concubines are respected

Chapter 16
Stepping out of Yulan Garden, bypassing the rocky rockery beside the lotus pond, I happened to meet Cui Ya walking towards me. When I saw Suxian's master and servant, Cui Ya immediately came forward with a smile, "Second miss, I heard that the servant girl in the capital My family sent people to give gifts, and tomorrow the mansion will be very lively." Speaking of this, Cui Ya remembered the big and small things in the mansion in the past, and Su Xian couldn't even attend the table, the smile on her face suddenly faded by three points, and her expression slightly faded He said in a dejected voice, "It's just. I just want to come to Da Furen again."

Before Cuiya finished speaking, Xiangcao handed over the brocade clothes tightly held in her hands, and said with a smile, "Cuiya, you are worrying too much, our second young lady is not as good as before, not only did she get the favor of my old lady just now, The gift of clothes made the eldest lady agree to attend the master's birthday banquet tomorrow. Look at how beautiful the clothes are. I heard that they are not ordinary clothes. They are tributes from the palace. The second young lady was originally born Like a flower, if you dress up carefully, you will be three points more eye-catching than the girls in the main courtyard."

"Really?" Cui Ya cheered in surprise, and quickly took the brightly colored clothes from Vanilla, and hurriedly unfolded the clothes, gesticulating back and forth on the slender and delicate figure like a weak willow, "tsk Tsk tsk, the items that come out of the palace are really extraordinary. Even the second lady never wore such beautiful things back then."

Suxian smiled indifferently, "Okay, don't make comparisons here, if people in the main courtyard look at it, they should say that I am humble and can't see the world. Haha!"

It was just a joke at first, but Cuiya took it seriously, and immediately spit out her witty tongue, Nuonuo nodded in agreement, and was about to tidy up the clothes, but Xiangcao's complexion changed slightly and she said, "Second Miss, this clothes are beautiful, But the slave girl feels that it is a bit too big, and it may not fit well tomorrow."

"Xiangcao said that the second lady is weak and has always been thin. The clothes are indeed too loose. When I go back to the room later, the servant will change the second lady and lock the shoulders with a few more stitches. It won't take too long What a big deal." Cui Ya scrutinized it carefully and saw something wrong, then thought that her sewing skills were not bad, so she said with a light smile.

"This is impossible. Although you are good at handicrafts, you can clearly see that the thread that sewed this clothes is brocade silk. We don't have such fine brocade silk in the sparrow garden. In my opinion, it is better to take it to the weaving room and let it Xiuniang Yudan did it by herself, but fortunately, the modification is not too big, I believe it won't take much effort." After all, Xiangcao is careful, straightening the golden brocade thread in the crevices of the clothes, and said to Cuiya.

"Hey, slave girl, I'll take it to Yudan for a few stitches, and I'll be back soon." Cuiya responded sweetly, holding the clothes tightly in her arms, and walked quickly to the weaving room in the front yard.

Returning to Queyuan, Xiangcao was busy with lunch in the dining room, Suxian took out a copy of "Da'an Shiji" from the room, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and sat leisurely under the willow tree in the courtyard, enjoying Look closely at the taste.

In her previous life as a special police officer, Suxian had a half-day free life that was extremely difficult to steal. Now that the soul of a ghostly messenger has passed through here, she has more quiet time. During this period of time, Suxian has fallen in love with this bird. Sparrows sing softly, read half a volume of books, and enjoy the leisurely and quiet time of drinking tea.Without the disturbance from the group of people in the main courtyard, this seemingly secluded bird garden would be a rare pure land for self-cultivation.

"Second miss, the clothes have been changed, the embroiderer Yudan's hands are really skillful, the servant girl is helping Xiaokou to arrange the embroidery thread, before finishing a bundle, Yudan has already adjusted and sewn the clothes properly. "Xu Shi walked too fast, and Cui Ya's face was flushed with a good-looking pink, "Second Miss, go back to the room, and the servant will serve you and see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Cuiya took the closed scroll from Suxian's hand, took her elbow and walked towards the wing.

