"Why are you here, girl?"
It took several maids to send Xue Baochai into the room and prepare some things. When he turned around and came out, he saw Lin Daiyu leading Zijuan and Xueyan into the hall with lanterns.
Everyone was caught off guard. For a moment, the little girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
However, one person was quite astute and knew that it was not appropriate to admit Miss Lin to the hospital at this time. It was a quiet night, but if Miss Lin got closer, the sounds of play in grandma's room might be particularly clear to my ears.
"Girl, can you get used to living in the yard? If there is anything inappropriate or missing, just tell us girls."
The girl secretly thought, how could the sounds and movements in the room stain the ears of a clean girl. They were the maids who always served the grandmothers. They were used to hearing all kinds of noises and were too embarrassed to say anything at the sound.
Now he was standing in front of Miss Lin, blocking the road. It was difficult for the girl to go down the hall steps directly into the courtyard.
The other girls followed this man, feeling terrified. In my ears, I could also hear the faint sounds coming from the room inside. The unreserved sound passed through several doors and then came here. It was difficult to distinguish it without listening carefully.
It's just Grandma Feng's occasional loud laughter, noises, and curses that can be heard clearly even in the hallway. I blame myself for not doing things well, welcoming Grandma Bao into the room, but forgetting to close the courtyard door immediately.
Suddenly, Miss Lin frowned slowly, listened attentively, and asked curiously: "What's the commotion inside? Did you invite Sister Bao in just now?"
Lin Daiyu, who was simple-minded, did not know the reason for this voice.
The maids were even more afraid that Lin Daiyu would find out the truth, so they replied: "Grandma Bao has entered the room. Tonight, Grandma Bao, Grandma Feng and our eldest grandma are discussing things in the room."
"What are you talking about to make such a noise?"
How dare the maids tell the truth? Who doesn't know the temperament of Miss Lin in front of her? This big vinegar jar is more sour than Grandma and stronger than Grandma Feng.
Besides, no one dared to spread the news tonight.
The grandmothers were thinking that their uncle was about to leave Beijing, so they had fun before leaving.
Zijuan is a few years older, and they are maids who understand the pleasures of the house earlier than their sisters. At the moment, I heard a faint sound, and heard the occasional voice of Sister Feng. Zijuan's face quietly turned red.
"Since they are talking about business, let's go back. The girl has been feeling unwell these past few days, so it's not advisable to blow in the cool breeze late at night."
The maid in Grandma Rong's yard heard this and immediately answered with joy.
"Sister Zijuan is right, my maid will send the girl back to the hospital." The girl just wanted to get rid of Lin Daiyu in front of her.
"Why don't they listen to what they say? Since you invited Bao Yatou, why don't you go a few steps to the next door and call me." Lin Daiyu's face suddenly changed. It’s not about scarcity but about inequality. If everyone was the same, there wouldn’t be any complaints.
Treating them differently, Lin Daiyu would naturally have to say something due to her temperament. Hun didn't look down on the little maids in Qin's courtyard, "Everyone has remembered that Brother Rong is leaving Beijing. They are the only ones who have good intentions, but I am the only one who has no good intentions."
When the maid heard this, she knew that Miss Lin had misunderstood. Miss Lin thought that several grandmothers were discussing how to send her uncle off.
They didn't dare to speak at all, let alone move.
Zijuan quietly took Lin Daiyu's hand and said softly: "Girl, why do you need to care about them? I'll just meet some grandma tomorrow and ask them. Let's go back to the courtyard now. Maybe they are worried that the girl will be early." Go to sleep so I won’t be disturbed.”
"I haven't slept yet, and now that I'm here, I want to hear what they have to say." She didn't want to join in the fun.
Daiyu, who has always been sensitive, now has a relationship with Brother Rong that seems close but not close, distant but not distant. She was worried that something was wrong. She was afraid that Feng Yatou, Bao Yatou and Rong Ge's wife were talking behind her back about how to deal with her relationship with Rong Ge'er.
Otherwise, why would you leave yourself alone?
After hearing her words, all the maids became anxious.
The little girl in Grandma Rong's Qin family's yard didn't dare to stop her. She just watched Miss Lin pass by with a cold face and a snort, then walked down the hall steps and walked slowly through the yard to the main house.
"Sister..." The girl who was blocking Lin Daiyu at the beginning could only look at Zijuan helplessly and asked Zijuan for help, asking Zijuan to take Miss Lin back. He hurriedly whispered: "If the girl can't hear it, can the sister hear what's going on inside?"
Zijuan heard it, and she heard it clearly after just walking a few steps into the yard.
The confused sounds, the voices of men and women, made Zijuan, an older girl, blush and feel even more uncomfortable.
The closer I get, the clearer the sound becomes.
Crying, laughter, um, squeaking.
Zijuan wanted to pull the girl's sleeve to stop her, but she stretched out her hand and saw the girl's face turned red under the lights on the eaves.
Obviously, the girl now knew what was going on inside.
The girl is still unwilling to leave after knowing this, so how can she, a maid, stop her. Zijuan knows better than anyone else that Lin Daiyu has been sick these days worrying about gains and losses.
Otherwise, Miss Lin would not have come to live with Baochai in Dongfu even though she was not feeling well.
