Chapter Ninety-Eight: Changing the Maid 2 (For Nana)
"She went to the toilet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "The needle and thread in Zhuo Yijia's hand did not stop.
Gao Shi frowned when he heard this, then sighed, looked at Zhuo Yijia and said, "Speaking of which, it's just this one maid, it's too little." No matter how you say it, she is a serious Miss Zhuo family. Saying that, Gao buried his head in picking up the needle and thread and continued to embroider, "I'll add a few more maids to you when I go back." ”
Gao is the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, and she also takes care of most of the housekeeping of Zhuofu. Zhuo Yijia didn't raise her head when she heard this, but just replied normally, "It's all up to the eldest lady." ”
Halfway through the embroidery, Zhuo Yijia stopped her needlework and looked at Gao, "I'm going to the eldest sister's yard." Tell her to talk to her. ”
Gao also stopped the needle and thread in his hand, and looked at Zhuo Yijia's eyes with a smile, "Go, it's hard for you to accompany your eldest sister, it's hard for you to have this heart." Saying that, the Gao family remembered that Zhuo Yihan was going to get married, except for the maids who accompanied the marriage, the other maids stayed in the courtyard, and they would have to be reassigned to each courtyard in the future.
The voice of sudden thought interrupted Zhuo Yijia's recollection.
"The maids have all been summoned to the courtyard. Fuxia walked up to Zhuo Yihan and said.
Zhuo Yihan nodded, "Come out with me and have a look." As he spoke, Fuxia got up and walked out with the help of Fuxia on the side.
Zhuo Yijia quietly followed Zhuo Yihan and walked out.
Zhuo Yihan stood under the eaves, glanced over, turned to Zhuo Yijia and said, "Here are all the maids who want to stay, look at which one you want." ”
Zhuo Yijia looked at the maid standing below, and did not speak, the third-class maid is not qualified to marry into the palace. So in the remaining batch, there are two people, Zhishu and Zhihua.
"May I ask them?" Zhuo Yijia turned his head to look at Zhuo Yihan, "I want to get in touch with their temperaments, so that I can choose one that is suitable for me." ”
Zhuo Yihan nodded when he heard this, "Go ahead." ”
Zhuo Yijia walked to the courtyard and talked one by one, asking nothing more than what they were called, and what they usually liked to do. The usual can no longer be a normal question. The maids in this courtyard have to be reassigned when Zhuo Yihan gets married, and now they are assigned to a young lady, but she is an unfavored young lady. There are many advantages to following these young masters and young ladies, but the disadvantage is that when these masters make mistakes, their slaves suffer.
Although the fourth lady in front of her is a young lady, born in the second room, she lost her aunt, and she is not compatible with her mother, she is not liked by her father, there is nothing good to follow her, there must be a lot of crimes, it is better to be less restrained in the outer courtyard and not have to suffer. Thinking about it this way, the maids' voices back to Zhuo Yijia were lukewarm.
"What about you, what's your name, what are you usually good at?" Zhuo Yijia walked up to a girl, her tone was still the same, and the question was still the same.
"Back to the fourth lady, the slave maid is called Zhishu, usually just running errands, and the slave maid is fast. The maid raised her head and looked at Zhuo Yi and smiled, different from the lukewarm of the other maids.
Zhishu? Zhuo Yijia's heart was clear, but his face gradually turned cold, and he looked at Zhishu scrutinically. Zhishu lowered his head in Zhuo Yijia's direct gaze.
There is no fear and fear, just the action of avoiding its edge. Zhuo Yijia was a little more satisfied, skimmed the knowledge book and continued to walk forward, "What about you, what is your name, what do you usually do?"
"Back to the fourth lady's words, the slave knows how to paint, and usually looks at flowers and plants in the yard. The maid hung her head, not as if she knew a book, and did not raise her head to look at Zhuo Yijia.
"Are you a florist?" asked Zhuo Yijia.
