Chapter 37 Sisters
037 Sisters

Time is turning dark, and the hustle and bustle of the New Year will soon pass.On the fourth day of the first lunar month, it snowed again, and it fell like catkins for several days. The snow on the ground was several inches thick, and the green bamboos in Shicui Pavilion were crushed to pieces.

On the eighth day of the first month of the first lunar month, the snow still did not stop, and the Shicui Pavilion was full of bright colors, and the silver decorations were plain.Ju Hong and Qiangwei led the maidservants to sweep the snow in the courtyard, fearing that they would get thicker if they leapfrogged.Dong Yuan looked through the window lattice, felt the fragrance of snow cools his heart, yearning inexplicably.

She put on a windbreaker and clogs, and asked the little maid to sweep the snow with a dustpan, but was persuaded by Ju Hong: "It's freezing, my good lady, please sit in the house! If it's freezing, The old lady still scolds us to death!"

Dong Yuan didn't listen, and said with a smile: "It's not a problem! People are like water, only activities can be fresh! I always sit in the room, my hands and feet are stiff, and my blood is not flowing smoothly. It's like stagnant water. It's not good for me. Anyway, we My own yard, you let me stretch out!"

Tangerine stomped her feet angrily.

Qiangwei laughed and said, "Moving around makes me feel lighter!"

Ju Hong scolded: "You little hoof, you don't help to persuade, you still make a fuss! Miss Huihui has a cold, I will report to the old lady, I can't see you smashing your mouth!"

Dong Yuan laughed, and said to Ju Hong: "Aren't you all sweeping snow here? I didn't see you were tired from the cold, but I was made of mud and dough, so it's useless?"

Ju Hong begged: "How can you compare with us, we are used to rough work, you are a rich man, please go and sit in the room!"

Dong Yuan didn't want to tell her that exercise is good for physical and mental health, and he didn't want to say that people's status doesn't matter.It is of no use to say these things out of the ordinary in this day and age.She was just as stubborn as a little girl, acting coquettishly with Ju Hong.

Qiangwei smiled and took Tangerine's arm: "Sister, we are so interesting here, just let the young lady sit in the room, wouldn't she get bored?"

Ju Hong couldn't stand Dong Yuan's pleading, and Qiangwei offered to help, so she had to ask the servant girl to bring Dong Yuan another fox-fur trench coat, and told her to go back to the house as soon as she was tired.

Turning around again, let the little maids prepare ginger soup and hot water.

After sweeping for a while, the back of his arms gradually warmed up, Dong Yuan let go of his hands and feet, and worked harder than the little maid, which made Ju Hong talk again.

"Huh, what is this?" The woman in the goose-yellow satin jacket embroidered with hibiscus brocade was shocked when she saw Dong Yuan leading the maids to sweep the snow.

According to the reputation, it is Ziyuan, the eldest maid in the old lady's room.

Dong Yuan gave the broom to the little maid, and said with a smile: "It's snowing so much, why is Sister Zi Yuan here?"

Ziyuan was full of suspicion, but she still said: "A girl is here, the old lady asked some ladies to accompany her." Then she said, "Miss Nine, let the maids do the rough work, why do you sweep the snow yourself?"

The orange-red face changed slightly, and she hurriedly took Zi Yuan's hand: "I didn't persuade you. She saw that we were having fun sweeping the snow, and insisted on playing around. I couldn't stand her, and let her play for half a day! Good sister, you Don't make old madam the same, or my ten lives won't be enough!"

Ziyuan smiled, and then her face darkened for a moment: "I don't say anything! Be more careful next time, don't let Miss Jiu freeze, the old lady should worry about it!"

Orange hurriedly said yes.

Qiangwei hurriedly invited Ziyuan to sit in the room, Dong Yuan didn't dare to sweep the snow any more, and followed into the room.

The maids handed Dong Yuan ginger soup to relieve the cold, she drank it obediently, and Zi Yuan and Ju Hong were relieved.

In this time and space, it is difficult for Dong Yuan, who is a lady of every family, to have a healthy body.Just thinking about exercising, the waiters in the room all changed their faces in fright.

She sighed slightly, she really didn't want to be the sad and sick sister Lin, but the world forbade her to be perverted.

After cleansing her face, Ju Hong helped her smooth her face, Dong Yuan asked Zi Yuan: "Which girl is here?"

