Chapter 22 Gossip

"Satisfied?" As soon as Ye Qing went out, Mo Shi turned his head and asked Yan Ruojiu with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yan Ruojiu rolled up, tired of laughing in Mo's arms and said: "It's still a good mother, thinking about signing a living deed, and I can give them a way back." ”

Mo Shi smiled and said: "I really pity Ye Qing's sister and brother, but the signing of the living deed is not only because my mother and I have a good heart, in fact, I also left a way back for us." ”

"Mother?" Yan Ruojiu didn't understand Mo's words.

Mo Shi smiled and said: "You can also see that this Ye Qing sister and brother are definitely not bitter children from a small family, although they can't be sure about what is going on behind them, it's right to let go and leave room for them." ”

"Mother, if you're worried, then ...... The daughter doesn't want it. Yan Ruojiu said with a frown.

"Hehe, can you not do it? Actually, I also like this Ye Qing girl, as long as she can serve and accompany you with peace of mind, I don't want to pursue the rest, but you have to have a bottom in your heart, this is your maid after all, and you also have to learn how to manage the training, understand? Mo nodded at Yan Ruojiu's little nose and smiled.

"Mother, don't worry, I know." Yan Ruojiu rubbed coquettishly in Mo's arms.

This afternoon is almost over, and after some inquiry, Mo Shi picked out four maids, two mothers-in-law, and two small maids, plus the maids and mother-in-law assigned by the Yan Mansion before, and the courtyard became lively all of a sudden.

Except for the two newly selected maids who were arranged to live with other male servants in the front yard, the rest of the maids and mothers-in-law were arranged in the back cover room of the courtyard, the population was not large, but it could be one person, and Ye Qing was naturally a separate room.

However, Ye Lan is a man who is over ten years old and can't stay in the inner courtyard, but Mo Shi said hello in advance, and there are people in the front yard who can take care of him, and at first, he will not arrange too heavy work for Ye Lan, after all, Mo has other plans for Ye Lan's arrangement.

After choosing the maid and the mother-in-law, Mo took the old woman in the house to train herself, and three days later, the maid and the mother-in-law performed their duties.

Ye Qing followed Yan Ruojiu, Xiang'er and Shen'er followed Mo Shi before, and the rest of the people took care of the courtyard, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.

The people in this courtyard have settled, and the big things in Mo's heart have rested a little, and it has only been seven or eight days, and the maids and mothers-in-law have slowly adapted to the rules and things in the yard, seeing that the weather is about to enter winter, and now it is the end of autumn, and Mo's also took the maids, and the mother-in-law began to prepare for the winter.

On this day, Mo was doing needlework in the house, and Xiang'er came in at the door and replied, "Madam, the second lady is here." ”

"Oh, the second lady is here, then please come in quickly." Mo Shi said that he was about to remove the brocade quilt on his body, and went down to the ground to greet him.

Before this was greeted at the door of the house, the second lady Dong had already entered the house with a smile, and Mo hurriedly smiled: "The second sister-in-law is here, look at me, I am too lazy to go out for a day, it is too late to change my robe to see you, don't be angry, second sister-in-law." ”

Dong took Mo's hand affectionately and said: "Look at you, they are all a family, what are you polite, I just begged for leisure, I wanted to come over to see what you still lacked, but it made you nervous, how about it, is this selected maid still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, thank you second sister-in-law, I was very satisfied with all the maids that day, but unfortunately, I could only ask for a few first, but it made me sad for a while, and I couldn't choose it." Mo also joked with a smile.

"You, if you like it, you can choose to come in, but it's just a matter of raising a few more people, what's so tangled with this?" Dong doesn't care.

"Hey, if you change the second sister-in-law, it may be easy to say, I don't have the time and ability to train them one by one, these are enough, come, the second sister-in-law is going to the inner hall, the weather is strangely cold." Mo climbed the arm of the second lady Dong and entered the inner hall.

When he arrived in the inner hall, the Mo family invited the Dong family to go to the kang, and sat down with a brocade quilt before saying: "I only thought it was too cold in the winter in the north, but I didn't expect it to be so cold in the late autumn in this capital, but it made people unable to adapt to it for a while." ”

"Hehe, where do you look like a person who has been in the north for all these years, you are so afraid of the cold, but like a woman from the south." Dong took the tea cup from the maid and said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm not afraid of the second sister-in-law's jokes, although I have been in the north for a few years, but I am still afraid of the cold in my bones, often in winter, I can not go out, I don't go out, most of the days are to nest in the house, no, this is for the second sister-in-law to see." Mohs also joked to himself.

"Hehe, you are used to being lazy, but the charcoal fire in this house is burning enough, but it is warm, well, this red date tea is also drunk hot, but it is good, but it is not a long-term thing for you to stay in the house like this, you are also a housewife, and the external communication of female dependents still depends on you, by the way, I came here today, just to tell you that in a few days it will be the birthday of Prince Rong, and the famous ladies in Beijing are among the invitees, and the third brother is the military attache of the fourth grade, and you have a decree in you, You must attend such a banquet. Dong said a few polite words and got down to business.

"Prince Rong's birthday?" Mo Shi was a little unfamiliar.

"Yes, it's her birthday, and the ladies in the capital will be there at that time, but it's a good time for you to socialize, and there are many wives and families of the third brother's boss." Dong took a sip of tea.