"It's just that I know a lot about flowers and plants, and I usually help take care of them, so I can be regarded as a gardener. Zhihua still hung his head.
Zhuo Yijia didn't ask any more questions, brushed over the painting and continued to walk forward. After asking one by one, he walked back to Zhuo Yihan's side.
"Okay?" Zhuo Yihan tilted his head slightly towards Zhuo Yijia, looking at the slave below.
"What does my sister think?" Zhuo Yijia also looked at the people standing in the courtyard and asked rhetorically.
Zhuo Yihan pondered for a while, pointing to a little maid standing in the middle, "How is she?" said Zhuo Yihan turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia. Just now, those maids and mothers-in-law were a little evasive of Zhuo Yijia, but they didn't dare to show too much because of themselves, only the little maid smiled.
Zhuo Yijia looked at the book of knowledge that Zhuo Yihan was pointing and nodded, "Let my sister decide." After a pause, "Can I choose another one myself?" he said and turned his head to look at Zhuo Yihan.
"Absolutely. Zhuo Yihan nodded, and gave her a word herself, and she should also be asked to do it herself.
Zhuo Yijia's gaze swept over everyone in the court, and his eyes fell on Zhihua, "That's it." ”
The maid was selected, Zhuo Yihan went back to the house and began to bathe, and the first day before entering the palace, he had to bathe in the bath with flower petals, and there was a slight smoke until the body was fragrant. This work is done for most of the day. So Zhuo Yijia retreated to Zhuo Yihan and turned around and went to the Li family in the third room.
Before the newly selected maid had time to train, she followed Zhuo Yijia to the third room. Everywhere along the way, there are festive and lively, busy with the marriage of the eldest lady of the Zhuo family tomorrow.
The temperature of the stove in Zhuo Yijia's hand was not warm, but it was held warmly, neither hot nor cold. Zhuo Yijia had no intention of holding the hand stove, just thinking about the reason why the Li family was looking for her.
Outside the three-room courtyard, the maid who had been waiting for a long time saw Zhuo Yijia coming, and stepped forward with a smile, "The fourth lady is here." As he spoke, he took Zhuo Yijia and walked inside.
The maid stood outside the door and announced, "Third lady, fourth lady has arrived." ”
After speaking, the curtain was raised, and the warm voice of the third lady Li came from inside, "Jia'er is here, come in quickly." ”
Zhuo Yijia walked in, looked at the third wife sitting in the hall, curtsied, and called softly, "Second aunt." ”
"Get up, go and sit, is it cold outside?" asked Li with a gentle smile and concern.
Zhuo Yijia's face couldn't see joy or anger, and he replied in a gentle voice, "It's okay." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was lifted, Zhuo Yiping walked in, and when she saw Zhuo Yijia, she couldn't help laughing, "Where is it okay, I came from the West Chamber next door and shivered cold." ”
After speaking, Zhuo Yiping saluted to the Li family, sat next to Zhuo Yijia, saw Zhuo Yijia's frozen red hand, reached out to probe the back of Zhuo Yijia's hand, and instinctively retracted his hand as soon as he touched Zhuo Yijia.
Zhuo Yiping didn't seem to see Zhuo Yijia's instinctive detachment, but just smiled and turned around and instructed the maid behind, "Yumei, change the charcoal in the furnace for the fourth lady." Said that he looked at Zhuo Yijia, turned his head to Li and smiled, "No wonder it's not cold, the air in your hand is still in your hand, it's not that you can't feel cold." ”
Li sighed, looked at Zhuo Yijia, and said with some regret and love in his tone, "They are all children of the Zhuo family, if you lack anything, tell the third aunt." As he spoke, he instructed the grandmother next to him, "Go and fetch the clothes I made for the fourth lady." I made you two sets of winter shirts and two sets of spring shirts, and the winter shirts added an extra layer of cotton, which is warmer than usual, and it is just right to wear on this kind of day. ”
