Chapter 6 Old Love

　　The eighth young lady is covered with dust, sideburns scattered, the whole person looks very woeful, especially her kind of constrained timidity, not like a young lady of a big family, only like a small family of the general family. 　　The people look at the eyes, are thinking, in the end is outside the raised, can not get on the big stage, just into the house on the first day, make it so. 　　The First Mistress sized up Rong Hua for half a day before opening her mouth, ''How did you serve her? How much did you make the eighth miss suffer?" 　　Rui'er hurriedly confessed, "I was going to give Miss Eight a change of clothes, but Miss Eight heard that the garden was looking around for her, and didn't dare to delay ......." 　　The first wife scolded Ruier, "You have been in the house for many days, in front of the master is also powerful, how to be so confused, know, is that you did not think about it, do not know, but also when you are intentionally deceived the master." 　　Rui'er knelt down, "The slave girls don't dare." 　　The First Mistress turned her head to look at Ronghua, "Quickly let the maids wait and freshen up and comb," she paused, "It's also my fault for not telling you about the Grand Master beforehand, who would have thought that, you would meet the Grand Master so soon." 　　First Mistress reached out her hand to pull Rong Hua's hand, Rong Hua's fingers involuntarily trembled, First Mistress immediately unfolded a loving smile, "Look at you, your hand is cold, you must have been scared, right? It's all Jinxiu's fault for being unfavorable." 　　Eighth young miss hurriedly defended, "No, it's because I went far away and Jinxiu couldn't find me." 　　"Brother An didn't give you a hard time, did he?" 　　"No." Miss Eight replied honestly. 　　First Mistress nodded, "That's good, Jinxiu isn't feeling well, I'll still have Chun Yao follow you. When mom's maid is allocated to you in a while, there won't be today's incident." 　　Eighth Miss bowed her head and claimed, "Yes." 　　The First Mistress laughed again, "This child, it will be your home from now on, no need to be so formal. Tomorrow the day is good, I happen to be strolling in the garden with your second sister, you also come over, I will introduce you to the sisters in the house." 　　The eighth young lady nodded again. 　　Just as the words were said, another maid came in to report, "Eldest Miss is here." 　　The First Mistress froze for a moment, how could Shuhua come over again, could it be that someone told her about what happened here? 　　As soon as Missy came in, a glance stared at the eighth sister's face, if she hadn't heard it at the second sister's place, she wouldn't have known that this eighth sister, actually had the same name as the fifth sister, and was also called Rong Hua. 　　Miss slightly measured Rong Hua, immediately smiled, although all called Rong Hua, but this House outside the birth of the eight sisters than the five sisters can be too far away, this eight sisters at a glance shallow look very, there is no attractive temperament, unlike the five sisters, serene with a hint of beauty, bright eyes like a white color of the bright moon, with a woman rarely wise. 　　Eight sisters like this, empty appearance, only worthy of being a doll of the rich and noble family, get a moment of favor. 　　Thinking of this, Shuhua's taut face gradually had a smile. 　　Ronghua paid her respects to the eldest lady, Shuhua casually dealt with, just as Chunyao came back from the second lady's place, the eldest lady instructed Chunyao to take good care of the eighth lady, as soon as Ronghua left, Shuhua and her mother said a few words, and also left. 　　The house was suddenly cleaned out. 　　The First Mistress instructed the maids to retire and walked into the Biza Closet, and Mother Chen understood and followed. 　　The first wife rubbed her shoulders a few times, Chen mother hurriedly took over to pound and pinch, "Mrs., you see this tonight ......" 　　The First Mistress said lightly, "You go and check if anyone other than Jinxiu has been to the Fifth Miss's house." 　　Chen mom said, "Yes, do you think it will have anything to do with the eighth miss?" It seems that the First Mistress is still worried that someone in the mansion is taking advantage of what happened to the Fifth Miss back then to raise any waves, but not many people know about the Fifth Miss ...... 　　"A maid who just entered the mansion wouldn't know about that matter." Even less reason to go to that room. 　　Mother Chen smiles, "Yes, looking at that appearance of the eighth miss, she doesn't look like someone with a heart of gold, she shouldn't have anything to do with this matter." 　　First Mistress looked at Chen Mama from the trousseau mirror on the table, "How many times have I told you not to judge a person." 　　Chen mama nodded, "What madam said is true." There is no one in this house who doesn't have plans for themselves, and over the years she has seen quite a few hearts with honeyed lips and swords. 　　"The hearts of people are malicious." First Mistress smiled coldly, "But there will always be a time when it is current." She originally wanted to cold this Ronghua for a period of time, who knew that something like today would happen. 　　In front of everyone, if she didn't come up with anything to compensate this poor Ronghua, it would seem like she was too harsh. 　　Tomorrow, when the other young ladies in the garden are formally introduced to Ronghua, it will be considered that she has recognized Ronghua's status as a young lady. 　　The First Mistress rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, for the time being, give that girl some sweetness, if that girl is a decent one, then forget it, if not, let her be complacent for the time being, if a person is too complacent, he will inevitably forget his manners. 　　Chen mom also asked in a low voice, "Jinxiu that girl?" 　　The first wife sighed, "In the house temporarily find a place to recuperate first, if see good to stay, not good ......" 　　