Wonderful Puppet

A Luan held a small box of red rosewood wood engraved with passionflower pattern and handed it to Zhen Miao.

"Zi Su, this is for you." Zhen Miao picked out the pair of small golden ball carved ivy earrings and handed them to Zi Su.

Shisu was a little surprised.

She also received gold ornaments as a reward from the old lady, but it is rare for a girl who has never left the cabinet to get it.

After all, Jian'anbo Mansion is not a wealthy family, nor is it a royal family.

For a girl, the moon silver is only four taels.

"Thank you girl for the reward." Zi Su took the gold earrings with both hands, her face was expressionless, but her heart was very touched.

Four girls, is a kind master.

It's just... my hands are a little looser.

Zisu felt that she would be reluctant to listen to her loyal words later.

"Aluan, Bailing, you are a pair." Zhen Miao took out two pairs of golden clover earrings.

The maidservants in the room were a little surprised. They thought they didn't take the flower hairpin and the perilla ring just now. This was specially rewarded by the girl, but they didn't expect that the two second-class ones would also have a share.

This is gold!

A Luan's face was a little moved, but he just lowered his head and whispered: "Thank you girl for the reward."

Bailing laughed happily, and said in a coquettish voice: "Thank you for the reward, the girl is beautiful and good-natured. It is a blessing for the servants to follow the girl."

Zhen Miao was stunned: "Is this a good thing?"

Bailing winked playfully: "The scenery is picturesque and pleasing to the eye. It's not a blessing for the maids to look at the girl like a painting every day."

Zhen Miao laughed: "That's right, so you also have to dress up beautifully. Let the girl look good to me."

Said and twisted the silver earrings with fingers: "These earrings are a pair of your third-class ones."

The little girls were overjoyed and split into a pair.

Queer is simple and intelligent. Seeing that the girl is happy, she wears it on the spot.

The others saw and did what they were doing.

Zhen Miao nodded with a smile, glanced at the lonely pair of twisted silver earrings in the small box, paused, and asked Zi Su, "How is Xiao Chan?"

The cheerful atmosphere in the room stagnated.

"The maid asked her to calm down in the room for a few days, and then went to the front room to watch the fire."

Cicadas are useful.If you know how to advance and retreat, understand what should be done, and what can't be inquired about as a maid, you will be a good helper for the girl in the future.

Now, it is necessary to sharpen your temperament, just to see when it will come out.If it doesn't work, keep watching the fire.

Zisu thought that Zhen Miao would be soft-hearted and would say something after hearing her arrangement, but she didn't expect that Zhen Miao just nodded and asked Ah Luan to put away the small box, signaling that the maids were all gone.

Aluan stayed.He said softly, "Girl, maid, please squeeze your shoulders."

Zhen Miao leaned back on the chair.Allowing A Luan to squeeze her shoulders, he said casually, "A Luan, you know quite a lot. Where were you from before?"

Aluan paused and said after a while, "The maid used to be a little girl in a big family, and then that family committed a crime, and our little girls were sold."

"That's it." Zhen Miao stopped talking.

Aluan took another look.She was already asleep, so she immediately took out a cloak and put it on her.Continue to squeeze.

Zhen Miao woke up, packed up and went to Zhen Yan's place.

Zhen Yan was using the dim sum, when she saw Zhen Miao come in, she hurriedly called the little girl to take a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and said angrily, "Why are you here at this time? It's hot, have you used dim sum?"

Zhen Miao let Zhen Yan wipe her sweat and said with a raised face, "Not yet, I won't come here to ask for food from the second sister."

"I don't have anything delicious here." Zhen Yan glanced at the mung bean cake on the plate and frowned.

She had a hard summer, and at noon in the mansion, there were some snacks and soups, and there were a few things every day, and she lost her appetite.

"If the fourth sister has time to spare, make some emeralds and eat them, and let me soak it up. In the future, it will be difficult to eat them again."

"It's not easy, I'll write the recipe to you later, and I can eat it whenever I want." Zhen Miao said indifferently.

Zhen Yan's face was stern: "What do I want you to do with the recipe, you should keep it well, don't let your hand be so loose, give it to anyone who wants it."

"You are not someone else, you are my sister." Zhen Miao said with a smile.

She never thought how precious a recipe is, that is, the same ingredients and recipes, different people make different tastes.

Besides, she is not going to open a restaurant or anything, just have a good time.

Seeing Zhen Miao smiling like a flower, Zhen Yan's eyes turned red unconsciously, so she hurriedly turned her head away.

Zhen Miao understood Zhen Yan's mood very well, didn't she say that women who are about to get married are a little sad and anxious, not to mention the age of blind marriages.

Uh, I feel a little bad thinking about this.

She didn't marry blindly, but the result was not as good as others!

The two sisters sat facing each other with bitter faces. Zhen Yan calmed down and pinched Zhen Miao's face, "It's also strange, you are thin like a wicker, why is there so much flesh on your face?"

Saying that, she glanced at Zhen Miao's chest worriedly.

Zhen Miao glared at Zhen Yan angrily.

She didn't even have a menarche, it's no wonder she can develop!

Zhen Yan stopped teasing her and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter with running over on a hot day?"

Zhen Miao pushed the small rosewood box over and said, "Second sister, let's talk about the wedding gift for you. When the makeup is added, my sister will just send some gadgets."

