Chapter 29 Some people are loyal and some people are confused
The person who followed the scenery to the horse farm today was at dusk in spring, because Qiu Yue pulled Qiu Shuang God and secretly told him in the early morning. One of the two maids was ready to provoke and make trouble, and the other took time to pull Xia Yun to chat and give the final warm reminder.
Coincidentally, cherry and winter rain were on duty in the house this morning. Xia Yun was preparing to go to the "helper" and happened to meet the autumn frost in the porch.
"Wuniang told me to pick round, bright and same-sized beads, and my sister came to help me." Qiu Shuang couldn't help pulling Xia Yun and went to the house where he lived.
With less than a cup of tea, Xia Yun was already absent-minded and looked out of the door several times. Obviously, Cao Ying was in Han, and Qiu Shuang couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that she was really determined to please Dongyu's family.
"What did my sister plan to ask about Mr. Song that day?"
Qiu Shuang's sudden inquiry shocked Xia Yun. He almost overturned the sandalwood box with pearls in his hand and shook his head like a rattle: "I don't have any plans. I'm just curious. I heard the maids talk that Chunmu refused Mother Song's marriage proposal. Such a good marriage... Really I feel sorry for her."
"Actually, it's not like on the surface." Seeing that Xia Yun still didn't want to say his sincerity, Qiu Shuang's heart was cold, but he still fulfilled the master's responsibilities.
"What does this mean?" Xia Yun immediately asked, showing his unbearable concern.
Obviously, it has gone far beyond curiosity.
Qiu Shuang seemed to be a little careless and moved the rice-sized pearl with his fingertips: "If there is such a good thing, how can it be our turn? I don't know whether Mother Song's nephew is golden jade, but there is a certain failure. Not to mention drunkenness and bullying, his temperament is also very violent. According to It is said that there are no more than ten maidservants who died in his hands.
She raised her eyelids slightly and saw that Xia Yun's face was very pale. Qiu Shuang sighed again: "If it hadn't been for the reputation in Ninghai, Mother Song would not have made an idea on Chunmu... The old mother learned these secrets that she refused Mother Song. She didn't expect that Mami would not reach her goal. She was still He brazenly begged the old lady, and still wanted to deceive the old lady and force her to enter the tiger's den. Thanks to the old lady, she also knew the inside story and was in charge of the spring and evening.
After saying this, Qiu Shuang didn't say much. She only focused on picking up the beads, but the afterglow of the corners of her eyes still aimed at Xia Yun from time to time. Seeing her sitting in the warm morning sun, her face was blue and purple for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Does it know that Song Er is a hell, but she still wants to go to hell without hesitation? Qiu Shuang frowned slightly.
After a while, I actually heard Xia Yun say, "If not, how can you choose among the slaves?"
Xia Yun sighed softly, even with some sense of happiness.
Qiushuang is helpless and too lazy to persuade again.
The two picked out dozens of pearls, and Xia Yun couldn't wait to leave. Seeing her go to the Wuniang's room in a hurry, she was obviously rushing to pay attention to Dongyu, and Qiu Shuang shook her head.
Sure enough, as Wu Niang expected, the maid had big eyes and was bent on picking high branches to live in, but she didn't care about anything.
In Xia Yun's mind, all the children of rich and noble background are a little dungry, and promiscuous are really not any shortcomings. As for bullying, since the national law can tolerate it, it is not a big mistake, only the violent temperament is more scary... But only If you want to be gentle, you may not be beaten or scolded. Besides, after all, it is a rumor, not necessarily the truth.
Even if it's true...
After all, with Mother Song as her support, she is not as good as those ordinary maidservants. How can things in the world be perfect?
I don't want to, but many people are eager to look at it, especially a helpless lonely ghost like myself.
Knowing Song Er's "shortcomings", Xia Yun became down-to-earth. He thought that even if he was not as good as spring and evening, he was not qualified to be the official wife, but he was really not a high-climbing as a concubine. After all, with the reputation of Song Er, of course, the ladies of famous families would not marry, and the future mother-in-law would also have a high background. If you don't go anywhere, after all, you are a maid from the Duke's mansion, and you may not be pinched by others.
If you have a good life and give birth to a son, you will be reliable for life.
It's ten times better than being a slave!
Of course, if you can be the wife, it will be more complete.
Xia Yun only felt that the dawn of hope was in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but get excited. When she entered the room, she saw that the cherry and Dongyu were busy sweeping, she hurried to grab a helper, and walked away from Dongyu's side. She was full of sweet words. In her ten years of life, I have never had such a brilliant lotus.
