Chapter 11: The Mother of the House

The maidservant Ah Lan is sixteen or seventeen years old, it is the age when flowers are in full bloom, she is delicate in appearance, delicately dressed, and looks more delicate than ordinary sisters-in-law.

Glancing at Zhang Qi contemptuously, she held her head high and said, "Come with me." ”

With that, he shook his hand and walked forward.

Zhang Qi took Ah Lu's hand and followed her quietly.

Ah Lu had been a little nervous, she looked back and forth, couldn't help but lean in front of Zhang Qi, and whispered, "Ah Qi, does it matter?" ”

Since dating Zhang Qi, compared with his quiet Zhang Qi, Ah Lu has always been a little dependent. Although she is straightforward and righteous by nature, she likes to stand out for others.

Zhang Qi shook his head and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. ”

"But you want to see your mother. My feet are shaking......"

Zhang Qi patted the back of her hand soothingly, and whispered, "It really doesn't matter. ”

When she said this, she was extremely quiet, and Ah Lu involuntarily calmed down. She smiled in a low voice and said happily: "Ah Qi said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." She glanced at Ah Lan in front of her, and saw that she was more than a dozen steps away from the two of them, and looked impatient to pay attention to the two of them, so she chattered again, "Ah Qi, why do I think that Xiao Lang seems to have been looking at you all the time." He's not going to be happy with you, is he? ”

Zhang Qi smiled, she replied in a low voice: "Now I am here, why do I want people to be happy?" Was it sent to be a concubine for nothing? ”

When Ah Lu heard this, he suddenly had no strength. She muttered, "I don't like to be a concubine either. "Because of this era, marriage attaches great importance to family blood, and pays special attention to the right family. This kind of attention is even only closed to the door, not the official position. Just like today's royal family, although they modified their genealogy and claimed to be descended from the Han Dynasty. But the nobles have a number in their hearts, and Gaozu is from the Changxing Chen family. And the Changxing Chen clan, even if there is a clansman who is the emperor, is still a poor family! And the major families are not so happy to marry the royal family from the bottom of their bones - they are just children of poor families, where are they worthy of their noble blood?

In such a situation, people like them are concubines of their sweethearts, and they have no chance to get ahead in this life - the status of the master mother must be noble, and the background is also strong, and the heartlessness and lungs of being a concubine are just that, it is really moved and emotional, and the master mother cannot tolerate it, it is still a problem!

The whispering of the two finally made Ah Lan in front of her dissatisfied, she didn't look back, and said with a little smirk: "When you get to Madame, it's better to be quiet." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Qi and the two quieted down at the same time.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Ah Lan stopped, "It's here." ”

After dropping these two words, her face was full of smiles, she took two steps, and walked out of the curtain, standing on the steps and looking down at the big maidservant who was blessed, and said crisply: "Sister Xiang, this one was brought by Lord Lang's maidservant, saying that it is Lord Lang's bloodline and comes from the countryside." ”

As soon as the voice came out, several maidservants nearby looked at Zhang Qi together.

At this time, Zhang Qi had already let go of Ah Lu's hand. No matter how good she is with Ah Lu, Ah Lu is just a maidservant, and she is the master. The master and the maidservant held hands, so there was no dignity, and when she was seen by the people above, she might just be scolded, but Ah Lu was inevitably starved and beaten. She wouldn't do this kind of unnecessary thing.

Ah Xiang, the eldest maid standing on the steps, stared at Zhang Qi and said, "Wait a minute." With that, she lifted the curtain and entered.

After a while, Ah Xiang's voice came, "Tell her to come in." ”

"Yes."

"Call you, let's go in."

Zhang Qi lowered her head and stepped into the room quietly.

When she stepped into the room, she didn't look around, but just knelt down honestly and called, "Ah Qi has seen the housemother." She didn't call her mother until the owner of the room had permission to do so.

Sitting on the collapse was a woman in her thirties, a slightly plump woman Zhang Xiao, Xiao's appearance was just dignified, her eyebrows were dignified, and the whole person was a little unsmiling. In terms of appearance, she was a few years older than her husband.

Xiao Shi lowered his head, glanced casually at Zhang Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up." ”

"Yes."

Handing the tea in his hand to the maidservant, Xiao Shi said lightly: "Go find Mother Wen and ask her to arrange it for you." With that, she waved her hand and motioned for Zhang Qi to go out - she wasn't even interested in what Zhang Qi looked like.

That's the benefit of a clear hierarchy. Zhang Qi secretly thought: What if her husband let her come? is an illegitimate daughter, and he can't attract her attention at all. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Qi has been under her nose for three months, and until now, the woman has not found this sister-in-law worthy of her own attention.

This is exactly what Zhang Qi wants. When she stepped back, she said cowardly, "I have a good maid named Ah Lu......"

Xiao Shi didn't wait for her to finish speaking, waved his hand and said, "I know, I'll be by your side." "I actually said that a servant girl is my own friend, and those who are in the countryside are from the countryside, and I don't have any consciousness of being a master.

The Xiao family was not in the mood to educate this illegitimate daughter, but just contemptuously motioned for her to leave quickly.

As soon as Zhang Qi walked out, Ah Lu hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, lowered his voice and asked, "How is it?" ”

This is the person who is the main mother before and after, and Ah Lu will not say much to her. She smiled, didn't speak, and took Ah Lu to find Wen's mother.

Wen's mother got the news and arranged a place for Zhang Qi to live at the moment. The dwelling was between the sisters-in-law and the servants, and the place was very remote, and the weeds in the yard were knee-deep. However, compared to Zhang Qi's original residence, this residence not only has three rooms, but also has a solid house, and the roof is also tightly covered, even the screen window, which is also sturdier than the original.

After running twice to the original place and moving everything back, Zhang Qi and Ah Lu officially moved in.

As Zhang Qi expected, a day passed, and Zhang Shishilang did not send anyone to call her.
