue coat placed at the head of the bed.
She picked up her clothes gently, and then came to Yu Shiyi's resting imperial concubine's couch. She carefully opened her coat and covered him. After making sure that she would not suffer the cold, Fu Duoduo quickly turned around and left in a hurry.
After Fuduoduo left, Yu Shiyi, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and touched the fluffy edge hair with both hands, revealing an unknown expression. It was not until a long time later that he slowly got up and said to the silent air, "Go and see how the front yard is now? It's rare that today's day is so good that it needs to be lively.
"Yes." From the back of the red sandalwood carved bone pull-out bed, a low male voice came.
"Bearby, the girl named Bitao, please check her details carefully and let me know as soon as you find out." Yu Shiyi thought about it and added.
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Yu Shiyi nodded and waved his hand. He only heard a slight "squeaky" sound behind him, and then returned to silence.
When Fuduoduo walked out of the inner room to look for Zhang's mother, she was no longer in Fushouyuan.
"Auntie, what are you looking for?" Chunying saw her aunt come out, looked left and right, and hurried forward to ask.
Auntie took a look at her and felt that it was okay to tell her, and then asked, "Where's mother Zhang? Has she left yet?"
Chunying's face showed confusion, but he still answered honestly, "Mother Zhang just left and said that she had something to do." After a pause, he asked thoughtfully, "Auntie, do you have something to ask her?" Seeing Fuduo looking at her, Chunying explained with a smile, "Mother Zhang should not be far away." It means that there is still time to catch up now.
A little girl a few years younger than herself can clearly see her thoughts, so not to mention those old-fashioned ones. Fuduo changed his mind and then asked, "Do you know if Bitao has left the house now? It's my personal maid. She didn't come to Fushouyuan last night because she saved my injury.
Chunying shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Fuduoduo couldn't help but show disappointment.
Hearing this, Chunfu, who was waiting beside him, couldn't help interrupting and said, "I know, I know, I know where that Peach is now." The voice is light and looks quite proud.
Seeing Fuduo, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart and hurriedly asked, "Where is she?" Take me there now."
"Spring Blessing!" Chunying stared unhappily, "I'm not mine. It's getting bigger and bigger. Can I claim to be like this in front of my aunt?" Seeing Chunfu so jumpy, Chunying's face sank and couldn't help saying a few words in front of Fu Duoduo, "Do you know which one is the Peach mentioned by my aunt? Don't mess with Oolong and let your aunt go for nothing.
Hearing this, Chunfu pouted unhappily and retorted, "I..." Thinking of Chun Ying's lesson, she quickly changed her words, "Of course, I know that Bitao was not the one who was injured last night? What's more, there are few people named Bitao in the house, so I won't be wrong. I heard Sister Lianqing mention her in the morning.
"Lian Qing?" Hearing this person's name, Fu Duoduo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Yes! Sister Lianqing told me that Bitao was originally arranged in the ear room next to the pulp washing room by Wenzhu, and she also asked the doctor to see the injury for her. It was just this morning that she said that someone had come to her family and wanted to pick it up. It's been these hours, and I don't know if he has left.
Where is the ear chamber? Take me there quickly." Fuduo urged urgently and was afraid of rubbing his shoulders with Bi Tao.
Chunfu looked at Chun Ying carefully and stopped talking.
Fu Duoduo said to Chunying, "Bi Tao has a life-saving grace for me". Although the words are very simple, they are very strong.
Chunying is just a maid. No matter how weak Fuduo is, she is at least an aunt. There is no reason for the maid to stop her master, and it is even more impossible for Chunying. Therefore, she told Chun Fu, "Today, the fourth aunt enters the door, and there must be noisy outside. You can take care of your aunt." After thinking about it, he said uneasuntably, "Auntie, you can also take the red plum and green chrysanthemum with you. It's okay for many people to take care of them."
