Chapter 21: The New Mother and the Maid

Cui led Xuejuan, Quetai walked in, saw Liu sitting on the main seat, and walked over with a smile: "Sister-in-law is also there?" ”

"I'll bring the gift list over to Qianning to see if I want to add something more." Liu also said with a smile.

"Should I let Qianning take a look, how about it? But right? If there is not enough or is not suitable to be replaced, just tell me that if you have something in the warehouse, you can add it, and if you don't have it, let people buy it quickly. ”

Qian Ning hurriedly said: "No need, my mother has prepared very properly, and there is no need to add any more things." ”

Liu Shi also continued: "Since Qianning thinks it is appropriate, I don't have anything to do, so I will go first." "I'm going to get up.

Cui's took two quick steps and pressed Liu's: "Sister-in-law is fine, I still have something to do, and I have to help my sister-in-law check this matter." After speaking, he said to Xue Juan again: "Quickly call everyone in." ”

Xue Juan took the order and walked out.

Although Liu didn't know what medicine was sold in Cui's gourd, he opened his mouth to help, so he sat down again.

After a while, Xuejuan led two mothers and ten maids in.

It turned out to be an addition to Tingyuxuan. That is indeed to be in the presence of the Liu family, after all, he is a person from the long house, and the elders of the long house have the final say. Otherwise, Cui's rashly sent people in, just afraid that he would not be able to escape the suspicion of overstepping his bounds. Qian Ning thought secretly, and paid a little more attention to Cui's meticulous actions.

Cui Shi pointed to the two mothers standing in front: "This is Mother Mo and Mother Li, both of them are the housekeeper mothers in the garden, and they will go to Tingyuxuan to serve in the future." ”

Mother Mo and Mother Li saluted Qian Ning's blessing body: "The old slave has seen the eldest and youngest grandmothers. ”

Qian Ning motioned for them to get up, looked at them twice, and saw that Mother Mo had a round face and big eyes, and her face was kind, while Mother Li had a long face and thin eyes, with a seriousness between her eyebrows, and they all said that they were born from the heart, and the appearance of these two mothers was so different, I was afraid that the style of action was far from the same, and I didn't know if they could cooperate with each other in managing things in the future.

Qian Ning muttered in her heart, it's just the person arranged by the Cui family, no matter how inappropriate it is, you have to use it for a period of time first, and then decide according to the situation.

The ten maids standing in the back were some who had fallen from other places in the house, and some who had been newly bought from outside. The four in front are a little older, standing upright, with a calm face, and at a glance, they know that after training, they should be old servants in the house. And the latter few are a little immature, although they are dressed neatly, but their faces are a little timid, and they shouldn't have seen anything in the world.

However, the girl on the far left is a little different, although she looks inconspicuous, but she looks at her nose and nose and her heart, unlike other little maids, although she is timid, she can't help but have her eyes fluttering. I don't know where I bought it, but it looks like a good seedling. Qian Ning couldn't help but look at her twice.

Cui Shi continued to introduce the ten maids: "The first four maids were also working in the garden, and the last five were newly brought in from outside the house. Sister-in-law, Qianning, can you still get by? ”

Liu looked at a few maids one by one, and showed a satisfied look on his face: "My younger brothers and sisters have always been the most reassuring to do things. This mother and maid look at them are all diligent and sensible. The younger siblings are also bothered. ”

"Sister-in-law thinks it's good. Qian Ning got married, and there were not many people with her, not like Chengmei, and a Yongmei Zhai was about to let go of her dowry maid. Listen to Yuxuan, there are too few people here. They are all doors that enter together, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, how can I be willing to suffer in Qianning. No, someone handed over the list overnight, and first selected a few old people from the house who knew the rules, so that they could serve Qianning closely. I bought a few little maids from outside and took care of the work in the yard. ”

Cui's recounted the hard work of selecting and buying maids, Liu's originally brisk face gradually changed to a solemn look, and Qianning also frowned when she heard it, what is Cui's going to do? A dignified Mrs. Houfu is so chattering about inviting credit, is there a ** share? Moreover, the Liu family should not have the right to speak in the mansion as the Cui family, so why did the Cui family come to please the Liu family?

Qianning was a little puzzled, but Liu stood up and solemnly blessed Cui's body: "My younger brother and sister are so grateful for Qianning and hard work for Changfang." is also ashamed of being the eldest sister-in-law, and she has to help her younger siblings in everything. I really don't know when my brother and sister's kindness to the long house will be repaid......"

