Chapter 25: House Slaves
Yan Qingge couldn't help but break up, pressed Mama Xiang on the chair, and called the four little maids to him.
"This grandmother in my hospital has an old problem with shoulder pain. Give each of you a cup of tea time, if she shouts yes, that means you can serve your sister. If she's not satisfied, don't blame me for finding a new girl for my sister-in-law to take your place. ”
These little girls are the same age as Yan Shuyu, seven or eight years old, with a milky smell and dry smell, how much strength can they have. Mama Xiang was already sluggish, and the four of them took turns pinching her, and she didn't know what was going on, of course she wouldn't say a good word.
In this case, the matter of stuffing people in Yan Shuyu's house has been decided. Fortunately, Yan Qingge didn't say anything about driving the rest away, so these maids and women didn't shout out because they estimated their own interests.
In the afternoon, when the sun was slightly westerly, Yan Qingge had just taken a nap, and Ruyi came in with a smile and said, "Miss, hurry up and go out to have a look, the housekeeper sent someone here, saying that you should pick it first." ”
Aunt Hai is not there, Yan Qingge has been gaining momentum recently, and the housekeeper naturally scolds her tightly, and when she wants to give it away, she also said a lot of good things to Ruyi, which makes Ruyi so happy.
Yan Qingge showed a wicked smile: "I'll pick first?" I want to see if there are any people in our Yan family's house slaves who dare to say big things for me to pick and choose. ”
In the hall, warblers and swallows stood in a room.
The Yan family's house slaves added up to only a few hundred, and there were only six girls between seven and ten years old, all of whom were sent.
The girls on the Zhuangzi didn't grow up in restraint, they were bold. Although he was wearing patched clothes and a wooden hairpin ring on his head, his eyes were very flexible, and he was instigating around the house, and he couldn't move away when he saw good things.
Their eyes are so similar to Zhao's mother, Yan Qingge was irritable when she saw it, she was afraid that they had been told by the family before they were sent, and when they got the monthly money and got the reward, they would supplement the family.
"You all sign up, and then talk about how many people in the family like to do and eat on weekdays." Yan Qingge sat on the soft couch and said lazily.
A girl in green clothes strode out and said excitedly: "Miss, my name is Yu Hua'er, I am nine years old this year, I have my father and grandmother at home, and then my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and a younger brother who is not married, and my sister is married to the second son of the Hu family on Zhuangzi as a daughter-in-law." I like to serve the eldest lady the most on weekdays, and I like to eat the most...... I like to eat rice the most. ”
Yan Qingge showed a mocking smile on his face, this hasn't started to serve her yet, his hobby has become like this, and he has a lot of eyes, which shows that he is not sincere.
The rest of the girls listened, their faces were full of chagrin, and they all blamed themselves for being one step slower, and their best hobby was snatched away by Yu Huaer.
The rest of the few do the same, some like to beat the eldest lady's legs, some like to help the eldest lady walk, some like to serve the eldest lady to eat, and some like to serve the eldest lady to wear clothes and jewelry...... Listening to Yan Qing's song, his head became bigger.
If she really accepts this group of unruly people, she will only have a worse time in the future.
Rubbing his temples, Yan Qingge sneered: "Okay, okay, you guys are loyal." What a pity, there is no shortage of dressers, eaters, and jewelry in my house. However, there is a lack of people who pour night incense to wash the toilet, catch a mouse and take Huang Daxian'er, and there is a lack of a person who digs a mud pond in winter. Look, who wants to stay and do it? ”
When these girls heard this, the expressions on their faces froze. To do all this buried work, it is better to go back to Zhuangzi and farm.
Yan Qingge smiled to himself: "As for me, this person is the laziest and the most kind. Let's say it first, I don't force me to stay if I don't want to come in, if I want to come in, I have to change my name, what Yu Huaer, Hu Duoer's, I can't remember, the toilet washer was renamed Yexiang, the mouse catcher was renamed Weasel, and the name of the mud pond was the best, called mud. ”
The faces of the six girls below are about to crack, and they absolutely should never follow this weird and terrible eldest lady. If the name is really called Nightshade, Weasel, and Mud, how will I see people in the future?
Seeing that these girls were about to cry, Yan Qingge said lightly: "You guys go down and think about it for a while." In addition to me today, my sister-in-law also wants to be a maid. Tell me who you would like to go with, in a moment. Then with a wave of his hand, he asked a few maids to take them to the Zhuyu Courtyard to have a look.
Ruyi endured a smile behind Yan Qingge, and when everyone went out, he spoke out happily and said, "Miss, you have a lot of ideas, now see if they dare to enter our yard." ”
The girl in this line had a sad face, and when she arrived at the Zhuyu Courtyard, her face collapsed when she saw the small courtyard inside. Compared to the beautiful courtyard and spacious big house of Qingxing Garden, this place is simply a heaven and an underground.
Although someone in the family told them to talk to Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu when they came, it was very common to see where their mothers lived.
Aunt Hai was not at home, and there was no master in front of her, these little girls let down their guard, and told the maid in Aunt Hai's yard what happened to Yan Qingge just now.
