29、的表 ,几乎可说举目无依,一定会自动到她身边来,似风把浮萍吹到石头边。她不急。“我的母亲也曾差点病死过去一次。”柳少姨娘忽对宝音讲起故事来,“从前她是个很不称职的诸人,忽然醒过来,说有神君放她回来的,从此后她变了,人人都夸她是个勤快媳妇。”她从没对府里其他 少爷们讲过身世。宝音心头突突的跳:“哦。”“姑娘一定有事瞒得住妾身,但您沉得住气。”柳少姨娘赞赏道。宝音沉默片刻,忽而笑了:“您看我想做什么事呢?”她是一个鬼,披着人皮,想复仇,但见不得阳光。柳少姨娘却把话题荡开去:“如今给姑娘请脉的小刘大夫,长得极其俊俏。”对,俊俏得叫丫头们都忍不住咬耳朵使眼色的八卦。但柳少姨娘跟没出阁的 说这做什么?“
30、小粉蝶或许恋花,但仙鹤志向高远,仰首向蓝天白云,自然意趣不同。”柳少姨娘欠欠身:“姑娘不必对妾身说任何话,但凡有需要,记得妾身在这儿。”她的需要宝音明白了。柳少姨娘猜她志向高远,也许是想进宫。她愿意烧烧宝音这口冷灶。宝音唇边,笑容潋滟,重新向柳少姨娘行礼,不再继续这个话题,却问:“少姨娘对四姐姐,也是这样么?”第四十五章 毓秀垂钟附眉刀(2) “”宝音不知说什么好。“所以表 千万要当心、保重。”柳少姨娘又道。宝音已经没法说什么了。老太太院里有两个丫头出来,迎住她们,朗声问她们的安。这时候晓晖初透,东边天际长长一带绚丽朝霞。老太太正堂这儿布置得宜、金碧交辉,好一群人,花团锦簇,都聚在此处,专等着老太太。老太太还没起床。作女儿、媳妇的时候,她每天鸡才叫,就得起来梳妆,平头整脸正衣裳,去给长辈们请安高门大户里的诸人,也不是这么容易做的等她自己当上了婆婆,就可以稍微懒怠点儿了,再等她上头没什么长辈了,她就明目张胆的赖起床了。其实到这把岁数,老太太的睡眠已经很短了,前半夜躺下,到后半夜就会醒过来,再要睡也不怎么睡得着。但年青时没得懒觉享受的日子实在太痛苦了,她宁愿赖在床上磨蹭来磨蹭去,等太阳高,
