Chapter 350 (2): Second Watch
Fleur is not only the son of the house, but her father is also a small steward. Although it's not big, it's in charge of the kitchen, and it's a house. One of the more important ones. Her father also happened to be Mao Xining's confidant, so he was placed in such an important position by her.
And this hibiscus was originally a second-class maid in Mao Xining's yard. Some time ago, I was given the gift to go home to recuperate because of illness, but there was no place to come back.
It happened that Miaomiao was picking someone here, so she was arranged.
Miaomiao didn't change the name of Fleur, she gave those little girls before, but she changed it because they didn't have a serious name, or they asked for it.
But Fleur is obviously not among them, although Miaomiao will change it for her, she will not object, but people have called it a good name for so many years, and Miaomiao doesn't want to change it.
And Fleur's name and Rose are quite compatible, Miaomiao said that she also persuaded her to speak, so she directly asked Fleur to call her by her original name.
Seeing Miaomiao talking so gently, Rose was also relieved. She was afraid that she was afraid that she would finally change an errand and meet a bad master.
At the time of the Chinese New Year, Mao Xining saw that his son Lu was resolutely old and wanted to arrange a woman for him.
Although Lu Yiran is only fourteen years old, in ancient times, he could get married, and most importantly, Lu Yiran not only looks old, but also develops his body faster than the children next to him.
However, Mao Xining has never picked a suitable daughter-in-law, and she doesn't want to settle, so Mao Xining wants to find a maid for her son.
The two big girls beside Mao Xining are both not young. Although Furong is a second-class maid, she has outstanding appearance, good work ability, and is also smart and can look at her eyes.
The most important thing is that she and her father are quite loyal, so Mao Xining chose Furong. But Mao Xining didn't decide directly, she also planned to think about it.
However, Mao Xining didn't look down on Furong yet, but Furong herself was unwilling. Fleur is good at dealing with people on weekdays, and her popularity is also very good. The big girl Baicao next to Mao Xining is good friends with Furong.
Baicao, as the big girl beside Mao Xining, still knows Mao Xining's mind very well. Baicao told Fleur about this, originally wanting to sell her to Fleur and let her behave well.
But after Furong found out, she was not as happy as Baicao imagined, she was unwilling to be a maid in the room, or she was unwilling to be a concubine.
Once, when Fleur was a child, she begged her father to take her out to play, but she saw a naked person. The naked woman, who had been thrown out of the house, still had traces of being whipped, and the woman was particularly shrunk and wrapped her arms around herself, pleading all the time.
Although Fleur's father quickly covered it, Fleur's eyes didn't let her look around.
But the scene seen at that moment was still deeply engraved in Fleur's mind, and the voice from the side was also firmly engraved in Fleur's heart.
"What a sin, why are you so bad!"
"If you want me to say that you deserve it, those who are concubines are all cheap things, and they deserve it no matter how they practice."
At that time, Furong didn't know what a concubine was, but she also kept it all in her heart. When she was more sensible and understood the meaning of the concubine, she also guessed what happened to the woman.
It's nothing more than being tortured and humiliated by the main room, and the man doesn't care, so he will treat her like that. Little Furong knew that the concubine was not easy to do, and when she grew up, she became a particularly beautiful girl.
When talking between the maids in private, everyone occasionally imagines the future scene, and many maids want to fly up the branches in their hearts. It is also human nature, who wants to be a slave who can be a master?
Fleur is very popular, and many people are also half-joking, making fun of her. said that with Furong's appearance and qualifications, he may be the one who turned over and became the master in the future.
But although Fleur did not refute it sternly, she smiled every time. But in fact, she never had this thought in her heart. Fleur just wants to be honest and be her own errand. When he was older, let his father beg his master to find a good family.
As for the person to marry, Hibiscus's requirements are also very simple. She doesn't ask how powerful and motivated the other party is. I just want to be the master of the house and be an upright wife, not someone whose net worth and life are pinched in the hands of others... Cheap concubines.
Furong's father and mother are all spoiled daughters, and they only have this one child in their lives, and the relationship between the two is not bad, and they have no other thoughts, they just want to guard their daughter.
Furong knew that the second lady had the intention of letting herself be given to the young master, and she panicked after being a maid in the room.
She immediately asked her mother for help, but Furong and Furong had different opinions. She, like most maids, feels that she can be the master, and she can be a subordinate to what she does.
