in spring

Chapter 58

Chunying couldn't help becoming anxious: "What should I do? This..." She took a careful look at Li You's face, and the red marks on her face disappeared. If she told the old lady the truth at this time, would the old lady believe it?

Li You obviously thought of this too, and his face turned dark: "Shameless villain!"

The two master and servant were worried, Manru quietly looked at their expressions, lowered her head in deep thought, and asked in a low voice, "Third Young Master...Aren't you going?"

"Go, why don't you go?!" Li You sneered, "I want to hear what nonsense he will open his eyes and say!" Then he turned around and asked Chunying: "If anyone asks you, just say that I am studying. I'm bored of reading, and I came to enjoy the snow in the garden, because you were driven away by me, and you weren't there to serve, so I don't know who I met. Don't talk about what happened just now, not to mention Mei Xiang's other side! "

Chunying was puzzled, and wanted to ask clearly, but it was inconvenient to have Manru present, and Li You's face was a little impatient, thinking that it would not be too late to ask later, so she agreed, and then the master and servant set off , walked out of the garden.

Passing by the gate of the garden, I heard crying from a long distance, and when I got closer, I saw a woman sitting sideways on the steps in front of the hut, with her hands on her waist and hips, howling loudly, as if killing a pig Seemingly, the other two women were laughing and whispering, and did not come forward to express their condolences, but there was a little girl who was busy bringing hot tea and medicinal oil from the house, and was ordered by the woman again. Going to find her niece.

Li You frowned, and passed by without stopping, but the woman was howling, and suddenly saw Li You, and immediately stopped talking, her eyes widened, and she kept staring at him.Man Ru scolded in a low voice: "Presumptuous!" She hurriedly lowered her head, and only after they passed by did she secretly glance at Li You again.Chunying turned her head and stared at her twice, and recognized her as the garden guard woman she met that night, but what was she crying about with her ass in her arms?Could it be that he fell?The snow on the ground has not been swept clean, and it is easy for people to fall when walking on it. It seems that I have to be careful.

Hurrying back to Huanhuaxuan, Li You changed his clothes and went to see the old lady.Chunying stayed in the courtyard, worried, wondering whether the dispute between the two young masters—or the three—would involve her. To be honest, she felt very innocent...

Li You didn't come back until nearly one o'clock in the evening, and he had already had dinner.Chunying looked at his expression from a distance, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.She was secretly worried, what happened to that matter?Has the second young master filed a complaint?Have you solved it?Has the third young master been punished?Has Zhou Nian been wronged?Has the second young master been scolded?What is the result? !
She was running around in a hurry in the front yard by herself, but in the back yard there were a lot of girls milling around the third young master Li You, who poured tea, served snacks, changed clothes, waited on the wash, made the bed, served the soup lady, and ordered. The smoked cage... the stars are holding the moon, and there are two Chang'e outside to greet the moon and ask for warmth.Li You had just been tense with the old lady. He couldn't take it anymore at a young age. He didn't care about the gentleness of the girls. He changed into his pajamas and washed his face in a hurry, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. up.

Chunying was still waiting for the news. Seeing that the lights in the main room were turned off, and the girls who were not up for the night all quietly returned to their rooms, she realized that it was impossible to be trusted tonight, so she had to turn off the stove in the small kitchen. Back to the room to rest.

The next day, she appeared in front of Li You with a pair of panda eyes on her head, and shocked the latter: "What's wrong?!"

Chunying curled her lips: "The third young master slept soundly last night, I was so worried that something might happen, I didn't sleep well at all!"

Li You laughed dumbfoundedly: "What's so scary about this? At worst, you will be punished, and the young master will reward you later." After speaking, he walked to Duobaoge, opened a brocade noodle box, and grabbed a few silver coins from it. Put it on the table: "Take it, you were frightened yesterday. These days, it's hard for you to do well."

Chunying glanced at the silver, and had already estimated the approximate weight. She felt that the third young master was still generous, and her private house had increased again.But she also knew in her heart that money was very important, otherwise how would she carry out her own free plan?So he put away the silver coins and gave Li Youfu a blessing: "Thank you, Third Young Master." Then he asked: "What happened yesterday? Second Young Master filed a complaint?"

"That's not true." Li You also had some doubts on his face, "Maybe he didn't know that Brother Nian had good medicine to get rid of the bad marks? Speaking of which, he didn't ask me to go there yesterday, it turned out that Big Sister sent someone to deliver something. Come on, the old lady called me because she asked about me. The second elder brother was called over by his wife. When he saw me, he didn't dare to talk too much, but talking still made people feel uncomfortable, and those eyes still..." He didn't know how to describe it, but he felt that the second brother's eyes were a little scary, as if there was something ulterior to be hidden...

Chunying breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't file a complaint. The second young master gave up such a good opportunity. Is this the past?"

"Who knows..." Li You pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, "Chun'er."

"what's up?"

"I remember your sister is working in the old lady's house?"

"Yes, her name is Qiuyu, and she used to come here often."

"I remember her. You..." Li You paused, "You find an opportunity to meet her within today and tomorrow, and let her know what happened yesterday...but don't tell me that I told you to send her a gift every day. The matter of eating and going to Zhumengshan residence, I only said that I was in the garden. I saw my second brother quarreling with me from a distance, and even moved his hands. Besides... I told you to find medicine to rub it quietly, but I was afraid of old age. Wife and wife are angry, and they are afraid of hindering the second elder brother's imperial examination, so you are not allowed to speak up. Remember clearly?"

