in spring

Chapter 161 Still the West Wind Overwhelms the East Wind
As soon as Chunying saw Manru's pitiful face, she felt disgusted, and couldn't help thinking of all the things she did when she just finished pretending to be pitiful and turned her head around. She sneered and said, "Sister Manru should choose a good partner if she wants to cry. Why am I crying, a little girl? Is it possible that I will take out the silver and let you do what you want because you shed a few tears?!" After speaking, he jumped up on the ground, patted the dust on his skirt, and said condescendingly Glancing at her: "Sister, you can see clearly, the third young master is not here!"

Manru bit her lip, and tears fell like pearls: "Why...you can't tolerate me...why do you bully me...what did I do wrong..."

Chun Ying couldn't help sneering, and wanted to stab her a few words, but Nan Qi came over and gently pulled her: "Don't pay attention to her, this is not our yard, let her go."

Chunying thought so, so she and Nanqi turned around and left, leaving Manru in a daze, wanting to cry and complain, but there was no one else, and the other maids all secretly glanced at her, and then went about their business , She felt depressed all of a sudden, she just felt that there was a ball of cotton stuck in her heart, making her uncomfortable.

Chunying watched from a distance, curled her lips, and said to Nan Qi: "This person is too annoying in the yard, why don't you tell the sisters around the old lady and ask them to drive her out? This is not to make her cry noisy place."

Nan Qi pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of? It has nothing to do with us anyway, she's making a fuss, and someone kicked her out, why bother to come forward yourself? Besides, you haven't heard any rumors in the house these days?"

Rumor?Chunying blinked, and seeing her looking at Manru, she understood a little: "Are you talking about the rumors that she and Rouge were fighting secretly? To be honest, I didn't expect them to last so long. It's been a few months? Three Why doesn't the young master care about it? He used to dislike people in his yard making trouble."

Nan Qi just chuckled and didn't speak.Chun Ying felt something was wrong, how low-key was Yan Zhi before?Shrunk in the room all day long, seldom even going out the door, never interacting with other maids, let alone quarreling, and even avoiding the third young master, she simply regarded this immature young lady as a super Invincible pervert!And now, she would be known to have a quarrel with Man Ru, and it is rumored that she is still the third young master's confidant? !
Chunying really didn't believe that the third young master would let the rumors develop to this point and do nothing for such a long time.Although I heard that he is now valued by Lord Hou, and he personally takes him by his side to teach, but there will always be time to take care of his yard, let alone Luer as a helper.

Chunying was a little curious, hesitating whether to ask Shi'er, Shi'er often goes back to Huanhuaxuan to play with Xia He, so she must know something inside?
But she soon realized that these things had nothing to do with her at all, so why was she so surprised?So he put aside this question, and planned to go back to the room to do needlework, and then go to see what happened to Qiuyu after a while.

Just as she was about to leave, she felt someone tug on her sleeve. Chunying raised her head, but heard Nan Qi slightly lift her chin, indicating the direction of the courtyard gate: "Look, someone came to ask, look at Manru I'm afraid she has been prepared for that appearance, I really don't know what kind of demon moth she will show again."

Chunying followed her line of sight, saw Wenyu standing in front of Manru, lowered her head and asked a few words, Manru cried while talking about how she saw the girl in the same courtyard, Rouzhi, seduce the third young master, and she kindly persuaded her. After a few words, he was insulted by the other party. The other party not only encouraged the third young master to get angry with him, but also threw things on him, and even said that he would kick him out of the house. Hearing that his wife was at the old lady's place, he hurried over.

The corners of Chunying's mouth twitched when she heard that, the girls who had gathered in Qiuyu's room were attracted by Manru's crying, and came out one after another, but after listening to it, they just looked at each other, then bowed their heads and dispersed.Wenyu went into the upper room and walked around, then came back, and said calmly: "Clean up, the old lady and the lady want to see you." Manru's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she hurriedly combed her messy hair with her hands. After tying it up, he respectfully followed Wenyu to the upper room.

