Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 74
Shi Yiqing answered respectfully with his head down, and he agreed, but there was no smile on his face.Taking advantage of sending her out, Zhu Xi hurriedly said in a low voice: "Miss Si should be happy. The old lady is really concerned about Miss Si's affairs."

Shi Yiqing patted Zhu Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "In front of grandma, I hope sister Zhu Xi will help me a lot."

Back at Ning Xie Hall, Shi Yiqing put aside other matters, and first asked Madam Xu to summon all the people in Ning Xie Hall to the main room.

Except for the big girl, all the people in Ning Xie Tang were sent in by Yang Lianxiang, how could she know if it was her eyeliner?The woman from last time is an example.

Madam Xu kept a serious face, holding the roster in her hand, and waited until there were so many people standing all over the ground, then she leaned over to ask Shi Yiqing for instructions, and after getting approval, she opened her mouth with a stern expression, and let everyone who was counted , all took a step forward, let Shi Yiqing take a closer look.

Naturally, there is no need to order a few big girls, so Madam Xu will start with the third-class little girls.

Fang Feiyin served Shi Yiqing when she was ill, so she had gained face in front of Shi Yiqing, Shi Yiqing smiled and said to her: "You little hoof, if you don't come forward by yourself, don't you have to wait for me to let the mother Is mama calling you?"

Fang Fei grinned and said, "Slave Fang Fei please greet Miss." He made a special salute and acted as if he was not familiar with Shi Yiqing, which made Shi Yiqing grin, which eased the tension in the room. atmosphere.

However, Shi Yiqing became more concerned about Fang Fei. The rare thing about this girl is that she didn't put her face on the nose just because she served Shi Yiqing. His temperament is also the most stable, even better than the big girl Yinxiu, which is worth using.

Shi Yiqing had already asked Fang Fei about her family background when she was bored in the illness.Speaking of which, Fangfei is a poor person. I used to be a little bookkeeper next to the county magistrate, because once the county magistrate was offended and was forced to sit down, he was scared to death. Fangfei was only six or seven years old at that time, because she still had a younger brother who wanted to study , Fangfei's mother gritted her teeth and sold Fangfei, and she didn't know how many times she was resold. Fangfei remembered her name, but she didn't remember where her hometown was.

Fang Fei bowed her head and stood by the side after saluting. The remaining girls lined up. The leader was a girl with an oval face, with a big black braid tied at the end of the braid. Wearing a red velvet flower, the whole person looks clean and pretty.

Seeing Shi Yiqing, the girl quickly knelt down and said in a tight voice: "My servant, Xiao Ruier, has seen Miss."

Shi Yiqing smiled and said, "Is this your real name?"

The little girl shook her head, secretly raised her eyes to see Shi Yiqing's expression, and replied nervously: "Miss Hui, the servant was bought from outside, and she was kidnapped by someone since she was a child, and she can't remember her name." , this was given by Ren Yazi.”

He is also a poor man, Shi Yiqing felt pity in his heart, so he sighed, glanced at He Mu who was quietly smiling beside him, pointed to Xiao Ruier, and said, "He Mu, come and name this girl." Bar."

When He Mu heard this, he didn't refuse, and nodded in response. He first asked Shi Yiqing with a smile, "When Miss was ill, the maidservant decided to give Fang Fei a name. Miss, do you think it sounds good?"

Shi Yiqing nodded: "You are a little ink in your stomach. This name sounds nice, but it fits Fang Fei very well." He glanced at Fang Fei again, Fang Fei really looked a bit pleasing to the eye, if she dressed up Thinking about it, I'm afraid that ordinary officials and ladies can't compare.

Yinxiu, who was serving at the side, felt a little annoyed, and yelled at He Mu: "You little hoof! Just because you know a few words, you can show off in front of the lady! The lady asked you to name the girl to flatter you! But you don't know the severity, you kicked your nose on your face!"

"Yinxiu!" Jian Liu scolded softly.

Only then did Yinxiu stop talking, seeing Shi Yiqing's face was not good-looking, and knew that he had caused trouble, but relying on himself as the first old man to serve Shi Yiqing, he still said stubbornly: "Miss, this servant thinks that He Mu is too outrageous." ..."