The girl wanted to make things clear between the two of them before Uncle Xiao Rong left Beijing, so that they would remember each other. Similarly, Zijuan also knew that the girl, like the grandmothers in Dongfu, was even more afraid of Uncle Xiao Rong having another accident after experiencing Uncle Xiao Rong falling at the foot of Xiaoqingliang Mountain.
This time Uncle Xiao Rong left Beijing, and the sensitive girl was more nervous than anyone else.
Firstly, he was afraid that something would happen to Uncle Xiao Rong, and secondly, he was afraid that this vague relationship would end without any problem.
Distance plus time are the biggest threats to relationships. Emotions that are inherently unclear can easily suffer a crushing blow in this situation.
Several people stopped in front of the steps of the corridor, listening to the clanging, lingering, chiming, and pounding sounds inside.
No one made a sound, and in the quiet night, I could only feel my own rapid heartbeat and the heavier breathing of several people around me.
"What are they making a fuss about?"
After changing her clothes, Mrs. You had arrived outside Grandma Qin's courtyard. Before she entered, she saw a group of girls standing inside through the hall door. I am very curious as to why they all stop there as if they are possessed by evil spirits.
Under the dark sky, several people lined up and stood quietly in front of the bright lights on the eaves.
Looking at their backs, it was indescribably weird.
"Madam." Yindie called softly and looked at Youshi inquiringly.
Youshi shook her head slightly and was helped by Yindie to cross the large threshold of the hall. As soon as I entered the hall, I heard the strange voices of several women in the room.
Suddenly, Youshi's face turned blood red.
Looking at the backs of the people standing in the courtyard, it was clear that apart from the maids in Qin's courtyard, it was Lin Daiyu who was leading the maids around her.
Another long sound was heard.
I saw that the legs of the girls in the front yard could not help but tremble, and Youshi secretly gritted her teeth. He was cursing in his heart: Ronger, this bastard, doesn't know how to show mercy to her. The voice sounded like it was coming from Miss Bao, and it was accompanied by Feng Lazi's proud laughter and maid Xiao Hong's confused voice.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
There were so many women in the room.
What a ridiculous fuss.
The faintly audible sound that followed was very clear to Youshi's ears. I don't know what picture flashed in my mind, I slowly lowered my head, bit my lower lip, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.
The inner house has deep passages and towering walls on both sides.
A waning moon was hanging in the night sky. The wife who was walking in a hurry came out of the hall and walked sadly in the aisles. The moonlight above her head cast a cold light, and the maid behind her held a yellow lantern.
The daughter's shadow fell on the road and was reflected on the wall.
A shadow of the moon, a shadow of light.
The clear light swept away the turmoil in my heart, and the double shadow invaded my heart and stirred up other emotions.
One shadow is sad and long, one shadow is heart-breaking and heavy.
The wife stepped on the shadow every step she took, once and again. Wherever the shadow fell, her feet stepped on it. And these two shadows were not only on the road and the high wall, but also on her heart.
The clear cold moon cannot illuminate the moisture in the corners of the eyes; the yellowing lights cannot reflect the sad face on the front.
Everyone makes mistakes in life, and these mistakes are often the regret and hatred that future generations will see when they look back. The mistake in my wife's heart was that she entered Jia's house and married Jia Zhen.
"Mrs……"
The ignorant maid held a lantern in one hand and lifted her robe and skirt slightly for the wife with the other hand. The person crossed the threshold of the hall and entered his own yard.
"Why is my wife crying and being scolded by the master again?"
"Does Madam still feel pain? When Rong'er grows up, Rong'er will come and protect Madam."
"Madam, Ronger wants to live in the west today... It's not because of Brother Feng. She always bullies Ronger. Ronger doesn't like Brother Feng."
"Brother Feng married Uncle Lian, Rong'er is... happy for her."
"Rong'er is getting married...Does she have a beautiful wife?"
…
The door slowly closed and the lights flickered.
A young woman in her twenties sat in a corner, looking at the beauty in the dressing table mirror.
"What's going on in Ningguo Mansion recently? Is there anything unusual about Jia Jing?"
"You have to know who you are."
"There is nothing wrong with the Taoist priests of Xuanzhen Temple. I will pass on something useful next time."
"Jia family..."
"Jia Rong...Jia Jing..."
The pain that didn't come hit the brain, and the loud noise in the room frightened all the maids. Yindie and Wan'er rushed into the inner room, "Madam...this glass mirror was found by me to honor you..."
Tangled and complicated.
Lin Daiyu bit her pale red lips and gently lifted her feet onto the corridor.
Only Brother Rong's clear laughter could be heard inside: "Why are you so embarrassed? You're not a child. A child only hides when he wets the bed. Adults... all praise him."
Just when I was thinking about how to understand this, there was another noise inside.
I heard someone ask: "Why is there no water? Go get water quickly."
The sounds of footsteps, inquiries, laughter, and cries intermingled.
Hearing it again: "Prepare some more, these grandmas are all going to change into wedding clothes."
The door opened suddenly, and a group of maids came out carrying buckets and basins. A few of them showed a hint of surprise when they saw the girl at the door and ran away quickly.
But I saw Ying'er in the outer room, wearing a single coat and giving orders. Her shoulders were white as snow, and her eyes were visible.
His face was crimson, embarrassed and seductive.
Ying'er also saw Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan at the door.
"girl……"
PS: And...
