Chapter 50: The Maid's Turmoil (1)
"That's right, a few of us will slowly get better and better!"
Gu Zheng nodded heavily, and held Zhen'er's hand tightly, she didn't say much about the sensational words next to her, only half-truths and half-truths smiled and promised: "Let's not talk about what good life you can live with me in the future, just for the friendship you sent me out of the house that day, I want you to be promoted to an official no matter whatβββ I will ask my grandmother to promote you to a first-class girl when I find an opportunity, anyway, I don't have a first-class maid in this house, it is just right to give the quota to the two of you!" β
As soon as Spoon heard that he would be promoted immediately, his eyes immediately widened excitedly, and he kept asking: "Promoted?" The girl just said that she wanted to be promoted to a slave and a first-class maid?! Is this true? Girl, you're so nice! Can...... Will Mrs. Ketai agree? β
"If you don't rise, who else can you promote? Don't worry, you have to stay with me all the time, how can you not be my big girl? Gu Zheng was in a much better mood after seeing Spoon and Zhen'er, so when she saw Spoon'er's eyes full of longing, she immediately teased her, pretended to be old and patted her shoulder a few times, and promised seriously: "Don't worry, the two sisters will follow me in the future, and you will have meat to eat, wine to drink, silver to take, and a husband to marry!" β
Gu Zheng's strange words made the spoon and the spoon instantly full of black lines, and the younger spoon was even more teased by Gu Zheng and only stomped his feet: "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" What kind of wine, meat, and husband...... It's not in shape! β
"Hey, hey, don't worry, I will do what I say, you just wait for the promotion to eat meat!" Gu Zheng is full of confidence in this, believing that as long as she tells Mrs. Tai about the spoon and the spoon in the snow that day, Mrs. Tai will definitely agree to mention them as big maids.
Sure enough, a few days later, when Gu Zheng went to Rongshoutang to greet Mrs. Tai, he mentioned this matter, and Mrs. Tai agreed: "According to what you say, the two little maids in your house are a good one, and it is appropriate to mention them as your eldest maids, but the two of them were originally just second-class maids, I am afraid that they are a little shallow and can't control the people below, and some things and rules are not understood by the experienced big maids." β
Gu Zheng saw that Mrs. Tai was worried, and immediately said good things for the spoon and the spoon: "It's okay, the qualifications will be boiled slowly!" If they don't understand the rules and don't know the rules, they can learn them slowly...... Grandmother, you will grant my request! β
"I think in addition to the two of them, you have to find a suitable first-class maid to be transferred to listen to the spring courtyard to serve you, and it is just right for your two maids to follow her in the place where she doesn't understand......" Mrs. Tai said and frowned tightly, as if she was searching for a suitable candidate in her mind.
And Gu Zheng now regards the spoon and the chopsticks as her own, so as soon as she heard that Mrs. Tai was going to go to Tingquan Courtyard to stuff another outsider over, she immediately pursed her lips and muttered sullenly: "Isn't there one of the spoons and chopsticks who can't be a big girl?" I boasted early on that Haikou had agreed with them, saying that I would definitely let them be promoted! My grandmother is a stopper, and I will lose my trust in them! β
Gu Zheng's pouting appearance made Mrs. Tai laugh "haha", and when she laughed enough, seeing that Gu Zheng was looking at herself awkwardly and expectantly, Mrs. Tai could only sigh helplessly and said: "Okay, good, then give them promotions and add months!" Grandmother allows you to have three first-class maids in the house, and anyway, you have to have four first-class maids sooner or later. β
It turned out that before the girls in Cen Mansion left the cabinet, there were only two first-class, second-class, and third-class maids around them, and only after they got married would they make up two more first-class maids, so that each girl had four first-class maids around them to marry. Mrs. Tai now promised to carry the spoon and the chopsticks as the first-class maids, and insisted on allocating another first-class maid to Gu Zheng, which can be regarded as giving Gu Zheng an extra first-class maid in advance.
