Leaning on the rail and smiling at Liu Niang

The lady returned to her mother's house, and the backyard lost its backbone, and the three girls in the small fragrant courtyard didn't need to ask for peace. The wind outside was blowing hard again, so they stayed in their rooms and stayed bored all day long. Niang really never lived such a day without working all day long, so she asked Di to go to the sewing room to beg for some needles, thread, and scraps of fabric to make female reds.

Female celebrities are also tired of doing things, and they think about other things in their minds. It stands to reason that the atmosphere in Chang'an City is very open. One or two, going back so often like a lady is obviously not what the gentleman said, but it is rare.

The lady left for two or three days, Liu Niang was really curious, she took the purse and embroidered two stitches, she couldn't help asking Zhaodi what was going on, but she was jokingly said by Zhaodi: "Our girl It’s really a person who doesn’t go out of the door and doesn’t step in! You don’t even know the famous story of the lady?”

Liu Niang's father is a sour scholar who has tried and failed many times. He is not very capable, but he is very strict with his daughter. He hates women's talkativeness. The legendary story is really unknown.

She also felt a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "Good trick, don't be a fool!"

Zhaodi said seriously: "Our wife is a very great daughter! Does the daughter of General Dingguo Wang's family know? She is a loyal one! A few years ago, the Tartars came and beat us for a long time. I heard that The national treasury was all spent, and the wife's grandfather, father, uncle, eldest brother, and cousin all died in battle. Not to mention how tragic it was, the entire Wang family left only the mother's brother and a single seedling. He is in poor health and has never learned martial arts."

Listening to these words, Liu Niang seemed to recall that her father seemed to have mentioned General Wang a certain year, saying that he was a model of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. Thinking of his lady's sober appearance, Liu Niang inexplicably felt pity I couldn't help but murmured: "I didn't expect my lady to be so, so hard. I thought my life was very hard."

Zhaodi shook her head, then sighed: "That's right, it's the only seedling of the Wang family who often suffers from three illnesses and five disasters. The saint is the wife's aunt, and even the official family watched the uncle grow up. , The lady and the mother went early, and now there is no father, and the only relative left is the lady, so the official family issued an order, saying that the lady should often go back to her mother's house to take care of her!"

Liu Niang was fascinated when she heard that, although she was a little girl who grew up in Chang'an City, the most prestigious person she had ever met was her talented father. thought about it.

Zhaodi sat on the pony tie and buried chestnuts in the brazier, and said while burying them: "My uncle is going to get sick every now and then, this time I'm afraid Dalang came back and said something, the lady was worried, so I went back of."

After burying a plate of chestnuts in the brazier, Zhaodi got up and patted the ashes, and saw that the purse in Liu Niang's hand was almost embroidered, so she thought about it and said to Liu Niang: "Girl, every time I go back to my mother's house, it's always embroidered." Leave Aunt Xingren'er as the housekeeper, I heard from Ah Tian that she takes good care of you, why don't we visit her to thank you?"

Liu Niang thought it was the same, she didn't know these relationships herself, Zhaodi helped her think of everything when she came, she couldn't help but said: "Zhaodi, you are so smart, why are you so kind to me?"

Zhaodi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Good girl, whoever is a maid wants a good girl, not to mention that Zhaodi took a lot of effort to get into the backyard, so she naturally hopes that you can get along well with her! Get down."

Liu Niang was quite embarrassed, and asked again: "Then what should I bring with me?"

Zhaodi took the purse in her hand, found a few handkerchiefs that Liu Niang had made earlier, took a piece of good cloth and wrapped it in a bag, and said, "Have you never seen the lady's personal maid? Let's just talk about it. Look at the girl's dexterity, the handkerchief is interesting, and the purse is also very pretty, so let's take this."

She tidied herself up in a hurry, and quickly dressed up Liu Niang, and changed her into the clothes for meeting guests. The master and servant looked at each other and thought it was good, so they took the cloak and went out. .

It was quite windy outside, and I didn't meet anyone along the way, Zhao Di approached Liu Niang, and whispered: "These maidservants must have quietly found a shelter from the wind and gone to drink tea."

Liu Niang herself also likes to goof around quietly in winter, and she felt very happy in her heart, so she didn't answer Zhaodi's words, the two of them wrapped their cloaks tightly, and Zhaodi led them to the side door of the main courtyard.

Zhaodi knocked on the door and called out the name of her familiar maid, the maid came to open the door, the two exchanged a few words, then Zhaodi took Liu Niang to the back where Xingren'er lived. Cover room.

When Liu Niang and the others went, Xing Ren'er happened to be patrolling the courtyard and returning to her room, she was very happy to see them coming, she still remembered Zhao Di, greeted her kindly, then turned to ask Liu Niang: " Is Miss Li missing something?"

She was originally the maidservant next to the lady, but she heard Zhaodi say that besides the lady and the old mother, Xingren'er's words were the most effective in the main courtyard, Liuniang didn't think so at first, but then Zhaodi talked a lot, thinking about herself It was the old mother who took her into the mansion and Xingren'er sent her to Xiaoxiangyuan, so she felt quite flattered, and seeing that Xingren'er was still so kind, she replied embarrassedly: "Sister is so polite, Liu Niang is just here to talk to you." Sister, thank you!"