Even the cherry, who had been working silently, couldn't help but suspect and looked at the reborn Xia Yun frequently.
Dongyu has been smiling and maintaining modesty, and also praised a few words of plum blossoms embroidered on Xia Yun's skirt, which made Xia Yun breathe more and promised to embroider square silk for Dongyu.
The three worked together and cleaned several rooms in half an hour. Cherry and Dongyu went out with a broom in a basin. Xia Yun began her business - to pick up Wu Niang's clothes and rings, and these things have always been taken care of by her.
After finishing his work, Xia Yun went out of the corner door of the bedroom, sat in the porch facing the back/court, looked at the purple iris under the sun, turned over the taste of Dongyu's praise just now, measured his chances of winning, and racked his brains to think about how to express his chest and let Dongyu I am clear about my purpose.
In the end, she still lacked some courage. She said so many good words, but she was familiar with Dongyu, but she didn't get a word of accuracy in the end.
It can't be so tem, but how to explain it?
Xia Yun felt that Jin Yang was dazzling and impetuous, as if he had a fierce weight, which made her breathless.
Suddenly heard the sound of the autumn moon coming from behind——
"Who touched my pineapple cake!"
Xia Yun looked back and saw Qiu Yue standing in front of the door of the tea hall, with one hand on the cherry red silk ribbon around her waist and holding an empty purple glazed dish in the other. The two willow eyebrows were straight up, a pair of apricot eyes staring slightly and staring at herself angrily.
Xia Yun suddenly looked puzzled.
"Wuniang saw my favorite pineapple cake in the morning and left half a plate for me. Because I was not hungry at that time, I put it on the case in the tea room. At this time, I felt hungry and was about to fill it in. Unexpectedly, it became an empty plate, and there was no residue left." Qiu Yue's expression was clearly determined that Xia Yun "eat secretly".
"You think it's me..." Xia Yun couldn't sit still and stood up and explained repeatedly: "Autumn Moon, don't get me wrong."
"There are only a few people who can enter the room." Qiu Yue was unremitable. She still held a glazed plate in her hand. She turned around and pointed to the cherry and Dongyu who had just returned to the house and asked, "You two are on duty today. Have you ever stolen your mouth?"
Winter Rain and Cherry looked at each other and shook their heads subconsciously.
"We cleaned the tea room together. We saw such a plate of pastries on the table, but we didn't move." Dongyu frowned slightly, suspecting that Qiu Yue was looking for an opportunity to make trouble. He was unhappy to find her and quickly pulled a handful of cherries: "Sister, can you see me move the pastry under the veil?"
Cherry realistically testified for the winter rain and chose herself by the way.
"The two of them just left the house together, but you are the only one left, Xia Yun?" Qiu Yue raised her eyebrows, took a step closer, handed the empty plate to Xia Yun, and said in a loud voice, "If it weren't for you, could this cake have wings and fly by itself?"
Xia Yun is a kind person. At this time, he can't help blushing and said with grievances: "Am I the greedy person? Do you have to steal what your master gives you? It's clear that you are unreasonable, and I don't bother to pay attention to you." He was about to turn around and leave.
"Hight! I want to leave without making it clear. Isn't it that I'm guilty? Sister Chunmu is not here, and Qiu Shuang hasn't entered the house. Isn't there only three of you in the room? It's not cherry or winter rain, who else is there? Although a plate of pastry is nothing, this sneaky behavior is not good. Fortunately, you are still in charge of Wu Niang's clothes and jewelry.
This was really unpleasant, and Xia Yun suddenly blushed: "You have a basis for what you say..."
"This really has to be a good talk, but will it be wrong for me to be a good person? Or do you mean that Cherry and Dongyu collusion, not only stealing food, but also colluding to plant you?
Xia Yun is not a fang-tooth person, and he became even more flustered when he heard this: "How have I ever said that? Don't be involved with me."
"This is strange. A good plate of pineapple cake, and the two maids saw it covered with gauze with their own eyes, and they could disappear out of thin air? As soon as I came in, I saw you sitting outside. If it weren't for you, I would have seen a ghost!"
