Chapter 874: You Look Good When You Smile
Poria in the corridor, holding half a large watermelon in one hand to enjoy the cool, holding a small spoon in the other hand and pointing into the distance: "Ahahaha, hahaha......"
Poria smiled back and forth, laughing with a small voice, and the red watermelon on her tongue was very obvious.
Mama Zeng was very worried that Miss would choke, so she stepped forward to catch it with a handkerchief, wanting Miss to spit out the watermelon in her mouth and laugh again.
Song Poria vomited, phew, spit out a small black seed, chewed a few watermelons and laughed: "Ahahaha." ”
He also pointed to those people in the distance and shouted:
"Mama, look, I'm going to be laughed to death by a few grandmothers."
And he said the word dead, alas.
Mama Zeng saw Poria smiling so happily, and forcibly held back the preaching, so let the young lady relax for a day.
Then he turned his head to look into the distance, and he couldn't hold back, and a few smiles appeared on Mama Zeng's face.
Since coming to the Song family, to be honest, she and Mama Jing have always been in this mood every day.
It's just that I can't hold back the feeling of being amused.
Let's say right now.
In the distance, Mama Jing was teaching the maids to break down their movements, and the old ladies of the family suddenly appeared in the team.
Mama Jing shouted, "Raise your head, neck forward, forward and backward and then bow your head slightly." ”
Several old ladies in the family also neck forward at the back of the line, just how to look awkward.
Song Fuling can be compared to Mama Zeng's summary:
The grandmothers are neck forward, like acrobats.
After a while, the grandmothers went on crutches again, and their arms and legs were not good.
The next action, walking, walking, the grandmothers stiffened and walked forward, if they were equipped with a bayonet in their hands, like devils entering the village.
And Mama Jing, who was teaching the maids, finally found that something was wrong at the back of the team.
Look at it, old ladies, this is not what you old men should learn.
Mrs. Wang and the others immediately picked up the dustpan that was placed on the ground and left.
If you don't say it early, you'll be tired enough.
Only then did Mama Jing hold the ring ruler in her hand and continue to teach the thirty-six maids: "Press the left hand with the right hand, press the left hand lightly on the hip bone, bend the knees with the legs together, and bow the head slightly. ”
The slightest movement is not standardized, and the ring ruler will be struck.
In the scorching summer, the maids are sweating like rain and training.
Flies, mosquitoes, small flying insects, whatever they are, fall on their faces, ears, and necks, and they can't move.
Mama Jing tried to teach these maids to have rules in their bones.
Because she and Mama Zeng both know that they can't count on Miss.
The prince doesn't let him teach stupidity, let those who want to learn learn, and don't want to learn not to force it.
The first thing the old man Song Governor said when he saw them was that the young lady was going to stop complaining.
So Miss just needs to get by with the rules on the big picture.
However, the more Miss is like this, the more people around her must have rules.
Use the maid brought out by the young lady to highlight that the young lady is a person who attaches great importance to the rules.
Even, the two grandmothers knew that even the old man Song Governor's Mansion was like this.
The more poor the background, the more the poor people became high-ranking officials, the masters can be free, and the servants must pay attention to the rules, so as to highlight that the Song prefect has a good way of governing the family and is not inferior to the family.
When the master asked them, the two grandmothers had also made sincere suggestions to the master.
As for that conversation, Song Fusheng felt that there was something wrong after that, and what the two grandmothers said made sense. He talked privately with Qian Peiying, Mrs. Ma and Grandpa Song.
For example, the two grandmothers proposed that there are many kinds of slaves.
knew that the Song family was impatient to raise slaves, and even the stewardship in the fields was done by his own family.
But there is a subordinate class of slaves that is indispensable, and some of them still need to be raised.
For example, the house of the ancestral hometown must be guarded and taken care of by this kind of slave.
If there is something going on in the hometown, the wedding and funeral with affection should be reported in time.
Like ancestral tombs, ancient people were the most taboo about being dug up ancestral graves, and they paid the most attention to the afterlife.
What will the family look like, when you are young, you will raise some subordinate slaves like your grandmother said, and after the death of your master, this kind of slave will be given to the ancestral grave from generation to generation.
In addition, the two grandmothers also suggested a few points, from travel to picking up the domestic servants' behavior norms, so the male slaves outside are still being recruited, as for the maids, the thirty-six maids trained in this batch are not all in order to let Poria take them away.
Pick out more than 20 people, and let Poria take them away.
The training is not in vain if it is a little worse, and in the future, I will serve Mrs. Ma and Qian Peiying, as well as these old ladies at home.
Speaking of maids, what about the ones that Mrs. Ma bought before.
In the past, were the ones people bought maids?
Mrs. Ma is playing a big game of chess, that is the cake master who is scattered to the south and north of the world in the future, and people want to slowly cultivate those girls into countless Mrs. Ma from all over the world.
Therefore, for Mama Zeng and Mama Jing, the burden on their bodies is very heavy at the moment.
Not only must we often mention the master of this family, but also train the maids of the palace and the Song family.
