Chapter 9: Commands
Xianrui has never studied in the family studies, she used to be taught by the female gentleman at her grandmother's house, and Derui, who was yawning at the outermost, was already impatiently urging: "You three hurry up!" It's too late, Mr. hit me in the palm of my hand, you replaced! I can't hear anything, and I'm not leaving! ”
Shen Min stayed and told Mrs. Zhang about yesterday's situation.
After listening, Mrs. Zhang sighed and moved the jade rosary in her hand: "I feel very distressed about this child, a good lady, I don't know how to be raised by her grandmother is cowardly and suspicious and sensitive, this time I came back and brought a few clothes and a simple girl." "I'm afraid that all the money sent by the flowing water will be lost to my uncle's family.
"The loyalty of the subordinates is the tightest." Shen Min said softly.
"That's it, she didn't mention the previous things and I didn't ask much, you serve well, according to the practice of other girls, the girl and the grandmother have all been added, the eldest lady wants to send the tea girl Chunrou next to her, I don't want to save face, in short, you have full control over the things in the big girl's yard." Mrs. Zhang instructed carefully.
Shen Min said about changing her name, and Mrs. Zhang thought about it, "Then you can make up your mind about these things in the future." ”
Shen Min smiled embarrassedly and replied: "Where can the slave take the master's idea." ”
Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, put down the rosary in her hand, looked at the girl in front of her, and said slowly: "Shen Min, you were the big girl in front of me before today, and from today onwards you are the steward girl next to the big girl, and the whole yard is for you to handle, do you think the soft bodhisattva nature of the big girl can calm things?" ”
"You are brought up by me, although it is a girl, but it was raised with the girl, the girl has it, I dare not buy it for you on the surface, I don't dare to give it to you in secret, I think I am wholeheartedly teaching you, I raise you as my own granddaughter, this year I threw you to the warm girl to learn to take charge of the feed, I thought you knew what I meant, why, now you are still hiding it for the old woman, isn't it?"
"The slave maid naturally knows the old lady's idea, and she wants the slave and maid to take good care of the eldest girl." Shen Min replied respectfully.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Min deeply: "Sister Min, from now on, you have to make your own decisions about everything, learn to take your own ideas, take the ideas of the eldest girl, take the ideas of your yard, and learn to make decisions at critical moments for the British Mansion." ”
Shen Min nodded: "Yes, the slave remembers." ”
"I don't know you yet, you just want to ask for the right words in my mouth, you are a sophisticated, spicy ghost girl, I gave you the words, what will the big girl have in the future, I am the first to ask, understand? When the sky falls, I will support you, what you have to do is to do everything to let the eldest girl live smoothly in the mansion, say her name in the capital, and plan for her future marriage. ”
Shen Min smiled, bowed and patted his heart and promised: "Yes, old lady, don't worry, if you have your words, even if the people in the whole mansion don't like me anymore, I won't be afraid." ”
"They don't add up to my love for you." Mrs. Zhang said and pointed to the old Chen Mama beside her with anxiety, she was afraid that the people in the yard would think that Shen Min was young and making trouble, and finally said: "By the way, let your old lady go to Zhuangzi to raise her next month, she is a kind-hearted person, and I want to go with you to serve Sister Xian, I am not a black-hearted person, you go to your old lady tonight, if she doesn't want to go to Zhuangzi, I will give her a sum of money, just buy a small house outside, and you can go back often." ”
"The old lady is tormented by the slave maid, the slave maid and the old lady said, I want to serve by the old lady's side all the time, she is an idle person, the old lady treats the slave and the maid very well, if you don't let the slave and the maid wait by the side, the slave and the maid are afraid that they will not be able to let go of their hearts to serve the girl."
"I've told you how many times, don't call me a slave in private." Mrs. Zhang beckoned her to sit beside her, touched her sign and said earnestly, "Take good care of Sister Xian for me, and wait for her to find a good family to marry, I will find a good husband for you, and then buy you a thick dowry!" ”
Shen Min said softly: "The slave maid just wants to stay by the old lady's side all the time." She has been with Mrs. Zhang for as long as she can remember, so Mrs. Zhang has a very high status in her heart.
"Silly child, how long can the old woman live, you have followed me for more than ten years, and I know that the most reassuring thing for me is Sister Xian, followed by you, both of you have a good home, the old woman is watching you hold the doll, and she is satisfied."
Old Mrs. Zhang patted Shen Min's hand and whispered to her: "Remember, except for Uncle Cairo and Second Master Xie, don't let your girl have too much contact with other foreign men." ”
Shen Min was held in the arms of Mrs. Zhang, thinking of the bag of melon seeds that he had returned, his eyes dimmed, and he hummed softly for a long time.
