Chapter 78: The Wind Rises
This scheming maid is the oldest of the six, already sixteen, born in the first month, the posture of a middleman, Chun Gui talked to her a few words, knowing that she is not only literate, but also can read the accounts, and even trained the little girl in the mother's yard in the past, and is good at not only grooming?
Lan Ting also nodded a few words of Chun Gui: "This maid can only be called beautiful, but she can be selected by Mrs. Gongshun Hou as a close attendant, she should be planned to cultivate her as a cronie, although she is scheming, but as long as Huihui can submit her, she may not be able to win loyalty." β
The word "work in scheming" is very subtle, whether it is good or bad is often the difference between a line, whether this maid can use it or not, it can be said that it depends on whether the spring return can be surrendered.
There were six more maids at once, the first thing was to name them, Chungui picked up a book of poetry on the side of the couch, turned to a page, and set the title according to the age of the maids, from oldest to smallest.
The name of "scheming" is called Qingping.
The other five are named Xigu, Tai'a, Baixia, Chenggao, and Shen.
Lan Ting quickly woke up: "Is it Song Yu's style to choose a name?" β
Chungui said: "I'm lazy." β
Lan Ting said: "It's so lazy. He asked again: "The names of Mei Jealous and Ju Shame are also chosen by Huihui?" β
"It was taken by Daddy." The spring return was intentionally not explained.
"This should be from Li Yi'an's words, Mei Ding is jealous, Ju should be ashamed, and the opening of the painting column crowns the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Exactly, Mother Song's favorite thing is osmanthus, so Daddy named them after their sisters with the word osmanthus of Yi'an Jushi, and it happened to be the two of them, one at the end of August, and the other at the end of August, with a difference of two years in the middle."
She was the daughter of a tenant, and once she also earned some money by serving the girls of the owner's family, but she didn't think that her father died of illness, and her younger brother was still young, and he couldn't support the family by selling his labor, and her mother was ruthless, so she sold her into slavery.
Tai'a, Baixia and Chenggao are also from poor portals, and they have learned some eyebrows and eyes from Yapo.
If you want to talk about ups and downs, you should go into the deepest for the most.
She was the daughter of the county order, her mother died early, she was an only daughter, but she was regarded as the pearl of her palm by her father, afraid that she would be aggrieved, and refused to marry again, but she didn't expect that when she was five years old, her father was convicted of a fire in the grain depot under the jurisdiction of the county, and the crime was not enough to die, but it was necessary to compensate for the loss of the imperial court, but the father of the deep was born in a poor family, and he was still a clean official, where to pay so much money, and in a hurry, he died of illness, the family property was confiscated, and the family was not a slave.
Fortunately, before the father of the deep was born, there was a favor to a man in the market, that person later ran to buy and sell, and also made some money, I heard that the daughter of the father of the king was sold, and went to the door to buy the deep home, and told the wife of the family, this is the daughter of the father, must be raised with heart, can not be regarded as a parent, to be regarded as a noble, the family and the young must be respected.
That man is a righteous man who knows how to repay his kindness, but the wife of the family is narrow-minded, the righteous man is everywhere because of the business, where did he think that his wife will be treated harshly in the depths, and he blindly forbears, unwilling to expose the words and deeds of the wife, but he did not expect that later, seeing that the deep is getting closer and closer, the wife is afraid that she will rob her daughter's marriage, and she will sell it while the righteous man is not at home.
These things are not the spring return that I told myself, but when the tooth woman told it, she was quite embarrassed: "When we took in this woman, although I also inquired about her life experience, only she was a family member of a criminal official and had been degraded to slavery, and it was not against the law for the mother-in-law to resell her, and I couldn't find fault with it." She is a gracious child, and the mother-in-law treated her like this, and even the slave family was angry, and gave her an idea, saying that when the righteous man who sheltered her returned to Fenzhou, she exposed the inconsistency of the mother-in-law's words and deeds, and the child actually said, 'If there is no family master's protection, where is the slave now?', he refused to listen. β
Lan Ting's comment at the time was - Ya Po and other characters, accustomed to seeing joys and sorrows, are really hard-hearted as iron, and can actually be deeply moved, it seems that this Xing is really a person worthy of pity.
