The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 18

The next morning was the day when Mr. Xie was buried. Since the fifth watch, the chanting and suona outside have not stopped.Because she will be busy all day today, Mrs. Xu asked her and Xu Yuxing to go back to their rooms to rest early last night.

Xie Yujiao's biological clock finally kept up with the rhythm of the ancients, waking up before dawn.The servant girl had already prepared the filial piety clothes she was going to wear today, fetched water and came in to help Xie Yujiao wash up. Xie Yujiao opened the window and saw that the gardenias outside had already bloomed, and the branches were covered with snow-white balls, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted into the room. Come here.

I only heard the magpie say: "When my cousin girl was here before, how could I wait for this flower to bloom? She had already cut it and sent it to the girl's room."

I heard that when Xu Huiru was here, the two of them lived upstairs and downstairs, so the relationship between the two must have been very good. In the previous life, Xie Yujiao had no cousins, but she had some expectations for this cousin who had never been masked.

At this time, the faint sounds of suona and gongs and drums came from the Xikua courtyard. Xie Yujiao sat in front of the dressing table, and the magpie came over to comb her hair. Over there, Ziyan cut a gardenia flower from the outside and came in. Handing it to Magpie's hand, he said, "Bring this to the girl, otherwise it will be naked, so it won't look good."

Now that she is guarding the hot filial piety, Xie Yujiao usually only carries the white silk flowers sent by Mrs. Xu, but they are dead things, and the girl must not like them. Just let them go.

The gardenia hadn't bloomed yet, and the budding hairpin on the bun made Xie Yu's delicate muscles look fat and bright.

"The girl is so pretty. If you really use that milk to wash your face, your face will be white. I see that the girl is even whiter than before. Her skin is like an egg with its shell removed."

Xie Yujiao took a look inside the not-so-clear bronze mirror in front of her. In fact, her appearance didn't change much. Why didn't she look so good in her previous life?It must be because of the golden and jade-like appearance in this life. In the previous life, I suffered too much when I was a child, and I can't grow up to have the kindness in this life.

"Okay, don't brag. No matter how good a girl's skin is, it grows on her body. Even if you take a bath with milk, you can't raise such a good skin." Ziyan said, only opened her mouth and said: " Someone came from the wife's side and asked the girl if she was okay."

Hearing what Ziyan said, Magpie just glared at her bitterly, and Ziyan only remembered for a moment that Magpie would be her sister-in-law in the future, so she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, good sister-in-law, I said the wrong thing , don't hit me, no matter what, you must be the prettiest in my brother's eyes!"

Xie Yujiao was laughed at by the two of them, and the magpie refused to let go, chasing Ziyan and yelling to beat her.Xie Yujiao stood up and straightened her clothes by herself.Seeing that Xie Yujiao was doing it herself, the two reconciled, came up together with a smile, and put on Xie Yujiao's filial piety.

Xie Yujiao couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heavy filial piety.

When walking to Xikuayuan, Mrs. Xu and the aunts also arrived. They all paid homage in front of Mr. Xie's coffin. Xie Yujiao held the coffin. Sixteen grown men lifted Mr. Xie's coffin and went to Xie's house in Yinlong Mountain. ancestral grave.

It is rare that today is a good day, the mud on the ground is dry, and the journey is quite smooth. After leaving Xie's mansion, we took the road built by Mr. Xie, which does not lead to the village, but all the men, women and children in the village are also at the entrance of the village. Kowtowed to Master Xie.There are also some old people and children secretly wiping tears.

Xie Yujiao didn't feel very sad at first, maybe it was because her father left early in her previous life, and it was hard to move this kind of sad emotion, but seeing those people who spontaneously came to pay homage to Master Xie, Xie Yujiao couldn't help but shed tears.

Out of the village entrance, there should be a spacious country road. Along the way, friends in front of Mr. Xie set up a sacrificial shed for road sacrifices. Xie Yujiao had already asked Housekeeper Tao for the people who built the road sacrificial shed a few days ago. After packing the red envelope, let the maid take it with her, pay homage and thank you all the way.

When approaching the Yinlong Mountain Pass, he saw a large road sacrificial shed far away at the Sanchakou. Tao Laixi said it belonged to the He family.The He family is almost as famous as the Xie family in Jiangning County, but the ancestors are better than the Xie family, and the business has reached the city. Now the whole family lives in the house in the city, and they rarely come back to their hometown in Jiangning.

He Xie and his family were originally in-laws, so they should have walked around more, but later I heard that Mr. Xie was reluctant to marry Xie Yujiao, so the two families separated because of this matter.Xie Yujiao didn't know about these old things, she only knew that it was her grandmother's natal family.

