CHAPTER XXV

Wisteria had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, it was already the sun in the west. No one came back from the house, and I faintly heard someone talking in the hall. Wisteria sat up and unpacked her baggage. Clothes and stuff were put into the four unlocked cabinets in the four wardrobes. There is also a blue purse, which contains a silver bracelet rewarded by the old lady in the Zhuangzi and a gift received on the day of the confession. In addition, there are five taels of silver that Yu's mother forced into her when she left.

Wisteria thought about it and put the purse into her arms, which was all her net worth. After finishing it, he looked at the bronze mirror and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he went to the hall. As soon as I stepped out of the door, I heard Shui Cress say in a thin voice: "Oh, I really think I am Miss Qianjin, Sister Chunrou has been up for a while......" Before he could say more, he was stopped by Qiu Xiang's clothes.

"Sister Wisteria is up, Sister Chunrou came to tell us just now, and in a quarter of an hour, I will go to the second lady's room, and Sister Zirui will assign us an errand." After saying that, he took the hand of the cress again

"Sister Cress is the most rectal. Today I am a peacemaker, we are on an errand and live in a house, no matter what happened before, just make mistakes, who hasn't made mistakes a few times? Changed it. Shui Cress and turn that over the article, listen to my sister, and the three of us sisters will be on an errand in the future. ”

After hearing this, Wisteria raised his eyebrows, what is called making a mistake, forget it, who has not made a few mistakes. That day, when Zhuangzi was leaving, he said to himself that it was not like this at all, and he really persuaded people.

"Thank you for bothering, the so-called clean people are self-purifying, how can I change what I haven't done." Wisteria looked at Akika with a straight face. Turning his head to Shui Qin, he said, "I'll tell you one last time, I haven't even seen a shadow of your pair of Rausch earrings, and now whoever wears them on them will let them rot their ears." This is the end of this matter today, if you talk about this matter again, don't blame me for being rude. With that, he turned around and went out the door.

"Sister Qiuxiang, you see, it's not that I refuse to reconcile with her, you see that she is reasonable, as if I took her things." Akika didn't answer, but looked thoughtfully at the back of Wisteria walking out.

A quarter of an hour later, the maidens and mothers-in-law in the courtyard of the second lady all gathered under the porch of the main house, and stood in the front and back rows. Jiao Hong stood on the top of the steps, holding a booklet in her hand, Zi Rui sat at a small table next to her, she didn't see Shuangqiao, Xu was waiting in the room. Yuan Dong and Yuan Yue both stood at the foot of the steps. Zirui said:

"There are two things to explain when I called everyone here today, one is because we have three new sisters in Graceland, and we will introduce you to each other. Second, due to the new recruits, the division of labor in this courtyard naturally has to be redrawn. I just finished discussing with Liu's mother and Shuangqiao, and reported to the second lady for approval, now let Jiaohong talk to everyone. ”

As everyone thought, Jiao Hong followed Zirui to take care of the second lady's clothes and money box, and Jiao Xing followed Shuangqiao to take care of food and daily life. This means that the position of Zirui and Shuangqiao, who got married this winter and next spring, must be done by these two.

The errand that Jiao Hong has been responsible for is done by Chun Rou, and Jiao Xing's work is taken over by Gu Lan. Watercress and Qiuxiang followed Ying'er to listen to her orders, and Wisteria followed Ruoxiang.

Wisteria raised her eyes to see this person named Ruoxiang, with a straight face, no expression in sight, not tall, and a slightly dark face. The girls all over the yard have Qi bangs, but she is the only one who combs her hair to the back of her head, revealing a slightly abrupt forehead.

Subsequently, I made some arrangements for the work of a few little girls and rough mother-in-law in the yard, and there should not be much change in their expressions. After everyone received the errand, Zirui stood up

"The second lady will leave some personal affairs to Jiao Hong and Jiao Xing in the future. If you have anything, you don't have to go back and forth between me and Shuangqiao for everything, and it's okay to report to them. The new sisters also have to follow your sister to work on errands, although the second lady is a kind master, but she can't allow the people below to be lazy and slippery, and she is not allowed to chew her tongue in private. It was spread out that the people in the courtyard of the second lady did not have a door on their lips. After speaking, he glanced at the cress, and the cress hurriedly shrank back.

Wisteria thought to herself, there really is no secret in this ancient compound, and she didn't go to complain, so naturally she has a little girl who pleases Zirui to say.

