Chapter 7 The Maiden

Banyue thought for a while, and hesitated: "The slave didn't pay much attention to it, but I just heard the little maids say that it seems that Mother Feng, who was next to the old lady, ran to the big kitchen a few times this morning." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A cold glint flashed in Yiying's eyes, if she didn't come to find fault, if she wanted to make a mistake, she would definitely let her throw her face ten miles away!

The master and servant were talking, but they saw a mother-in-law standing at the door, smiling shyly, followed by a group of people who were pressed by the black.

She was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked Half Moon to invite the woman in.

As soon as the woman came in, she knelt down and bowed, saying, "The slave's surname is Li, and she is in charge of the affairs of the house." On the order of the eldest princess, I sent a few serving maids to the county lord, and I hoped that the county lord would not dislike them for being rude and pick a few agreeable. ”

The words were very humble and polite, she hurriedly asked Banyue to help her up, and said with a smile: "Mother Li doesn't need to be polite." It's just that I don't know the regulations in the house, and I have to bother Mother Li to talk to me about it. ”

Mother Li was busy and didn't dare to say anything, and explained the regulations in the house clearly in a few words.

According to the practice of the Xue family, there should be four big maids around the lady, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, and the number of sprinkler maids is uncertain, and the young ladies and young masters should set up two big maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, and the rest of the number is also uncertain.

But the mother Min Yuangui is the eldest princess, there are not only the maids in the house, but also the palace maids given by the palace, there are eight first-class maids, and the rest are doubled, the father only set up two maids in the study to serve the pen and ink, the mother is worried that the brother is too much to study, so he set up a lot of small maids, only two big maids and a small maid together. The rest of the house followed the usual rules.

But when she came to her, because she was a fief and a county lord with a grade, she was also different from others, according to the etiquette, she should follow the lady's custom, that is, there should be four big maids, four second-class maids, and eight third-class maids to serve.

She rubbed her head, except for Half Moon, she had to pick fifteen people for this entry, which was really a troublesome thing. She glanced at the crowd outside and felt that Mother Li had brought at least thirty people.

She waved her hand and let the crowd in. For a moment, the originally spacious hall seemed crowded.

She sighed and asked Half Moon to pick the third-class maid for herself, and she picked the first-class and second-class maids herself.

The clever people in the crowd had already seen that this maid who had followed the county lord from the beginning was very important to the county lord, and secretly remembered that he would treat her more in the future.

It took nearly an afternoon to pick a candidate.

Yan Hong, capable and spicy, in charge of Yiying's clothes and jewelry and the distribution of the maids in the room; lotus fragrance, clever and lively, good at dealing with people, responsible for eating and washing; Zhaoqiu, with beautiful eyebrows and a kind spirit, in charge of night duty and sprinkling; and Half Moon, steady and generous, meticulous and decisive, as the leader of the four big maids, can ask about everything.

The second-class maids picked Jin Rui, Xiaoyuan, Amber and Lanting, and there were many third-class maids, and Yiying had no intention of remembering, but everyone was beautiful, and their personalities had their own merits.

The rest of the people who were not picked were all depressed and disheartened. I heard that the county lord of Zhaoyuan returned to Beijing, and the maids in the house all squeezed their heads and wanted to drill into the county lord's side, after all, this is the only concubine of the eldest princess, with a fief and a grade, unlike the eldest lady, although she is prominent for a while, she may also be pulled off the horse at any time. Such an errand is safe and rich, and who doesn't want to fight?

Mother Li took a rough look at the people who were left behind, praised Yiying's good eyes, and left with everyone.

Yiying admonished the people who stayed behind according to the custom, and after a short rest, she went to the upper room with Half Moon.

The Carved Cloud Pavilion is on the east side of the upper room, and a moon gate can be seen when you walk a short distance to the northwest after leaving the courtyard gate, which is where the two courtyards are connected.

After passing through the Moon Gate, I went west and then north along the road to the upper room where my mother lived.

When Yi Ying arrived, Min Yuan was sitting on the embroidery stool next to the Nanmu table, talking to his mother, seeing her coming, he hurriedly beckoned her over, and said: "This is Xiao's mother, she is an old man in the house, and she is acting very safely, I am thinking about sending her to your room as a housekeeper mother, are you okay to look at?"

Yiying looked at Xiao's mother. Xiao's mother is in her forties, she looks much older than her mother, her face is slightly pointed, her lips are very thin, her eyes are not too big but she is very godly, she does not deliberately please her when she salutes, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is a very assertive person at first glance.

Although she has set half a month to be the leading big girl, she is just a little girl after all, and she is not as experienced as the older housekeeper mother, so this housekeeper mother is also a must.

"The person my mother picked, I look very good," she smiled and nodded, and then pointed to the half moon and said to Xiao's mother: "This is the half moon in my room, in charge of the three big girls below, half moon, to Xiao's mother." ”

Xiao's mother did not move, and secretly noted that the maid in front of her was the henchman of the little county lord, and the two of them both saw the courtesy, so they both stood aside with their hands down.

Min Yuan was a little surprised, but Yuan Yuan actually made the girl Half Moon the leader of the big girl, she also liked this girl, and she was worried that Yuan Yuan would dislike her for being a farmer and had no knowledge, but now she has been reused, and this daughter is a little difficult for her to see.

She smiled, Yuan Yuan has this mind, which is of great benefit to her adapting to the life of the Xue family, she should be happy.

Then he asked Yichen: "...... I heard that the burns are serious, is it serious?"

"I went to see my big sister, and she said that it was no big deal, and she only needed to raise it for three or two days. Yiying smiled and said, "Mother is so worried about the eldest sister, why don't you send someone or go to take a look by yourself?" ”

Min Yuan sighed: "What if I go? As long as I say that Sanniang's half sentence is not good, Sister Chen will excuse her for a long time, and she will never be punished. ”

After speaking, he suddenly realized that he cared too much about Sister Chen in front of Yuan Yuan, and was about to change the topic, but heard Yuan Yuan say: "Big sister is just too soft-hearted, so she is always bullied by that room." Mother rest assured, I will help you watch Sister Xuan in the future, and I will not let her do anything wrong. ”

Min Yuan was surprised, Yuan Yuan's tone seemed to be very protective of Sister Chen, are the two already so familiar?

"I had lunch with my eldest sister today, and we had a very speculative conversation. Seeing that she was puzzled, Yiying explained with a smile.

Min Yuan was very pleased, and instructed some sisters to see peaceful coexistence, and they couldn't write a single word like Xue in one stroke, and they responded one by one.

She was also very happy to see her mother so happy. It's good that she can solve a piece of her mother's heart disease with just this small step, and she is happy to do such a thing.

The mother and daughter gossiped for a while, and when it was about to be dinner, she remembered Yu's affairs and asked, "Mother, am I going to say hello to my grandmother?"
