Recently, Qian Yuning's life has been unusually smooth, except for the days when Ying Fang just left, she was a little uncomfortable, and after a few days, she slowly got used to it, except for one person embroidering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She also has one more thing to worry about, that is, every time the little Hou Ye comes to her, the maid of Gui Xiangju will immediately turn out and say to him, what happened to their aunt, either they can't eat or have a stomachache, or they are crying or something, in short, they want the little Hou Ye to go to Gui Xiangju. The little marquis followed, there was nothing, if he didn't go, he would come and invite him one by one, which would make people upset.
On this day, Qian Yuning was sitting in the room bored embroidering her pair of Pisces Lotus, and the wooden housekeeper brought a few little maids, who were the four little girls that Ridan brought over and Qian Yuning selected by herself.
The four girls had already changed into the light blue clothes of the maidservants of the Marquis of Anxin's mansion, and when they saw Qian Yuning in front of them, the four of them kowtowed in a proper manner, and said: "Auntie, please aunt Ann!" ”
It seems that he has learned some rules in the past few days, and after asking for peace, he stood up and stood in front of Qian Yuning in a regular manner, all of them half-hung their heads, their eyes looked at their uppers, and they didn't dare to look around.
The wooden housekeeper saluted Qian Yuning: "Hello to Aunt Qian, auntie, I brought these girls to you, and I will serve you in this courtyard in the future, you see, give them a name, so that you can follow the master's wishes." ”
Qian Yuning chose a name for the first time, and suddenly felt cautious, and a little anxious, and couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked Mama Liu.
Mama Liu said: "The master just takes what is pleasing to his ears and listens, anyway, he is serving you, as long as you think this name is good." ”
Qian Yu thought about it quietly, and first asked the tallest girl: "What is your name at home?" ”
The girl replied respectfully: "Aunt Hui, my father and mother at home call me Nizi." ”
"How old are you?"
"Aunt Hui, the slave is twelve years old this year."
"When were you born?"
"Aunt Hui, the slave was born in Dongyue, and I heard my mother say that it snowed a lot that day."
"Well, Dongyue is born, why don't you call it Dongxue!"
"Yes, Aunt Dongxue Xie gave her a name."
After Dongxue's name was chosen, Qian Yuning continued to ask the next one: "What was your original name?" She asked a round-faced girl.
The round-faced girl also replied respectfully: "Back to my aunt, when the slave maid is at home, she is called to take her brother." ”
"Oh, brother, how old are you?"
"Back to my aunt, the slave is eleven this year."
"What month was it born?"
"Back to my aunt, the slave was born in Lichun."
"Oh, Lichun is born, spring, then why don't you call Lichun!"
"Lichun Xie gave the name to Aunt Xie."
Next, Aunt Qian also named the other two girls, one was named Xiaoman, who grew in May, and the other was called Xia Ying.
After naming the girl, the wooden housekeeper remembered it, and then he had to go back to make a book, record the files for a few maids, and say to Qian Yuning when he left: "Aunt Qian, you use these four maids first, and the remaining two will be made up for you in two days, and you will be their master in the future, if there is anything, just instruct." ”
Qian Yuning glanced at Mama Liu, Mama Liu went into the house and took a silver ingot out and stuffed it into the hands of the wooden butler, and the wooden butler did not shirk, but accepted it very generously, and saluted Qian Yuning again: "Aunt Xie reward, auntie, the little one will retire first." ”
Qian Yuning said: "The wooden housekeeper is good, Mama Liu, go and send it off." ”
A few maids have just arrived, and they are not very familiar with Bicui Garden, Qian Yuning asked Grandma Sun to take them down, and she went to train with her, she also has a little meaning of taking the school exam in her heart, just wait to see the performance of a few maids tomorrow, whether there is anything outstanding, so that she can be her personal maid.
Seeing that the four maids went down with Grandma Sun, Qian Yuning asked Grandma Liu: "Grandma Liu, look, how are they doing?" ”
Mama Liu: "Auntie, the slaves and maids are all good, they are all eleven or twelve-year-old little girls, and they learn quickly, let Grandma Sun train for a few more days, and the aunt will be easy to use." ”
Qian Yuning snorted and said, "Then Mama Liu will also help me take a look, see which two girls can be my personal maids, and the remaining two will be second-class maids, as for the ones sent in two days, they will be rough maids in the yard!" ”
Qian Yuning thought in her heart, it is better to use the maids she personally selected, and she can rest assured that she can put them in the house, and the maids who come in the next two days do not know the details, so she will let them do some rough work in the yard.
