spring cloud warm

Chapter 5

Spring is fleeting, and the branches of the apricot tree have already produced numerous green fruits.

The flower girls in the street market already have late peach blossoms and hibiscus in their baskets.

A small sedan chair in green clothes stopped in front of the west corner gate of Hou Chengyi's mansion, and Xu Chunjun got out of the sedan chair holding the hand of Lvshi.

She was a little thinner than before, and a silk handkerchief was tucked into the skirt of her narrow, blue-colored jacket.Under the egg blue pleated skirt, the toes of the shoes with double beams and cocked toes are slightly exposed.

Ziling walked to the door and handed over the post. The gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion looked them up and down and said, "Just wait!"

Then he went in and reported.

After about a stick of incense, two maids came out of it, neither of which had been seen before.

Looking at the clothes and clothes, they should be the third-class maids in the mansion, and one of them in a green shirt said to Xu Chunjun: "Miss Xu, Madam asked us to take you in. I specially ordered you to bring only one servant."

Xu Chunjun and the others looked at each other, and in the end it was Cheng's mother who followed in.

After all, she is old, and she can discuss things when she encounters them.

Zi Ling and Lv Shu wanted to say something but they didn't say anything. The girl was cautious in everything, so there was no need for them to tell her.

It's just that I can't help but feel anxious, I don't know what the result will be.

Xu Chunjun followed the two servant girls into the mansion from the west corner gate, bypassed the screen wall, entered the second gate, passed through a stretch of buildings, and finally came to the main room.

On both sides of the steps, there are two rows of flowerpots of normal size, with flowers and plants of various colors.The flowers are beautiful, as if they will never wither.

The two women were there taking care of the branches and leaves, watering and loosening the soil. When they saw Xu Chunjun, they couldn't help but look at it curiously.

Entering the door, the Xiangzhu curtain hides the Bogu screen, and it is spotless everywhere.

The sandalwood fragrance is diluted, and it is the favorite incense for Buddhist worshipers.

Mrs. Lu is wearing a thin silk jacket in the shape of a cloud of banana moonlight today, and a grape-brown gauze skirt with two layers of mountains on her lower body.A string of jade Buddha beads is caged in his hand.

Like most aristocratic women of her age, she was slightly blessed.Lead powder and rouge were painted on the face, but they were just light makeup, not exaggerated.

Xu Chunjun took a special look at the white jade spirit sparrow hairpin on his wife's head, and felt a little more at ease.

Madam Lu gave me a seat and asked Xu Chunjun, "How are your feet doing now?"

Xu Chunjun leaned back and replied: "Thank you Madam for asking, it's all right now."

She answered calmly now, but in fact she dared not go to the ground until she had suffered from a foot injury for nearly half a month.Now he has not recovered yet, but because he is anxious to save others, he came to see Mrs. Hou Ye as soon as possible.

Fortunately, she is inherently strong, if it were someone else, she might not be able to get off the ground for a month.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Chunjun said, "Chunjun came today to ask Madam what is the second thing I want to do?"

Madam Lu looked at her, smiled inexplicably, and said, "I'm planning to hold a banquet in the next few days, but the mansion is not enough, so I want you to help with the cooking."

"The banquet in the Hou Mansion is a big event, but I don't know what to do specifically?" When Xu Chunjun was at home, he didn't participate too much in these things, because the third aunt Xu Lang took care of everything.

What's more, in order to avoid suspicion in front of her aunt, she doesn't steal the limelight everywhere, so she has little experience.

"Don't worry, I won't give you too difficult tasks," Madam Lu said with a slight smile, "Mama Ye and the others will do things like ordering recipes and arranging seats. You just need to help wash the vegetables, serve the dishes, and clean up the leftovers Just do it."

Cheng's mother who was behind Xu Chunjun couldn't help crying in her heart. Listening to Mrs. Lu's intentions, it was obvious that she wanted the fifth girl to come to his house as a servant, and she was doing the most humble job, which was too humiliating.

To be honest, the first thing Mrs. Lu explained was enough to make people overwhelmed, and the second thing was even worse.

Mother Cheng is very suspicious now that Mrs. Lu doesn't really want to help the Xu family at all, but just takes advantage of this opportunity to have fun with Xu Chunjun.

At that time, they might not be able to eat the fish, and they would get fishy all over - not only failed to save the second young master, but also suffered humiliation in vain.

At this time, she was anxious, but she couldn't act rashly, because she was never allowed to speak alone on such an occasion.

"Of course, you can refuse. Between the two of us, it's all based on one wish and one wish." Madam Lu said while looking at the newly worn gem ring on her hand, "Mr. Jiang is fishing, and the wisher will be hooked. I didn't force you to."

"If Madam doesn't think Mr. Chun is clumsy, so what's the problem?" Xu Chunjun said in a gentle and gentle manner, "I don't know when, I will be ready."

"Since you've come, there's no need to make any trouble. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day, let's do it today. Tell everyone who follows you to go back and wait. It's enough for you to stay alone." Madam Lu raised her hand and pressed According to the Diancui comb on his head: "The banquet is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. You should familiarize yourself with the situation in the mansion in the past few days and help them with the work at hand."

Judging by the tone, it seems that Xu Chunjun has been ordered by the current person.

"Excuse me, madam, after the banquet is over, will this second matter be considered over?" Xu Chunjun asked.

"Yes, but the premise is that you must do your job well and don't shed a single tear." Mrs. Lu looked directly at Xu Chunjun without a trace of a smile on her face: "Otherwise, the agreement between the two of us will be terminated, and you don't want to let it go!" I will save your second brother."

After speaking, he got up and went to the inner room, leaving Xu Chunjun outside.

"Fifth Miss, I don't worry about leaving you here alone. Or let's forget it and try another way, maybe it will be more enjoyable than this." Cheng's mother whispered to Xu Chunjun.

"Mum, don't worry. I can stay here alone. It's fine." Xu Chunjun reassured her: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. At this point, you must not retreat. Go back at ease! It will only take three to five days in total." Kung fu, I can hold on."

"Girl, this lady is too capable of making things difficult for others." Although Xu Chunjun repeatedly assured that he would be fine, Cheng's mother was really upset.

"I'm not afraid that she will make things difficult for me, as long as she is willing to tell me what to do." Xu Chunjun didn't feel any embarrassment: "You go back and wait for me!"

Mother Cheng wanted to say something more, but seeing the impatience of the servant girl in the Hou Mansion who stayed outside, she stopped talking.

As soon as Cheng's mother went out, the servant girl said to Xu Chunjun, "Come with me to the backyard. First go to the warehouse to pick up the luggage, and then I will tell you what to do."

"Thank you, sister." Xu Chunjun seemed to not see the maidservant's look of disdain, and said politely: "I don't understand something, please help me."

The servant girl snorted in response and took Xu Chunjun to the backyard.
