The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 30

Xie Yujiao hadn't been to her aunt's courtyard since her aunt's fall.The gardenias at the gate of the small courtyard were in full bloom, and they smelled the fragrance before they got close. Xie Yujiao walked to the gate with the magpie, and saw a few maids making cotton-padded jackets on the corridor. The tertiary industry is still welcome.

Seeing that no one came out to welcome the magpie, she called inside and said, "The big girl is here."

Everyone heard the words, and put down their needlework one by one, and walked to the corridor to meet people. Xie Yujiao didn't know all of these people. The only one she knew was Yan'er, who was the maid next to the old aunt and grandma. It was not uncommon to run errands She asked her, "How's my aunt doing recently? Are you feeling better?"

Yan'er then replied: "It's better, but I can't move yet. The doctor said that it's not easy to recover from bone injuries. I'll lie down for this summer and maybe I'll be fine."

The girl heard clearly what Xie Yujiao said to the old aunt and grandma in the Small Buddha Hall that day, and now she believes that the eldest girl is the one who the Buddha wants to protect, so she dares not lie in the slightest, she just opens her mouth He replied in a straightforward manner.

"My aunt is back today, is my aunt happy?"

After hearing this, the servant girl lowered her head and thought about it, and then said: "I should be happier. My aunt and grandma didn't have lunch here at noon, but my aunt and grandma ate more than usual, and she even praised the dishes made in the kitchen today." It tastes good!"

Xie Yujiao just asked a few casual questions. As for whether she praised the kitchen's food, it had nothing to do with me. The reason why she planned to visit the old aunt and grandma at this time, she also had her own ideas.

"Okay, you go down, I'll sit in my aunt's room."

When the servant girl heard about it, she nodded and agreed, and didn't remember to make cotton clothes again, but went to the small tea room beside her to make tea for Xie Yujiao.

Xie Yujiao led the magpie into the old aunt's room. It was just after noon, and the old aunt hadn't woken up yet, so there was no one else in the room. Sitting down on the armchair, he glanced at the sleeping state of the old aunt and grandma, and frowned.

The elderly lady tended to make a few ups and downs of snoring while sleeping, and the magpie felt awkward hearing it, and asked Xie Yujiao, "Miss, can this servant wake up my aunt and grandma?"

Elderly people born with partial birth are light sleepers and are easy to be alert. Just as the magpie finished speaking, the old aunt opened her eyes and saw Xie Yujiao sitting directly opposite her. She was so frightened that she thought she had seen a ghost. The wound on the back of her buttocks was so painful that she cried out ouch.

Magpie followed Xie Yujiao now, and became more courageous. Seeing the old aunt and grandma shouting and drinking, she said: "My aunt and grandma keep your voice down, carefully scare the girl."

The old aunt and grandma burst into tears from the pain, she managed to calm down, and said angrily: "I scared her, but she surprised me by sitting in front of the bed while she was sleeping."

Xie Yujiao then said with a pleasant smile: "I will never do anything wrong in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, not to mention it is broad daylight, what are my aunts and grandmas afraid of? Are you afraid that I, a girl, will not make a movie?"

The old aunt is very wary of Xie Yujiao now, the more she heard her speak lightly, the more she felt that she had no good intentions, so she asked, "Just say what you have to say, now that I'm lying here, I don't dare to bother the eldest girl." Come and see me in person, I am afraid that this old woman will not be able to bear it, and her life will be shortened."

Xie Yujiao didn't want to waste time talking to her, so she said, "Auntie, grandma, to tell you the truth, just now, your natal sister-in-law has taken Aunt Fang away. I just lay down and didn't say I came to have a look at you. If I remember correctly, their Fang family can live such a life now, it is your credit, right? But these, I might as well throw a 500 taels of silver The banknotes are out!"

A few days ago, the old aunt knew that Aunt Fang was a useless traitor, and she hadn't seen her come over to take a look at her in the past two days. She used to walk to this small courtyard three or five times a day, but now she can't even see her. up.She didn't expect much from her sister-in-law. She was always enthusiastic when begging for help, and she had the virtue of refusing to recognize people when she turned her face.

After hearing this, the old aunt just sighed blindly, and then heard Xie Yujiao continue: "On the contrary, my aunt, my wife sent someone to report to Jiang's house yesterday, and she is here today, this is your own daughter. Aunt and grandma, you are getting old, can it be possible that you can't even tell the difference between relatives and distant ones?"

The old aunt thought about the scars on her daughter's arm, and felt distressed again, and a look of regret gradually appeared on her face. Xie Yujiao looked at her lying there, unable to move, and felt that such an old woman The person is also very pitiful, and he just continued: "Actually, you are such an old person, I don't understand what you are still struggling with, the Xie family is counted now, it is only you, my mother, and my three serious masters." Now, are you trying to take advantage of me and my mother or something?"

