Chapter 688: The Wedding Maid
Princess Ning couldn't help but smile when she looked at Jiang Zhimian's shiny and expectant eyes.
Reaching out and poking her forehead, "Are you afraid of hard work, so you want to find someone to help you share it?" ”
"Zhimian, why don't you learn it yourself, I heard that many people's concubines will rely on themselves to be the housekeeper, and then step by step to be the master of the house, and then kick the original housewife out of the position." Fu Xin'er said worriedly.
Princess Ning was surprised, "Where did you hear that?" ”
"Just the book outside, what kind of concubine turned into a housewife, I wrote a lot!" Fu Xin'er replied without concealment.
"The book outside? Folk? How do you go to see those. Princess Ning was even more surprised.
Fu Xin'er was very excited, "Those are very good-looking, they are much more interesting than the Book of Songs, and it was only after reading those that I realized how boring I used to be, and I thought that as long as I was a talented girl, I could live a stable life." ”
Now it seems that in life, you still have to have some skills and the city government.
Princess Ning originally wanted to persuade Fu Xin'er not to look at those anymore, lest others know about it, and when the time comes, it will be rumored that she, the number one talented woman in the capital, will be famous.
But think about it again, Fu Xin'er is too simple, it doesn't matter if you look at these.
After all, after getting married in the future, I will definitely encounter these things, and I will have no means at that time, but I will really become the poor original housewife in the book.
Covering his mouth, he coughed lightly, and admonished, "Just look at it, don't talk about it everywhere, if it is known, it is time to say that you are a talented woman who has lost her fame." ”
"Knowing Princess Ning, goddaughter be careful." Fu Xin'er stuck out her tongue and said.
The topic returned to Jiang Zhimian.
Jiang Zhimian said, "Of course I won't be lazy, but the old housekeeper of Ningwangfu must know a lot of tricks to check and manage accounts, I want to find someone to learn, learn, and go back to Pingnan County in the future to help me manage my Jianghutang and beauty salon." ”
"What's so difficult about this, if you want to marry Mo Han, you originally wanted to bring two maids to dowry, but you don't have anything by your side, I'll go and find two clean foundations for you in the afternoon, follow along, and do whatever you let them do in the future."
"Where are you looking?"
Fu Xin'er hurriedly replied, "In the southernmost street of Beijing, there are many poor people who are so poor that they can be slaves, and they can get a lot of silver by signing a deed of sale for three years and five years." ”
Jiang Zhimian nodded.
That's similar to the modern labor market, but with a long-term contract.
"I'd like to go along too, okay? Anyway, if you choose a wedding maid, you must always choose one that fits your eyes, right? Jiang Zhimian asked.
Princess Ning smiled and agreed, "Okay." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, she took Jiang Zhimian to that street.
As soon as I walked in, those with pats on their chests or signs in their hands rushed up.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a family member next to him, it is estimated that it would have been directly attached to Jiang Zhimian.
"Miss Madam, choose me, I can work, I can do anything!"
"I have strength, I can do rough work."
"Buy me, I'm cheap, and I eat less!"
……
Listening to these people's self-introductions, Jiang Zhimian didn't like it very much.
Princess Ning also didn't look down on it.
"If you go further inside, it's better, and you can choose a maid or something, and you can choose it inside." Princess Ning introduced.
Sure enough, across this group of noisy people, and further inside, there were some girls, sitting on both sides of the street in a regular manner, and the signs were written on the price or something.
Picking and choosing for a while, Jiang Zhimian chose a girl named Xiao Tao.
And Princess Ning also takes a fancy to one, called Sugar Heart.
The two girls got together, and their appearances were still marked, but when they stood in front of Jiang Zhimian, they were instantly overshadowed.
Princess Ning was very satisfied with this look.
If the maid is more beautiful than the master, it will be a bit reversed, which is just right.
And Jiang Zhimian picked the two of them because of their thin fingers and the calluses left by needlework.
This kind of hand makes things very carefully, and if you follow back to Jianghutang in the future, you will not be able to do cosmetics or something.
"Princess Ning, have we chosen these two?" Jiang Zhimian asked.
Princess Ning waved her hand, "Wait a minute, there is another matter." ”
In Jiang Zhimian's puzzled eyes, Princess Ning looked at Xiao Tao and Tangxin with a serious face, "You are both fourteen years old this year, if you follow the master, you will have to wait until your early twenties to get married, can you afford to wait?" ”
Xiao Tao and Tangxin took a step forward, "If you go back to your master, the two of us are fellow villagers, and we both have a marriage match, so it's okay to marry in our early twenties." ”
"That's fine, let's go." Princess Ning nodded in satisfaction.
……
Late at night, Jiang Zhimian sat at the table in a daze.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and a crisp breath came through the half-open window.
Jiang Zhimian didn't even raise his eyelids, and said directly to the door, "Why are you here, it's a big night, didn't you say that it's better to see each other less before getting married?" ”
Chi Mohan entered the room in response and put a rosewood carved food box on the table.
Zhan's black eyes fell on Jiang Zhimian's cheeks, "It's not that you don't come, and it's not that you won't be allowed to come." ”
"If you come less, it's better not to come," Jiang Zhimian pouted, and his attention was diverted by the food box in the next second, "What's delicious inside?" ”
"Concubine Gao said that you like the pastries in her palace, so let me bring you some." Chi Mohan said and opened the food box.
The mountains of all kinds of pastries are piled up, and they look very appetizing.
But Jiang Zhimian was picky, and only chose the smallest one, and looked left and right in his hand, "That was when the queen mother was deceived, in fact, the pastries in the palace are not very delicious, and sometimes they are not as good as the snacks on the street." ”
It's like going to a big hotel to eat Boston lobster, not necessarily having to step on the trash can at a food stall to kill three pounds of crayfish.
"Princess Ning took you to choose a wedding maid today?" Chi Mohan changed the topic again.
Jiang Zhimian nodded, "Yes, I chose two, called Xiao Tao and Sugar Heart, both of whom can needlework, if you have the same heart as me, you will definitely be able to help me a lot in the future." ”
After a pause, his eyes were a little puzzled, "But Princess Ning specially asked about their marriage match, why?" Can't you be a maid after you get married? ”
"Well, but I don't think Princess Ning asked because of this." Chi Mohan replied.
"What's the reason for that?" Jiang Zhimian asked again.
Chi Mohan looked at her like a torch, "It's because I'm afraid that someone will take away your husband, so I put an end to this." ”
Oh, it turned out that I was afraid that the marrying maid would change the concubine~
Jiang Zhimian directly waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid at all." ”