Since Gu Zheng's goal of being a first-class maid has been achieved, she will not brush off Mrs. Tai's kindness, but only hugged Mrs. Tai's arm and thanked her: "Grandmother is really good to Wanwan, and she will definitely come to her grandmother as a pistachio every day after Wanwan!" β
"Okay...... Mrs. Tai first touched Gu Zheng's face lovingly, and then frowned tightly: "But I can't pick a suitable candidate at this time...... Where can I get a maid for you? It is better for this maid to serve by the side of several girls in the first place...... That way, she'll be able to train your two newly raised maids as soon as she goes to your house......"
Before Mrs. Tai had time to think carefully and choose a suitable maid for Gu Zheng, Cen Yuanniang and the others walked in surrounded by the maids, chattering and jogging to greet Mrs. Tai.
After Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, she raised her eyes and happened to see Cen Sanniang holding a cloak and standing quietly in the corner, unlike the big maid Liu'er who was competing for other maids to show up.
This lady has a good impression of Liu'er, she has always felt that she is a mature and stable maid, and she also understands that it is because of her service by Cen Sanniang's side that she did not let the pampered Cen Sanniang get into trouble every now and then.
However, Mrs. Tai now feels that Gu Zheng needs more than Cen Sanniang, a steady maid by her side to take care of her, plus this Liu'er is the eldest maid who serves the girl, and she is also very familiar with the girl's daily diet and daily life, words and deeds, treatment of people and other rules, so it is more appropriate for her to serve and remind Gu Zheng by her side......
And after allocating Liu'er to Gu Zheng, without worrying about others, Mrs. Luo will bother to make up one for Cen Sanniang herself, and she will definitely not be wronged by Cen Sanniang, nor will it cause her too much inconvenience.
So after thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Tai pointed to Liu'er and said to Cen Sanniang: "Three girls, if I remember correctly, there are three big girls in your house who are serving you now, right?" β
There were only Cen Sanniang in this mansion, and there were three big maids in the house, so when she saw Mrs. Tai's question, she immediately raised her chin proudly and replied: "Grandmother remembers correctly!" My mother loved me and was afraid that the people below would not serve me well, so she trained a big girl to serve me in my room. β
"There are only two big girls in your big sister and second sister's house, what do you want to do with so many little girls?" Mrs. Tai first smiled and nodded the tip of Cen Sanniang's nose, and then added without being salty: "It's better to call the Liu'er next to you first, Wanwan has just returned home, and there is just a lack of a big girl who understands the rules." β
Cen Sanniang has always been a rude and willful eldest lady, and she has always looked at Gu Zheng, an outsider, unpleasantly, how could she be willing to give her maid to Gu Zheng? Even if this maid is not the most liked by her, she refuses to give her to Gu Zheng!
Therefore, before Mrs. Tai's voice fell, Cen Sanniang pouted and complained with a dissatisfied face: "Grandmother, why do you want to call my maid to her?" Didn't she have a maid to call herself? I don't follow, and no one can snatch my maid away! They can only stay in my room and listen to me! β
Mrs. Tai knew that Cen Sanniang was spoiled by Mrs. Luo as a little rude and willful, so she didn't blame her for not knowing how to be polite, so she only coaxed her patiently and said: "Wanwan is your sister, you should take care of her as much as your eldest sister." β
Mrs. Luo on the side saw that Mrs. Tai insisted on snatching the person she trained from Cen Sanniang's side, and she was also unhappy: "Mother, it's enough for the two girls to have a spoon and a chop around Wanwan, right?" Didn't she have a good time when she was out there to serve no one? I still think that Sanniang's side is only three big girls are not enough, you will allocate Liu'er to Wanwan, and Sanniang's manpower is even more insufficient! β
It's good that Mrs. Luo didn't open her mouth to refute, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Tai glanced at her coldly, and simply finalized the matter: "Except for the three girls, the rest of the girls, which room is not only two big girls?" And so it was decided! Liu'er, you will move to Tingquan Courtyard immediately, and from now on you will not have to be an errand in the house of the third girl, and I will serve the cousin girl wholeheartedly. β
