Chapter 11 Lu Qiuyu Returns to the Provincial Family Hospital
Not to mention that Sister Man of the Cui family finally got her wish and joined the Third Young Master's Courtyard to work. Chun Ying who stayed at home is not having a good time right now.

After Lu's mother issued twelve gold medals in a row, Qiuyu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, took advantage of the fact that the old lady had gone to Prince Jing's mansion and was not at home, and things were still relatively free, so she returned to her hut the next day.

Qiuyu is only 15 years old, of medium stature, with a happy round face, slender eyebrows, and a smile at the corner of her mouth. When she puts on her face, she is quite majestic, but the small dimple on her right cheek gives her She added a bit of coquettishness.

She was wearing a lotus-blue jacket, a thick pleated skirt of pine-colored silk, a blue silk waistcoat over her head, and an indigo sweater around her waist. She wore thick-soled suede shoes, only dark purple shoes. A few winter jasmine flowers were embroidered on the face.A head of black and thick hair is tied into two ring buns, and all the hair is tied up with a big red headband. There are two hairpins, with a few gold inlaid jade hairpins on one side, and butterflies twisted from gold threads on the other side. Two earlobes On the bed, there are also two small jade butterflies shaking.Although the clothes are heavy and simple, the earrings on the head and the red gold bracelet on the wrist are quite gorgeous.

She came in a small car, accompanied by a little girl, and the driver was a woman, who turned around as soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard.Qiuyu gave the little girl some money to play by herself, and then went into the house by herself.Several families in the same courtyard saw each other, exchanged glances, and mocking smiles appeared on the corners of their mouths.Widow Cui couldn't sit still because of the eyes of everyone, she lowered her head and went back to the house and closed the door tightly, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart.

But Qiuyu returned home, and the incident didn't happen right away.She just hugged her younger brother to get close, then asked her mother how her family was doing, how her father was doing at work, etc., and how her younger sister was recovering.

Mother Lu answered her questions one by one, and at the end she pointed to Chunying's head, and said bitterly: "I don't know if your sister really burned out her brain, and told her to say something nice to Mrs. Guan, but she didn't move." Make a move! If she was smarter yesterday, she might have returned from an errand! It's all her, and Cui girl has taken advantage of it!"

Chunying's forehead hurt from being poked by her, but she didn't dare to say anything.She knew she was in the wrong, but if she really took the initiative to fight for that errand, she still couldn't make up her mind.It has been less than a month since she passed through, and even though she is willing to get close to her parents, there is still a gap in her heart. How can she accept that she ran to a completely unfamiliar environment as a servant without any preparations?Before time travel, although she was engaged in the service industry, she was still a free person!
I don't know what this sister will do to her?I heard that the other party put a lot of thought into this matter.

Chunying raised her eyes cautiously to peek at Qiuyu, and when she saw her glance over, she hastily lowered her eyes.

Mother Lu complained about the younger daughter, and said to the elder daughter: "Cui girl didn't come back yesterday, so she really stayed, right? How good is this? It's obviously an errand we asked for... Xiaodong from Ma's family last night The boss whispered to me that Widow Cui stuffed a small package in private for the woman who came with Mrs. Guan. Tell me, what is this called? Their mother and daughter pretend to be pitiful all day long, but secretly they are harmful and cruel. They were bought, why no one treats them?!"

Qiuyu restrained her mother lightly: "The third young master left Miss Cui, this matter is a foregone conclusion, mother should not think too much about it. There are many things that make things happen on weekdays, and the mother and daughter of the Cui family think that they have gained a lot of benefits." , It’s hard to say what the result will be! Let’s just watch the excitement from the sidelines.”

Lu's mother looked frustrated. Although she had a premonition about the ending last night, she was still very uncomfortable when she actually learned the exact result from her daughter: "Could it be that they are being cheap like this?!"

Qiuyu smiled, and changed the subject: "I can't stay here for too long, I'll go back after dinner. If there is anything you want to say, mother, please say it quickly, or I will see you next time, and I don't know when it will be." .”

Lu's mother was very reluctant: "Is it okay to sit for a while longer? Your father can't come back until dinner. Because he took too much leave a year ago, he can't leave now. You haven't come back for more than three months. Mom misses you." , your father misses you too."