Chunying guessed what he wanted to do as soon as he heard it: "Is this just in case? But... the second young master will say that you are framing him again."

Li You sneered: "This is not called framing, this is preemptive strike! I can't ask him to plot me secretly, make my mother ashamed, and drag Brother Nian into the water. He doesn't care about this matter, where is it?" I can't even ask for it!"

Chunying thought about it, and felt that the second young master was not a good person anyway, and what the third young master asked her to say was not completely a lie, so she agreed.

The cotton curtain on the door suddenly moved, and a person walked in, but it was Man Ru, who reported with a smile: "Third young master, the shoes you asked me to make..."

"Where's Mei Xiang?" Li You frowned, he clearly remembered that Mei Xiang was sent to guard the door.

Manru smiled, a little embarrassed: "Sister Lan Xiang asked her to look at the materials just now, and she will probably be back soon..." As soon as the words fell, the curtain was raised again, and this time it was Mei Xiang: "Third Young Master, are you right?" Hold on, I just walked away for a while..."

Li You stared at her twice: "I'm going to go away in the future, at least I'll explain it to you!" Then he said to Man Ru: "I'm talking to someone here, next time I'll wink, don't rush in rashly." If you bite your lip, you should bow your head.

Chunying had a bad feeling, why did she feel that Manru's eyes were hot on her?
But Li You didn't seem to notice it at all: "That's it, don't forget. The pickled civet cat I ate at the old lady's place yesterday tasted pretty good. I'm going to have it here for lunch today. You go Discuss with Aunt Li and get one too."

What?Civet?Third young master, aren't you afraid of SARS?

In the end, this dish was still not finished, because Aunt Li said that the civet cat needs to be soaked in the water left over from rice washing for a day before the meat is delicious. The third young master couldn't wait, so he made another dish of marinated chicken.

Chunying was very depressed, when she was washing Aunt Li's vegetables, Manru kept beating her, what did the third young master tell her.Sister, if it wasn't for the third young master who said not to tell anyone casually, she would rather tell the truth than be stared at by you suspiciously!

The snowstorm this winter seems to be particularly heavy. It snowed overnight the day before yesterday. Before the sun came out and melted, the sky changed again in the evening. The heavy snow fluttered like goose feathers. The front and back yards of Xuanyuan are paved with a world of colored glaze.The girls did not dare to go out, and closed the doors and windows tightly, leaving only a gap for ventilation. When the wind and snow were a little lighter, Mei Xiang ordered to pull out the bamboo curtains used to shade the sun in summer, and hung them on both sides of the veranda. On the side, a passage that can avoid the wind and snow was separated before the cleaning project began.Fortunately, Chunying was assigned to cook ginger soup to protect the girls from the cold.

Even though everyone dressed warmly and drank ginger soup, some people still caught cold and fell ill.At first, there were only two or three little girls who were weaker, including Xia He. Then, two of the second-class girls fell ill, and even Mei Xiang caught the cold.

Lan Xiang personally led people to move the patients to two fixed rooms to avoid infecting others, while the third young master braved the wind and snow to go to pay his mother's peace, begging her to send someone to invite the doctor.It's just that in the snowy day, many people fell ill, and it was difficult to invite doctors in the city, and it was impossible to call the imperial physician to treat the girls. In the end, a Qingke under Lord Hou who knew medical skills gave advice, asking Xia He to wait The little girls who are seriously ill will go back to their own homes to take care of them first, while Mei Xiang and others who are less ill will stay and take the medicine prescribed by him first, and then we will see the situation, but they will not be able to serve the third young master for the time being. .

Due to the shortage of manpower, Qing'er returned to the main room to serve.Although she couldn't do close work, being able to pour tea and water in the third young master's house, clean up and deliver things meant that she had regained her original dignity.When the third young master saw her, his face was pale, but he would also say a few words to her. Chen'er, who was originally excited about having the opportunity to enter the house to serve her, did not dare to be rampant in front of Qing'er anymore.

Chunying watched the sky gradually clear up, and remembered what the third young master told her to do two days ago, so she found out the few rewards she had received recently, wrapped them in handkerchiefs, put the sleeves in the sleeves, covered them with a big padded jacket, and followed Lu After saying hello, he walked towards the old lady's yard under an umbrella.

The woman in charge of cleaning the road had already pushed the snow to both sides of the road to clear a passage, but Chunying was walking on it, and she still felt a little slippery, so she had to walk carefully step by step.There is no one on the road, everyone is huddled in the house and can't come out. If she falls, no one will save her.

Walking and walking, the wind seemed to be getting stronger again, Chunying hurriedly avoided the limelight, hid in the flowers and bushes beside her, waited for the wind to pass, and then she came out, but she caught a glimpse of a girl walking through the moon cave door not far ahead. He came out, looked around, acted a little sneaky, and threw a stone at the door of the opposite room.After a while, the door of the opposite room opened, Qing'er came out, said a few words to her, and then took something from her hand.

Chunying huddled behind the flowers and bushes, looked carefully, and felt that it seemed to be a silk bag, yellow, with red patterns embroidered faintly on it.what is that?
(After watching "Avatar" today, I really feel that there is nothing in this world that cannot be made...)
