Spring is beginning in a blink of an eye. As the saying goes, the Qijiu River opens, Bajiu geese come, and Jiujiu scalpers are walking everywhere. Now in the capital, the weather has warmed up. Although there is still a cold spring, it is beginning to warm up day by day.
The winter jasmine flowers in Shen's Mansion are blooming. The first to see these small yellow flowers in the yard, clusters, blooming in the corner of the wall, Liu Qiqiao did not leave the yard, but since the swelling on his face disappeared, he did not always Bored in the house, she took a few people to clean up all the weeds in the four corners of the yard, and ran through the yard very smoothly. She asked Lan Xiang to beg for some flower seeds. The rapeseed, Lanxiang bought them according to her request, and wrapped them in paper.
Liu Qiqiao knows when these flowers and vegetables are planted. She is more familiar with these than doing business. The weather is very good early in the morning. Liu Qiqiao is wearing a half-new and not old jacket. A cotton skirt, her hair simply combed in a bun, there was no pearls at all, and she looked coldly, like a maidservant, she took a flower hoe, personally shaved a pit under the wall, Lan Xiang asked For her, she was pushed aside: "You don't know how to do this, I will grow these when I was young, I will..."
She planted the rapeseeds, "It will sprout in three or two days, and when it grows for ten and a half days, there will be fresh vegetables for us to eat..." Liu Qiqiao sprinkled the rapeseeds, straightened up, and clapped his hands: "Come on, help me step on it!" On the slippery ground, two pairs of small feet wearing embroidered shoes lightly stepped over and stepped back. When the matter was over, Liu Qiqiao stood aside, thinking of something, and asked Lan Xiang : "The young master is getting better?"
It's been a long time since Lan Xiang heard Liu Qiqiao take the initiative to talk about Shen Yunong. When she heard her question, she hurriedly replied, "Yes, yeah, auntie, would you like to see the young master?"
These two people have not seen each other for more than half a month. Because of being beaten and injured, Liu Qiqiao used the injury on his face as an excuse to go to the three places of Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen Shao. The matter was taken leave.
Mrs. Shen loves her very much, and she asked Mother Zhou to see her in person several times. She only said that she should be kept well, please peace or whatever, if you can avoid it, Mrs. Shen Shao is also very reasonable, and she has always been there. Call these aunts, if you can save it, you will save it.
On the contrary, Madam Shen was very annoyed. Listening to Lan Xiang's request, she said angrily: "She'd better never come in front of me, so as not to add trouble to me!"
Liu Qiqiao listened to Lanxiang hesitatingly and replied to the three ladies. She also knew that Madam Shen was not sure how to arrange herself, but she didn't care, as long as she could not ask for peace and be scolded by her, it would be fine, Liu Qi Coincidentally, the cat was in her little yard for more than half a month.
Lan Xiang asked her if she was going to see Shen Yunong, she shook her head: "Since everything is fine, what am I going to do? I'm going, I'm afraid that I will get mad again, forget it!"
She put down the flower hoe, regardless of Lan Xiang's shook head and regretful look, she took a few steps, sat on the stone steps beside her, resting her cheek in her hand, and looked at the well-hoeed land.
"Auntie, you said that you have been messing around with these things all the time. Alas, the young master quietly sent Lutong to visit you at intervals. For this, you should also go back to visit the next person!" Lan Xiang collected the tools and said while packing up.
"It would be nice if it was in a country house..." Liu Qiqiao sighed: "I want to go out, and, after going out, I don't want to come back!"
Lan Xiang was so frightened by her words that she almost dropped those things. She looked around and found that none of those people came over, thinking that they were not heard, Lan Xiang walked in front of Liu Qiqiao. Kneeling down to her, she begged Liu Qiqiao: "Master, don't keep saying things like that. This has been heard by someone with a heart, and I don't know how to arrange you..."
Liu Qiqiao smiled bitterly: "That's the best thing, it's best to be able to get out, so I don't have to worry about how to get out!"
Lan Xiang was so anxious to come and cover her mouth, Liu Qiqiao smiled and avoided: "Okay, okay, I don't want to say it, let's go, go in the house to wash, and after the sun sets in the afternoon, Plant the rest!"
Lan Xiang helped her stiff waist. She was busy getting up this morning. However, Liu Qiqiao had nothing to do. She couldn't bear it anymore: "You can still plant it. Auntie, you are really good, aren't you tired?"
"What kind of work is this?" Liu Qiqiao said, leaning on the steps and getting up. When she was not married, when the spring or autumn harvest started, she would always help her daddy and brothers. Daddy said she wanted It would be nice to be a man, even more capable than those two brothers.
Liu Qiqiao and Lan Xiang washed their hands together. When Lan Xiang changed Liu Qiqiao’s clothes, he told her what was new in the mansion recently: "Aunt Gao’s cousin is here, listen to them, and Auntie Gao looks a little like she brought a lot of things from the south, what to eat, use, wear, wear, and everything. This is a gift for Auntie Gao, the old lady, the lady, the eldest lady, and they all gave a lot of precious things. The stuff was given back to the aunts in each room, but it was not given to us here. It's too much!"
