Chapter 237: Don't underestimate the young lady
Mrs. Zhuang was also extremely worried and hesitant in her heart, Qin Ruwei was already married, and it was just right for her daughter-in-law to be in charge of the house, but she was unwilling to let her put the power in her hand and be an idler.
Therefore, these days she thought about it and thought, if Qin Ruwei proposed to be in charge, what would she say?
"The old lady is also too careful, the young lady and the young master have just become married, and they are not young, the most important thing is to spread the branches and leaves for the banker, and give you a big fat grandson earlier. As for this mid-feed chores, the old lady is not old, first help with one or two, and when she gives birth to a grandson in the future, you will hand over the fed to the past, and the young lady will only be grateful to you. Mama Liu said with a smile as she handed over a cup of tea.
Mrs. Zhuang took it, thought about it, nodded, and said, "What you said is very true, the heir is a big deal, she will help our Zhuang family give birth to a big fat grandson first." ”
Mama Liu's smile became more and more respectful, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Having said that, Old Madam Zhuang still had some taboos in her heart, and even knocked and pushed, but Qin Ruwei didn't seem to care at all, and couldn't help but wonder a little.
"Old lady, Princess Ren sent the grandmother next to her to send the worship sticker." Haruka suddenly walked in.
"Oh, who? Who are you talking about? The needle in Mrs. Zhuang's hand paused, and her eyes widened and asked.
"It's Princess Ren's grandmother." Haruka said loudly.
Mama Liu happened to come out of the ear room with a cup of tea, and when she heard this, she hurriedly put down the tray and said, "Oh, that's a big guest, go and please, go and please." ”
What kind of person is Princess Ren, the grandmother next to her, but Mrs. Qipin can't compare, and now she comes to the door in person, how can she not be a distinguished guest?
Qin Ruwei was reading a book, and suddenly heard that the old lady's side of the spring leaves came to invite, saying that the grandmother next to Princess Ren was here, and invited her to come over, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Qiulan, wait for me to change my clothes." The grandmother beside Princess Ren can't be lazy.
With Qiulan glutinous rice, when they came to Rong'an Hall, they heard a burst of laughter, Qin Ruwei raised a smile, and the girl standing outside the door hurriedly sang: "The young lady is here." ”
When I entered the hall, I saw Mrs. Zhuang sitting on the top seat, and a middle-aged grandmother wearing a silver and red Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern Confucian jacket and a dark flower rhombic horse skirt sitting on the left. Her face was ruddy, and the short bun on her head was only inserted into a golden hairpin, but the sitting posture and gestures were everyone's style and could not be underestimated.
Listening to the people singing the newspaper, Mama Fan looked over, and saw a beautiful woman wearing a smoky dress and a jasper hairpin walking slowly.
Mama Fan is Princess Ren's confidant, she has been serving her since she was a child, and she is the most trusted, so she is quite clear about Qin Ruwei's true identity.
Seeing Qin Ruwei coming in, she hurriedly stood up and stepped forward with a smile to salute: "The slave maid has said hello to the young lady." ”
What she did was the standard gift in the palace, which frightened Qin Ruwei, you must know that the people around the princess are no better than ordinary people, and where dare to accept her gift, she hurriedly avoided it, and reached out to help: "Mama can't help it, please get up quickly." He gave her a half-salute in return.
Mama Fan didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly avoided it: "The young lady can't salute the slave maid, that can torment the slave maid." ”
Qin Ruwei only smiled faintly.
This scene can make Mrs. Zhuang and the others stunned, you must know that this Mama Fan is the person next to the princess, and when she first came, she simply bowed to herself, and her expression was very arrogant.
But right now, she is like a different person, and her attitude towards Qin Ruwei is respectful, which means that some stammering is reasonable.
Old Madam Zhuang was a little jealous.
After serving the tea again, Qin Ruwei asked Mama Fan with a smile: "I met the princess in a hurry on the day of marriage, I don't know if the princess is okay?" ”
Mama Fan immediately stood up and replied: "Young Mrs. Lao is worried, the princess is in excellent health, since she said goodbye to you, the princess has been extremely concerned in her heart, so she sent a slave maid to greet one or two, and sent a post to the young lady and the old lady by the way." ”
"Oh?" Qin Ruwei was stunned.
Mama Fan handed over a gold sticker and said: "On the second day of November, it is the birthday of my princess, and the princess plans to hold a birthday banquet lively and lively, and she is familiar with you at first sight, so let the slave maid come to send the post." ”
Qin Ruwei took the gold sticker and looked at it, then said with a smile: "It's rare for the princess to invite you, if you don't bother us, we will definitely go to congratulate." Mother, do you say yes? ”
Old Madam Zhuang naturally didn't say anything, she was already happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "That's naturally yes, we will definitely go." ”
Mama Fan smiled and nodded, said a few more words to Qin Ruwei, and then left.