Qiuyu's expression darkened, she lowered her head and said softly, "The old lady should go back home during dinner..."

Lu's mother shook the eldest daughter's hand, forced a smile and said, "Then I'll cook right now, why don't you play with my younger brother for a while?" Then she signaled Chunying to help.

"Let my sister stay and talk with me." Qiuyu stopped her mother, "Earlier you sent a message saying that my sister forgot about the past. I finally came back. The two sisters should also get closer."

Lu's mother agreed, turned around and went to the kitchen, Chunying listened to Qiuyu's words tremblingly and got on the kang, hugged her younger brother casually, not knowing what she wanted to say to herself.

Qiuyu just looked at her indifferently for a long time, and then asked: "Mother said that you forgot the past, and even forgot how to sew, is it true?"

"When...of course it is true."

"Have you been practicing girl red these days?" Qiuyu reached out and lifted Chunying's forehead hair, "How is the injury? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore..." Chunying resisted the urge to shrink her head, "I have been practicing for a few days, and my results... are not bad..." She touched the sewing basket and showed Qiuyu her work.

If it was Lu Chunying before crossing, because she had a mother who opened a tailor shop, she might have some experience in making clothes, but she was completely incapable of embroidery.However, Lu Chunying after the time travel, I don’t know if it’s because she was a female celebrity in the first place, so she is quite handy in learning needlework. The half-embroidered "Butterfly Love Flower" handkerchief already has an outline, And according to Mama Lu, a female celebrity expert, except that the thread and knots on the back are too messy, the embroidery on the front can still be seen. It only needs more work on the density of the thread and the place where the needle falls.

This evaluation gave Chunying a lot of confidence, thinking that maybe it was the influence of the original memory of this body that made her female red course more effective.If things go on like this, after a few more months of study, she will be confident that she can compete with other ancient girls of the same age in needlework. Of course, her level is still not comparable to that of her predecessor.

Qiuyu probably thought so in her heart, so she only glanced at the veil, then looked away, and comforted softly: "This time the errand is in vain, so you don't need to take it to heart. , take good care of your body. After a while, sister will find another vacancy for you."

Chunying hesitated for a moment before answering.Qiuyu saw that she was not as straightforward as before, but she became suspicious: "What? You don't want to? Didn't I tell you? The gap with the third young master has been filled, and I can't get in for a while. You don't want to It's useless to be willing." Thinking of the private message from Shaoyao yesterday, she had no choice but to hold back her breath.

"No..." Chun Ying hurriedly said, "I didn't take it to heart. I'm fine now. You...you don't have to force..." Biting her lips, "I'm the same at home..."

Qiuyu frowned: "What's the matter with you? Mother said you refused to say anything yesterday, and I thought you were shy. Don't tell me you really don't want to work in the mansion?"

"How could it be?" Chunying naturally wouldn't admit it to death, and argued strongly, "I'm just worried that I forgot how to do needlework, if I go in, I won't do anything, and I forget the rules, maybe I will get into trouble , on the contrary, it hurts my parents and sister."

Qiuyu was a little disapproving after hearing this: "What are you afraid of? Even if you really go in, it will take two or three months to follow the optical rules, and then start with rough work... Although you are asked to do needlework, Huanhuaxuan has its own skills. Workers, you still can't get the job! It will be two or three years before your work can be on the stage, so why not?"

Chunying lowered her head: "I don't know what to do... I'm afraid of being beaten... I met Sister Hongyu who used to work in the mansion the day before yesterday. They seem to be very miserable..."

"Hongyu?" Qiuyu was startled, looked up and saw her mother enter the door, and asked, "Mother, how did my sister meet Hongyu?"

Mother Lu put down two bright oranges: "I went out to watch the lights last night, and my sister-in-law took us to eat Lantern Festival at the stall run by Hongyu and his wife. That's when we met. I almost didn't recognize Hongyu girl back then. It is also a juicy and tender flower, now..." She sighed, and then pushed the orange to the eldest daughter, "Your Ma's aunt just sent it here, try it quickly."

