Beauty Sihuanian

Chapter 2

See also the heavy snow in winter.

This year's snow came earlier than in previous years, and the wind whistled through the streets and alleys. People wrapped their cotton clothes tightly and walked forward.

The clerk of the pharmacy knocked on the side door of Ji's house, and a young girl who had just shaved her hair walked out of the door, wearing a frost-colored jacket, dark green cotton trousers and black cotton shoes, wearing a pair of ingots in a bun, with a big face and a plate. He was very energetic, took the medicine bag from the clerk, handed over the money, and went in.

The Ji family in Wanping is one of the most famous families. The second master, Ji Shuo, inherited the title and succeeded Pingyang Marquis in Beijing. , the third master Ji Mang got the official position of the prefect of Wanping, and the Ji family is one of the few in Wanping's territory.

The maid walked through the corridor of the west wing, both sides of the corridor were covered with a vast expanse of white, it had snowed for two days, and it stopped blowing. Fengxue arrived at Yueyao Court in a short while, there was a red-colored figure standing under the eaves in front of the door, Xu's mother shrank her head, looking forward to the maid with great difficulty.

"Why have you been there for so long? What about the medicine?" Xu's mother is about forty years old, tall and big-boned, wearing a sauce-colored skirt and jacket. It seems to be old clothes for many years, and the color is not so bright. She is the fourth girl. The wet nurse has always been close to her.

The little maid handed the medicine to Mama Xu, she seemed a little unhappy, and said, "How long has it been? You have to wait there for the pharmacist to deliver it. If Mama Xu doesn't know, don't talk nonsense. If the mother in charge hears it , I really thought that I had slipped outside to play, and I would be punished by hand."

Mother Xu spread out the medicine bag and took a look, and saw that the little girl stood still, talking nonsense, how could she not understand the meaning, she also wanted to reward two money, but there was no other way if she couldn't get it out. .

She could only smile apologetically: "Tweety, you are good. Mama Xu will remember your affection, and she will send you some money next month. She will definitely buy you sweets."

Although Cui'er didn't get the reward, at least she got a sweet talk, after all, she was still a child, her conscience was still alive, she followed the example of other mothers, curled her lips at Xu's mother, and ran into the wind and snow again.

Mother Xu looked at Tweety's back as she left, and sighed for the contemptuous look in her eyes before she left. The fourth girl was not favored, and such a young girl in the house who had just cut her hair dared to show her face.

After wrapping up the medicine and stuffing it into the skirt of her clothes, Mama Xu rubbed her hands and let out a breath of mist. Then she picked up an oil umbrella leaning against the door, wrapped it around her collar, and entered the yard.

Yueyao Court is the place where the four girls live, and there is only one girl in the big house, and the second son lives in another courtyard.The layout of Yueyao Court is still the same as it was two years ago when the old man was alive. Some places are old and mottled, but the mansion is being repaired every year, but no one remembers to repair it. The fourth girl is young and weak. If she can do it well, she has to go to the accounting office of the back office to settle even the monthly allowance, and there are only a handful of people who can get it.

Originally, the most difficult situation in the mansion was the fourth girl. She finally learned a piece of piano, and her performance at the old lady’s birthday banquet was well received. It was mentioned that the fourth girl would be brought with her for two days, just when Xu's mother thought that the fourth girl's good day was coming, but it happened that the house was leaking and it rained all night, and the fourth girl secretly ate two shrimps on the banquet at the birthday banquet. After coming back, he had a wheezing attack, vomiting and diarrhea, and he was lifted up all over his body, and his whole body was swollen.

Just like that, the old matriarch's interest was swept away. Although a doctor was invited to stabilize his condition, the good thing about going to the old matriarch's side to educate him for two days was nothing.

Xu's mother passed by Baoxia and opened the cotton curtain in front of the fourth girl's room. The room was slightly warmer, but the smell of crushed charcoal was also pungent. The fourth girl was lying on the bed with no one else to serve her. There was a problem with the charcoal burning, so half of the windows were left and not closed tightly, so that the heating in the room could not be gathered, but the nose was always more comfortable.

The furnishings in the room are also outdated. The double-sided embroidered screen of Shu brocade in front of the fourth girl's bed should be the most valuable thing in the room, but it's a pity that the wooden frame is stretched. The wood has been damaged for many years, and there are already several cracks. It's a matter of time.

The curtains on the fourth girl's bed are frost-colored. They were originally light yellow warm tents, but after years of use, they turned white after washing and turned frost-colored. The bed was covered with a two-jin quilt, and the quilt was covered Wearing two long coats, it is still warm.

Mother Xu leaned over to have a look, Miss Si's eyes were still closed, she rubbed her hands several times, and after it was not so cold, she put it on Miss Si's forehead to touch, and then compared it to her own forehead, to be sure After the fever subsided, I felt relieved.
