13, new maid

After the old marquis's "Seventy-Seven", the family gradually became idle, and Mama Fang finally had time to do what her young lady had taught her to explain a long time ago, and she chose a few days, and finally selected four little girls who were less than ten years old and brought them to Yao Keqing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These little girls used to do work such as carrying water and running errands, and they had never served in close quarters, but now they looked at Yao Keqing from such a close distance, and Yao Keqing was not a kind face, they were all extremely nervous, kowtowed, asked for peace, and stood there with their heads bowed in a proper manner.

Yao Keqing watched back and forth from left to right, and from right to left for a few rounds, and the little girls who only watched were frightened, for fear that she would be dissatisfied and drive them out, and Mama Fang also thought that Yao Keqing didn't look down on them, and then Yao Keqing suddenly spoke: "Just say it! Say whatever you want? Just start with you!" Yao Ke counted the tallest little girl on the right.

The little girl stepped forward and bowed, spoke respectfully, and her voice was a little nervous, "Slave and maid Da Nier, she is nine years old this year, Lao Tzu and Niang are all in Zhuangzi, and the slave maid entered the house the year before last, first doing some rough work in the kitchen, and was assigned to the yard of the young lady in the month last year." Although the slave maid has been working in the kitchen for two years, she has not learned to cook, and can only cook a few simple snacks. ”

Yao Keqing nodded, and motioned to the next person, and the round-faced little girl also said as the previous one, "Slave Qingqing, she is 8 years old this year, her father works as an errand in the carriage and horse bureau, and her mother is a flower and plant in the flower room." The slave maid has been in the flower room for several years, and last year she came in with Da Nier, and the slave and maid followed her mother to learn to play with flowers and plants. ”

"Slave Dou'er, 7 years old this year, was abducted when she was a child, I don't remember who was at home, the slave maid was bought from outside last year, and has been working in the small kitchen in the yard of the young lady, but the kitchen here is rarely used once, Miss don't look at the slave maid is young, but the strength is great! Can you chop wood!" Hearing her say this, Yao Keqing glanced at her thin and small body, a little dark complexion, and didn't say anything. Mama Fang said secretly beside her: What an honest person, serving by the side of the young lady, what do you have to do with your strength! But fortunately, she is honest and obedient.

Xu is because he has been waiting for a long time, and the last chubby little girl is not very nervous, and she finished very neatly, "The slave is skillful, 8 years old this year, the father is on the porter, the mother is in charge of tailoring clothes in the needlework room, and the slave and maid also came to last year, and the slave and maid can embroider, and the flowers of this dress are embroidered by the slave maid." Saying that, she pulled her sleeves, and saw that the cuffs of the two sleeves were embroidered with a bunch of peach blossoms, although it was not very good, but she was only 8 years old, and it was not easy to embroider like this.

Yao Keqing silently thought about these four little girls in his heart: the first one is smart and calm and can speak, the second is simpler, the third is a real person, the fourth is skillful and has a sharp mouth, and her mother should be a certain lady in charge of needlework. "Since you have entered my yard, the previous name can no longer be used, and I have renamed you, your name is taro, and in turn longan, orange, and loquat. Yao Keqing pointed from the highest one on the right. The little girl hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, "In the future, let the pomegranate bring taro and loquat, and the peach with orange and longan! ”

Pomegranate and Peach hurriedly stepped forward to lead the little girl out, and Mama Fang personally added tea for Yao Keqing and said with a smile, "Let's enter the yard a few more times, but we can get all the fruits." Others named the girl either to be nice or auspicious, so Mrs. and Miss thought about the food. ”

"What's wrong with this, it's a blessing to be able to eat it! Looking at the fruit of this courtyard, I feel comfortable. Yao Keqing said with a smile.

"Yes, yes...... Miss is always reasonable, Miss looks comfortable, not to mention 'a few fruits', that is, 'a few fruit trees' are made. Mama Fang also laughed.

The matter of picking a girl in the Secluded Pavilion was not hidden, so the Miao family soon knew, and besides, the Secluded Pavilion was already short of girls, and the Miao family was not good at interfering too much, but he asked routinely when he asked for peace.

"I heard that you brought a few third-class girls in the yard?" Miao leaned on the chair and fanned her by the little girl.

"Yes, the granddaughter saw that the lack of third-class girls in the yard was empty, so she simply picked a few to make up for it. Mama Fang has been teaching for a while, and today she has come with two to serve, let them come in and say hello to Grandmother!" Yao Keqing got up and asked.

Seeing Miao's nod, mallow brought in taro and loquat. The two of them followed the pomegranate peach to learn the rules for more than half a month, and there was a grandmother on the side to supervise, at this moment to meet the old lady did not panic, respectfully kowtowed, the old lady asked, and answered properly.

"Hmm...... You're good at taubling! These ones are much better than these saw-nosed gourds around me. The old lady was very satisfied and said to Mama Fang, as for whether she was really satisfied or falsely satisfied, it was unknown.