She is actually very excited that her daughter can become a maid in the room. Seeing that her daughter was unwilling, Furong Niang persuaded Furong without giving up.
She said that if Fleur was really accused of being a room, she would have a better life in the future.
With her and Fleur's father in the house, Fleur's life will not be sad, and the second lady is a kind-hearted person, even if Fleur falls out of favor in the future, she will not be particularly thin on her.
And if the daughter is lucky enough to be favored, she may be raised to be an aunt. At that time, he really turned over and became the master. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, you will be happier. When his son grows up, he can be taken out by his son and raised, if his son is born, even the old feudal monarch is possible.
Furong Niang mentioned the beautiful possibilities of the future to Furong. But Fleur is still resolutely unwilling to be a concubine. Although Furong Niang regrets it, she is not the kind of person who ignores her daughter's wishes because she climbs high branches.
Seeing that her daughter was so persistent, she could only agree, and helped her come up with an idea.
The method that Furong Niang came up with, and she still listened to the rude, that is, pretending to be sick. As soon as Furong is sick, she will definitely not be able to contact her master, let alone have sex with her, and accompany Lu resolutely to sleep.
And where will Mao Xining wait for an ordinary little maid? Furong is sick, Mao Xining will soon choose another person to make a room for his son.
Sure enough, as expected by Hibiscus Grain. After Furong fell ill, Mao Xining quickly changed his candidate. In addition, he found a suitable girl for Lu Yiran and raised it into a room.
Although Furong has succeeded and avoided the fate of being a child, she is pretending to be sick after all, and it is not good to go back immediately, in case she is suspected by Mao Xining.
But Fleur wants to recuperate, where she is. But it can't be without one, so Furong's errand is gone, there must be gains if there is a loss, and Furong actually understands this truth.
But I understand that I am already idle, and I have not had any errands to do for such a long time, and I have not made any progress. Fleur was a little flustered, and even began to doubt her previous decision.
Fortunately, this time. Miaomiao, the new master, suddenly came, and chose her to be a maid, and Fleur was happy and apprehensive about this.
I'm happy that I finally have an errand to do. was also promoted to a big girl. I don't know if this new master is easy to serve.
Miao Miao didn't know the many thoughts in Fleur's heart, she looked at Fleur and felt that she looked very clever, and it was not only pleasing to the eye, but also very kind, so she nodded and agreed to Fleur to stay.
After seeing the big girl, Miaomiao began to listen to Huihui and continued to introduce the next girls.
In addition to Rose, a second-class maid who is predetermined, another round-faced maid is named Xiaofu. She can be regarded as the son of half of the house. Because Xiaofu has no parents, she grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child.
Xiaofu was sold in since she was a child, and she originally chose Lu Nanxi to be a personal maid. Large families are like this, saying that it is more suitable to be loyal from childhood to adulthood.
But after buying everything, Lu Nanxi didn't get lucky, but picked someone else, and this girl was left.
Xiaofu was still young when he came in, and he couldn't work at all. He does. There was nothing to do, and no one wanted to accept her. In the end, Mama Xie, who was still in the sewing room, couldn't bear to adopt Xiaofu as her goddaughter.
Mama Xie has already combed herself, she has never married in her life, let alone children. However, when Mama Xie was young, she served by the old lady's side, and now she still has a little affection in front of her.
So Mama Xie has been raising in the house, and she also helps the old lady manage the needlework and teach some embroidery skills and the like.
It stands to reason that Mama Xie should accompany Xiaofu to be a female celebrity and teach Xiaofu all the wings of her body. But Xiaofu was not born to be a female celebrity, and he couldn't learn it.
There was no way for Mama Xie to give up and help her granddaughter find another way out. After all, Xiaofu is a girl who sells herself, and it's not good if she doesn't work. The embroiderers in the sewing room are also graded, and they are all according to their craftsmanship.
Mama Xie is not the kind of person who is favoritism, Xiaofu can only arrange her to be a rough girl.
But although Xiaofu is just a rough girl, she is very clever and has the face of Mama Xie, so she can eat very well in the house.
But Mama Xie felt that she was getting older, and she didn't know how many years she could live, so when she was there, everyone looked at her face and treated Xiaofu well. When he leaves, Xiaofu's life will definitely be sad, so he can't go on like this?
