Early the next morning, Aru, who had used powder to cover the blue eyes, came to help the young lady get up.
Qi Yue had already gotten up. Because she had experienced such an incredible thing, she barely fell asleep. She was confused for a while at dawn and was struggling with the clothes on the bed.
"How do you put this thing on?" Qi Yue muttered as he tried to put it on, and when he heard the door ring, he hurriedly pretended to have just gotten up.
Presumably the maid has a job of helping her master dress.
"How did you sleep, young lady?" As Aru opened the curtains and raised the tent, the morning light poured in, and the room suddenly became brighter.
"Okay." Qi Yue said with a smile under her eyes.
Aru poured her a cup of hot tea, and Qi Yue slowly took it in her mouth while pretending to look at Aru casually.
Aru came over holding the small white porcelain bowl beside the bed.
Is this a mouthwash basin? Qi Yue vomited in it naturally and marveled in her heart. She studied it for a long time last night. It was made of white porcelain. It was a good one. It was small and cute. She thought it was for viewing and playing. No.
Think of it as nothing more than a spittoon.
In ancient times, everyone in the Hou Mansion had unusually high levels of food and clothing.
After rinsing her mouth and then having tea, Qi Yue walked a few steps back and forth in the room and stretched her body.
"Today is a good day." She said to Aru.
The best place to start a conversation is with the weather, which should apply to both ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Aru smiled and nodded.
"It's been raining, and the flowers and plants outside the door are so bright that it makes people's hearts tremble." She said, handing something to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue took it and looked at it, and thought again, "Toothbrush."
Of course it cannot be compared with modern ones. It was stained with salt. Qi Yue happily brushed her teeth, and then Ah Ru washed her face and makeup.
What an evil old society... This is so enjoyable...
"Ahao, this girl is being playful again." Aru said while looking out.
Ah Hao is good at combing her hair. It was because of this that the old lady gave it to the young lady, so she has always done the combing.
"Why are you so anxious? We have nothing to do." Qi Yue said, while using various hairpins in the jewelry box to try to pull her hair into various styles.
"You have a good temper, but you spoiled her." Aru laughed, and while saying this, he kept wiping his hands and feet and tidying up the room.
"Do you think it's okay to do my hair like this?" Qi Yue turned around and asked her from time to time.
The master and servant were asking and answering questions, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. They were happy when they heard a dispute outside the door, including Ah Hao's voice.
"Look, what's wrong?" Qi Yue said immediately.
Aru was waiting for this sentence and ran out after hearing the words.
As she left, the courtyard door opened, and Qi Yue could hear the conversations outside.
"...This is the lotus I picked first..."
"..Who asked you to pick it off! This is what our aunt has long promised..."
"..Our young lady..."
"...Young lady, don't waste this beautiful flower, give me your little hoof, and I'll tear your mouth apart with this nonsense..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a cry of pain, he must have suffered a loss.
"Which courtyard are you from? How can you hit someone?" Ah Ru looked at the little girl who pushed Ah Hao to the ground and snatched the lotus flowers from her arms.
Because when Qi Yue and the Crown Prince got married three years ago, in order to add to the happiness, the mansion issued a group of older maids, paired them with boys, got married, and most of their jobs were changed, so a new batch of maids were brought in.
Girl, she followed the young lady into Qiutong Courtyard and was not very familiar with these new people.
Looking at this girl, she is twelve or thirteen years old. She is wearing a green shirt and blue cloth trousers that are not old. She has a pointed head. She is the rough girl used to sweep and run errands who cannot get into the house.
Since the old lady left, the rules in the house have become more and more relaxed. Haven't these girls been trained? Even if they can't recognize people, they should recognize Ahao's waist. How dare they show their teeth and claws like this?
Aru was talking, but the little girl here didn't pay attention at all. Despite her small body, her movements were very flexible. She snatched the lotus in a few moves, looked up at Qiutongyuan, with a look of disdain, and rushed to Aru.
If he made a sound, he turned around and ran away.
A Ru was trembling with anger. Originally, she could just say sarcastic words, and she was okay in terms of face, but now such a rough girl comes to the door...
"Stop." She caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed the little girl, raised her eyebrows and yelled, "Who did you learn the rules from? I've rebelled against you!"
Ah Hao also followed, and while Ah Ru caught her, he snatched the lotus flower with his hands.
"Not to mention the status of you and me, I picked the lotus first, so there is no reason for you to snatch it away halfway. You are too overbearing. The flowers and plants in the house are all yours. Could it be that the CD you like belongs to others?
Can't pick it off?" she said angrily.
"You don't matter, you are here to teach me a lesson. People say that you people in Qiutongyuan are not even cats and dogs." The little girl said with her nose turned up, trying to push Aru away and grab the lotus.
Aru knew that there were many unpleasant things said behind his back, but he never expected that it would be so difficult to hear.
"The young lady is getting married through a matchmaker. The old lady made the decision herself. I am the one who requested the emperor's decree. I, Aru, am also the person in front of the old lady after all. I actually said... I actually said such a treasonous thing! Tell me, who said that?
, I will sue her right now, we must fight this lawless and unruly person." She was shaking like chaff, grabbed the little girl and shouted sternly.
The little girl was frightened, her eyes dodge, she was anxious to get away but couldn't, so she turned around and bit Aru's hand. Aru didn't expect this girl to be so rough, so she retracted her hand with an ouch, and gave the little girl a slap.
hand.
The little girl covered her face and ran away.
Aru was angry but shouted at you to stop running and chased him for a few steps but failed to catch up.
Ah Hao pulled her and persuaded her to go back to the yard.
"It's from Aunt Zhu's yard..." She whispered to A'ru, "It's from outside... The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked... Sister, don't be angry. It's too embarrassing to be angry with her."
