Chapter 19 Understanding
"Today, my aunt's grandmother's family is here, my father should be in the house, Xiangyue, go to the front yard to find the master."
"Xianghe, you go and call all the maids and women in our courtyard to stand outside the door, Mama Qiao, please accompany me."
Lin Yuan calmed down and commanded one by one.
Xiangyue happily responded, and even jumped a little, and ran out in response to the sound.
"Miss, I'm afraid they won't come." Xianghe frowned worriedly.
"It's okay, just bring the words, come and let them take care of themselves." Lin Yuan replied, "Just one point, if anyone is going to be disrespectful, Mama Qiao, please teach me a lesson." ”
After the three of Xianghe left the house, Lin Yuan paced to the reception room. Walking to the big case of red sandalwood marble, Lin Yuan looked at the row of delicate brushes on the pen stand with some worry.
"Sharpen the ink first." She muttered and moved.
What is so special about the ink milled out by tea, Lin Yuan doesn't know, she can see the characteristics of the words she wrote with a brush, and the whole thing is a ghost drawing.
Lin Yuan glanced at the crooked words "small courtyard" with a weak heart.
"Fortunately, I learned calligraphy in elementary school."
Lin Yuan wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead, and then wrote down.
Xianghe and Mama Qiao came back first, and Lin Yuan had already rolled up her sleeves to deal with the pen and paper in her hand.
"Miss, what are you?" Xianghe gave a strange look.
Lin Yuan smiled wryly, "It's okay, what's wrong with you?" ”
"There are three little girls." Xianghe Zhiwu replied, "None of the mother-in-law came, and they all shirked something." ”
"There was a woman in the small kitchen who kept scolding and kicked me." Qiao Yihuan didn't have anything to say, so he immediately said it.
"But that Mrs. Feng?"
"Yes." Xianghe looked worried, "I'm afraid that I will offend Mama Li this time." ”
"Just don't offend her, why don't they come over and disgust people?" Lin Yuan said expressionlessly, and thanked Qiao Yihuan as she spoke, "Mama Qiao has worked hard for you, thank you." ”
Originally, Xianghe's words made Qiao Yihuan frown, muttering in her heart that she was not a person inside and out, Lin Yuan's thank you made her relieved, waved her hand and said, "You three little girls are too young and too reluctant to swallow their voices, so they can be so humiliated." ”
"Not anymore." Lin Yuan smiled lightly, and looked down at the ghost drawing talisman as she spoke, "Xianghe, who cares about eating tea in our courtyard?" ”
"We use the small kitchen of my wife, which is now managed by Mrs. Feng, and the tea is watched by a little girl named San'er." Xianghe replied, paused and added, "The medicinal herbs and porridge you drank before were all watched by San'er, but Mrs. Feng didn't let San'er into the small kitchen at night." ”
Lin Yuan bowed her head, it seemed that she was a proper maid, and couldn't help asking, "Now she is outside the door." ”
Xianghe nodded, "There are still four and five children." ”
Lin Yuan was stunned and smiled dumbly, "Why are they all such names?" ”
"It is said that they entered our house from the same tooth woman, and there are the eldest son, the second son, and the sixth son, but the three of them stayed in the house and became rough maids in our courtyard, and neither Mrs. nor you gave them names at that time." Xianghe also laughed.
"The three maids standing at the door now are just the three of them?"
"Well, the three of them were bought by the wife from outside when the young lady moved out to live, and the other people in our courtyard are either the old people in the house or the children of the house."
"That's right." Lin Yuan suddenly realized, and then she figured it out, "Just like that Feng Pozi, these people are relying on them to have someone in the background, so they don't take me seriously?" ”
Xianghe didn't quite understand Lin Yuan's words, and nodded half-understandingly, "Mrs. Feng is a distant relative of Mama Li, because Mama Li only entered the mansion badly, when Mrs. Li was there, Mrs. Feng dared to contradict Mrs., Mrs. taught her once, she may have held a grudge, and now ......" said, Xianghe's aggrieved eyes turned red.
"Don't think about it." Lin Yuan patted Xianghe's shoulder and said with a smile, "Today, I will take advantage of the east wind to treat them all." ”
Lin Yuan smuttered two strokes, wrote Mrs. Feng's name on the paper, looked at it and asked, "What about the clothes, who cares?" ”
"The affairs in the lady's boudoir are all managed by the slaves and Xiangyue, and this dress is naturally managed by the slaves and maids."
"The clothes are also washed by the two of you?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
"No, no, no." Xianghe waved her hand again and again, "The clothes are all sent to the laundry room." ”
"Oh, that's good." Lin Yuan's face was slightly hot, and he hurriedly asked again, "Also, if you live, who is in charge of sanitation in our hospital?" ”
"Do you clean the mother-in-law?" Xianghe replied, "It's grandma, and it's also the old man in the house, but it's still a duty on weekdays, I don't know why it's like this today......"
"Oh, it's okay, I guess people are afraid of offending people." Lin Yuan said casually, and wrote the name of her grandmother on the paper as she spoke.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, "walking" is not to care, "wear" is also assured, and "eating" and "living".
Lin Yuan raised the paper in his hand, "Let's take Mrs. Feng today." ”
Xianghe and Qiao Yihuan looked at the paper in Lin Yuan's hand curiously, Lin Yuan hurriedly put the paper away, but Xianghe and Qiao Yihuan still had a rough look. Xianghe was illiterate, but the words on the paper were crooked, big and small, and she could see that they were very different from the copybooks on the table.
Qiao Yihuan is literate, but Lin Yuan can write, there are a few words in total, and there are some words that she doesn't know, the first three words "small courtyard" are not wrong, and the bottom three words "eat, wear and live", which is not wrong, is not wrong, "what mother-in-law" under the word "eat and live" is estimated to be Mrs. Feng and grandma.
"Master Lin asked you to go to class last time, you should be obedient." Qiao Yihuan raised his eyebrows and said.
Lin Yuan was depressed, and was regarded as illiterate.
"Ahem." She faked coughing twice, and then diverted the topic, "Xianghe went and called the three children, the four children, and the five children outside, and I will talk to them." ”
Xianghe couldn't help but smile and answered.
"I've seen Miss Four." The third son, the fourth son, and the fifth son entered the house and saluted.
"Sit down." Lin Yuan smiled kindly.
The three of them waved their hands in fear.
Xianghe knew that Lin Yuan really asked them to sit, so he simply relieved the siege and said, "Go outside and move three small pestles to sit." ”
For a moment, Lin Yuan looked at the three little girls with radish heads sitting in front of her in a row.
"How old are you?" She couldn't help but ask.
"The slave is eleven years old." San'er Road.
"The slave doesn't remember."
"The slave doesn't remember either."
"Eleven years old?" Lin Yuan was a little sad, San'er was shorter than her eight-year-old now. She tried to make herself smile as kindly as possible, "Will you three be willing to follow me in the future?" ”
The four sons and five sons all looked at the third son, and it was obvious that the third of the three could make up their minds.
San'er nodded, "The slaves are willing to follow the fourth miss." ”
Si'er and Wu'er also responded.
Xianghe thought for a while, and said in Lin Yuan's ear, "Miss, the old man is here, you have to ask for our deed of sale." ”
Lin Yuan looked at Xianghe in surprise.
Xianghe's face turned red, and she hurriedly explained, "When the slave maid put the medicinal materials into the warehouse just now, I heard that the affairs in our courtyard are now under the control of Aunt Rong, and the deed of sale of the slaves and maids is probably also in her hands, and it is better for Miss to hold this thing in her hands." ”