In the evening, Qian Yuning sat in the house, Dong Xue and Xiaoman brought water in, and called: "Auntie, it's time to clean your face" Put the basin on the basin rack, and twisted the handkerchief to wipe Qian Yuning's face. After scrubbing his face, he waited for Qian Yuning to change his clothes, and after changing into a nightgown, Dongxue asked Xiaoman to go out and pour the water in one basin, and then used the clean water in another basin to scrub Qian Yuning's body. Dong Xue's hands were very soft, and she didn't rub Qian Yuning at all, after she Qian Yuning finished scrubbing her body, Xiao Man just came to wash her feet, and Dong Xue asked Xiao Man to wash Qian Yuning's feet. Xiaoman's hands are a little rough and calloused, but fortunately, she is bathing Qian Yuning, if she rubs her back, she can't stand it.
The two girls served with all their hearts, just doing things, and didn't talk much, and at the end, Qian Yuning asked: "Dongxue, Xiaoman, doesn't it mean that the genius began to serve me?" Why did you start today? ”
Xiaoman didn't speak, just looked at Dong Xue, Dong Xue wiped the sweat on her face, and said: "Serving my aunt is a slave's business, no matter morning or evening, it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve my aunt!" Dongxue spoke quietly, and her voice was soft and soft, which made people very comfortable to listen to. Xiao Man stood aside, but he was a little nervous, he couldn't say a word, he could only look at Dongxue with admiration.
Qian Yuning hooked the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I know you are all good, you are also tired, go down and rest!" ”
Dongxue Xiaoman and the two retired.
Early in the morning of the second day, before Qian Yuning got up, she heard a noise in the yard, she twisted her brows and called: "Mama Liu." ”
Mama Liu hurriedly came in: "Auntie." "Mama Liu's face is not very good-looking.
Qian Yuning asked: "What's going on outside, how can I listen to the noise in the yard?" ”
Mama Liu said: "Zhang, who is not the girl's nurse, said early in the morning that she wanted to eat egg custard, and asked Xiaoman to bring it to her, Xiaoman went to the big kitchen, but they didn't give it to her, so she had to come back empty-handed." Zhang's was dissatisfied, slapped her, still angry, and wanted to fight again, Dongxue grabbed her hand and didn't allow her to fight, Zhang's was a stout middle-aged woman, Dongxue was just a half-old child, where was her opponent, and she was also slapped in the face, and now, it made a fuss. ”
Qian Yuning was also a little angry: "This Zhang family is getting bolder and bolder. ”
Mama Liu said on the side: "When I first came, I looked good, but I didn't expect that the Tao would become more and more tricky at this time, don't you know, a few days ago, she actually began to instruct me and Mama Sun to come, and asked for help to get this for a while, and for a while to help take that." It's not okay to ignore her, saying that it's holding a girl, it's not easy to take things, and it's not easy to do things. ”
Qian Yuning said angrily: "Don't you know to ask her to take it herself?" Really. ”
Mama Liu didn't dare to reply, she just closed her mouth and didn't speak, the voice in the courtyard made people's hearts rush up with a fire, Qian Yuning glanced at Mama Liu, pointed to the door and said: "Go, let the Zhang family shut up for me, and if I don't shut up, I will rush out of the house immediately." ”
"Yes, auntie." Mama Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she really hated this Zhang family in her heart.
After a while, the yard was clean, Dong Xiang and Xiao Man came in to wait for Qian Yuning to get up and change clothes, but they saw that the aunt had already gotten up and dressed herself, and the two looked at each other, and they wanted to come together to serve and freshen up.
Qian Yuning looked at a slap mark on the faces of Dong Xue and Xiao Man, and said angrily: "You two go down and ask Xia Ying and Lichun to come in and serve." The two maids' faces turned pale, put down the handkerchiefs in their hands, and withdrew. Xiaoman couldn't help crying as soon as he walked out of his aunt's door, and Dongxue reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't cry." After saying that, I also felt a sour nose, so I quickly held my breath and held back, and finally did not shed tears.
Dongxue walked up to Xia Ying and wanted to say it to her with a smile, but she didn't laugh out loud, and only said stiffly: "Auntie asked you and Lichun to serve." Looking at the faces of the two of them that lit up all of a sudden, Dongxue only felt a bitterness in her mouth.
Zhang Nanniang, who was standing under the eaves, looked at this scene, raised her head and snorted heavily in a nasal voice, her mouth was flattened, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
