Chapter 39: The Bottom Line
"Besides, even if she really mentioned it, it is not a big mistake to let you come back and tell in advance, and it is not worth knowing the master. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Chen slowly drank all the cups of Ejiao Guyuan paste before smiling at Mother Hu: "It's just that you are deceiving the master on your own initiative, do you think it is necessary to let the master know?"
Mother Hu's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly defended: "The old slave doesn't dare to ......"
"Don't you dare, haven't you already done it?" Chen's face suddenly turned pale: "Do you think I'm old and confused, and I can't look at people?" She pointed outside: "The second daughter-in-law's weak temperament, you have to say that she wants to stay in her mother's house, I just said it, the master will not believe it!" She shouted: "You will believe me!"
Mother Hu knew that it was amazing, and knelt on the bluestone brick with a plop and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The old slave was confused for a while, confused for a while." Please spare your life, spare your life......"
Chen Shi watched with satisfaction the performance of Hu's mother who was frightened and panicked, until her scalp was bleeding, and then said: "Get up, this is the first time, forget it, ...... in the future" She paused: "You do well, I will naturally not treat you badly, speaking of which, your girl Hongxuan is not small, and I will match her with a good little girl when the time comes......"
When Hu's mother heard her mention her daughter, her heart sank, and she knew that this was a warning...... If the performance is good, it will be a good one, and if the performance is poor, then it will be a bad one. hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "The old slave must do his best, report to his wife truthfully in every detail, and dare not be smart anymore......" Hu's mother is also clever, and she guarantees one by one, so she got a nod from the Chen family and went back to serve.
Jin Niangzi watched Mother Hu go out, and then came in to collect the Ejiao Guyuan plaster cup: "A slave is also so cunning, Madame bothered." "She is Chen's dowry maid, she has been with Chen for decades, she has been serving since she was a teenager, she has a deep feeling, and her honor and grace are also the first part of Heshoutang, and she has a little more face than several aunts in the house.
"She is not afraid of being smart but being mistaken by cleverness. Chen said with a smile: "I sent her to watch the second courtyard, but she would understand, guessing that I probably don't like the second daughter-in-law, and I will arrange people to death when they have the opportunity or two." Such a person has to scare her. Chen narrowed his eyes, very happy: "Brother Rui'er's daughter-in-law, I look very kind-hearted and understand the rules, you see her enter the door, never look around, her eyes are only staring at her toes." Bao Buqi's soft temperament is good to Hu's mother, and after a long time, Hu's mother has other thoughts, and she is alone...... Today's out, even if Mother Hu has the heart, she doesn't have the courage to ......"
Jin Niangzi said yes with a smile, flattered the Chen family for a while, and made the Chen family happy before she opened her mouth to get down to business: "Then how to arrange the second grandmother now?"
"A proper portion and food and clothing, don't lose her, in the end, we are a serious second grandmother, if we eat and drink for a short time, we still have no face in the end. Chen pondered: "The main thing is to watch and don't let her run around, especially don't go to Aunt Mei, that's a capable, uneasy ......"
Mother Hu was taught a lesson by Chen, and when she returned to the yard, she was angry, and saw that a little maid was passing under her nose, and said angrily: "What are you doing sneakily?"
The girl was Chunxing, she was scolded inexplicably, Mother Hu was fierce and vicious, she seemed to be in a bad mood, and she was so scared that tears came out: "The slave maid is not sneaky, but the clothes washed by the pulp should be sent in to the second grandmother......"
"Are you also worthy of entering the main room?" Mother Hu stared, seeing Chunxing's snot and tears, she became more and more upset, and fanned it with an ear scraper, and Chunxing suddenly had five slap marks on her face.
He Jiaxian listened to it in the house, raised his head and looked at Xuanzhu suspiciously, Xuanzhu went out with the curtain and asked, and came back after a while: "A girl bumped into her mother, and she was beaten by her mother, and she was going to make a fuss......
He Jiaxian got up to go and look, but Xuanzhu pressed her into the chair: "The next person is not sensible, and Mother Hu will discipline her, this is not something that the second grandmother is worried about......"
He Jiaxian wanted to get up, but Xuanzhu glared at her: "Second grandma, don't worry about it, Mother Hu was sent by Mrs. to take care of the yard, so it's naturally more appropriate." ”
He Jiaxian suddenly realized that not only Mother Hu, but also Xuanzhu did not take themselves seriously. I suddenly felt bored, but because of my background, I felt a little inferior, and I didn't dare to really conflict with them, so I got up and put the notebook in my hand on the table: "I'll go to the yard for a while." ”
Xuanzhu hurriedly walked in front to block her way: "Second grandma, why don't you rest more, I'm tired of running around today!"
He Jiaxian ignored her, twisted his body and stretched out, and when he went out to the courtyard outside, only a few mothers-in-law were cleaning, Hu's mother went back to the house to rest, and she didn't see the beaten maid, it was clean and peaceful, as if everything had happened. She sighed and thought of what He Yinlan told her: watch more, listen more, and think more.
If you don't have to watch it, then listen to it.
He Jiaxian looked at Xuanzhu with a wary look on her face, and instructed her to move a chair and sit under the porch, before asking: "I am a newcomer, and I don't understand some rules, such as greeting my mother in the morning, what time is it, what are the rules?"
Xuanzhu replied in surprise: "Mother Hu didn't tell you? This is a courtesy that should have been explained to you early yesterday morning." It doesn't matter, 1510 answers.
He Jiaxian thought of Hu's mother's style, and did not make a sound, but only listened to Xuanzhu say that he had to go in the morning, and once in the morning and once in the evening on the fifteenth day of the new year.
Xuanzhu also reminded that in addition to the Chen family tomorrow morning, the rest of the rooms should also be carefully visited, and listed the residences of the aunts and the courtyards of several young ladies.
The aunts live in the Dexing Courtyard at the back, Aunt Mei and Aunt Shen live in the East Courtyard, and Aunt Lin and Aunt Feng live in the West Courtyard. The four young ladies in the family, Fang Yuting lives in Tinggai Courtyard, Fang Yuyan lives in Hanyan Courtyard, Fang Yulu lives in Morning Dew Courtyard, and Fang Yujing lives in Jingmiao Courtyard.
He Jiaxian saw that these courtyard names were related to the names of several young ladies, so he said with a smile: "They complement each other." ”
Xuanzhu also smiled: "The ladies heard that the ladies of the boudoir of the big families can write poems, so they have learned and learned, and their names are all taken by themselves." Originally, it wasn't called these. Talking and smiling, she smiled very well: "The name of our yard was chosen by the second young master, and the slave maid thinks that it is better than that of the young ladies." ”
He Jiaxian smiled and didn't speak, only secretly thought, he didn't expect Fang Qirui to have such an elegant level, and his level was quite good.
I also learned about the conduct and hobbies of several young ladies, and only then did I know that Fang Yuting was not the boss, and there was a sister above who had been married, named Fang Yuhe, and the eldest young master Fang Qizong, the third sister Fang Yulu, and the third young master Fang Qiye, both of whom were born in the Chen family.