Just two months ago, my wife took the decision to bring back a woman whom the Marquis had raised outside.
"Yes, even people like that have entered the house, what rules are there..." Aru murmured, the original anger was replaced by sadness, and his expression was depressed, yes, the old lady has been there for three years, and in these three years,
So much has changed…..
Ah Ru did not enter the house, and asked Ah Hao to speak to the young lady so that she would not worry. He went into the small kitchen on the pretext of preparing breakfast.
Here Ah Hao entered the house, not feeling depressed at all, but instead arranged the lotus flowers with a bit of triumphant pride.
"The lotuses in the lake bloom late, and only the ones under the bridge in the middle of the lake bloom early. I had known I was eyeing this one. I knew it had rained yesterday and would bloom today. So I ran over there early in the morning, and sure enough..." She
He said happily, "Young Madam, do you think it looks good?"
Qi Yue smiled and nodded in praise, and Ah Hao's face was even more smiling, but because of the fight just now, his hair was a little messy, which made him look a little funny.
"Someone saw the jealousy and came to snatch it with me, so you have to worry about it." She did not forget what Aru asked her to report, and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing. What's a good thing if no one grabs it? It shows that you have good taste." Qi Yue said with a smile.
Ah Hao happily thanked me.
"I'm going to help the young lady comb her hair..." she said, while trying to help Qi Yue untie her hair. Before she picked up the comb, she heard a clang at the door.
"Aru, come out!"
A female voice sounded outside the door, and with this shout, the ajar door was kicked open, and four or five people poured in.
The leader is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a fish-white floral straight-fitting thin shirt, a pink skirt, and a red belt around her waist. She is tall and has a handsome face. She slightly raises her pointed chin and stands.
In the courtyard.
Behind her were several maids of the same age, only wearing green or bright yellow girdles, and all of them had angry looks on their faces.
Aru came out of the kitchen and looked at the girl.
"It's Sumei, what do you want from me?" she said, with surprise in her eyes as she saw an acquaintance.
The person pulled out a little girl from behind.
"Is it her?" Sumei asked.
That little girl was the one who snatched the lotus just now. She was dragged by Sumei and looked at Aru fiercely.
"That's her," she said.
Ah Ru understood in his heart what was happening, and the joy on his face disappeared.
"Su Mei, I heard that you are working as an errand for Aunt Zhu..." she said.
Before she finished speaking, she saw Sumei slap her in the face with a raised hand.
A crisp slap sounded in the courtyard, and everyone inside and outside was stunned.
Aru covered her face and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"You don't need to worry about where I am on duty." Sumei said with a snort, "It's up to the master to beat a dog. Sister Aru, you have been with the old lady for so long, and the old lady has only been there for three years, and you are already confused?
"
She emphasized the tone in the old lady, as well as in both parts.
Tears welled up in Aru's eyes. He stared at the girl who was younger than him, and it seemed that he could still see her timid and fawning look back then.
"Whatever sister wants to do, just say it..."
"..Sister, teach me, I'm not sensible..."
"..Being able to help my sister is my blessing..."
Her tears finally fell down drop by drop.
"That's true."
A female voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone present looked around, and saw a woman standing at the door of the house. She didn't comb her hair. She was wearing a coat, using a hairpin to pick her nails slowly, and looked over with a half-smile.
In recent years, everyone has been keeping away from Qiutongyuan. In addition, the young lady never goes out to maintain her health. Everyone can hardly remember her appearance. However, when they actually saw her, they recognized her at a glance. After all,
The young lady's face is very good, and it is enough to be unforgettable.
"Young Madam..." Sumei bowed her head and saluted, with no trace of fear on her face. When she was about to say something, Qi Yue spoke first.
"Okay, Zhang Zui." She said calmly.
Ah Hao, who was standing behind her and was already trembling with anger, rushed out after hearing the words and slapped Sumei hard across the face.
Just like Aru, she didn't expect the person to hit her immediately when she opened her mouth. Sumei didn't react and was actually slapped.
Ah Hao's slap has accumulated a lot of old and new grudges. In line with the principle of salvage one at a time, the new nails on her hands did not shrink. After the slap, Sumei not only screamed in pain, but also had other things on her face.
There were two scratch marks on the blue and white marks, and blood seeped out.
"You, you dare to hit me!" She screamed, feeling the burning pain on her face. She stretched out her hand to touch it again, and it was stained with blood, and her face was disfigured!
This appearance is her life! Sumei almost fainted, and the girls who came with her also rushed up to catch Ah Hao.
Ah Hao had received the order in advance and succeeded in the attack without any hesitation. He ran back to Qi Yue in three or two steps.
"Kneel down for me." Qi Yue shouted in a loud voice.
The noisy girls were frightened and fell silent, staring blankly at Qi Yue who was standing holding the door.
"That's right. When you beat a dog, it depends on the master. Who are you? You came to me and beat and scolded my girl?" Qi Yue knocked on the door and shouted, "Are you blind?
My master is dead!"
There was a slap, and the girls trembled in fright. The status of the Marquis Mansion was very dignified, and due to inertia, one of them couldn't help but kneel down. When one knelt down, the others immediately followed suit and knelt down. Although Sumei
I was reluctant in every possible way, but I had to kneel down.
Here, Qi Yue took advantage of the girls to lower their heads, took a few breaths, and quickly shook his hands.
I used too much force and almost broke my shooting hand. It was because it was my first time to act in this kind of scene and I was not very proficient in the business...
He should have smashed a teacup, teapot, vase or something, but in Qi Yue's eyes, those things, which are genuine antiques and fine goods from official kilns, are too valuable, and he is too mentally stressed to handle them. (To be continued)
