Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 51, Plan Ahead
Because there is no designated girl to serve for the time being, last night Mrs. Lu arranged for Mrs. Liu to live in the east wing room as an accompaniment, probably the eldest prince Mingche came back with a letter in advance, so no matter how the old lady put pressure, she still had to be thoughtful.
The charcoal basin baked the room warm, and the immortal **** slept quite peacefully. She likes it very much, a relatively independent residence, although it is not big but comfortable and neat, the salary is not much enough for her expenses, three meals a day with hot soup and hot meals, and the rough chores do not need to be done by herself, except for Xiao Jinshu, she does not have to worry too much. And the shelf bed is far more comfortable and clean than the ondol, putting down the curtain is an independent world, there are shelves at the head of the bed to put books and lampstands, make a cup of hot tea, and it is better to read at night or do needlework quietly by yourself.
Changsheng felt that this was the best life she could get at the moment, she never felt that she should live a life of being a superior person because she was a time-traveler, but she should be able to live comfortably.
Lying on the hot bed, she quickly sorted out her thoughts and made a preliminary plan for her future life, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the first thing she wants to do is to figure out the four people she wants to focus on in the Xie family.
Although the eldest lady of the Xie family, Jinshu, is the direct purpose of her trip, and she has autistic tendencies, she will not harm others after all, Changsheng feels that as long as she truly loves her and tries to make her accept herself, others can't make a fuss about it.
The old lady in charge of the Xie Mansion, her hostility towards herself is nothing more than anger. Although she can embarrass herself and embarrass herself, she is directly employed by Xie Mingche, as long as she is careful not to make a big mistake, she can't find an excuse to drive away, not to mention that the big family is sent to the whole New Year from the close of the New Year to the whole New Year, and she pays great attention to peace and smoothness, so she will not do anything to herself during this time, and wait until the New Year comes out to find another way according to the situation. Thinking about her identity, if it weren't for arguing with the concubine, she wouldn't have disdained to worry about herself.
Xie Mingjing, the third son he is most familiar with in the Xie family, although he is a little willful and eccentric, he is good, the two of them get along well all the way, plus there is the eldest brother Mingche's entrustment, if there is really something, I believe he will not stand idly by. It's just how the two get along, but this degree must be grasped well.
Then there is Granny Lu, who has the same identity and responsibilities as herself, both of whom are directly hired by Xie Mingche to take care of her daughter, one takes care of food and clothing, and the other educates knowledge and rules. Changsheng intuitively felt that although she was a domestic slave, it was the key to whether she could gain a foothold in Xie Mansion in the future. If Granny Lu has no selfish thoughts and loves Xiao Jinshu wholeheartedly, she will naturally let down her guard and prejudices and work together with herself to take care of Jinshu. For this person, you must first understand and observe clearly.
As for the others, Mo'er naturally has more contact when he has the opportunity, if there is something to find Mingjing, it is more convenient to go through him, people like Mrs. Liu and Qingmiao can use Xiao En Xiaohui to buy and use, but Xie Mingche's concubines are not deep and shallow, and they are not far away, so they can only act at the opportunity. As for the second room of the Xie family, the concubine is the eldest and the sister-in-law is secondary, and the brothers have an awkward relationship, so they stay away from them.
After pondering it carefully, Changsheng had a bottom in his heart, he was at peace for the time being, so let's slowly gain a firm foothold first.
What I have to do today is to distribute the pile of gifts brought back by Aunt Bai to everyone, and then see if I can see Xiao Jinshu as soon as possible to find out what her situation is.
Look at the time when he first arrived, today is the morning of the first day of entering the mansion, and there must be a lot of people staring at him, and Changsheng got up for fear of being rude.
She was afraid that she would have **** copies if she was not properly dressed, in addition to the clothes on the day of the application, she also bought a few sets of clothes in Jinyang that looked simple and generous, but the clothes were well made, and no matter how she wore them, she would not damage her identity as an aunt.
In the mirror, she suddenly understood the good intentions of Mingche sending the housekeeper to give her five taels of silver to add makeup. He probably understood that his mother-in-law would never treat the nurturing aunt he hired for her daughter, and she was afraid that her shabby clothes would make people look down on her face after entering the mansion, so she had this move, but in fact, the Xie Mansion may not have such rules.
Although his purpose was to make himself treat Xiao Jinshu more wholeheartedly, to put it bluntly, he was just taking advantage of it, Changsheng was still very moved, and he had a better impression of this mature and affectionate and eye-catching man, a dignified general, who actually loved his daughter to such an extent.
Guessing for a while, just about to find water to wash, Mrs. Liu heard the sound and knocked softly on the door: "The girl is up?" ”
Changsheng hurriedly opened the door, and Mrs. Liu stood at the door with a smile on her face, holding a steaming copper kettle in her hand, which should be hot water for washing. Although she was designated by Granny Lu to serve her temporarily, if she got up early to deliver hot water, she was uneasy, so she quickly took it and thanked her. Thinking that it is better to build an iron rack and put it on the charcoal basin like at home, and the copper kettle is placed on it, and there is hot water to take at any time, this is the method that she can't bear to think of when her mother and sister-in-law get up before dawn to boil hot water.
After washing, Changsheng roughly described the appearance of the iron shelf, and gave Mrs. Liu a purse of half taels of silver, asked her to find a blacksmith shop to make one, and asked her to buy a lock to lock the wardrobe, which only cost three hundred copper coins at most, and the extra was the errand fee.
Mrs. Liu happily agreed, praised Changsheng a few words, and said that she would send breakfast later and go out.
Changsheng still pulled his own round bun, smeared some jasmine oil, his hair was squeezed in a mess, he didn't wear anything except a few simple silver jewelry, plus the clothes were simple and simple, and the fat powder was not applied, and the whole person was a little stereotyped in the dignified, and even made people ignore her beauty, this is the image she wants, dull and boring, old-fashioned, so as not to be said to have ulterior motives.
For breakfast, there are two side dishes and porridge and xiaolongbao, the vegetables are sour bamboo shoots and fried chicken, and the vegetarian dishes are actually green ginger spinach, which is much better than the coarse grain pickles at home, but there is no goat milk and soy milk.
The start of the day was good, Changsheng was in a relaxed mood, after eating, he carefully looked at Aunt Bai's gift list, she was very good at doing things, the masters in the house, including the aunt who was half master and half slave, were not left behind, although they were all worthless little toys, but many people were not to blame, everyone would read her benefits.
There is actually a grandmother Lu on the gift list, although her gift is not the most expensive, but it is prepared with heart, in addition to Jinyang specialties and supplements, it also includes hand-made socks to wipe the forehead and warm the sleeves, far better than the gift to the old lady. Changsheng couldn't help muttering in his heart, is it the status of Granny Lu that is worthy of Bai Mei's stuttering, or is there any special relationship between the two?
Other people's gifts are easy to say, just send them in person, and I am new to the city, so I just get familiar with the environment by this reason. But the old lady, is it appropriate for her to send it?
Just thinking about it, Mrs. Liu opened the curtain and came in: "Granny Lu has come to see the girl!" ”
