Chapter 18 Informed and Interested
No matter how reluctant Yu Zhi was to leave the Shocking Insects Yard, she was reluctant to leave Fourth Miss Wei, who was sitting in a wheelchair and basking in the sun safely, but she still moved her steps and followed the coming nun under Miss Fourth's gentle gaze.
She didn't know where she was going, and what was waiting for her. In short, she had died and been reborn in the previous life, and left the dark and damp running water alley. Her fate was no longer up to her.
She is Miss Wei Si's concubine, but she wants to be a well-loved concubine, and she still suffers.
In this world, nothing is easy to live.
It is not easy for cats to have cats, and it is difficult for dogs to have dogs. If you accidentally fail to reincarnate into a poor family and then meet a vicious master, it is an extravagant hope to die quickly.
Yu Zhi boldly handed her over to Miss Si, who had met once in the previous life. Fate tied them to a rope. Only when Miss Si is good, can she be good. If Miss Si is not good, if she can’t protect her, I’m afraid she will suffer. The situation is more difficult than the previous life.
In January when she came to Wei's house, she witnessed how the fourth young lady took advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold in the mansion. The good times had not yet begun, and Yu Zhi had to leave again.
Of course, after leaving this time, she must not disappoint Fourth Miss when she comes back.
A disappointing concubine, only to be abandoned.
She can be dumped.
It must be the day when Yao Chenzi cured A Niang's eye disease, and she accumulated a fortune to take A Niang out of Lingnan Mansion.
Before that, she had to tie Miss Fourth's heart firmly, if she couldn't leave her, if she looked over, she couldn't look away.
If she is willing to coax her with gold and silver, willing to protect her with her life, treat her as the most precious heart in heaven and earth.
Yu Zhi was taken aback by the ambition that had been dormant for a long time and emerged.
She turned her head and looked timidly at the Shocking Insects Courtyard. She walked too far and couldn't see the figure of Miss Fourth, only the flowers and trees swaying in the wind, which resembled her heart at the moment.
The old nanny who led the way laughed at her: "Have you missed it?"
The old mama is old enough to be her grandmother, Yu Zhi blushes in shame, thinking that she will inevitably have to trouble her to teach her everything in the future, her willow eyes curved into gentle and pleasing arcs.
He didn't say a word, just smiled, as if everything that should be said had been said.
Having lived to this age, Madam Wu has seen many bright-looking women, but even if she was prepared, she was softened by the girl's smile.
"It's right to worry about it. No wonder you worry about it. There are too many people in Lingnan Mansion who worry about Miss Fourth."
Men and women, Fourth Miss has never lacked admirers, but this is the first time she has brought a woman home and threatened to take a concubine.
It's wrong to talk about the master in private, but seeing Miss Yu's shy appearance who can't stand a little wind and rain, the right should be a good relationship, and Madam Wu kindly reminded her: "It's okay to worry about it, but you have to be careful."
Yu Zhi's attitude was gentle: "Please teach me, Madam."
Shy of money, she gritted her teeth and took out the jade butterfly that Fourth Miss stuffed into her little coat the night before.
Jade Butterfly Jade is warm and lifelike. It is a high-quality item. There are words the size of rice grains engraved on the wings of the butterfly.
It is the "four" of Miss Si.
Nanny Wu gave her a high look and felt that this girl had a future.
She didn't dare to accept the blatant bribe when she saw it, if it was something of gold or silver, she would accept it.
However, she would not accept anything that was the fourth lady's status symbol, not to mention a jade butterfly, even a single ink letter written on Bai Xuan.
There are dozens of Fourth Miss Jade Butterflies like this, but one of the dozens suddenly flew up to a branch one day?
"Girl stay here." She said kindly, "When the girl officially enters the gate of the Shocking Insects Courtyard, if you want to, come and thank the old lady."
Yu Zhi understood the meaning of these words, she withdrew her hand, and put the exquisite jade butterfly on her neck again: "I will never forget the kindness of the mother."
Grandma Wu sighed secretly that she was cute.
