Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 4

Seeing her smiling face, Qing Ya inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth. Looking at the seven or eight servant girls, she asked the matchmaker if she had any relatives or acquaintances with the people who worked in Gu's mansion, and finally chose two maidservants. Zizi followed Qing Ya to collect the money, Yin Huan watched them standing awkwardly, and called Er Dong to come in.

Yin Huan looked down at their name cards, looking for maids is also very particular, and you can't conflict with the lady who serves you in terms of horoscopes, so as not to collide, look up at the one on the left who looks more elf-looking, Yin Huan thought for a while He opened the mouth and said, "From now on, your name will be An Xia, and your name will be Xi Qiu. You should learn the rules from Er Dong first."

The immature child's voice combined with the mature tone always seems a bit weird. Yin Huan looked out of the window with her chin in her hand. The hibiscus plants in the yard had bloomed at some time, and the pink flowers were all over the branches, vying to be the first to be in the sunshine. Bloom down.

Suddenly there was a small movement by the door, Yin Huan looked there, and a little girl with curly braids appeared, holding the door frame carefully, and then she stepped towards the soft couch where Yin Huan was sitting Walked up, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old maid.

Yin Huan looked at her pink and jade-carved face, and thought for a while before remembering, seeing her pouting her mouth, she called out, "Yin Fei?"

"Seventh sister, I heard from my aunt that you are injured." Gu Yinfei said, trying to climb onto the soft couch with all her strength, but Er Xia who was behind her stepped forward to help her, and she sat on it and moved to Yinfei. Beside Huan, looked at her back carefully, raised his head, "Then are you better now?"

Yin Huan reached out and touched her head, his voice softened, "It's much better, why did your aunt let you come here alone?"

Asked about this, Gu Yinfei's expression was a little sad, with a pair of small hands on her knees, she kept pinching the corners of her clothes, "Auntie is pregnant with a little brother, so she has no time to look at me."

Aunt Luo was chosen by Gu Yucheng himself, and the old lady of Sanfang decided to take her in. When she came here, Aunt Luo already had a body, and half a year later she gave birth to Yin Fei. Now that she has a body again, it is no wonder that she feels unhappy Even the father has hope for Aunt Luo's baby, not to mention Aunt Luo, a young widow who was brought in by Gu Yucheng, is more anxious than anyone else in need of a son to establish her status.

"Miss Ten was bored by herself, so she wanted to come and see Miss Seven." Er Xia who was on the side added that she felt sorry for her own lady.

"I've grown up, and I don't need my aunt to follow me. In two years, I can live here like Seventh Sister. Then I will come here every day, okay?" Gu Yinfei looked at her with a smile on her face. She, Yin Huan's heart tightened, how could she tell her that this lovely girl accidentally fell into the water and died before she moved in two years after she left Zhuqing Courtyard.

"Of course." Maybe it's because of a little empathy, Yin Huan knows her loneliness. Although Aunt Luo is favored, she conceived the child when she was still away. Aunt Luo was married before. From her birth, many people are guessing that Miss Ten is not her father's child.

"Seventh Sister, the old woman's birthday is coming soon, what do you want to prepare for her birthday?" Gu Yinfei looked at her with wide eyes, and suddenly felt that seeing Seventh Sister this time was very comfortable, especially the way she looked at her, warm and warm It's warm, and it seems a little different from the previous Seventh Sister.

Children are always more sensitive, so Gu Yinfei unconsciously moved a little closer to Yin Huan, and simply lay on her knees, with fluffy yellow balls around the two braids, very cute.

"What do you want to give?" Yin Huan wanted to push her away subconsciously, met her clear eyes, and put his hands on her back. Gu Yinfei shook her head, "I don't know, but I heard that the two Elder sister has prepared a beautiful Jade Guanyin, and sixth elder sister said not to touch it randomly."

"Your aunt will prepare your congratulatory gift for you, don't worry." This year is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Gu, no wonder Aunt Qian will prepare such a big gift for her eldest daughter. These aunts are not qualified to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Gu family They went, although they are born of concubines, but they are also the blood of the Gu family, so they can go there naturally, "If you have the heart, just say a few more birthday wishes, the old lady will definitely like it."

"Then what does Seventh Sister want to give?"

Yin Huan was taken aback, she hadn't thought about what to give, but soon, someone would come and tell her what to give, she suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes, Yin Huan looked at her with a smile, "The old lady doesn't have anything No, we are still children, so it’s fine if we make up our minds.”

Er Xia at the side raised her head and looked at her more, Gu Yinfei nodded half-understanding, there was a sound from the door, Er Dong walked in with Xi Qiu, carrying a plate of peeled lychees, There were more than a dozen pitted lychees on a small plate, and Yin Huan held a fork and put it in her hand, "There's still some ice, eat more."

Gu Yinfei just ate a few bites and stopped moving. She stretched out her hand to ask Er Xia to hug her, looked at Yin Huan and said, "Seventh sister, rest well, I'll come to you some other day, okay?"

Yin Huan nodded, watched her walk out of the door, and then turned his gaze to the plate, obviously the joy could not be concealed in those small eyes, how could she bear it at such a young age.

After walking out of Zhuqingyuan, Gu Yinfei asked Erxia to carry her back and lay on Erxia's back. Gu Yinfei asked sullenly, "Sister Erxia, do you think Seventh Sister will not like me too?" .”

