"No matter how you stuff people, the young lady only provides her! and then picks a little girl who fits her eyes and trains her!" "The girl that the grandmother gave to the concubine is quite dignified, if Xiao Miao really sent a girl to Yao Keyi, even Ruizhu would be crushed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yao Keyi said a little impatiently, "Let's talk about it then!" After a pause, he said, "Can I buy the lacquered luodian ebony box that I asked you to buy?"
"Got it!" replied Ruijoo as she took out the box.
"That's good, hurry up and put the longevity boundless embroidered screen embroidered by the eldest sister for me and the pair of embroidered shoes I made, and you will personally send it to the eldest princess's mansion!" The eldest princess sent something to Yao Keyi during the Dragon Boat Festival, but Yao Keyi didn't know how to return the gift, and finally stayed up late to make a pair of shoes, but he felt that his craftsmanship was not good, so he asked for a pair of Yao Kerong's embroidery from Yao Kerong and framed it into a kang screen.
Rui Zhu hesitated a little and said, "The eldest lady's embroidery screen craftsmanship is exquisite, but the young lady's shoes are..."
"Are you afraid that I will be compared to the eldest sister?" Seeing Ruizhu nodding, Yao Keyi continued, "The eldest princess already knew that my craftsmanship was not good, and the shoes I made by myself felt rough and I couldn't handle it, so I begged the eldest sister to embroider a kang screen for me, but the shoes I made myself made were my heart, and it had nothing to do with the quality of the gift, so I gave the eldest princess the shoes I embroidered myself and the kang screen embroidered by the eldest sister!"
Rui Zhu immediately understood that Yao Keyi was going to expose her shortcomings in order to win the trust of the eldest princess, and helped Yao Kerong by the way, so that Yao Kerong remembered her goodness, "The slave knows how to tell the eldest princess!
"My gift is not worth much, if I don't take a valuable box, I'm afraid that the people of the whole house will look down on me! Etiquette is light and affectionate, it can only become a good story under the premise of having money, a person with a lot of money is to give people a thread, and some people will praise him for being thrifty, but if a beggar gives someone a thread, it is not a joke for nothing!" Yao Keyi had a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.
Rui Zhu was a little worried, "But Miss's monthly routine is not much, I lived in the princess's mansion for so long last time, and most of the money I have saved over the years has been spent, if the princess's mansion sends things a few more times, I'm afraid I won't even have the money to buy embroidery thread!"
Yao Keyi stroked the tortoiseshell and shells inlaid on the ebony box, gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you are short of food and clothing, you can't lose face in the princess's mansion, besides, isn't there still an aunt?
I'm afraid that Aunt Dai doesn't have much money, but she has also spent almost a lot on the eldest lady! This sentence turned around Ruizhu's mouth a few times, but she still swallowed it in the end, for fear of ruining Yao Keyi's interest, and for fear that Yao Keyi would suspect that she would provoke their sisterhood.
Yao Keyi was still thinking about taking the silver from Aunt Dai to please the princess's mansion, but she didn't expect that there was a more money-paying thing waiting for her.
"I heard that there was a girl next to Sister Yi who did something bad and was kicked out?" "Since Yao Keyi saved the eldest princess, the eldest princess has sent Yao Keyi things a few times, and the old lady has paid more and more attention to Yao Keyi, the granddaughter of the concubine.
"Yes, mother! The daughter-in-law is about to tell you about this! Or Mother He told her daughter-in-law that she found a purse on a boy in the outer yard, and felt that the formation was very familiar, and then she saw a gown made by Sister Yi for her daughter-in-law, and she thought that it was made by a person, and Sister Yi said that this gown was made by her girl Ruijin. I asked Ruijin about it, and she confessed to seeing each other in private with the kid in the outer courtyard. Ruijin is serving by Miss's side, if this kind of thing happens, where can I keep her, but our Yao family has always been merciful, and only let her go home, and she can't go to the house on an errand anymore!" "Xiao Miao's family was trying to teach Yao Keyi a lesson, but she was snubbed by Xiao Miao's for a long time, and Mother He, who was bent on making some merits to regain Xiao Miao's reuse, guessed Xiao Miao's thoughts, so she paid attention to Yao Keyi everywhere, and caught Ruijin's handle in a few days.
The old lady nodded, "You did a good job, now that the girls in the family are older, and Sister Rong has reached the age of discussing relatives, this reputation must not be stained." ”
Xiao Miao echoed, "Yes, Sister Rong is now thirteen years old, and she is fourteen years old, it's time to talk about marriage, and her daughter-in-law is planning to take her out and walk around more!"
The old lady approvingly, "Sister Rong is recorded in your name, that is the eldest daughter, she is married, and you have a bright face!"
"Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law has something to discuss with her mother!"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"According to the practice of the house, the young master and the young lady should be surrounded by two first-class girls, four second-class girls, and eight third-class girls, and the concubine is a first-class, two second-class, and four third-class, and the young masters' little girls are counted separately. But because the children were still young, they have not been fully staffed, and now there are two second-class and four third-class people around them, which is too shabby. Last time during the Dragon Boat Festival, the cousin of the Miao family was waiting with seven or eight girls, but there were only two little girls in our house!"
The old lady's face was a little bad, "Caidie is married, and she is married to King Cheng, so it's okay if there are more people around you!"
Xiao Miao continued, "The daughter-in-law has no intention of comparing with others, but this rule can't be messed up, and the concubines are different.
The old lady remembered that Yao Keyi had calculated Yao Kerou's affairs when she was Duanyang, and sighed, "What you said is also reasonable, there are different concubines, and the rules are not chaotic! Then make up all the places according to what you said! First choose from the children in the family, and buy those that are not enough from outside!"
Xiao Miao answered, and asked again, "The spring fragrance in the sister-in-law's house is also about to give birth, do you want to prepare a girl for the child in her belly?"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "You don't have to ask me about this, you go to your sister-in-law! She is so precious Chunxiang's belly, she has to pick someone, and let her pick it herself, so as not to blame you when something goes wrong!"
Xiao Miao nodded, and began to think about taking advantage of this opportunity to choose a few for Yao Kerou, and look at the young lady of the Yu family, that is what a famous lady should do. And there is a lot of oil and water in this selection person, and he can make a lot of money again.
Seeing Xiao Miao's happily leaving, the old lady sighed again and again, "She is doing this from those who are red-eyed, and she wants to talk about Caidie, because she knows that I have a knot for my sister-in-law's family, and this is to provoke me!"
Mama Li comforted, "The second lady is also for the decency of the ladies in the house!"
