Chapter 6 Eccentricity
Yuchen lives in the wing on the left side of the upper courtyard, and the three rooms are hers.
As soon as Oak Xi walked into the room, she saw a long red sandalwood desk in the center. In the center of the long table is a three-legged censer with cloisonné enamel, and the sweet smell is spreading from the censer.
Yuxi's eyes fell on the wool carpet about two inches thick on the ground. The carpet was embroidered with exquisite patterns, which was very beautiful. This wool carpet is worth a thousand dollars.
The servant girl opened the red lacquer bead curtain of Jinsten and let two people in.
Yuxi looked at the furnishings in the room, not to mention the huanghuali wood furniture in Yishui and the priceless furnishings on the Duobao Pavilion, even the stationery utensils on the desk were not ordinary. It is said that children need to be raised poor, women need to be raised rich, and Yuchen is the real rich. Compared with Yuchen, Yuxi's courtyard was so shabby that it made people want to cry. Because she saw the arrangement in Yuchen's house for the first time in her last life, and she cried a lot when she went back. But now she takes these foreign objects very lightly.
Oak-hee was fascinated by the double-sided embroidered kang screen that was placed in the house. One side of this double-sided embroidery was beautiful flowers, and the other side was the peony flower of national beauty: "It's so beautiful." Embroidery, marrying into the Jiang family has no other pastime than embroidery.
Seeing Yuxi's eyes flashing brightly, Yuchen said with a smile, "If you like it, I will give it to you."
Yuxi said in surprise, "Really?" If she was asked to study it and study the skills inside, she would be able to embroider double-sided embroidery.
The servant girl behind Yuchen was a little anxious, how could this double-sided embroidery be given away so precious! I originally hoped that the fourth girl would refuse, but looking at the fourth girl, she knew that it was impossible: "Girl, this is absolutely impossible, this is what the lady left for the girl."
The enthusiasm in Yuxi's heart dissipated, and he shook his head and said, "Third sister, this thing is too precious, I can't ask for it."
There was still a slight smile on Yuchen's face: "Give it to you, just take it!"
Okay didn't refuse now, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Third Sister." She accepted it cheekily. In the future, she will figure out the doorway inside, and if she can embroider double-sided embroidery, she will definitely give Yuchen a better embroidery.
Yuchen not only has exquisite furnishings in the room, but also the stationery utensils on the desk are not ordinary. Yu Xi looked at the still-dry handwriting on the table, and sighed in her heart. Yuchen was only five years old when she was only five years old, and her handwriting was so good. The handwriting she wrote in her previous life was probably nothing more than that.
Seeing this, the waiter immediately said, "This set of sapphire tea flower study utensils were given to my girl by the old lady." This means, don't make up your mind about the utensils on the desk.
Yuxi's face stiffened, and she said to Yuchen, "Third sister, I still have to say goodbye to my aunt. I'll say goodbye to my grandmother later." She didn't want to be guarded like a thief.
After Yu Xi left, Yu Chen glanced at the waiter: "Who gave you the courage?"
Shishu felt a sudden shock, knelt on the ground and said, "Girl, it's the servant who has overstepped. The servant just thought that the embroidery was left to you by the lady, and was anxious, so she lost her sense."
Yu Chen snorted: "This time it's your first offense. If there is another time, don't blame me for being merciless. No matter what happens to the four girls, they are the masters of the house." I like it, that's also the girl in the mansion, and a maid can't help it.
Shi Shu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, how dare he have any objection.
Yuxi didn't know there was such a koan, she only took Mo Ju to the main courtyard. The yard where Mrs. Guo Gong lived was the most splendid of the Guo Gong Mansion. There were five upper rooms, with wing rooms on both sides, extending in all directions and splendid.
Seeing Yuxi, Liu Yin greeted her and said with a smile, "Four girls are here, Madam is waiting in the room!" After speaking, she led Yuxi in.
Qiu Shi was wearing a home uniform. She was round and rich, with a loving smile on her face. She looked like someone who was easy to get along with.
Oak-hee didn't speak.
Kneeling directly on the ground, he kowtowed three heads to Qiu's, and said sincerely, "Thank you auntie for saving her life." it is good.
Qiu Shi was stunned for a moment, then walked over to help Yu Xi up, and said angrily, "What did you do? What kind of life-saving grace? This is what my aunt should do."
Yuxi said gratefully, "Auntie, I know, if it wasn't for Auntie, I would have died." Not only that, but she was able to grow up safely in her last life, thanks to the Qiu family.
Qiu's heart was ironed, and she touched Yuxi's head, and said softly, "This is also your own fate, and you have survived." In fact, she didn't have any expectations at first, and asking the doctor to see a doctor was nothing more than reassuring herself. Heart, I didn't expect Yuxi to actually survive.
Yuxi was about to speak when the maid outside said, "Madam, the eldest girl is here." The biological mother of the eldest girl Yuru was the maidservant of the eldest maid, but she went away shortly after giving birth to Yuru.
Yuru was dressed in lotus-colored clothes, with a simple double-ring bun, and two hostas on her head. With thin eyebrows and big eyes, bright eyes and good eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled. There were two small pear eddies on her cheeks, and she was also a beautiful embryo.
Yu Ru came in and bowed to Qiu Shi, then looked at Yu Xi and said, "Fourth sister, I heard that you are doing well, congratulations to you."