Hearing those maids, it was a burst of laughter. This eldest lady is obviously not kind to other girls, no wonder Aunt Hai always tells them that the eldest lady is unkind.
It didn't take long for them to know about Yan Qingge's bullying of Aunt Hai's mother and daughter before. After the descriptions of these servants, the skinny eldest lady became a demon in their hearts.
A lot of rumors about Yan Qingge in the Yan Mansion were released by Aunt Hai's Zhuyu Courtyard. Today they took out these things again, and made these girls feel that the eldest lady is not good, and they recognize the second miss. It is refreshing to chew the root of the tongue behind his back, but now he is lifting a stone to hit his own feet.
After walking around, these girls saw the housekeeper and insisted that they would all follow the second lady.
When the housekeeper heard this, he felt that it was tricky, and it couldn't be done with such a distribution. It's a pity that no matter how much you persuade them, these girls won't let go. I'd rather go to Aunt Hai to be a rough girl than follow the eldest lady Yan Qingge.
At this moment, Ruyi came over with a smile and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Yan Xi, the eldest lady said that since the house slaves of the Yan Mansion don't like to follow her, they only like to follow the second miss, and she is not forced to stay." These six were all given to the second lady, and she has enough people to serve now. This time, Uncle Yan Xi bothered, these broken silvers are the tea money that the eldest lady gave you for your hard work. As he spoke, he handed over a purse.
Yan Xi weighed it, there were about two coins of silver in it, which was more refreshing than the reward given by the master, and he was happy in his heart, no longer entangled in this matter, and waved his hand: "Okay, you all go to the courtyard of the second lady." ”
After a while, the Zhuyu Courtyard ushered in the vast six farming girls from the Zhuangzi, and their eyebrows were overjoyed. Just now, in order to demote Yan Qingge to the mud, the maid and mother-in-law of Zhuyu Courtyard did not bother Yan Shuyu's mother and daughter for comparison. Now they rejoiced and lived a good life.
Seeing these girls, the maids and women of Zhuyu Courtyard were dumbfounded, how could they be born now, there were fifteen people living in the three wings, plus six, but it was really crowded!
Yan Xi had just finished dealing with the affairs of the six maids, smiling and carrying the money bag, thinking about whether to drink a cup at night, when he was stopped by a panting little girl.
"Steward Yan, Aunt Hai has come back from her mother's house, and the carriage and horse are about to arrive at Yan's house, she called someone to report, saying that she wants to enter through the front door, and tells us to hurry up and remove the threshold."
Yan Xi's face sank suddenly, and he slapped the little guy's face: "Useless things, why did you tell me." What's the use of asking me, go and tell the master. ”
Yan Mansion is a family of lords, living in the inner city, the vermilion lacquer gate is two zhang high, usually the lord is not serious, only from the side door in and out.
This Aunt Hai is so majestic, not to mention entering from the main gate, she has to remove the threshold, and she is an official of several products! Yan Xi couldn't settle down on this matter, so he had to call someone to inform Yan Songnian.
In the study of Qingxingyuan, the beast spits incense, and the bead curtain hangs low.
Yan Qingge lay in front of the window of the study, looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake, carrying a heavy wolf in his hand, he drew two strokes when he wanted to, and when he didn't want to move, he put down his pen to tease the little birds flying through the window and look at the good spring.
"Miss, Aunt Ying is here, saying that she is looking for you to see the material, so that she can sew a summer shirt for you." Ruyi gently pushed the door in and made a notification.
"She has a heart, she just said it in the morning, and she found it in the afternoon." Yan Qingge grinned, walked out, and thought for a while: "I remember that my mother has a lot of material in the library, and it has been put for a long time to be eaten by insects. Pick up two horses and send them, one of them is of a tender color, and ask her to make me a garment, and the other is a little old, and give them a gift. ”
Ruyi said "hey" and went down.
After carefully washing the brush and spreading the unfinished paintings on the table to dry, Yan Qingge went out leisurely.
Ruyi had already carried two horses of material on the table and waited with Aunt Ying.
"I've seen the eldest lady." Aunt Ying saluted Yan Qingge gently and respectfully, more arrogant than Aunt Hai, I don't know how many times it is pleasing to the eye, then took out a stack of papers, handed it to Yan Qingge, and said softly: "Miss, take a look, which one you like." ”
Yan Qingge took a look, and saw that each piece of paper was painted with a fine white sketch of the villain, and his eyebrows seemed to be Yan Qingge, and the clothes on his body were different, all of them were light and elegant styles, and at first glance they were the unique clothes of Jiangnan.
Before she was reborn, these clothes had already spread to the north, but in the current north, they were still very fresh.
She picked it at random, pointed to a set of magnolia loose flower gauze and said, "That's it." ”
Aunt Ying smiled and said, "Miss is really a good eye." It just so happens that the fabric on the table today is a silver-white soft smoke, and the eldest lady's complexion is white, so it must be very suitable after wearing it. The eldest lady has chosen, and the slave and maid will go back first. On the master's side, I don't know how my sister coaxed. ”
Her last sentence meant something, and Yan Qingge realized that she was not just here to beg for information, and asked, "What's wrong with my father?" ”