In the room, Suxian changed into her clothes, raised her hands slightly, and looked at Jinhua's beautiful clothes.Cui Ya also leaned over, carefully arranging the skirt embroidered with colorful silk for Suxian, looking at the waist that was still a little bigger, she couldn't help but blame herself, "Hey, it's all because of the carelessness of the servant girl, who only cares about tidying up the little buttons. Embroidery thread, although Yudan is good at craftsmanship, but she is not familiar with the second lady's stature, after all, she is still a little bigger. This servant will go back and let Yudan take the trouble to change it."

"Forget it, why bother running back and forth, fasten the waist button, it's not easy to see if it's a little too big." Suxian didn't care, took off her clothes casually, gently rubbing back and forth on the smooth material with her small hands, the soft texture The fabric feels great.

Suddenly, a faint sour smell hit her nose, Suxian frowned slightly, held the clothes close to the tip of her nose uncertainly, and sniffed carefully.

"Second Miss, what are you smelling?" Cuiya was extremely puzzled by Suxian's strange movements.

"Cuiya, come and smell it, is there a faint sour smell on this dress?" Suxian handed the clothes into Cuiya's hands.

Cui Ya took the clothes and sniffed them lightly like a puppy, turned her head to think for a while, and said with a blushing smile, "Back to the second miss, this sour smell is like sweat. Sweat is rubbing against the clothes. The servants should be damned, how could they be so careless."

At this time, Xiang Cao, who was working in the dining room, walked into the room with the lunch tray lightly placed on it, took the topic casually, and said slightly annoyed, "You, why are you in such a hurry? The clothes, the second lady hasn't worn them yet, but you made them smell like sweat."

"Me. I didn't mean to." After being scolded by Vanilla for a while, Cui Ya's face flushed, and she whispered with grievance and guilt.

"It's okay, it's okay, my mother loved incense very much when she was alive, there seems to be some spices left by my mother in the cabinet, you go and light it, we put the clothes on the spices and smoke it, and the sweat smell will go away. Seeing Cui Ya's blushing face, Su Xian hurriedly instructed Xiang Cao.

"Hey, I'm going to get it now, servant girl." Xiang Cao put down the tray in her hand, turned around and searched in the corner cabinet, "Second Miss, this cloth has magnolia scent, osmanthus scent, and chrysanthemum scent, what do you like to use?" fragrance?"

There was a light in Suxian's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Magnolia fragrance is pretty good, just use this kind."

Cuiya also hurriedly stepped forward to help, hanging the clothes on the hanger beside the bed, and lighting the bronze incense burner with herbs, immediately a wisp of green smoke floated up like soft silk, and the whole clothes were enveloped in the mellow fragrance of magnolia flowers.

Soon, the refreshing fragrance echoed in the room, "Let it smoke, let's start eating." Suxian sat down at the wooden table and called Cuiya and Vanilla to sit down.

Queyuan is far away from the main courtyard, Suxian, Cuiya and Xiangcao depend on each other like sisters, and they don't pay much attention to the rules in private.Since Suxian returned home, she has been letting them eat at the same table with her. The so-called rules between master and servant are just for others to see when there are outsiders.

"This scent is really good. These spices were made by the second lady herself back then, but they are good things that can't be bought outside. I remember that you also learned a lot from the second lady, but the slave is clumsy and can't learn the formula of spices. . " Cui Ya put a leaf of green vegetable into her mouth, masticating while chewing.

"Before my mother met my father, she was a maidservant in someone else's house. She was in charge of making incense. It's not difficult to make some spices. It's just because I was playful and only learned seven or eight layers of craftsmanship from my mother." Suxian took a bite of snow white. He asked Cui Ya, "Cui Ya, is there anyone else in Shicaifang's room?"

"Another person?" Cui Ya was slightly stunned, "There was no one else, only Xiuniang Yudan and Weaving Maid Xiaokou." Speaking of this, Cui Ya thought about it again, as if she remembered something, "Oh, yes, When the maidservant first left, she met Yinxiu in the eldest lady's room. I heard that the eldest lady thought her girdle was too plain, so she asked Yudan to embroider some peony flowers on it, and there was also Yinxiu in the third lady's room. Zhu'er is also there, and she said she wants to pick some fine gold threads to make beads for the third young lady. However, after the servants went in for a while, they all left, and the servants never spoke to them."