Qiu Yue pestered Xia Yun and criticized him repeatedly. She had to admit that of course, Xia Yun refused, and she was afraid that Dongyu would also misunderstand. In addition to being unable to distinguish it, she also had a little annoyed. She pushed Qiu Yue, and saw that the contradiction was about to be stimulated, or Qiaohui, who accompanied Ba Niang in the room, heard the sound and came out to pull away the two maids: " What's the matter? It's not a big deal. They are all sisters who serve the same master, but they can't hurt their hands and feet. Ba Niang didn't sleep well last night and is still resting at this time. Don't disturb the master.
Qiu Yue just gave up, took a look at Xia Yun, and left a sentence with hatred: "Just think of it as being taken away by a dog!"
I turned around angrily and walked through the teahouse and out of the hall. Then I couldn't help touching my lower abdomen and muttered to myself with a bitter face: "Master, master, in order to play this scene, I personally demoted myself to a dog's stomach..."
Xia Yun was confused and felt very wronged. He pulled Dongyu and complained repeatedly: "I can't tell you about this. I haven't seen any pineapple cake on that plate. My sister must believe me."
Dongyu was also puzzled. He didn't know what tricks Qiu Yue was playing, and comforted Xia Yun: "I don't know my sister's temperament yet? It's not that I'm suspicious of what Qiu Yue said... But it's not that I'm suspicious of her, but the fact is strange. There is only one possibility that no one touches the pastry, that is, Qiu Yue is looking for her sister.
Xia Yun was very confused. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a veil. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Qiuyue and Wu Niang have been close in the past, and they are a few years younger than me. If there is anything, I won't argue with her. How can I offend her..." His heart suddenly moved and he couldn't help thinking: "Just earlier, Listening to her talk with Qiu Shuang about the second son of Song, she said..." After hesitating and thinking of her own future, Xia Yun was heart: "The two sisters talked about the mother's not very well. They knew that the second son of Song's temperament, and they also wanted to coax Chunmu and force her to marry... Mourning is not such a person. I can't hear it, just I argued with them for a few words.
After saying that, Xia Yun stared straight at Dongyu. Seeing that her reserved smile finally had some comfort, her heart suddenly beat like a drum, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "The Qiu Shuang sisters are getting better with Chunmu, and naturally help her. My sister listened to it as soon as she heard it. Don't pay attention to this matter, let alone let it be known to her, so that she won's old People are on fire."
No wonder Qiu Yue and Qiu Shuang didn't pay much attention to this courtyard. They hugged them together. Dongyu was angry, but his face was only wronged and sorry. He took the initiative to take Xia Yun's hand: "It turns out that my sister offended Qiu Yue because of this. I must remember my sister's feelings in my heart... ... Originally, my grandmother valued Chunmu because she was virtuous and steady. She expected that she could restrain her cousin's temperament more after marrying her cousin. In other words, my cousin was young and ignorant, so he had a bad reputation. In fact, his heart was not bad, but he was a little impatient, but Chunmu had concerns, which was also common.
Xia Yun felt the "sincerity" of Dongyu, and suddenly her heart was in full bloom. She threw Qiu Yue's provocative grievances and embarrassment. She couldn't wait to cut out her heart and show it to Dongyu: "Mr. Song's second son's things are nothing, but her parents are all there, and she has Wu Niang's trust, and she is also big-hearted. Yes, I only waste my Mother's heart... How many people want to be blessed by Mother, but they don't have the ability and blessing.
Holding Dongyu's hand tightly, Xia Yun was full of urgency, but he only received a few words of gratitude from Dongyu, which was far from meeting her expectations, so he once again raised his heart and finally made clear the topic: "If I have half of the blessings of spring and evening, don't say that I will marry an official as a wife, even if I become a concubine, in this life You should remember Mother's kindness.
As soon as this came out, Xia Yun's heart also hung in his throat. It was not until he saw the gentle smile of Dongyu that it fell to reality again.
-----------------------
Xia Yun pulled the winter rain in this box to express his determination. Qiu Yue also looked for the cherry in a fire. He shook his hand was a silver ingot, and threw out the ** of Jin and so on. He said a way to put the blame. He wanted the cherry to take action, rectify Xia Yun, and coerced Xia Yun well.
When Yijing returned to Luqingyuan, Qiuyue couldn't wait to recover her life and lowered her voice and said about the cherry's reaction: "When the maid said that she would be a first-class maid, the cherry's eyes lit up, but as soon as she heard that she was going to plant Xia Yun, she refused and even said that the maidservant."
Which one asked, "What did she say?"
