Perhaps seeing Meng Wei's doubts, He actually scratched his head and explained: "I don't like so many people to serve, except for Xiao Yuanzi's guards in our Sichuan Courtyard who have been serving by my grandfather's side since childhood, there are only Ma Steward and I serving by the side. There are a lot of people's rooms, and the maids who were arranged by the lady to serve them in the past have also been sold, so the steward will arrange the previous room for you, you are young, but you have to serve the little marquis in peace, don't think about climbing high branches like those maids before. ”

Knowing that the other party was just giving her a kind reminder, and thinking of Mrs. Hou's previous beating, presumably this mansion or this Sichuan courtyard was frightened by the maids before, so that the people who served the little Hou Ye were replaced by men.

Meng Wei nodded: "I know, thank you for reminding me." ”

"Then you clean up first, and then you will go with me to see the horse steward."

Why should the steward wait to see her?

Meng Wei was a little confused for a moment whether Steward Ma wanted to test her or if she was really just talking casually, she was a little maid, if Steward Ma wanted to see her, naturally she didn't need to wait for her to pack her things first, even if she was ordered to go to see her now.

But in this case, is it possible that the horse steward does this, does he also want to test her or wait until she goes later, and then use this to make a fuss for her?

"Xiaowei, what's wrong with you?"

"Well, it's okay, since Steward Ma has said so, then I'll clean up first."

"Okay, I'll clean up first, you can go to the front yard to find me later, and I'll take you to the horse steward."

Send away the small mirror. Meng Wei thought about it, and then put it away with peace of mind.

Although there is a lot of dust, but fortunately, Meng Wei was a quick person in the past, and she quickly cleaned up her house, she didn't dare to let the horse steward wait too long, otherwise she would think that she was putting up a shelf to let the steward wait.

To Meng Wei's surprise, I thought that Steward Ma should be lying on the small collapse and shaking his feet to let people serve now, after all, the steward or something sounded very cheating, but he didn't expect that Steward Ma was wiping the desk with a rag, and He actually stood outside the door to report: "Steward Ma, Meng Wei is here." ”

"Wait, just a moment."

The horse steward didn't raise his head, focused on the matter in hand, carefully wiped every corner of the desk, and then put the rag in his hand in the wooden basin and ordered: "Xiao He, you remove this thing." ”

"Yes."

Seeing He Jing leave with a wooden basin, Steward Ma quietly walked out of the study, carefully closed the door of the study, and glanced at Meng Wei, who was still hanging her head and not moving, and was a lot more satisfied: "There are few people in this Sichuan Courtyard, you are currently the only maid serving in this courtyard, I heard that you have only been in the house for a long time, maybe I don't know what happened before and don't blame you, but if there is something that should not be thought, then it will be sold to Hualou, which is more important, and I have to weigh it." ”

Meng Wei was stunned for a moment, as if she was frightened back by the horse steward's clever eyes for a moment, and she shook her head in a panic: "Ma steward, slave, slave and maid have never thought about it like this, the slave and maid just want to satisfy the master, and then save more money to redeem themselves, and then make a small business for the shopkeeper himself." ”

"Oh? What do you think? Don't you think it's better to go to the next level than to be a maid and only have a little money every month? ”

"Steward Ma, the slave maid has never thought of it like this," Meng Wei's face was never more serious, "Although the slave maid had to sell herself as a slave because she had no choice but to sell herself, the slave maid still remembered that her mother had said before her death that she would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine. ”

Would you rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine?

Steward Ma was stunned, he didn't expect Meng Wei to say this, although Hou Ye only has one wife, and there are not so many intrigues, but there are many people in the backyard of the old Hou Ye, because he is also fortunate to witness how dark and miserable the women in the backyard of the former Hou Ye are, but they all gradually passed away with time.

He had heard Meng Wei's words, but many people felt that glory and wealth were more important, and some people were even willing to marry people in their seventies and eighties, not to mention that the little marquis had a dignified appearance and a good identity, and there was not even a connecting room in the backyard.

With such an identity, even marrying a princess is not a high climb.

But I didn't expect the little girl in front of me to think like this.

The horse steward, who was still suspicious, looked at Meng Wei sharply, and saw that the other party was not as timid as just now, but he didn't dodge in the face of his direct gaze, his eyes were clear, and his body was calm.

After being silent for a while, Steward Ma was secretly surprised in his heart, only feeling that Meng Wei had such a demeanor at such a young age, you must know that he would tremble under his eyes, but Meng Wei did not show any timidity, let alone a little weakness.

Therefore, Steward Ma believed what Meng Wei said.

"Okay, I just want to remind you when I see you today, since you don't have that kind of thought, it's the best, Madame is most concerned about the body of the little marquis, in addition to serving the food in the future, if the little marquis doesn't have orders, you don't want to dangle in front of the little marquis."

"The slave understands."

Steward Ma waved his hand: "You go down to rest today, if the little marquis comes back from dinner, I will have someone call you." ”

When she returned to the house, Meng Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that this level was a foolish pass, but there was no shortage of eyes and ears from Mrs. Hou up and down in this mansion, and she really had to be careful.

It's one thing to please the master, but it's too much to make people think that they have other intentions and misunderstand.

However, Meng Wei relaxed slightly, but unexpectedly, a knock on the door behind her suddenly sounded, which made Meng Wei's heart rise again.

"Xiaowei, are you here?"

Hearing a slightly familiar voice, Meng Wei hurriedly got up and opened the door, but she didn't expect to be attracted by the thing in He Jing's hand at a glance.

"It's ...... Braised pork? Grunt! ”

Meng Wei's eyes glowed red, thinking that this was the braised pork made by Aunt Lin.

What to do?

She was finally able to eat a good meal of meat, and she felt so happy that her saliva was overflowing!

He Jing looked at Meng Weiqiang holding back his saliva, and stretched out his hand: "This is what the little marquis promised to reward you before, and it was specially sent by Aunt Lin." ”

Meng Wei couldn't wait to take the plate of braised pork, squinted with a smile, resisted the urge to eat it now, and asked, "Little mirror, do you want to try it?" ”

"Forget it, I've eaten too much meat these days, it's a little greasy, I'm not hungry for meat, I still have something to do, you can eat it first."

"This little mirror is still very knowledgeable about current affairs, and it seems that it can be trained well in the future."
