Chapter 13 The fine of silver, the maid who betrays the Lord
Zhou shook his head, "You are the young lady of the Huo family, and half a month's monthly money is naturally not a big deal in your opinion, but for a maid, half a month's monthly money is not easy to come by." ”
Huo Zhirou is the treasure of Jingbei Hou, her monthly expenses are from the public, whether it is a few taels of silver, or a few hundred taels of silver, in her eyes it is no different from a grain of sand.
But for the subordinates who live on monthly money and the rewards of their masters, one or two pieces of silver is also money.
Zhou then said: "What's more, on weekdays, everyone in the house has to give Hancui a little face, that's because everyone knows that Hancui is the big girl in my room, once she is fined a month, everyone will also know that she did something wrong and made me angry, then her status in the house will plummet in an instant." ”
Huo Zhirou is not a complete stupid person, she understands a little bit of the latter words, and she still understands the reason why the wall is falling down and everyone pushes it. But she still felt that it was too troublesome to deal with it like this, far less clean than a beating, "Mother, since you don't believe in Hancui either, why don't you just beat her, forgive her and don't dare not tell the truth." ”
"Rou'er, you have to know that it may not be the secret leaked by Han Cui, although only Han Cui was present at the time, but asking the house doctor to come to check the pulse, it is inevitable to meet other people in the middle, and it is not strange to leak the news."
To say that Han Cui will rebel against the master, Zhou actually doesn't believe it, Han Cui is the big girl next to her, and she is the most face-saving among the people in the house. But anyone who is a little smarter will not do anything treacherous. Unless Hancui himself is Huo Changjin's person, but this is impossible.
Zhou's left Hancui by his side to serve, and he had already made her bottom clear, her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were all working in the Huo family, and they had no contact with the people on the Yang family's side, to say that Hancui was Huo Changjin's side, the possibility was very small.
"Rou'er, it's my mother who spoiled you." Zhou looked at his daughter's red and swollen cheeks, and couldn't help sighing, this slap was a loss for Huo Zhirou, and it was also a wake-up call to her, if it continued like this, Huo Zhirou was afraid that it would be wasted.
Huo Zhirou was not convinced, and pursed her mouth, "Mother, why do you say that, what's wrong with your daughter." In terms of her daughter's appearance and talent, she will also be one of the best in the capital. ”
Huo Zhirou's appearance follows Zhou's five points, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, cherry mouth, although she is still young now, and her face is still a little unopened, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are already faintly visible, and this appearance can indeed be regarded as one of the best in Chu Jing.
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhou also invited a famous teacher in Chu Jingli to teach, and in the past few years, Huo Zhirou is also good, especially good at dancing, with a slender willow waist and outstanding dancing posture.
However, Zhou is well aware that these are secondary.
"Originally, my mother didn't want you to taste the hardships she had suffered, so she just spoiled you, hoping that you could be a real daughter, but now it seems that there are still things that cannot be missing, and my mother must teach you."
Thinking of his previous experience, Zhou couldn't help but sigh. She failed to be a daughter, so she made up for her lifelong regrets on her daughter, which is not a good thing now that I think about it.
Huo Zhirou was confused, "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”
She doesn't understand, what can't be missing?
Zhou rubbed his daughter's hair, and said earnestly: "Rou'er, do you know that when you marry a woman in the future, your appearance and talent are not the most important. ”
As soon as the words fell, Huo Zhirou frowned, "How can it not be the most important?" If it's not pretty, who will like it. If you don't have a good talent, you will be laughed at. ”
"If you don't look beautiful, you may not be liked, but no matter how beautiful you look, you may not be liked by men."
Zhou thought that Huo Zhirou couldn't understand, so he took himself as an example, "What do you think of Huo Changjin's mother Yang's appearance?" Yang's father is the former prince and the prince, a scholarly heirloom, when Yang was young, her appearance and talent were a must, she was a few years younger than her mother, no matter in terms of appearance and talent, in fact, her mother could not compare to her. ”
"Mother, you are much more beautiful than the Yang family." Huo Zhirou hurriedly took over.
Although the Zhou family knew it in her heart, she was still very happy to hear her daughter say this, she smiled, "Rou'er, my mother is self-aware, even though the Yang family is more beautiful and talented than me, but so what, the person Hou Ye likes is still me, not the Yang family." ”
When he said this, Zhou's eyes couldn't help but show a little pride, what if the Yang family was the eldest lady who was cultivated in the big family, she was not defeated by her in the end. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been able to give birth to a son, there would have been no Yang family in the Jingbei Hou Mansion for a long time.
"Rou'er, my mother told you that for a woman, appearance and talent are secondary, and the most important thing is to know how to firmly grasp a man's heart."