"As for this degree, naturally it can't be too hot or lukewarm. The fourth lady is deeply loved by the madam. To put it bluntly, in this Wei family, what she values most is the mother-daughter relationship with the madam..."
Yu Zhi followed Nanny Wu through a long corridor, carefully remembering these words.
Three butterflies landed lightly on the blooming peony, and one person was missing, and the scenery in the courtyard faded a lot.
Wei Pingxi groaned against the wind, waving the image of the beauty in his mind, and said softly, "Go get the ledgers from those shops."
The lesser half of Mrs. Wei's dowry was given to her favorite daughter. Fourth Miss Wei was in the Shocking Insects Courtyard, and she was already a rich man at her age.
A few shops is a euphemism.
Jade knew well that her lady was 'low-key', so she bowed and retreated.
Doors opened one after another, and Madam Wu stopped at a courtyard door with colorful flowers and willows.
The door is made of wood, with a fragrance, engraved with a pattern of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, it is just a wooden door, and it is a good thing that money cannot buy outside.
Yu Zhi doesn't know the difference between this wood and pear blossom wood, but she knows that behind the door is a brand-new field that she is not sure she has to be familiar with.
Nanny Wu tapped her fingers lightly, and soon someone came to open the door.
The one who opened the door was a girl in a green shirt with a lily bun and a red silk around her waist: "Nurse Wu?"
She looked behind Nanny Wu, saw Yu Zhi's figure and her gorgeous appearance as a matter of course, took a breath quietly, for no other reason, this [small courtyard] hadn't had a newcomer for several years.
"Just call her Hong'er." Nanny Wu turned her head and introduced to Hong'er: "This is Miss Yu, the concubine that the fourth miss called for. During this time, she has to study in our small courtyard."
"Oh! Miss Fourth's concubine!?" Hong'er opened her mouth in surprise, her almond eyes were round and round, she looked extraordinarily cute and cute.
Yu Zhi's good voice is better than that of a thrush: "Sister Hong'er."
Hong'er bowed slightly embarrassedly and saluted her: "I've met Sister Yu."
"Mother Wu, who is here?"
Four or four groups of girls came with their waists twisted, Yu Zhi secretly sighed that the girls twisted beautifully, maybe this is the real swaying posture.
When all the servants in the small courtyard arrived, Madam Wu solemnly said: "This is Miss Si's concubine, she hasn't been welcomed in yet, we need us to teach her how to serve others, after teaching her, Miss Fourth will be rewarded."
Yu Zhi's palms were sweating, and he mustered up the courage to stand up: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, everyone."
Miss Si's concubine.
Immediately, everyone looked at Yu Zhi's expression with admiration and playfulness, and the lead servant girl who was topless, showing her breasts, smiled charmingly and enchantingly: "I don't know what our Fourth Miss wants?"
"Knowledge and interest."
"Informative and interesting." Everyone showed ambiguous smiles.
It's not easy to be knowledgeable.
After hearing countless versions of the rumors, I didn't expect Fourth Miss to be really a womanizer.
Among these people, there are feelings and regrets. They feel that they are not as good-looking as Yu Zhi, and they regret that they are not favored by Miss Fourth.
Mother Wu instructed: "Go and prepare."
All the maidservants dispersed as they said, each busy.
The small courtyard was secluded and quiet, Yu Zhichu waited there for a while, and was led into a spacious bath by Madam Wu.
"The fragrant soup is ready, girl, let's go in."
Flower petals of various colors adorn the water, and the air is full of sweetness.
Seeing that she didn't move and looked ashamed, Nanny Wu understood immediately and sent someone to move a large embroidered screen.
"The old lady is half buried in the ground. Girl, don't take me seriously. Girl doesn't want to take off her clothes in front of people, so why not use a screen to separate you? You belong to the fourth lady, and you are taught or taught. In this small courtyard, there is no one. People dare to offend you."
"Nurse, don't underestimate yourself." Yu Zhi untied his belt and stepped into the bath, blocked by the screen, the servant girls who had been bold before knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
"This is a valuable fragrant dew outside. From now on, the girl will have to soak in this pool for three quarters of an hour every two days."
