Chapter 20: The Jade Slave

Qianchun and Dye Xia brought a group of people to wait outside the door, and waited for the mother-in-law to come out and ask them to go in. But I only called some people first, and there were many people lined up outside.

After they saw the ceremony, Wan Zhao stared at them one by one, and there was no trace of Dai painting, and he was secretly disappointed in his heart.

Mrs. Zhou screened it in advance, and the people who came were all well-mannered. Yun Zhao estimated that she was going to send these people to the old lady, and then send her again.

taught people to name them, but they were just old ladies who looked at them.

"All of them are good." The old grandmother laughed.

Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law smiled and said, "The old lady thinks they are good because of their creation, I think you can pick a few good ones first." If you are satisfied, you will stay, and if you are not satisfied, you will be dismissed. Who can say what can't be done? This taught her to be so casual that people who are not a little bit of face really dare not say so in front of Mrs. Tai.

Wan Zhao recognized it for a long time, but he still couldn't remember what her name was.

"Categorically, if you really don't get disciplined by me, won't it hurt your daughter-in-law's heart?" The old lady smiled heartily.

Mrs. Zhou smiled faintly, didn't say anything, and said as much as she could.

At this time, Yun Zhao and Hui Yan sat together, and asked quietly: "Sister Hui Yan, who is the mother-in-law next to my aunt?" ”

"Hey, that's Jing Niang's nursing mother, Aunt Duan, and it's also the maid that Mrs. Zhou brought from her mother's house." Hui Yan said softly.

"I thought it was her, but it turned out to be her." He pouted.

In the past, she sneaked to Jing Niang's place to play, but was stopped by the old man. first said a bunch of good things as good words to persuade her, and then moved out Mrs. Zhou to scare her, but she didn't ask anyone to kick her out.

On weekdays, I didn't see how well she treated Jing Niang, and she ran to Mrs. whenever she had time. When Wan Zhao saw her, he didn't stay for a moment except for some drinking money, so as not to break her mouth and say anything.

"The girl's nurse is a decent mother-in-law after all." Hui Yan smiled and comforted her.

All the old servants of wealthy families have no merit and hard work, not only the small ones will be respected, but the masters in the house will also respect a few points. As the days went by, no one began to look at anyone. And those nursing mothers are even worse, relying on Lang Jun and the girl to eat milk for a few months, they think they can run rampant in the house.

"It's not like that, it's just that I don't know her well." Akira said.

Aunt Duan smiled, "The old lady is a person who has been in the Spring and Autumn Period, and she should find someone to serve her at any time." ”

Mrs. Zhou persuaded: "I think the first few are okay, teach them to serve the old lady." ”

"Hey, you guys, you're going to worry about me." The old lady only obeyed them and taught Linlang to lead it.

Yun Zhao couldn't understand why Mrs. Zhou was in such a hurry to add a servant to her grandmother, but after all, she was a wealthy family, and she would not be talked about if she added a dozen or so people in one go.

A few more people were ordered, waiting for them to choose.

"Yunu, what do you think of them?" Mrs. Zhou said.

I thought that the people next to this nickname had forgotten, but I didn't expect it to be mentioned twice.

Yun Zhao smiled: "They are all good, but my nephew is a junior, and now I should wait for the elders to finish picking." ”

It is the way of a gentleman to be virtuous, to be equal to the noble and the low, to be close to each other, and to be orderly between the young and the old, and in the "Analects of Women", it is taught that all women should know the number of etiquette.

The old lady asked Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Su to pick a few people, but Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything, but Aunt Su excused herself a few times, and in the end, even Hui Yan and Yun Zhao persuaded her to reluctantly accept the favor. After suffering this time, she couldn't help it, so she looked at Mrs. Zhou.

"You're not in good health, you have to find someone to ask for medicine and medicine, just use it." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

Aunt Su was embarrassed and thanked her again and again before sitting down.

The old lady also left some slaves and maids for her second brother Han Zhen, and let them be recorded and sent to the East Courtyard. Yun Zhao realized that there was one person missing here today, that is, Han Zhen's wife Fang. Yun Zhao used to see her before and had a very good relationship with her.

"Why didn't my cousin come today?" Wan Zhao asked.

"She went back to her parents' house and heard that her mother was sick." The old lady sighed.

When he saw this, he didn't ask.

She saw that the little daughter-in-law beside Mrs. Zhou was not involved, and just wanted to mention her, but she had already denied it categorically. Yun Zhao saw that she was so afraid of the Zhou family, and he couldn't call her.

"Sister Huiyan seems to have only one Qiao'er by her side." Yun Zhao reminded his grandmother in her ear.

The old lady has always liked young girls, so she happily asked Mrs. Duan to call a few people to serve. What a close-fitting girl, what a mother-in-law who cleans up utensils, what a little girl who sprinkles and sweeps, until the old lady is satisfied.

Hui Yan thanked the people around her, and then said to Yun Zhao: "I don't want you to pick the rest in the end, why don't you choose some from my people?" ”

Where would Yun Zhao promise her, and she refused politely.

The old lady smiled: "Where will she depend on you, just give her all the outside." ”

"The old lady laughed, where are you willing to let your daughter pick up the rest of the others." Aunt Duan said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhou said: "I think you people, I'm afraid you have already prepared. ”

Sure enough, the last person to come in was better than the one given to the old grandmother earlier. It takes about half a year to train to come out of such a well-behaved slave.

At the time of the roll call, it was already approaching dusk. Yun Zhao was tired and sleepy, and his eyelids were much looser. Leaning on the armrest with her elbows, Linlang had already come back at this time, and when she saw that she was about to lean there, she found someone to make chrysanthemum tea.

"Girl, here comes tea."

Yun Zhao smelled the fragrance of tea, sobered up a little, and only after sipping tea did he recognize his servants and maids.

The old lady was happy to stay with everyone for dinner, and there were many people today. I called the others, and I had to reunite with the family. The gentlemen of the Feng Mansion were also called, gathered together, and the door was like a city. The red candle burns, the benzoin is charming, and I haven't seen it like this for a long time, and I'm overjoyed.

Wan Zhao, Hui Yan, Auntie, Aunt Su, Mrs. Zhou and others personally served tea, food, and dinner for the old lady, and waited until everything was done before they went to their respective places. The gentlemen served tea to the guests as a sign of respect. Such a pomp and circumstance is actually orderly, not far behind.

In the middle of the feast, Jing Niang ran back, and Mrs. Zhou didn't reproach her for running out. I only asked the nurse to take her to change her clothes quickly. Of course, the girl couldn't be honest, and trotted back. As soon as she came, she spilled the tea, and the old lady was also strange, so she asked someone to serve her hot wine.

There are many more people than usual, and they are very happy.

Seeing this situation, Yun Zhao's heart suddenly felt awkward, and he was still uncomfortable after drinking a few glasses of wine. It's like a breath in my chest. She thought it was stuffy in the house, so she ran out under the pretext.

The scene was huge, and a table was set up outside, and she took the wine and sat down in the back where no one was.

Someone came up to her and said, "Hey, why did you get drunk at such a young age?" ”

Yun Zhao didn't listen to him, and ate and drank by himself.
