In the messy kitchen, Chen Ying'er has mountains of coarse porcelain bowls in front of her, she sits on a small bench to wash dishes, although the weather is not warm, she wipes the sweat on her forehead from time to time. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) The male woman moved the big basket of vegetables, panting, and she used the soul of a woman to write the masculinity that originally belonged to a man.
"Ying'er, you won't mind if I call it that, right?"
The male woman talks while working, and her voice is still urn-like; Chen Ying'er raised her head and smiled, her thoughts were very simple, others were good to her, she was also good to others, others were not good to her, and she didn't dare to resist.
"Hearing in the kitchen is beautiful, you can eat it and use it, you can kill multiple birds with one stone."
"Use?" Chen Ying'er was puzzled.
The male woman was very bold, she grabbed a cucumber and played with it twice, Chen Ying'er's face turned red instantly, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Everyone is a woman, and besides, your sons have reached the age of marriage, what is there to be ashamed of? But your son is really handsome, and if I had half of him, I wouldn't be unable to get married," the woman continued with a big grin, "What's the matter with you? A woman like you doesn't have to worry about not having a man, right? What about the child's father? ”
Chen Ying'er's flushed face gradually turned white, and she pursed her lips tightly without speaking.
"Look at my mouth, it's nonsense, don't you mind Ying'er."
Chen Yinger shook her head and said she wouldn't mind, but she tried to change the topic.
"Why are these dishes so bad you moved in?"
"Our kitchen is mainly for the housekeepers and servants in the outer courtyard to eat, and at this time, it is much better than the farmer's house to eat vegetables, not to mention that every meal has to be eaten by grabbing food, who cares about this? There is no skill in cooking, and he can cook if he can feed pigs, so he doesn't care if he is salty or light. The woman paused, and she lowered her voice and said, "I've always wanted to tell you that you don't have to wash the dishes so cleanly, or you won't be able to finish it." ”
"If you don't wash it, they'll get sick if they eat it."
"It's not dry, it's not clean, it's not sick after eating, let alone the bowl, and sometimes the dishes are not washed."
Chen Ying'er seemed to be a little dazed, she looked at the male woman and then at the coarse porcelain bowl in front of her, and swallowed back what she wanted to say, she still washed it meticulously.
"What's going on? When has it been, the dishes haven't been washed yet! ”
A woman about forty years old came in at the door, Chen Yinger has been introduced, she is the mother-in-law of Wang Gui, the housekeeper who is responsible for purchasing in the house, the older and older in the house call her Wang Gui's family, and the young and shallow qualifications call her the sister-in-law of the Wang family, she is responsible for the kitchen affairs in the house, and the power is not small.
Wang Guijia glanced at Chen Ying'er, who was washing dishes, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, Ying'er is a relative of Steward Jia, she was not skilled in working in the kitchen on the first day, and she will not be so slow in the future." The male woman explained with a smile.
Butler Jia? Wang Guijia snorted, looking at Chen Ying'er with a somewhat intriguing gaze, "This is not a reason, what I want is the result," after a pause, she continued: "It's about to be winter, I have to pickle pickles these days, wash the dishes quickly, and then wash these radishes and mustard greens and cut them into dices, this matter must be completed today." ”
The woman came and went, and Chen Ying'er looked at the radishes and other vegetables piled up on the hill outside, and she felt a little dizzy......
Qiu Yue was wearing pajamas, wrapped in a quilt, holding a bowl of ginger soup in her hand, huddled on the bed and shivered. In front of her stood a woman about her age.
"I've already helped you take leave with the old lady, and you can recuperate in the past two days."
The woman's name is Chunhua, and she is also the maid in the old lady's room. Spring flowers and autumn moons are used as personal names, the former is vulgar and the latter is elegant, and people are like their names. The two sisters are commensurate with each other, and they are safe on the surface, but secretly they are bleeding.
The maids of the Guogong Mansion, especially the big maids, have a considerable income, a good working environment, and good treatment, but they can't work for a lifetime, under normal circumstances, they enter the house at the age of ten, and at most they can't do it until they are eighteen years old, because they have reached the age of marriage.