Yuxi also returned the salute: "I'll let the big sister miss you." Yujin was eight years old, and she was four years apart from her, and the two didn't have much contact.
Qiu Shi said with a smile: "The sisters are more polite."
When the lady in charge was coming over, Yu Ru wisely withdrew, and before leaving, she said to Yu Xi, "If the fourth sister doesn't dislike it, come and sit in my room."
Oak-hee was surprised. First it was Yuchen, and now it's Yuru. She remembered that she didn't show up after her illness in her previous life: "Okay!"
The girls in the Guogong Mansion have their own independent courtyards when they are eight years old, unless there are special circumstances, such as Yujing, who still lives with Aunt Rong now.
Yuxi entered the house and looked at a pair of shoe uppers in the embroidered basket. The needles and threads on it were very dense. Oak-hee asked with a smile, "Eldest sister, is this making shoes for my aunt?"
Yu Ru smiled and nodded: "Well, it was embroidered for my mother."
Yuxi's eyebrows curled and said, "Auntie will definitely like it when she sees it." In fact, there is nothing good about the auntie being the lady of the government, and Yuru did this just to please the auntie.
Oak Hee saw his own badness in a pair of shoes. The aunt had been taking care of her for more than ten years, but she had never done anything for the aunt. At this moment, Oak-hee was reflecting on herself.
Yuru was a little surprised, but she was still very happy when she was praised: "I don't have good embroidery, so you shouldn't praise me like that."
Yuxi smiled and said, "This is a piece of filial piety from the eldest sister, and my aunt will like it very much." The eldest aunt is a very generous person, so although Yu Ru is a concubine and has no biological mother, life is not difficult.
After a brief conversation, Oak-hee went back to his yard.
Yuru looked at Yuxi's back, thoughtfully. Her maid Qingxuan asked strangely, "What is the girl looking at?"
Yu Ru whispered, "Fourth younger sister has changed a lot." Yu Xi was always gloomy before, but now she has become a lot more cheerful. Oak-hee's change for the better might not be good for her.
Qing Xuan took out the embroidered basket and said, "Four girls have become better, and I will be able to interact with girls more in the future."
Yuru smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a concubine, and the fourth girl is also a direct daughter no matter how much she can't be favored. How can she be willing to have more contacts with me." There is a reason for Yuru to say this. Be gentle to her.
Qing Xuan didn't know what to say.
Seeing Yuxi's return, Mother Fang stepped forward and said, "Miss, the third lady sent someone to bring a pair of embroidery, and I can't push it away. Girl, what's going on?"
When Yuxi entered the house, she saw the double-sided embroidery: "This is given to me by the third sister." After a while, she dismantled the double-sided embroidery and studied it carefully.
Fang's mother was anxious: "Girl, why did the third girl give you such a precious thing?" No wonder Fang's mother was anxious. I am afraid that the old lady will be unhappy after getting such a good thing from the third girl.
Oak-hee shook her head and said, "I don't know either." She really didn't know why Oak-hee gave her such a precious thing. But since it was delivered, she would not refuse.
Fang's mother was about to speak when she heard that Liu Yin was coming.
Liu Yin also brought things over. This time, Qiu's generous hand, not only sent precious supplements such as bird's nest and ginseng, but also sent two brocades. One is water red and one is green.
After seeing Liu Yin away, Fang's mother was very happy to see the two brocades: "With this material, the girl can make more clothes." Yuxi's clothes are all part of Gongzhong, six sets per season. Six sets of clothes are a lot for ordinary people, but for girls in the Guo Gongfu, six sets of clothes are a bit pitiful.
Mo Ju opened the box of bird's nest and exclaimed, "Ah, it's actually a blood swallow." The best thing in the bird's nest is the blood swallow, which is especially nourishing.
Oak Xi was a little dazed. She remembered that her aunt sent some supplements after she recovered from her illness in her previous life, but she didn't have such precious supplements as Xueyan, so why was it different? Oak-hee fell into deep thought.
Not long after Fang's mother was happy, Cuiyu, the maid from the old lady's side, came over. Cuiyu didn't come here to give something, but to pass on the old lady's words: "Fourth girl, the old lady said that you should take good care of your illness, so you don't have to go every day to ask for your peace."
Fang's mother's face changed slightly, what is the old lady doing? He even asked his own girl not to ask for peace? This is too much.
The old lady told this, obviously she didn't want to see her. In her last life, she was very sad when she heard this, and she was sick for a while, but now she has no trouble. However, there was still a shocked expression on the face: "Please tell my grandmother Cuiyu sister, I will recover well."
Cuiyu said: "I will bring this to you."
Fang's mother was afraid that Yuxi would be sad, so she hurriedly comforted her: "The girl is recovering, the old lady is pampering the girl, and I don't want you to be too tired." The girl finally became more cheerful, if she said that the old lady was partial Yes, it's not good if the girl takes it to heart and can't think of being unhappy.
Yu Xi deliberately smiled bitterly and changed the subject: "I saw my eldest sister making shoe uppers for my aunt today, Fang Ma, I want to learn embroidery, and I will also make shoes for my aunt in the future!"
Fang's mother hurriedly replied: "Okay, the girl can study if she wants to." If the girl has something to do, she won't think about it anymore, that's fine.