Mama Zeng was a little better, she only said a few words to Song Fuling, and occasionally pointed out to Mrs. Qian Peiying and Mrs. Taigong.
As long as she can control these people, don't always "talk back", this is unreasonable, that is unreasonable, don't always look for loopholes, don't always come up with new ideas to be lazy.
After Poria got married, Mama Zeng only did a good job of "following her mother".
What is it called following the mother, that is, where the master goes, where she goes.
A good mother should be able to speak well, and she must be especially good at observing words and feelings, what does the other party mean when she says that? Is there anything rude to Poria in behavior, rude, how can Poria be decent and not lose the princess's demeanor. Even when Poria goes to the palace, this mother is also qualified to accompany her, and directs the accompanying maid how to serve.
It can be seen that Mama Zeng's most important task is that wherever Poria is, she will follow her wherever she is, and she must serve Poria properly.
Mama Jing can't do it, because she is "watching Mom." ”
The so-called housekeeper is as famous as the big housekeeper next to the male owner, but she is the big housekeeper on the side of the female owner, and all the things of the female owner, from food to clothing, from the trivial matters of the inner house, to the management of the housekeeper of the outside shop, she has to take care of it.
Let's not talk about making a living outside, just teaching the maid at the moment, Mama Jing finds it difficult.
After all, these maids are already in their teens, and none of them are domesticated and grew up with the young lady.
She is not good at correcting habits that have been going on for more than a decade.
I am afraid of developing inertia about everything, and it is difficult to change habits. Unlike the blank sheet of paper, she can easily teach.
She didn't know if the maids would have two hearts for Song Ling.
As a teenager, you can already think about things and have your own thoughts and ideas. It's not good to put "Miss is the sky, Miss is life" into the heart of every maid.
However, the situation of the Song family is here, and Mama Jing knows that no matter how difficult it is, she must teach it.
At present, the 36 maids standing in front of Mama Jing have been selected layer by layer, and they are from dozens of counties and hundreds of villages under Huanglong Fucheng and Fucheng, and they have been checked for household registration and family conditions, and they have stood out from the 2,000 people.
And at the time of selection, all the things that can be inspected will be assessed.
Cooperated by the prefect of Song.
The prefect of Song sent a large number of people, first the audition, then the primary election, the preliminary round, the semi-final, all of which were tossed, and the "funds" burned out a lot of silver money in vain.
When I was a father, I was so worried.
For example, in the initial audition, Song Fusheng arranged for Master Qin to appear on the stage, specifically to thoroughly investigate the background of the maids, and brush off a batch.
Then the next one was for the maids to answer.
It's like the young lady has done something wrong, and you know that the young lady has done something wrong, what should you do?
Tell Miss that it's okay to do this? The answer is incorrect, brush it off.
The answer was not announced, and the answer was in Song Fusheng's heart.
The correct way to open it should be that the maid should help hide it.
Let's see if there is a loophole in what Poria did wrong. Hurry up and inform his daughter to make up for it.
The questions are varied.
By the time of the rematch, a number of people had already been brushed off by that time.
Song Fusheng arranged for his daughter to stand somewhere and drop a very large fake stone from the sky, just to see the maids around her daughter, which ones pounced on them and which frightened them and retreated.
When there were not many people left in the end, Song Fusheng arranged for Qian Peiying to take Mama Jing to appear.
At that time, Qian Peiying skimmed the tea foam and motioned to Mama Jing to start the exam.
At the last level, Mama Jing began to ask about the things in the room.
Mama Jing didn't expect that she could test the maids like this.
At that time, there were questions in the exam, when I heard that the male master and the female owner were arguing in the room, what should I do as a maid.
The male master and the female protagonist had a cold war, and they stopped talking, as a maid, do you want to inquire about the whereabouts of the male protagonist and tell the young lady.
And so on, many, many questions.
Well, and, if the male master's eyes on the maid are wrong, it is the eyes of that side, and even bring it up, what do you do.
Qian Peiying almost choked on this last question.
Comrade Peiying never expected that Mama Jing would draw inferences from one another.
This problem is not hers, her psychology is to resist that her family Minrui is the kind of merry child, and she can't even imagine it.
Of course, there are many assessments, and the maids have not been trained to answer them tightly. If you want to train a very good maid, you have to go through special training.
These pre-entry assessments, in Song Fusheng's words, are just to understand whether the three views are the same.
Thinking about things and doing things, if the three views are inconsistent, it is useless to teach.
He is rare that his daughter is surrounded by girls who protect her shorts.
His daughter is not confused, and she doesn't need a maid to teach right and wrong.
In Song Fusheng's view, Poria's side, including Lu Pan's side, should be less of a slave full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The slave followed for a long time, and whispered these things in his ears every day, and his two children were upright enough, and if they continued to be benevolent, they would become two little fools.
Just like this, Mama Jing followed the whole process, and she saw it all in her eyes.
She's even more attentive.
At present, she has already taught these 36 maids the basic skills, ironing clothes, folding clothes, mixing spices, making beds, etc., as well as teaching literacy every day.
continues to let the maids practice walking and saluting, but it is just to let the maids develop the habit of every move from their bones.
