in spring

Chapter 29
Just before dawn, Chunying packed her luggage and blew out the oil lamp.With the light coming in from the window, she took out the pouch containing silver from her small box, rubbed it, and bit her lip.

Why?Just when she thought everything would go well, such an order came suddenly? !Hadn't she been dismissed by Mrs. Xu in the name of "ignorance of the rules" a long time ago?Everyone said that Sister Cui Man specially asked for grace for her in order to make up for her, but why did Sister Cui Man do this? !Didn't she already say that she doesn't want to enter the mansion? !
Thinking of Widow Cui's tearful but relieved expression, and Aunt Ma and others trying to persuade her mother to reconcile with Cui's family, Chunying couldn't help but want to get angry.What is "even"?What is "not owed"?Sister Cui Man "owed" herself for bringing herself into the house, okay? !I didn't offend her, why did she throw herself into the fire pit? !Did she think everyone loved being a girl like she did? !

Thinking of this, Chunying was full of grievances.At the beginning, I was mentally prepared to be a maid, but I was suddenly scolded. Now that I have a better way to make money, I don't want to be a maid, but I have to follow orders to enter the house.Isn't this a deliberate joke? !What's so great about the master?Are children not human?Why should they come and go as soon as they call? !

Chunying was still feeling aggrieved here, when suddenly she heard her younger brother's cry of "ba woo ba woo" from the corner of the kang, she put the money bag back into the bottom of the box, carefully covered it, and then climbed to her brother's side.

Xiaohu can walk now, and runs on the kang all day long on his short legs, running unsteadily, but he talks slowly.Chunying remembers that her little cousin could call mom and dad when he was only one year old, but now Xiaohu can only call him mom and dad vaguely when he is one and a half years old, and even his sister can only call him "Jia". Home".

Chunying sometimes thinks, could this be because the family members didn't educate them well?His father had to work all day, and his mother was busy making embroidery. Even if he wanted to teach him, he didn't dare to do anything in front of his mother. As a result, Xiaohu's mental development was delayed, and he couldn't even speak as neatly as another "little tiger".Think about the two boys from the Ma family who are neighbors. They are almost seven years old this year and still only know how to play around. Will grow up like that.

It seems that my younger brother's education still needs to be taken care of. It's too negligent to patronize and make money.But according to the current situation of the family, even if he is taught to read, he can only be a servant for others. When the family quits their citizenship, things will be easy to handle, and maybe they can catch up with the seven-year-old Kaimeng.

Mother Lu came over with a bowl of hot porridge and two steamed buns: "Eat it, be careful not to walk when you turn around." Chunying let go of her younger brother and took the food. Seeing the light green color of the steamed buns, she knew that she brought them back yesterday The trial product of "Jade Steamed Buns" made by him couldn't help but darken.

Lu's mother crossed her legs on the kang, hugged her son, and said, "What's there to be depressed about? I don't understand, even if you get a few taels of silver from the Hongyu couple, you can't get it every month. After all, that shop is not ours. If you work hard at home, the old ladies and wives may reward you a little more when you see you are hardworking. Isn’t it better than being outside?” She bowed her head and patted her son stretching Xiang Mantou's hand continued to persuade: "The Cui family's mother and daughter do things that people really can't understand. If you slap someone and give them a sweet date, you think it's even? Hmph! But Cui girl has only been in the house for a few days. You have this ability within a month, and you can't underestimate it. You should stay away from her, and you should be respectful when you meet her. You can't show your face to Widow Cui like that day, which almost made your Aunt Ma unable to come down from the stage. .”

Chunying couldn't make her mother understand her thoughts, so she had to swallow her anger and ask again: "Aunt Lu's place, is it really okay?"

"It can't be done." Lu's mother signaled her daughter to eat quickly, "The Wang family wanted to intervene and squeeze out your Uncle Lu's people. You Uncle Lu had no choice but to order the honest couple—that is, you during the Lantern Festival. The one I’ve seen is in my aunt’s house—one of their brothers was working in front of Lord Hou, and Lord Hou agreed. Your Aunt Lu even came here to apologize to me.” She sighed, “Your Aunt Lu is really a smart person. , I only said a few vague words, she could guess that our family intends to go to the young master's side, she also said that this is a good way, when the young master separates the family, the small family will feel more at ease than in the house .”

Chunying lowered her head to eat the porridge, and after a while, she said: "Father... Mother, please persuade me, it's not a big risk, as long as I can get out of citizenship, I will try any method." She put The money bag was taken out and pushed in front of the mother: "Mother helped me keep it, don't use it indiscriminately, this is to be saved for redemption."

Lu's mother hurriedly put away the purse: "You girl, today is a good day to enter the mansion, why are you so discouraged when you talk and do things? Be careful that the master is not happy to see you, and I will send you back! Don't worry, everything will be fine at home. Yes, you have entered the mansion, and you should discuss things with your sister more, so you don't need to be homesick..." Suddenly her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly turned around to wipe them off.

