The collapse of the Kangxi Dynasty [Qing wear + Red House]

Near noon, West Courtyard.

The girl in a pink spring shirt lazily leaned against Mrs. Bamboo, poked a small piece of cold melon into her mouth, and couldn't help frowning her delicate brows.

Ting Lan, the maid who was waiting on the side, saw her and persuaded in a low voice:

"The wife said that the girl's house doesn't eat too cold things, and we have halved the daily ice cubes here, and said that it will be delivered when the heat is really heavy in July and August. The girl bears it." Endure it!"

On the other side, Zhilan with a more immature face snorted coldly: "My wife is used to talking! Why didn't I see her reduce the share of the fourth sister? The second master's side was iced in April. pot--

In those few days when it was rainy and sultry, the charcoal basin was burned to dry the moisture while the charcoal basin was placed to drive away the heat. I was not afraid of the cold and the heat, but I was tossing people to death? "

Ting Lan Suri was a steady person, seeing what she said didn't sound like her, she hurriedly stopped: "Shut up! Who in the whole house doesn't know that the wife is the most kind and kind? She has always treated the girls like her own, and treated us girls It is even better!

When you spread your words, you know that you are a girl who loves you dearly, and you are always outspoken, and those who don't understand think that our girl has resentment towards my aunt! "

Zhilan pouted, but she also knew that Tinglan was doing it for her own good, so she didn't say anything.

The girl lowered her eyes, a cold look flashed in her eyes, but she was very gentle when she raised her head: "Yes, my wife is the most kind and kind person, but she seems to be biased in her actions. After all, sister Min is very angry when she is young, brother Zheng It is even more difficult to prepare for the end, even the old lady has given orders, everything can be done closely to him, after all, he is the son of the legitimate son, and the second son of the legitimate son has to seek fame by himself, so don't blame the madam for being distressed."

What she said was really interesting, and Zhilan couldn't help but become arrogant again after her extinguished arrogance: "That's not true! Although the old lady and the Duke of the country have something to say, the wife takes it too seriously! Second Master Zheng In the future, I will only be of the same status as those behind me, so I am ashamed to pass all my sisters over! Really..."

The more she said it, the less it seemed, but the girl just listened with a smile. Ting Lan held back at first, but finally couldn't help it, and persuaded: "It's enough to understand some things in my heart. If you say it, you will become a girl." No."

After all, I finally persuaded Zhilan to go, "Look why the mung bean and lily soup that the girl said when she woke up early still hasn't come." He took a basin of well water with his own hands, took out a fan, and fanned it slowly across the basin. .

The girl didn't raise her head, she just looked at the newly dyed rouge color on her finger, but said in her mouth: "Why do you need to do this yourself? Let the little maid do it. It's just that the little maid is too young and weak , Finding a mother-in-law is also necessary."

Ting Lan smiled lightly: "Let them come, who knows if it will be more serious, if the girl is hot or let the girl get cold and hurt her body? You have to do it yourself to be at ease!"

He said again: "Zhilan seems to be a capable and loyal person, but her mouth is missing a door, and her temper is a little anxious."

The girl seemed to be satisfied with her nails at last, and raised her eyebrows:

"I think it's because you're being too careful. But Zhilan only speaks casually in our own room, but she's the most well-behaved outside—"

My room is no better than the one in the East Wing. The word 'long' is used for nothing, but even the maids and women in the room can't control me. Here, if you are more casual, what are you afraid of? "

Ting Lan smiled gently:

"The girl is protected by our uncles and gentlemen, and our aunt is a serious and good family member, so naturally she is not comparable to the one in the east wing.

It's just that now that the girl is grown up, it's the critical time. No matter how much my aunt can get the Duke of the country to see her, and no matter how decent the uncles and gentlemen are with the Duke of the country, they can't go over the wife to propose a marriage for the girl——

The girl should treat her as a slave, and even if I talk about it for a while, I will always be careful to sail for ten thousand years! "

This Ting Lan said that she was born in a family in the Duke's mansion, but her father had received the great kindness of "our uncles and gentlemen" in her mouth, and her brother was redeemed by the Duke's grace, and now he is also in "our uncles and gentlemen". Gentlemen" listen to--

Speaking of this, we must first explain who these "our uncles and gentlemen" are.

But it turned out that, according to the etiquette law, I didn't realize that I was a concubine, so I could only recognize the brother of the aunt's family as my uncle, but this girl is no better than others: Miss Jia's aunt Yu was born as a slave, because of She was in love with the Duke of the country when she was young, and when the love was strong, the blood collapsed after giving birth. She just earned a face from her aunt, and Miss Jia almost became a prostitute under the name of her wife. Lifting is also a lowly concubine.

This girl, um, is the second girl of the Duke's Mansion. She is about two years older than Miss Jia. Her aunt Qin's love was not as strong as that of her aunt at first, but the Qin family is also a member of the Duke's Mansion. The subordinates are no different from ordinary slaves, but they are from trilogy. Her father and grandfather all went to the battlefield with the old man and made meritorious deeds. The Duke of the country, and continued to be loyal to the current Duke of the country, even if he did not love him as much as his family, he was respected and dignified.

Even Grandpa Guo would occasionally say "how about your uncle" by mistake, even if he said it in front of his wife and then flirted with him, the wife would be magnanimous and just pretend she didn't listen, but it's no wonder Ting Lan is so cautious, Didn't notice this rule.

Jia Yanyan, the second daughter of Jia, didn't care much, she always came and went in front of her wife and uncle, the difference was only the difference between "Uncle of Liu Qin's family" and "Uncle of Shi's family", how could she feel Ting Lan's words? Something wrong?

Instead, I am grateful for the loyalty of this servant girl, and I am not very willing to let him out.

This thought flashed in my heart, but I asked: "The one in the east wing went to the old lady's place again?"

Ting Lan smiled: "That's right, I don't know what she's trying to do? I heard that the little girl at the gate annoys her."

Jia Yanyan yawned: "Forget it, the old lady may not have the energy to take care of her affairs, even if she takes care of it, it won't bother me, let's just ignore her."

Ting Lan was puzzled: "The eldest girl and you are very close in age, if the old lady came forward, she would pick out the good one..."

Jia Yanyan laughed:

"How many years has the old lady not gone out? In the past two years, there have been constant soups and medicines. I looked at it coldly, even picking a daughter-in-law for brother Xi! I heard from my aunt that I don't know how to go to my natal nephew, daughter-in-law and grandnephew. How many letters have been entrusted to the daughter-in-law and how many good things have been said, but how can there be any good people to choose for the one in the East Wing? The left is just a candidate provided by the wife, it’s better to watch it, don’t be fooled too much That's all.

As for me, although my aunt said that it is not easy to come forward to see me directly, at least there are uncles here, and if you are optimistic about the person, tell my father, no matter what the wife thinks in her heart, she will always listen to my father on the surface, right? "

Ting Lan nodded: "That's exactly what I said, it's just to save face, the face still depends on my wife to some extent, so don't be too careless, girl."

Jia Yanyan stuffed another piece of melon into her mouth, she frowned and refused to eat it, and pushed the whole plate to Ting Lan: "Got it, I can be careful in front of my wife, it's not that the one in the east wing can't sit still because of trivial matters." Yes. Even my aunt, she is always respectful——

Let's take a break and eat two slices of melon to moisten your throat, so that you can have the strength to talk about me more. "

When Ting Lan said "girl", Jia Yanyan laughed out loud, and the master and servant chatted and laughed for a while, forgetting that the heat was unbearable.
