Before dawn, you could hear the sound of people sweeping the yard, and the beds around me were also getting up, but they were not as noisy as in Zhuangzi, as if they were busy with themselves.

After Wisteria stretched his waist, he also sat up, and saw that the man named Gu Lan had already opened the curtain and walked out. Wakaka came over and put a set of clothes in her hand at the foot of her bed. There are strict rules on the clothing of the subordinates of the Zhongguo Mansion, the ranks are different, and the clothes are not the same, only the nurses and first-class maids around them can be different from others. Because the three of them only came, they couldn't make it immediately in the sewing room, so yesterday Zirui instructed Ruoxiang to take out the old ones and put them on first.

Wisteria put on her clothes, because Wakaka was shorter than her, so the corners and cuffs were a little shorter, but because it was summer, it was nothing. After tying up your hair and tidying up your bed, you go to the bathroom to wash up. When I met Qiu Xiang and came out, I saw the wisteria, and I said very affectionately. Wisteria also smiled and echoed, but it made Qiu Xiang stunned for a moment, and only turned around and went back to the house after Wisteria entered.

Qiu Xiang returned to the house, and saw that only Shui Cress was still lying in the room, so she walked over and patted her gently, "Little lazy worm, get up quickly, isn't this at home?" ”

Shui Cress took her hand and opened her eyes very reluctantly, "I didn't have a good rest when I came back yesterday, and I slept late at night, I really want to sleep a little longer." ”

"Let's go and ask Sister Ying'er what we do first, if we have leisure during the day, let's talk about it." Qiu Xiang sat on the embroidery stool and said to the clothed cress while rubbing the balsam,

"Yesterday I said it well, you can't have that attitude towards Wisteria anymore, you didn't see that you only said a few words yesterday, and she went to Sister Zirui to sue you, causing you to be told by Sister Zirui."

"Or how about she's a sinister one, huh, what?" Cress put on her shoes and folded the quilt angrily.

"Hey, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, in the yard of the second young lady, except for Mother Liu, her sister is the biggest, and bear with it."

"What her sister, she picked it up by one, it's just a good life. Don't worry, I know, you think I'm that ignorant? Fortunately, her sister will marry first, and your sister-in-law will marry later, hmph, naturally I have a chance. After saying that, Shui Cress opened the curtain and walked out.

Qiu Xiang looked at the cress walking by the window, and remembered what Shuangqiao said to herself yesterday. Yesterday, Shuangqiao served the second lady to go to the old lady for dinner, and came back later. Just like Zirui confessed to Wisteria, Shuangqiao naturally also talked about the interpersonal relationships in the yard and Qiu Xiang in detail.

In the end, she was specially instructed to have a good relationship with Wisteria and let everyone know that the two of them were good sisters. And judging from the current situation, there is no need to treat wisteria as his opponent, and he does not pay attention to some little girls and rough mothers-in-law in his yard, the important thing is to strive to go to the second class, and have time to have a good relationship with Jiao Hong and Jiao Xing and a few second-class people, and don't be shallow like cress.

Shuangqiao is going to get married next spring, and he will have an advantage over Wisteria in terms of time. Besides, Shuangqiao is right, Wisteria came in with him, and he would not rise much faster than himself in terms of seniority, so he didn't need to focus on her, as long as he used this nerd to find something to do from time to time. Before Shuangqiao got married, it was the most important thing to let yourself have a face in front of the second lady.

Qiu Xiang couldn't help but think of what her mother said when she was leaving, "With my daughter's talent, it's definitely no problem to do that." And you don't have to listen to your sister-in-law say that you will find a competent steward to be a steward in the future. According to my mother, it is good to be an aunt next to the young master in the future, and when the time comes, eat and drink spicy, so that the slave calls the maid, if there is another little master, my daughter will be glorious and rich in this life, and then your cousin will have to kneel for you! ”

Then I remembered that when I went to the old lady's courtyard to deliver sundries in Zhuangzi, I happened to see the side of the prince, and sure enough, he was the best among the people, how could he be compared to those little stewards. Qiu Xiang thought as her face flushed.

Wisteria followed Ruoxiang into the back room, where there were flowers, grass, and some tree roots that the second lady liked on weekdays, and those two mountain birds were actually raised here, and they didn't die after walking so far. When Wisteria was a child, I heard my grandfather say that the things on the mountain are the most unbearable at home, and they will be "angry" to death, which shows that the adaptability of these two birds is not ordinarily strong.

