Early in the morning of the second day, Doudou came to Chunhui Hall, and after waiting for his grandmother to get up, the grandparents and grandchildren had breakfast together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the old lady basically doesn't go out, only sitting in the warm pavilion with Doudou and talking.

She saw that Doudou was only wearing a small jacket, so she hurriedly instructed Frangipani to take a small hand stove and stuff it into Doudou's small hand, and pretended to be disgusted: "Look at how cold it is today, they are all big girls and don't know how to take care of themselves." ”

Doudou pouted, her palms were warm, not cold at all.

She said helplessly: "Grandmother, there are already so many people around me to serve, why do you need to add people." ”

Last night, she made a rough calculation, and there were more than ten maids and wives in the Bangxing Pavilion combined, which was more than her aunt's family, but she was the only master.

If there are a few more maids, it is not as intimate as Cai Qing and Cai Sang and she grew up together, and it will definitely not be as convenient as before to talk and do things in the future.

The old lady smiled: "When my grandmother was as old as you, she was just the daughter of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, such a family background is nothing in the capital, there is also one first-class maid around, two second-class maids, and the rest of the rough maids There are seven or eight, plus there are more mothers-in-law than you in Bangxing Pavilion." ”

Doudou was stunned when he heard it, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is only four grades, and he has no real power, and he is not a little bit different from his father, a heavenly official of the ministry, and there are so many people around the girl in the house.

It is difficult to say whether my great-grandfather's money was enough to pay the monthly money to the next generation.

The old lady continued: "In your house, Zhujun Lanyun was originally first-class, and two were second-class. Now that Zhujun and the others are married, Cai Qing and the two have been promoted to the first class, and you don't even have a second-class maid by your side, all of them are a group of people who don't do anything, and they really don't look like it. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Cai Qing and Cai Sang standing behind Doudou: "You two are reluctant to do this, and you don't know how to let the girl wear more clothes and bring a hand stove on a cold day, so you have to be careful in the future." ”

Cai Qing and Cai Sang hurriedly responded: "Yes, old lady." ”

The old lady waved her hand and motioned for the maids and women to stand down.

Soon only the grandparents were left in the house.

"Sister Yuan, your sister is still grounded copying scriptures, and your mother said that she would come over and pick a few for her later. "When it comes to Old Madam Gu Chao, she is still not happy.

Don't think that she is easy to fool when she is old, what Gu Chao wants to choose for Xiang'er is not a maid, but wants to find a few outstanding maids for Xiang'er to dowry.

If you are not busy looking for your daughter-in-law's house, but you are busy finding a maid for your son-in-law, you are afraid that you will not be able to keep your future son-in-law, which is simply foolish.

Doudou said: "Anyway, I don't have a shortage of people there, so let my mother pick it first." ”

The old lady patted her little hand and said, "Sister Yuan, I saw your eldest cousin of the Pei family that day, what do you think of him?"

Pei Jincheng: Could it be that grandmother's goal has changed, she had the intention to marry Cousin Fu before, but now she has changed to Cousin Pei? Doudou almost dropped the small hand stove in her hand.

Fortunately, the old lady did not deliberately wait for her to answer, and continued: "Grandmother looks at the child as steady and generous, as if she is reliable, but your sister's temperament is inevitably weaker, and Jincheng is the eldest son, I don't know if your little aunt is happy." ”

Doudou didn't know whether to relax or be nervous.

It's good if it's not me, but my sister ......

"Grandmother, Yuan'er thinks that her sister is the best girl, no matter who marries her, it is a blessing, but the Pei family ...... has an unconscious sister-in-law, and my sister will definitely be bullied by her. Doudou can only take Pei Jinxin out as a shield.

Sure enough, the old lady nodded: "This is also reasonable, although the girl will get married sooner or later, but after all, she is as old as you, so she has to stay at home for two more years." What's more, she will marry the Huo family in the future, and the backers are getting tougher and tougher, so she can't let Sister Xiang suffer that anger. ”

Doudou was a little curious: "Grandmother, who is bigger between me and Pei Jinxin, should I call her cousin or cousin?"

The old lady smiled: "It's really a coincidence to talk about this, your birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and she is actually the sixth day of the seventh month, and my sister Yuan has suffered again this time." ”

Doudou pouted, fortunately it wasn't the same day, and that guy hated it very much.

While speaking, Gu Chao and Ya Po came to Chunhui Hall, and the old lady and Doudou also moved from the inner room to the main hall.

Since that day's indiscriminate climbing, there seems to be a gap between Gu Chao and Doudou, and the relationship seems to have returned to when they first met a few years ago.

It's just that because of the presence of the old lady, Gu Chao is not good at making a face, so when he saw Doudou saluting her, he smiled lightly and responded.

When Mother Wu saw that the masters had arrived, she brought Ya Po and twenty girls of the same age as Doudou into the main hall.

The girls bowed to Ya Po and stood aside in a very formal manner.

Ya Po is a woman in her forties, who has always been in the business of a large family, and she is very particular about etiquette, and she is not as annoying as Doudou imagined.

The old lady knew what Gu Chao had in mind, and said to Doudou: "Sister Yuan is the youngest, let you pick it first today." ”

Doudou had no intention of making Gu Chao unhappy about such a trivial matter, and said with a smile: "There is also a shortage of people around Grandmother, so you should come first." ”

What else can Gu Chao say, no matter if the young one comes first or the old one comes first, it won't be her turn anyway.

The old lady didn't shirk, looked at the girls with flashing eyes, and directly picked out the four who looked the most watery.

Gu Chao saw pity for a while, and complained to the old lady in his heart, an old lady prefers a maid with a sign of appearance, what a waste.

She endured her anger and picked the remaining sixteen, and reluctantly picked out four, and the two with good looks were going to be sent to Yuan Xiang, and she kept them honestly for herself.

Although Yuan Zheng has never had an idea about the maids around her, she still doesn't like to be served by people who are too active.

Finally it was Doudou's turn, she didn't plan to add people, but since her grandmother insisted on picking, she had to find two that she liked.

Her heart has little to do with her appearance, and she doesn't plan to be as intimate as Cai Qing and Cai Sang, to put it bluntly, she is looking for someone with some ability.

She walked up to the twelve girls, looked at them carefully, and said, "What do you all know, let's hear it." ”

This may seem like a simple question, but it's really impossible to tell a lie.

Who knows what kind of capable maid this Yuan family girl needs, no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless if you don't match her intentions.

It took almost an hour, and Doudou finally chose two.

A twelve-year-old man, thin and small, very inconspicuous, but able to make a good calculation. And Doudou could hear from her words that her skills were far more than just playing well with abacus.

As for how she learned these skills, Doudou doesn't want to know now, it's just a maid, and if she is not loyal, she can be let go at any time.

Seeing that although her eyes were not big, her smile was as pleasing as two crescent moons, so Doudou named her Hanxiao. (To be continued.) )
