green bamboo dream

After measuring the size, the three retreated respectfully.

Shuanghong happily tugged at her skirt, and ran to the table to eat some pastries. The delicate pastries were made into exquisite peach blossom patterns, and even the colors were from deep to light pink, which was extremely attractive.

"Sister Ning, come and eat too. This dessert is so beautiful that I can't bear to bite it." Shuanghong cheerfully brought the plate to Ning Qiu like a baby swallow out of its nest.

"You've just eaten, and you're hungry for snacks again?" Ning Qiu pushed the plate towards her with a light smile.

After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Ah Hong, are you still listening to me?"

Shuang Hong's mouth was stuffed, she became anxious when she heard this, she quickly drank a mouthful of tea, swallowed the pastry in her mouth with great effort, pulled Ning Qiu's hand and said anxiously: "Sister Ning, don't scare Ah Hong! ... Ah Hong listens to what my sister says."

"Well, now I have a few words to ask you, you must remember." Ning Qiu pulled Shuanghong to sit next to him, with a serious face on his face, "This is not the north, but you can't It’s as casual as before...you have to be cautious about what you say, it’s best to talk less, and you have to learn the rules quickly.”

Shuanghong didn't understand, she frowned and asked, "Sister, why are you being so careful, the second wife is a wife, and all the maids and women in the yard are afraid of her... We were brought in by the second wife, who would dare Talk too much."

Ning Qiu saw that she showed some original savagery, and couldn't help but feel a little headache, "There is an old lady above the second wife..."

She put her hands on Shuanghong's shoulders, stared into her eyes and said, "It's only been a few days, Ah Hong, have you forgotten how we used to live? If no one picks us up, we can't do anything even if we save our entire life Live a life like this... not to mention repayment, but not to cause trouble to others."

The red eyes blinked, a little unhappy, "You scratched me."

After Ning Qiu let go, she stepped forward and hugged her arm again, and said with a smile, "Sister Ning, don't worry, as long as you don't leave me behind, Ah Hong will listen to you in everything."

Being hugged by her like this, Ning Qiu suddenly remembered that a few days ago, a group of well-dressed soldiers with haughty faces came to the Si family where they joined later. At the corner, he was dazed, and somehow noticed a pair of leather boots in front of him.

Looking up, he saw a smiling face.

"Miss Ning Qiu, please follow me back to Beijing."

She didn't know why all the soldiers who were arrogant and arrogant just now were all respectful at this moment, and she didn't care about the expressions of those mean and vicious people in the Si family at the moment. What woke her up was the faint pain in her hand——

Shuanghong hugged her arm tightly, weeping with tears, sobbing: "Sister Ning, don't leave me... Ah Hong is the most obedient, and I will listen to you in everything."

……

Sighing softly, Ning Qiu stretched out his other hand and patted Shuanghong's back, forcing a smile, "Mrs. Wu and I have a kindness, and Ah Hong is so obedient, I will never leave you behind." .”

Shuanghong immediately felt relieved, threw a piece of pastry into her mouth, and excitedly looked at the various decorations in the wing room, as if she was very interested in a sachet on the four corners of the bed, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed to untie it. Look down.

Ning Qiu hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't explain..." Seeing that the smile on the corners of the red lips slowly froze, she quickly changed the topic with a smile, "It's so easy to settle down, let's sleep for a while, I'll make the bed for you OK."

"...Alright then." Shuanghong sat on the bed listlessly, and let Ning Qiu undress her, "I don't need my sister to do these chores in the future, there are so many maids in the yard, let the wife reward two of them... Seeing that my sister's hands are cracked, let's take a good rest in the future, the hard days are finally over."

"By the way... I used to hear that the fourth grandma of the second room used milk to soak her hands, so that her hands were white and tender. The fourth young master likes it the most..." Her big eyes looked at Ning Qiu, "We also Try it."

Ning Qiu's face sank, she bit her lip but didn't speak.

Shuanghong keenly sensed that something was wrong, quickly put away her smile, and said, "The fourth young master also wants to send..."

"Ahong"

"Okay, I know I was wrong, why don't I mention it any more?" Seeing that Ning Qiu was really angry, Shuang Hong stopped her mouth in embarrassment, not daring to say more.

When the room returned to calm, Ning Qiu put down the tent, curled up in the corner of the kang, and was lost in thought...

In a blink of an eye, it became warmer.

The winter plums are fading day by day, leaving only a few broken petals, but the willows by the river bridge have sprouted light green shoots. Looking from a distance, the soft thin strips, which seem to be covered with a layer of blue and yellow tulle, are slightly Gently swaying in the soft spring breeze, people's hearts are also softened.

Yu Zhu yawned lazily, and silently thought that this is Chun Jun. Chun Jun threw the pen in his hand on the table, admiring the graffiti he just made——

In fact, the painting is grapes, and it is a bunch of huge grapes, with a pig lying beside it, which is not as tall as the grapes.

Hua Ruo glanced at it with some pity, the purple was a high-quality rouge purple, just like this was used by his wife to color such an ugly bunch of grapes...