Cui Shi hurriedly helped Liu up: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" You and I are close relatives, and we are under the same roof, where are we so polite. Now Yan'er has two rooms, and the relationship between the two rooms is closer, Qianning said that she is the daughter-in-law of the long house, but in fact, she is also my daughter-in-law, and I also love her in my heart. ”

When Cui's words came to this, Qianning couldn't help but express her position, and made a big salute to Cui's: "In my mother's house before, my mother died early, and I haven't experienced too much maternal love since I was a child. ”

First Liu's, then Qianning, they were so grateful, Cui's finally got a little satisfied, pulled Liu's with one hand, and Qianning with the other: "Look at you two mothers and sons, thank me so ceremoniously, I'm embarrassed." It's as if I'm doing these things as a token of your gratitude. ”

Liu wanted to say something more, but Cui shook her hand slightly: "Sister-in-law doesn't need to say thank you anymore, if you say it, it's just a separation from me." ”

Liu had no choice but to withdraw his hand and said, "There will be a lot of trouble for my younger brothers and sisters in the future, so I won't say more words of gratitude." ”

Cui Shi nodded: "Wherever there is trouble, it is all a family." Then he turned to those maids and said, "In the future, you will be the subordinates of Yuxuan, and you must serve the young grandmother with all your heart, if there is any mistake, I will not spare you!" ”

All the maids and wives should answer.

Cui Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, listening to Yuxuan, there should be four big maids and four second-class maids. Qianning, do you want to make some arrangements first? ”

Arrangement? The faces haven't even remembered what to say. If there is Cui's or the old lady's eyeliner in it, one is not well placed, and it angers the backers behind it, won't he be able to eat and walk around?

Qian Ning smiled: "These maids are all personally selected by the aunt, they must be excellent, I am the first time I have seen them, where can I see the superiority, otherwise according to what the aunt said, a few old people in the house will work in the inner room first, and Mother Mo will be in charge, and the new ones who come in outside will be in the outer courtyard for the time being, and Mother Li will be responsible for the training, and after a period of time, the level will be determined, so is it appropriate?" ”

In a few words, Qian Ning arranged the maid and her two mothers lightly, and it was reasonable and reasonable, and she couldn't find any mistakes. Cui Shi didn't express any further objections, but said: "Since you are a subordinate who listens to Yuxuan, you naturally have to listen to your arrangement." ”

Qian Ning thanked Cui's and continued: "Qian Ning has a reluctant request, and she also asks her mother and aunt to decide. ”

"If there's anything missing, just say it." Cui said.

Liu also bowed his head and gestured to Qian Ning and said directly.

Qian Ning said: "A rough maid named Xiao Linden, she has served properly in the past two days, I want to call her into the house to serve, and I have promoted a second-class maid, I don't know if it is appropriate." ”

The ten maids brought in by himself didn't give a name, I thought I was cautious and didn't dare to easily divide the highs and lows, but it turned out that I wanted to cultivate my own subordinates. This Lu Qianning is quite thoughtful. Cui's heart turned nine twists and eighteen turns, but his face was not obvious, he still had a loving face, and he was about to say something. But I heard Liu Shi say: "Brother and sister Fang Cai also said, when you enter Tingyu Xuan, they are all your subordinates, and it is naturally up to you to decide how to arrange it." Originally, I was worried that the newcomer would not serve you well, but now that you happen to have someone around you, it is not too much to be promoted to a second-class maid. You say yes, brother and sister? ”

It turned out that her mother-in-law was a pig and a tiger, and she seemed to be submissive and silent, but she hit her with one blow and gagged her with what Cui said before. Even if Cui's is not happy with his own arrangement, he has nothing to say. Qian Ning thought to herself.

Sure enough, Cui Shi said: "Sister-in-law really said what was in my heart, Qianning, you can watch it yourself." ”

After a few more pleasantries, Cui Shifang took Xuejuan and Quetai and left Tingyuxuan.

Liu no longer sat for a long time, and went back after instructing Qianning to pay attention to the things he would pay attention to when he returned to the door.

Mengqian helped Liu, said thoughtful words, and the maid who followed took a few steps back very interestingly.

"Qian'er, why are you so sullen? Is there something upset about it? Liu took Mengqian's hand and said with concern.

Mengqian was still silent.

Liu Shi knew a little in his heart: "Don't you like Qianning's sister-in-law?" ”
