Chapter 040: It's Done (Second Update, Ask for Little Pink)
"Oh?" Gu Jialuo had a playful smile on his lips, and asked softly, "What are your names?" ”
"Slave Gu Erya. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the taller maid with a proud face. In the Gu family, it is a great honor to be given a surname by the master.
"Slave Xu Sanni." The shorter maid whispered back.
Gu Jialuo's smile deepened, and he asked again, "Are you really willing to follow me?" ”
"Yes, slave willing!" The two maids hurriedly said. Although there are many rumors about the second miss in the house, and the reputation of the second miss outside is also a little bad, but the wealth is in danger, if it is not for the second miss to have an accident and there is no one to serve around, the lady will not deliberately re-select the second lady.
The Gu family has been rich for nearly a hundred years, and the slaves and maids in the family have multiplied for three or four lifetimes, although the Gu family suffered a disaster forty years ago, and the slaves and maids in the family were also dismissed. But after the last 30 years of recuperation, the Gu family has prospered again, and many lost and resold slaves and maids have also returned to the Gu family, so that there are more and more slaves and maids in the Guogong Mansion.
Little girls like Gu Erya and Xu Sanni live in a large area in the backstreet of Guogong Mansion, even if their parents are also a little housekeeper in the Gu family, they can't directly stuff their daughters into the yard of the young ladies. If it is according to the old practice of the Gu family, they have to slowly boil the little maid who never waits, if there is no chance, they want to be a first-class big maid, at least it will take seven or eight years, maybe even longer.
But it's different when you go to the second lady's side, now there are a lot of vacancies in the second lady's yard, the first, second, and third classes all need someone to fill them, if they can enter the eyes of the second miss, maybe they can get over the wait, and directly promote to the third class, no matter how lucky they are, maybe the second class is possible.
As for the legendary second lady with a bad temper and other issues, Gu Erya and Xu Sanni didn't pay much attention to it. As the master, which one doesn't have a little temper? They are not simple little girls, the elders of the family mix in the inner house all day long, and they know those young ladies very well.
Some noble girls have a good reputation outside, but when they return home, they will still be mean to others and beat and scold slaves and maids.
On the contrary, it is the second miss of the Gu family, some people say that she is arbitrary, some people say that she is rebellious, but there have never been rumors in the house that she beats, scolds, and abuses slaves and maids.
Therefore, coming to the second lady's side, not only is it not dangerous, but she may be able to earn a future.
Thinking of this, the waists of the two little maids straightened up, and their two eyes looked at Gu Jialuo brightly, and their dark eyes could speak, as if to say: Second Miss, you choose a slave, and the slave will definitely serve you well.
Gu Jialuo smiled and said, "Gu Erya? Xu Sanni? These two names are not good. It's better to do this, Huixiang and Huiyun will enter the mansion tomorrow, they are both third-class maids, and you will follow their names. Hmm, Gu Erya is called Huifang, and Xu Sanni is renamed Huifen, okay? ”
When the two maids heard this, their eyes lit up sharply, and they knelt down to salute one after another, saying, "Huifang/Huifen Xie Er Miss gives her name." When the master gave them names, he expressed his willingness to accept them. And listening to the tone of the second lady, it seems that they have been determined to be third-class maids.
Third-class maids, I think when their sisters entered the house, they were all rough maids who did not enter the house, and they did it for a year or two, but fortunately, their own Lao Tzu Niang secretly entrusted people, so it was easy to rise to the third class.
Look at them again, it's only been half a year since they entered the house, and they just learned the rules and did the third-class directly...... The two maids couldn't be more proud, it seems that they won the bet!
The freshly baked two maids, Huifen and Huifang, got up happily and stood behind Gu Jialuo obediently.
Gu Jialuo smiled unabated, still looking at the dozen or so maids, and said, "Is there anyone else willing to serve me?" ”
The remaining thirteen maids looked left and right, very hesitant. I have to say that the fact that Huifen and Huifang were promoted to the third class is still quite motivating, and at least several of them are already moved.
After a moment of silence, four more maids stood up one after another and said, "The slave wants to serve the second lady!" ”
Gu Jialuo nodded and asked their names, and the four maids replied one by one. But to the disappointment of the four of them, Gu Jialuo did not give them names, but only explained to Mother Liu, "Okay, I want these six maids, and the others, please bring them back to Mother Liu." ”
Mother Liu has been watching quietly, and when she saw Gu Jialuo acting like this, she was a little disapproving: In the Gu family, the top and bottom are clear, the rules are strict, the master is the master, the slave is the slave, the master has a life, and the slave and the maid should be executed, how can she be like the second lady, let the maid choose by herself.
However, Mother Liu is an old servant who abides by the rules, and she will never dare to say anything about what the master decides: "Yes, the old slave understands." She promised in her mouth, but Mother Liu muttered in her heart: When she goes back, she will definitely return this matter to Mrs. Liu. Alas, the second lady is still too young to know how to do it.
Gu Jialuo didn't care what Mother Liu was thinking, she calculated, the palace gave two palace maids, Mrs. Song gave her four maids, plus the two sisters Huiyun and Huixiang who will enter the mansion tomorrow, and the six people who have just been selected, her maids are basically full: that is, four first-class maids, four second-class maids, four third-class maids and four rough maids.
