54. My younger siblings have grown up
As for her daughter, the eldest lady was ashamed enough, she didn't want her son-in-law to come to the house, but bring back a maid. Regardless of whether the servant girl has a name or not in the end, it is not very beautiful to say. What's more, if you say that you are forbidden, you have to be complained about by your daughter, or you will block your daughter. It's just that this brother of the Guo family has already released this sentence, if he doesn't send the maidservant over, it will seem that the Liu family has a rat belly and chicken intestines. After all, it's just a handmaiden.
"Dong'er, didn't we bring this maid back from Nianyun'an? It's only been more than a month, how did you get promoted to a first-class maidservant? Besides, I don't seem to know about it. By the way, has her background been clarified? The lady's family is noble, but you can't put some unknown people around. "The eldest lady is already going down the steps for Liu Dong'er, I hope Liu Dong'er can bear the pain and hand over the doll.
"Auntie, this maid was indeed sent to the city from Nianyun Nunnery with us, but we only took that kind of trip. Later, she went to look for her relatives, but she did not find them, and finally she sold herself to an assistant in my mother's dowry shop, and then she was sent to me. Liu Dong'er paused, her little face was full of grimness: "Since it is my maid who was given to me by my mother, Dong'er can't give her to others." ”
Fathers and elders give it, and you can't say goodbye.
Seeing that Liu Dong'er used this reason, both the old lady and the eldest lady knew her meaning. She would never hand over this person.
When the time comes, it is said that there are not enough people in the guest room, and a rough servant girl is instigated from the garden, and who will gossip? As for his daughter, it is a big deal to wait for the Guo family's brother to leave, and he will not let him take the maidservant girl away. Looking at his injury, it won't get better in a month or two, and when the time comes, no matter how good a person is, he should be tired of playing, right?
If everything is according to the eldest lady's thoughts, it will be a good end.
It's just that Liu Donger will agree?
"Doll, let me ask you, are you happy to leave me?" Liu Dong'er was also direct, since the eldest lady wanted to know the doll's thoughts, then she asked with a split face.
"No, the doll will follow Miss for the rest of her life. Fortunately, the doll still remembers to call Miss Liu Dong'er in front of people, although in her mind, Miss is far less close than the master.
"Doll, let me ask you again, are you happy to go to the guest room to be raised?" Seeing that the eldest lady was still a little hesitant, Liu Dong'er asked again, and at the same time quietly gave the doll a look.
"No, if the doll leaves Miss, she is willing to die headlong. "After so many years, the doll has long been in the same relationship with Liu Dong'er, and she immediately said nothing. Cut, when she doesn't know what the meaning of "flattery" is? The brother of the Guo family has no two flesh and two meats, and if he says that he is forbidden in the future, he will be a cripple, and the fool will still take a fancy to him!
The eldest lady was really choked this time, she didn't expect the doll to say so much. In fact, like a big family, it is normal to accept a maid from the family as a concubine. It's just that, no matter what can be regarded as a voluntary one, no one will want to spread the news that the master forced the maid to death. What's more, generally speaking, when encountering such merits, there is nothing that a handmaid will not agree to.
Coincidentally, this doll ......
The eldest lady shook her head with a wry smile, but she couldn't help but examine the doll carefully. Before, it was not that she had never seen dolls, but when she was in Nianyun'an at the beginning, she only thought that the dolls looked very delicate, but they were gone. Later, in the middle of the road, the doll showed her vigorous side again, and at that time she only thought that the doll was a country maid with a bit of brute strength. And when the doll became the maidservant girl in Liu Dong'er's room, the clothes on her body were well dressed and looked quite eye-catching, but it was limited to these.
It wasn't until today, after carefully examining the doll, that the eldest lady realized that this child was really ......
Alas, why didn't she pick such an auspicious person for her daughter?
"Old daughter-in-law, forget about it, I think the child is also a good one, and the second daughter-in-law personally picked it. Even if there is no one in this guest room, you can't make up the number of young lady's personal maids, right? Just as Dong'er said, change Ming'er to ask people to run again, be sure to pick a few good children. "The old lady usually doesn't express her opinion, but since she opened her mouth, the eldest lady can only listen, especially the old lady is still very reasonable.
Fortunately, the eldest lady is not such a person who is careful, so she put aside her distracting thoughts and responded loudly.
She really has to pick a few auspicious people, even if she didn't have time to place them at the beginning, it's not too late, right?
is different from Liu Zhang's soft nature, the eldest lady has always been the master who hears the wind. The first day he thought about his idea, and the next day he sent people to find a few well-known people in the city. It's just that the children in this person's hands are not necessarily every day, and after two days of anti-waiting, a person surnamed Wang Yazi brought more than a dozen little ladies into Liu's mansion.
Because in the name of buying a handmaid, this matter was not hidden from others. This is clear, there are only a few female dependents in Liu's mansion, except for Liu Zhang, who is not happy about this, the rest of the people are all here.
