Chapter 14: Acceptance (I)
Look at this side again, Cang Suniang chose four third-class girls, named Mei Xinlan Xin, Zhu Xin Ju Xin, and put them next to her first. There is also a mother and daughter, put into the kitchen to help. Four more small servants were chosen, Ma 3, Ma 4, Ma 5, and Ma 6. Dial to the outer courtyard to clean and entertain guests.
Today's sunshine is very good, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the female household has been established, and the ceremony has to be full.
Although Cang Suniang was born in a merchant family, her ancestors were officials, and she still has a background. For example, since I was a child, I invited a special etiquette master to teach etiquette. Therefore, Cang Suniang also attaches great importance to rules in many aspects, and naturally understands the truth that there are no rules and the house is restless.
"Mama Zhao, pass the order: the house will be renamed Cangfu, and in the future, I will be called Mrs. and Ping'er will be called Miss." Cang Su Niang estimated her dowry, and it was still possible to support Cangfu.
"Yes, ma'am." Mama Zhao hung her head and hid the sigh in her eyes.
"Mama Zhao, Uncle Zhao is coming back soon, right?" Cang Suniang carefully looked at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
"Miss, no, madam, Uncle Zhao wrote that it would be here today. Look at the time-" Before Mama Zhao finished speaking, she heard news from the outer courtyard, and Uncle Zhao asked to see her.
"Come in, please." Cang Suniang saw the smile on Mama Zhao's face that couldn't be hidden, thinking of the companionship of the two of them for many years, she couldn't help but quip: "Mama Zhao hasn't seen Uncle Zhao for a long time, and next time I won't dare to assign Uncle Zhao a task to go far away." ”
Mama Zhao was shy in her heart. But when I'm older, I can say two words when I am said, and the most rare thing is to see the smile on my wife's face again. I sighed in my heart, I was right to leave that place.
Before Mama Zhao could reply, Uncle Zhao came into the courtyard.
Uncle Zhao is a middle-aged man who is not tall, chubby, and very kind.
I saw that Uncle Zhao first asked Cang Suniang for peace, and then glanced at Mama Zhao quickly, and then reported the situation of the shops in other places to Cang Suniang.
Cang Suniang saw the old couple interacting, and her heart was touched. But quickly packed up his mood and continued to listen to Uncle Zhao's report.
Most of the shops are in their own hands, and a small part of the losses are put into the Gu family, and Cang Suniang also knows it. After hearing that Uncle Zhao replaced the shopkeepers of those companies with serious losses, he nodded secretly.
"There are a few more small guys selected in the house, you can watch and manage it." Cang Su Niang instructed more.
Mama Zhao is Cang Suniang's dowry mother, and Zhao Bo is also an old man in Cangfu, and Cang Suniang has a friendship with them.
"Zhao Zhong is fifteen. Let him learn more from you, and you will have to count on him to take care of things in the future. Cang Suniang sighed and said. When he was in the Gu Mansion, he was cautious and didn't dare to let Zhao Zhong, a hairy boy, participate in those things. Now it's time for him to intervene in the shop to learn.
Uncle Zhao and Mama Zhao thanked him again and again: "That kid is reckless, tomorrow the old slave will bring him to thank him, thank Mrs. for her grace." ”
"Madam, the old slave has received a message. The Gu Mansion is going to pick up the young lady to celebrate the Spring Festival. In order to show her kindness, Mrs. Gu was a little moved. As soon as Uncle Zhao entered the house, he learned about what had happened recently, and quietly changed his words. When talking about the Gu family, Uncle Zhao was a little hesitant unusually so.
"You're trying to pinch me." Cang Suniang gritted her teeth, "Ping'er resolutely can't go back." ”
"Madam, be careful." Mama Zhao stopped Cang Suniang's words.
Cang Suniang settled down. "I have my own decision on this matter, so bring the account book."
In the afternoon, in the mountains, which were quite far away from the border city, seeing that the time for the appointment had arrived, and he had not yet returned, Jiang Chenyi became more and more anxious.
"What are you doing, I still have to take Sister Qingping out to play, how can I get out like this?" Jiang Chenyi felt deceived.
Early in the morning, he agreed to go out of the city gate with Cang Linhan to suppress the bandits. Although he doubted the motive of going during the day, curiosity overcame doubt, and he followed.
Who knows, it's not about bandits at all, it's about negotiating. In order to borrow the way of the Chitoku Valley, the two went straight into the bandits' den. At the end of the negotiations, he encountered the infighting of the bandits' den, and during the fight, Jiang Chenyi was really almost cut down. It was done, but the win was miserable. It can be seen from the dusty faces of the two of them.
Seeing that it was already halfway through the afternoon, the two refused to stay with the black bear, the big boss of the Qianci Valley, and hurried back to the city in time.
"It's like going out at night, Sikong, aren't you still alive now." Cang Lin replied lazily. Ignoring the messy hair and wrinkled clothes, he still looks like a good son.
"Hmph." Jiang Chenyi really dared to be angry. Whoever makes himself young can't beat this guy, and he can't calculate this guy.
Cang Linhan patted Jiang Chenyi's shoulder and motioned for him to leave quickly. secretly said in his heart, "It is worthy of being the son of my junior sister, and I was not frightened when I saw the scene for the first time." ”
