Chapter Ninety-Six: A Man Full of Warmth
"How come the girls in the Hou Gate can only have two big girls? I was negligent before, you look at the two of the four second-class girls," Han Shi paused, "I forgot, it's just that the ink is dyed, Jiao Qian's girl seems to have come up when she was seven or eight years old, and now she is ten ** years old!"
Mama Kong nodded, "The slave remembers that she is also this age." ”
"You carefully look for which three are good, bring up two, and you won't be too anxious when Jiao Qian promises someone in the future. Han gradually lowered his voice, "After all, people are not nameless people."
Mama Kong knew in her heart that Mrs. was really annoyed by Jiao Qian and Mo Ran, and planned to move them, but neither of them was easy to move, and she had to take into account the girl's thoughts, so as not to make the mother and daughter so detouring. According to her understanding of Mrs., if it was only a matter of the past, Mrs. would not be so stingy, and it seems that Mrs. is still annoyed by their closeness in the girl's heart.
"The slave looks at the peaches and oranges"
Just as Han and her henchmen were discussing the replacement of the disobedient slaves, Jia Lu's Yuanzhong Garden stopped after a busy while, the lights dimmed and everything was silent.
Some distance from the hospitalization of the back wing, "whoosh", the door curtain lifted, a gust of cold wind poured in, in March and April, although the spring is melted during the day, at this night, the cold wind is whining, like winter.
The person lying on the kang seemed to feel the cold wind and moved his head to the bed. Fortunately, the person who lifted the curtain also knew that the cold wind was strong, and closed the door in a moment and the curtain was closed.
There was no cold wind, and the moonlight was also lost, and the room was darkened for a moment, and the person who entered the door carefully guarded the dim lantern in the palm of his hand, and placed it on the large round stone table in the hall, reflecting the flickering light, and the person who came groped for the fire fold on the table, and gently blew and lit the oil lamp on the table, and in an instant the lamp was on, and under the light, a chubby and mellow face and amiable face became clear. Who are you? It turned out to be the most popular Mama Zhao, Mama Zhao is good at eating, kind and generous, often cooking food for everyone to share, even Sister Lu also loves to be close to Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao didn't light the lamp on the wall again, blew out the lantern she carried in her hand when she came, and went into the back room with the small oil cup and put it on the table in front of the kang.
On the kang, a person came out of the quilt, although the light was not very bright, but it could be seen that it was really Mama Li, in the past, she was strict and serious, and Mama Li could scare people in a cold sweat at a glance, but now her hair is messy, her face is pale and weak, and she is more than two or three years older than usual.
This Mama Zhao came to see Mama Li, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. You must know that Sister Lu values Mama Li the most on weekdays, but she is closest to Mama Zhao, on weekdays, Mama Zhao stays in the kitchen a lot, even if there is no work in the kitchen, she doesn't come forward much, others ask, just don't want to dye the filth to Sister Lu, and Mama Li is in charge of the overall situation on weekdays, and rarely leaves Sister Lu's side at the end of the day, who would have thought that these two Mama not only have nothing dirty, but also have such a good relationship?
Mama Li raised her eyelids, and when she saw that it was her, she said weakly, "You're here." ”
Mama Zhao responded, leaning sideways and carefully doing it on the side of the kang.
"Since you haven't been in a proper position and haven't rested properly, why don't you come to me?"
After Mama Zhao sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief, shook her hand and said, "No need, I have rough skin and thick meat, what is this punishment, how can it be like you, your body is weak, and you still carry so much." ”
This girl ran away, even if the Han family secretly agreed, there was still a punishment on the surface, and the punishment was many, but because they didn't arrange it when they left, there was only one girl and a few little maids and rough mother-in-law left in the yard, so a few big girls, the punishment for raising grandma was heavier, and a few maids were pulled to re-train one or two, and among the upbringing grandma, Mama Li, who taught rules and etiquette, was punished the heaviest, and the chubby Mama Zhao was really not seriously injured.