The old aunt and grandmother lowered their eyebrows and thought about it for a long time, and really felt that Xie Yujiao's words made sense. She didn't know how to refute for a while, so she said angrily: "I...I just can't understand how powerful you are, I... "

Xie Yujiao was amused to see her baring her teeth, hurting and trying to speak, so she just stood up, turned around and walked to the door, looked back at her and said, "Old aunt, grandma, you are getting old, eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name is nothing. Okay, don't mess around anymore, there is a Bodhisattva watching in your yard, if you are doing something bad, the Bodhisattva will have to entrust me with a dream!"

The old aunt and grandma thought it was mysterious when she heard this, and the cold sweat rolled down her back layer by layer, but I heard that the Bodhisattva who made offerings could not be withdrawn casually, otherwise it would be even more disrespectful. She is lying on the bed now, Unable to arrange these things, she always felt like there was something guarding her, which made her uneasy.

Seeing her terrified look, Xie Yujiao felt happy and left with the magpie.

Mrs. Xu was also fast at sewing, and took a nap at noon. Hearing that Xie Yujiao had sent Aunt Fang away, she went to see her aunt and grandma again, and felt much more at ease, so she started sewing.Aunt Shen also wanted to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu and said: "Wouldn't it be better if you have time to make some baby clothes, these things don't need your help."

Xie Yujiao saw that Mrs. Xu had made a few jacket shells, so she asked the maid to carry them back, planning to fill them with cotton at night, so that Mrs. Xu could continue to make them tomorrow.

After a busy day, Xie Yujiao took a bath in the bathtub and went back to the embroidery room upstairs. She saw the maids stuffing cotton there. If it was hot today, she would get sticky if she didn't take a bath for a day. She couldn't care about other maids. She reserved time for her maids and asked them to go down and wash up too.

Seeing that Xie Yujiao came back after washing, Magpie and Ziyan put down their work and said, "Miss, rest in the room for a while, and the servants will come after washing."

Xie Yujiao came from a modern age, and she usually didn't like them to serve her personally. She had let them serve her a few times before, and found it weird. I just asked them to prepare the washing things, and go in and wash them by themselves. When they are done washing, they don't need to serve them, and they put on their clothes and come out.

Xie Yujiao leaned on the soft couch for a while, and saw that the chest and back of the padded coat that the magpie was carrying were not properly packed, so she put down the diamond mirror in her hand, grabbed a handful of cotton with her fingertips, and stuffed it inside.

When Magpie and Ziyan came back, Xie Yujiao had already packed two cotton-padded jackets, only sewed a hole with a needle and thread, and waited for Minger to give it to Xu Shi for further processing.Seeing the padded jacket that Xie Yujiao stuffed, the magpie couldn't help but laughed and said, "Girl, is this a pillow or a padded jacket? This is a big piece of cotton on the chest. If anyone can wear this padded jacket, it will take up a lot of money." It’s cheaper, it’s twice as much material!”

Xie Yujiao glanced at it. Although she was quite fat, she would be flattened when pressed. The plug is already plugged, so why not take it out?
"That's it, if you get cheap, you get cheap, who will make him lucky!"

When Magpie and Ziyan heard this, they both pursed their lips and laughed.When the girl is powerful, she is quite powerful, but when she is childish, she is really quite childish!

Early the next morning, these cotton-padded jackets were sent to Xu's yard. Xie Yujiao got up early to dress up, and the magpie combed her into a peach heart bun, with a big pearl dotted in the middle and a string of small pearls behind it. I wanted Xie Yujiao to take a look at it, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the rhombic mirror that I used just yesterday.

Xie Yujiao twisted her neck and took a look, and said, "Okay, someone must have put it in a random place, and I can't remember it for a while. It's not easy to find it on purpose. It might come out in a few days."

After hearing this, the two of them followed Xie Yujiao's wishes and stopped looking for it. They just waited for it to come out by itself.

On Liu Fugen's side, the warehouse of the county government has also been contacted. There are more than 4000 cotton-padded jackets, which are fully loaded with more than a dozen carriages. Liu Fugen greeted him with a bow and bow at the entrance of the village. coming.

When Xie Yujiao heard that Kang Guangshou was coming, she naturally wanted to greet him in person, so she rode a sedan chair carried by four people all the way to the entrance of the village.

A few boys in the village were helping to count the quantity and load the cars. When they saw Xie Yujiao coming from a distance, they were all stunned. They only opened their eyes and glanced at him. Shen Shihu, the supervisor standing by, saw him and spoke in a calm voice. Said: "Hurry up, hurry up! Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"

Seeing Shen Shihu yelling, the young men all lowered their heads with a smile, and from time to time offered tricks to Xie Yujiao.Shen Shihu walked to Xie Yujiao's side, bowed respectfully and said, "Why did Miss come here in person, it's hot outside."

Xie Yujiao was wearing a silver-white beige with a gourd pattern engraved in silk, and embroidered twig patterns on the front. When the breeze blew, the sleeves of the clothes fluttered in the wind, giving her a somewhat ecstatic feeling.The maid stood aside, holding an oil-paper umbrella for her, Xie Yujiao stood slim and graceful among a group of rough men, making people feel more and more beautiful like water.
