Chapter 258: A small turnover
Master Jiang nodded: "Of course, you have a fancy?" ”
"Yes, I knew a few handmaidens when I was learning the rules in the miscellaneous courtyard, and I got along with them. Father, can I go and get them over? ”
"Yes, you have chosen someone to tell your mother, and your mother will arrange their monthly meals."
Ling'er immediately got up happily and thanked Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang's face was very ugly.
This maid suddenly became a young lady, not only to give her food, clothing and shelter, but also to raise a few maids to serve her, and calculate that she would have to pay at least ten taels of silver more per month, which is really painful; I knew that I shouldn't have let her into the house in the first place.
Master Jiang stood up and said, "Madam, I'm going to the yamen, Xiaobai is bothering you to help Haosheng arrange the arrangements." ”
Mrs. Jiang stood up with a smile and gave him a full dress, Ling'er also followed Master Jiang's side step by step, and when Master Jiang went out, he saw that Ling'er was still following, so he patted her on the shoulder: "Child, you are so good to stay at home, I will come back in the evening, let's have a good chat, ah!" ”
Ling'er and Mrs. Jiang watched Master Jiang leave, as soon as Master Jiang left, Mrs. Jiang's face immediately changed, the original smiling face pulled the old elder, squinted at Ling'er and said: "Xiaobai, this backyard is Mrs. Ben's house, what do you want to tell me directly in the future, don't bother the master in everything, the master is busy with official business, and he has no time to take care of these idle things." ”
Oh, idle! Ling'er lowered her eyebrows and hung her head in please, pretending to be obedient on the surface, but she was like a mirror in her heart.
Madame Jiang sat on the edge of the table, knocking on the table with one hand, but her eyes were staring at Ling'er in a daze. It doesn't seem like a good idea. Jiang Huaiping left and no one helped, Ling'er planned to withdraw first, so Fu Fushen: "If the mother is fine, the daughter will go back first!" ”
"Stop!" Ling'er had no choice but to stop. Standing with a low brow and a pleasing eye.
Mrs. Jiang stood up and paced around Ling'er: "You...... How old is this year? ”
Ask about age? What does she want to do? Ling'er was vigilant all over, and replied obediently on her face: "Back to my mother, Xiaobai is fifteen this year." ”
"What's your birthday?"
"Back to my mother, it's the eighth day of the fifth month."
"Is it the eighth day of the fifth month? It's already over fifteen years old......" Mrs. Jiang muttered quietly, Ling'er had an alarm bell in her head, what are you doing? Do you want to sell me for money again?
Mrs. Jiang walked around with her hands on her chest: "What is your mother's name?" Who? ”
Ling'er remembered that her biological mother's name was similar to Miss Jiang's, and she didn't know if Mrs. Jiang knew it. Then he turned around and said: "Back to my mother, Xiaobai has been with my adoptive parents since I was a child, and they don't know my biological father and mother. So I never told Xiaobai's biological mother's surname, name, etc...... If the mother wanted to know, why not ask the father himself. ”
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her coldly, thought for a while, and said, "Do you know that you still have a brother?" ”
My brother? Ling'er spun around in her head a few times, yes. Wan Xiaogui said that the master in the house also has the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother. The eldest young grandmother had already seen it last time, and the eldest young master had never shown up.
That person is definitely not his own brother, most of them were born to Jiang Huaipingyuan, and his biological mother is just a maid in the eyes of the Jiang family...... Could it be that this Madame Jiang still doesn't know about Ye Yan'er's existence? Do you think I'm also born to Jiang Huai Pingyuan?
Ling'er weighed it in her heart, since this Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to see herself, nor does she want to see Young Master Jiang's family, then she and Young Master Jiang are together, why don't you just recognize this brother. Isn't there someone else who will help in this house in the future?
So, Ling'er pretended to be happy and said, "Really? Mother. Do I really have a brother? ”
Seeing Ling'er's expression again, Mrs. Jiang felt that it was an eyesore, and she regretted a little that she shouldn't have reminded her, forget it, it's just a little girl, what big waves can be turned over, she waved her hand impatiently: "You go, don't bother me if it's okay." ”
Ling'er happily saluted Mrs. Jiang and left happily.
As soon as she came out of Madame Jiang's courtyard, Ling'er put away the weak and pitiful idiot she had before, picked up the young lady's shelf and walked slowly around the yard. In the past, when I saw someone, I had to nod my head and salute and say hello, but now I have no one in my nostrils everywhere I go, this feeling is really good, Ling'er thought to herself that nouveau riche probably feels like this, right? It's so fucking ~~ cool!
Ling'er walked slowly to the courtyard, and happened to meet Sister-in-law Zhang who came out of the laundry room opposite, Ling'er walked over with her head raised: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you're very busy?" ”
There was such a big movement last night, Ling'er's identity has already been known to the whole house, Sister-in-law Zhang was very surprised when she heard the news, she didn't expect that she would casually bring a little maid into the house to be the daughter of the county lord, she was happy and worried, happy that she had also made a contribution, and worried that if Mrs. Jiang was unhappy, would she count this account on herself?
Before she could figure out what to do, she met the new lady. She hurriedly nodded and said hello, Ling'er raised her chin and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, I can recognize my father, and you have your credit!" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled dryly and said she didn't dare, Ling'er wanted to embarrass her, but she didn't do anything to make herself ugly, but Aunt Zhu's family, who brought her to Donghu County, was good to herself, so she asked: "Do you often let out the work in the laundry room for others to do?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang quickly denied when she heard this: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's really ...... It's too busy...... Just let some out. ”
"Then Aunt Zhu, have they come to pick up clothes recently?"
"They came the day before yesterday, and they may be back tomorrow with their clothes, miss, you... Is there something wrong with them? ”
"It's okay, call someone to let me know when they come tomorrow, I want to see them."
"Yes, the slave must have it in mind."
Ling'er nodded with satisfaction, and then walked to the courtyard, at this time, Mama Li happened to be not in the courtyard, and Mother Tan stayed behind, and the maids and maids in the courtyard were busy working.
Ling'er swaggered into the yard and saw a few lotus people who were cooking rice at a glance. She coughed deliberately, and all the maidservants in the courtyard looked over and saw that it was her, and changed their clothes, and everyone looked at each other.
Mother Tan walked out of the backyard and when she saw Ling'er, she hurriedly put on a smiling face to greet her: "Oh, it's Miss Xiaobai!" The slave maid asked Miss Xiaobai to say goodbye. ”
The other maids in the courtyard looked at Mother Tan and Ling'er in surprise, when she was in this courtyard, this Mother Tan did not let herself be punished, Ling'er ignored her, so she let her squat, let her also taste the taste of squatting for two quarters of an hour.
Ling'er accepted everyone's attention, swaggered up to the lotus people, and pointed at them: "You guys, follow me and serve in the future!" ”
Several people looked at Ling'er in surprise, but Chrysanthemum reacted first and took the lead in thanking her. The other people were suddenly full of surprise, and Lotus said happily: "The master recognized you?!" ”
Ling'er smiled, gave her a look, and said, "Why don't you pack up your things and come with me." (To be continued......)
