Chapter 93: Misunderstanding Cleared
This way of dealing with it was not only something that Mrs. Shi did not expect, but even Song Youyu herself did not expect.
Wushuang was ashamed enough to say this in front of her, how could she let a girl who hadn't passed the door yet deal with such a thing as her future husband?!
However, Song Youyu was slightly stunned, and he didn't bother with why the old lady did this.
Anyway, no matter what it is, she has been put to the point where she has to take over this matter in person, and if she doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid that no one in the Shi family will look down on her from now on.
To handle it well, it must not lose its dignity, be neither humble nor arrogant, and be reasonable, so as to convince people.
Fortunately, she is as noble as her, there is no scene that she has never seen, and there is no scene that she dare not face, but the coming and going of a maid, what can stump her?
Song Youyu straightened his waist, took a breath gently, and a smile appeared on his face.
The rest of the people in the room were all brightened, and they only felt that Song Youyu in front of them seemed to be a different person, originally a beautiful daughter who spoke softly, but in the blink of an eye, she had more dignified and dignified dignity.
It really has the momentum of the lady of the Xinyang Hou Mansion.
"Yu'er is still a girl's family, and she shouldn't know about it, but it's a coincidence today, since the old lady has ordered it, then Yu'er will take care of it for the time being. ”
She said a few words lightly and skillfully, and it was already good. not only cleared up that he was not nosy, but also accepted the words of Mrs. Shi, and advanced and retreated in moderation, neither humble nor arrogant.
Mrs. Shi nodded with satisfaction.
The eldest lady turned her head and pursed her lips, but before she could turn her face, Song Youyu's next sentence arrived:
"But Yu'er is an outsider, and he doesn't know much about the rules of the family, so he has to consult the eldest lady, but there was a convention in the past? ”
...... Heh, of course there is.
The eldest lady's silver teeth were almost crushed, but she had been practicing in this matter for a long time, and she could only swallow her dissatisfaction into her stomach.
She has been married into the Shi family for more than 20 years now, but she only gave birth to a son.
If she can't give birth, of course the two old men of the Shi family will find a way.
There are already three maids who Shi Lao Taijun has managed to stuff into her eldest son's room, one is more pestering than the other, and Shi Fu has not entered her room for half a month.
"You're ......!"
The eldest lady still remembered her identity in the end, and she was only half-exposed in anger and replaced with a smiling face:
"You girl is shrewd, there have been such examples in the family in the past, but it was not my lord who took the initiative to ask for it. ”
"Although Yuan'er is only a second-class maid in her mother's room, even if she is a maid, if she enters the room, she can be regarded as a branch of the family, and she is half a master, and she can't be despised either. ”
"Her original monthly routine was five dollars of silver, but now if the Hou Ye wants to accept her, the monthly routine will rise to two taels of silver, and a maid and a grandmother will use it......"
Mrs. Shi said slowly, and it seemed that she was really enthusiastic about teaching Song Youyu's experience as a housekeeper, but her eyes under her lowered eyelashes were full of pride.
Song Youyu dared to poke her sad thing in person, she was going to do it for the other party to make a "good name" for her husband Jun to take a concubine before entering the door!
In fact, taking a concubine for her husband has spread outside, and others say "virtuous", but in their hearts, they will not laugh at being the wife of the main house.
It's because I don't have the ability to let my husband take a concubine.
Although Daqi has never forbade concubines, what woman can tolerate her husband's pillow and what about others?
It's a pity that her pride couldn't be maintained again, and Song Youyu's exclamation was cleverly inserted in the gap between her two sentences.
"Oops!" Song Youyu pretended to cover his mouth and whispered, "It's the fish that is not good, the fish forgot to ask clearly." ”
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and asked clearly? What is it to ask clearly?
Song Youyu blushed half of his face and covered it with a handkerchief, before he asked Wushuang "tremblingly":
"Master Hou...... Do you want to take the girl as a concubine?"
Rao is Wushuang has experienced all kinds of "fright" from Song Youyu for a long time, but it is really the first time to see her like this now.
And the question ...... Wushuang once again admired in his heart the ingenuity of his Hou Ye.
Although Hou Ye didn't count that when he came, Miss Song would be there.
But before he came, Shi Yanmo told him that he must be very vague about the matter of asking for Yuan'er, if no one asks, it is not okay for people next to him to ask, and Song Youyu must ask it himself to clarify.
How did Hou Ye know that Miss Song would ask? Wushuang was simply puzzled.
However, I wonder and summarize, and I still have to answer the words.
He arched his hand, bowed forward, and said:
"Master Hou...... There is no such intention, but there was no maid in the Hou Mansion before, only a few sprinkling and sweeping women, Hou Ye ordered to marry Miss Song in a while, it is inconvenient to let the boy serve, and there is only one girl in the Que'er, I am afraid I can't be busy.
Seeing that Yuan'er spoke eloquently today, and was close to Miss Song, he wanted to stay behind and learn the rules of the Hou Mansion, so he ordered his subordinates to ask the old lady for it. ”
Song Youyu put down the handkerchief covering his mouth and said with a smile: "Yu'er knows that Hou Ye is not such a casual person, but if he wants a maid, then Yu'er will beg the old lady to go back to the room for Hou Ye." ”
Mrs. Shi's face turned blue on the side, but she had nothing to say.
From beginning to end, Wushuang didn't say a word that Shi Yanmo wanted to accept the small, but the words "stay in the room and serve" made everyone misunderstand.
The maids present all widened their eyes, and they were greatly surprised by Wushuang's words, if it weren't for the fact that Song Youyu couldn't know Mrs. Shi's heart knot, and they saw with their own eyes that Wushuang and her didn't have time to collude, this was simply two people singing and making a special trip to anger Mrs. Shi.
When the old lady heard Song Youyu's coquettishness, the face that had been rigid before couldn't help but smile: "What a smart girl, since you spoke, then it's up to you." ”
As he spoke, his eyes also glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law, and there was undisguised mockery in his eyes.
Wushuang got a reply and hurried back to the Hou Mansion to resume his life.
In the end, Mrs. Shi did not sit until the end of the whole chat, so she left in a hurry under the pretext of going to the account room to check the accounts.
After she left, Mrs. Shi showed a look of disdain and said: "Your future sister-in-law is actually not a bad person, but her heart is a little smaller. ”
With such rights and wrongs, Song Youyu is inconvenient to mix, so she just smiled, but Mrs. Shi obviously didn't intend to let her go, and after sighing, she turned her head and looked over:
"Song girl, how did you know that she was worried about taking a concubine?"
