Chapter 2: Entering the House

As soon as the day dawned, A-Ning got up and was busy, first cleaned the yard and the floor of the house, sprinkled water in the yard, and then rubbed the tables, chairs and benches at home, and made breakfast for A-Ning and A-Niang, A-Ning stopped, A-Ning has been learning to cook with his mother since he was a child, needle-embroidery, although A-Ning is not very old, he is a smart child, and A-Ning can do these jobs that his mother has taught.

After Ah Ning was busy with this, he sat in front of the mirror and took care of his hair and clothes, and put on the new clothes he bought with Daddy in the town yesterday, Daddy bought himself a plain long dress, with a few snow-white pear blossoms embroidered on the cuffs, and a few elegant plum blossoms embroidered on the neckline, Ah Ning combed his hair into two buns, and set off Ah Ning more and more watery, Ah Ning will be fourteen years old in summer, but Ah Ning is very thin compared to girls of the same age, and plain clothes on Ah Ning's body make Ah Ning look even thinner, It seems that a gust of wind can take A-Ning away, which makes people look very pity, A-Ning's father and mother are even more reluctant to see such A-Ning, if it weren't for A-Ning's mother's poor health, A-Ning's current grade is almost at the age when it is time to talk about marriage, and he is still the only child in the family, and now he is going to the house to be a maid I don't know if he will be bullied by the main family in the house, thinking of this, A-Ning's father and mother can't help but burst into tears.

After the meal, A-Ning's mother got up from the bed, got dressed and sent A-Ning to the entrance of the village, A-Ning's mother explained to A-Ning that he should not say less when he went to the master's house, and did things neatly, especially not to talk back to the master's family, and explained a lot, until A-Ning's father Ning's father urged, A-Ning and his mother separated, and A-Ning went to the Shen family in the town with his father and signed the deed of sale with the Shen family, and the father explained the words of A-Niang before leaving. A-Ning entered this house again, still as beautiful, so elegant, and faintly imposing.

After Ah Ning entered the Shen Mansion through the side door with the Shen housekeeper who was in charge, he took Ah Ning to the maid's residence, and asked an old mother who was specifically responsible for disciplining the maid to teach Ah Ning what to pay attention to after entering the mansion, what to be responsible for, and so on. The old mother in charge is not a good person, relying on the old man to always call the newcomer around, seeing Ah Ning's beautiful appearance is very wrong to Ah Ning, as usual, he first reprimanded, and said to Ah Ning, "Coming to Shen Mansion to be a maid is a blessing for a country girl like you, don't feel that you have a bit of a posture and you don't know the height of the sky and lose your dignity." ”

A-Ning was reprimanded naturally very sad in his heart, he just left home and met this kind of very difficult character, although A-Ning is not a submissive character, A-Ning's A-Ning will never let go, and A-Ning's A-Ning will never force it, but A-Ning is not a trouble-making character, A-Ning has just arrived in the Shen Mansion now, A-Ning just wants to learn what he wants to learn, and it is important not to make mistakes when serving the master's house in the future, A-Ning had to lower his head and let the old mother in the housekeeper insult, The mother saw that A-Ning didn't make a sound, and she was honest and scolded twice, "You think I won't scold you if you don't make a sound, don't think I don't know what a little girl like you thinks in her heart, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, I have seen a lot of little girls like you, I have been in this house for so many years, specializing in treating little girls like you, do a good job, the main family is rewarded, dare to make half a mistake, I will let you not eat and walk around." ”

This Mama Li's attitude is actually for a reason, when a maid came into the house, relying on her own posture, she wanted to climb into the bed of the third young master, and took advantage of the third young master's drunkenness to become a concubine in the third young master's house, the third young master immediately woke up, and did not let the bold maid succeed, the maid was naturally sold into the land of fireworks by a board in the Shen Mansion, after all, the maid did something to seduce the lord is a crime that deserves death, the Shen family is the home of the eunuch, and it has been a very popular minister in the court for several generations, and now the lord of the Shen Mansion. Shen Xiang is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the son will also be a person who will enter the prime minister in the future, how can he let a maid get involved with the son. This also led to Mama Li's reprimand for all the good-looking maids who came to the newcomer.

A-Ning accompanied Mama Li to the maid's residence, along the way Mama Li educated A-Ning again, A-Ning didn't go to her heart and only listened to what Mama Li said about important things, Shen Xiang in the house was the prime minister of the dynasty, in addition to the main room in the house, there were originally four-room concubine rooms, now there are only three-room concubine rooms, and the Shen Mansion also has a mansion given by the emperor in the capital, but because this town is the hometown of the lord, the lord is also old, so he built such a big mansion here, in order to return to the old in the future There is a place for fallen leaves to return to their roots, Now living in this mansion are the two concubines of the old man.

The fifth lady and the old lady, as well as the eldest son and the second lady of the old man, the sixth lady born to the fifth lady of the old man live in the mansion of the capital, and now the house is inhabited by the third and fourth young masters of the old man, and the fifth young lady. The mother of the third young master, originally the second lady of the house, with a very beautiful appearance, it is said that she was the first beauty in the capital back then, but she was not blushing, after marrying the master, she passed away after giving birth to the third young master, and the master also loved the mother of the third young master very much, but Shen Xiang's wife was not an ordinary person, she was the aunt of the emperor of the dynasty. She couldn't tolerate the third young master's mother and the third young master in her eyes, so the third young master lived in this mansion since he was a child. This is not about to come to the Spring Festival family banquet, the lord and the wife are about to return to this house, and they must make a good arrangement in the house to welcome the lord and the wife.

Ah Ning walked all the way and probably figured out the current situation of the Shen Mansion, it turned out that the third young master also had so many sad pasts. But A-Ning didn't think much about it, after all, she was just a low-status maid, and it was what she should do to arrange the Spring Festival family banquet, and followed Mama Li to the maid's residence, although this is where the maid lives, but it is really worthy of the Shen Mansion, and the houses where the maid lives are much more beautiful than the village chief's house in A-Ning Village. A-Ning looked around, the carved beams, two beds, can live four people, although there are not many furnishings in the house, but it is clean and tidy, the big bluestone bricks on the ground are many times brighter than the ground at home, a maid can live in a house can reach this point, A-Ning dare not imagine that the young lady in the house and the master their room is luxurious and exquisite.

A-Ning also received three sets of maid's costumes with Mama Li, a peach-colored cardigan with a few peach blossoms embroidered on it, and a white Luo skirt that just reached the ground below, which was worn when the house held family banquets and other activities, and two pink and cyan daily clothes.

Mama Li also talked to A Ning about a lot of rules in the house, such as the third young master does not like spicy things, loves cleanliness very much, and must not be unkempt, there is a trace of untidiness in front of the third young master's eyes, and the third young master must change the bed sheets and bedding once a day. Miss Five likes to eat the hibiscus cake in the Furong Fang in the town, and every day no matter how late it is, she has to prepare it for Miss Five, so Yunyun and other things, A-Ning has all remembered them in her heart, and A-Ning has officially entered the house from today.
