Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

"Who allowed you to make up the master? It's the other way around, Steward Zhou, write down all the servants who are in the kitchen today and drive them all out of the house!" This was Gui Ma's voice.

Zhilan hurried a few steps to the door of the kitchen, just seeing the situation where swords were on the verge of breaking out.

A fat sister-in-law contradicted her: "I do things by myself, so why bother others. Everyone judges, it is the young master who harmed my daughter Ahua. Although I am a servant, I can't do my best to bully the Zhou family! The eldest young master has done such nasty things, and now my wife has come forward to drive us away. Your Zhou family wants to renege on your debts? Today I must seek justice for my daughter Ahua!" As she spoke, she pulled up a Girl's hand.

The girl Ahua was dressed in coarse cloth and had a simple appearance, with straight eyebrows and eyes, even a little childish, she stood aside with a blushing face and lowered head.

Gui's mother looked at the girl and sneered: "It's ridiculous! Look at your A Hua, she is so stupid and stupid. Our young master has never seen any woman, and what kind of woman do you want? How could you fall in love with a rough envoy? It must be you This shameless daughter pestered our young master, so she posted it up on her own initiative! The young master hasn't said that he is at a disadvantage yet, you still have the nerve to talk about it. Sister-in-law Ma, as the saying goes, 'a slap can't make a sound', this matter You should ask your shameless daughter."

Hearing that, Lan pouted.Even her boudoir has heard about the eldest brother's affairs.

Zhou Yuehua is a well-known romantic son.The most famous of his numerous love affairs is the feat of spending a lot of money between him and the nephew of the city's garrison officer Sun Zongxiang to compete for the top red girl in Qinxiangyuan, which once attracted the attention of the rich and powerful.In the end, it was father who came forward, made an apology, invited a banquet, and gave up the girl to the other party, so the matter was calmed down.

At that time, my father was so angry that he ordered his eldest brother to stay at home and took back the monthly order given to him.Because of these romantic affairs, the eldest wife has admonished the elder brother a lot these years, but the elder brother often relapses.

Today's matter is probably because the big brother rabbit doesn't want to admit it after eating the grass beside the nest.Strange to say, somehow the girls fell for his sweet talk, and Zhilan saw that Mama Gui was about to have Sister-in-law Ma, mother and daughter taken to the woodshed.

During the tugging, there was a sound at the gate, it was father and two elder brothers who had returned.

Zhilan reacted very quickly, and greeted her with a smile: "Father, you are back!"

When the old man took off his coat, he heard a lot of noise in the kitchen, and the noise there seemed to be mixed with a woman's sobbing.

He frowned, and asked the eldest lady who came downstairs slowly: "What's going on?"

The eldest wife forced a smile and said: "The servants did not do a good job, and Mother Gui is reprimanding them."

Zhilan glanced at her inadvertently, and said unintentionally: "Mother, how did I hear that the incident in the kitchen is related to elder brother? Should I ask elder brother to confirm? If it is really a false accusation, how can elder brother suffer injustice?"

"Huh? What has something to do with your eldest brother?" The old man became interested, and turned to ask the eldest wife, "Ma'am, what happened?"

The eldest wife was speechless, and projected her resentful eyes towards Zhilan.

Zhilan put on an innocent smile, and the eldest wife had no choice but to follow Master Zhou to the kitchen.
Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the old man made the decision and just gave some money to drive it out, it was better than the eldest wife dragging someone to the woodshed to inject some kind of infertility medicine, although she didn't see it, she just heard people talking about it.In case it is really as rumored, it is groundless, and it may not be without reason.It was Ah Hua's luck to meet the old man to deal with it today.

Zhou Muqing pulled Zhi Lan to walk behind, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" She didn't answer, but looked at Yue Hua, and Mu Qing could feel Yue Hua's panic.

Mu Qing understood, took Zhi Lan's hand, and said to the old man, "Father, Lan'er and I will go back to the room first." The old man agreed, and the two went upstairs together.

Mu Qing's hands are warm and generous.He was wearing a decent plain dress, a straight tie, gentle eyes, a straight nose, slightly pursed lips and cool hair.Zhilan looked at him, and the best word to describe him was probably a gentleman, gentle as jade.In short, she was at ease with him by her side.The two entered the room together to talk.