It can be seen that Ruoxiang is in charge of the gadgets and small things of the second lady. Ruoxiang fed everything that should be fed, and moved the flowers and plants outside, and Wisteria followed her, cutting off the extra branches and pouring water into the pot. There was a small porcelain pot on the flower shelf, and there were two small turtles in it, only half the size of a fist, carrying green shells on their backs, and slowly climbing up the ladder that was set up in the pot.

"It was found by the second young master a few years ago, and many of the Xihan things here from the second young lady were given by the second young master. The second young lady and the second young master are also the best, the fourth young master wants it every time he sees it, but the second young master doesn't give it, and I don't know what the reason is, whatever the fourth young master wants, the second young master will not give it. ”

At first, Wisteria only thought that Ruoxiang was chatting casually, but when I thought that Zirui had said that Ruoxiang's personality was not a talkative person, I thought about it carefully, this was to tell me that the second young lady was close to the second young master, but she hated the fourth young master. Wisteria said gratefully, "Thank you, sister." Wakaka didn't answer.

Although Zirui is the first person next to the second lady, she doesn't know everything, the girls below are in charge of their own errands, and there are some things that only they know. It seems that Zirui is right, and it is indeed very important to have a good relationship with the subordinates.

When she was almost done with her business, she saw Yuan Dong calling her through the flower shelf in the back room, saying that Young Master Lang was here and asked her to tell a story! Wisteria cleaned his hands busily, and after saying goodbye to Wakaka, he went to the main room. Last night, Yuan Dong went to tell myself that maybe Young Master Lang would come to listen to the story today. Wisteria admired this child's memory in his heart, and thought that he would have forgotten about it after a few days of driving and riding, because even the second lady didn't say that he wanted to listen to it again. I didn't expect to listen to it the next day after I came back.

Last night, Wisteria was still struggling with this problem while lying on the bed, and she really knew very little stories like this to children, and she couldn't tell everything, and she couldn't remember it with all her might. It's not like what I told the second lady, it's just a serial, and the content is easy to make up. I thought that these young masters were children's hearts, but I didn't expect them to be so persistent, and like many children of this age, they would always ask a few words why? Why don't you make it a little more difficult for this 5-year-old to teach the same lesson as a 12-year-old?

Wisteria thought as she arrived at the door of the second lady's main house. She stood under the eaves, and saw the door curtain open from the inside, and the second lady Xie Fang walked out, followed by Shuangqiao and Jiao Xing were still in Yuanyue. Xie Fang saw her and said with a smile, "You tell Brother Lang first, I'll go to the big sister's courtyard, and when I come back, we'll talk about Sun Monkey." After speaking, he stepped down the steps and sat on a small soft sedan chair, surrounded by servants Hulala. Wisteria kept hunching and waited for the second lady to go away before straightening up.

It seems that this national mansion should be very large, otherwise why would you go to the eldest lady and take a soft sedan chair, wisteria thought in her heart, and entered the main house with a curtain.

Wisteria was right, the Zhongguo Mansion was very large, covering an area of about sixty acres. To the east is the Pine Crane Garden, where the old lady lives. In the middle is the Shanzhi Hall where the grandfather and his wife live, and to the west is the Shuanglin Courtyard, which is also the outer courtyard, and the Shuanglin Courtyard is divided into several gardens, and several young masters live there. There is a lake at the back door of Shuanglin Courtyard that leads to the outer river to divert water, and around the lake is the Shufang Zhai where Sister Dabu lives. And the east side of Shufangzhai is the back garden of Xie Mansion. The Graceland where the second lady lives is at the back of the Songhe Garden. The Canglang Garden where the prince lives is in the middle of the Songhe Garden and the Good Knowledge Hall, some places near the back garden. This is just the location where the master lives, not counting the study of Grandpa Guo in the southeast corner, and the places where some subordinates live, and the pavilions in those back gardens.

In the banquet room of the second lady's room, Brother Lang was sitting on a low slump dangling his two calves, picking up cherries from the crystal plate with his hands and eating. Seeing Wisteria coming in, he was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at her with a pair of big black grape-like eyes, but obviously excited. After Wisteria saluted him, he showed his original liveliness, and asked the nurse to move the embroidery stool and sit opposite him, and before Wisteria could speak, he said where he had spoken last time.

Wisteria looked at the little Zhengtai in front of him, and felt that the ancients also attached great importance to the education of children, especially children like Lang Ge'er who would continue to have a huge family business in the future, and the rules were extremely strict.

Wisteria didn't say much, and slowly said the draft he had thought of last night, adding more character dialogues and scene descriptions according to his previous habits. A room full of people listened to her in silence. After sending off the children, he began to talk to the older children again in the afternoon, and in this way, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Wisteria has fully adapted to the new life.