"The old lady said that the slaves and maids don't follow, and now I saw two sisters who looked like shallots, and the old lady disliked the slaves and maids, so it can be seen that the old lady dislikes the slaves and maids for their unsatisfactory service on weekdays, and wants the slaves and maids to make room for these young sisters!" As the name suggests, the daffodils look like daffodils, and she is the most beautiful girl in the old lady's yard, although she is not as capable as the hosta, but she has a clever mouth, and is used to making people happy, so she is extremely favored in front of the old lady.

"Look, look...... I just said a word, and she said so much, and I was really spoiled by me, see that I don't punish you for starvation. The old lady pointed her hand on Narcissus's forehead and said.

"Old lady, the slave knows her mistake, and the slave will make up for it and make you a snack. With the old lady's permission, Narcissus withdrew. After sitting for a while, Yao Keqing also returned to his courtyard.

Mama Fang waited for Yao Keqing to change into her homely clothes, and said, "It's really hot this day, look, these clothes are soaked." Mama Fang took a cotton towel and carefully wiped her body, picked a light gauze skirt for her to wear, drank taro boiled, and took the chilled sour plum soup, Yao Keqing felt refreshed. She wasn't afraid of the heat, but she was sweating a little, and her clothes were soaked, but Mama felt sorry for her for this trip under the sun!

Originally, there was no need to take a trip, Mama Fang thought that Yao Keqing didn't have to go to Shou'an Hall for a few little girls, it was a hot day, but Yao Keqing had his own plans, so he specially led two girls to show their faces in front of Miao.

"This sour plum soup is a good thing to relieve the heat, but you can't drink too much, it's chilled, and children can't eat that much ice. Mama Fang saw that Yao Keqing had finished drinking a cup and hurriedly took the bowl, but she was not allowed to drink it anymore. Yao Keqing didn't mind, "Did you send it to Shen'er?"

Seeing Yao Keqing's question, the taro standing aside hurriedly replied: "I sent it, the third young master sent it early! ”

"Hmm" Yao Keqing nodded when he heard this, "Bring one to Mama, take out the rest, and you can divide it up for a few of you! ”

"Yes, Miss" the taro didn't take much effort to go out, so she sent a cup to Mama Fang, and Mama Fang drank it sideways, and the taro packed up the dishes and went out, and the taro went to the kitchen while secretly thinking: Although the second lady looked faint on her face, she didn't care about anything, but it was very good for the third young master. The second lady is good to them, although she is not close, but she never embarrass them, which is like other courtyards, no matter how favored the girl is, there is always a time to eat and hang.

Looking at the back of the taro in the distance, Yao Keqing thought thoughtfully, "What does Miss think of the taro?" Mama Fang looked at Yao Keqing's eyes, knowing that she had a plan in her heart.

"She is smart, she is very measured, and she never pretends to do what she does, she is meticulous and proper. Since she knew that someone might have poisoned her food in her previous life, which led to her death, Yao Keqing was very attentive to her diet in this life, and she was very satisfied with the fact that she did everything herself.

"Is that young lady planning to give her to the third young master?" Mama Fang was also very satisfied with the taro, thinking that she was the most outstanding of these people, and the other three were also the eldest of them.

"Don't worry," Yao Keqing shook his head, "Let's take a look again! Shen'er still has Yao Mama over there!" "Thinking of Yao Mama, Yao Keqing admires it very much, she went to Shen'er yard within a few days and renovated it, even the sweeping mother-in-law has changed her appearance, in the end, the person who has followed her grandfather is more capable of doing things than others.

Speaking of Mama Yao, the slave maid remembered that Mama Du, who used to only think that she was snobbish and snobbish, but now that she looks, she is getting more and more on the table, let such a person in front of the young master, you can't raise a good young master into a flatterer! Mama Fang frowned when she thought of that Mama Du.

Yao Keqing's heart moved, his grandfather didn't understand the twists and turns of the inner house, and he just stayed at the beginning just looking at Du's harmony, but now that he thinks about it, Du's temperament is becoming more and more inappropriate!

Yao Keqing also wanted to send Mama Du out, but this matter could not be rushed, and his grandfather had always been unable to intervene in the affairs of the inner courtyard, so he found such a thing by Miao's side and put it beside Shen'er, she was not a good idea, her good brother could let this thing be broken? But I don't know what Miao's aunt and nephew will toss out when I drove away Mama Du, the best way is to hold Mama Du in her hands, so that she doesn't dare to be bad in front of Shen'er anymore, if she stops, she is still willing to give the decency of the young grandma and grandma. It's just that if she toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then it's no wonder that she won't let her take Shen'er badly. I'm afraid that the estrangement of their sister and brother in the previous life also has her share of credit.

Thinking of this, Yao Keqing secretly made up his mind that no one should think about ruining the friendship between their sister and brother in this life. No one should even think about them!