"Hey, Hua Ruo, what's that expression on your face?" Yu Zhu saw the pity in Hua Ruo's eyes at a glance, felt deeply dissatisfied, and said righteously: "This is called cultivating sentiment..."

After being complacent for three months, Mama Ruan's control over her became much less. Yu Zhule was relaxed, but she also restrained her temper, not daring to be too unrestrained, and only raised fish every day, with Qin Si and the others. Doing needlework, thinking about making some beautiful and comfortable children's clothes.

Suddenly, a little maid said: "There are wedding invitations from the Lin family." Counting the days, it was already the beginning of March, and the wedding invitations for Yuju's marriage should have been formally delivered.

"Bring it in." Yu Zhu called the little maid to come in, looked at the wedding invitation and put it on the kang table, and asked, "Did the old lady receive it?"

The little maid smiled and said, "I sent it early, the old lady asked you to go there."

Yu Zhu hurriedly got up and went to Mrs. Xie.

Beside Mrs. Xie was also the red and gold wedding invitation, and when she saw Yuzhu coming, she told her about the happy event of the Qi family, "All these happy events have been gathered together... The sixth lady of the Qi family will have a good day in March [-]th, almost a few days away."

Duke of Qi's mansion?Yu Zhu nodded and smiled coquettishly, "Mother will take me to relatives then."

Mrs. Xie pulled Yuzhu to the edge of the kang and sat down, with a gentle expression, "...you have just sat down firmly, so you should be careful, and don't get tired when you go to see your sister."

Yu Zhu touched her stomach quietly, and hummed in her heart, "Little thing, your grandma loves you... But in the future, you should be the most filial to your mother, there is only a mother in the world..."

Taking advantage of the warm and sunny day, Yuzhu went out happily.

Mrs. Cui got the letter early, so she decided to add the box on this day.

Sifang has moved into a new house, and the place where he lives now is two streets away from Deyuan. Although it is less bustling and lively, it is quite quiet. There are few pedestrians on the street at the front door, and there is a large lush forest behind. , is a good place to take a break from the hustle and bustle...

It was the first time for Yuzhu and Cui Shi to come here, and they were all amazed when they looked around.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and her face couldn't help showing a bit of color, "...It's also luck. The previous owner is Mr. Xiong, who is a reviewer of the Imperial Academy. His son offended someone, and it will cost a lot of money to manage this house. It's cheaper for us."

Yuzhu noticed that she said "a lot of money", and thought of the maids and women who were very well-behaved all the way in, thinking that life in Zhao's is really good.

"It's really very lucky." Cui smiled and asked the maid who followed her to hand over the emerald and hibiscus pattern heavy flower vase for Yuju, and continued, "It's not that I want to come to the door today, I'm afraid you won't call We know we've moved to a new house, so we're afraid that we won't be able to make money with you?"

Mrs. Zhao asked the mother next to her to take the vase with a smile, and led the two of them to rest in the living room, "Seeing what my sister-in-law thought, it didn't take long to move here. There were a lot of things going on inside and outside the house, so I didn't have time."

While speaking, a servant girl came to serve tea, Yu Zhu didn't pay attention at first, but when it was delivered to her, she realized that it was Aunt Fang

I saw that she was wearing a pair of blue satin and pinched flowers, and a dark five-bat holding birthday hairpin on her head. She was rustic and awkward. Wooden, as if ten years old.

Surprised, he didn't expect to pick up that cup of tea for a moment.

"You can't even do a maid's job well, so how can you serve the master?" Mrs. Zhao's complexion darkened, and she waved her hands impatiently, "Who can bear to watch with that face all day long? It's going to be a good day for Sister Ju soon. Anyway, it crawled out of your intestines anyway, not happy at all, really bad luck..."

It's like scolding as much as you want.

Aunt Fang didn't say much, and was quickly pulled back by her mother-in-law.

Seeing Aunt Fang being pulled out without any resistance, Cui frowned and said with a smile: "Why did you pick it up again? Put it on Zhuangzi so as not to look angry."

"I'm only angry if I put her on the Zhuangzi." Zhao said nonchalantly, "Besides, it's always good to think about it. If you just throw her in the Zhuangzi like this, and she will be offered to eat and drink all day long, the master will still be fine. God thinks of her well..."

"It's too cost-effective. I always remember when she dared to scheme against Brother Ming."

Mrs. Zhao was closer to Mrs. Cui, and didn't shy away from it. She simply told her, "Brother Xiao was harmed by self-defeating... After I brought her back, I saw that the child was really pitiful, so I put Brother Xiao in her room." After raising her for a few days, she didn't think about it, Brother Xiao didn't take care of her properly, and she went crazy instead."

"When I saw Brother Xiao, he was beating or scolding. When he saw me, Brother Ming rushed to him and shouted 'Brother Xiao'. It's funny, don't you think?"

Yu Zhu silently wiped off his sweat, it was really cruel, Aunt Fang had lifted a rock and hit her own foot, the good child was half-foolishly frightened, she must have regretted it in her heart.

Mrs. Zhao also put the child in front of her every day, and let her watch it all the time. The torment... Just thinking about it makes people shudder. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
