August has entered autumn, and the weather in Hangzhou is still a bit hot. Ling Qingyu and a few maids rowed a small boat to pick lotus roots in their own lotus lake. The little girl sang a ditty while hooking up the lotus roots. Ling Qingyu looked at the fun, so she also took the hook to hook the lotus roots, but the lotus roots were not hooked. , people almost fell down.
"Master, what else do you know how to do?" Xie Sanlang sighed while tugging on Ling Qingyu's belt.
"As the head of the family, as long as the subordinates can do it!" Ling Qingyu raised his head slightly and said, then patted Xie Sanlang on the head and smiled: "So, Sanlang, what you the head of the family can't do, you have to learn to do it."
"This is too difficult, I have never seen you do anything." Xie Sanlang said with a bitter face.
You brat! Ling Qingyu patted his head and said: "Didn't I tell you that it's not that you can't do it, you just don't want to do it. How about I teach you how to draw?"
"Don't! Even Taoists can't understand your painting." Xie Sanlang said with disgust.
cut! Just as Ling Qingyu was about to re-educate him, Bai Wei from the shore shouted: "Girl, girl."
"What's the matter?" Ling Qingyu responded, and then asked the little maids to row the boat over.
"It's an invitation from the Xu family, saying that it's their old lady's 60th birthday in the future, and the girl is invited to have a drink." Bai Wei handed the invitation to Ling Qingyu and said.
"Xu Chang?" Ling Qingyu opened the post and looked at it, then fanned the wind with the post, muttering.
"Yes, it's the prefect of Hangzhou, girl, are you going?" Bai Wei asked.
"Well, Xu Chang personally posted a post here, no matter what, I have to go, go back and see if there are any clothes I can wear."
"Sister Yinqiao, I heard that the girl is going to the banquet this time, how many maids will she bring, who will she take?" The little maid who was cleaning up fresh lotus roots in the kitchen asked Yinqiao curiously.
"Bai Wei will definitely go with her. For anything else, let's see what the girl says." Yin Qiao opened the steamer on the stove, looked at the heat, and then covered it again, said.
"Sister Qiancao said, is it true that girls rarely take maids with them when they go out?" asked another little maid.
"That's right, we can't live in the girl's yard now, it's all guards."
"Speaking of guards, that Sum is really beautiful!"
"Saburo is so cute, he actually said something wrong with the girl."
"Don't talk about it in the future, if you still want to stay here." Yinqiao picked up the snacks in the steamer and said: "Don't talk about the girl's affairs."
After Yinqiao left, the little girls stuck out their tongues and talked about other topics.
"Yinqiao, I was just looking for you, the girl said, the four of us will go this time." Mai Dong walked from the path and said with a smile.
"That's right, hey, we are somewhat useful." Yinqiao laughed.
"That's right, you said we were raised as girls' personal servants, but now we can't even get close to girls." Mai Dong sighed.
Yin Qiao smiled and didn't answer, Mai Dong is the most beautiful among the four, she was not rescued from Haizhou by a girl like the three of them, but was sold into the Ling family, and she had other thoughts in her heart. It's justifiable, but the idea of wanting to be the girl's dowry maid and then the uncle's housemaid has not been broken until now, and I really admire her.
Walking into the courtyard, Sum took the snack from Yinqiao's hand, and said, "The head of the house wants you to choose clothes."
Mai Dong immediately beamed with joy, and ran in first, Yinqiao said to Sum: "I don't care if I take this in."
"The head of the house is picking out clothes now, and he doesn't want to eat. I'll put it in the small kitchen to warm it up." Sum smiled slightly.
"Okay, thank you very much." Yinqiao bowed slightly, and walked into the main house slowly.
The soft couch on the table in the room was full of clothes, Ling Qingyu rubbed his forehead and said, "When did you make so many clothes, come and come, anyway, you can't wear them all, they are all new, see what you like."
"Girl, let's pick out the clothes for the banquet in the future." Bai Wei smiled.
Ling Qingyu's skin color belongs to the kind that turns dark when she is exposed to the sun, and white when she is raised. She has just been raised, and her skin is fair and tender. In fact, she can wear any color, but she is plump and tall, too light-colored It didn't work either, but during this time Cai Jingfang made no less than a hundred sets of clothes for her, and this choice made her dazzled.
"This set." Yan San took one out from inside and said.
Only then did Mai Dong realize that Yan San was also in the room, and immediately put down the clothes in his hand and took a few steps back.
It was a soft and light shirt with a wisteria pattern that gradually changed from light purple to deep purple. Ling Qingyu put it on her body, made gestures, and asked, "Yes?"
