Chapter 108 Mind
This is the first time Qiu Yiran has arrived at Haitangyuan. Ruxiu is leaning against the head of the bed and embroidering flowers. Two little maids are sitting on the chair beside the bed sewing clothes.????? w?w?w?
?b?i?q?u?g e?.
?c n? Some time ago, I was rushing to prepare New Year’s Eve and rewards, and the three of them were exhausted. However, even though it was New Year’s Eve last night, Ji refused to let the three of them take a break, just because Qiu Yanran suddenly wanted a big red dress with a skirt embroidered with colorful butterflies wearing flowers. Fortunately, she wore it during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is an annual event in Luocheng, and it is also a good time for big girls and wives to compete for beauty. Qiu Yanran’s personality is naturally extremely looking forward to it.
Seeing Qiu Yiran come in, the two little maids bowed and quickly quit. They felt that Aunt Xiu finally had the hard work. Fortunately, they still respect Aunt Xiu very much on weekdays. Speaking of which, they are just two little maids, and they have to work in any yard. In Haitangyuan, Aunt Xiu not only has a good temperament, but also teaches them needlework and threading skills. If you help her do something diligently, Aunt Xiu will also secretly give her only eight or ten copper coins, but their monthly money in the Marquis’ Mansion is pitifully small, and they have never given any rewards before. Naturally, they will please Aunt Xiu more diligently.
Two little maids who were originally only doing female red embroidery were fighting to take care of Ruxiu. The Zhang Mazi, who was using roughly, was naturally more loyal and hardworking, so Ruxiu's life was not that bad. Of course, the life when she was a maid in the Yin family was incomparable.
Ruyu still sat back on the bed and continued to embroider, not as excited and enthusiastic as Qiu Yiran imagined. Over the past few days, with Qiu Yanran's repeated reminders, she had already figured out that Qiu Yiran never took her seriously, but just wanted to use her to get the dowry of Yin Zhiruo and Yin Zhiruo. Now that she has lost this value, isn't she just a humble maid, embroiderer? Even Qiu Yiran's child in her belly is nothing in the eyes of the Qiu family. But what she didn't understand was that since she didn't value this child, why did they take her into the Marquis' Mansion?
Ruxiu's plain attitude hurt Qiu Yiran very much, making him think that Zhiruo's bowing when he got married that day, almost didn't even bend his waist, and she chose to bend with Li Shi's decisiveness...
It's fine for Yin Zhiruo. Now, Ruqiu, who is crazy about being flirtatious at him, isn't Ruxiu, so he is so lukewarm. How can he feel? Why is he so unattractive?
Qiu Yiran's face turned dark in an instant: "Why, did the monster not come to see you? Who will show this face?"
Ruxiu raised her head strangely, with an innocent face: "What's your face? What are you saying? The concubine is rushing to make the second girl's clothes. The second girl said she wanted to embroider a hundred butterflies and thirty-three peonies. It will be completed before the Lantern Festival. The concubine almost didn't even have time to eat and sleep, so where can she have time to show off her face?" After that, she lowered her head and continued to embroider, without caring about Qiu Yiran's embroidery and angry face. He remembered the rumors outside that the Qingyuan Hou Mansion was so poor that she robbed the embroidery girl. The New Year ceremony was finished, why did her mother and sister do so much work for Ruxiu? No matter what, the children in Ruxiu's belly were all his eldest son or eldest daughter.
"Okay, you put it aside first," Qiu Yiran's tone softened a little, "It's too late, it's too late, I will go to Tong Yan'er and say. Now I want to ask you a question first, about Meizhuang."
Ruqiu did not stop her work: "Master, please ask, but I will tell you what I know about Meizhuang." My mother said that people's eyes are prone to emotions, so she should lower her head and embroider.
Qiu Yiran frowned, but because the situation was urgent and not long, he still asked: "Is there a martial arts master hidden by Yin Zhiruo? Did his father specifically find the guards she brought from the capital?"
