Chapter 13 Lies

Living a simple and comfortable life in the courtyard where no one is disturbed, Liang Shiqin goes to class according to the schedule every day, and I return obediently.Grandma Six heard the teacher's praise for Liang Shiqin in addition to the teacher's praise for Liang Shiqin. She is very satisfied. Even though Liang Shiqin has moved out of here, she still does not forget her mother's instructions. .

It has become the norm for the master to stay outside, except for returning from festivals and family gatherings, it is rare to see the master in Liangfu.So the second grandma, who couldn't bear it anymore, invited all the aunts and grandmas to come and have a small sit down, discuss whether to agree with the master to marry Qifang, and bring the master's heart back to Liangfu.How to discuss it, those of us who are servants can't know.I just heard from Zigui that the tea that day had been drunk for a long time, and when it was over, the expressions of the masters were not good.After dinner, the second grandma went to the Buddhist hall of the eldest grandma in person.You know, when the eldest grandma was still in charge, the second grandma ignored her a lot.Now the eldest grandmother is dedicated to the Buddha, and the second grandmother is in charge of things, and she is already the only one.But because of the important matter of the master not coming home for a long time, the second grandma still needs to ask the grandma for superficial instructions.After a few days, I heard my aunt say that the second mistress was watching the day and was going to welcome the seventh house that the master raised outside into the mansion.There are a lot of things to do in the kitchen.Because this Qifang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, relying on the master's great love, he has to entertain relatives and friends, and set up a few tables in his own small courtyard in Liangfu.The second grandma, who was thinking about the long term, agreed.You know, marrying a concubine is still a concubine at the back. Although the favor is high, the status in the mansion is very low.The banquet has to be agreed by the front rooms.Back then, Liang Shiqin's mother, Sixth Grandma, didn't have a banquet at Liangfu, but only invited a few tables at her natal house, and then a sedan chair welcomed Sixth Grandma in from the side door.So the Seventh Grandma had already started showing off before entering the door, and she had already offended the aunts and grandmas in front of her.

"Changing sister." Dong'er saw me coming in and stopped me, "Have you heard?"

I followed Liang Shiqin all day long, and I really didn't hear anything, so I looked at Dong'er curiously.

Dong'er took my hand and walked into the house, saying as she walked, "Second Mistress ordered, because Mistress Seven will come in tomorrow, and there will be a banquet in her yard, in case the guests will offend the young masters and ladies, I would like to ask Master to take a day off from school. After finishing speaking, Dong'er excitedly jumped in front of me again, with an unconcealable smile all over her eyes, "Do you think it's a happy thing?"

Liang Shiqin has specific studies every day, as long as she doesn't stop, we naturally have to follow.It can be said that this day off from school is not feasible in Liang Shiqin.It should be said that Grandma Six was strict enough to not let Liang Shiqin idle because the teacher suspended her studies.It is estimated that Liang Shiqin, who has not seen her for many days, will be personally invited by the sixth grandma to check her studies.This is more terrifying than going to class.Since Sixth Grandma had high expectations for Liang Shiqin, she naturally had high expectations of her.If there is even the slightest mistake, Liang Shiqin will be scolded, and this joint responsibility will be passed on to Dong'er and me, which is called negligence of duty and misleading the master.The scolding is small, but the spur is a lot.

Seeing Dong'er's eyes full of expectations, I really can't express the cruel thoughts in my head, but I have to say, because tomorrow, it's Dong'er's turn to follow Liang Shiqin: "Dong'er, don't be too happy .”

Seeing the tension between my brows, Dong'er is as sensitive as a rabbit at this moment: "Sister, don't scare me."

I said earnestly: "Grandma Six hasn't seen Miss Seven for several days."

Dong'er was like a frightened little rabbit, subconsciously hugging herself tightly: "Sister, Grandma Six will not want to see Miss Seven tomorrow, right?"

I neither nodded nor shook my head, I could only look at Dong'er with sympathy.Although Liang Shiqin studies hard every day, Grandma Six is ​​a master who saves the essence and always picks bones, which often makes Liang Shiqin tired of coping.That's why Liang Shiqin was able to show her ugliness in front of everyone, while she was jealous that her aunts and aunts couldn't find fault.

I remember that there was a time when Grandma Liu took a test of Liang Shiqin's piano skills, and she happened to get a piece that Liang Shiqin was good at.After finishing playing smoothly, Liang Shiqin thought Grandma Six would be satisfied, but Grandma Six mercilessly pointed out that Liang Shiqin had a good sound, but her temperament was not good, her body twisted too much, and she was not stable enough.Then let Liang Shiqin play it again and again, until the tone and posture are as wonderful as the figure, then nod and stop.At that time, I was standing next to Liang Shiqin, and saw that she was profusely sweating, and her temples were already wet.Before Grandma Six finished, a ruler hit me on the back without any warning.