Chungui's opinion is no different, so she is also quite concerned about Jinshen, knowing that although she has suffered a lot of difficulties and torture over the years, she can still be familiar with the four books and five classics, but because she has no teacher to teach her, she can't understand the meaning of literature.
asked carefully, and Chun Gui knew that although the righteous man knew kindness and righteousness, he was indeed a reckless man, and he also wanted to give her the treatment of a noble daughter, but he couldn't do it, and he had to run around to maintain the family business, so he really had more than enough heart but not enough strength. But in his understanding, into the deep is the daughter of the county order, and the cloth cloth is different from the people, feel that at least let into the deep know the book Dali, he didn't know the way, had to buy some books, handed to the deep, the book is often mixed with silk jewelry and sent home, the wife only attaches importance to wealth, and does not care about books, so into the deep can keep the only "property" handed to her by the righteous man, relying on his father's enlightenment back then, the knowledge rote memorization in the mind.
Chungui asked her, "You really don't complain about that woman at all?" β
"The slave and maid don't even know what kind of favor the father has for the old master, the old master only says that he is grateful for his kindness, and he does treat the slave and the maid very well, although the old master mother said...... But the slave and maid can grow up safely, and they are also protected by the old master's mother, if it were not for the old master, the slave and maid may have entered the ...... of the workshop."
When the spring returned, it was observed that Qingping was treated very well.
In short, it seems that some people love the charm of flowers and flowers.
Mother Song is sincerely glad for the addition of the "Fengfu Six Maids": "This is all the uncle's heart to the grandmother, it is intended to let the grandmother cultivate usable people, according to the old slave, these handmaidens have their own strengths, and their qualifications are better than Mei jealousy and Ju Xi, if the grandmother asks Guo's mother to adjust the dial, in the future, when she arrives at the Taishi Mansion in Beiping, there will finally be a few people who can be used by her side." β
But Chun Gui had a different opinion: "Qingping and the other six can't be disciplined by Guo's mother, but should be restrained by your mother." β
"But where does the old slave understand the rules of the Taishi Mansion?"
"Mom doesn't have to think about the Taishi Mansion, but before we go back to Beiping, I have to let the six of them know what rules I have." Chungui analyzed: "If it's just a few slaves and maids who are familiar with the Taishi Mansion, why bother to buy and hire them from Fenzhou?" Uncle's intention is to let these people really be used by me, so I can't let them obey Mother Guo. β
Otherwise, just let Guo's mother choose a few slaves and maids from the state government, and still have such a setback?
However, there are six more servants and maids in the family, of course Mrs. Shen still has heard of it, and when she returned to dinner with her in the spring of this day, Mrs. Shen mentioned: "I heard that Chun'er bought six maids again?" I just wanted to remind you! In the past, Da Lang was not often in the inner house, but when he lived in the outer courtyard, his grandfather was very strict, and Da Lang did not have a maid to serve in the outer courtyard. It's just that in the courtyard of the inner house, there seemed to be four at first, and then married two, whether to leave two or one, I don't know who left, in a word, that is, there are few people who can be used, the old lady of the family, now I also know that Da Lang came to Fenzhou, and then returned to Beiping is a person who has a wife, not as good as before, and will definitely put some more people......"
Mrs. Shen didn't speak, but was stopped by Guo's mother coughing a few times.
Spring Return: ......
However, Mrs. Shen still broke away from Guo's mother, holding Chungui's hand as if she were holding her own good sister: "Let me tell you, the old lady in the family is not a kind person, even my family background, she is still picky, raising her eyebrows and raising her eyes all day long...... I have never been the master of the family affairs in the Taishi Mansion, and the affairs of the inner house are now in charge of Brother Ting'er's second aunt. β
Since Chungui married into the Zhao family, he finally listened to Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law, and introduced the personnel of the Taishi Mansion in a free way, the point is that the old lady is a person who is not easy to get along with, and the second wife is the old lady's dog......
Just as she was talking energetically, Guo's mother turned around again and reported an "amazing" news!
ββYin Xiaomei's Fu Shui that she took from Mo Wen finally made a move, and the buyer was the master's concubine Aunt Lu, and the price was two taels of silver.
Mrs. Shen was thirsty for knowledge: "Chun'er, you can't hide it from me, don't ask if the rune water is effective?" That little cheap hoof, he must want to ask for a child! β
Spring Returns Again: ......
Okay, Mo Wenxiao said that although he didn't learn the true bones of the Xiaoyao Immortal, he also learned the fur, the talisman water made by him, and he couldn't eat the dead, maybe it also had the effect of cooling off the heat and dampness, and if he didn't drink it often, it was harmless, as for blessing people to give birth to sons......
Hehe, how is that possible.
But Chungui can't say it so directly.
Fortunately, I can still be in a hurry-
"The price of two taels of silver should not be." What's more, Yin Xiaomei also made a fortune from it, and the cost of the so-called rune water is pitiful!