Ruqiu shook his head: "I don't know what a martial arts master is like, but Yin Zhiruo has not many guards, at most ten people, they are all from the original mansion. Some of them were not guards before, but they were just errands. Most of them were born in the family, and they came to Luocheng mainly because their families all served as Yin Zhiruo's companions. Oh, by the way, there seemed to be one or two of the people Yin Zhiruo bought from Kaicheng as guards."
Qiu Yiran's brows frowned even more. How could he be able to fight for forty or fifty savage bandits with the escorts selected at will, and there were only about ten people? Is it that the mechanisms of Meizhuang really that powerful?
But that's true. If the mechanism is not powerful, why have you never heard of any house in Fuluo Dayou, where the village was successfully defeated by bandits? Alas, his stupid mother dared to follow Ye and make trouble with the bandits so boldly. Thinking of Ye's repeated bewitching his mother and harming them, Qiu Yiran's clenched fists burst out with blue veins, and that woman was the nemesis of their Qiu family!
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Ruxiu raised her head and said in confusion, "You don't think... it's hard. I heard that there are many mechanisms in the village and they are very powerful, so Yin Zhiruo is not afraid of bringing so many dowry." It seems that the Qiu family is so poor that they actually want to go directly to grab it. Haha, what's ridiculous is that the so-called aunt's food and use is worse than the rough maid of the Yin family.
Qiu Yiran said embarrassedly: "Where did you think of it? I just asked casually. Do you have no idea about the affairs of that mechanism?"
Ruxiu curled her lips self-deprecatingly: "Now that I think about it, Yin Zhiruo has been wary of me early in the morning. Haha, I can only blame myself for not having eyes and being stupid again."
Qiu Yiran narrowed his eyes again. Is this meaningful? Do you regret staring at me that day? Do you regret following me? I heard from my mother that the monthly silver embroidered in the Yin family is only 2 taels a month, and the clothes and materials I brought are better than Yan'er's wear, and now...
"By the way, my husband," Ruxiu touched his lower abdomen, which was not very visible, "Do you know? I have a child, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I just hope that he will be well and will be a blessing in the future. No matter what, he is always the master of the Marquis' Mansion."
The topic changed too quickly, and Qiu Yiran was stunned: "You should keep it well, don't think so much. I'll leave first, and come to see you when I have time." After that, he turned around and left, leaving very quickly, and he himself didn't know why.
Ruxiu put down the embroidery bandage, curled her lips coldly, called Zhang's wife in, and gave her a small purse: "Mom Zhang, go out for a walk, is there something wrong with Tantan's mansion?" Qiu Yiran would not think of her crabapple courtyard at all, and would not have come so early in the morning. Shouldn't this time be the whole family spend breakfast or New Year's greetings?
"Hey," Mrs. Zhang happily took the purse, "I happened to go to the big kitchen to get breakfast and New Year's snacks, and I also had to go to the accounting room to get your monthly silver." The servants of the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion did not have any extra rewards for the New Year, only one person had two yuan of snacks, and the same was true for her prince's concubine.
Ru Xiu nodded and smiled, "Go, I'm not hungry. There are some snacks I bought from ** a few days ago. Don't worry, talk more and come back. There is nothing to do today. If you want to leave the mansion, you can go and ask for a leave." She didn't know anything in this Haitangyuan. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang also has several old sisters who are also rough-minded women in the mansion. Whether they are rough-minded or rough-minded, it doesn't affect their gossip ability and interest at all. Every time Mrs. Zhang goes out for a walk, she can bring back a lot of news, including those inside and outside the mansion.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, the two little maids came back, looking pleased: "Aunt Xiu, the prince really loves you, but seeing his hurry, he must be very busy recently." "Of course, the prince will be in charge of the family in the future. I heard that many things are handed over to the prince now, how can you not be busy?" "Aunt Xiu, the prince specifically told us to be diligent and not to tired you, aunt."
Ruxiu was busy working hard, and said shyly: "Is that so? I'm really! I just praised you for being smart and capable."
