Chapter 166: I don't love the eldest young master, only the eldest young grandmother
The small room in the inner courtyard is used for maids and women with heads and faces. The lower rooms in the outer courtyard are all paved, and only two people live in each room here.
The first-class maids live in a slightly more spacious place, and the second-class ones are a little smaller, but they are all carved beds and chairs, large wardrobes with dressing copper mirrors, new quilts on silk mattresses, floor-to-ceiling screens, and each person has a separate shower bucket behind the screen...... Even in winter, even the warm earth dragon is properly arranged.
It's not that Ning Xiang hasn't seen what the big lady's residence looks like, where is it better than here?
At that moment, he smiled and went back to Lao Tzuniang to show off.
Lao Qiu's heart was not so happy, but he didn't expect that the adult mother-in-law could get the favor of the eldest and young grandmothers and enter the inner courtyard in one fell swoop.
And his original position in this mansion was above these mothers-in-law, who knew that this mother-in-law had shit luck for a while, and she was above her head.
"Thank you for the favor of the young grandmother, the old woman is immoral and incompetent, and it is really scary to be promoted by the young grandmother...... "Mrs. Cheng did not rush back to clean up the bed like those happy maids, but waited until everyone left, stepped forward to thank Gui Mingyue, saying that she was thanking Xie but still wanted to explore the bottom.
When Mrs. Cheng said the words of thanks, there was indeed no superfluous expression on her face, and there was no much honor and excitement in her eyes, but more doubts and suspicions.
Jin Qi'er snorted coldly, hum, I don't know what to do, and Miss Fei's hard work is in vain.
Gui Mingyue smiled faintly, and did not take it seriously, but smiled and said: "Since I have used Grandma, I must believe in Grandma's ability." I also believe that after my grandmother follows me, she can do her best. ”
As she spoke, Gui Mingyue picked up a thin piece of rice paper on the table and handed it over. said, this is a meeting gift for grandma.
Mrs. Cheng took it suspiciously.
Leave the book?
This is a letter of resignation, although she is illiterate, but the word resignation is recognized.
Mrs. Cheng's hands were trembling, and she had a rough guess in her heart, which made her heart surge, and her palms were sweating.
"Grandma, this is ......" This time, Mrs. Cheng's face no longer had the previous calm, but with a little excitement and expectation.
"Grandma Cheng should have guessed it," Gui Mingyue said: "This is the Xue family's letter of resignation." ”
The Xue family is the family that her poor daughter married to. It is considered a distant relative of Mrs. Ji, and there are some forces in the local area. It's a pity that her aunt is a fool, and this fool beats her daughter's head and bleeds at every turn.
Once her daughter was beaten and couldn't stand it, so she asked someone to give it to Mrs. Cheng and his wife, thinking that the two went to the Xue family, but before they could make sense, they were kicked out, and they never let them meet their daughters again.
Over the years, Mrs. Cheng has been awakened by nightmares every night, dreaming of her poor child being tortured by that fool and losing his life.
"My daughter, she's still alive?" Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red as she spoke.
Gui Mingyue nodded and said, alive, but not very good.
In order to prevent her from escaping, the Xue family picked the hamstrings of her feet, but she was only in her twenties, and she was already yellow-faced and skinny.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"The great kindness of the young grandmother, I can't repay it as a mother-in-law, and I will definitely obey the life of the young grandmother in the future, and I will not hesitate to do it." Mrs. Cheng wiped away her tears and knocked her head three times.
Gui Mingyue got up and helped her up.
"Grandma, please get up quickly, and you will have to rely on Grandma for many things in the future."
Mrs. Cheng was not polite, she only nodded heavily, Gui Mingyue is full of young little maids here, that Jiang Grandma used to be a master of hairpin, where do you understand some of the twists and turns in this Hou Mansion. Since he is determined to follow the young grandmother, he naturally has to think about these things for the eldest and young grandmother.
In the end, Gui Mingyue gave Mrs. Cheng a few days to reunite with her daughter, and asked the tortoiseshell to follow her to see the poor woman.
Mrs. Cheng was grateful to Dade and retreated.
After successively promoting some maids, it is approaching the end of the year, and Yinzhu'er passed a message to the rest of the people for Gui Mingyue, probably not to be discouraged if they have not been promoted, as long as everyone works hard, after the New Year's Festival, the young grandmother will also select a few people among them to serve in the inner courtyard.
This made the people in the outer courtyard who were depressed and eager to try again.
"If you choose again, you can only be a third-class maid and a mother-in-law, but even if you do some rough work, as long as you enter the inner courtyard, it's good!" A little maid said expectantly.
"I heard that there isn't even a maid in the eldest young master's study, and it is likely that he will serve in the study during the New Year's Festival......."
"The eldest young master's study"
A few little maids couldn't help but blush a little.
Qingxiu, who has never been reused, flashed a glimmer of light in her eyes, and Shuyu on the side tightened the handkerchief in her hand......
"Cut, you unproductive, are you going to serve in the study, not to the bedroom, look at your spring hearts!" When Ning Xiang, the second-class maid in the inner courtyard with her head held high and her toes high, came in, she saw these shameless maids discussing.