She turned around and took the bundle in Zhaodi's hand, opened the same handkerchief and purse to Xingren'er, and chattered about what was embroidered on it and how the purse was put together. She asked Xingren'er: "Give these to Sister, do you like them?"

Seeing that Liu Niang's eyes were shining and wet, Xinger stared at herself again, it was so interesting, she couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear, and said with a big smile: "What's wrong with what the girl gave you?"

Liu Niang also smiled shyly for a while, Xing Ren'er laughed enough, told the little maid at the side to take the new tea given by the lady to make Liu Niang, and said to Liu Niang: "Miss Li really has a heart, I also have a cup of tea here. There is nothing to entertain guests, the former uncle brought some new tea to the wife, and the wife gave me some, the girl should try something new!"

He showed Liu Niang the female red that he had made, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, some of the maidservants in the general's mansion are not good at female red, so I can't always embroider this shoe upper. show me!"

Zhaodi went to make tea with the little maid, leaving only Liu Niang and Xing Ren'er chatting about female celebrities. At first she was a little nervous, but Xing Ren'er could talk, and after a while, Liu Niang smiled and talked a lot up.

The two made shoe uppers together for a while, but Liu Niang just made the work more delicate, and Xing Ren'er praised her for a while, which taught her to be proud and humble at the same time, the expression on her face was very beautiful, Xing Ren'er looked at Even more happy.

Women's friendship is only formed during the conversation, Xingren'er has a good temper, which made Liu Niang feel very close, and she opened her mouth somehow and asked: "Your lady is so talented, why did you marry Mr. Lang? "

Xing Ren'er was obviously stunned for a while when she heard this, and looked back at Zhao Di who was pretending to be dead, and said with a smile: "Although it is said by the parents and the matchmaker, every noble girl in Chang'an City has her own eyes. I just got married, so our husband naturally fell in love with the lady herself, and nodded to get married."

After saying this, she glanced at Zhaodi again, bowed her head and ate tea without saying a word, the room was very quiet for a while.

Liu Niang regretted the words as soon as she uttered them, she was so annoyed, she only wished that there was no regret medicine to take, she secretly cursed herself for being a pig's brain, then got up and said a few words to Xing Ren'er, changed the subject, and hurriedly got up to leave.

This time they walked back faster than when they came, both the master and the servant felt extremely embarrassed, because they stayed in the main courtyard for a long time, and it was almost dark when they left the courtyard, so Zhaodi planned to take Liuniang to take a shortcut from the garden. back around.

The two walked a few steps, Zhao Di couldn't help but pouted and said, "Young lady really can't keep her mouth shut."

Liu Niang was dejected: "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."

Zhaodi held her breath for a while, walked two steps, glanced at Liu Niang secretly, saw that she was looking at her pitifully all the time, she was very upset, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to squeeze Liu Niang's hand, and gave her a big smile Smiling face: "Miss, just be careful next time!"

Seeing that she wasn't angry anymore, Liu Niang said happily, "Yes! I will pay attention to it in the future!"

She stretched out her hand to hold Zhaodi's hand, and the two of them walked toward the garden happily. Before they had walked a few steps into the garden, they saw a man and several women walking up ahead, which shocked Liu Niang. Zhaodi's reaction was even more violent, she stretched out her hand and pulled Liu Niang behind her, pulling her back to stand by the side of the road.

Liu Niang faintly felt something in her heart, her heart was beating so fast, she felt that her palms were all sweaty, she lowered her head and looked straight at the ground.

Zhao Di blocked herself in front of her, and said to the people who had already come in front of her: "The servant girl has seen the Lord, and the Lord is well."

Liu Niang mechanically did the same thing as Zhaodi, she lowered her head as low as possible, she just hoped that this group of people wouldn't stop, don't see her, and go over quickly, go over quickly.

Praying is useless, Zhaodi who was standing in front of her was pushed away vigorously, and a rather tall figure appeared in front of her, she was frightened, and she was about to turn around and run away, but someone grabbed her shoulders, and a The hand with clear knuckles and white jade lifted her chin forcefully.

Lang Jun is really good-looking, Liu Niang's mind is blank, and her personality looks at the person in front of her as if she is out of it. He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, a straight and straight nose, and thin lips with upward corners. The whole person looks really gentle and jade-like Haojilang—if you ignore his snake-like eyes.

Zhao Shiqing hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you the little lady I have adopted?"

He let go of Liu Niang's chin, stretched out a finger with great interest, and gently stroked Liu Niang's cheek. Seeing her trembling with a terrified expression, he seemed to find it quite interesting and chuckled.

Zhaodi was pushed to the ground, she felt that she was so frightened that she didn't even have the strength to stand up, she was trembling all over, she couldn't even look up.

The two women following Zhao Shiqing saw that the little maid did not dare to speak out, and Zhao Shiqing suddenly became interested in this girl, and became anxious. They looked at each other and respectfully said to him: "Mr. It's getting dark, but Shuang Niangzi is still waiting for you, you see?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shiqing let out a sigh, retracted his hand and straightened his cloak, turned around and took a step, then turned to Liu Niang with a bright smile and said, "Then let's go first."
