Seventy: Handmaiden
The theft of money by the mother and daughter of Xiumingyuan came to an end with their grounding, but Su Yunyao heard the news that the second uncle Su Hui had made it clear to the old lady that he would use his income to redeem those fields, buy a house outside as soon as possible, and move out with his family without causing trouble with the old lady.
And the old lady persuaded a couple of sentences, and when she saw that he insisted on doing so, she said that when she wanted to look at the house, she would also go over and take a look, and many people would see one more way to say, don't let people go to the pit, and she will also give some money to buy the house, and she will not let Su Hui bear it alone.
Su Hui was grateful, personally served the old lady with tea, and then went to Zilanxuan to talk to Fang Lin about it.
Su Yunyao didn't have time to pay attention to their family's affairs, because something was going on right now.
"Girl, it's been a pity that it's been a while, and seeing that it's the New Year's Day, there is only one first-class maid under the girl, and the servants are all ready to move, or you can decide this matter as soon as possible, or you can pick one from elsewhere to enter our yard." Lisheng said.
It means to select one of the maids who serve Su Yunyao to be a first-class maid, and then pick a position before the maid.
Su Yunyao also knew that this matter had been delayed for a long time, and it was not good to keep delaying it, not to mention that her mother had already said it many times, which meant that she had made peace of mind earlier, and how many emperors had been cut off from the position of the prince who had no idea and delayed the position of the prince, which led to fratricide?
"Who is there in our courtyard who is waiting for me?" Su Yunyao asked casually.
She actually knows it, but she doesn't want to think about it now.
"The first-class maid is only a slave, the second-class maid is a child of the family, Lao Tzu Niang is the old man of the Su family, Huaixiang was bought by the eldest lady for the girl a few years ago, at that time it was said that she knew a few words to buy her, Songyin was the girl who served here when she was a child, and just rose from the third-class maid to the second class a year ago, and Zhaolu is also the old man of our Qinzhuxuan, but half a year ago he was reprimanded for talking back to the girl, and the work is not as meticulous as before."
Su Yunyao responded lightly, and Lisheng continued, "The third-class maids Yichun and Yingqiu were both sent by the eldest lady, and they have been serious in their work over the years, and the slave maid looks at it more heartily than that Zhaolu, Zhaolu has been by the girl's side for many years, and often presses them by the year, completely ignoring the face of the eldest lady, as well as Xixia and Lindong, one is a child, Xixia's mother is the one who takes care of the orchard, Lao Tzu passed away two years ago, and the girl also gave silver to make silk gold. ”
Su Yunyao listened carefully to Lisheng's words, and was silent for a while.
These days, she has focused on Yingxiaju, and there are big and small things that make her have no time to take care of the things in her yard for a while, and now she thinks that she should have taken care of the yard a long time ago.
"Our Qin Zhuxuan is a small place, so if you are so shaken here, you are not afraid that I will be angry with her?" Su Yunyao asked angrily.
She knew how to show that girl. Before, because she was not serious Su Yunyao put up with her twice, and then Li Xi told her to go to the food and water of the little fox, because in those days the little fox had a stomach and couldn't eat hard things, but the front foot of the trick promised, and the back foot forgot about it, at first Su Yunyao didn't pay attention, and then Li Xi found out and was a little angry, and said a few words, not admitting that she actually dropped the bowl that the little fox ate to eat.
This is already wrong, and she even asked Li Xi unashamedly, "Why do you usually make some small mistakes, and the girl has the right to not see it?" Why did I just forget that you came to discipline me this time? In the end, I was a first-class maid with a hard waist, but I have served the girl for many years, and I don't necessarily say that I am a bad thing. ”
These words happened to make Su Yunyao listen to them word for word, looking at the little fox's listlessness and inability to speak to complain, she immediately became angry and said a few words, but Zhao Lu wiped her tears as soon as she twisted her face, saying that Su Yunyao had misunderstood her, and she had worked hard to follow her for so many years, so it really hurt her heart.
You must know that she is hard to speak in front of Li Xi, but at this time, she pretends to be pitiful and talks back to her own girl.
Su Yunyao remembered this at this time, she didn't feel anything before, but now she remembered to take care of it.
"Then sneak Zhaolu down, let her be a third-class maid, so that she can sharpen her heart, if she does well and recognizes her mistakes, she can also be promoted, as for the third-class maid which takes her position, it will be Yichun to come, Yichun's old son is serving in her grandfather's house, and she can be regarded as knowing the roots, as for the first-class maid..."
Who will take Lixi's position, Su Yunyao still wants to think about it again.
Lisheng didn't tell her about it right away, only their master and servant knew. But Zhaolu was not stable for a moment, and at this time, I didn't know that Lisheng arrived in their room, and pretended to pinch her waist with Yichun Xixia and others and said, "When I was with the girl, she was still young, and the relationship was different, and the two sisters were not even if they were the eldest lady, and there was a gap between them and me?" Before talking back to me, think about whether the girl will be angry with you! ”
This is too much, but Li Shengquan didn't hear it, thinking that there would be a time when you cried.
