Chapter 8
Ruoyin casually trimmed the tulips, carnations, and elm plums on the table.
Then he casually inserted it into the glazed jade vase that the fourth master was rewarding, and said: "They haven't seen the fourth master in a month, and it's normal to want to gain a sense of presence. Your master, I won't join in the fun."
The point was that Ruoyin felt that he was not a virtuous material.
Besides, fourth master just took a rest at her place yesterday, if she invites pets again today, it would be a little bad, it's not good if she gets tired of being together every day, and she still has to stick to the half-sugar principle.
Anyway, Song and Li have both gone, she is missing a lot, and she won't make a fuss about any more.
Bringing some food to fourth master, and then eagerly looking forward to fourth master's arrival, she really can't do that kind of thing.
Wouldn't it be better to live a comfortable and wonderful life by yourself, maybe if you don't take the usual path, you can become a clean stream in the backyard?
At night, fourth master worked hard in the study for a day, stretched his body to stretch his stiff muscles, and glanced at the snacks brought by Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li.
For some reason, a beautiful and delicious face appeared in her mind. She used to deliver food to the study, but today she didn't follow suit.
Thinking about how different she was after recovering from a serious illness, she became generous, natural, elegant, and a little... silly!
Fortunately, fourth master thinks that all of this is caused by illness that made Ruoyin like this. Only after people have experienced a lot will they understand how to live freely.
------
After a day of recuperation, Ruoyin's body was not so sore anymore, so he asked people to call Li Shi and Song Shi to resume morning meditation.
Mrs. Song came early, it was only eight o'clock, and she arrived.
Ruoyin just finished dressing up. She was wearing a bright red flag dress, with a frivolous hairstyle on her hair, and only a few exquisite jade hairpins. After taking a picture in front of the mirror, she went out to meet Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song was wearing a half-new pink flag dress today, with a thin layer of makeup on her face, simple and elegant. When she saw Ruoyin, she got up and saluted: "Greetings to Fujin."
"You don't need to be too polite. You came early. Sit down." After speaking, Ruoyin gestured to Qiaofeng.
Qiaofeng understood and served tea to Mrs. Song.
After Mrs. Song agreed with a smile, she continued to sit down. She felt that Fujin had become more elegant and generous recently, and then, she took the initiative to find a topic: "The servant saw that Fujin's complexion became more rosy. Fujin is in good health, and the servant is also happy."
"Your mouth is sweet." Regardless of whether Mrs. Song's words are true or not, Ruoyin is happy to hear it anyway. She gestured to Mammy Liu and said, "Mommy Liu, go to the warehouse to get a few bolts of satin for you." Song Gege."
"Yes." After Mama Liu agreed, she went to pick it up.
The Song family was flattered and stood up to salute: "Thank you Fujin for the reward."
"Summer is coming, you can make some new clothes with it." Ruoyin waved his hand, motioning her to sit down.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Mrs. Li came slowly with her servant.
Mrs. Li is wearing emerald green smoked gauze clothes, with pink lotus flowers embroidered on the fabric, combing her hair twice, wearing red plum and gold silk hollowed-out pearl flowers on her head, and a golden lotus hairpin hanging upside down from her golden compartment, with a smile on her face, as delicate and beautiful as a flower.
It has to be said that Mrs. Li has a good appearance, but her eyes are somewhat sharp, which makes her difficult to get along with.
After she came in, she saluted fairly well, "Greetings to Fujin."
"Well, give me a seat." Ruoyin said lightly.
It is said that there are three women in one drama, but Mrs. Song is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and dare not offend anyone, without her involvement, this drama cannot last.
While chatting, Mrs. Li became restless and began to show off her power. She pinched her handkerchief and smiled at Ruoyin: "If my sister feels unwell, or if there is something missing in the yard, remember to tell my sister, and I will do it too." So that someone can send you to the main courtyard."
"No need, if you have the heart, I'll accept it. I'm just your servant. I really don't want to excuse you. You have to discipline me more." Ruoyin said as he picked up the cup on the side and took a sip. Then he put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Besides, I have everything in the main courtyard. Even if it is missing, I will go to Fourth Master."
She is a little serious, in terms of family, Li is a Han woman, the daughter of a little magistrate.
As for Ruoyin, she was the daughter of Fei Yanggu, the commander of the infantry, and her natal family was from Zhengbaiqi, Manchuria.
Regardless of Fujin's status or family background, she is more than a step taller than Li. I really don't know where Li got the confidence to show off in front of her.
Isn't it just escrow keys, and also a sense of superiority?
Li Shi didn't expect Ruoyin to retort like this, and thought that Ruoyin was the one back then, always unable to speak of his own Fujin.
She was stunned for a moment, but soon, she organized her words, "What Fujin said is that I will discipline the slaves after I go back, but I heard that the slaves under Fujin refused to obey discipline, and in the end it was the fourth master." Come forward and teach the slaves a lesson. If you want me to say, the fourth master is busy with business, Fujin really shouldn't let the fourth master do everything."
The chat was not pleasant, and Ruoyin didn't appreciate it, so Li Shi was no longer a sister.
"Slave seeks perfection but not much. I just sent away some slaves who ate inside and outside. How could I know that fourth master sympathized with me and thought that I had been wronged. He insisted on helping me vent my anger and troubled fourth master. In my heart, I'm also a little bit sorry." Ruoyin had a smile on his face, neither complacent nor arrogant.
And among the slaves she sent away last time, some were disobedient to discipline, and some were cheating, but there was no evidence, only signs, so she didn't explain it to fourth master.
Ruoyin's indifferent smile made Li Shi feel glaring, as if all the words she said were on the cotton, no matter how much she stimulated Ruoyin, Ruoyin didn't care.
At the same time, it reminded her that all the eyeliners she arranged in the main courtyard were sent away by Ruoyin, and she looked a little unnatural.
She pulled out a slightly stiff smile, and said, "So that's how it is. Fourth Master treats Fujin so kindly." Her words were a little sour.
"What are you talking about? Could it be that fourth master treats you poorly?" Ruoyin raised her eyebrows.
"What Fujin said is that the fourth master treats slaves very well, but Fujin is beautiful, intelligent, and graceful, which is far beyond the reach of slaves." At this time, Song's rare interjection eased the embarrassment.
"You, you, when you come to my place, your mouth feels like you've been smeared with honey." Ruoyin smiled at Song Shi. It seemed that Song Shi was smart, knowing when to speak and when to be quiet.
It's a pity that the family is not good. After giving birth to a girl and not supporting her, her health is poor, and she is not very energetic when looking at people.
Mrs. Li curled her lips, glared at Mrs. Song, and muttered in a low voice, "Sycophant!"
At the same time, she didn't take it seriously, if she hadn't done something wrong, fourth master wouldn't have left her in the cold and praised Fujin, causing Fujin to rise.
But this situation will not last forever, anyway, she is the only woman with children in the backyard.
Even though it was a girl, in this childless backyard, a girl seemed much more expensive.
Hmph, wait and see, who knows who fourth master will spoil in a few days?
