17 Interesting Maid
I just said that I didn't pray for her, but the matter of the scriptures carries the name of my grandmother and is also a reason to reconcile the sisters.
If you say it, it means you are admitting your mistake. If you don't say it, it means you didn't take your grandmother's teachings to heart. In any case, you are the one who is in the wrong.
Xiao Tingqi's face looked grim. She felt as if there was a tight string in her head, pulling it so hard that it hurt, and she felt an unbearable depression in her chest.
She wanted to scold her, but just as she opened her mouth, Meixiang suddenly tugged at her sleeve from behind.
His anger was interrupted and Xiao Tingqi turned sideways to glance at the maid.
Mei Xiang whispered, "Old lady."
It was like a bucket of cold water poured over her, and Xiao Tingqi came to her senses. Her grandmother had just spared her because she was going to attend a banquet at the Grand Tutor's house soon.
If I continue to confront Xiao Tingyun, I will definitely be the one who suffers.
She, Xiao Tingyun, wanted to anger her so that she would be completely disliked by her grandmother! !
She is dreaming! !
Xiao Tingqi calmed down and raised his head to face Xiao Tingyun. "My grandmother gave me the scriptures to copy. How could I be lazy? It is also my duty to pray for my family. I will read the scriptures several times and pray that you live a long life!"
Xiao Tingyun's eyes became more interested after hearing this. Her second elder sister has always been a person with ideas but no brains, but today's words made her look at her in a new light.
but……
That maid?
Xiao Tingyun glanced at Meixiang slightly, curled his lips, and looked at her with a sharp gaze, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Meixiang lowered her head, feeling anxious.
"Thank you for your kindness, second sister."
"Hey? Isn't Liu Xi always with Second Sister? Why can't I see her?" Xiao Tingyun asked casually.
Xiao Tingqi was puzzled. He changed the subject too quickly. "Since when have you been so concerned about my maid?"
"After all, I follow my second sister, so I naturally know a thing or two, so I asked."
Xiao Tingqi didn't reply to her. He just snorted and left with his men. Meixiang followed closely, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xiao Tingyun.
After the people disappeared, Xiao Tingyun's eyes darkened slightly, "Do you recognize the girl next to my second sister?"
Luzhi thought for a moment and said, "Looking at his unfamiliar face, I guess he was promoted recently."
Xiao Tingyun curled his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Even you feel that her face is unfamiliar, so she must have been promoted in a short time. She was promoted to a second-class maid in such a short time, and she can even let the second sister take care of her, which shows that this maid has some ability."
"She's just a maid. It shouldn't be difficult for her to please the Second Young Lady with a little cleverness, right?" Luzhi said hesitantly.
"Go check the girl's background." Xiao Tingyun said calmly.
She didn't think that was some clever trick. She saw clearly just now that the maid had to say something to calm her second sister down.
It was no luck that this good second sister was able to ask her grandmother to forgive her so quickly this time!
I don’t know who is behind her, but... it’s best not to damage the Xiao family’s reputation.
We'll see, whether he's a human or a ghost will eventually be exposed!
…
June 8th
Xiao Tingyun was pulled out of the quilt by Luzhi and the others.
"Miss, it's time to get up and dress up!"
Xiao Tingyun looked at the sky with sleepy eyes, covered his mouth and yawned delicately, "Well... isn't it still early?"
Lanzhi said with a smile, "It's getting late. We have to go to the Grand Tutor's house soon. Today, I will definitely use my best skills to make sure you will outshine all the other girls!"
Xiao Tingyun pinched Lanzhi's little face and said jokingly, "Lanzhi has some special skills that I haven't seen before. It seems that she has kept them to herself."
This made Lanzhi feel resentful. She pouted and said, "What are you talking about? You have never liked those jewelry and silk dresses. You dress very simply and elegantly. You have left me no room to show my talent."
"Hahaha..." After hearing this, Xiao Tingyun's sleepiness disappeared a lot.