Su Yao went home from the court, and was called by Liu's mother in Yingxiaju, saying that the second lady had something to discuss with him.
Before they could meet, Su Yao had already guessed what he was going to say, it must be Su Yuyao's family affair.
"Yu'er is not much older than Hui'er, Hui'er has only been with her for a short time, and Yu'er has only been with her for less than two years, and it will be okay to stay for another half a year, so you can't marry her casually, right?"
Cao Qianlian was wearing a honey-colored cotton skirt, and the bun on her head was only held by a double happiness wishful green hairpin, which looked pleasing to the eye.
She was pitiful, "Good man, you can't say that, how many girls haven't been married yet?" We can't afford to wait. ”
Su Yao was a little helpless: "You can't help me?" Yu'er has more or less gone out to meet people, but no one wants her to be a daughter-in-law, I said that it was the third daughter of the Su family, they were either silent, or they talked about other daughters, what can I do? You have to take your time, it's useless to rush! ”
Hearing Su Yao say this about his daughter, Cao Qianlian immediately stood up and said, "What's wrong with our Yu'er?" It's just that I'm affected by my concubine's room, if she comes out of the belly of the eldest lady, she can't make sure that a group of people want her to be a daughter-in-law! Dalang, you do your best, but don't delay Yu'er..."
Su Yao smiled faintly: "You tell me, which piece of Yu'er is Zhanxiang'er?" In terms of appearance, she is not as good as Qian'er Hui'er, in terms of talent, she is a person with no ink in her belly, and her temperament is not like everyone's miss, let's choose a son-in-law, and people also choose a daughter-in-law, if you don't like it, can you force people to marry Yu'er? ”
Cao Qian didn't say anything for a long time, and a handkerchief was deformed in her hand.
Su Yao thought of something else, and turned back to her and said, "Xiao Qi, the sister-in-law of the Xiao family, you are also worried, Brother Xiao told me that he is going to marry Xiao Qi's child, our Yu'er is no play!" ”
"Why not?" Cao Qian was anxious, "Which girl is it that you are talking about?" My Yu'er talked with Xiao Qi very happily when she returned, so Xiao Qi must have Yu'er in her heart, besides, the four girls married into the Xiao family, wouldn't it be good to be close to each other? Isn't it good for Yu'er to marry a high-ranking family? ”
"It's the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion! What kind of family is Xiangfu? That concubine Mu Yanxia is everyone's best girl, she stayed in the palace for a few years when she was a child, and the people of Manxunjing rushed to marry her as a daughter-in-law, what can you tell me about Yu'er compared with her? Don't worry about it, it's a shame to say it. ”
Prime Minister's House? Cao Qianlian chuckled in her heart.
I'm afraid that Su Yuyao really has no hope of marrying into the Xiao family.
"That's... So what if Xiao Qi really has a jade in his heart? It's not good to break up this marriage, is it? Da Lang, you love Yu'er, when Li'er gave birth to her, it hurt for a day and a night, and she almost couldn't see Da Lang, you always say that you love Yu'er, why don't you see you love her now, if Xiao Qi really likes our Yu'er, then it is not difficult for Yu'er to marry into the Xiao family! ”
"How to marry? Giving someone a concubine? As soon as Su Yao heard what Cao Qianlian said, he was angry in his heart: "I am also an official in the court!" If Yu'er really gave his family a concubine, I can't let my colleagues laugh to death? ”
"Naturally not, how can I let Yu'er be a concubine!" Cao Qianlian said in a panic, "For today's plan, only Da Lang or the eldest lady and the old lady will go to the Xiao family to propose marriage to Yu'er, and see if the marriage of the Mu family can fall on Yu'er's head, which is also for the good of the Su family!" ”
Hearing this, Su Yao slapped the table angrily, leaving only one sentence of impossibility and throwing away.
Leaving Cao Qianlian alone, she couldn't wait to tear the veil apart.
"What about Mu Yanxia? It's just that the reputation is better, and real people don't necessarily have to pickle dirty quails, so you should be a treasure! ”
But this is her worry, Mu Yanxia is everyone's best girl, so she naturally wants to marry a good son, Xiao Qi is like that, she can't look down on it.
So when the Xiao family proposed, Mu Yanxia's mother didn't agree immediately, but she didn't refuse, she only said that she thought about it, marriage is a major event in a lifetime, and it is not good to make a decision arbitrarily.
Mrs. Yang of Changjun Wang also said that she agreed, let the Mu family think about it, and she couldn't force someone to marry her daughter, right?
But after hearing the news, Mu Yanxia immediately said, "I don't want to marry, who wants to marry whoever marries, what is the sister-in-law of the Xiao family?" I don't have a catty on my body so big, I don't want to say anything about the exam, I blindly rely on the shade, and marrying him is not as promising as marrying a butcher to me. ”
Mother hugged her, "Xia'er, do you agree to be a mother?" That Xiao family is not a good place, if it is the eldest son Xiao Ling, he is a righteous gentleman, but Xiao Qi is absolutely impossible, rest assured, mother will never push you into the fire pit! ”
Hearing this, Mu Yanxia breathed a long sigh of relief, and drank tea again to calm down.