It's not something you just learn.
In Song Fuling's eyes, it's like a military training Xi is walking, who do you say can't walk? Why is the military training from the beginning to the end?
That's right, Poria took the rules to learn the rules and train in the army.
No, she started after eating the watermelon.
At the same time with thirty-six maids.
She has already known how to move, but she is not practicing.
"Mama, no, I can't sit still."
Song Fuling is training for a banquet in the palace, what posture does she want to sit next to Lu Bin.
It's called sitting.
The banquet in the palace is a ground table.
Poria needs to keep her knees together, her feet close to the ground, her hips on her heels, and her hands on her knees.
In this position, she can't sit still, she is always shaking. The instep is close to the ground, and it hurts for a long time.
Mama Zeng was ruthless, so she had to continue to sit.
There is a banquet in the palace, we don't know when the emperor will end, the ministers below, reply one after another, the program one after another, the young lady as the princess, sitting at the front, the courtiers below are watching, if the sitting posture can't hold on, it is absolutely inappropriate.
"Miss, look here, don't move your eyes."
"Miss, when the prince wants to drink, you have to pour wine like this."
"Miss, if there is a lady who greets you, you should bow your head, look over, and raise your hand slightly."
Yes, yes, Mama Zeng is satisfied, Miss Bingxue is smart. This expression is particularly right.
Song Fuling thought to herself: I can handle this tone to death, isn't it just a little more arrogant in peace. Arrogance can't have the arrogance of slanting and raising the chin slightly, okay, remember, you can't raise your eyebrows to greet people, you can't dance with your eyebrows, you can't laugh and show your teeth.
Miss, what would you do if a lady would ask you to have dinner with you and show you goodwill?
Song Fuling: "......"
Not a banquet in the palace? Across the table, the meal system is divided, what else do they signal? Who can serve whom food? Besides, this is not a gesture of goodwill, this is called nothing to do, and Lu Pan doesn't dare to clean things up when I eat.
"Mama, you say," Poria said obediently, complaining a lot in her heart that it was useless.
Mama Zeng told Poria that you can say "please" first, and the wives who are not as good as you will resign first and let you come first. You insist again, and at the same time pick up the chopsticks to pick up the food, so that they can pick up the chopsticks.
"Okay, remember."
After Song Fuling practiced sitting and standing in the palace, including eating, she also had to practice the wedding ceremony.
She sighed and repeated: pressing her right hand against her left hand, hiding her sleeve in half, raising her hands and eyebrows and bowing to Lu Pan.
"Mama, are you alright? My back was stiff. I really don't have to practice this action for too long, don't worry, Prince Yu, he doesn't dare to let me worship him for so long. ”
Mama Zeng: "......"
A week later.
Twenty-one maids knelt in the lobby of the Song family.
Above sat Song Fusheng, Qian Peiying, Mrs. Ma, and Song Fuling.
The two grandmothers stood aside and asked the old lady to give her name.
These twenty-one maids are different from the remaining fifteen, and twenty-one people are going to leave with Song Fuling in the future.
The representative is the person that Poria brought from her mother's home.
In the future, the maids and mothers-in-law of the Lu family will treat these maids well.
Song Fusheng attached great importance to it, and racked his brains with Qian Peiying last night to deliberately name these maids.
At this point, listen to orders.
There were eight in a row, and ordinary maids stepped forward first.
Song Fusheng gave the name: "Lemon, durian, date, star fruit, betel nut, loquat, olive, ringo." ”
It's all the names of fruits next to the wooden characters, or fruits that no one has eaten in ancient times.
The close-fitting big girl stepped forward.
Eight in a row.
Song Fusheng opened his lips and said:
"Guerlain, Dior, Lancôme, Vichy, Fendi, Longines, Chanel, Clinique."
Song Fuling couldn't help it, it was really embarrassing for her father, so she spit out the tea with a smile.
Mrs. Ma patted her granddaughter on the back while tsking.
Listen, how talented her three sons are, why did she give her niece so many names, she heard that Guerlain and Lancôme were much better than Song Muzi, and she knew that it would be better for her to call her Erya Song Jiaolan.
Two traveling maids stepped forward.
These two should be mentioned separately, because they can juggle a little bit and have kung fu in them.
In the future, Song Fuling will go out, and these two female maids will follow and protect her. Although it's a fake handle, it's also like a female guard.
Song Fusheng named it: "One is called Gulfstream, and the other is called Bentley." "What flies in the sky, what runs on the ground.
"Roast chicken?"
Roast chicken stepped forward and knelt down: "Master." ”
Roast chicken is the most special maid, the first maid of the daughter, and she is still fat.
My daughter said that even if the roast chicken is not good at learning the rules, it must be taken away by the roast chicken.
"Roast chicken, you will call it from now on, Rafite."
Song Poria: "Ahahaha, Emma, hahahaha." He started again, laughing back and forth.
Mama Zeng was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up, she taught for a long time, and the young lady still had no "rules" when she smiled.