Chunying frowned and said, "Is she going to hurt someone again? This time it's Rouge?" Nan Qi chuckled lightly, "No one is easy to use. When you treat her as her, you can always get what you want?" Chunying flattened her mouth: "Anyway, she used to be very happy before, and the unlucky ones are others. There is no way, she will flatter her, and her backer is very stable." According to her, the wife would actually use Manru as her confidant, she is really blind!What is it called?If a wise man thinks a lot, he must lose something?
Not wanting to watch Man Ru jumping around anymore, Chunying simply turned around and went back to Qiuyu's room. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, only Pearl, Amber and Agate were left around Qiuyu to read the letter. After reading the above words one by one, the other two chattered about the advantages and disadvantages of the two candidates. Qiuyu stared in other directions with a straight face, not reading the letter at all, but her cheeks were flushed.

Seeing Chunying enter the door, Amber raised her head and smiled and asked, "Chun'er, which one do you think should be your brother-in-law?" Qiuyu spat at her and threw a pillow over her head, "You shameless little hoof, since you are like this Enthusiastic, why don't you marry yourself!" Hu Po said with a smile: "Yo, I haven't passed the door yet, why don't I drink vinegar first?" Qiuyu was ashamed and angry, and pushed her off the kang, and climbed to the bed by herself. Kang Jiao opened his box and took out a fine brush to draw flowers.

Hu Po was still laughing, but Manao saw that Qiuyu's hands were trembling, so she gave her a push: "You know that she is thin-skinned, but why are you laughing at her? Help me make up your mind, please?"

Hu Po raised her eyebrows: "What's there to hesitate about? Of course it's good to choose the Zhao family. This Zhao Zengxiu is not only a talented man with a bright future, but also a relative. It will be very convenient for Qiuyu to go back to the mansion to pay her respects in the future. What's more Every time Grandma Qi comes to pay her respects, she always treats us respectfully, with the support of the old lady, her family will not dare to bully Qiuyu."

Zhenzhu shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Zhao Zeng is good, but if he really becomes an official in the future, how can he think of us as girls? What if in the future, after he wins the election, there is some chancellor who wants to recruit him. Son-in-law, what should I do if my name is Qiuyu? I’m afraid the old lady won’t be able to say anything. Isn’t there such a story in dramas?”

Amber hesitated: "But... that Lu is a white man, and a cripple..."

Chunying glanced at Qiuyu, and saw that she was holding a pen and staring at the white paper in a daze. The messy lines in the pen could not be discerned. Her ears trembled slightly, as if she was listening attentively to the discussion here.Chunying pursed her lips secretly, and said: "Sisters, it's useless to think about it for a long time here, you still have to find out clearly." She took the letter from Pearl, and said to Qiuyu: "Sister, let's send a letter. Let the letter go home? Let my father ask someone to inquire about the character and temperament of these two people... and the temperament of the two families, the environment of the house they live in, and how the life at home is... After you have a clear understanding, let's talk .This is a lifetime event, and we haven’t met anyone now, so what’s the use of just reading a few words from the matchmaker?!”

Qiuyu put down the pen in a panic, took the letter, and twisted the edge of the paper in a daze, Chunying simply took out a piece of paper, took the pen for tracing patterns, and began to write.Pearl came closer to see that she had finished writing, and said with a smile: "After all, they are those who follow Miss Biao, their handwriting is much better than mine. I heard that Jinxiu Linglong and the others can also compose poems."

Chunying picked up the paper and blew it, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen them make poems, but I have seen them contemplate and reconcile accounts. All the girls and servants who serve the Huo family are all literate. Once you have a child, you have to be enlightened when you reach a certain age, Aunt Qing said, that is the rule passed down by the Huo family ancestors."

Pearl was amazed, and Manao said enviously: "It's amazing, it's already rare to be able to read and write like sister Pearl, and his family even makes every girl and boy know how to read!"