Among them, the two springs given by the palace are naturally big girls, and there are still two big girls left, but I don't know who topped them. The Xia Solstice and Xia Zhu that the Song family said yesterday are definitely not good, and letting them be second-class is already an exception, and the first-class big girl next to the master is not something that anyone can do.
Moreover, Chunlan and Chunzhi from the palace have already occupied two places, and Gu Jialuo must be more cautious about the remaining two, otherwise, if one is not good, she will not even have a real use.
If Gu Jialuo had stayed in the Gu family, it would have been fine, but she was destined to return to the Qi family's nest of right and wrong, if there was no one around to help, she would definitely fall into a passive situation.
Just when Gu Jialuo was in a dilemma, the maid selected by the Song family for her also came. The Song family also said that she would not give her first-class and second-class maids, but at night the Song family thought about it again and again, and after listening to Liu's mother's reply, he also realized that there was no one around Gu Jialuo who could be a first-class maid, and Gu Jialuo himself had not undergone systematic training in housekeeping, and he was in great need of help from safe people around him.
So, Song carefully sifted the second-class maids around her, not to mention, she really found two people who were not very old, but they were stable and reliable.
"Slave Shisu/Ziwei, I've seen the second miss."
Two maids in apricot red skirts curtsy as standard. Behind them were two little maids in blue dresses, and the two little maids also saluted respectfully: "Slave Dafu, Erbao, I have seen the second miss." ”
Gu Jialuo was stunned, "Sister Zisu, Sister Ziwei, Mother ordered you to come, yes-" It shouldn't take two people to pass the message. Could it be that the mother gave herself the second-class maid beside her?
pondering in his heart, Zisu's voice was already in his ears: "So that the second miss knows, the lady ordered the slaves and maids to serve the second miss." ”
Ziwei saw that Gu Jialuo was still a little stunned, and hurriedly added: "Madame said, I am worried that those little maids have nothing to do and have no experience, and seeing that although the two of us are clumsy, we still know how to serve the master, so we asked us to come over and serve you." Please also ask the second lady not to dislike the stupidity of slaves and maids. ”
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it," Gu Jialuo hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The two sisters have always been capable, and my mother is willing to give you to me, it's too late for me to be happy." It just so happened that I was worried that the room was full of little maids, and I needed someone with qualifications and ability to control it, so my mother sent you to me, hehe, this is really a big problem for me. ”
Zi Su and Ziwei hurriedly said modestly: "The second young lady is falsely praised, and the slave doesn't dare to be a slave." The slaves and maids have no ability, they just want to serve the second lady wholeheartedly. ”
Gu Jialuo nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, okay, the two sisters are here with me, we are our own people, no need to be polite." ”
After a few greetings from the master and servant, Gu Jialuo got to the point, renamed Dafu and Erbao as Xia He and Xia Chan, and made up four second-class maids with Xia Zhi and Xia Zhu.
And perilla and crape myrtle are naturally first-class.
Gu Jialuo ordered someone to summon Chunlan and Chunzhi, and let them meet Zisu and Ziwei, and the four of them will be the first-class girls beside him in the future.
Chunlan and Chunzhi are very reserved, and they don't despise Zisu and Ziwei, but they are not friendly either.
The two of them didn't care, and they dealt with it neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Gu Jialuo looked at it coldly, and was very satisfied, he was worthy of being trained by his mother, and he really could handle it and control the field!
Today, Feng's mother also brought Huixiang and Huiyun into the house, and when the master and servant met, Feng's mother first looked at Gu Jialuo vigilantly, and then shouted excitedly: "Big girl!" ”
Gu Jialuo was also very excited to see Feng's mother, who was still loving and kind, and the memories of her childhood instantly came to her heart, and many pictures that she had long forgotten became clear. Gu Jialuo hugged Feng's mother, and the master and servant hugged their heads and cried.
Perilla and crape myrtle persuaded each other with warm words on the left and right.
Gu Jialuo cried for a long time, and it was easy to stop crying and pull Feng's mother onto the Luohan bed.
Mother Feng didn't dare to go directly to the kang because of the rules, but found a drum pier to sit down, and looked at Gu Jialuo with a pair of eyes, as if she couldn't get enough of it.
Gu Jialuo finally calmed down, and Huiyun and Huixiang stepped forward to salute. One of them is thirteen years old, and the other is only eleven years old, and they are both half-grown children. But Feng's mother taught very well, although she had not been an errand in the house, the rules were not bad at all, and when the two saw the master, they did not show timidity, but greeted them generously.
Even Chunlan and Chunzhi, who were standing on the side, couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in their hearts: These two are different from ordinary village slaves.
When Feng's mother came, Gu Jialuo felt that she had a backbone, and after letting Feng's mother rest for a long time, in the evening, he pulled her to take stock of her dowry with Zisu and Ziwei.
It's okay if you don't take stock, but after taking stock, Gu Jialuo's face turned blue with anger, and he just wanted to pull those Diao Nu who bullied the master to death......
