Keep red beans and ask Qinghuan

Early in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, Ouyang Qing was basking in the sun in the yard, watching with great interest the servants tidying up the green plants in the yard.The apricot blossoms are lightly raining, the peonies are alluring, the hibiscus comes out of the water, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the plum blossoms.The Weixi Courtyard was originally empty and remote, but after such a tidy up, it is patchwork and fragrant in all seasons.

"Peach blossoms reflect red on human faces..." Ouyang Qing thought to himself.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, "You all be careful, don't knock yourself down, I won't be able to pay you if you sell you", only the mother's stern voice was heard.

Which play is this from?Ouyang Qing became vigilant unconsciously.

"Qingqing, I came to visit you for my mother." With a smile all over her face, Mrs. Xu led a group of people carrying large and small pieces of furniture and porcelain to decorate the room.

"Qingqing has met my mother, why is she free to come to my Weixi courtyard today, I haven't gone to greet you, it seems that I don't know how to be polite." Ouyang Qing said and made a blessing Please, you look very cute.

"Qingqing, you're welcome, what cumbersome etiquette are we talking about between our mother and daughter, please clear it up quickly." Xu said and helped Ouyang Qing up. "Isn't the master saying that we need to repair the Weixi Courtyard, otherwise you will lose your status as the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. I took my mother to the treasury to pick out some things this morning, and I will buy some new things for you. .”

"Qingqing thanked my mother, but I have lived in Zhuangzi since I was a child, and I am used to simplicity. These items are too luxurious. Qingqing seems uneasy and uncomfortable to use. I really dare not take them for granted. I am afraid that I will let you down. Mother's love."

"My dear daughter, everyone in this capital is like this, so why do you care so much? Come on, what are you doing standing there, quickly move your things to the back room." All the servants started working together again. "Qingqing, this golden nanmu dressing table is a very good product. Even Li'er asked me for it, and I was not willing to give it to her. This pair of cloisonné enamel porcelain vases is also very good for you to decorate your room. It’s a shame that you always put some flowers and plants in your house, which looks too deserted. There are also some celadon, white porcelain, underglaze red and so on, all of which are rare antiques on the market, and others will be envious when they see them.”

Xu introduced them one by one, as if showing off her family background, trying to show the kindness of her mother to Ouyang Qing through the preciousness of these utensils between the lines.It's a pity that Luo Hua intends to be ruthless. If he doesn't bring this money with him, he won't take it with him when he dies. How can Ouyang Qing care about these things.

"Qingqing thank you for your mother's love." Ouyang Qing made another salute, but instead of refusing, he readily agreed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu was very happy, and then said, "Qingqing, after all, you are also the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and it doesn't look like there are only three or five people around you. Come, mother picked a few maids for you, more Take care of your mother personally and feel at ease." As soon as he waved his hand, he saw four maids and two servants lined up neatly waiting at the bottom of the steps.The servant girl has an outstanding appearance, she can be known to be exquisite and flattering, and the servant is also very strong and burly.

"My mother is so loving, Qingqing is flattered. It's just that I have already collected so many furniture and utensils. How dare I add so many more people? I should be proud of being spoiled by others. I am the six servants. If you absolutely can't, please don't blame me, mother."

As soon as the words fell, the maid in the front row cried and said, "Miss, I have long heard that you have a kind heart and a bodhisattva heart. We are all poor people who came to the mansion voluntarily as slaves. If you see If we are clumsy and don't want us, we will have to be kicked out of the mansion. If you are merciful, accept us! We will serve you wholeheartedly, and there will never be any cheating, cheating or half-heartedness." After finishing speaking, there was a note Nodding his head, Ouyang Qing's heart trembled when he heard it.

The other five people also echoed, "I beg the eldest lady to show kindness and accept us."

This high hat is worn, and it will not work if you don’t accept it.

"Okay, then you all stay here in Weixi Courtyard for now, remember to be diligent and disciplined, and don't steal or play tricks."

"Yes, little one remembers."

"Qingqing, there are other matters in the mansion that I need to deal with, so my mother will leave first. You have to take good care of yourself." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mrs. Xu left satisfied.

"Qingqing respectfully send mother off."

When returning to the inner room, Ouyang Qing couldn't help being surprised by the sight in front of him. The shelves were full of antiques, and the usual ones were replaced with gold and silver wares. The Forbidden City is nothing more than that.It's just that there are so many good things in the house of a Marquis. These nobles really know how to search for the people's fat and people's anointing.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen smell bad, and there are frozen bones on the road." Ouyang Qing muttered in a low voice.

When Xiaodie saw Ouyang Qing, she shouted happily, ran to Ouyang Qing and said, "Miss, come and see, this room is really resplendent! Xiaodie has never seen such a luxury in such a big age." decorations!"

"Little Butterfly."

Ouyang Qing yelled in a low voice, and Xiaodie realized that she had lost her sense just now, so she quickly lowered her head to make amends, "Xiaodie has lost manners, please punish her."

"Just be careful in the future. I can't punish you for such a trivial matter. I don't blame you. You have never seen so many good things in Zhuangzi since you were a child." Ouyang Qing sat down and took a sip slowly. Tea.

"Miss, it seems that the master's words are really effective. You see, the old lady and the lady treat you differently. They are really caring. It seems that our hard days are coming to an end, and the clouds will bloom and the moon will shine. "Xiaodie smiled happily, dazzled by the good scene in front of her.

"Should the clouds bloom to see the moonlight? I'm afraid you are thinking too naively. In the past few days you have come to the Hou Mansion, have you ever seen anyone's house decorated so extravagantly? Even Mrs. Xu's house eats fast and recites Buddha's name. Although the jade ruyi, coral ornaments and yellow rosewood furniture are rare, they are also very low-key. My place is packed full, and there are also some eye-catching things, which are more luxurious than the mother who is in charge of her house. This makes other people think what to say. Does it mean that my mother dotes on me and is extremely virtuous, or does it mean that I am a young lady who takes advantage of my mother's prominent family background to bully others and take pride in her favor."

"Miss, it's... Xiaodie is too stupid. It's because you are thoughtful. But everything has been collected, what can we do?" Xiaodie was really happy, and she immediately frowned and turned into a sad face.

"I've collected everything, and I'll do what I can. If I try to evade in every possible way, it would make me seem difficult to get along with, and I don't know how to praise. I haven't seen so many good things. Let's go, come and enjoy it slowly. It's okay to put it all on display." It was a waste of my good mother's painstaking efforts."

There are policies and there are countermeasures. I, Ouyang Qing, have walked through the gate of hell twice, and I am still afraid that she will fail.
