Chapter 3 Resettlement
The Zhao family, who listened to the red willow and the green peach, was now calmer than Fang Cai, and was busy helping to come up with ideas next to him, coaxing the Zhao family to be happy.
Yanran followed Mrs. Zeng back to the upper room, Mrs. Zeng's big maid Ziling had already taken someone out to greet her, seeing that Yanran was coming with her, and she was dressed like this, her eyes couldn't help but be a little surprised, and she stepped forward to help Mrs. Zeng and smiled: "Didn't the old lady just say that she wanted to go to Mrs. Zeng's side, and didn't want our people to follow, why did you come back and bring Sister Yanran back at this time?" ”
"I, I'm thinking that you're not too young, and you're seventeen this year, and I happened to see Yan Ran, thinking about it, I just brought Yan Ran to me, and when Ming'er married you, let Yan Ran fill in the blank!" Mrs. Zeng smiled and joked with Ziling, Ziling smiled even more cheerfully, lifted the curtain with one hand and helped Mrs. Zeng in: "Old lady, why are you so bent?" Directly said, I'm clumsy, you have endured me for so many years, I can't bear it anymore, seeing that Sister Yanran is smart and well-behaved, I know that one answer is ten! ”
Mrs. Zeng sat down, and another maid had already handed over the tea, and beat Mrs. Zeng's legs with a beauty fist, and said with a smile: "The old lady who lost only brought one sister Yanran today, and didn't bring two more!" ”
The people in the room suddenly laughed, Mrs. Zeng couldn't hold the tea bowl in her hand that was already laughing, Yan Ran stood there, and she didn't know what she should do, she wanted to go forward to pick up the tea bowl but was afraid that Ziling would be displeased, seeing that Ziling took the tea bowl in Mrs. Zeng's hand, Yan Ran hurriedly stepped forward and took the tea bowl and put it aside.
Although Mrs. Zeng was smiling, she didn't leave Yanran's place, and seeing that Yanran's movements were light, she smiled and said to Ziling: "That's it, I won't joke with you anymore, isn't Qian'er Xi'er sick?" Her mother came to me and wanted to go out, and I thought that there were many people around me, so I was allowed. Now that Yanran has come in, she will make up Xi'er's nest, and the two of you should also mention more! ”
Xi'er is a second-class maid next to Mrs. Zeng, although she is only second-class, she is not young this year, she is one year older than Ziling, her mother saw that she couldn't earn it anymore, so she simply took advantage of Xi'er's illness and begged Mrs. Zeng to let her daughter out, and it was important to find a family affair.
When Ziling saw Yanran, she was thinking about Xi'er, and after listening to Mrs. Zeng's instructions, she was busy, so she took Yanran down. Qingdang's hand paused slightly, and then he smiled: "The old lady's heart is really secret, we, ten people tied together is not as thoughtful as the old lady!" ”
Mrs. Zeng only smiled faintly when she heard the compliment, and said: "There is still a while before dinner, you go and invite someone to come and fight with me for a while!" Qing Deng hurriedly handed over the beauty fist to the little maid standing on the side, and was busy arranging it himself.
Ziling took Yanran to the back of the upper room, where a row of small houses was lived by the maids who served Mrs. Zeng, and the big maids were all one person in one room, Ziling smiled at Yanran and said: "Since the old lady said that you make up Xi'er's nest, then you live in Xi'er's original house, wronged you, and want to live with others!" ”
"I also know the rules in this house, how dare I call it wronged!" Yanran's words made Ziling smile, and then pushed open the door: "No wonder the old lady values you, this is it." Living with you is Xiaohuan, this girl is afraid that she will also serve in front! ”
Yanran walked into the house, the cottage was very neat, but compared to the boudoir of the Zheng family, it could only be regarded as narrow, small and not exquisite. Yanran looked around and saw Ziling pulling out a box from under the bunk, and was about to take out the quilt from the box, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "Sister, let me come." ”
Ziling was not polite, helping Yanran lay out the quilt, and sighed when she saw that Yanran's movements were a little jerky: "Hey, if you want to be at home, you are also served by thousands of pets, where did you do these jobs?" ”
"My sister laughed, and then I got the master's blue eyes, after all, I am also a descendant of this Hou Mansion!" Yanran almost burst into tears when Ziling said this, and hurriedly held back a shallow smile at Ziling.
"You're a rare one, since you've just come in today, just rest first, and then go up to serve tomorrow. You also know that although you can enter the house, you are not a personal servant! Yan Ran nodded hurriedly, thanked Ziling again, and Ziling patted Yanran's hand and left the room to go forward.
Yan Ran's heart that had been hanging was finally put down at this time, and she looked around the house, she wanted to live here for several years, what her grandfather said made sense, serve honestly, don't compete with others, and keep yourself safe first.