Chunying's nose was sore, and she barely swallowed the porridge and steamed buns, when Mrs. Guan's voice was already calling for someone outside.She put down the bowl, hugged her mother fiercely, and kissed her younger brother twice before picking up her luggage and walking out with red eyes.

Guan Pozi was a little impatient: "Why are you so slow?! You are not the only one who went in today! I have to answer my wife! Go!"

Chunying glanced at her blankly, then looked back at her mother and younger brother, and followed her out of the courtyard.

Mother Lu carried her son straight out of the yard, watched her daughter get into the car and leave from a distance, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Chunying followed Mrs. Guan into the back door of the Hou Mansion, where four or five little girls were already waiting.Mrs. Guan glanced arrogantly at the crowd, called a daughter-in-law to roll the roll, and after making sure everyone was present, ordered them to follow her to the main courtyard.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Guan respectfully asked the maid to inform his wife, and only after getting permission did she bring him to her.Chunying and other little girls knelt five meters away from the hostess of the Hou Mansion, and only secretly caught a glimpse of a woman in a purple cloak and a brown skirt sitting on it. She was about 30 years old and had no makeup on. She only wore simple jewelry, but it couldn't conceal the aura of wealth on her body.There are two girls standing behind her, both of them are about sixteen or seventeen years old, and their looks are average.One of them seemed to have noticed something, and looking over in a blink of an eye, Chun Ying hurriedly lowered her head.

Mrs. Guan smiled back and said: "Returning to Madam, there are six little girls here, all of whom are just selected from the family's children. The four older ones are just for the young ladies of the second master's family." After finishing speaking, she pointed Pointing to Chunying and another little girl, "These two were originally prepared for the third young master. Because Juxiang and Zhuxiang went out, Huanhuaxuan lost two people. The younger one was afraid that the third young master would not have enough people, so he specially confessed Underneath, choose someone to fill in."

An shi swept the four big girls and ordered them to go down without any other choice, then looked at Chunying and her two seriously.

The one on the left with low eyebrows is pleasing to the eye, but he has an honest appearance, and he looks good. Although he is not outstanding, he looks like he can do a job. Looking at his hands, he is not a coddled person.Anshi nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the right side again, she looks quite pretty, but why are those eyes not honest?Eyeballs turn and turn, what's the idea? !Look at those slender hands again, is this a rough girl or a vixen? !

An Shi raised her face, pointed to the girl on the right, and asked: "What's the name of this?" Guan Pozi panicked, and hurriedly replied: "It's called Yin'er, she is the daughter of Zhong Er's family in the laundry room, and she is good at it." Needlework." She was a little panicked, wondering if it was her wife who found out about the money collection again?

An Shi snorted: "Good needlework? I'm afraid she is not good in this one place?" She narrowed her eyes, and her face changed into a smile: "Forget it, Aunt Hua just complained that she lacks people there. Give her this Yin'er, lest others say that I have neglected her." After saying that, she glared at Yin'er: "I'm waiting for you! Don't make any mistakes!"

Yin'er turned pale and glanced at Mrs. Guan, seeing that she turned her head away from her, she kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Madam for your kindness, I will take good care of my aunt and grandma." There was crying in the words.

Chun Ying felt chills in her heart when she heard that, along the way just now, this Yin'er was very close to Mrs. Guan talking and laughing, and she guessed that they had a good relationship, but she never expected that Yin'er would immediately Changed the place, Guan Pozi had nothing to do.I don't know if this wife will also attack herself?
Chunying suddenly shivered.She would rather serve the young third young master than be reassigned to someone she doesn't know.

But the wife didn't make things difficult for her, she just told her to do her job well, but when she heard Chunying's name, she suddenly asked: "I remember hearing this name somewhere... By the way, you weren't at the beginning of the year. Are you going to enter Huanhuaxuan?"

Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "Going back to my wife, she is that Lu Chunying. Now that she has recovered from her illness, it happened that Manru saw her when she went home to see her mother, so she told the little one. The little one thought that she was going to the third young master." Yes, it’s time to make up for it now.”

An Shi nodded: "That's all. Since it belongs to Manruti, let's do it this way. That child has always been safe."

There is nothing wrong with Chunying.She had successfully officially become a member of the Third Young Master's subordinates.But when she heard his wife's praise of Manru, she felt a little disapproving.Sure enough, he has dignity in front of his wife, so he has the ability to bring her into the house.

Chunying slowly withdrew from the main room, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid came over and said, "Come with me, I will take you to see Mei Xiang, she is the big girl in the third young master's house." Chunying agreed Just as she was about to follow her out, she suddenly heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard. A daughter-in-law rushed in and shouted loudly to the upper room: "Ma'am! Concubine Jing is back, old lady, please come to the front." go!"