Liu Qiqiao listened silently, but there was no expression on his face.
"Auntie, are you upset when you listen?" Lan Xiang said angrily.
"What's so angry, should I be angry?" Liu Qiqiao sat on the edge of the table. He was thirsty after finishing work, and regardless of whether the tea was cold or not, he picked up the teapot and drank it to his mouth. .
Lan Xiang hurriedly snatched it down: "My ancestors, this tea was made last night. If you want to drink it, I will call Qiangwei to make a new pot for you. What can I do if my stomach is broken? "
"How can it be so delicate!" Liu Qiqiao smiled disapprovingly.
Lan Xiang yelled Qiangwei twice in a high voice, but did not see her answer, and then called Jasmine, but no one agreed. She said unhappily, "Every day, I don’t know where I’ve gone, and I can’t use people to scream. My heart is gone!"
Liu Qiqiao knew that since he was beaten, everyone in this yard except Lanxiang had grown grass in their hearts, and they thought she was not favored anymore, and there would be no more days when they were in their early days. Many people have neglected themselves, that is, they go to other places to earn a living, and they are all looking for a home for themselves.
"Don't talk about them, Lan Xiang, you also think about it for yourself, if I go out in the future, you find a good master for yourself, don't be like me, follow me, you won't get any good! "Liu Qiqiao said with a smile, his smile faded, a bit bitter.
Lan Xiang's eyes reddened slightly, and he said twice in his mouth, "Why did you go out? Don't talk nonsense, Auntie, the future will be better!"
"Others may be okay, to me..." Liu Qiqiao looked down and didn't want to anymore, but didn't want to drag others down: "Even if he doesn't let me go out, I don't have any interest in this place, Lan Xiang, you follow. I really have nothing but hardships..."
"You're here again!" Lan Xiang finished speaking, picked up the clothes Liu Qiqiao had just changed, and went outside. When she called Liu Qiqiao you, she often became the one who shared with her. Sisters who are in trouble and breathe together and share fate. Lan Xiang went out and saw that Liu Qiqiao couldn't see it. Then she wiped her tears fiercely and scolded Qiangwei and Jasmine in her heart. The auntie was rewarded or the festival was celebrated, and the thing was not given to them less. It was not a problem, and she couldn't catch people every day.
Seeing Lan Xiang left, Liu Qiqiao reluctantly walked to the book table in the side hall. She had nothing to do, so she practiced calligraphy. She couldn't read the book. Unless necessary, she only looked for the words on the book. I wrote it most often recently, but that phrase, "The crowd looked for it thousands of Baidu, suddenly looking back, but the person was in the dim light..."
In the past, her favorite thing to write was: "Yun wants clothes to be beautiful, and spring breeze helps Revlon!"
Now, she doesn't think about it anymore, what about Yunshangfang, and Revlon, and what does it matter to her
Yuan Qiluo had it after the new year. At that time, she was not injured and had no relationship with Shen Yunong. The two of them were in the house. Yuan Qiluo was invited to eat in her small courtyard. Yuan Qiluo controlled the business of the three silk and satin shops before and after the new year. , Introduced Liu Qiqiao, and asked Liu Qiqiao’s opinion. After this year, what direction should be the first? Revlon's new flower look was used for Liu Qiqiao to see and ask her opinion.
At that time, Liu Qiqiao was still very interested, and he talked about it with Yuan Qiluo, and even Shen Yunong was left alone.
Now, Liu Qiqiao occasionally remembered that the previous days were like dreams, and she couldn't think about it anymore.
Stroke one by one, although Liu Qiqiao writes seriously, she doesn't know what character she is writing. She only uses all her strength to write, her mind is empty, only one word, one word is written, Lan Xiang Come in, look at her quiet look, and feel relieved. She made some tea for Liu Qiqiao. The Luan melon slices sent by the young master, there is not much left. After drinking for two more days, there is no tea. I can only drink white water.
The people in this mansion have always been snobbish. The seventh aunt has fallen out of favor. Everyone knows. Although the second aunt is in charge of the middle feeder, she is kind, but she does not keep all the people below. Not as she said, she goes to the kitchen these few days. Taking food, one day is not choking back, so Qiangwei and Jasmine can't go. Don't take the anger. Lan Xiang didn't want Liu Qiqiao to listen to her heart. She went quietly and went back to the past. Liu Qiqiao rewarded himself and gave some to the people in the kitchen so that they would not be too harsh on the food.
"Auntie, take a break, come and have some tea!" Lan Xiang held the tea bowl to Liu Qiqiao's face, Liu Qiqiao took it, and just had two sips, only to hear someone call the door at the door.
"Who?" Liu Qiqiao is very strange. Since this period of time, no one has come to her here. Lan Xiang hurriedly said, "Slaves go and see!"
Liu Qiqiao saw Lan Xiang walk out. She put down the tea bowl, wondering who came here and what did she do
Just then Lan Xiang came back and stood outside the door and said to Liu Qiqiao: "Auntie, your brother-in-law is here to see you!"
