"I heard that Cheng'en Gong has entered the palace?" In front of the curling green smoke, the only sound that sounded with this sound was the crisp click of the Buddha beads.

"Yes, Your Majesty and Cheng Engong talked in the upper study, and I can't find out what they said." Next to it is a bass that does not distinguish between male and female.

"Go and ask, I can't let them ruin my big business." The clicking stopped, and the sound instantly became severe.

"Yes." The footsteps faded away.

The sound of the collision of Buddha beads sounded again, and the Bodhisattva smiled with pity and kindness, but in front of the perennial fireworks, it was a little blurred.

The next day, Cheng Engong heard that the queen missed the jujube paste yam cake made by the kitchen lady in the house, and specially sent two kitchen girls into the palace.

When Emperor Deqing heard this, he not only gave permission, but also transferred all the cooks in the queen's small kitchen to the imperial dining room, leaving only the two new cooks and the two little maids that the queen fancied.

Everyone sighed that the emperor and queen were deeply in love.

"Madam, the eldest princess of Fujia has made a post, inviting you to enter the mansion tomorrow." Liu's mother came over with a plum blossom note.

Qin Ranran nodded, took the post and put it aside.

"The new maid, are you all right?" She continued to pick up the medicinal herbs in her hand, "Did Master reply?" ”

Mother Liu said with a smile: "There is no reply from Madame yet, but there are already a few restless people in the little maid who have begun to stumble." ”

Qin Ranran put the picked up medicinal materials in the bamboo basket and said lightly: "Mother Liu, keep an eye on them, who knows who will send them inside." ”

Mother Liu should be: "The slave knows the severity, and the lady can rest assured." ”

"Mother Liu, when I entered the house, I was alone. I didn't have any female elders to teach me since I was a child, and I didn't have many friends, so there were many things I didn't understand. ”

"In the future, if there is anything wrong with me, you must tell me. I don't want to be ridiculed by the general and our Pingxi General's Mansion after I go out. ”

Mother Liu's eyes were hot when she heard this, and she hurriedly bowed down and said: "Madame's words are serious, as long as Madame has an order, the slave and maid must do their best." ”

Qin Ranran took her hand and asked her to sit down: "Mother Liu, there may be more and more people in this mansion in the future, and the general's career is smooth, and he will only go farther and farther, I must not let these miscellaneous things in our mansion drag down the general." I don't have a nurse and a personal maid since I was a child, and no one helps me keep an eye on the many affairs in this house, in the future, you will be my nursing mother, how about it? ”

Mother Liu couldn't hold back any longer, tears came out of her eyes, she got up and bowed to the ground: "Madam, the general treats us like a mountain, and you trust me so much, I can't repay one or two if I die." Madame, don't worry, I will do my best to help Madame take care of the General's Mansion. ”

Qin Ranran got up and helped Liu's mother sit down: "Maisui, go and make a basin of water to help Liu's mother clean her face, it hurts her skin too much this winter." ”

Mai Sui fetched water as she said, but Liu's mother didn't let others follow and went to the clean room by herself.

"Maisui, you also heard what I just said to Mother Liu, I now have a nurse, are you willing to be my personal maid?" Qin Ranran raised her eyes and looked at the ears of wheat with a smile.

"Madam, Mai Sui will never disappoint Madame!" Ears of wheat fell to their knees.

Qin Ranran must have completely pulled Mother Liu and Mai Sui, the two most loyal people, by her side, and with them to help take care of her, if she reminded her more, there should be a lot less trouble.

"Angelica dahurica." Qin Ranran picked up the ears of wheat and called out to Bai Zhi, who was standing outside.

A big-eyed woman walked in, her facial features were not very delicate and beautiful, but she looked quite pleasing to the eye. This is the big flower that persuaded Qin Ranran not to drink cold tea at that time. Because of her family's surname Bai, Qin Ranran named her Angelica Angelica according to the name of the herb.

"You took this herb and ground it with a mortar, the finer the better." Qin Ranran pointed to the bamboo basket in his hand and said.

Bai Zhi carried the bamboo basket and bowed away.

"Redsleeves, come over here." Qin Ranran's decision to keep the red sleeves by her side made Mother Liu, Mai Sui and Ah Jiu not particularly understandable, but she didn't explain.

"When did you leave home?" Qin Ranran asked her with a smile.

The red sleeves respectfully blessed before replying, "The slave was twelve years old when she left home. ”

Qin Ranran's heart moved, and then said, "How did you fall into the hands of human teeth?" ”

Hearing this, Red Sleeves knelt on the ground, and his voice was full of sadness: "Madam, the slave maid is also the daughter of a scholar's family, and my father has also taught the slave maid carefully since childhood. But when the slave was twelve years old, his mother went, and the slave was deceived by his uncle and sold his teeth to pay off his gambling debts. ”

"The slave begged the lady not to change the name of the slave and maid, the slave and the maid were afraid that their father would come to Beijing in the future, and they would not recognize the slave and maid."

"The slave doesn't ask my wife to let me out, I just want to see my father again."

Qin Ranran thought of the man who had gray hair when he was over thirty years old in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"If your father finds him, I will let you go home. How about you stay in my house and help me with some chores before your father comes to me? ”

"The slave and maid have thanked Mrs., and are willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Mrs. for her kindness!" Redsleeves choked up, fell to the ground and knocked down heavily.

Qin Ranran lifted her red sleeves: "Come on, I want you to be a cow and a horse, what do you want you to do, you can help me do things, even if you repay me?" ”

The red sleeves have faded from the childish face and showed firmness: "Madame, don't worry, my father taught me to be ambitious since I was a child, and those who are confidants die, Madame treats me like a reconstruction, and I will never let Madame down!" ”

Qin Ranran's heart was relieved: "You go to Mai Sui and ask her to call everyone in our yard over, I have something to say." ”

"Yes." The red sleeves are blessed and leave.

In a short time, all the maids in the inner courtyard stood in the flower hall, standing respectfully with their hands down.

"Since I chose you to follow me, I think you are worthy of my trust, and in the future, no one is allowed to go out to chew the root of the tongue in my yard, inside and outside the house."

"The affairs in our backyard are in charge of Mother Liu, and the affairs around me are in charge of Mai Sui and Ah Jiu."

"The jewelry on my side is in charge of Baizhu, the clothes are in charge of Poria cocos, and all the medicinal materials I bring over and need to be processed are in charge of Bai Zhi."

"Redsleeves is in charge of the accounts in our yard. Only Ah Jiu can go with me, and no one else is allowed to enter without permission, understand? ”

"My four big maids are like this, you can arrange the wheat ears of the second-class maids, and the two little maids will help do some chores."

"You must live in harmony, if there is anything you can come back to me first, I will make decisions for you. I don't want to see any intrigue in my yard. ”

"But if there are outsiders bullying us, you just call me back, if something happens, count it as mine!"
