The flowers are bright and willows are beautiful in May, especially the pond full of hibiscus, which is in full bloom.
A little maid wearing an apricot red singlet was running in a hurry and almost fell down several times.
But she didn't care, she smiled like a sunflower facing the sun.
"Isn't that Ziyun who just arrived to serve the second young lady?" When the servants in the mansion saw her, they said, "Why is this girl so flustered?"
"This girl is only fourteen," said the woman who was sweeping the fallen leaves aside. "She has just arrived in front of the master, and it is the time to show her courtesy."
"Whose job does she work for?" asked the gardener.
"Cui Gu," the mother-in-law said, "that girl is crazy for some reason. She either yells or talks nonsense. The second girl was kind-hearted and rewarded her with a hundred taels of silver. The princess also rewarded her with silver."
, let my parents take me home."
"One hundred taels is not too little, you don't even want her wedding money, right?" the gardener asked again.
"We are the most lenient person in our house. How can we ask for money from her when she is like this? Not to mention she is like this. Even if she is not sick or in trouble, she has served her for enough years, and the master is paying for it.
They decided to marry themselves, and they were also rewarded with the money for their marriage ceremony." said the mother-in-law.
"This one hundred taels of silver is enough to cure the disease." The gardener laughed and said, "I'm afraid it won't be used yet."
"Isn't it useless?" The mother-in-law smacked her lips and shook her head, "People are dead, how can we cure any disease?!"
The gardener's scissors fell on the ground. He didn't bother to pick them up and asked, "When did it happen? Why did he die?"
"I died last night," the mother-in-law said with a sigh, "our second girl's sister-in-law is her cousin, so she knows."
"You were just crazy, why did you die?" The gardener still couldn't believe it.
"Who knows? She said she just complained of a headache, saying that there was grass growing in her head, and she asked her to pull it out quickly." The mother-in-law couldn't help but feel a little sad as she said, "How can grass grow in a person's head? She is crazy.
Talking nonsense. Then I stopped shouting and making trouble. I just lay there with only air coming out and no air coming in."
"Oh, it's such a pity that I'm so young." The gardener also sighed, "I originally thought that we could be close to each other so that we could get married to their family.
To tell you the truth, I have a nephew who has some problems with his legs and feet, but he is smart and capable, and he can definitely support a family."
"Hey, what's the use of talking about this now? We put it in a thin-skinned coffin in the middle of the night and carried it outside the city before dawn." The mother-in-law said, "She has been serving the master all these years, and she has done a lot of good.
Reward. These things together are enough to support her parents for the rest of their lives."
"That's right. She is sick herself, and the master rewarded her with so much money. Even if she is a good person, her parents won't be able to get so much money if they take her back and sell her." The gardener finally bent down and sold her.
The scissors were picked up.
Blow the soil above and continue pruning flowers and trees.
The lives of poor people are worthless, so this is already a good result.
"This morning, her mother came in to kowtow to her master and thank her. She was wearing the clothes that Cuigu wore when she was working as an errand in the mansion." The mother-in-law said, "Although they don't have a son, they have this money and they will have something to rely on for the rest of their lives."
.”
Let’s talk about this little maid Ziyun. She ran straight to Zeng Ci, and without even having time to catch her breath, she said: “Master Ke... is here... in the front... and the prince... in... the study...
...playing chess..."
"Why are you running in such a hurry? What's important? Take a break and drink some water." Zeng Ci looked at her and smiled softly, as if the breeze was blowing over the white lotus.
"Thank you...Second Miss, slave...you are not thirsty..." Ziyun said while gasping for air.
"You can take this plate of bamboo leaf cake and eat it," Zeng Ci said, pointing to a plate of dim sum on the stone table. "The dim sum made by the new Suzhou chef is too sweet, and I can't bear to eat it."
The little girl thanked the reward and went down with the snacks with a smile.
"Girl, our eldest son always likes to eat finger rice dumplings the most," the eldest maid next to her said, "You don't want to eat them, why don't you give these to them."
After hearing this, Zeng Ci burst into laughter and said, "You girl, you've done a good job in front of me. There's no need for an excuse to go there. I've been going to big brother's study often, so now I'm going to see one of them's chess skills."
higher."
The two maids were naturally happy after hearing this. Master Ke is a rare handsome man, not to mention that the second lady is obviously interested in him.
"Sister Mingwan, when you went to Ke's house with the princess and the girl that day, was his wife really as beautiful as that?" He asked Zeng Ci to go to Zeng Li's maid to ask another maid.
"To be honest, although Mrs. Ke is not too young, she is indeed a beauty. No wonder people say that her son is like his mother. Mr. Ke in his family has a strong back and a beard. How can he be gentle at all?" Ming Wan said and covered his face.
Smile straight away.
"How can you talk about the elders of other families if there are no rules?!" Zeng Ci scolded, "What does that sound like to others?"
Mingwan immediately stopped laughing and honestly didn't dare to make any mistakes again.
Zeng Li's study is very spacious, with all the partitions open.
There is a large desk, a piano table, a chess table, and the shelves on the north wall are full of books.
To the east is Bogujia and to the west is Baobao Pavilion.
Today is another day for Chen Siwen to treat Zeng Nian, and Ke Wangchen still comes with him.
The difference from last time is that both Zeng and Li brothers are at home, so naturally they accompany Ke Wangchen.
"Don't you prepare some snacks when you have a guest?" Zeng Ci walked in with a smile, and the two maids behind him each held a plate of pastries.
"I asked them to do it, but you came faster." Zeng Li said with a smile.
"Brother, you're going to lose, aren't you? I'll bring you some snacks, maybe I can help you win the game." Compared to Zeng Nian, Zeng Ci liked to joke more.
"We have just started the game, how can we tell the difference? Let me tell you, you can watch the game from the side, but you are not allowed to make a sound. Watching chess without speaking is a true gentleman, do you understand?" Zeng Li smiled and nodded at Zeng Nian, he
My sister is so smart that she is no match for her in chess, and she never helps others but herself.
"Okay, okay, I'll just watch and not say anything." Zeng Ci nodded repeatedly.
Ke Wangchen held the white chess piece and held a white jade chess piece between his index and middle fingers. He couldn't tell whether his hand was white or whether the chess piece was whiter.
When a man grows up like this, I don’t know what God thinks.
Every time Zeng Ci saw him, her heartbeat would become extremely fast, so fast that it would break out of control, like a deer bumping into each other in the forest, or like a sudden rain breaking duckweed.
Zeng Ci recalled the first time she and Ke Wangchen met countless times in her mind.
The weather at the end of April was full of falling flowers.
The four eyes met each other in amazement, forming a heart-wrenching scene.
She just realized that her previous love was not pure at all.
Mixed with jealousy and obsession, if you like someone you like it, it's not really like it, it's just taking it by force.
