Chapter 914: The New Handmaiden

The people of Tianci Town are very happy, the mountains produce more, especially the flower fields. There are also a lot of wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, which have been harvested for almost three seasons since spring, and it would be a waste if no one bought them.

The acquisition of the Princess Mansion solved a large part of their problems, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the output of several mountains. So Ji Bo is in charge, and he will start to negotiate sales for Tianci Town in the new year, petals and fruits can be used as snacks, and sweet wine can also be brewed, and many restaurants and teahouses in Shangdu City are willing to ask for it. has the signboard of a god-given princess, and the market is not worried.

There is no need to worry about the manpower arrangement in the house, Ji Bo can be placed very well alone, and there is Wu Po in charge of things in the big kitchen, which is very reassuring. She only ordered two little girls to be her own attendants, and asked Bai Yanyu to choose a close attendant, and then left a few watering and rough cleaning in the courtyard where Bai Yanyu lived, and let Ji Bo arrange the distribution of the other courtyards by himself.

The new maid wants to take a new name, which is a rule, which means that she has a new beginning with the new master, and it also means that she is completely cut off from the past, and she never thinks about it again.

Bai He ran Bai Yanyu and the two sat in the front hall of the Forgotten Worry Courtyard, looking at the three maids standing in front of them. These three maids are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are not good-looking, but they are better than their eyebrows and eyes, their skin is fair, and they look clean and refreshing.

Bai Yanyu felt very satisfied, that is, how the character depends on the follow-up relationship, and the quality slowly. Ji Bo has only passed the first level, and the words of the people can't be believed or fully believed, and it is estimated that when I hear it, what kind of origin and origin of the woman can say that the sky is blooming. But there is always a half-sentence in it that is true, and it depends on guessing.

Bai Heran looked at the three of them for a while, opened his mouth first, and asked: "The housekeeper said that the identity that your wife gave you is the maid of a scholarly family, and you were sold because the main family made a taboo and was raided." I don't believe this very much, so I want to hear from you yourselves, what was your origin before you were sent to the hands of men? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and one of the taller ones curted his knees and replied, "You must not dare to lie to the butler of the princess's mansion, so she is most likely right." But there is only one ......" She looked at Bai Heran timidly, and then turned her head to look at the girl standing beside her, and sighed softly for a while: "Only two of the three slaves and maids are maids, and the one standing in the middle is the young lady from the former house, and we are all waiting for the young lady." ”

As soon as these words came out, the one in the middle directly soured his nose, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe his tears, but found that he didn't pinch the handkerchief in his hand, so he had to give up and put it down again without embarrassment.

Bai Heran glanced at her hand, the woman's ten fingers were slender, the shape of the nails was very beautiful, but they were only beautiful, the nails were trimmed very short, the hands were a little rough, and there were even cracks on the backs of the hands.

Bai Yanyu sighed softly on the side, looked at her hands, and suddenly felt very satisfied. Although the life in the Bai family was aggrieved, the Bai family never treated her too badly. Even if her life is not as rich as Bai Jinghong in the past, at least she has grown up from a pampered child to now that she is so old, and now in the rouge workshop, no matter how good rouge gouache can be used by her, and her hands are protected like mutton fat jade.

People are afraid of comparison, and this comparison, her heart is much more balanced. But when I think about the days when the white cranes were dyed in the past, it was a little unbalanced. But unbalanced is unbalanced, and I always have a little more sympathy for the broken lady in front of me.

"The noble lady who is used to making clothes to stretch out her hands for food to open her mouth, may be used to waiting for people?" The words were asked by Hakuzuru.

The young lady raised her eyes to look at Hakuzuru and nodded, "I've been used to it for a long time." I...... Slaves and maids, slaves and maids are special care of their mothers-in-law, and their mother-in-law is a slave seller, so they must train everyone in their hands to be qualified slaves before they can be sold at a good price. Therefore, as soon as the slave and maid arrived at the woman's place, they began to do hard labor, and all the things that the subordinates should do were to be done from beginning to end every day, getting up before dawn, not resting until it was dark, one meal a day, two bowls of water. At first, I was really uncomfortable, but after doing it for more than half a year, I slowly got used to it. Maybe the slave maid is still not as good as the two of them, but as long as the princess can stay, the slave and maid will definitely be willing to study hard. When she said this, she knelt down directly, "The slave has enjoyed fine clothes and food, and has also experienced exile from the house, and now she doesn't ask for anything, she just wants to live well." begged the princess to take it in, and begged the princess to give the slave and maid a place to live. ”

As soon as she knelt, the two people on the side also knelt, but as soon as these two knelt, they knelt so much that Bai Herian frowned and shook his head slightly.