Mama Xie didn't know that she had lived a long time, and even died in front of Xiaofu. But that's all for later, Mama Xie has been looking for a good errand for Xiaofu.
Although many people here are not optimistic about Miaomiao, Mama Xie has inquired about the old lady's opinion, and she likes this granddaughter quite much. Although there are some uncertainties, Mama Xie feels that she is still there anyway. Wait and see for a while.
It's really not good, give up this old face of yourself and let Ah Fu come back. After Mama Xie planned it, she thought about it and asked Xiaofu to give it a try.
"Xiaofu has seen Miss, you are so good-looking, Xiaofu has never seen such a handsome person as you."
Xiaofu was a little out of character, and after introducing himself to Miaomiao, he couldn't help but say.
"You~" Miaomiao smiled a little, and she also had some estimates of Xiaofu's temperament in her heart. However, she didn't intend to oppress Xiaofu and make her change, but thought she was quite funny.
It's not because Xiao Fu praises himself for his good looks! Miao Miao nodded affirmatively.
Miaomiao originally thought that the sudden change of bed was a strange place to be vigilant, and she might lose sleep. But Xu was really tired because he was in a hurry, and as soon as Miaomiao lay down on the shelf bed after washing, he soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Miao Miao had just gotten up and had not even combed her hair when she heard a knock on the door of the house.
Huihui had already gotten up and dressed up and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, Huihui saw a mother-in-law standing outside guarding the door, and a somewhat unfamiliar mother-in-law. The strange mother-in-law is still carrying a box of things in her hand.
Huihui smiled and said tentatively, "Who is this grandmother?" ”
The strange woman smiled very kindly, "I am serving by the old lady's side, and the old lady asked me to pass the word to Miss Miaomiao." ”
"It's the mother next to the old lady, is there something wrong?" Huihui asked with a smile when she heard someone say this.
The strange woman was about to speak, but she heard a clear voice from inside. "Hui Hui! Who's at the door? ”
"It's the mother sent by the old lady to pass the word." Huihui hurriedly replied. Miao Miao was a little curious when she heard that it was sent by the old lady, and she didn't care about combing her hair halfway, and said to the door.
"Invite someone in and see what Grandmother has to tell me."
"Mama, please come in." Huihui heard Miaomiao say this, and said to the visitor with a smile.
After the strange woman came in, her attitude was very good, and she was very respectful to Miao Miao, and she was not presumptuous because she was the person next to the old lady.
"I've seen Miss, the old slave will fish and ask you to say goodbye."
The other party was so respectful, and Miao Miao smiled very kindly. "Mama Hui, please get up quickly, why did you come to me? By the way, does Mama drink tea? ”
Mama Hui rejected Miaomiao's proposal, "Miss doesn't have to be annoying, the old slave still has something to do, so let's make a long story short." That's right, miss, the old lady sympathizes with your tiring journey, and yesterday she had to tidy up the yard, so I specially exempted you from asking for peace in the morning, and you just had to eat in your own yard. ”
"And the old lady said that after you eat in the room, clean up. Then go and say hello to the old lady, who intends to introduce you to the relatives of the clan. ”
"Okay, I made a note of that. Mama thanked my grandmother for her old man. ”
Miao Miao said this kung fu, Hui Hui has already gone to get the reward money back. When she saw that Mama Hui was leaving, she smiled and stuffed the purse containing silver into Mama Hui's hand.
"Mama has worked hard."
Mama Hui pretended to refuse, and then accepted it. She secretly pinched the size of her purse, and smiled with satisfaction and surprise.
I didn't expect this young lady from the countryside to be generous.
Sending away Mama's kung fu, Furong Xiaofu and Rose, who took the rice, also returned. The breakfast is still hearty, and the left and right plates are very delicious.
Miao Miao is really not used to being served, and still sends everyone down before starting to eat.
It's nine o'clock, and it's already eight o'clock after Miaomiao's dinner, so she has to go to the province in advance to be late. So there is not much time left for Miaomiao, and the old lady wants Miaomiao to dress up well.
So after Miaomiao ate, she moved out the clothes and jewelry she had brought, and began to make difficult choices. Miao Miao plans to have a more perfect opening in front of everyone.
The same situation happened in other places, and the other party had the idea that they must not lose.
