Chapter 24
Thinking of this, Gu relaxed her body and leaned on the back of the chair. She tapped her chin and said to the girl serving beside her, "Go and get the pair of pearl earrings I got the day before yesterday!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhuyun again , "After all, you are a little quick-witted, and I have expected you well. This pearl earring rewards you."
Zhuyun knew that she had passed this test, and her face was filled with joy. She took the earrings from the tray and touched the bottom of her hands, her forehead to the back of her hands, and kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Auntie!"
"Since you are doing things for me, you will be rewarded if you do well. Just one thing, if you have something like today in the future, you must inform me first, and you must not act without authorization. Can you write it down?" Gu's method is habitual, but at this time it is just a habit of beating.
Zhuyun hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Your servant has made a note, but today's incident happened suddenly, and my servant is also in a hurry. From now on, I will naturally obey my wife's orders."
Mrs. Gu said "Yes", "You are a good person. If you act like this this time, I think the eldest lady will let go of your wariness. From now on, you only need to gain the trust of the eldest lady first, and listen to it." I'm here to send a message. It's alright, you've been out for long enough, let's go back first!"
Seeing the back of Zhuyun leaving, Mrs. Gu went to appease Xiao Ying.
Only Zhuyun came back with a red handprint on her back. Others didn't know where she had gone, but the cinnabar with her was very clear. She hurriedly took the ointment for Zhuyun, and there was another chaos.
As for Xiao Ruan, because Lianqiao paid more attention to Zhuyun from the beginning, she also received the news just after Zhuyun came back.At this moment, Xiao Ruan was wearing a coral-colored long dress, leaning on the soft couch, holding a volume of Geography, reading it with gusto.
Lianqiao refilled Xiao Ruan's tea, then stood quietly aside again.
After a while, Xiao Ruan put down the scroll in his hand, took a sip of the warm tea, and then said in a low voice, "Been beaten?"
Lian Qiao knew who she was asking, the corners of her mouth curled up, obviously gloating over the matter, "No way! Look at the redness and swelling, she has a lot of strength! Miss is wise, such a person will not have good results."
Xiao Ruan shook her head, she didn't mean this small palm print when she said that.It's just that she still needs Zhuyun and cinnabar, so she didn't plan to delve into it, but said to Lianqiao, "If they need you for something these few days, you should do it, and if you don't know about it thing!"
"Miss, why is that?" Lian Qiao frowned, according to her, she should get rid of these two people who are like Aunt Gu now.
Xiao Ruan nodded Forsythia's forehead, "I know you don't like to use your brain!" She took a pair of scissors from the embroidery basket, got up and trimmed the amaryllis in a vase on the window sill, with a relaxed expression, "If you really put these two If the one is driven away, the one who will come back next time will be a monster, don’t tell me you still need to spend your energy!”
Forsythia looked dazed, and took two steps forward to take the leaves that Xiao Ruan had trimmed, flattering her, "Our young lady is so clever!"
Xiao Ruan let out a laugh, and looked up at her, "Naughty!" Then he looked at the amaryllis in his hand, "The reason why the main flower is beautiful is also due to the decoration of the auxiliary flowers. Go, get me some pink roses."
Forsythia understood the words. A few bundles of lover's tears were inserted into this vase earlier. Not long ago, when Xiao Ruan was visiting the garden, he saw a plant of amaryllis that bloomed just right. When he brought it back, he just randomly inserted it. Two days of pruning and pruning, it looks really good.
At this time, Xiao Ruan meant to add some pink roses, thinking about it, Lian Qiao really felt very artistic.
Without saying a word, she ran out herself, intending to pick the best ones for the young lady.
Xiao Ruan watched Lianqiao run to the yard with a few little girls, shook her head and laughed.This girl is a loyal servant, but sometimes her temper is too outrageous!But in the previous life, this girl was the only one who was always loyal to her.
Thinking of this, she spread out the rice paper, and outlined the appearance of Zhu Dinglan with a few strokes.What she said just now was not just that Zhu Dinglan, in the current form of the family, with her father taking care of her, she couldn't move Gu Shi temporarily; but Gu Shi wished her to be a foil to Xiao Ying, and there was no way.
She hadn't been disfigured in this life, so naturally she wouldn't be depressed, let these two people control the middle class and bully her to the fullest.From now on, they will not be able to decide who is the master and who is the deputy.
After a while, the sound of footsteps came, Lian Qiao brought those girls back, saw Xiao Ruan was painting, so she lightened her steps.She took the flower basket from the little girl, and waved a few people down, "Miss, I picked the best ones that bloomed, do you want to insert these?"
The top few plants in the flower basket really bloomed very well, but Xiao Ruan didn't want Xiao Ruan to pick a few half-bloomed ones at the bottom instead, "It's better to use these few flowers, how can they overwhelm the hosts!"
Saying that, Xiao Ruan picked up the scissors and trimmed it briefly, then handed it to Lianqiao, "Go, plug it in!"
Forsythia took it, and Xiao Ruan continued with the painting.
The two sat and stood until Xiao Ruan mentioned another matter, "Is my grandfather's birthday coming soon?"
Forsythia finished planting the last rose, nodded and said, "Yes, my grandfather sent someone to the mansion a few days ago to notify that the post is at the old lady's place!"