Liu Dong'er didn't want to buy any more maids, the maidservants in her room were still young, so she had to wait a few more years if she wanted to release them. The old lady doesn't care, most of the people around her have been replaced by daughters-in-law, and the only personal maid Liuli is not too old, and she will be seventeen years old after the New Year. The eldest maid of this big family is usually matched when she is twenty years old.
Naturally, the only one who really moved her mind was the eldest wife, on the one hand, she wanted to comfort the Guo family brother who was still recuperating in the guest room, and on the other hand, she also had the idea of finding a deputy in the room for her daughter. Therefore, she looked at the purchase very carefully. It's just that this idea of buying a little maid is idle, and those who can go to the Liu family are all officials, and the little ladies at hand are all trained, but the eldest lady didn't come with this in mind.
After picking left and right for a while, the eldest lady was stunned and no one was satisfied. It's either that your mind isn't outstanding enough, or your body isn't subtle enough, or your skin is too rough. made a person's teeth stunned.
Liu Dong'er was quietly amused by the side, this Liu family has never gone out to buy concubines, not to mention that the eldest lady entrusted someone to talk to Renyazi before, and she also said that she wanted a few smart little girls. This is really different from being an aunt, people only call maidservants for the Liu family's poverty, where can you think that the eldest lady wants to find two maidservants to marry?
In particular, two days ago, the eldest lady had just become psychologically attached to the doll, and unconsciously, she also raised her request.
This doll is not an ordinary person, and her appearance is not beautiful, but she is better than her stable temperament, and she is also loyal to Liu Donger. If the eldest lady really chooses people by comparing dolls, it will be really difficult.
After all the little ladies were denied by the eldest lady, Liu Dong'er had to come forward: "Auntie, if you don't like it, I want to pick a few." ”
The eldest lady waved her hand indifferently, these people were too far from what she had in mind: "Dong'er, you are free." ”
"Seeing that my younger siblings have grown up, and my mother's manpower has been distributed to my younger siblings, I thought it would be better to help her pick a few people, so as not to give her even personal maids to her younger siblings. "Although Liu Zhang's family is soft, he is extremely concerned about future generations. In her eyes, although the second master is her husband, he really can't be on the same level as his own offspring. Therefore, whatever good things are, they are the first to be followed by the descendants, and naturally the handmaidens around them are the same.
was prompted by Liu Dong'er, and the old lady remembered it.
In fact, there are many people in Liu Zhang's yard who are nails sent by the old lady. It's just that it doesn't make sense for the old lady to send those people, she just wants to look at Liu Zhang's a little. It just so happened that Liu Zhang's really didn't care about this, you just had to look at it, she asked herself if she had done anything wrong, so she didn't care who was spying on her! The old lady's people stayed in Liu Zhang's courtyard like this, and Liu Zhang's family didn't even have the desire to distinguish which ones were her own people and which ones were sent by the old lady.
In this way, year after year, when the big house came back, there was a lot of panic, and the old lady forgot that she had sent someone to monitor Liu Zhang's side. was prompted by Liu Dong'er, and the old lady remembered that it seemed that a few days ago, she heard that Liu Zhang's family had given Brother Rui the granddaughter of the wing house.
After carefully reminiscing about the manpower she had arranged in Liu Zhang's yard, the old lady felt a little bored. This daughter-in-law is too honest, and it is a little bad to be too single-minded with her, that is, there is no fun in fighting. It's just that, no matter what, the old lady still cares a lot about the grandchildren of the dragon and phoenix fetus. immediately made a decision, to choose a few handmaidens with good character and good appearance, to use to support their grandchildren.
The old lady has just finished measuring here, and Liu Dong'er has already selected a candidate over there. Thinking about the fact that the dragon and phoenix fetus are still young, Liu Dong'er picks all young people. A total of five people were selected, the oldest was eight years old, and the youngest was five years old, all of whom looked quite smart. Naturally, the maid who bought it from the inside can't get started immediately, and she has to let the housekeeper teach her a good lesson. Once you are familiar with the rules, you can send them to the master's courtyard.
Liu Dong'er turned around and gave the five little maids to the errand grandmother, and only waited for her to learn a lesson, and then sent them directly to Liu Zhang's yard. As for whether Liu Zhang's family looks down on it or not, it's another thing, and in terms of Liu Zhang's nature, he shouldn't refuse. It doesn't matter if he refuses, he will be placed in any position, and he will be at the mercy of the Liu family.
Because Liu Dong'er mentioned the dragon and phoenix fetus, the eldest lady also remembered: "This Lei'er and Brother Rui are getting bigger and bigger, and it's not good for the son-in-law and daughter-in-law to live with their mother all the time." Fortunately, they are not too old at this time, Dong'er is out of the house, it is better to put Lei'er in Dong'er's yard, and Brother Rui'er can go to Ruo'er's yard. ”
