Thinking about Qiao Mei and smiling slightly, "It's okay, if you want to add another girl, you have to pass a word to your mother, and then you have to meet the eyes of worship, otherwise it will be my sin if you don't get along." ”

Bai Yue sniffed, his eyes were full of emotion, "Yes......"

The sun was scorching outside, and it was noon. Qiao Mei stayed for a while, and then took the servants back to the main courtyard of Fuxiu Courtyard.

Today, Qiao Mei did not go to Qingping Yuan to have dinner with the Zhou family, since Jingguo Gong went to Nanzhou with the prince to come back for disaster relief, Emperor Zhaoren ordered that he did not need to go back to Beizhou to take Qiao Yi's position, but directly circled him in the capital to give him a non-trivial official position.

Now that Jing Guogong is very idle, he naturally has to accompany the Zhou family more on weekdays, and of course Qiao Mei can't go over to disturb them.

Put down the chopsticks in her hand, and immediately a maid came forward to bring water to Qiao Mei to rinse her hands and clean her hands, Qiao Mei looked at her, the little girl looked smart, but her eyebrows were smooth and respectful.

In fact, she didn't think about the matter of worshipping the moon just now, but since the fall into the water last year, Zhou has been particularly attentive to her maid selection. Although those servants didn't confess that time, she still thought that they had two hearts and were instructed by others.

Therefore, the two of them were selected from Zhuangzi after a month of secret observation by Mama Lin.

Qiao Mei wiped her hands with the maidservants, and said, "I ordered to go down in the past few days, and let the kitchen prepare more soup and send it to the worship." ”

The servants all respectfully complied.

-

After a few days, after the worship was in good health, Qiao Mei asked people to gather the maids in the courtyard, whether they were sprinkling or serving.

It's just that when the servants were all gathered together, Mama Lin suddenly came to Fuxiu Courtyard and took Qiao Mei away.

Immediately, the girl in the yard muttered.

"Zhu'er, I heard Sister Baiyue's tone and said that the fourth girl wanted to raise two of us to be first-class maidservants!" It was a girl who was not good-looking, she covered her mouth and said secretly, with some excitement on her face.

Although she said quietly, she still let the person next to her listen, and a slender man raised his voice and sneered at her: "Lingxiu, don't you also think that the girl can choose you!" She also talked to the people around her, "She is a sprinkler girl, I don't know how many times worse than us second- and third-class maids!" Sister Ruxue, Sister Rulan, you say yes? ”

Her latter sentence had a bit of flattery, Ruxue and Rulan were second-class maids, and they were also people who could show their faces in front of Qiao Mei, so Yuan'er felt that she must pick the two of them.

"How did the girl decide, where is your turn to talk here?" Ruxue is a cold girl, she is straight and indifferent when she says this, and she doesn't give half of her face.

"...... you" Yuan'er glared, but she didn't dare to scold her out loud, so she only sobbed and cried.

Lingxiu, who was originally ridiculed by her, saw her hiding her face and crying, so she hesitated to go over to comfort her, but was pulled by the beads beside her, and she shook her head disapprovingly at Lingxiu.

Ruxue shook her hand, quietly in a cold state, but Rulan walked over to gently comfort Yuan'er, she had a smile in her eyes but a little sarcasm, "Don't cry, how about seeing the girl when she comes back?" Ruxue is right, how to arrange it is the girl's business, how can you and I be allowed to put your beak? ”

Yuan'er took the handkerchief in her hand, and cried even more after listening to Rulan's persuasion, her small mouth sobbed: "Sister Rulan, even you say that about me?" Then I'm not alive! So saying, she was about to crash into the apricot tree to the west.

As soon as Rulan's hand was released, she was stunned on the spot, none of the girls next to her stopped her, and when Yuan'er turned her head again, she saw Rulan looking at her with a smile.

By the side of the altar where a circle of flowers and plants was planted, Qiao Mei quietly watched the scenes in the yard, Zhou shook his head, and his tone was a little resolute: "That girl in emerald clothes can't keep your yard anymore, I don't know how thick the sky is!" You are going to enter the East Palace, isn't it child's play to deal with those nobles in the palace? What if one day her careless words affect you? ”

Zhou is talking about Mandarin Ducks. Just listening to the second half of her sentence, Qiao Mei looked at her with some surprise, and Zhou asked, "What's wrong?" Do you think it's wrong? ”

Shaking his head, Qiao Mei smiled, "Mother is right!" That's what my daughter wants. ”

"Okay, your mother and I don't care about the people in your yard. When you're older, you should learn to recognize people and make them really useful to you. Zhou patted Qiao Mei's hand, nodded and smiled. After that, she left Mama Lin and took the maids back to Qingping Courtyard.

Only Qiao Mei was a little crying and laughing, the previous life and this life were added together, she was afraid that she was older than the Zhou family!

There are two first-class maidservants in the Fuxiu Courtyard, two second-class, four third-class, and four sprinkler girls.

However, Qiao Mei has always been lenient to his subordinates, so except for the first-class maidservants, the division of labor among the other maids is not very clear.

Qiao frowned and stepped into the courtyard.

"What are you yelling about!" Mama Lin took the lead in bluffing and reprimanded loudly.

"Girl—" The maidservants all knelt down, whether they had tears on their faces or gloating in their eyes, they all bowed their heads - after all, no one wanted to give Qiao Mei a bad impression at this juncture.

And the hearts of the people were overflowing. If you can be promoted to a first-class maidservant, not to mention the monthly monthly silver, the mother-in-law and girls in the kitchen don't want to show them their faces anymore!

Qiao Mei gently lifted her skirt and sat on the splendid rattan chair that Bai Yue moved for her, and Bai Qing held an umbrella for her to shade the sun, and Qiao Mei didn't say anything to let them get up.

After a while, some of the maids began to kneel down, and there were some broken stones under their knees, which pierced people very much.

Mama Lin got Qiao Mei's eyes, and began to lecture: "Why, isn't Fang Cai making a fuss?" Can't stand it after only kneeling for half an hour? She had a whip in her hand and circled around the servants.

Suddenly, she stopped, raised her hand and jerked it down!

"Ahh only dizzy for a moment, she immediately came to her senses, and Yuan'er even turned around and snorted, "Mama forgive the sin...... The girl forgives her sins...... "Her tears were in her eyes, and she did not dare to fall.

The rest of the little maidens trembled, their heads lowered, and they did not dare to move their bodies despite the pain under their knees.

Mama Lin waved her hand, and immediately two mothers-in-law with round shoulders and thick waists dragged the mandarin ducks down.

"On the day you entered the Fuxiu Courtyard, the eldest lady set up rules and regulations for everyone! One of the most important ones - don't talk about the master! Mama Lin knocked the horsewhip in her hand, "I see that some people have forgotten now." ”

The maidservants replied in unison, "Slaves and maids don't dare!" ”

Mama Lin squinted her eyes and continued: "You probably know what happened to the girls who caused the girl to fall into the water before. Look at this person today, what do you think she is going to do? ”

Everyone looked at each other, as if they saw the end of the mandarin, and couldn't help but tremble.

"And you!"