"What do you think big brother did again?" Zhi Lan said in a mysterious tone.

"Because of what?" Mu Qing became curious when she said it.He guessed that what happened to Yuehua was probably related to women.

"A Hua, the daughter of Mrs. Ma, the cook, was spoiled by him. The Ma family is so stubborn, they are arguing there! Poor girl Ma, at such a young age, my eldest brother shouldn't have ruined her life like this. If it wasn't for father and you Come back in time, I'm afraid I will be private again."

"I don't understand what big brother thinks, isn't the lesson from the past not enough?" Mu Qing sighed thoughtfully, "But father must have given some money to send their mother and daughter out."

Speaking of Yuehua, although Muqing was calm, Zhilan could read disdain and contempt in his eyes.

"I often hear my elder brother lament that flowers don't last a hundred days, and youths are wasted if people don't flirt." Zhi Lan said.

"Don't talk about him, it's different." Mu Qing gently changed the subject, "Is Mingji sliced ​​duck delicious?"

Zhilan didn't want to mention this matter again, so she reluctantly nodded.

Mu Qing looked at her intently, and slapped his forehead when he thought of something: "Oh, I forgot about all the fuss. Tomorrow, my father and I are going to Echeng. I can't accompany you to the Liyuan Pavilion to listen to the opera."

Zhilan said "oh", with disappointment written all over her face, she pouted at him.

"But~ I prepared a gift for you in advance, wait for me." Mu Qing smiled at her mysteriously and excitedly, and when she opened the door, she turned around and emphasized, "surprise!"

Mu Qing's exaggerated appearance made Zhi Lan cover her mouth and laugh, and she was looking forward to it.When Mu Qing entered the door again, she held a gift box tied with knots in her hand and handed it to her: "Quickly open it and have a look!"

Zhilan was happy to unpack it. Inside the box was a dress with a playful round neck and puff sleeves, tight waist, a big bow, fine lines of woolen plaid, and white pleats on the neckline. Yu Sujing.

She picked it up and walked to the full-length mirror to compare, and said with a smile: "My brother has eyesight, so pretty!"
She just made a comparison, and Mu Qing looked so amazing in the mirror that his heart jumped slightly, and he regretted that he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so he had to give her this gift today, and he couldn't help saying: "Tomorrow ..."

"What's the matter?" Zhi Lan compared her new dress, looking in the mirror, she was acutely aware of Mu Qing's unspoken hesitation.

"It's nothing, this dress really suits you." Feeling her joy, he stopped talking.

The Zhou family's two Fords parked at the gate of Liyuan Pavilion, and Zhilan saw Yuehua, who was sitting in the back row, looking out of the window angrily along the way, presumably the elder brother was still complaining about his talkativeness, and was being scolded by his father for nothing.

Yesterday's Lan asked about the whereabouts of the mother and daughter of the Ma family. Rong's mother sighed and said, "Didn't I give the money and send it out. I heard that the master asked the young master alone, and the young master was asked on the spot so that his face did not look good. , and made my wife mad again."

Zhilan Xin Daoguo ended like this, but she put her heart back in her stomach.

Her mother-daughter relationship with the eldest wife Wang was not good since she was a child, so what if it is even worse now?Taking a peek at Yuehua's dejected and secretly resentful look, he was half gloating.

The car has arrived.The manager of the theater led the guys to meet the door.Reporters were as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. When they saw Zhou Yuehua from a distance, they were like butterflies looking for nectar. They saw the opportunity to approach Yuehua, rushing to ask questions that were rarely asked on weekdays, and Yuehua answered every official article without leaking.

Master Zhou and Zhou Muqing are on a business trip, the Zhou family is led by the Eldest Master, the Eldest Master and Jingru's mother-Wan Linglong are walking at the head, and Yuehua is holding the eldest wife Wang Shi in the middle, followed by the Eldest Master's two concubines and Mrs. Jingru's younger sisters, Zhilan and Jingru were at the end arm in arm.

