Xiao Mo did not personally arrange the work of those children this time, but handed over this task to the two girls in Ziling and Ziyi, who had been by Xiao Mo's side for so many days, and they already knew Xiao Mo's living habits and preferences very well.

And Er Niu became the temporary manager of the Xiao Mansion and took care of some trivial things, but Xiao Mo still had to do his own bookkeeping work, not that there was no bookkeeping in this house, but Xiao Mo felt that his Arabic numeral accounting method was much simpler and more convenient than the traditional Chinese notation at this time.

When he got to rest, when he entered the room, Xiao Mo found that his room layout seemed to have changed a lot, and there were many differences from Xiao Mo's own original design.

Xiao Mo's room is quite large, and it was originally habitually divided into three parts: living room, study, and bedroom. The bedroom is the smallest, because people in ancient times were superstitious that the bedroom was too big, and the owner of the house would be sucked out of essence when he slept, so Xiao Mo also had to follow the local customs and design his bedroom as the smallest part. The living room of the room is the largest, and there is also a desk and a few chairs, and the study is more moderate, because Xiao Mo really doesn't have any books to put at this time. Books are very expensive these days, and even more so when they are copied by hand.

It's just that Xiao Mo found that his bedroom and study had not changed at this time, but the living room was gone. The original living room is now divided into two rooms by a huge screen, the outer one is empty, and the inner one has a small bed, making it look like a bedroom.

Xiao Mo watched this scene, not to mention how confused he was, let's not talk about who arranged it, what's the point of making a small bedroom in his own room? Could it be that if you don't sleep well, you can still make room to sleep?

When Xiao Mo sighed depressedly that his good living room was ruined like this, the door of the room creaked open.

Xiao Mo habitually spoke: "Zi Ling, you go and help the young master ask who changed the layout of the young master's room and let him come over." ”

After Xiao Mo asked this, he found that the people who came in were not Zi Ling and Zi Yi, but two strange maidservants that Xiao Mo didn't know.

These two maids are similar in age to Xiao Mo, and they are taller than Ziling Ziyi, and their appearance is quite outstanding, perhaps because their bodies have grown, from a distance, these two people seem to be better than Ziling Ziyi.

Xiao Mo saw the two maidservants in front of him, and couldn't help but ask with some puzzlement, "Who let you in?" Where did you two come from? ”

Maybe it's because of Xiao Mo's nose injury, Xiao Mo's nasal voice is very heavy, and his voice is very low at this time, and people who don't know may mistakenly think that Xiao Mo is angry when they hear this tone.

This was the first time these two maids had seen Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo asked such a question, and they couldn't help but make the two of them kneel on the ground in fright, and one of the maidservants trembled and said: "Young master, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, the slaves and maids will go out, and I hope that the young master will not be punished." ”

As soon as Xiao Mo saw the maid in front of him, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground as soon as he asked, and he couldn't help but think of the first time Zi Ling and Zi Yi saw him, and the panic of the two girls at that time was no better than the two maids in front of him.

Xiao Mo thought about it like this, and suddenly realized that the two maids in front of him must have been bought by himself in the slave market before, and the supervisor did say that there were two older ones, but Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to the man's next words at that time, so he paid the money and left.

Xiao Mo saw that the two of them were still kneeling, and couldn't help but say softly: "Hurry up, what does this look like, young master, I can't see anyone who kneels at every turn." I probably know about the two of you, but why didn't Zi Ling Ziyi come, but changed to you? ”

The two maidservants listened to Xiao Mo's words, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but although they stood up, they still didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo, and one of them was a little cramped and said: "The two maidservants are arranged by the little maid to serve the young master closely, and they have to listen to the young master's dispatch at any time at night." ”

Xiao Mo felt that something was wrong when he heard this, Xiao Mo, the personal maid, could understand it, but how could he send it this night? Do you want these two girls to stand outside the house without sleeping at night?

Then Xiao Mo suddenly thought of the strange transformation of his living room, and then Xiao Mo asked a little strangely: "So, this outhouse is for the two of you?" ”

When the two maidservants heard this, one of them nodded and said, "The two maidservants will take turns sleeping in this outhouse, for the young master to send at night, and listen to any orders from the young master." ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, he said a little incredulously: "So, Xiaoya arranged for the two of you to be the girls in the room?" ”

As soon as the two maidservants heard the four words of the girl in the room, their faces turned pale all of a sudden, and one of the maidservants said in a panic: "Young master, the slaves and maids don't dare!" The young master has never married a wife, let alone a concubine, how can there be a maid in the first place, the slaves and maids are just serving the young master, and they have no such thoughts! ”

Xiao Mo saw that the two of them were so flustered, and after hearing this again, he thought about it carefully, recalled the historical knowledge in his mind, and then understood the reason.

This intercourse girl generally refers to the maid who nominally marries with the hostess to the man's house, but in fact it should generally be the maid of the concubine.

The girl who has sex and the girl who marries are two different things. The dowry girl was brought by the hostess, but whether she can become a maid or a further aunt depends on the situation.

The status of this girl is not ordinary, from the word "room", it can be seen that it is the highest status of the maid, because it is convenient to serve the master at night, so the bedroom of the girl is generally connected with the master's bedroom, and it is also like Xiao Mo's current room, which is divided into the inner room and the outer room.

The actual status of the girl in the room is lower than that of the concubine. But if you go through the formalities and have a name, the girl who has sex can be called a concubine. The status is much higher than that of ordinary girls.

Xiao Mo remembered that the raiders and peacemakers in the Dream of Red Mansions were all counted in the list of girls in the room.

And Xiao Mo did not have a family at this time, so naturally he did not say that he was a concubine, since there was no hostess in this house, there must be no room girl, even if there was a maid doing the work of a room girl, it must not be called a room girl directly.

Therefore, Xiao Mo said so abruptly that the two maids were girls in the room, which really scared the two of them, after all, she didn't know that when Xiao Mo was asking, she didn't know that there were these rules.

Xiao Mo's inquiry, in their eyes, naturally became an interrogation of the head of the family, and this kind of thing of usurpation, no matter which family it is, is an extremely serious matter. What's more, they are still slaves, and life and death are only between the words of the head of the family. Of course, I will be even more afraid of such things. (To be continued.) )