Er Xia felt a pain in his heart, "Of course not. Didn't Miss Seven say that you can come over to play with her often?"

The gloomy little face just now suddenly became more energetic, Gu Yinfei said in a cheerful tone, "Sister Er Xia also thinks that Seventh Sister likes me, right?"

"Yeah, Miss Ten is so cute, who wouldn't like you." Er Xia also smiled when she heard her tone, the evening sun shone on them and cast oblique shadows on the path, Gu Yinfei spoke softly Gradually going away, as the figure finally disappeared...

In the Zhuqing Courtyard, Yin Huan held the fork until the cold air dissipated before slowly eating the lychees. Er Dong whispered to Xi Qiu about her work, rest and living habits. Yin Huan put down the fork and said, "Er Dong Dong, do we have better embroidered cloth here?"

"Miss, you forgot, you took all the embroidered cloth that was distributed at the beginning of the year to Aunt Zhou, and the remaining piece of fabric was made by Wang Mama for you last month." Er Dong saw her confused face, When did Miss's memory become so bad?

More than ten years ago, Yin Huan couldn't remember how much cloth was left. She only remembered that at the beginning of each year, each lady's room would distribute some high-quality embroidered cloth, whether it was used for handkerchiefs or clothes for herself. "There is nothing left before? The old lady's birthday is coming soon."

"The former lady used it for embroidery, why don't you ask my aunt?" Er Dong put down the clothes in his hands, and helped Yin Huan off the soft couch, Yin Huan shook his head, "Maybe my aunt might have that. "Looking at the box on the dressing table, I had an idea in my mind.

After dinner, Qing Ya came in with the medicine cooked in the kitchen. Yin Huan swallowed it while holding her breath and frowning, then took the candied fruit from Er Dong's hand and quickly put it in her mouth. Qing Ya looked at her small face With a tangled look, there was a smile on her face. Seventh Miss was very sensible, but she was still a child after all, just like Sixth Young Master, she couldn't untie her frown even after drinking some medicine.

"Sister Qing Ya, Yin Huan wants to trouble you with something. My sister knows a lot of people in the house. I want to buy some high-quality embroidered cloth. Can you ask my sister to find someone to help me buy some outside?" Yin Huan said He took out the money bag that he had prepared a long time ago and put it next to the medicine bowl, "Sister Qingya, take these money first."

"When did Miss Seven want it, and what kind of embroidered cloth do you want?" Qing Ya didn't take the money bag over, but just put away the medicine bowl.

"It would be the best if it can be done in two days. I want to use it to embroider some good ones. Can Sister Qingya help me buy some more?"

"Let me ask for Miss Seven first, it won't be too late to buy the embroidered fabric after you have seen it." Qing Ya pushed the money bag back, "Dr. Had breakfast."

Yin Huan nodded, and asked Xi Qiu to send her out. Chai Erdong brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread the rice paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in some ink, drew two Strelitzia orchids on the paper, and chanted Huan pondered for a while, and wrote a Chinese character "Shou" in the lower left corner of the painting, what kind of embroidery can be presented to be more ingenious, to attract attention without being obtrusive.

After it was time to light the lamp, Er Dong brought An Xia in and waited for her to wash. Seeing that she was still sitting on the soft couch, he brought a candle lamp to illuminate her, "Miss, it's time to rest, how about painting tomorrow? "

After bowing for a while, Yin Huan also felt a little tired, so she nodded and helped her waist. After washing, Er Dong applied medicated oil to her, and she lay down for a while before turning over to sleep. Still thinking about the congratulatory gift, turning over Looking at the screen outside the gauze tent, the four corners are hollowed out with patterns engraved. If it is too late to embroider a screen painting, can it be made smaller, Yin Huan thought and fell asleep.

Dr. Chen came over as soon as he got up early the next morning. Because he was accidentally pressed by Gu Yizhe last time, Dr. Chen prescribed two extra doses of medicine, "It will be fine if you rest for a few more days. Too long or standing on the ground for too long."

After breakfast, Qing Ya came in with a bawdy woman, and a book of embroidered cloth from the Lin'an Embroidery Building, "Miss Seven, please take a look to see if there is anything you want here."

Yin Huan flipped through this booklet, there are tens of thousands of embroidery products, and there are also many kinds of embroidered cloth used as the base. Yin Huan flipped through it, and finally chose two, one with a slightly more transparent color, "Sister Qingya, These two kinds of silk are two feet long, can you send them here sooner?" Looking at the screen, Yin Huan already had a prototype in his heart, and handed the brochure back to Qing Ya.

"It can be delivered tomorrow morning at the latest." Qing Ya took the woman out, and Yin Huan handed over the painting that was not finished last night to Er Dong, "Take this to Auntie, and ask her to help find a good one." Master carpenter, use better wood to make a shelf according to this painting."

"Miss, do you want to embroider a screen? Your birthday is next month. How can you finish it?" Er Dong glanced at the rice paper, and it was clearly the frame of the screen. The huge screen, even if it was not injured, will not last this month. It takes days and nights to finish the embroidery.

"Just go, I know." Yin Huan straightened her back, she naturally wouldn't make such a big screen, the old lady kept it in her room, so she would be rare.

Not long after Er Dong went out, Gu Yinfang came over with her maid...