"Yanran, Yanran!" Yanran, who was still in a daze, heard someone calling her outside, hurriedly walked out of the house, and saw someone hurriedly calling Sister-in-law Wu: "Aunt Wu, I haven't seen her for a long time!" ”
Aunt Wu is Aunt Wu's aunt, although the second master Zeng is an official outside, the Wu family is also somewhat decent in this house, but the difference between master and slave is still there, although Aunt Wu's in-laws were released by Kai Grace, Aunt Wu and her family are still serving on Mrs. Zeng's side.
"The old lady just instructed, saying that there is a new maid, let me send some things, I am still thinking, the old lady never cares about this, and when I came out to ask carefully, I knew that it was you, which scared me, and hurriedly came to see you!" Saying that, Aunt Wu handed over a burden: "These are guys who comb their hair and wash their faces, don't worry, I heard that it's you, and the ones you pick are all good." ”
Saying that, Aunt Wu lowered her voice and leaned into Yan Ran's ear: "Ziling, that's what they use!" ”
Yanran hurriedly thanked Aunt Wu again, and Aunt Wu patted her hand: "What is the friendship between our two families?" It's been thirty or forty years of friendship. Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, in this courtyard, no one dares to bully you! ”
Yanran thanked her again, and Aunt Wu hurriedly left after a few more words. Yanran was about to enter the house with her baggage, but the door of a room suddenly opened from the inside. This made Yan Ran, who originally thought that there was no one in this courtyard, startled, and subconsciously hugged the burden, and a maid who was about the same age as Yan Ran came out of the house, looked at Yan Ran and said, "You are the new here?" This is just a second-class person, and even that old Wu is not dead and is in a hurry to please you! ”
Yanran could feel the jealousy and dissatisfaction in the girl's words, and then looked at the room, Ziling said that those rooms were lived in by the little maids, and they were all shops. This maid must just be in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and Yanran didn't want to conflict with people when she first came, so she smiled and said: "What is this sister's name, I am indeed a newcomer, Aunt Wu sent me something, and it was also ordered by the old lady!" ”
The sour taste on the little girl's face became heavier, and her eyes looked at Yan Ran carefully, and when she was about to speak, the door of a room next to her opened, and a little girl came out, yawning and said to the little maid in front: "Guo'er, I couldn't close my eyes all night last night, and it's easy to make up for it for a while, what are you still arguing about here?" If you want to earn it, you have to see if the old lady is willing to do it! ”
"Phew, I'm not like you licking people's buttocks, you coax Ziling and them all day long, what is the result, your sister is not second-class, she still goes to serve Aunt Wu." Guo'er gave the one who came out behind her a roll of the eyes, and her tone was even more dissatisfied.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where am I coaxing? The tone that came out from the back was also very dissatisfied, and when he saw Yanran at a loss, he hurriedly said: "Sister Yanran, my name is Hua'er, and like Guo'er, I am the little maid who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping." My sister and I bought it from outside, and I had seen you before. ”
Since the flowers showed goodwill, Yanran also said: "It turns out that you have seen me, I have just entered here, but I have to rely on you!" ”
"Don't you think she's a good person? Didn't you come in with your mother to kowtow to the old lady during the Chinese New Year, and she said at that time, they are all subordinates, why can you live so well! Guo'er saw Hua'er and Yanran talking, and hurriedly unveiled the bottom of the flower next to her.
"You little hoof, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Hua'er was a little annoyed, and Guo'er heard a gentle voice before she could say more: "Hua'er, what are you annoying about?" ”
"Sister, I'm talking to the new sister Yanran here, and Guo'er will only ......"
Yanran, who was about to enter the house, saw Hua'er mention herself, so she had to nod to the girl who walked in: "Hello sister, I just came in to serve the old lady!" ”
"I know you, you are the granddaughter of Old Steward Zheng!" Hua'er's sister smiled and stuffed a small paper bag in her hand to her sister first: "I served Aunt Wu to come over and fight cards with the old lady, take the time to come and see you, I saw you shouting like this, you can't do such a thing in the future!" ”
The flower took the paper bag and wrinkled her nose at the fruit. Guo'er snorted and said to Yanran: "Don't treat these two sisters as good people!" With that, he re-entered the house and slammed the door shut.
"We entered the house with Guo'er, and Guo'er's temper is like this. Sister Yanran, don't go to your heart! Hua'er's sister's name is Xiaochan, and she said helplessly to Yanran.
"Thank you, sister, my sister wants to come and talk to Sister Hua'er, so I won't bother!" After Yan Ran finished speaking, he entered his house.
"Sister!" Hua'er pulled Xiaochan's sleeve and called out a little anxiously.
"You're always so frizzy!" Xiaochan took her sister's hand and entered the house: "There are some things, I can't be in a hurry, and it won't be bad to persuade Aunt Wu again!" ”
"How can serving Aunt Wu be decent to serve the old lady? It's so easy to get out of the nest, but who knows there's another one! Hua'er opened the paper bag, took out the sugar inside, took a bite and said vaguely.