Bai Wei nodded and said with a smile: "This dress suits the girl very well."
Ling Qingyu picked in the jewelry box. She likes jade, and usually wears jadeite, but it doesn't match the clothes, so she went to open the jewelry box again. When the box was opened, the room was full of jewels, and Mai Dong was taken aback. They all jumped up.
He took out a pile of beeswax jewelry from the bottom of the box, and Ling Qingyu picked out a hairpin carved from blood amber, and said, "Yan San, how about this?"
"This is really beautiful." Mai Dong sighed.
The blood amber is very big, carved into a rose flower, shimmering and shining in the sun, but it is the first work of Huangjing on Baodao.
Putting the hairpin aside, Ling Qingyu took out a box from the most hidden place of the box, took off the jade bracelet from his hand, opened the box, and took out the pearl bracelet from the box.
The pearls are all the size of a thumb, round and smooth, and there are many scattered pearls in the box, and there are six large pearls inside. I have never seen a pearl of that size, Bai Wei Mai Dong Yin Qiao, and I can't feel it. Take a breath.
Yan San smiled slightly, closed the box, and said, "I'll ask for yellow thorns to be inlaid this time when I go back."
"Well, but I didn't think about what to make." Ling Qingyu put on the bracelet and said.
"Girl has so many scattered beads, it's enough to make a necklace, and there are more." Mai Dong laughed.
"No hurry." Ling Qingyu buried her head and continued to look for accessories.
He found another waist pendant carved from blood emerald, it was probably about the same size, so he asked Bai Wei to put away the things, and said, "Well, you guys should choose some clothes too."
"Girl, Shopkeeper Cai made this for you. We are maids." Bai Wei said helplessly, Miss, do you want four maids dressed more beautifully than you to go to the banquet with you
"That's right. Then don't wear it this time, I will wear it in the future, girl." Ling Qingyu waved his hand.
Bai Wei casually took a few pieces, gave Yin Qiao a wink, and the two went out with Mai Dong in between.
When she was outside the gate of the courtyard, Bai Wei let out a sigh and said, "Mai Dong, we have been sisters for several years, don't blame my sister for not reminding you, the girl is easy to talk to, but the third master is not."
"I didn't do anything." Mai Dong lowered his head and said, the few brocade clothes in his hands were tightly grasped, and then said in a softer voice: "The girl is not bad, so it's nothing to give us a reward." ?”
"You are really looking for death, that pearl, do you know how it got there? It was snatched from the shark's mouth by the third master himself. The girl sees it like an eyeball, and you still want to reward you more." Yinqiao unconsciously hit her bitterly.
Mai Dong bit her lip and didn't speak, Bai Wei sighed again: "Sister reminds you again, don't think about being the maid of the girl's husband, the third master is the girl's husband, do you think the third master has a crush on you?"
Mai Dong unknowingly shivered, and said, "No way? Didn't the girl not get married?"
Bai Wei and Yin Qiao shook their heads, leaving Mai Dong alone in the yard thinking, and left first.
"Sister Baiwei, it's not good for you to tell her this?" Yinqiao said worriedly.
"Hey, if this doesn't wake her up, we won't be able to save her either." Bai Wei said with a worried face, just now Yan San had glanced at Mai Dong a few times, but Mai Dong didn't notice it at all. She came late and didn't know what was going on in Ling Qingyu's yard, so she always thought that Yan San was the head guard.
"Pfft..." Yin Qiao laughed suddenly, and seeing Bai Wei looking over suspiciously, she leaned into her ear and said in a low voice, "I just thought of it suddenly, if Mai Dong climbed into the third master's bed..."
"You're dying!" Bai Wei patted her, and then she couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you two laughing so happily?" Qian Cao turned around from the front and happened to see the two laughing together, and asked.
"It's nothing, where did you go just now? The girl gave us clothes." Yinqiao laughed.
"Treasurer Ding brought some herbs over, and some of them are for the girl. Shisan and I went over there to count them." Qian Cao laughed.
"Hey, how are you and Ying Shisan?" Yinqiao asked.
Qian Cao's face turned slightly red, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense, we just go to work together."
Both Bai Wei and Yin Qiao looked at her with a look of oh, Qian Cao's face turned red, and said: "No, he didn't even look at me, he just put the medicinal materials together and left."
"Hey, that's why I said you guys, it's better to pick and choose from the management. These guards of the girl are beyond our imagination." Bai Wei smiled lightly.
"That's right, no one can be like a girl." Yinqiao also sighed.
"Okay, let's get ready, we can't lose the girl's face in the future." Bai Wei clapped her hands and said.