Just because you also want to get in the way of our young grandmother's eyes?
I still want to serve the eldest young master, and when the time comes, a cruel look from the eldest young master will scare you out!
Yes, she Ning Xiang was once the one who was scared by the eldest young master.
Now coupled with the strict discipline of Yinshen'er, she no longer dares to have those obsessions before.
Her wish now is to save money, save silver, save a lot of silver, buy herself beautiful clothes, and buy whatever she wants to eat and drink.
Yes, now the young grandmother is the person she admires and emulates the most.
The young grandmother is a kind of charm, and all the people around her will be assimilated by some of her unusual thoughts and behaviors.
For example, the eldest and youngest grandmothers love money.
From time to time, she will work with the eldest young master and the fourth young master to eagerly discuss which city and county the shop should be opened again, what kind of new styles will be launched tomorrow, what kind of tricks will be made to attract customers, and how to develop the business of the dart game and the caravan...... Wait a minute.
As soon as she did these things, the eyes of the young grandmother lit up. Of course, the eldest young master next to her saw that her eyes were shining......
The young grandmother loves money, she loves to spend money, she loves to enjoy it more than ordinary young grandmothers, and she also loves to enjoy it with everyone.
Her bedroom is extremely luxurious and comfortable, and several subordinate rooms in the inner courtyard are becoming more and more sophisticated.
When the weather is getting colder and colder, there are a few silver carbon braziers in the master's room in other courtyards. And the entire west courtyard is connected to the "earth dragon" pondered by the eldest young grandmother and the fourth young master, and the earth dragon is also connected to every room in the west courtyard, even the lower room is no exception.
Every day, the coal and wood in the boiler room burn day and night.
It makes the whole west courtyard warm like spring, so that even the begonias in the house are blooming beautifully.
In addition to living, the food and clothing are jaw-dropping and exquisite.
The dishes and snacks are all carefully cooked by Hexiang and her mother-in-law according to the recipes given by the young grandmother, and the patterns are all unheard of by Ning Xiang.
In particular, the caravans of grandmothers and grandmothers often offer spices with strange names, such as pepper and chicken tongue, and the dishes are really amazing.
When no one is in private, the young grandmother wears a comfortable dress, often the kind of obscene (xie) clothes that make people reverie, and then cover a silk dress that is as soft as water waves, and there is no unnecessary embroidery on the long skirt.
The wide plain silk long skirt and soft satin embroidered shoes look ordinary, but whether it is sitting or sitting, a slight movement is graceful, and the young grandmother always looks lazy and has not woken up, which is really charming.
The little girl Ning Xiang was stunned.
The eldest young master Ji Yunyi who watched it was also demented, and Jun's face was flushed.
In addition to loving money and enjoyment, the young grandmother is also very uninhibited, and she will take revenge.
Whether it is against the powerful Marquis Ji, or against the vicious and ruthless Mrs. Ji, she can always look like a fool, if she is trained by Mrs. Ji's yin and yang weirdness one day, she can always go back to the thorn without being soft or hard, and she will never suffer.
In the days when Ning Xiang was in the inner courtyard, the well in the west courtyard was poisoned twice, the swing rope that the grandmother used to play with was scratched once, and when the grandmother in the kitchen went out to buy vegetables, she accidentally bought vegetables with similar appetites...... After these incidents, in addition to the eldest young master changing a group of guards, the eldest young grandmother made the tortoiseshell sister get some medicinal powder, which made the eldest lady have diarrhea for three days. At the door of the princess of Nanyuan, a dead cat and mouse were thrown, which frightened the princess to put aside her most important demeanor, and the screams resounded throughout the Hou Mansion......
Also, the young grandmother is extremely protective, as long as the people get the approval of the young grandmother, they will be protected by her under her wings, no matter which yard outside they are wronged and oppressed, the young grandmother will definitely go to get justice back.
At this point, Ningxiang is the most happy.
Also, in the daily relationship between the eldest young grandmother and the eldest young master, Ning Xiang also summed up a truth that she thinks is very reasonable, that is, this woman must be rich and good-looking.
As long as you have these two things, you can make your husband no longer see other little hooves, even if there are small hooves that don't have long eyes and want to come forward to hook up, you can be frightened by his cruel eyes.
Don't believe it, listen, the young grandmother said that the husband should peel shrimp for the lady.
The eldest young master said, okay, let's peel the shrimp.
The young grandmother said that the eyebrow painting was not good today.
The eldest young master said, blame me, redraw.
The eldest young grandmother said that there was a young man in the opera garden whose eyes were quite handsome.
The eldest young master said, go and get these eyes another day.
The young grandmother said, "Hmph!" When I said hello this morning, Lin Zhanmei looked at you twice.
The eldest young master said that he would take her eyeballs as well.
Jin Qi'er, Yin Shen'er and others listened quietly on the side, and there was no wave in their hearts.
Hey, I worship the young grandmother! Only Ning Xiang's heart was surging, seeing that all the gentle eyes of the eldest young master were sprinkled on the eldest young grandmother, and the couple had endless words every day...... Ning Xiang was even more determined in her heart.
