442 Steward Du Zhong
"What test?"
Junsheng turned to the side and asked amusedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She felt that sometimes Wanniang was very mature, but sometimes she was like a child.
For example, now, just like those fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, who learn that their good sisters have a crush, those who are bold still want to try the heart of their lover for their good sisters.
"Let's not talk about this first, you still tell me about the housekeeper in the outer courtyard!"
Wan Niang said.
Junsheng touched Wan Niang's head dotingly and said, "Okay! Although I don't know why Mrs. Du is interested in Steward Du, I'd better tell Mrs. about it for my husband! ”
After speaking, Junsheng began to talk about Steward Du.
Du Butler, named Du Zhong.
The sons of the Hou Mansion all follow the surname Qin, or have no surname, except for this housekeeper of the outer courtyard.
Du Zhong's grandfather was the house slave of Junsheng's great-grandfather, and they grew up together, and later followed them to the battlefield, so they had a very good relationship.
Du Zhong's father is also a little servant next to the old lady, but he died a few years ago.
In the past, the old lady also said that he would release the slave status of the Du family and restore the body of a good citizen, but Du Zhong's father was unwilling, saying that the Qin family had a great favor to them and was willing to follow him to the death.
The old lady couldn't fight, so she said that as long as the descendants of the Du family were unwilling to be in the Hou Mansion in the future, they could leave at any time.
At that time, the old lady wanted to train Du Zhong, who was as big as Hou Ye, to study or march to fight, but unfortunately, Du Zhong's slave thinking was too heavy, and the management of the Hou Mansion was in order, but he was not interested in making meritorious contributions.
The old lady couldn't, and after telling Hou Ye, he let Du Zhong be the housekeeper.
At that time, Du Zhong could be regarded as the youngest housekeeper in a large family.
Later, he chose a daughter-in-law Cao who was not a child of the family, that is, the steward of the kitchen.
Cao is also a very neat woman, and the kitchen is very blessed to her.
The husband and wife are very harmonious, and the worst thing is that for many years, there has only been one daughter in the cuckoo.
When Du Juan was ten years old, the couple also accepted their fate, no longer thinking too much, and only loved Du Juan.
Because of her love for the cuckoo since she was a child, she is not like an ordinary maid, so Du Zhong said to the eldest princess that she wanted the cuckoo to do something light in the outer courtyard.
The eldest princess naturally agreed.
Moreover, the eldest princess also plans to pick a good family for Du Juan, the Du family has been sincere to the Hou Mansion for several generations, she can't bear to watch people become slaves and maids for generations, but this idea is not spoken.
"Wow, this Du Steward's family is really ......"
After listening, Wan Niang didn't know how to describe it.
Let's be heartfelt, you yourself are sincere, but you can't ask your next generation to do the same!
"That's heartfelt! To be honest, I admire them all. ”
Junsheng also sighed.
"No, I think they're stupid, why don't they get rid of slavery when they have the opportunity."
Wan Niang suddenly felt that it was a little difficult for her to convince Steward Du about this. Cao Shi said that she can often meet in the kitchen.
This does not allow the cuckoo to go to the pear orchard, and it is the meaning of the Du housekeeper.
"Every man has his own thoughts! If the cuckoo was a man, maybe the Du steward would have proposed it, but the cuckoo was a girl, and they didn't think about it so much. ”
Junsheng said.
"What's wrong with the girl? The girl will have to marry in the future! The girl has her own things to do! Could it be that Steward Du plans to let Du Juan be in the outer courtyard with him for the rest of his life, and then pick a satisfactory little guy in the Hou Mansion to marry Du Juan, and then let Du Juan live this life in a mess? ”
Wan Niang was a little excited.
It's not a good thing to be a subordinate person after all.
She won't talk about those who are forced to be helpless, it is a product of this era, but like Steward Du, the main family has to let them go, why do you continue to do this?
Doesn't the Hou Mansion have a form of signing a contract?
Why not choose that?
Wan Niang really didn't understand.
Junsheng was baffled by Wan Niang's sudden excitement.
said: "Madame is fighting for the cuckoo?" Madam, don't be angry, didn't I just say it, my mother will definitely find a good family for the cuckoo, and it will definitely not be a small house. Besides, Du Juan grew up with Yue'er when she was a child in the Hou Mansion, she knew how to read and write, and she didn't do any heavy work. ”
Wan Niang rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know?" Not every woman wants to be the backhouse woman who teaches her husband and children, and women also have their own dreams. ”
Junsheng hadn't seen Wan Niang roll his eyes for a long time, he thought it was very cute, and said with a smile: "What Madame said, if the women in this world are as unconfined to the inner house as Madam and Madame, then the way of the world will definitely be completely different." ”
Wan Niang nodded very seriously.
Isn't it? Maybe the thousands of years from now in Daqi will not be the earth, not China, but she believes that it will definitely be different from the current modern civilization.
"Is it because the cuckoo is so angry that the lady is so angry today?"
Seeing that Wanniang didn't speak, Jun asked clearly.
He still knows Wan Niang very well, although he asked Du Zhong, but Wan Niang mentioned the cuckoo many times, which shows that Wan Niang must be interested in the cuckoo.
"Isn't it? I think that if that girl goes to the pear orchard to cultivate well, she will definitely be the same as Shen Yuyao in the future, or better. Hey, it's just that this Steward Du doesn't let the cuckoo go to the pear orchard, listening to you say this, I think even if I say it, Steward Du will definitely not change his words. If I want to look at such a good talent like this, I don't feel very bad in my heart. ”
Wan Niang sighed.
In fact, she also wants to say that the most important thing is that other girls also like it, and they have this hobby, if she can't convince Steward Du, it will be watching a girl with empty dreams who can't show her strength because of the family's obstruction, and her dreams can't be realized.
How cruel is this!
Junsheng laughed when he heard this, and said, "Madam, I said why are you getting more and more stupid!" ”
Wan Niang glared at Junsheng, the meaning was very obvious, the old lady was in a bad mood now, don't come to mess with me.
Junsheng stopped laughing and said, "Didn't you understand after listening to so much just now?" ”
Wan Niang said angrily: "Why don't you understand, doesn't it mean that Steward Du is a stubborn old man?" ”
The corners of Junsheng's mouth twitched, this Steward Du is not old, a few years younger than his father.
"Besides this, Madame didn't hear anything else?"
Junsheng also rarely talked nonsense with her, and said directly: "The stubbornness of this Du steward is that the ancestors must be loyal to the Qin family and the master of the Qin family." And you are now also the master of the Qin family. (To be continued.) )