"You are not better than me who came in from the ordinary people outside, since you have been in the palace for so many years, you have a bit of decency, if you plead, the old lady has to give you a loose face for the sake of face, why do you still have to carry it all?"
"You know there, the old lady is also a person who has been impregnated in the Dahou Mansion for half her life, if I don't carry it, you won't be able to see anything when she is her. ”
What Mama Li didn't say is that there are hundreds of new palace maids and eunuchs in the palace every year, and there are dozens of palace maids and eunuchs who die "accidentally" in the palace, and there are palace maids who are released from the palace every three or five years.
Mama Li shook her head, "The girl is back, but what's the news?"
Mama Zhao replied, "As soon as the girl came back, she was served and fell asleep, and there was no movement on the old lady's side." ”
Mama Li asked anxiously, "Then how many of them are back?"
"Haven't come back yet. ”
Mama Li frowned first, then let go, pulled the big red embroidered quilt behind her, and lay down again. Mama Zhao knew her, and at a glance, it was clear that the matter had generally passed, and after relieving herself, she raised her own questions.
"Old sister, why didn't you stop the girl in the first place, with the girl's respect for you. I won't leave alone, so why not stop it?
Mama Li didn't want to explain more, but then she thought about it, her old sister had a simple life when she was outside, and she was sold into the mansion because of her good cooking skills, and she was favored by the masters, and she was assigned to the only girl in the mansion. But she is in charge of the kitchen, how much calculation is inseparable from food, it is okay in the house, once she follows the girl out, it is so easy to be calculated and how to be good. Moreover, according to her speculation, those second-class ones are about to be raised, and the peaches that follow her are not easy to mess with, so it's better to mention them.
"What kind of person do you think the girl is?"
"Our girl is naturally excellent, with good appearance and good temperament, even if it is excellent for our subordinates"
Mama Li interrupted and asked, "So what about Miss Lin, Miss Xue, Second Girl, and Third Girl in the mansion over there?"
Mama Zhao tilted her head and thought for a while, "Those girls are naturally good, objectively speaking, Miss Lin is the most talented, Miss Xue is considerate, generous and dignified, these girls are also slightly deficient in these aspects." But somehow, I always felt that our girls warmed my heart more. ”
Mama Li nodded, although her old sister is simple-minded, she is also very sensitive, and she feels good.
"This is our girl is too sincere, from ancient times to the present, slaves, slaves, subordinates are humble, even if the master is kind, he will never treat these people as a "person", the deed of sale is the master's, the life is the master's, and the thoughts are also the master's, as long as the idea changes, it is a dog who betrays the master. I don't know how our girl looks, although she also accepts our service, but always, there is always a sense of equality, she doesn't like people to kneel and worship, and she never allows people to kneel to serve her" Mama Li thought about the master who was full of warmth, and gradually lost her mind. In the dark for many years, it is the first time to meet such a person, a person who understands reality but does not agree with reality, she doesn't want such a woman to be the same as reality, but she doesn't want to see her ruined by reality, Mama Li's eyes flashed a hint of fierceness.
"In this back house compound, the most intolerable thing is soft-heartedness, that is, equality, is too much belief, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, master servants, concubines, the world has set this high and low, it cannot be broken, at least on the surface, the subordinate will never be as good as the master, and the outsiders will never be as good as the relatives. The girl's affection for us must not be as deep and true as that of the old lady. ”
Mama Zhao didn't move much in front of her, and finally knew that the girl couldn't let the old lady and others feel that these servants had taken their place in the girl's heart. In order to let the girl understand this, the old sister naturally set up this bureau.
"Then you're not afraid of messing with the people behind Jiao Qianmo?"
Seeing this, Mama Li also knew that she didn't seem to understand, so she sighed secretly and said,
"If you dye it, this is Ning Guofu, not Rongguo Mansion, and it is not the turn of the people behind her to call the shots. Jiao Qian, Jiao Da can guess it, even if he guesses, with his master's heart, he also knows that he will not be anything, and with him, what else can happen to Jiao Qian. ”