"Also, don't think that Jiao Hong Jiao Xing is young, so she has other thoughts, not to mention me and Shuangqiao, even if we leave the second miss in the future, there will also be Mother Liu. Don't think that you are an old man in the house, and do something to hurt yourself and dignity. For so many years, everyone knows that the subordinates of our Zhongguo Mansion are the most comfortable and light-hearted, and don't take the kindness of the master as their own reliance. In short, in a word, take care of your mouth and legs. Do you understand? ”

The crowd shouted in unison below, and the rear was scattered. Zirui stood up on the table and motioned for Wisteria to follow her. Wisteria walked over and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong, my face is a little not good." ”

"It's okay, it's just that I accidentally twisted it when I was cleaning up the second lady's things just now, just go back and lie down." After speaking, he took Wisteria's hand and went to the room where he lived.

In Graceland, as a first-class maid next to the second lady, Zirui has her own room, although it is not big, but it is clean and quiet. The sheets on the beds, the tents and the curtains on the windows were pale pink with small flowers, a bed, a table, two chairs, a pair of wooden chests, and a rack for hanging clothes.

Wisteria helped Zirui to lean on the bed, patted the quilt behind her, and found a comfortable angle for her. Then he went to the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, brought it over and put it on the high table next to the bed, and then went to get the towel on the face frame to be soaked, and was stopped by Zirui,

"Come here, don't be busy with that, I'm an old problem, I'm sick of a small one, and I'm going to make a bad mistake, just rest for a while." Come, let me have a few words with you. ”

Wisteria heard her say this, so she put the handkerchief back on the shelf and sat on the small embroidered stool beside the bed.

"In Zhuangzi, I really don't have time to talk to you about some things in the house, and after a while, Mother Liu, Shuangqiao and Jiao Xing will serve the second lady to go to the old lady's courtyard for dinner, let's talk about it.

"It was my idea to let you follow Ruoxiang, Ruoxiang doesn't look easy to get close to, but she is a pure-hearted person, she is a child of a family, and she and Lin Qing are two aunts and sisters." Zirui's face turned red after saying this, and Zi Rui thought for a while before remembering that Lin Qing was her future husband.

"I'm relieved to hand you over to her. One is a relative, and the other is that her father is on an errand under Grandpa Guo, and the family conditions are also good, and the reason why she came in on an errand is all for the reputation of serving by the side of the young lady, and it will be easy to find someone else in the future. "This wisteria knows something from the novel, in the past, those with better family conditions liked to find a girl who had been the master's big maid in a high-ranking family as a daughter-in-law, because of her knowledge, she was even better than the daughters of some small officials and Xiangkun people.

"Jiao Hong did it with me, and this time she was able to take care of the money box and clothes first, and I also have my credit. She'll remember the kindness, after all, I'll leave first. Shuangqiao is not close to me, and there is Qiu Xiang's affair in the middle, even if you both finally enter the mansion, but after all, it has been unpleasant. Therefore, with Jiaohong protecting you, I am also relieved.

"Jiao Xing has always been close to Shuangqiao, and she is a delicate eight-faced, you must remember not to make mistakes in front of her in the future. As for Miss Er's nurse Mother Liu, as long as she doesn't touch Miss Er's affairs, she won't care too much. So, what you need to do at the moment is to have a good relationship with a few people in your house, as well as the rough women in the yard, don't look at them all doing rough work, but a mouth is the most white and black, do you understand? ”

"Yes, sister, I know. To respect Liu's mother, to Shuangqiao and Jiaoxing, to endure. What is there to talk to Sister Jiaohong and Ruoxiang, and the other people in the courtyard should also get along with them. ”

"That's right, it's a little bit clear. Then there is the fact that Yuandong and Yuanyue are also very good, the difference is that Yuandong is bought from outside, and the foundation is not as good as Yuanyue. As for the others, I'll talk to you again when I have time, so you can familiarize yourself with it first. We are cousins, and if there is nothing special, it is better to avoid suspicion, and if there is an emergency, I will call Ruoxiang to find me. ”

"Yes, I wrote it down. Sister, what did Ruoxiang say to me? ”

"Well, yes, she said it." Then Wisteria told Zirui what Qiu Xiang had said to her.

"Listening to you, this Qiu Xiang is even more harmful than her sister-in-law Shuangqiao. In the future, if you live in one house, although you can't have the heart to hurt others, you also have multiple hearts. It's just not too obvious, the old lady is the most taboo for people to form gangs. ”

The two talked for half an hour, until a little girl came in to say that it was time to eat, and Wisteria returned to the West Wing.