There are also four or five miles to walk this way. Although I left early in the morning, the stop and go in the middle of it has delayed a lot of time. It will be noon now.Fortunately, Xie Yujiao came out with a full meal in the morning, otherwise she would really not be able to hold on.Even so, her originally fair cheeks had already been slightly reddened by the sun, and there were a few beads of sweat on her forehead.

The servant girl was about to welcome Xie Yujiao into the sacrificial shed to rest her feet, but she saw a man of seventeen or eighteen years old coming out of it, and greeted Xie Yujiao and Xu. Sweeping back and forth on his face.

"My nephew greets my aunt, and my cousin."

Seeing his restless eyeballs, Xie Yujiao wanted to kill him, but she thought that such a person would look like a rascal, and if he looked at him, she might be more embarrassing, so she just stood coldly. The vertical eyebrows, just pretend not to hear.

But Mrs. Xu didn't see his little moves, and thanked him when she saw him coming out to welcome him, and then stayed in their shed for a long time.Xie Yujiao found a secluded place and sat down. The magpie went out and poured tea for her. Before the tea was poured in, a little maid from the He family brought the tea over and said, "Girl, this is my son." Let the servants bring tea to the girl."

The little maid looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked very handsome. Although she spoke kindly, her eyes were not so friendly.Xie Yujiao smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, my lord, but I'm not used to drinking tea outside, so you should send it back."

The little maid was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then her face turned red, thinking that Xie Yujiao had humiliated her, she didn't even reply, turned around and left with the teacup.

When the magpie came in, he happened to see the servant girl going out with a cup of tea in her hand, so she couldn't help asking, "Miss, have you had your tea yet? I'll pour you another cup."

Xie Yujiao took the tea offered by the magpie, took a sip and said, "My own tea is more comfortable to drink. I'm not the kind of person who depends on people's faces when drinking a cup of tea."

That little maid is the most respectable maid around He Wenhai, her name is Cui Xing, and she has already been a housekeeper, because someone from the He family said that now Master Xie has gone, and the Xie family has left such a large fortune. , presumably Xie Yujiao's dowry must be extraordinary, so she thought about waiting for two years before inviting a matchmaker to propose marriage and let Xie Yujiao marry to the He family.

Since Xie Yujiao is the young mistress in the future, it is inevitable that she, the housemaid, should come to recognize her master. She originally wanted to give Xie Yujiao a bad name, but who would have thought that Xie Yujiao would be so powerful, and instead made her a soldier, almost asking her to marry him? no face.

Cui Xing went back to He Wenhai's tent, spread the undelivered teacup in front of He Wenhai, acted a little coquettishly, and said angrily: "This future young mistress is really hard to serve, I'm so embarrassed I gave her some tea, and she said, "I don't drink tea from outside."

Cui Xing pretended to be Xie Yujiao and said with a sneer, "Could it be that our He family's tea is not good tea? Young master, are you going to judge me?"

He Wenhai had a bit of disdain on his face, recalling Xie Yujiao's appearance like a lotus flower just now, it was more fragrant than the gardenia flower on her head, he just smiled and said: "Beauties are naturally a little bit Little temper, so what, when the time comes to pass the door, don't you listen to me?"

Cui Xing frowned when she heard the words, she just pouted and said: "Young master forgot about Xing'er when he saw the beauty, if I knew Xing'er would not come out with you, Bai would get up early in the morning and get out of here Half a day's journey."

Although He Wenhai didn't dare to mess around outside, the good-looking maid at home did not spoil her a lot, so he just reached out and hugged Cui Xing in his arms and said, "Aren't you jealous?"

Cui Xing backed away shyly and timidly, with a look of refusal and welcome.

Xie Yujiao sat in the shed for a while, and felt a little short of breath, so she was ordered to leave immediately.Coincidentally at this time, Boss Tao also sent someone to reply, saying that Mr. Kang, the county magistrate, has arrived at the place of burial, so let's speed up the pace here.

Xie Yujiao walked at the front holding the spiritual tablet. Seeing that they were about to leave, He Wenhai hurriedly sent them out, and said, "Cousin is leaving soon? Why don't you just sit around?"

Xie Yujiao really wanted to laugh when she heard this, and there was no one else who invited the funeral attendants to sit down.

Xie Yujiao smiled coldly, saw the maid following He Wenhai, and said casually, "I don't want to sit down anymore. I don't dare to sit where people make faces while drinking tea."

Xie Yujiao didn't intend to sue for evil, but felt that keeping such a maid would be a disaster. Why don't you use this matter to try He Wenhai to see if he is a no-brainer? The maid is still ordering around, so this He Wenhai is really an out-and-out pervert.

When Cui Xing heard Xie Yujiao's stinging words out of the blue, her face flushed immediately, she lowered her head and dared not say a word, besides He Wenhai, there are several old mothers from the He family here, if she heard this, then she would It's really over.Cui Xing's heart turned cold, if such a powerful young mistress really came in, how could they survive?