"Yinxiu, I'm asking you, can you read?" Shi Yiqing leisurely fiddled with the tea leaves in the tea bowl.

Yinxiu was stunned for a moment, then honestly shook his head: "Miss Hui, slaves can't read."

Shi Yiqing also ignored her, nodded to He Mu, and said in an indisputable manner: "The name you chose is very appropriate. I heard from Madam Xu that you have been teaching these little girls how to behave these days, and you are familiar with it." It's up to you to take their temper."

He Mu's face remained unchanged, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before, he took a half step forward with his soft waist, pointed at Xiao Rui'er and said: "This girl has the most docile temperament, she speaks softly, never speaks loudly The servant girl wanted to name her Rouyin, but there was no reason for it, she just thought it would be nice to hear."

Shi Yiqing looked at He Mu with interest, and said with a smile: "This name is fresh and elegant, so it's fine."

Rou Yin thanked Shi Yiqing, then withdrew, and Mother Xu called her name: "Second girl!"

A girl came up and knelt down, this is the naive second girl.

Shi Yiqing was bored in his illness, Fang Fei kept talking about the second girl, and often made Shi Yiqing laugh out loud.

This second girl looks very ordinary, but she has a smile on her brows and eyes, which is very pleasing, and she has a somewhat like He Mu's demeanor.

He Mu also had a smile on his face at this time, and said to Shi Yiqing: "Miss, this girl is very happy. My father and mother used to be the stewards of the silk and satin village outside our Shi family, but later they were favored by the old lady and went to the old lady's dowry." Zhuangzi is in charge, and because of his age, the old lady made the decision to let the second girl come in to be the little girl who sweeps the house. She was originally the girl of Ningxietang. Miss, the servant will be the master and call this girl a flower candle, can you make it?"

Shi Yiqing saw that the second girl really looked naive and silly, and liked it in her heart. Although she was very disappointed with He Mu's name, she also yearned for it. If she really accepted He Mu, she would be able to spend the festivities with her beloved, It can be regarded as a credit to this girl.

It's just that, in her previous life, her expectations for love were too high, so that in the end her life was worse than death. Finally, in this life, she can redeem the mistakes of her previous life, but where is her beloved one?
Seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't have any objections, He Mu pulled another girl next to Huazhu, and said with a smile: "This girl, I have already thought of a name for this girl, so I call her Mingmei."

Shi Yiqing looked at the girl carefully, and saw that she was beautiful and graceful, comparable to Fang Fei. If Fang Fei was a peach blossom in spring, so gorgeous, then this girl was an autumn daisy blooming in the valley. Fresh and elegant.

Bright, very good.

This Mingmei's father, mother, and father were all infected with the epidemic, and they disappeared last year. There is only one cousin and sister-in-law in the family. The cousin is a snob. She sold it to Ren Yazi, and wanted to sell it to some shady place, but luckily that Ren Yazi still had some conscience, so she couldn't help Mingmei pleading again and again, and sold Mingmei to Shi's house, signing a death contract.

Of the remaining two girls, one looks very well-behaved, the other is quiet and amiable, He Mu decides, the well-behaved one is called Lian Ying, and the quiet one is called Qing Yan.They are all poetic and picturesque names, which are in line with Shi Yiqing's status as a young lady.

Both of them were born at home, Lian Ying's mother worked in the sewing room, Lao Tzu fed the horses in the stable, and Qing Yan's mother looked after the house in her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's fine with these girls, just watch it slowly in the future, what worries Shi Yiqing is the remaining four rough envoys, these are masters who can take their lives for money.

Shi Yiqing winked at Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's all from my wife. Among them, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Lin belonged to Ningxietang, and Mrs. Li's and Mrs. Wu's were originally from Ningxietang. The ones in the madam’s yard were later assigned to our Ningxie Hall.”

Shi Yiqing took an extra look at the Wu family and the Li family, and didn't say anything, just ordered a good job and let them go.