After sending Mama Fan away, Qin Ruwei and Mrs. Zhuang returned to the hall to talk, and after the next person re-served a cup of tea, Mrs. Zhuang said: "I didn't expect that this princess would value us so much, and she actually personally sent Mama around her to send a post." ”
Qin Ruwei was also puzzled, thought about it and said, "Maybe I got the orders of King Ren!" ”
Old Madam Zhuang thought for a while and said: "That's right, Ran'er is the parent official of this Changping, and this Changping is also the fief of His Royal Highness King Ren, so we can be regarded as doing things for King Ren." ”
Qin Ruwei was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and only took a sip of tea.
Old Madam Zhuang was at ease, and seeing that Qin Ruwei didn't react, she knew that she had also passed, so she coughed and said, "The princess's birthday is very important, what kind of gifts do you say we should give?" ”
Qin Ruwei pursed her lips and said, "This mother is testing me, and for a while, I can't think of it." ”
Old Madam Zhuang's face sank, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said: "When you got married, many people also sent a lot of valuable gifts to come, and they were all stored in the warehouse, why don't you pick one and send it?" ”
"This is not appropriate, every gift is registered in the book, if you take someone else's family to send it to the princess, I am afraid that it will be laughing and generous, but I am afraid that it is not beautiful." Qin Ruwei said busily.
When Old Madam Zhuang heard this, she frowned and said, "What should I do?" ”
Qin Ruwei said with a smile: "There is still a month to prepare, and I will also ask my husband to see if he has any mention." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Ran'er has seen a lot of the world, and he will definitely have a good mention of it." ”
Qin Ruwei smiled lightly and was silent.
The more Mrs. Zhuang thought about it, the more she felt that this move was appropriate, and remembered what she had said to Mama Liu before, so she coughed and asked, "You have also been married for a few days, and your companion doesn't seem to be on an errand in the house?" ”
Qin Ruwei's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Mother, I forgot if you didn't ask." In addition to the two big girls, my companion is also a roommate, Xu Wangnian's family is on an errand in the small kitchen in our yard, and her two daughters are serving in the room, as for Xu Wangnian and Xu Da, I really didn't expect to assign them any errands. ”
Old Madam Zhuang was stunned for a moment, squinted at her and said, "This, Xu Wangnian used to be the housekeeper for you, but now in our house, there is Liu Fu as the manager." Our mansion is not big, and there are only three masters, so there will be no two managers. ”
"What my mother said is very true, so I don't have a clue, Xu Wangnian is just that, I also have a makeup shop in my dowry, and I have to be taken care of, so he will help manage it. In my opinion, it's just plain in our house, and it's not appropriate for me to see that only Mr. Liu is in charge of the outer courtyard, so I let Xu Da follow him to learn personnel, if there is a banquet or something, he can always follow and greet one or two, and it will not make people say that there is no etiquette in our house. Qin Ruwei said with a smile: "They also have a second boy, who is only ten years old this year, or he will be an errand boy at the gatehouse, what do you think?" ”
Mama Liu was waiting on the side, and when she heard this, she glanced at Qin Ruwei, and when she saw her smiling, her heart immediately sank, and she said, "Old lady, the slave maid listened to what the young lady said very well. I often hear my family say that when they are busy, they can't be cared for, so it's okay to let Xu Da follow. ”
Qin Ruwei picked up the teacup with satisfaction and took a sip, finally there was still an acquaintance.
Mama Liu looked at Qin Ruwei's demeanor, and became more and more sure that what she just said was right, and she talked more eagerly about the lack of manpower in the outer courtyard. I can't help it, this young lady's eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts, but she is not a foolish lord like this old lady.
Since Mrs. Zhuang was admitted to Tanhualang, she felt that she was superior, and she also wanted to put it up, and she usually heard that there were groups of servants in other people's mansions, how could she have an official mansion, there could not be only a few people.
After listening to Qin Ruwei and Mama Liu's words, he said: "Then according to what you said, let his brothers take an errand, as for Xu Wangnian, if you want to use him, then use it first, and then find a suitable place to install it when the personnel in this mansion are settled." ”
"The daughter-in-law listens to her mother." Qin Ruwei lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Zhuang was very satisfied, and said: "Daughter-in-law, it stands to reason that you will be in charge of the family when you marry, but you and Ran'er are not young, hurry up and give birth to a big fat grandson for our Zhuang family. "It's a high-sounding thing, I don't know, I really think it's a sincere pity!
"The mother cherishes her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law is grateful!" Qin Ruwei smiled sincerely, but let Mrs. Zhuang swallow back all the words prepared by Mrs. Zhuang, thinking to herself, does she really not care?
Qin Ruwei lowered her head and smiled, do you care? Why should she care, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you throw this mess of hot potatoes over!
Mama Liu saw it clearly, and secretly woke up in her heart, thinking that she was just a country girl from a small family who had never seen much of the world, although some rules were only learned. But right now, this back and forth, that calm look, doesn't seem to be heartless, and you have to carefully combine with the master, but don't make a big mistake.