Ziyuan laughed and said, "Miss Nine probably doesn't remember. It was the eldest girl of Uncle Ming's family in the third room of West Street, called Jiang Wan. Just after she was born, Uncle Ming and Grandma were bedridden with illness. I went there in [-]. Second Master Xiao released the Tongzhi of the Ming Mansion in Guangdong and Guangxi District and took her there. It has been fourteen or five years since he left. Now Second Master Xiao is not well. I am afraid that Miss Jiang Wan will have nothing to do in the future, so I entrust her I gave it to Lord Hou, and someone sent it to Shengjing. I was supposed to arrive years ago, but there was a snowstorm on the way, and it has been delayed until now."

Dong Yuan listened and nodded.

There are many offshoots in Xue's house who live in West Street. Speaking of West Street, they probably refer to those people.

There are too many people, and the maids, wives, and even wives and girls in the inner house may not be able to figure it out.

She is the orphan daughter of an uncle in the clan, and she follows her uncle to take up the post.Then her uncle settled in Guangdong and Guangxi, and she followed him there.Now her uncle is in poor health and entrusts her to the old master.

Fourteen or fifteen years?

Then the girl called Xue Jiangwan should be sixteen or seventeen years old.You're so old, you're not married yet?

Dong Yuan thought about it, and changed into a moon-white embroidered jacket with Six-Happiness Ruyi pattern, a crimson-colored thread-stitched pleated skirt, a double bun on her head, and only a golden lotus petal and a little oil hairpin. The face is as beautiful as a peach stamen.

Entering the Xici room of Rongde Pavilion, only the old lady and the eleventh girl Xue Dongshu accompanied a young woman, talking quietly.

Seeing Dong Yuan coming in, the old lady smiled and waved to her, and said to the woman: "This is your ninth younger sister."

The woman got down from the kang to greet Dong Yuan.Dong Yuan hurriedly returned the gift, and his eyes flicked over her body: unlike the tall women in Kyoto, she was slender and thin, exquisite and small; fair skin, black and blue silk, wearing a pea green embroidered hibiscus bloom pattern collared long jacket, grass She was dressed in a green eight-treasure Linmen blessing dress, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water. When she looked at Dong Yuan, she couldn't help being surprised.

She smiled and said to the old lady: "Ninth younger sister is like a fairy, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful one, the old ancestor is very lucky!"

The voice is waxy and soft, and the Mandarin is not very standard, and it is more and more tactful in Wu Nong's soft language.

The old lady laughed.

Dong Yuan smiled, but didn't know how to address it, so he looked at the old lady.

Xue Dongshu saw it and said with a smile, "Ninth Sister, this is Jiang Wan Sister."

Dong Yuan called Sister Jiang Wan, and then sat on the kang next to Xue Dongshu.

Xue Jiangwan sat next to the old lady again and talked about the things in the south.

After half a cup of tea, the fifth girl and the twelfth girl all came. They greeted each other and called each other's sisters and sisters.

The old lady was happy, and she kept Dongyuan sister for lunch, and specially asked the kitchen to add some dishes that everyone liked.

After lunch, the old lady had to take a lunch break as usual, so everyone went to the Nuan Pavilion where Xue Dongshu was temporarily staying to talk.

"Sister Eleven lives here?" Xue Jiangwan smiled affectionately, "It's small and unique, ten and a hundred times better than the yard I live in at home!"

These words were a bit flattering, Xue Dongshu smiled lightly.

Xue Donglin, the twelfth girl, snorted coldly: "My grandmother's house is the most exquisite in Zhenxianhou's Mansion. What good things do you have in Nanman, how can you compare them?"

Xue Jiangwan's face turned red when he said that.

Xue Jiangwan lived in Xue's mansion without a name and no distinction, but he never thought that the twelve girls would be so snobbish, so that they would not give her face face to face.

Seeing Xue Jiangwan's embarrassment, Xue Dongshu was about to speak to break the deadlock and give her a step down, but he caught a glimpse of the cold Fifth Sister and Ninth Sister who didn't know anything, and swallowed his words again.

Xue Jiangwan was even more surprised at the coldness of the Xue family girls, and felt uncomfortable like a needle prick in his heart.From her point of view, this was a sign of dislike for outsiders. She clenched her sleeves slightly, and said to herself, and answered the words of Twelve Girls: "Yes, the land of Nanman can't compare with the prosperity of Shengjing." , I am arrogant!"