Before all the people had retreated, another big girl beside the old lady, Tortoise, came and said that the old lady was waiting for Shi Yiqing to pass.

Speaking of this tortoise shell, it is another allusion.

The old lady is not like the old lady next to her, she likes more elegant things, she doesn't understand these things, she just wants to have fun, get some gold and silver things to make her face look good, and the people around her, except bamboo breath, are all Named after gold and silver things, the six big girls, bamboo breath, tortoise shell, glazed glass, pearl, agate, tortoise shell, all of them look very festive.This tortoise shell, apart from Zhu Xi, is the old lady's favorite girl.

Hearing that the old lady was waiting, Shi Yiqing went to Chunhui Hall without even changing his clothes.

Who would have thought that the old lady would be a little unhappy seeing Shi Yiqing like this: "I asked you to come here, and I don't know how to add some clothes. The cold is good. If you catch the cold again, you might want to stay in my East Nuan Pavilion again." Are you bothering me?"

Seeing that the wives and ladies of the third room were all there, Shi Yiqing rolled into the old lady's arms, coquettishly said: "Grandma has a sister-in-law, so she doesn't love me anymore." She pulled Shi Congkuo's wife, Jian Shi, in.

Jian Shi is smart, and she is indeed loved by the old lady, taking this opportunity, she clapped her hands and laughed, "I don't dare to compete with Sister Qing'er for this favor, who doesn't know that Sister Qing'er was convalescing in Dongnuange these days, and almost killed Chunhui The roof of the hall was blown off!"

Everyone in the room laughed.It was just a fake smile, but Shi Yiqing didn't care about it. At this time, it's better to coax the old lady first.

The old lady likes to be lively the most, and when she saw the granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law in a room full of excitement, she could not close her mouth from ear to ear: "The weather is fine today, and I am afraid that you will not be able to sleep after a long rest, so I just want to work for you to accompany me." The old woman is visiting our garden."

The eldest lady hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "The old lady is slapping us in the face. It is my wish to be able to accompany the old lady to the garden."

The second lady also came to make fun of it: "The old lady is full of good things here, even the dim sum is exquisitely made, and I hope that I can come to eat the old lady's dim sum."

The old lady became more and more happy, and while hugging Shi Yiqing, she smiled and said: "Everyone is thinking about my things!"

The eldest lady didn't want to let go of this opportunity, so she pulled Yang Lianxiang to step on her foot: "We are all unfavorable, even if we think about the old lady's things, the old lady will not give it to me, I am afraid that the old lady will be hurt in her heart." Three siblings."

There is a reason here, because Shi Conghu is the eldest grandson of the Shi family, and Shi Jingran is the most promising member of the Shi family in court. Yang Lianxiang often shows off in front of the eldest lady, saying that the things behind the old lady are all Leave it to Shi Conghu, if Da Furen said this today, she was slapping Yang Lianxiang in the face.

Who knew that the old lady gave Yang Lianxiang a cold look, and said unhurriedly, "I'm afraid that some people don't care about things from an old lady like me."

Yang Lianxiang had no choice but to stand up, and said with a sneer, "Of course the old lady's things are all excellent." She gave the old lady another hard look.

The eldest lady had already turned her face away to joke with the second lady, and Yang Lianxiang was just about to explode with anger.

Shi Yiqing peeped, and Shi Yunyou was there.It's just that the whole person seems to be in a trance, presumably because he has just recovered from a serious illness.Searched around again, but did not see Shi Yunying and Shi Xuanxin.

After turning his eyes and thinking carefully, Shi Yiqing finally realized that Shi Xuanxin was probably still copying the Diamond Sutra in the small Buddhist hall at this moment.As for Shi Yunying, probably because of the old lady's wishes, she was not allowed to come over and only embroidered the dowry in the Green Jade Pavilion.

The last time Shi Xuanxin sneaked into the East Nuan Pavilion while no one was there, Zhu Xi finally found out. Shi Xuanxin made thousands of calculations, but unexpectedly, he was spotted by a poor woman. With a broken mouth, Shi Xuanxin made a big fuss in the East Nuan Pavilion, and the bullying of the sick concubine sister caused a lot of trouble in the mansion. Even if Zhu Xi hadn't been found out, the old lady was not deaf, she had heard the rumors a long time ago, and still Call Mo Xian over for a good training.