Qiu Yue cleared her throat and learned from Cherry's righteous appearance: "Go quickly. I haven't heard this. Everyone is on duty in the same place. They don't talk about sisters, but there is no deep hatred. Even if there is a festival, you shouldn't do such sneaky things to harm people. I know you have such a fight today. Well, if Xia Yun really suffers from this in the future, he will definitely say it in a fair way. I advise you to give up this idea, so as not to steal chickens and eat rice.
Not only rejected Qiu Yue, but even threatened her to be fair. It seemed that Cherry was indeed a little interesting. When she thought so, she was also very happy - she finally picked the person, and of course, she hoped that she would be the same.
Cherry and Xia Yun have a mediocre relationship. Maybe they refuse to induce profit and even hesitate to offend Qiu Yue. It shows that they are not a person with ghosts in their hearts. Those who are upright in nature are naturally much less likely to betray their masters than those who forget righteousness. Of course, as masters, they also need to be kind to others. In order to obtain complete loyalty to others, they must be full. Only with her certain interests can she establish a stable friendship.
There is a saying that Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, a word of sincerity, was originally mutual, and the scene was deeply regarded.
Qiu Yue said again, "The maidservant also understood your intention at this time. Wu Niang's work is not to attack Xia Yun, but to test the cherry, right?"
"Do you understand? At this time, I'm finally relieved. Although I don't like Xia Yun, I won't hurt her.
However, she was afraid that Xia Yun would choose a road of no return. Thinking of Qiu Shuang talking about Xia Yun's reaction after listening to Song Erde, Qiu Yue was depressed. That's all. She did everything she had to do. Some people were obsessed with it, and she couldn't help it.
"Call Cherry. If there is, I will ask her face to face." Ying said again.
Cherry was originally on standby outside, so Qiu Yue only lifted the curtain and called, but she did not enter the east room again. Instead, she even sent away the winter rain and sat in the front porch of the hall to prevent the maids from approaching.
Apart from Dongyu's doubts, Cherry's heart is still a little nervous. After all, Qiuyue's status is there, and she has just offended her. There is no guarantee that she will not make trouble in front of Wu Niang, but on second thought, what she did was originally right. She tried her best to have a clear conscience, and tried her best to argue. In the past, she looked at Wu Niang. , it's not that person who listens to biasedness and doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. So he entered steadily, obeyed a blessing, and waited quietly for Wu Niang to ask questions.
Beautiful scenery leaned on the beauty's couch, looking at the cherry's generous fall, and praised it in her heart. What she said was a little harsh: "Do you know why I asked you to come forward?"
Cherry's heart was stunned: "I don't know."
"Qiuyue went to find you today and asked you to deal with Xia Yun. It was my instructions." Indifferently, the scenery only paid attention to the expression of cherry.
"servant..." I never thought that Wu Niang would say so. Be prepared, but Cherry still couldn't help panicking and thinking about Wu Niang's intention. Why did she have to deal with Xia Yun by herself? Do you want to reuse yourself? But such sneaky behavior, planting and traps, I really disdain it.
With her heart crossed, Cherry knelt on the ground: "I have the courage to persuade."
Yi Jing raised her eyebrows, suppressed the appreciation from the bottom of her heart, and said coldly, "As a slave, you should only follow orders, but you talk a lot."
"Wuniang forgives the crime, and the maidservant doesn't know where Xia Yun is wrong and should be punished, but Wu Niang is the master of Lvqingyuan. Even if you are punished, you have to be punished in the bright place, so that people can't be convinced, and you shouldn't... You shouldn't do anything wrong. If you start with this, there will be conflicts between the servants in the future, and you can't say that you will be trapped with each other. After climbing together, won't the rules of the government become a piece of paper? The loyal people were punished and wronged, but those evil outsiders were rampant and spread. Others also met with Wu Niang. You don't know how to restrain the servants. This is the simple view of the slave maidservant, but it is also the heart of the slave maidservant. I hope you can think about it. Despite the panic, the cherry always has its own measurement.
Wuniang knows books and etiquette, and should not distinguish between right and wrong. She specially told Qiu Yue and seduced herself to frame Xia Yun. There is no doubt that she has the intention to help herself. The master valued it, which was originally a blessing of slaves and maidservants, and should be grateful. Because of this, she should not flatter herself. Even if the master blames herself for not knowing the praise, You have to persuade him to take care of Wu Niang.
After kneeling on the ground and saying those words, Cherry sighed gently and did her part horizontally and vertically. As for the result, it was beyond her control.
But it is enough to ask for a clear conscience.
