Chapter 62: Rumors
In the morning, when Zhao Jiao opened her eyes, she was the only one in the house, thinking that there were five days left before the New Year, so she didn't get up in bed anymore.
Mama Lan has been guarding the ear room, and when she heard the sound, she knew that Mrs. was up, so she hurriedly came over to serve Zhao Jiao to wash.
"Mama, I was born into a poor family, and I like to do many things by myself, which may be very different from the masters you used to serve.
But don't worry, our family won't send people away at every turn.
You are human beings like me, and you also have seven emotions and six desires, as long as you can keep to yourself and do your own thing, you don't have to serve carefully and for a long time all day.
I guess you've been tired for the past two days, sleeping late at night and waking up so early in the morning. It just so happens that I'm free now, so let's open our hearts and talk, you sit down first, and wait for me to have breakfast. ”
Mama Lan agreed, feeling a lot more comfortable.
She is really tired these days, more tired than being an errand in the palace!
In the palace, she is a housekeeper, most of the things are done by the little palace maid, and there are very few who can let her do it herself, after all, she doesn't need to wait for the master closely, and there are many times when she wants to rest.
But it's only been three days here, but she feels like a year. Although she didn't do any heavy work, she was very tired, because she had to work hard from morning to night, and she couldn't slow down for a moment!
There is no one to talk to, no one to help, I really want to go back to the palace and continue to work on errands.
But she has been kicked out of the palace by the prince, and whether she will live or die in the future depends on the lady in front of her!
This master's family is too special, and she also wants to find out the master's character before arranging manpower, otherwise what can she do if something goes wrong?
No matter how tired and bent she was, she knew that she had to endure it first, this was only temporary, and it was impossible to keep doing this.
She understands one thing, even if she is tired, she can't make mistakes, otherwise she will be kicked out by the Guogong Mansion, then she will be dead!
The grandfather of this country, when she was in the palace, learned that he was the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the minister of the humerus.
At that time, when she came out, there were still old sisters who were envious!
Zhao Jiao watched the breakfast and her appetite increased greatly!
All kinds of snacks and side dishes can only be served on a few trays.
Two of the small soup dumplings and crystal fried dumplings are placed on delicate small plates, which are particularly cute to set off each other.
The unfinished food was rewarded to Mama Lan, and the two sides cleaned up their own meetings before sitting down to discuss.
In the past two days, Mama Lan has done things Zhao Jiao saw in her eyes, she was really conscientious.
He rewarded her with twenty taels of silver and a hairpin before continuing.
"Let me make it clear to you that there are not many things to do, and there is no need to send people to guard them all the time.
First of all, the items needed for washing in the morning, noon and evening are prepared next door. Especially in the morning, if Grandpa Guo gets up early to go to the government, you can arrange a special person to follow this matter.
Second, unless I need someone to help me comb my hair and dress when I go out or meet guests, I don't need to serve in close quarters, including Grandpa Guo and the second master.
Third, Grandpa Guo's breakfast should be prepared on time, and someone must be responsible.
Fourth, in terms of cleaning in the room, if there are clothes that need to be washed, I will put them in that basket, and you can arrange someone to make a quilt cover on the bed, and that's what it looks like..."
She drew it, but it was actually a very simple thing, and Mama Lan immediately understood.
"The quilt cover and pillowcase should be changed frequently, once a day in summer, two to three days in spring and autumn, and about five days long in winter. Quilts, mattresses, and pillows should be exposed to the sun frequently, except for rainy and cloudy days, and when there is sun, they should be dried once every two days, and the house should be cleaned once a day.
It's the same with children, but they love to move, and it's easy to mess up the house, so just tidy up when they're not in the house, and don't play while tidying up, otherwise there will be dust.
Fifth, it is natural for children to be noisy, and they should not be artificially restrained because they are noisy. As long as what they do does not endanger their own safety and conform to ethical and moral customs, they will play it!
Sixth, you look at the arrangement of my maid, usually I help run errands when I take care of the chores in the house, and when a guest comes to visit or I want to go out, I come over to be a girl, and you teach them the rules. You are mainly in charge of the maids and servants, and you greet me when a guest comes to the door.
Seventh, you discuss a plan with the housekeeper about the system in the house, and I will implement the system if there is no problem.
………
Eleventh ......"
The two discussed and negotiated with each other for half an hour before they dispersed.
There were no guests in the second courtyard, so Zhao Jiao took the children there to have a look. There are a lot of independent courtyards, and I don't know if there are any that need to be repaired.
Passing through several courtyards along the way, Zhao Jiao felt that she was really worried.
The predecessor is worthy of being the tired residence of the family, this flower, grass, tree and courtyard are carefully designed and properly maintained all year round.
When they returned to the main hall of the second courtyard again, the two little ones shouted that they were hungry, so Zhao Jiao asked Mama Rong to take the children down to eat snacks.
When he was thinking about taking a break, Mrs. Zhang, the steward of the Second Hospital, who had withdrawn, stepped forward.
"Madam, the slave has something to do."
Zhao Jiao didn't look like she was an ignorant person, she thought that something was wrong, so she said, "What's the matter?" You said. ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't know if Mrs. would think that she was listening to the wind and rain, but when it came to the matter of Grandpa Guo, she thought that she still had to be cautious, so she told the truth.
It turned out that she had met the shopkeeper who delivered porcelain in the morning, and she had known this person before, and she had a good relationship. has a relative with her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but say something to her when she left.
"I heard that your grandfather is going to marry the second room? When? ”
Mrs. Zhang was shocked, she knew that there was no such thing in the house, so she hurriedly asked him who he listened to?
The shopkeeper's surname is Cheng, who looks like he is in his forties, and he usually speaks and does things very steadily, and there must be a reason for suddenly saying this.
When the shopkeeper saw that she was really not fake, he was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not.
Mrs. Zhang arrived: "Are you still so polite between us?" What if it's wrong? Anyway, let's just chat! ”
The shopkeeper said: "You also know that my shop is a century-old store, and there are often housekeepers, stewards, big maids, mothers-in-law, etc. from noble families who come to me to buy.
This morning, there is more than one maid and son-in-law discussing the matter of Grandpa Guo's marriage to a flat wife, I think that there is no wind and no waves, could it be that Grandpa Guoguo is really going to marry another wife?
I didn't pay attention to who said this first, but your family doesn't know and it's so powerful outside, then there's a problem! I don't know if your house has been rectified!
The girl on the other side is not an ordinary identity, she is the daughter of a second-class official, surnamed Chen.
I look at this situation, if your mansion doesn't marry Miss Chen as the second room, then you should hurry up and solve it, otherwise it will be a bad thing! This is not a trivial matter that hurts each other's face, because it will be difficult to spread the reputation of the other party's daughter, and then you will have to marry if you don't marry, and you have to marry if you don't marry, unless the girl twists her hair and becomes a sister-in-law! ”
Mrs. Zhang only then discovered the seriousness of the matter, this matter is either the grandfather of the whole country or the daughter of the other party!
If the two parties really have the intention of getting married, it is a happy thing, but what if not?
So she accompanied Madame around the garden with great thought, and only when Madame was about to rest did she take the time to come forward and say.
After Zhao Jiao listened, her face was ugly!
