Thank you for the sachet rewarded by "Hengduan Jiangshan", thank you!
*************
Mother Song came in and saluted and asked, "What does the second young master command?" ”
Song Chengzong said: "This Miss Nie was invited by us to help distinguish the real from the fake, please ask Mother Song to arrange for a rest in Meiyuan." ”
"It's ......." Mother Song glanced at Nie Shuyao, and her eyes were obviously contemptuous. When he saw Nie Shuyao's clear eyes staring at her, he smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the Nie girl who helped Aunt Niu find pigs, what a rare guest!" ”
"Miss Nie has a few words she wants to ask Mother Song, and I hope Mother Song knows everything." Song Chengzong said again, with a stern tone in his tone.
It's not that he didn't see the disdain in Song's mother's eyes, it seems that what his cousin said is right, these subordinates are one in front of the master, and another in the background. Thinking of her gentle little sister, I don't know if anyone feels sorry for her.
Nie Shuyao sat on the side and tasted the tea slowly, and even Nie Tianxi didn't look at Mother Song directly. They have been taught by the Nie family how to handle their servants since they were children, and they can see at a glance this kind of look that this Mother Song looks down on them!
Song Yunfei didn't have a good face for this kind of servant woman, and dared to look down on the Nie sisters and brothers he fancied, she was so bold.
And although Jiang Yi is from the rivers and lakes, he was also sent by Miss Song's mother-in-law's side, and I heard that this Mother Song will go with Miss Song. In his heart, he thought about how to let his senior brother find a reason to send him back. So he just lowered his head and drank tea, without saying a word.
Nie Shuyao does not have the concept of equality for everyone here, and has lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and some concepts of respect and inferiority still have to be kept. And she always remembered a saying she heard in her previous life, "A man pampers a servant from an early age, and this servant will eventually become his son." Therefore, a servant is a servant, and the master is the master.
I can't help but think of Miss Song again, if Song Chengzong is talking about her true character, this life may not be very good.
However, it is precisely because of this that some people will boldly pretend to be Miss Song. I'm afraid that I wanted to steal beams and change pillars before getting married to enjoy the blessings of the housewife of the Jiang family, but I was discovered somehow.
She suddenly remembered what Song Yunfei said to her on the way here, and looked up at Song's mother, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Mother Song was thinking about how to bring back the words just now, and met Nie Shuyao's eyes coldly, she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly said: "If there is anything to ask Miss Nie, just ask, the slave will definitely know everything and say everything." ”
"A good one knows everything, and there is no end to what he says." Nie Shuyao repeated and said, "Mother Song seems to be a talented girl too." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the slave maid served by the first lady when she was young, and she also studied with her for two years. It made Miss Nie smile. Mother Song smiled, and pulled the broken hair from her ear by the way.
Nie Shuyao saw that Mother Song still had some charm like this, and wanted to say something off topic to her again, but some clues were not asked, but brought out during the conversation.
"I don't know how many years Mother Song has been in Song Mansion?"
As soon as Mother Song heard that she didn't ask the eldest lady, she put down the big stone in her heart and replied: "The slave maid is the companion of the first lady, and it has been twenty years since she came to the Song Mansion. ”
Nie Shuyao immediately praised: "Mother Song is really an old man in the Song Mansion." I heard that when Mrs. Xian first got married, the Song family still lived in Lihua Town, that is, in this ancestral house, right? ”
"Isn't it, the old lady was still there at that time, and our first lady and master lived in the Orchid Garden, and the two sons and the eldest lady were born there. After the death of the lady, the old lady also went with her within a year, alas! Life was not as good then as it is now. ”
Everyone heard the two of them start a routine, although they didn't know why, they didn't interrupt the questioning, and listened without saying a word. Only Jiang Yi listened with his ears pricked up throughout the whole process.
"I heard that Mother Song is still the eldest lady's nurse, which is really amazing...... Raise grace. Nie Shuyao said again.
As soon as she heard this, Mother Song hurriedly glanced at Song Chengzong and said, "Miss Nie, don't say that, it is a blessing for a slave to be the nurse of the eldest lady." ”
Nie Shuyao showed a smile that belonged to her, clean and full of kindness, and asked, "Mother Song's husband's family?" ”
Mother Song put away her smile and said helplessly: "When Mrs. Xian was pregnant with the eldest lady, she gave the slave maid to the master's maid at that time, but the head of the family did not have that good fate, and he fell ill soon after the little girl was born. ”
"That's unfortunate." Nie Shuyao sighed.
"Yes, my little girl is the same as the head of the family, and she is gone when she is three years old. The slave maid is now alone, but fortunately, the eldest lady is pitiful, and when she got married, she took the slave and maid with her, and said that she would provide for the slave and maid. Can...... Who knew what was going on! The eldest lady really doesn't have anything to say to us. Saying that, Mother Song took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "I've heard of Miss Nie's name for a long time, so I guess the girl already knows which one is the real eldest lady, right?" ”
Nie Shuyao shook her head and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, I don't have a clue at all." ”
"Alas!" Two sighs rang out in the room.
One is Mother Song, and the other is Song Chengzong, I don't know what he remembered, so he commanded the little girl standing outside the door: "Mother Song is old, don't you give Mother Song a seat?" ”
Immediately, a little girl moved a round stool, and Song's mother thanked Song Chengzong and sat next to each other.
After Nie Shuyao learned this, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but this Song's mother's life was too miserable.
"Mei Zhi and Dong Mei go down first, presumably your young lady is also in a hurry." She said.
Song Chengzong continued: "Go ahead." ”
"Yes." The two maids left one after the other.
Nie Shuyao said again: "How long have Mei Zhi and Dong Mei been waiting for the eldest lady?" ”
Song's mother said: "These two girls are born in the family, Mei Zhi's mother works in the kitchen, and Dongmei's mother is the rough mother-in-law who manages the backyard." Their sons are all in the front yard and follow the big housekeeper to do things. ”
"Kitchen, backyard?" Nie Shuyao muttered a few words, looked at Song Chengzong and said, "I wonder if the second young master can show me the drawings of this mansion." If it's not convenient, you can show me around. ”
Song Chengzong said: "What's so difficult about this, it's just that the drawings have to be drawn, so let's take Miss Nie around in a while." It's just an ordinary three-entry house. ”
"That's great!"
She turned to Nie Tianxi and said, "Xi'er, my sister is going to live here today, you go back and feed Da Hei and Xiao Hei well, and then say hello to Aunt Niu and let them take care of the house." How about coming over and squeezing in Zhuyuan with this Song Gongzi for one night? ”
Without waiting for Nie Tianxi to answer, Song Yunfei said: "What's so difficult about this, Lengzi, I'll accompany Brother Tianxi back for a while." ”
Nie Tianxi nodded in agreement, it would be fine if he was allowed to live at home alone, but he didn't worry about his sister, it seems that his sister thinks the same way. I couldn't help but smile like a flower on my face, it's good to have a child with a sister.
Seeing that the topic of these people was not on the eldest lady, Mother Song got up and said, "I don't know if Miss Nie still has anything to ask?" The slave maid went down first to prepare a place for the girl. ”
"Oh, one last question." Nie Shuyao smiled: "I don't know if Mei Xiang woke up?" ”
"Mei ...... Mei Xiang, she, she seems to be crazy. Mother Song's face became a little ugly when she said this.
Nie Shuyao smiled, "What's the matter?" Mei Xiang was just scared, how could she go crazy? ”
