Chapter 9: The Slave and the Maid (I)

Slave and Maid (I)

"You know you're scared?" Su Xin has actually made up her mind in her heart, but she just wants to give Huixin a long memory, so that she will not say anything and suffer losses in the future.

"Hmm." Huixin sniffed.

"Tomorrow morning, when the girl gets up, I will take Grandma Sun away, you go and tell the truth to the girl, it's good when you catch up, now the girl is obedient, she won't embarrass you, and she won't embarrass your wife." Su Xin gets along with An Cheng a lot in the end, and she is older, "Don't just ask the girl to do things for you, just tell the truth, understand?" ”

Huixin wiped her tears and nodded.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, you still have to watch the girl tonight, go back quickly, you can remember the lesson later?" Su Xin took her handkerchief and cleaned Huixin's face.

Early the next morning, An Cheng was startled by Huixin, who was guarding the bedside with bloodshot eyes, "What's wrong?" Who wronged you? Or did you become a thief at night? ”

Huixin sniffed and knelt down, "Girl, the slave said the wrong thing last night. ”

“…… One is that you shouldn't pick and choose what your wife has already decided, and the other is that you shouldn't instigate the girl, but the slave and maid don't have a heart, and the girl forgives her sins. ”

Actually, if this Huixin didn't come to ask for guilt, An Cheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with last night's conversation at all, even if she came now, An Cheng felt that she was making a big fuss, "It's okay, get up." ”

Huixin looked up at An Cheng uneasily, and her voice was like a mosquito, "That'...... The girl ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell my wife, what you just said is right, the carriage can rest at night." An Cheng didn't want to move the crowd because he was alone.

Huixin smiled suddenly, "Thank you, girl." ”

"What's the big deal...... An Cheng looked at Huixin with tears in his eyes a little funny, and didn't know what to say.

Huixin nodded seriously, "Girl, of course this is a big deal, we are slaves, every word the master says is a big deal, you can't make mistakes, the slave is afraid of being kicked out." ”

An Cheng looked at Huixin, and somehow, she remembered that she used to secretly eat sugar, and she didn't think it was a big deal, in fact, for her, the impact was to eat a few fewer pastries every day, but the little maids at the beginning don't know where they are now......

An Cheng couldn't laugh, it had been so long before she thought of them.

An Cheng felt guilty about his indifference and selfishness.

“…… Get up. Until Grandma Sun came back, An Cheng didn't speak again.

Mama Sun is probably afraid that An Cheng will be uncomfortable today, so the dishes she makes in the morning are all sweet dishes, "fish rolls, osmanthus balls, pumpkin cakes, mountain buns, pickled bamboo shoots and pickled lotus roots, cold salad of vegetables, and walnut porridge." ”

"It's not as full as everything at home, so the girl will eat it." Looking at Su Xin's expression, he also tried his best.

"Why did you eat in your room today?" An Cheng was a little strange.

"Mrs. sent someone to pass the word, it is cramped here, and there are many people over there, I am afraid that people will come and go and bump the girl, so I told the girl not to walk around, and there is no need to ask for peace." Huixin repeated the words of the lotus branch, and added another sentence to herself, "This is the case in every house. ”

An Cheng nodded, the Shen family has a lot of things, and now they are not more rigorous than at home, and it is really not good to go out and meet any people.

"Well done." Although it was a compliment, An Cheng only ate half a bowl of porridge, so she asked someone to withdraw, she had no appetite, but she didn't want Grandma Sun to blame Suxin.

Before he could leave, An Cheng looked at the three people who were waiting beside him, "Do you know where the little maids who were kicked out have gone?" ”

Mama Sun and Huixin came late, and they didn't have any impression of what happened back then, only Su Xin remembered, "The original person, the wife was kind, and she didn't really drive it out, and then they all served outside the second gate, and this time they didn't follow Shangjing, so they stayed in Shu to watch the house." ”

From the maid of the wife of the main courtyard to the empty house in Shudi......

"How much silver do I have?" An Cheng's lack of emotional intelligence makes her not know what to make up for except material things.

An Cheng is a concubine, five taels of silver per month, as well as various subsidies given by the Shen family, and the money to reward her subordinates does not come from An Cheng, and her private money is still a lot.

The silver is in charge of Su Xin, "The girl's monthly case, as well as the wife's private gift, should add up to more than four hundred and fifty taels." ”

"Then ......" An Cheng made another difficulty, and it was nothing to give them all the silver, but how to give, who to give, and what the Shen side would think, these are all troubles.

Seeing An Cheng like this, Mama Sun didn't ask, squatted down and said with a smile, "If Sister Cheng has something troublesome, why don't you ask Mrs." ”

Mama Sun made up her mind to think of ways to let An Cheng Shen get as close as she could, "Mother and daughter, what can't you say?" ”

An Cheng also felt that if he wanted to do this without going through the Shen family, the possibility was about zero, and nodded, "That's right." ”

As soon as he got into the carriage, Lotus Leaf handed over a white porcelain gold-painted lotus leaf teacup, this is Shen's cup, which is slightly greenish soup, "This is the earthwork of a local old doctor, it is called Yindancao, and it is very effective to soak in water to treat motion sickness." ”

An Cheng took it and smelled it, and suddenly, isn't this mint? Speaking of which, it seems that there are also modern people who use mints to treat motion sickness.

I don't know if it was because I was uncomfortable yesterday, or because of the effect of peppermint, in short, An Cheng didn't want to vomit as much as yesterday, "Madam, do you remember the little maids who were fined last year?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Shen has always regretted that the punishment was so cruel that her daughter was not close to her, but now that An Cheng mentions it, she can remember.

"I want to give them some silver." An Cheng didn't know how to say it, his request was too abrupt.

Fortunately, Shen Shi did not veto it, "Why?" ”

"Well, there was a little maid who said the wrong thing in front of me before, in fact, I forgot it, but she came to kneel and kowtow to me very solemnly to admit her mistake, I don't understand why she made such a fuss."

An Cheng mixed the truth and falsehood, afraid that Shen would think of the Su Xin Hui Xin beside her, and she would grow wise.

"But after she explained, I understood that sometimes just my casual words or actions will bring disaster to them."

"Those little maids were really at fault at the beginning, but I was the one who was greedy, and they were the ones who suffered, so I felt very sorry."

An Cheng explained to Shen seriously, and Shen listened patiently.

"You think you're sorry for them?"

"Isn't it?" An Cheng felt that Shen's expression didn't seem to agree with her statement.

In the spirit of asking if you don't understand, and learning if you don't understand, "Mrs. wants to say that I am the master and they are slaves, don't you feel sorry for them?" ”

An Cheng knew that Shen was not such a person, but she wanted to hear how Shen would explain.

Although An Cheng, who grew up in an equal society, has also encountered inequality, she has never seen such a clear and pure master-servant relationship as now, she has too many things to learn, and she has too many things to change.

An Cheng looked at the lotus leaves and lotus branches beside him with a weak heart, and the hatred value of this question was asked.

The lotus leaf and lotus branch looked at An Cheng's appearance, pursed their lips and looked at each other and smiled.

The Shen family did not shy away from the lotus leaves and lotus branches, but asked them directly, "You two can rest assured and boldly say, if there is really such a master, are you loyal or not?" ”
