splendid heap

Chapter 65 Preliminary Exploration
Seeing Xiangyu's pleading eyes, Huihui coughed uncomfortably, and spit at herself secretly. The joke didn't look at it, but it caused trouble for the upper body, so I had to explain: "You! You really don't know the blessing when you are in the blessing. Although the mother also asked you to follow, it was not too strict. I ask you to learn everything well, but it's just to let you gain some knowledge. Even Xiuhuo doesn't ask you to do well, as long as you can wear good soles and make good shoes, it doesn't mean you have to. Let you embroider so many beautiful patterns on the shoes."

After hearing this, Xiangyu thought about it seriously. It was such a reason. At that time, the nanny didn't say what she wanted to learn, so she smiled and said: "That's right, I scared myself, but miss But it’s too bad, Mammy is too strict at the moment, it’s justified to let the young lady work harder after the weather gets colder, but unfortunately, when Mammy spoke, I was worried about my own affairs, but I couldn’t say anything to the young lady Good thing, now I missed the opportunity but I dare not say it again, I don’t have to beg for mercy from the young lady, and if I get on with myself, then it’s not worth it.” After speaking, he laughed silly.

When Huihui heard the tone of the voice so suffocating, she fell on her back, she was really self-inflicted, so she stared at Huan Xiangyu, who was smiling, and said, "Don't be complacent, you can't blame me for being unhappy." You must know that you, a prospective daughter-in-law, are going to take the lead in the mother's house. In the future, when you get married, you will not be able to socialize with others? With the family background of the mother's family, you will be able to socialize in the future. It's impossible for others to be too bad, so you don't have to follow what I learned, even if it's not [-]%, you have to have [-]% or [-]%?"

Xiangyu has been with Huihui for many years, knowing that she likes to play tricks on people, so she smiled and said: "I don't believe it, how rich the mother's family can be, you have to learn what the mistress needs to learn For entertaining? Besides, I’m going to follow the young lady, so I don’t know where the family is going to take the lead. It’s enough to have a nanny at home, and the young lady should not fool me.”

Huihui only smiled when she looked at her, but she had already discussed with the nanny, and once Xiangyu got married, she would not be allowed to stay, and she was still waiting for leisure, but looking at Xiangyu's expression, probably It's really difficult to let her go. Usually, you have to instill in her the idea that she must be the director of the family, otherwise it will be bad for her to rebound if she mentions it suddenly. Look at Xiangyu. He has a frizzy temper, but he is a bit dead-headed, and it is very troublesome to be stubborn.

Thinking about it this way, Huihui paid attention, and stopped worrying about whether she should learn needlework or not. She cleared her throat, and said casually while holding the embroidery frame: "You really can imagine, mammy is working so hard!" It's been so many years, you don't say that you will go home to let Mammy rest well in the future, but think of everything to make her stand out, you are really a good daughter-in-law, Mammy is not young, and she has worked hard for us all these years Yes, but we can't let her continue to worry about it when she goes home."

Xiangyu was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about, Miss, going home in the future? Why do I want to go home? Could it be that Miss doesn't want me to follow?" Throwing down the sole of the shoe in his hand, he became anxious.

Seeing her like this, Huihui really felt a bit of a headache, she lamented her quick wit, luckily she thought about it and said it first, otherwise she might get into trouble if she behaved like this, so she took her hand, Seriously: "Xiangyu, haven't you thought about what to do if you get married with Brother Qingfeng in the future? Also, Xiangyu, you are sixteen now, and Brother Qingfeng is eighteen. It's not too young, and it's time to think about getting married in the future."

After saying this, Huihui felt a bit shabby, thankfully there were no other people, otherwise it would be a bit strange that her little girl of twelve or thirteen years old would say such old-fashioned words to someone much older than herself, so she said Uncomfortably, he threw away Xiangyu's hand, picked up the embroidery frame just now and began to embroider.

Xiangyu really didn't think about it. When the young lady said this, her face turned red, and she said in a daze: "Marriage? What is this called? Mammy never said it. Besides, the young lady has no way out yet. I'm anxious." What's the point, besides, even if we get married, I still want to follow the lady. If I can't be a close-fitting big girl in the future, can't I still be the lady in charge of the lady? At that time, brother Qingfeng will help manage the affairs, so that we all can Are they still in the same place? Isn’t it like this for all the big girls in other people’s families?”

Huihui smiled bitterly and said: "I couldn't argue with you about this reason for a while, other people's big girls have body contracts, but you don't, so naturally you don't have to guard me. I'm a small villager, how do you think Brother Qingfeng can leave me to be in charge? Besides, the mother's family is free, and you still think about letting them stay and work as slaves in another family? If you want, I will I can't bear it, there's nothing I can do in this mansion now, but if there is any way, I won't let Mammy work any longer, I should let her go out and guard Second Uncle Shi to live a peaceful life."