It was also at this time in the previous life. Not long after, the old lady gave her the post, but she trusted Mrs. Gu at that time, and she had just burned her face, so she didn't want to go out at all, so she only asked Mrs. Gu to prepare a gift.Thinking about it now, it didn't just happen to follow Gu's wishes.
Xiao Ruan finished the last touch, and cleaned her hands under the service of Forsythia, "In a few days, you can walk around the street with me, and see if you can find something to make a gift for grandpa."
"Miss isn't picking in the warehouse?"
"In the warehouse?" The key given here is in Gu's hands, and Gu's going to cry before she opens her mouth.And don't worry, there will always be a time when she will spit it out, "Grandfather is a good book, I think I will have to search outside in the end!"
Lian Qiao suddenly realized that her master is not a book lover, there are probably only miscellaneous books in the warehouse, so it is not necessary to look for them outside.
For the next few days, the weather was calm, except that Zhu Sha came to ask for sick leave for Lian Qiao, everything else was as usual.
After Lianqiao heard that Zhu Yun was ill and could not serve in front of the young lady for a few days, she finally understood what the young lady meant.She didn't make things difficult for Zhu Sha, she agreed very readily, and only complained to Xiao Ruan in private, "I'm really used to a young lady's temper, but I just got slapped, and I'm going to rest for a few days! It's just your temper, Miss." it is good!"
Xiao Ruan just smiled, knowing that even though Lianqiao knew in her heart that there was only a layer of window paper left between them, it would be unattractive if it was really opened, but she couldn't stop wanting to vent her dissatisfaction, so she didn't blame her, just Let her tell those who are watching in private not to slack off.
On this day, I heard that a new batch of ancient books had arrived on North Street, among which the largest collection of Jixian Hall even had a batch of orphaned copies shipped from the south, so Xiao Ruan decided to go and have a look after lunch.
It happened that Zhuyun resumed his daily work yesterday, Lianqiao prepared lunch for Xiao Ruan, and at the same time ordered Zhuyun to go to prepare the carriage for the upcoming trip.
The reappearing Zhuyun was very low-key and introverted, even more respectful and careful than before.Even if Lianqiao ordered her to do something, she didn't say anything, which made Lianqiao, who was full of anger, almost suffer internal injuries.
Zhuyun's movements were very fast, and the carriage was ready in just one stick of incense.She went back to report to Xiao Ruan, but she didn't realize that someone had passed on the news that Xiao Ruan was going out after lunch.
Xiao Ruan's lunch was brought uniformly from the big kitchen, she had a simple lunch, and then she took Forsythia Zhuyun to go out together.
The carriage drove all the way to Beishi, Xiao Ruan looked at the people coming and going outside the car through the gap of the car window, and felt dazed for a moment, since she was reborn, she has been busy and thoughtful, Even at home, he is busy playing games with others.It's rare to relax at this time, and I just feel that the years are quiet for a moment.
However, she hadn't formed this idea yet. The groom in front made a "Woo", the carriage neighed suddenly, and a few people sitting in the carriage involuntarily leaned forward due to inertia.The forsythia, which was putting tea on the side, was stumbling around, and Zhuyun next to him helped with swift hands and feet, so that the car was not stained with water.
Xiao Ruan supported the inner wall of the car, frowning slightly, Lian Qiao leaned across the coffee table and asked, "Miss, how is it? How is it? Is there any injury?" Zhu Yun got closer, and stretched out his hand to help, but Xiao Ruan stopped him with a wave of his hand, "I'm fine, first ask the groom what happened?"
Lian Qiao responded and raised her voice to call, when she heard the voice of the driver outside, "Miss, someone stopped the car and wanted to see you!"
"Miss?"
"Miss, do you want to get out of the car and have a look?"
Forsythia and Zhuyun asked questions at the same time.
Xiao Ruan rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, wondering who would have recognized her on the street and stopped her carriage to ask for a meeting.During this period of time in her previous life, she had never been out of the house.Could it be someone from the grandfather's family?
These thoughts were only in Xiao Ruan's mind for a moment, she couldn't figure out why, so she agreed with Lian Qiao, "Come on, let's go down and have a look." No one dared to do anything on Shangjing Street!
Lianqiao and Zhuyun put a veil on Xiao Ruan and helped her get out of the car one after the other.After getting out of the car, Lian Qiao found out that the person standing in front of the car was a man dressed as a bodyguard with a saber pinned to his waist.
Seeing her looking over, the man cupped his fists and gave a salute, "But Miss Xiao Ruanxiao, the daughter of the Minister of War?"
Xiao Ruan's expression under the veil was slightly puzzled, but seeing the guard's upright expression, Fang said generously, "It is indeed a little girl, dare to ask?"
The guard lowered his eyes and gave another salute, "I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you. In fact, my master just happened to meet Miss Xiao in front of the mansion, so I asked you to come down!" He stretched out his hand to guide the direction.
It was only then that Xiao Ruan discovered that there happened to be a carriage parked not far from her family's carriage.
It was a carriage with a simple appearance, and there were only a few very conspicuous badges on it. Xiao Ruan frowned and thought about it, only feeling that the badges were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