After Suxian heard it, she nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak.

"Second Miss, is there something wrong?" Cui Ya was slightly anxious, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and leaned forward to ask.

"There's nothing wrong, eat it quickly, don't let it cool down. I'm just asking casually." Suxian said in a low voice, and then casually buried her head in her meal.

Vanilla remained silent, looked at Suxian and Cuiya with rolling eyes, and then looked at Jinyi surrounded by incense, with a trace of doubt on his face.

After lunch, Cuiya and Xiangcao quickly cleaned up the table and stools, Suxian came to the side of the brocade clothes, and held up a sleeve, the fresh and sweet fragrance of magnolia flowers rushed over, making people feel as if they were in a big movie. Magnolia flowers are like a sea, and the mind is much brighter.

"Second Miss, the clothes are scented, it smells so good! I'll pack them up now. At the master's birthday banquet tomorrow, Second Miss will definitely pay attention to everyone." Cui Ya carefully took off the brocade clothes from the hanger, and was about to put them into the closet .

"Don't worry, come to think of it now, the waist of this dress is indeed a bit bigger, you can take it to the weaving workshop and let Yudan change it." Suxian turned back and sat down at the table, took the tea soup brought by vanilla, and took a sip speak.

"But, Second Miss, didn't you just say that it's okay to wear a waist button tomorrow?" Cuiya didn't understand why Suxian changed her mind after a short time.

"If you are told to go, you can go. Tomorrow is the master's birthday banquet. After careful calculation, although the second lady is in the same house, the second lady has not seen the master for two years. Tomorrow will finally see the master. Naturally, you have to dress brightly." Xiang Cao took the words and said to Cui Ya.

"Yes, I'll go now, servant girl." Cuiya thought for a while, her words were indeed reasonable, she didn't doubt it at the moment, she walked out holding the clothes lingering in the fragrance.

Looking at Cui Ya's leaving figure, Xiang Cao whispered, "Second Miss, do you suspect that someone has tampered with this dress?"

Suxian blew on the green tea soup, and smiled approvingly, "It's not doubt, but certainty. The reason why I didn't tell Cuiya just now is that I didn't want to disturb her. You know Cuiya's temperament, if you know that the clothes are in She made a mistake in her hands, and it is inevitable to cry with guilt, and I don't want to see more tears like this."

Vanilla raised her slender eyebrows, couldn't help laughing and said, "I remember that the second young lady loved to cry so much at the beginning, I don't want to talk about others now, ha ha!"

"You girl, you're getting more and more talkative!" Suxian's face was flushed, and she raised her hands in a slapping gesture pretending to be angry.

"Second miss, this servant is a poor mouther, you must be merciful." Although she said such words in her mouth, Xiang Cao laughed and hid aside.

The two of them stopped arguing, and the atmosphere in the room was much lighter. Vanilla went to the teacup to refill the tea, and said tactfully, "Second Miss, please forgive this servant for talking too much, how does this servant feel? Sewing clothes is like a drunken man who doesn't care about drinking."

Speaking of this, Vanilla remained silent, but there was a faint smile in her clever eyes.

"It's just that you have a lot of eyes, haha!" Suxian chuckled, the girl Xiangcao is more delicate than Cuiya, she is very good at observing words and expressions, in her thoughts, Suxian coughed softly, and said seriously, "I am a drunkard, how about you?" Alcohol is not important right now, the important thing is whether others are greedy or not, ha ha!"

While the two were talking, Cui Ya's face was flushed, and she came back angrily. When she saw Suxian, she cried and said, "Second Miss, this servant is useless and can't protect your clothes. Just now, in the front yard, this servant met Miss Third." Seeing that the scent of your clothes is so strong, the third miss abruptly changed them with hers, and the second miss, you should punish the slaves."