"Mum, let's eat with dad, I ate a lot inside." Qiuyu didn't take it seriously, turned to her sister and said, "I also know about Hongyu, she came into the mansion with me. Yes, when she left, I played a part in it. But this matter is also Nandeng's ignorant flattery! The young master said that he would lend them the capital, but he himself said no, Hongyu actually followed suit His idea! Otherwise, renting a small shop, wouldn’t it be much better than setting up a stall on the street? They asked for it themselves, so you don’t have to take it to heart. To put it bluntly, I am now an old lady’s person, and there is no one in the whole house. Those who dare to show me face, if you really want something, everyone respects each other and saves some face. You are my sister, even if you make a mistake, others will look at my face and won't be too harsh, let alone I know your temperament very well, how much trouble can you cause?"

Chunying bowed her head and remained silent, and found another reason after a while: "Father has to work at the gate every day, and mother often goes out to do work, and my younger brother has no one to take care of him at home, so I don't feel at ease..."

"Just leave it to Aunt Ma's family, how many times does Mother go out a day?!" Qiuyu became a little impatient, "Tell me clearly, are you really unwilling to work in the mansion? What is the reason? Are you afraid of being restrained, or do you want to be lazy?! Your parents have raised you so much, and the family is in such a situation. If you are not on a job, do you still have to eat at home?! Years ago, you went to see a doctor for your medicine. All the money accumulated in the past few years has been spent, but now you say such things, do you still have a conscience?!"

Chunying had a sore nose, trying to hold back tears.She bowed her head to reflect, was she really too selfish?Now that you have worn it, you should think more about the family.

Mother Lu saw that her little daughter's face was flushed, but her heart softened, and she advised the eldest daughter, "Forget it, she's still young, just teach her slowly."

Qiuyu also calmed down a little, and slowed down her voice: "It's not that my sister wants to scold you, you should also think about your parents. We are a family of five. Now, besides my father and me, there is also my mother who occasionally helps others with sewing. There is no other income. Father only has five renminbi a month, although I have one or two, but as an errand in the inner courtyard, it takes a lot of money to exchange people. If I can really bring it home, it is only two or three renminbi a month. .My mother saves food and expenses on weekdays, takes care of the whole family, and has to do needlework at night. When she gave birth to her younger brother, she suffered from the root cause of the disease, and it is still not healed! As a daughter, don’t you know how to share your mother’s worries? "

Chunying lowered her head and admitted "I was wrong", a sentence lingered in her throat a few times, and finally said: "If there is a next time...I...I will be more active..."

Qiuyu glared at her, then turned back to her mother and said, "I have inquired about it. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, two people will be released from the second lady's room to match others, and the third lady's room will also be staffed, although they are not needleworkers. , but having an errand is better than nothing, and it’s best for my younger sister. I will ask someone to pay attention, and my mother will urge my younger sister to practice female red well, and tell her about the rules and regulations. "

Lu's mother agreed pleasantly, but she was a little worried: "When I go to the young lady's room... I'm afraid that in the future..."

Qiuyu smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of? The second lady is only a few months older than the younger sister, and the third lady is still young. When they go out, the younger sister will grow up too. The ones who are always married are close-knit big maids, and the younger sister is not worthy of her position." Go, you don’t look too good, so naturally you won’t be able to get in, and when the waitress goes out, the old lady and the lady might show mercy and let everyone out.”

Lu's mother now has a smile on her face: "That's good, that's good, if in the future...you are released, our family is still together, it's better than going to other places as a dowry!" Speaking of which, She remembered something, and she approached her daughter and said: "Your aunt of the Lu family just told me that a nephew of her family has been in charge of a village in Xishan this year, and has not yet married..."

Qiuyu blushed slightly, and stopped her mother's words: "It's still early, who knows what will happen in the future? Don't talk about it."

Lu's mother had no choice but to shut up, but she was still a little unwilling: "Your Aunt Lu and I have been close since childhood, and we have already agreed to marry in the future. Unfortunately, her son is still young..." Glancing at the little daughter, she felt that she It seems that there is not much difference in age between Zi Yu's son.

Chunying felt creepy and turned her head away.She was more attracted by a piece of information revealed by her sister: when the maid waits for her to get married, she will have a chance to let her out.

Is this a way to be free?
(I was so scared to death, I almost couldn't get on the Internet...)