"Miss just doesn't like to be in the limelight. Before, when she was in the Song family, she didn't like the poetry gatherings and flower-viewing banquets of the ladies and young ladies. After coming to the capital, she hardly went out. That's why there are rumors in the capital that you are ugly as salt. Lanzhi was so angry that she wanted to scold those people for several days!" Luzhi explained.
Xiao Tingyun supported his chin with his hand. Is he ugly?
Looking at myself in the mirror, is it her?
Thinking of the woman in the mirror, he blinked his eyes, her pupils were as clear as autumn water, lazy yet elegant.
"Okay, today you are allowed to demonstrate 50% of your skills. Your young lady will be handed over to you. Don't be too out of line. I am not the protagonist." Xiao Tingyun's casual attitude made the girls laugh.
"Hey!" Lanzhi was even more ready to show off her skills.
Her young lady's hair was black and smooth. She raised her hand and smoothed it carefully, combing it gently. Her hands nimbly gathered most of the hair and tied it into a bun.
Xiao Tingyun was very bored, so she asked Luzhi to bring her the notebook that she had not finished reading last night.
After turning the pages one by one for a quarter of an hour, Lanzhi said excitedly, "It's done!"
Xiao Tingyun raised his head to take a look. It was grand yet polite, indeed quite good. He gave it an appreciative look.
"Miss, which dress do you want to wear?"
Xiao Tingyun pointed at a smoky purple dress and said, "Let's take this one."
She went into the inner room and asked Lanzhi to help her change her dress. When she came out, both Lanzhi and Luzhi couldn't help but be amazed.
"Miss, you are so beautiful!" Lanzhi proudly admired her masterpiece. It was so beautiful that she couldn't describe it. She was more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen!
Xiao Tingyun smiled, walked over to the mirror and looked at himself, a little dazed.
The woman in the mirror has a thin figure, but an upright posture and a straight back. Her every frown and smile has a temperament that does not belong to this era and is extremely attractive.
It was the confidence and agility that the era of freedom and equality gave her, and she was a woman that could not be born in this era.
Then he looked at the hairpin on his head again, pursed his lips, thought for a while, then raised his wrist and took it off.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Lanzhi pouted unhappily and tried to stop Xiao Tingyun. It was so beautiful, why take it off?
The hairpin is gilded, with a plum blossom in full bloom on top, which looks lifelike.
Xiao Tingyun turned around with his brows lowered, "Let's change to the lotus jade hairpin, the color is better."
Lanzhi stamped her feet and tried to fight for it again, but Luzhi stopped her and shook her head.
They are maids, and the most important thing is to obey the arrangements of the mistress.
Lanzhi took the hairpin from the young lady's hand pitifully, and found the lotus jade hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on Xiao Tingyun.
"Hey?" Lanzhi looked at it in surprise, "This hairpin is actually quite good!"
Lanzhi's craftsmanship is very good. She drew a willow-leaf eyebrow for Xiao Tingyun, with a curved end. In the center of the eyebrow, she drew a flower ornament in the shape of a lotus, which echoed the hairpin on her head.
It’s not that Xiao Tingyun likes lotus very much, it’s more accurate to say that Xiao Tingyun doesn’t have any particular favorite type of flower.
Xiao Tingyun's brows twitched, and the lotus seemed to come alive, dazzling red, making her skin look even more white and translucent.
"Are flower ornaments popular among women in the capital now?" Xiao Tingyun was curious. She had rarely been out and was not interested in these fancy things. Now she seemed a little ignorant in this regard.
Lanzhi smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not really a novelty."
Xiao Tingyun wanted to wipe it off, it was really a bit eye-catching.
Lanzhi seemed to know what she was thinking and said hurriedly, "Miss, it's too late. You still need to have breakfast."
"Miss, just do as she wishes, otherwise she will pout and be in trouble." Luzhi said jokingly.
"Hmph!" Lanzhi nodded seriously.
Xiao Tingyun nodded with amusement, "Okay, if you stick your pout out again, you'll become ugly."
"I can be a little ugly, but not the young lady!" Lanzhi doesn't care about herself at all, she only cares about the young lady being beautiful!
Xiao Tingyun turned his head and saw himself in the mirror again. The lotus was shining brightly...