Xiangyu naturally knew that she should let Mammy live a leisurely and comfortable life, but she really couldn't bear to leave Miss, and she couldn't find a good reason to say anything, she only thought that Mammy should have something to say , Then he just said stubbornly: "Of course these things should be done, but how does the lady know that the nanny and the second uncle are not willing to follow the lady? Anyway, I will not leave the lady now. No matter what you say, I will It shouldn't be, miss should embroider things carefully, there is no need to spend such useless effort." After speaking, he lowered his head angrily and picked up the sole of the shoe, and put it away vigorously.

Huihui didn't expect to be able to turn Xiangyu's attention once, she got angry when she saw her, and she didn't speak very politely, and didn't talk to her too much, just smiled, thinking about how to turn her around Otherwise, the girl Xiangyu would be angry. If she was thinking about it, she might as well have heard the sound of footsteps outside, and knew that Miaoer was probably coming. The steps were light and fast, so she pushed Xiangyu with a smile and said: "Okay, don't be angry, Miao'er is coming soon, you call her in, and stand guard at the edge of the door, so that no one can eavesdrop."

Xiang Yuben was still a little bored, she might as well be pushed by the lady, she was about to get angry, but when she heard the letter from Miao Er, she hurriedly forgot her thoughts, stood up immediately, and didn't even bother to say that she should ignore people , rolled up the soles of the shoes and walked to the door, opened the bamboo curtain to the porch, looked outside, and saw that Miaoer had indeed come in, and saw that the girl was peeking left and right, acting like a thief, no Feeling happy, he called softly: "Hurry up Miaoer, here!"

Although Xiao Miaoer is small, he is clever. When he heard Xiangyu's cry, he stopped and looked around, raised his head and smiled at Xiangyu, and walked straight to the main room. After entering, he whispered The ground responded: "Hi sister Xiangtao, these are some fresh jujubes from home. My mother asked me to bring them to the young lady for a taste. It's our kindness." Xiao Guolan sent it to Xiangtao.

Xiangyu was anxious about the young master's news, so he didn't read much, just took the basket, thanked him and said: "Thank you so much, it's hard for your mother to eat a little while thinking about us, it's so hot outside, hurry in and have a cup of tea, it's okay See you, Miss." After speaking, he helped to open the curtain, and winked for Miao Er to go in quickly.

Xiao Miaoer was also very clever, when she saw Xiangyu winking, she knew that the lady was waiting, so she went in without saying a word.Seeing her go in, Xiangyu looked around and saw that the old lady who was watching the door came out, and then walked in with confidence, remembering the young lady's order, she didn't go in to greet Miaoer, but looked for A stool sat directly behind the curtain, watching the movement outside.

The little Miaoer who entered the door didn't see Xiangyu following in, so she knew that she was under the order of the lady, because it was the first time she talked to the lady so close, she was still quite nervous, so she adjusted the corners of her clothes quietly, She lowered her head and walked towards the side of the couch where the young lady was sitting. When she saw the foot of the couch, she knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, young lady."

Huihui knew that she was always received by nanny or Xiangyu in the past, and she didn't say anything to her. Seeing her tense body at this time, she must be nervous, but seeing her trying to hold back the tension , know the rules and don't look up directly, you know that her mother has probably told you at home, so she smiled and said: "Come here, don't be nervous, raise your head, and say what you have to say directly." Time is limited, Huihui is also different from her I'm being polite, besides, if I let her sit or drink a cup of tea, I guess the child will be even more uncomfortable.

Huihui spoke so directly, but Miao'er was stunned for a moment, probably because she never thought that the young lady could be so gentle and straightforward. Hearing the gentle and soft voice of the third lady, Miao'er unconsciously relaxed, and she followed suit. She became a little more natural, and knew that time was tight, so she didn't delay too much, walked forward a few steps obediently, stopped, raised her head, and replied neatly: "Miss, the cousin of the servant came back before noon, Let the servants deliver a letter, my brother didn't say anything else, only that the young lady understood everything after reading the letter." After speaking, he carefully took out the letter from his collar.

Huihui looked at her carefully, and knew that this child was cautious and considerate. No wonder her brother always sent her to pass on the news. Satisfied with her, Huihui smiled more and more gently, and took the gift from Miaoer's hand. He didn't rush to read the letter, but ordered: "It's hard for you to be thoughtful and bring fruit. I have to look at it for a while. You can find a small place to sit for a while. If you feel restrained, go and look for it." Your sister Xiangtao is talking, it’s okay to come up and answer after I call you.”

When Miao'er came, her cousin and mother had already explained everything, and when they arrived in the lady's room, they had to obey the lady's orders, not to glance around, not to raise the head too high, not to speak loudly, but not to shrink back She couldn't say clearly for a long time, but in a word, she had to be honest and obedient, so she listened to Huihui's instructions, and she didn't disobey at all, so she replied crisply: "Yes, miss, wait a minute, I'll go to the door Look for Sister Xiangyu and ask about needlework."