When Mo Xian came back, she mentioned it to Shi Yiqing. When she went, Shi Jingran and Yang Lianxiang were there.

Shi Yiqing was not surprised that the old lady would reprimand Shi Jingran and Yang Lianxiang, this was the purpose of her asking Mo Xian to reply.The old lady wanted to use her hand to suppress the power of the other houses, so Shi Yiqing naturally wanted to use the old lady's influence to consolidate her position in the Shi family.

It's just that Shi Xuanxin is suffering, and he doesn't know how long he will stay in the small Buddhist hall.The nanny under the old lady's hands is not a vegetarian, if one is not good, that would be a shameless reprimand.Shi Yiqing has been taught in her previous life.

The old lady was in high spirits, and the daughters of each house followed the old lady to visit the garden, and those girls who loved to be lively also came to make fun of it.The old lady always liked to be lively, and she laughed from ear to ear when she saw it, so she told Zhu Xi that there was a banquet at noon, and it would be held in the garden, no matter where it was, after they had finished their shopping.

Zhu Xi smiled and agreed, and gave Liuli a wink, and Liuli went to the big kitchen waving the handkerchief.

The garden of the Shi family was built when the ancestors of the Shi family were here, and it has been a few years now. In the generation of the old master of the Shi family, the old lady loves to enjoy herself. There were a few girls in the family, so she decided to make the garden even better. Be tidy.Later, the girls were able to marry and die, and the eldest lady and Yang Lianxiang fought for fame and fortune again, and the old lady gradually lost her thoughts.When Shi Xuanfu was still there, the old lady was a little bit happy, but now that Shi Yiqing came back, the old lady's mind became active again.

The Shi family's garden also has a name, it's called Baifang Garden, and it was originally for the daughters to live in.Although the family is separated, the garden has always been taken care of by someone. Now that the autumn wind is blowing, it doesn't feel bleak to walk around.

Everyone first arrived at the Fengyi Pavilion where Shi Zeqian lived, and saw that there were many green bamboos inside and the green garden was very pleasing to the eye.The windows of the three bright main rooms are all covered with glass, making the inside of the house even brighter.Entering the inner room, Shi Yiqing couldn't help being amazed. Unexpectedly, Shi Zeqian is a person who likes grandeur. The three main rooms are all opened up without any partitions. They are only slightly separated by screens and antique shelves.

The east side was used by Shi Zeqian as a study room. A large sandalwood desk with four legs and bent legs was placed in the middle. On the desk were messy brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and a few big characters with wet ink marks. It can be seen that she often practiced calligraphy. .There are tall and large bookshelves against the wall. At first glance, the entire wall is covered with books.

Shi Yiqing secretly admired it. Although Shi Zeqian was a little tricky, it did not disappoint the arrogance in her heart.

The old lady took a few sips of the tea made by Shi Zeqian herself, praised Shi Zeqian a few more words, took a short rest, and took everyone to Moyixuan where the three sisters lived together.

This Moyi Pavilion is just three main rooms and east and west wing rooms, there is no seat upside down, the three sisters and maids live in a tight space indeed.

The old lady was a little unhappy.

Yang Lianxiang took the opportunity to suppress the eldest lady, "Oh, my sister-in-law is so cruel, I didn't know how many nieces and daughters live so closely together, if the house here is not enough for my sister-in-law, then move to my place, the three of us Although the population is large, there are still some houses anyway.”

Yang Lianxiang was right. Although she was a vicious person, she had never treated a few concubine daughters badly when it came to eating and drinking.

The eldest lady murmured, "Old lady..."

Seeing that her mother was going to suffer, Shi Zeqian rushed to help the eldest lady, took the old lady's arm with one hand, and said coquettishly: "Mother has packed up another place, and some younger sisters will move there in a few days. The two younger sisters have lived together for such a long time, so I feel a little bit reluctant to leave Mo Yixuan, right, fourth younger sister?"