"That's good, but I'm just going back to Beijing, and besides, Prince Rong doesn't have any invitations there, so it's not appropriate for me to go rashly." Mo also had some concerns.

"Oh, you, what are you doing so carefully? It's because you went back to Beijing, and you need to quickly integrate into the circle of noble women in Beijing, so I came to tell you the news, besides, you don't have to worry about inviting or not invited, I will definitely go when the time comes, the old lady and her old man are naturally also invited, but because of the status of the elderly, the old lady has never gone in person, most of them are let us bring the congratulatory gifts, this year I am afraid that it will be the same, when the time comes, you follow me to go together, and you and they are familiar with each other, Wouldn't it be easier to deal with things in the future? "The Dong family seems to have already arranged it.

Mo Shi also heard the meaning of Dong's words, that is, I have already arranged this matter for you, and you have no reason to refuse not to go, hearing this, although Mo Shi felt a little worried, but in the end he felt that this was also a beneficial thing, so he smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law has bothered to arrange it like this, so I naturally have no reason to refuse, but this Prince Rong, I don't know anything about it, and I ask the second sister-in-law to tell me a little about it." ”

Since you want to go, you have to understand the habits of the master first, otherwise you will go rashly, and if you commit a taboo, it will be worth the loss.

Dong Shi saw that Mo Shi agreed and ate a few mouthfuls of tea before he smiled: "It's no wonder you don't understand, this Prince Rong is also relatively low-key, she is the concubine of the princess of Nanping Si County, her name is Si Ningyun, she is a noble family and married to the land of imperial power, but it is very blessed, these years have also been favored by Prince Rong, and he has two young sons, one is the current Prince Rong son Jiang Zhengyu, and the other is the eldest princess and the emperor's favored son Jiang Zhengxi, and outsiders call him Jiang Sangongzi. ”

"Jiang Sangongzi......" Mo suddenly felt that this title seemed to have been heard somewhere.

"Yes, this Jiang Zhengxi, the third son of Jiang, is more precious than ordinary princes, which is also the blessing of Prince Rong." Dong said with envy.

"How can you say that, even if it is the son of the prince's family, how can he be more respectful than the emperor's son?" Mohs was puzzled.

"Hey, this is all an old thing, but you should also know something, when Prince Rong was about to give birth, it was just in time for the emperor's birthday banquet in the palace, and the third prince of Jiang was born on that day, the emperor was very happy, and he was particularly fond of this child who was born with him on the same day, and the eldest princess was also extremely spoiled by this child because of the cinnabar mole in the child's heart, so that this child is much more noble than the children of other princely families, even the princes and princesses in the palace are not as good as him, After all, the child who can enter the eyes of the eldest princess is really only Jiang Zhengxi. "Dong is very happy when he talks about these strange rumors in the palace.

"It's strange that this is happening again, it's a blessing to be born on the same day as the emperor, but it's strange that this cinnabar mole can win the favor of the eldest princess." Mo said curiously.

"Who said no, you also know that the eldest princess is a horse, unruly, and no one has ever taken it seriously, even the emperor has to give three points, but she can love this child so much, but it makes rumors spread in the outside world, but it is not because of how the child is, but more because of the cinnabar mole on the child's body, I heard that the eldest princess also has a cinnabar mole in the heart, so this child is afraid that it has aroused the wound in the heart of the eldest princess." Dong sighed and said.

"Why, is that rumor you heard all those years ago true?" Mo also gossiped.

"It's hard to say, but this topic has never been broken over the years, but it's just everyone's curious speculation, but there is no real evidence, and besides, she is the eldest princess, no one will be stupid to ask in person." Dong shook his head and said helplessly.

"That's right, but the eldest princess should have been unmarried, right?" Mohs asked.

"Yes, I have never been married, so naturally I have no future." Dong said.

"Hey...... The eldest princess has paid her youth for the whole country, sacrificed too much, too much, and now the eldest princess is also a person who is not confused, and she must also be hoping to have children by her side. Mohs sighed.

"Maybe, but this is also the blessing of Prince Rong, although Prince Rong still has a son, but this child cannot be compared with the two children of Prince Rong and Concubine Fei, women should be very happy and contented when they come to this." Dong also sighed a little.

"Yes, does Princess Rong have any special preferences?" Mohs asked.

"I haven't heard of it in all these years, you don't have to worry about this, what I give, you can still prepare one, it's not too much of a problem." Dong said with a smile.

"That's naturally good, I'm a big person who doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid that this congratulatory gift will be inappropriate, but it will be disgusting." Mohs laughed to himself.

"You, if you often go out for a stroll and sit down and chat with the ladies of the family, you will naturally have experience, so I thought about taking you to see it, and you will naturally get used to it in the future." Dong Shi glanced down at the needle and thread that Mo Shi casually threw on the foot table, and then smiled: "This needle and thread is yours?" ”

Mo Shi was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not that I don't go there in the house, I'm so bored that I came over with a needle and thread to pass the time, but it made the second sister-in-law smile." ”

"It's good for you to leave these little things to the servants, and in the future, you still go out with me to meet those family ladies, which is good for the third brother and the nine girls, oh, by the way, speaking of the nine girls, how did you discuss with the third brother?" Dong remembered one more thing.
