Wang Jingshu, who had lunch, was sleepy, walked around the mansion all morning, and didn't sleep last night, and now this warm sun is suitable for a nap. But Caiyu still has a lot of things to tell, but she stopped her, "These things will be mentioned later, I am sleepy and want to rest for a while." ”

"It's the maid's inconsiderate thinking, the master must be tired from trekking through mountains and rivers, then you can rest for a while, and when you recuperate, the maid will return to the mansion affairs to you."

Wang Jingshu couldn't open her eyes and looked at the stack of documents in Caiyu's hand, and suddenly lost her spirit, "There are so many documents, what are they?" ”

"It's all the affairs of the house, including your treasury list, the palace bill, and the roster of the maids. The steward of the Zhuangzi shop in Kyoto also sent a servant to deliver a piece of silver, which you need to see. In addition, your dowry list says that there are two hot spring villages and several shops in Pingzhou, and you need to call the shots. ”

Wang Jingshu felt a headache when she heard it, she was never good at taking care of these mansion chores, although she had also learned, but now without the assistance of Mama Huifen, she felt that she had no clue at all, "Let it go first, I'll see it later." ”

"Yes."

Wang Jingshu went straight back to the inner room, followed by Caiyu, and asked the maids to come in to serve, and the first of the maids had already been replaced by Pin Sakura, perhaps the princess gave the name, and all the little maids thought that Pin Sakura had been reused by the princess, so they put her first everywhere.

Pin Ying took off the princess's clothes with her own hands, and put on a new bedgown, but her flattering expression was also a little restrained, "Master, this bedrobe is newly made by the tailor, and the maid looks at the material well." ”

But Wang Jingshu said: "I'm used to wearing old ones, and I don't like the people who serve me to make decisions about replacing them with new ones." Immediately refuted Pin Sakura's face, and added a sentence, "If you make your own decisions in this kind of thing, then you will also make your own decisions in other things in the future...... That's what I don't allow. I want loyalty, not self-determination. ”

Worn... Take matters into your own hands...... After all, Pin Sakura was frightened when she was young, and she was also smart enough to know that she was talking about herself, which was warning herself. took two steps back, bent over, with a respectful attitude and tactful words, "It's the maid who is abrupt, the maid sees the princess for the first time, and I don't know that the princess is used to thinking only about what you will like, so I didn't ask you for instructions." ”

Wang Jingshu no longer made mistakes when she heard this, but only instructed again, "In the future, you can ask for instructions on jade picking for such a trivial matter." Qingyi is a first-class maid in the main courtyard, so she can restore the name of her family, and now her name is Caiyu, don't make a mistake. ”

The maids in the house said yes one by one.

Immediately, another little maid asked the princess to take off her headdress and comb her hair, and then clean her face. Obviously, she can do the work in one go, but the little maid frequently makes mistakes, and only then did she see that Pin Ying was reprimanded by the princess, how could she dare to approach the princess again if she was timid...... Hands tremble terribly. The more you don't want it to shake, the more it keeps shaking.

For a moment, only a 'bang' could be heard in the whole silent room, and the entire basin fell to the ground, splashing on the hem of Wang Jingshu's new bedding dress, which was wet.

Caiyu was about to scold when she opened her mouth, these little maids, she had taught the rules for so many days, but she still couldn't do well when she came to serve the princess. But he saw the maid suddenly kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Now she didn't want to get angry, and she only looked down on her master's expression.

Wang Jingshu saw the frightened look of the maid, and remembered that she had knocked over the basin for the first time when she cleaned her father's face...... Suddenly laughed. Personally helped the maid, "What, I'm a tiger?" Will it eat you? Why are you so afraid of me? ”

The maid shook her head with a drooping head.

"In this case, he raised his head and asked this princess to see if she was a beauty?" Wang Jingshu's pleasant appearance suddenly eased the tense atmosphere in the room a lot.

The maid immediately looked up at the princess. She smiled when she saw it, "She's really a good-looking girl, very delicate." How old is it? Where do you live? ”

"The maid is eleven years old this year, and her home is in the Songcheng Mountain Pass."

Eleven years old......

So small......

Wang Jingshu glanced at Caiyu, and Caiyu immediately understood, but she remembered that when this maid bought it, she said that she was thirteen years old, but she just looked at her petite body. She stepped forward, "I remember when you entered the mansion and said you were thirteen years old, why are you eleven now?" Are you deceiving me? ”

"That's what my parents meant, tell the maid to be older, otherwise you won't buy me, Sister Caiyu." The maid looked at Wang Jingshu cautiously again, "Princess Niangniang, master, I really didn't mean to deceive." There are many brothers and sisters in the family, I am the eldest in the family, my parents can't afford to support me anymore, I... I need ...... If, if I am not here, then I will also be sold elsewhere, please keep the princess master, and the servant will work hard. Although he is young, he may have done a lot of work. Please ...... master"

Wang Jingshu can't see such a scene, it must be a helpless move for parents to sell their daughter, it turns out that Pingzhou is not rich everywhere, "You stay first." Serve in the main courtyard and take the name of the show. You're very good-looking, little jasper. ”