Squeak, gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.Grandma Six began to scold me for not being able to stand up straight, which affected Liang Shiqin to follow suit.Liang Shiqin was about to excuse me, I immediately knelt down to admit my mistake, and gave Liang Shiqin a disapproving look.Otherwise, there will be another wave of ups and downs.At night, Dong'er gave me medicine, which frightened her so much that she straightened herself up straight when she saw Grandma Six.So, when she thought that Sixth Grandma might check on Liang Shiqin's homework during school breaks, Dong'er immediately fainted.I was so excited just now, but now I feel like crying.

"Then what should I do?" Dong'er squeezed my hand a little painfully, and really regarded me as a life-saving straw.

It doesn't matter if Grandma Six sees Liang Shiqin in private, but she's not on duty tomorrow, so I'll go with her. I'm afraid she won't take the exam for Liang Shiqin, so she'll start teaching us with family law These unruly servants.Naturally, Dong'er couldn't escape the crime.So I can't go down on Dong'er's value at this moment, so I can only comfort her: "Don't panic. Tomorrow, when the master marries Seventh Grandma, he might invite Sixth Grandma. Sixth Grandma won't have time to check Miss Seven's homework."

"Is it possible?" Dong'er was so wronged that tears were already rolling in her eyes.

I nodded: "Even if Miss Seven is tested, Grandma Six should be very satisfied with Miss Seven's current strength."

"Really? Really?" Dong'er excitedly took my hand, "Miss Seven is so powerful, she shouldn't make mistakes."

"Hey, these two loyal servants," Ruixue, who happened to hear the last word, came out of the house and looked at us with contempt. Overwhelm the crowd." After finishing speaking, he left angrily.

Dong'er stuck out her tongue behind Ruixue's back, muttering: "I want you to take care of it. Our Seventh Miss is already amazing."

I was amused, and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't worry too much, play it by ear tomorrow."

"Yeah." Dong'er regained her energy, "Then I'll go serve Seventh Miss." After speaking, she ran out like flying.

The weather started to turn cold, and the autumn wind was not as cool as the summer wind. I shivered, and hurried back to my closet, added some underwear, and went out to find my aunt.

"Miss Qi treats you well?" Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, my aunt began to ask me while handing firewood into the earthen stove.

Every time I have to ask, I am tired of answering the bellows at the side: "Okay, very good. You don't even know that other maids envy me." But I can't say that Liang Shiqin treats me so well that it's okay Eating at the same table and sleeping at the same table.Otherwise, without waiting for the sixth grandma to do it herself, my dear and respectable aunt will casually pick up the stick in the kitchen and swing it at me.The duty of a servant has been deeply engraved in my aunt's bone marrow, so she will not allow me to go beyond my duty and not understand the rules.

"That's good, that's good." Auntie stopped handing the firewood, then turned to look at me, with some water in her eyes, and stroked my hair with her rough hands, "I'm sorry, Auntie you."

I saw that the atmosphere was not right, so I immediately interrupted my aunt: "Auntie, don't be like this. It's rare for me to come here once, and you're crying, so I won't come next time."

My aunt pulled up her blackened apron and wiped away the beads that hadn't fallen off: "I know, I know. But," my aunt looked at me and sighed, "If it wasn't...it would be fine." Putting down the apron, Auntie stroked my hair again, her voice was somewhat regretful and distressed, "We look so fresh in changing clothes, if we were outside, there must be many people rushing to get engaged to you."

"Engaged", I looked at my aunt in surprise.My aunt shook her head helplessly, and continued to pass the firewood into the fire. The sound of the flames swallowing the firewood was crackling.I haven't recovered.My aunt's bizarre topic has come to an abrupt end.Seeing that my aunt stopped talking and I didn't ask any more questions, I was just confused.

After being silent for a long time, my aunt's words surprised me a lot: "Don't you want to accept other people's things in the future?"

I looked at my aunt's side face, the fire was shining on it, and the lines outlined were gentle and soft, not as sharp as Liang Shiqin's: "Auntie, what exactly do you want to say?" My mind was knotted one knot after another.

The aunt put down the firewood in her hand again, and after thinking about it, she said, "Didn't Li Le give you something?"

I was startled again and again, so panicked that the speed of pulling the bellows accelerated.

My aunt picked up the firewood again: "You are Miss Seven's person, life and death are not up to you, let alone marriage. Don't delay others." After speaking, my aunt threw the firewood into the fire at once.

I was so angry that I shook the bellows and stood up: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, I wanted to pay him back."

My aunt raised her head to look at me, and threw a fatal blow at me: "Bring that thing, and I will return it to someone else for you. If Grandma Liu finds out, your little life will not be guaranteed."

Looking at my aunt's hand stretched out to me, I thought of the Bu Yao treasured at the bottom of Liang Shiqin's jewelry box.She always glanced at her when she was dressing up, and then smiled contentedly.Steal?Liang Shiqin will definitely know, how should I explain it then.I simply lowered my head and lied: "I lost it. When I was about to return him, he walked too fast and I couldn't catch up. It was dark and I don't know where I lost it."

My aunt looked at me who was cramped, and finally sighed: "It's okay to lose it. Don't tell anyone about this." My aunt continued to throw firewood into the fire calmly.

I was in a depressed mood, watching sparks flying up and disappearing.