Qiuyue was sold to the Guogong Mansion by traffickers since she was a child, and she can't remember who her parents are, and she can't be said by her family to choose a son-in-law, so she is the same as Chunhua, a family slave, there are only two endings: first, she was adopted by the old and young masters of Jiafu, upgraded from a girl to a girl in a room, and was promoted to an aunt a little better; Second, "Lalang matching" with those little guys covered in mud and covered with the smell of horse manure in the outer courtyard is simply a catastrophe for them.
Spring Flower and Autumn Moon have served the old lady for many years, and the old lady intends to give them to the two young masters of the big house. The eldest young master is a polite and humble gentleman, the second young master is empty and domineering, and the spring flowers like the eldest young master, but the eldest young master seems to be a little interesting to Qiuyue.
Chunhua once asked Qiuyue this question on the side, and Qiuyue's answer made her feel annoyed: We are rootless people, no matter how the old lady arranges, we can only suffer silently, this is our fate. The deep helplessness in Qiuyue's words became a naked show off in Chunhua's ears: Who doesn't know that the old lady loves the eldest young master the most, as long as the eldest young master and the old lady reveal who they want, that is who they are.
Qiuyue accidentally fell into the water and was kissed and touched by a man, Chunhua was so overjoyed that she only hated that she didn't witness it at the time, if this matter was not publicized, wouldn't she be sorry for God's good intentions?
"Qiuyue, do you know who saved you?"
The maids in the house don't look at their age, they have been helping adults work since they were children, they have been in contact with many people, and they have seen a lot of things, and they have developed the ability to observe words and emotions and deal with society early. It's a little funny, is it so attractive to fill the room for the eldest young master? She thought about Chen Xu's innocent smile again, and wanted to slap him, she was not an unreasonable person, and now that she thinks about it, he "insulted" her to save her.
Chen Xu? A distant relative of Steward Jia? Akizuki pondered the name.
"Qiuyue, do you know that you are so dangerous today, I heard from those maids that the two of you almost drowned in the pond together."
"Drowned? Doesn't Chen Xu know how to swim? ”
Chunhua smiled and said, "Don't you know what happened at that time as a person concerned?" You're wrapped around someone like an octopus, and even if you know how to water, you'll have to drown, not to mention that he broke an arm at the time. ”
"Broken an arm? What's going on? Qiu Yue was vaguely impressed, and she blushed slightly when she heard the sentence "Octopus like pestering people", and she couldn't help but worry when she heard the second half of the sentence.
"It's just a dislocation, and then he took it himself, but in that case, he dared to swim over to save you, and he was indeed very courageous." Chunhua is like a matchmaker, she praises Chen Xu as much as possible, all she has to do is to move Qiuyue so that no one will compete with her for the position of the eldest young master's wife, "It is said that you were out of gas at the time, and then he somehow touched and kissed you to spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and you came back to life." ”
Qiuyue's cheeks were a little flushed, and Chunhua stopped talking at the right time, some things need to be done step by step, and it is too much.
The two of them were silent in the room for a long time, and Qiu Yue suddenly said: "Chunhua, you help me go to the outer courtyard to see him, and bring him some ginger soup by the way, if he catches the wind cold, it will be troublesome." ”
Finally, it was not in vain, Chunhua's excited heart was pounding, and there seemed to be a frightened fawn inside.
The focus of the conversation between the two had left the Guogong Mansion at the moment, Chen Xu first went to the money village to break the silver ticket and exchange it for scattered silver taels, and he bought gold sore medicine and herbs for typhoid fever at the pharmacy, and bought shochu at the liquor store by the way. Chen Xu carried these things to the outer city through Chongwen Gate.
The law of Dayan stipulates that the meritorious name above the student can be exempted from the city tax. When he went out of the city, Chen Xu thought while queuing: If you have fame, you don't need to be guided when you go out, you don't need to kowtow when you see officials, and you don't have to pay taxes when you enter the city, no wonder the people are so fanatical about fame.
In front of the queue was a rich man, the servant asked him for taxes, his eyes widened, and with a "snap", a big-eared scraper fanned over, "Open your dog's eyes and see, Lao Tzu is your uncle Liu Yanei." ”
The messenger covered his face and let him go, and he stopped Chen Xu again.
Chen Xu glared at him like a child, and with a "snap" sound, he was a big-eared scraper, "Open your dog's eyes and see, Lao Tzu is your uncle Xu's east ear." ”
Chen Xu swaggered out of the city, the messenger covered his face, looking very confused. Who is Xudong'er? Why are there so many uncles today......