Zhilan raised her eyes and looked: "Liyuan Pavilion is worthy of being the most luxurious theater in Jiangcheng. The wooden single-door archway erected at the entrance is very magnificent. There are three big characters nominating Liyuan Pavilion on the archway."Looking at the theater building again, it is a small two-story building with flying eaves and brackets, and the color scheme shows elegance and luxury. It is not an ordinary theater garden, and naturally it is not ordinary luxury.The flower cards next to the door are endless, and the poster of Hua Jinfang and Concubine Yang Guifei's appearance is particularly eye-catching.

Jingru looked around and said to Zhilan in a low voice: "Have you heard of the Qi family among the three major families in this city? It is said that the daughters of the Qi family have their own merits, and when they come, I really want to see them."
"Sister, you are much more informed than I am, and I know almost nothing." Zhi Lan expressed admiration.
"No wonder you don't know." Jingru smiled, "No one in your family will talk about this. The second uncle's house has the most rules, and I dare not stay longer every time I come."

Hearing this, Zhilan nodded and said yes, the Zhou mansion seemed to be isolated from the world, the building was full of days and moons, and the world's affairs changed, and the moment they stepped into the black lacquered gate, they stopped.It would be great if the time really stopped for immortality, and there is eternal life in the world!The growth that should be aging still goes with the passage of time. This is the sad thing for Zhilan. As she gets older, she doesn't gain any insight into the world.

She and Jingru chatted in low voices, and suddenly heard the sound of brakes behind them, and the Qi family's car stopped at the door, saying that Cao Cao had arrived, and the two couldn't help standing still and watching curiously.

The reporters went to surround them again, everyone surrounded Mr. Qi to ask questions and take pictures, the butler of Qi's mansion led some servants to line up the reporters together with the theater staff, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Just in time, a middle-aged woman got off the front car.The woman was wearing a cheongsam with brocade and tufted flowers. She had been pampered for a long time and cultivated a noble air all over her body. She was extremely beautiful, and there was a bit of charm in her eyebrows and eyes, but at this moment her expression was restrained and pleasing to the eye.She directed a few servants to take care of them, and personally helped a gray-haired and majestic old lady from the car.

Mr. Qi rushed over and carefully supported the old lady together with the beautiful lady, and a fellow hurriedly led the way. This momentum made the noise quiet unconsciously, and even the members of the Zhou family stopped.

When Mr. Qi and Mrs. Mei helped the old lady to pass by Zhou's family, they smiled at everyone, everyone couldn't help but saluted, and they went straight to help the old lady into the door.

The second car descended one after another were female relatives. There was a woman who was a little fatter, but her figure could still be seen from the past. Her gestures were uniquely romantic, and her attire was quite red and purple. She skillfully posed in front of the camera. I don't mind the shape, and I don't mind that the flashlights are all focused on me.

Yue Hua and the girl beside her, Yan'er, jokingly said: "Believe it or not, based on my experience, this lady is either from an opera troupe or from a brothel."

The eldest wife blamed him for being talkative and gave him a glare.

Wan Linglong smiled and said to the eldest lady: "Hua'er has good eyesight. The old lady who just passed by is the head of the Qi family - Mrs. Qi, and the person who supports her is the second concubine Bichun, Hua'er said The third concubine is Tai Yaochun. Brothers and sisters, you don’t know, Bichun was born in a small family, and she is the daughter of Tailor Xu on Yunyang Street; Unknown little tricks; only the fourth concubine, Song Yuchun, is from a scholarly family. They didn't have their current names before they married Master Qi. It was Mrs. Qi who asked for a fortune-telling, saying that it was changed to what it is now to ensure the prosperity of the Qi family. Hey, Fourth Auntie didn't come, she must be sick again."

Zhilan was amazed at Wan Linglong's well-informed news, Jingru showed an insignificant expression, and whispered in her ear: "Don't forget, my mother's name is Linglong."

"You talk too much, let's go." Elder Zhou said unhappily.

Everyone went in, Zhou Yuehua intentionally stayed behind, and Zhilan wanted to see the ladies of the Qi family with the same purpose, Jing Ru accompanied Zhilan to walk behind.