Chunying smiled, read the letter to Qiuyu, and asked, "What else do you want to write?" Qiuyu shook her head, and Chunying folded the letter, planning to find a chance to ask someone to take it home. Amber snatched the letter: "Leave it to me, my mother is on duty at the second door! It happens to be on duty today!" She turned around and ran outside, but stopped when she reached the porch, turned around and greeted the inside of the house. Beckoning, Pearl and Agate walked out, and Chunying followed curiously.

Hu Po pointed to the courtyard, Chunying looked around, and saw that Manru had come out of the house, the tears on her face had disappeared, and she stood bowed with her eyebrows down. An Shi walked out from inside with a straight face, came to her, glanced at her, and snorted coldly: "You are not timid, relying on me to love you, how dare you come to disturb the old lady?!"

Manru fell to her knees with a thud: "I don't dare, I really have no other way out! In the past, because I was thinking about the reputation of the third young master, I didn't dare to speak up, so I swallowed all the grievances, but Yanzhi is too much today... Go on, what will become of the third young master?! The servant knows that he should not hide it from his wife. No matter how the wife punishes the servant, the servant will not complain. I only hope that the wife can persuade the third young master and put his mind on seriousness. On the matter." She burst into tears, if someone who didn't know saw it, she would definitely cry, but the big girls around her refused to cooperate, they just watched with cold eyes, only those little girls or old women who didn't know anything, Feeling sorry for her there.

An's tone slowed down, but she was still a little stern: "In the future, no matter what Brother You says, you should be the first to come back to me when you encounter this kind of thing! Crying and making a fuss, it's a joke. Wouldn't it hurt Brother You's reputation?! I handed my son over to you because I saw you doing things well. You can't persuade him, but you are useless. You still have the face to quarrel with the old lady?!"

Manru lowered her head even lower, almost lying on the ground.An's still couldn't let go of her anger, her face darkened when she saw Yan Zhi follow the little girl who was passing the message into the courtyard gate.

Rouge was wearing a dark green double-breasted clip, a white silk embroidered dress, and a begonia red sweat scarf tied around her waist. Her head was smooth, and only a pair of jade hairpins were inserted, and a pair of jade pendants trembled on her ears. Clean and delicate, against the whiter and more translucent complexion, even Anshi has to admit that her appearance is far better than Manru, not to mention that her son has always loved beauties, even if it was someone else, he would treat Rouge closer some.

But admitting to admitting, An's heart is still not happy that his son is being taught badly by the "fox spirit", so he scolded with a straight face: "When is it?! The old lady called you, how dare you neglect it?! The house is keeping filial piety , what are you doing in red and green?!"

Yanzhi was about to say hello to Mrs. An, when she was scolded suddenly, she saw the color in Manru's eyes next to her, she managed to hold back her anger, lowered her head and said, "Madam taught me the lesson, Yanzhi will never dare again."

An shi punched the cotton, feeling very depressed, but the other party was not a servant of the Hou family, and she had the face of Princess Jing. Thinking of marrying the sweet-scented osmanthus to the son of the family, she had already suffered a lot of complaints from her husband and daughter, so she had to endure it. Holding his breath, he decided to call his son to have a good talk after returning to the room, and left in a huff with a veil.

A look of astonishment flashed across Manru's face, only to wake up after Shaoyao yelled at her in a low voice, she glanced at Yanzhi unwillingly, and followed.Rouge sneered, raised her head and walked straight up to the room.

Hu Po turned around, smiled at Chao Chunying and the others, and stuck out her tongue: "My darling, this drama is much more interesting than the trouble in Heaven Palace that I watched last year in the Shangshu Mansion."

Pearl smiled and poked her on the forehead: "Silly girl, how does this compare to Nao Tian Gong?"

Chunying laughed along with them, looked at the direction of the upper room, and then at the direction of the courtyard door, raised her eyebrows, wondering if the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind?