Pinxiu knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to his master, "Thank you princess, thank you princess." ”

Wang Jingshu motioned to Pin Ying to take her down to change her clothes and change into a clean one. When they left, she asked Caiyu, "Are these maids bought in Pingzhou?" Are they all from Pingzhou? ”

Caiyu knew that the princess and princess would not be willing to call the people of their fiefdom, so most of them came from elsewhere, "No, only one or two are from Pingzhou, in addition to Pinxiu, there is also a little maid whose parents died and was sold by her uncle, I didn't want to accept it, but seeing that uncle didn't beat or scold at all, he didn't take his niece as a person, so I took her pitiful, thinking that as long as she didn't do anything wrong, she wouldn't be beaten and scolded." The other maids and servants came from elsewhere. ”

Wang Jingshu is no longer sleepy now, "Where is that little girl?" She was referring to the maid in Pingzhou.

Caiyu pointed to the little maid standing behind the chaise longue's couch, "You, come up and show the princess." ”

"See the princess!"

She crouched on the ground, faintly revealing the wound on her wrist. Wang Jingshu gave a hand, "Get up, is there a new injury or an old injury on your wrist?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she immediately covered it with her sleeve, "Master, don't look at it." It was all accidentally injured by the servant herself. ”

Caiyu couldn't be angry, she had seen the unscrupulous uncle beat this poor man with her own eyes, and when she saw that the princess intended to mention this matter, she inevitably hugged her grievances, went around to her, and lifted her sleeves, "Master, didn't you see how her uncle beat her......

"I've asked Lang Zhong to see these wounds, but the scars haven't faded yet. What I saw with my own eyes that day was that she would be severely beaten if she was not careful. She was only thirteen years old, and she was covered in wounds. I really couldn't see it, and she was willing to get rid of that ruthless uncle, so I bought her. ”

Speaking of those things, the little maid felt uncomfortable and teary-eyed.

Wang Jingshu looked at the old injury on the arm, and really couldn't bear it, "Tell Lang Zhong to heal it well, and you won't have to be afraid in the palace in the future." "Add a sentence, "In the future, I will also work in the main courtyard, called Pinxi." Nozomi of hope! "I hope she will never have more pain in her life.

For the little maid, it doesn't matter what it's called, the important thing is to be able to stay with the princess. Of course, Pinxi was very happy to be able to stay in the main courtyard to do things, "Thank you princess, thank you princess." ”

Wang Jingshu was thanked by the maids, and she had a feeling of doing something good, and suddenly became happy. Immediately, Cai Yu took the old bedclothes, "Master, this new bedrobe is wet and can't be worn, can you change this old one?" ”

She responded, and Cai Yu signaled to Pin Xi to change his master's bedclothes, Pin Xi had already learned these for too long under the fence, don't look at her age, but she is a veteran. In less than a quarter of an hour, the old bedding clothes were changed.

"Pin Xi will follow you in the future. Pinxiu followed Youxiao, in the future, you will take care of the affairs in our house and those outside, and you will be in charge of the treasury and the maids, as for Qingyun, she will be in charge of the small kitchen and the ushering in this house. Wang Jingshu assigned their respective jobs.

Caiyu has served her for so many years, she has long been familiar with her habits, managing things in the house is the best, and she is stable and steady, and she has a good temperament, she is the most trusted person in Pingzhou, she entrusts herself with important tasks, and wants to leave everything to her to take care of, but after all, it is unrealistic, and the three maids must do things separately. I also know that it was the female history who told her to be in charge of the family, and the maid must have a hand, and letting her take care of the treasury is also a sign of trust in her. As for Qingyun, he is in charge of the small kitchen, which involves the food that comes in from the mouth, which is another kind of trust.

Presumably, such an arrangement should serve as a check and balance.

You can't take care of the warehouse without a storehouse, and you can't take care of it without a key in the house...... Everything is the best arrangement, checks and balances each other, and naturally plays the role of mutual supervision.

Caiyu agreed, and Pinxi happily called Caiyu her sister, and asked her sister to teach more. For a while, the other maids also looked at the hot eyes, and wanted to take the lead in front of the princess so that they could stay in the main courtyard.

But Wang Jingshu cleared everyone, "You all retreat, I want to rest, and call me in the evening." ”

"Yes."

Cai Yu was about to lead the maids away, and heard Wang Jingshu say, "Cai Yu, remember to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone later." ”

Cai Yu immediately understood, and agreed with his mouth. The princess is about to write a letter to the prince...... Just like Youxiao said in private, sometimes the princess is too inactive, so she misses the opportunity to be in harmony with the prince.

With the squeak of the door, Wang Jingshu lay down on the bed, this Babu bed was her dowry, all the dowry except for the Zhuangzi shop that could not be moved was in the main courtyard of this Ning Wangfu. But this bed ...... How many times has he slept with it?

When she first came to live in an unfamiliar place, Wang Jingshu not only had a good expectation for her future life, but also a faint sour and anxiety hidden deep in her heart. It seems that when she arrives at this place, she misses him even more in her heart.