Bai Yanyu also shook her head, "No, in your hearts, she is your master, and when she kneels, you will kneel with you, so in the future, will you serve us together, or will this young lady serve us, and you will serve this young lady?" She spread her hands and said to Bai Heran, "Second sister, let's find someone again, this is really not good." ”

The three girls were dumbfounded, and the young lady in the middle panicked at that time, and immediately knelt forward and climbed two steps forward to kowtow to Bai Heran: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you really can't take me in, just take me and my two maids!" They have been with me since I was a child, and I originally said that I would send them to get married, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the family and implicate them. I know it's rare to meet such a good errand in the princess's mansion, so I ask the princess to keep the two of them, and I'll leave, is this okay? ”

The two maids behind him cried when they heard this, "Okay, the three of us will serve the master's family together, and the young lady will not keep us or us, please let the princess stay with us, we will only listen to you alone in the future, and we are willing to do any work." ”

"Either the princess only leaves my young lady, our two maids are fine, we can find other jobs, ask Her Royal Highness the princess to keep our young lady, although she waits for people poorly, but she is knowledgeable, can write and paint, and is especially good at cooking tea. Miss left her to be a maid who cooks tea, and beg the princess, the slaves and maids have kowtowed to you. ”

After the maid said this, she really kowtowed again, and the thumping sound made Bai Heran twitch in his heart.

This ancient servile consciousness is too strong, many people are a servant for one day and a servant for life, even if the owner changes, many people will remember the original master in their hearts. Except, of course, what is particularly bad for her.

She looked at the three people in front of her and sighed in her heart. She can be infinitely fierce with her enemies, but she can't always see this kind of joys and sorrows, and life is miserable. Sometimes she always thinks that everyone in the poisonous vein family is tough-hearted, and her father Bai Xing can treat his wife and daughter like that, where did her soft heart come from?

Maybe it's the opposite, or maybe it's empathy, because no matter in her past life or this life, she has experienced too much of the world's hot and cold people's betrayal and separation, and she knows how helpless and lonely people can be in such a predicament. So she always can't do it, she can always think that she was in that situation at the beginning, and someone had helped her, whether it was in her previous life or this life, whether it was Ah Heng or the four of them, whether it was the old lady and the Hong family, there were people who silently supported her and helped her get out of the predicament.

So when she sees others like this, if they are not great evil people, what if they pull a hand?

"That's it." Bai Heran sighed again, and then asked the young lady, "In addition to calligraphy, painting and cooking tea, what else do you have?" ”

The young lady saw that things were turning around, and immediately laughed, and said loudly: "I will also serve flowers and plants, and I will make snacks with flower petals." I learned the craft of tending with flowers and plants from my mother, and I learned the craft of making dim sum by myself for many years. Because my father held books all day long, and even spent less time with me, he would only smile at me when he ate the snacks I brought......" she was caught up in the memories of the past, "I thought at that time, if I gave more snacks and made more snacks that my father loved to eat, then he would have more hours to put down his books and look at me more." So I spent most of my day studying the recipe of dim sum, and over the years, the craftsmanship was not comparable to that of the royal kitchen, but I thought it was better than the dim sum shops and restaurants outside. ”

Hakuzuru nodded, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Jinshu." After a pause, there was sadness on his face again, "I won't mention the surname, there is no more, and there will be no one in the future." ”

Bai Heran didn't ask, but said: "Okay, Jinshu, there is a flower and grass maid in my yard, named Camellia, you stay, first follow Camellia to serve flowers and plants, I have a small kitchen in this courtyard, if you have spare time, make a few snacks every day, give me food, and give it to the third lady and the two young masters who live here temporarily." As for the rest, take your time. ”

Jinshu was so happy that she began to kowtow again, and she hurriedly stopped: "Don't kowtow, your forehead is red and it doesn't look good." Although he is a subordinate now, he should also have the dignity of a subordinate, don't knock. After saying that, he asked the other two, "What are your names?" ”

One of the maids said, "Please give the princess another name, for the former name means that the former is all gone." ”

"It's fine." Bai Heran thought for a while, and then asked the two of them, "When you used to wait for Jinshu in the old master's house, what were you good at?" Your old master should be a scholarly disciple, and presumably the maid of the scholarly disciple is also a little tainted. ”

The two maids nodded, and one of them said, "If you go back to the princess, the slave will make incense." ”

Another said, "The slave and maid are a little bit of medicine." ”

Bai Heran was a little surprised, "Still know medical science?" How do you learn to be healed when you serve people all day long? ”

The maid said: "The slave maid is a domestic slave in the old master's mansion, and she has followed the young lady since she was a child, from four to ten years old. Later, the lady was not in good health and needed more manpower, so the slave maid went to the lady to wait for five years. In those five years, the doctor came every day, prescribed medicine every day, and often instructed us slaves and maids what to do on weekdays, what to eat more for our wife, and taught us how to fry the medicine. I pondered for two years, then went to the Tao, and read a lot of medical books in private, and then the doctor said that even if he stopped being so diligent, I could take care of my wife's body well. Later, I was well adjusted, and I went back to Miss. I thought that the moon would be bright at home, but I didn't expect ......"

The girl couldn't talk anymore, and the tears fell again.
