Chapter 9 Entering the House
The laundry lady of the Bi family returned early, and Chunhua waited to go home after receiving the money.
Just when Bifu was issuing monthly money, there was a queue of maids in the account room to receive it, and Chunhua was the last.
Finally, it was her turn, Bifu was generous, and the salary should be 900 Wen, and the bookkeeper said that he had saved a few copper coins, and he gave one or two silver directly.
Chunhua thanked her, but thought in her heart that if she was the master of this Bifu, she would not be willing to use such a big minion.
What Chunhua didn't know was that Mrs. Tai of the Bi family, who believed in Buddhism, loved to send silver and rice to the poor. Under the instruction of Mrs. Tai, the helpers will be paid more. gave Chunhua a tael of silver, and two taels would be recorded in the account, and the people in the account room could also scoop up one or two taels of silver for oil and water.
Counting the helpers, it is only fifteen days, and there must be 67 yuan per day. The family can save two taels a year, which can easily earn half a year's money.
Chunhua received her wages and couldn't stop giggling.
Caught off guard, a pair of small feet stood in front of her, Chunhua looked up, and a girl looked at her with a smile.
That girl is so good-looking, with a pair of smiling eyes, and the mood of people looks better.
"You're Ge Chunhua." The girl asked with a smile.
"Yes, I am."
"I'm the maid in the eldest lady's house, Qiuyu, and the eldest lady asked me to come to you." Qiu Yu said with a smile.
"The eldest lady looking for me?"
Qiu Yu said again: "Don't be afraid, just ask how you are doing in Bifu?" Did the people below bully others? Bifu is a rule-abiding family, and he pays the most attention to such things. ”
The sound of the autumn rain is soft and very soothing.
"Got it." Chunhua replied, and followed Qiu Yu to the eldest lady.
Chunhua is a country girl, maybe rustic, but not stupid. What Qiu Yu said was completely Mongolian's words, thinking that she was a country girl, she came to Bifu to wash her clothes for a few days, how did she attract the attention of that big lady? Most likely not for himself, but because the little uncle went to Bifu to be a scholar.
Bifu is very large, and when listening to the maids chatting, Chunhua knew that there were five courtyards in it, which were all connected, and there must be more than 50 acres.
I felt like I had been walking for a long time before I arrived at the place.
The hall was magnificent, but Chunhua didn't dare to look around.
The eldest lady nodded secretly, looking loyal and honest.
"Hello lady." Chunhua didn't know what to do, so she said dryly.
"You're here to help in Bifu, are the people treating you well?" The eldest lady asked.
"The Bi family is a generous family, and the aunts treat me very well." Chunhua replied.
"Madam, there is still a girl in the kitchen, I see that this girl is good, can you ask her if she can come to the kitchen?" A maid said in a delicate voice.
The eldest lady smiled: "You girl, you want to be lazy." ”
"Oh, ma'am. The kitchenette is really busy. "The eldest lady seems to have a good temper, and the maid can be coquettish with her.
After that, the maid walked up to Chunhua and took Chunhua's hand: "Sister, look, can you come to me to help me?" I can have two taels of monthly money every month. ”
It's an inducement. Chunhua didn't dare not agree, and after the lure, it should be coercion. She stayed in Bifu as a maid, and the little uncle will definitely serve the young master Bi well. The eldest lady has taken great pains for her son.
"It's a great blessing to be able to work in Bifu." Chunhua said, "But I am the eldest sister in the family, my grandmother is blind, and my younger sisters are not sensible, my mother can't take care of her, I have to help her." ”
"My second sister Xia He is a smart one, and I begged my wife to let my sister come into the house."
There was silence in the room.
Chunhua's forehead was sweating.
"Sister Chunhua's sister must be good. Madame, you will answer her. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be up to you." The eldest lady smiled helplessly, "You are used to making trouble with me." ”
Chunhua walked out of the door of the front hall and wiped her sweat.
When she saw that the maid dared to be coquettish with the eldest lady, and there was nothing to fear in her words and behaviors, she knew that the eldest lady had a good temperament and would not worry much about her, so she dared to say that she would let Xia He come for her.
First, when dealing with people, Chunhua is not good at it, and she doesn't know if she accidentally offends people. And Xia He is a little smarter, and such an environment is like a fish in water.
Second, Chunhua is not happy to be a maid in Bifu, a helper is one thing, and a maid is another. Let Xia He come, but also to make her suffer, knowing how different her identity is from people, and she should not have other thoughts.
When she got home, Chunhua first told Chen Suyun about it.
Chen Suyun was unwilling, and she was angry with Chunhua, asking her how she could have such a vicious mind and push her sister into the fire pit.
"Mother! Then why does the Bi family have to let me stay there, aren't they afraid that the little uncle will not be good for his young master? Only by grasping someone in their hands can they feel at ease. If I don't agree, my little uncle will be fine, and the Bi family will crush us like an ant. I've heard people say that the master of the Bi family is bigger than the county magistrate outside! ”
"Then you shouldn't let Xia He go! Big families, pickled the most! ”
Chunhua sighed: "Mother, even if I don't do it." Xia He knew about this, and he would also make a fuss about going. Her heart is very big. This time, it would be good for her if I could teach her some lessons and let her know what is good and bad. ”
"But what if something happens?" Things don't seem to be able to turn around, and Chen Suyun can only accept this fact.
"Xia He is smart, what can happen? Don't look at her and don't talk to us well, she has a good reputation outside, which aunt doesn't praise her? I've inquired, Bifu is a kind family, if Xia He doesn't cause a big disaster, nothing will happen. Chunhua said.
What can be done, it's already like this.
Xia He was very happy, Bifu was a wolf's den in Chen Suyun's eyes, and a golden nest and a silver nest in her eyes. also repented a little in her heart, the eldest sister is so good, she shouldn't have scolded the eldest sister in her heart......
Seeing Xia He's smug look, Chunhua regretted it a little, and admonished: "You should be careful in everything." Just keep to yourself, don't do anything out of the ordinary! ”
"I know, I know." Xia He endured his irritability and responded one by one.
Chunhua didn't have anything to say when she saw this.
Xia He signed a living deed and could go home at any time.
Xia He brought all the belongings he had stolen, the earrings given by his uncle, and the silver bracelets given by his aunt. If you are a person, you will step on the low and praise the high, dress up better, others will not look down on you, and your life will be better.
Before going out, Xia He was sad, and took Chen Suyun's hand and refused to let go. provoked Chen Suyun to cry again.