Zhen Yan opened the small box, the golden light flickered, and the red light flowed, and what she brought was dazzling.

He couldn't help but jumped: "Is this a new one from Baohua Building?"

"Second sister also knows?"

Zhen Yan pursed her lips.

Could she not know? Wen's family took her to Baohua Building to pick up jewelry a few days ago, and she had also seen the small head of this ruby ​​butterfly.

To be honest, both Wen's and her liked this set of exquisite and festive hairstyles very much, but the price of 200 taels of silver was prohibitive, so they didn't buy it in the end.

At that time, she had no regrets, a woman would marry like this once in her life, and who didn't want to dress up beautifully.

Jian'anbo Mansion is just a middle-class noble family.The money out of marrying a daughter is not much or not.

It's even more difficult for Wen's family. After buying this set, she would have to use private money to post it elsewhere. How could she bear it?

Especially when that dad is getting more and more rambunctious.

Unexpectedly, what Zhen Miao gave her was exactly what she could not see.

"It's too precious, I can't have it." Zhen Yan pushed the small box back.

"Second sister-"

Zhen Yan shook her head: "I really can't accept this. I know you got some money by chance because of the Qixi Festival, but in the future you will spend more money, and you are going to marry into the Duke's Mansion. Don't spend more money on the side. What can you do with your body. This set of honors, you just added to your dowry, and you will be decent then."

Seeing Zhen Miao's unhappy face, she lovingly touched the strands of hair that fell on her temples: "I take my sister's wishes."

Zhen Miao pursed her lips: "Second sister, my heart is much more precious than this."

Looking at Zhen Yan with a smile, her eyes are clear and her smile is pure.

There is no intrigue in the inner courtyard, no confrontation between women's words.

In her opinion, this is her direct sister, who came here.Take the initiative to give her loved ones.

Those gold and silver jewelry were indeed not what she wanted.

Zhen Yanyou understood what Zhen Miao meant.Quickly blinked to force the tears back, and said with a smile, "Okay, the second sister will accept it."

The two sisters talked for a while before Zhen Miao returned to Chen Xiangyuan.

The weather for the next two days was extraordinarily hot, and even with ice in the house, I felt dry.

Zhen Miao decided to make some ice bowls to eat.

Only this season, the house does not supply cow's milk and goat's milk.Had to send someone to buy it outside.

"Girl, I only got this small jar. It's the one that gave birth to a cow and squeezed it out now." Bailing came in with a small porcelain jar.

"Enough." Zhen Miao put the milk on the small stove to cook, and instructed Qing Ge to stir the white sugar and egg yolk.

When the heat is almost over, start making the fine milk smoothie, and when it's done, add the cut watermelon pieces.

"Bailing, divide these well, and send them to the old lady and each room in ice."

Zhen Miao wanted Wen's and Zhen Yan to have a taste, but they all lived in one place, and she would be gossiped if they didn't send it elsewhere.

I went to Hefeng Garden with the ice bowl in person, and saw the third master hurriedly entering the door.

"Father." Zhen Miao gave a polite and distant salute.

The third master looked at Zhen Miao up and down, and when he spoke, he smelled of alcohol: "What are you doing here on a hot day?"

Zhen Miaoting was angry, she rolled her eyes secretly and said, "Mother doesn't eat and sleep well these days. My daughter is afraid that she will be too bored by herself, so come to accompany her."

"Go back first, I have something to do with your mother today." The third master said with a burp of wine.

Zhen Miao turned sideways, disgust flashed in her eyes.

She really didn't understand, how did the third master become like this, just for a brothel woman?

In my memory, although the third master was not such a good man, and even a little mediocre, he was still good to Wen's.

Could it be that - people meet true love in middle age?

Zhen Miao felt like she was going to vomit.

"My daughter made an ice bowl, and I'm afraid it will melt when I take it home." After Zhen Miao finished speaking, she ignored him and walked in with her feet raised.

"Ma'am, the fourth girl is here, er, the third master is also outside." Jinping said.

"Miao'er, why are you here? Hurry up and fetch water for the fourth girl." Wen shi said and glanced outside the door, "Tell the third master that I'm asleep and let him go back."

"This—" Jinping hesitated.

If the fourth girl didn't come, it would be fine. The fourth girl told the third master that the wife had fallen asleep before going out. This is obviously not right.

It's not that she is afraid of the third master, but just seeing how the wife and the third master are so stiff, what should she do in the future?

"Why, what I said doesn't work anymore, tell him, I'm asleep!" Wen raised his voice.

"Yes." Jin Ping hurriedly walked to the door, but before he opened his mouth, the third master pushed him away: "Get out of the way, but I'll see how your wife fell asleep!"

A smell of alcohol came to me.

Wen's disgusted veil covered his nose, as if he didn't see the third master: "Miao'er, what are you talking about?"

"It's an ice bowl made by my daughter. I brought it here for you to taste." Zhen Miao said and took out the ice bowl.

The palm-sized jade glass bowl contains milky white milk smoothie with red watermelon pulp sprinkled on it, which makes the index finger move.

"It looks good." Wen shi reached out and took the ice bowl, picked up the silver spoon and scooped it into his mouth.

Just as he was about to praise, his arm hurt, and the ice bowl was swept to the ground.

The third master said in a spirited manner: "Sister Wen, do you think I am a dead person?" .)