Hearing that it was worth a thousand gold, Yu Zhi almost stood up from the water, and finally suppressed her startled mind, she said: "Dare to ask Madam, what is this for?"
"Moisturizing and fragrant bone, excellent skin care product."
Just the daily maintenance will cost thousands of gold, Yu Zhi whispered: "Then what is the cost?"
"It's from Miss Fourth's account."
"..."
Yu Zhi let out an "ah", wanting to know how rich Fourth Miss is before she dared to throw money on her without scruple.
While feeling distressed for someone's white money, she told herself to be steady. Her coming here, to some extent, represented the face of Miss Fourth.
You can't teach outsiders to make fun of Miss Fourth's fancying a bumpkin!
She tried to catch her breath.
Nanny Wu knelt on the ground and introduced to Yu Zhi the cost of soaking once. Eighteen kinds of good things are mixed with this pool of fragrant soup. Yu Zhi asked tremblingly, "How many times does it take to make it?"
"It can range from half a month to more than forty days."
"Is there any particularity about half a month at least?"
"Soak until the flesh and blood are fragrant, and the breath is fresh and sweet when you are in love. That's half the battle."
"It's half?" Yu Zhi broke free from the weird picture of 'pickled radish', surprised: "What about the remaining half?"
"The remaining half, the girl will know soon."
A deodorant is perfect when paired with a balm.
Hearing that the balm is expensive, Yu Zhi no longer dares to ask how much the balm is worth.
"Scented dew should be applied to every inch of the body."
Nanny Wu clapped her palms three times, and a servant girl pushed the door in. It was the charming and enchanting person before.
"This is Shaoyao, Miss Yu, and let her show you the correct usage of balm."
Yu Zhi nodded, realizing that Nanny Wu couldn't see her through the bed curtain, so she lifted the curtain with shame, only sticking out her round head.
With a generous demeanor, Shao Yao took off her clothes, dug out a small piece of white balm with her fingertips, and applied it to her neck.
Not only the neck, the more delicate the woman's place is, the more it needs the nourishment of the balm, Yu Zhi blushed and closed her eyes.
Madam Wu's hoarse voice came at the right time: "Miss Yu, you have to take a good look, thin-skinned will not please Miss Fourth."
When Wei Pingxi was mentioned at this time, Yu Zhi's ears also became warm.
"Thanks to Miss Yu, this servant girl is lucky to use this ointment. This bottle of ointment is still recorded in Miss Si's account. If you don't read it, if you use the wrong method, Miss Si will suffer a lot."
Shaoyao turned her back.
Nanny Wu kept staring at the head protruding from the bed curtain, and if Yu Zhi retreated a little, she would get her kind advice.
After a while, Shaoyao panted and gasped.
Yuu closed his eyes.
This time, Nanny Wu didn't persuade her to continue reading, she needed to understand both the left and the right, so don't be in a hurry to understand it early or late, she said carefully: "Do you understand?"
Yu Zhi rubbed his ears, let go of his biting lower lip for a while, and said softly, "I, do I want to be like that too?"
"good."
The room was silent.
Shao Yao's legs were soft and her feet were soft, and she was helped out by her sisters.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yu Zhi was the only one left in the room.
She sat slumped on the bed, subtle struggles flashed through her seductive willow eyes, and the balm she held in her palm seemed like a scourge that would devour people.
The jade bottle is opened.
The lingering fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.
She sniffed, teardrops fell from her eyes in a thread, and the balm on her fingertips moistened somewhere, and she cried even harder.
It's not easy being a concubine.
It is very difficult to be the fourth lady's concubine.
Yu Zhi cried from beginning to end.
Grandma Wu, who was guarding the door, felt helpless when she heard the vibrato of crying and chirping inside: Why do you love to cry so much.
No wonder the fourth lady was worried before leaving.
It's no wonder that the master Tieshu Huahua is finally determined to be contaminated with the beauty of the world.
After a bottle of balm was applied, Yu Zhi lay naked on the pillow crying out of breath, her pretty face was flushed, and she couldn't tell whether it was from embarrassment or tiredness.
She softened her bones, thinking of Wei Pingxi, her heart trembled violently twice.