Can only be carried outside the house to recuperate, want to re-enter the house will be difficult. In case you die from poor health, it's just a few dozen taels of silver to get rid of things. 　　Chen mother nodded, slowly walked out, instructed the maids to go in and wait for the first wife to sleep, and went to settle Jinxiu before leaving. 　　Ronghua and Chunyao didn't go far, but Missy called out to Ronghua from behind. 　　Ronghua could only turn around and walk over with Chunyao. 　　Missy's gaze hovered over Ronghua's face for a moment, a fiery sight that made Ronghua instantly feel like she was being put up for sale. 　　Rong Hua bowed to the Great Miss in a regular manner. 　　The eldest young lady said: ''Self-sisters, there is no need to be so polite,'' she paused, ''They say that the eighth sister is an unlucky one, having grown outside for more than ten years,'' she turned her words around and smiled faintly: ''I see, the eighth sister is a most Blessed, who does not know that Chunyao is mother's first-class maid, that is, I want, mother still refuses to give it, but now it is allocated to you here, first help you, is not a great favor?" 　　"In the future, when the eighth sister has made a name for herself, she should be mindful of the goodness of the house." 　　Rong Hua's eyes instantly jumped, there was clearly a special layer of meaning in Missy's words, could it be that they had already made some arrangements for her just a short while after she entered the mansion? 　　Missy seemed to be about to say something else, when a maid had already hurriedly run over, "Missy, Auntie is here." 　　Missy's face could not help but fly up with a hint of a happy smile, her husband's family lineage had already brought her unlimited honor, and her husband himself was gentle and refined, so she didn't know how many people's envy he had attracted. 　　Ronghua raised her head. 　　Not far away, someone was carrying a lantern to guide them, and the long figure behind them slowly followed. 　　How many times had this scene appeared in her dreams, only that person was so far away that it was getting blurry, but now it was right in front of her, within reach. 　　His smile is always gentle, like pear blossoms with variegated light, pouring down obliquely. Years like running water, between three years he has changed his appearance, still the same gentle, just that the previous smile seems to be covered by something, only a shallow look on the side of the mouth. 　　At that time, she was in her father s book collection in the cabinet to copy the bibliography, inadvertently encountered him ...... 　　Later, whenever she saw him, he would always send a smile from afar. She did not dare to respond, but her heart was sweet. 　　Now, things have long since changed. She was shattered, he was already a husband. 　　The love affair has long been broken. 　　Rong Hua gently hung her head and blessed herself, "Brother-in-law is good." 　　Missy said, "This is my eighth sister, you haven't seen her yet." 　　Zhao Xuanhuan's smile was a bit light and not warm, "Eighth sister." 　　Missy was in an unusually cheerful mood, some of her worries had long been thrown out of the sky, "I was about to ask Chun Yao how the filling for the dim sum was made, so that the cooks in the mansion could learn from it." 　　Chun Yao glanced at the eighth miss, not daring to take credit, "That plate of dim sum wasn't originally something I came up with, it was the eighth miss who taught me how to make it." 　　"So it was eighth sister." Eldest Miss was a bit surprised. 　　Zhao Xuanhuan on the side suddenly spoke, "The name of the dim sum was also something you came up with?" Under the light, the eighth sister lowered her head, revealing a beautiful neck, making him feel a familiar skilfulness, hearing his words, the eighth sister raised her head to meet his eyes straight. 　　This kind of questioning, it was surprisingly exactly the same as before, especially his voice, suddenly lightened, his voice was gentle and ethereal, Rong Hua smiled, "No, it was also what I heard from someone." 　　The eighth sister's restrained gaze, but vaguely flickered with a touch of laughter, so that Zhao Xuanhuan could not help but froze for a moment, in the blink of an eye, he resumed his faint smile, "This dim sum name is good." 　　Shuhua said, "Let Chun Yao teach the cook, and if you like it, I'll make it for you from time to time." 　　Zhao Xuanhuan laughed, "No need, but it's just a novelty." 　　Ronghua stood still, only waiting for Zhao Xuanhuan and Shuhua to gradually walk away from her. 　　As Chun Yao guided her towards the residence, he asked her, "How did you meet the Grand Master." 　　Ronghua didn't reply, her first day in the residence was much more tumultuous than she had imagined, if she hadn't thought of the Grand Master, she probably wouldn't have gotten through it so easily, and it only caused Jinxiu to get sick for a while. 　　Ronghua returned to the residence, just a moment ago the cold and silent house, has become lively, four mothers, four rough maids, all stand in unison, see her hurriedly salute. 　　The First Mistress is quite good to her as a concubine daughter born and raised outside the mansion, the subordinates are really the same as when she was the Fifth Miss. 　　The night was already late, the maids served Rong Hua to sleep, Chun Yao served in the outer room. 　　After blowing out the lamp, the darkness passed and gradually the moonlight coming through the window pane could be seen. 　　The lively mansion returned to peace. 　　Rong Hua closed her eyes and laughed quietly, a smile slowly blooming at the corners of her mouth, searing her. 　　Those who thought she was timid, cowardly, and shallow would definitely be shocked when they saw it. 　　She was no longer that radiant fifth young miss, no, it was that she had learned to hide her splendor, to astringent just so that one day she could shine even brighter. 　　She would no longer be defeated under the fate of the concubine, she would take control of her own destiny.
