Chunying has been a second-class girl for a few days. The adaptation was pretty good.

She is responsible for the daily cleaning of the main house, including the main hall, the bedroom of Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin, plus serving tea and water, and folding quilts to make beds. Several times, she was extremely glad that she had been trained by Aunt Cheng for several months, so that she could do all this skillfully, and silently, without alarming Mrs. Cousin, who was on bed rest, or Miss Biao, who was reading books and reading account books. Aunt Qing praised her a few times in private, and when Linglong faced her, her face was much softer.

But she also knows in her heart that Linglong has reservations about her. Miss Biao took all the important errands away, and she was not asked to touch her hands when she stored jewelry and property, but only allowed her to touch ordinary objects such as clothes, study, and tea sets.

Chunying looked at it coldly, and there was a breath in her heart, it was really uncomfortable not to be trusted, she was not fighting for this second-class girl, it was they who promoted themselves, they were in charge of their heads, they were much busier than the previous leisurely life, and they were guarded against as thieves all day long, it was really a Buddha's fire!

Linglong is too underestimated. She's not that shallow-eyed! She has seen the royal treasures of the Palace Museum several times, and she has also seen the pictures of the jewelry of the Ming Dynasty's Queen's Mausoleum. She was tired enough just to wipe more things on the treasure grid every day, so that she wouldn't come back with a few more errands stupidly! As for the trust of Mrs. Gu and Miss Biao, it is the floating clouds in the sky! It's not her serious master, what is she doing so hard? When Aunt Qing's words become reality, she will worry about this problem again!

So she also let go, put away all her curiosity, just buried herself in work, and didn't try to have a good relationship with Linglong, in addition to carrying out the orders of the other party and Miss Biao, at most she only laughed with Aunt Qing and Sandalwood, and the most exchanged was still Shi'er, and recently Sang'er was added, and occasionally Nanqi would do needlework with them, but she rarely spoke.

Seeing her so "honest", Linglong felt a little unbearable, spoke in a much softer tone, and taught her some work tips from time to time, but at the same time, the requirements for her behavior were stricter.

Since Chunying crossed, she has either lived in her own home or a commoner's house, or she has been a little girl in the Hou Mansion, she only needs to be cautious and have no place to violate the order. No one cares about her manners. In addition to being a little more restrained, she is still like in modern times, walking how she wants, talking how she wants, eating and drinking tea as she wants, and never thinking that she would become an ancient "lady".

But Linglong's requirements are very strict, and once she sees any "unladylike" thing about Chunying, she will punish her for eating white rice and even starving. For the sake of her own stomach, Chunying had to pretend to be Sven, walking in small steps, her skirt would not float up, and her speech was also crepe, fortunately, she had learned to write calligraphy from Zhou Nian, otherwise I am afraid that Miss Biao would have to assign homework to her.

Linglong sometimes confided in private: "Anyway, I have also served the young master, isn't there anyone in your house who trains the girls well?" I have been looking at it for a long time, except for the girls in the old lady's house, there are still some rules, and only the people in the grandmother's yard know the rules, and now the girls around your third young master, except for Miss Lu'er, are very arrogant! I don't understand. The title of your house is even higher than that of our family, how can the rules under this not be the same? “

What else is there to say about Chunying? She felt that the rules of the Hou Mansion were already very strict, how did she know that the rules of the Huo family were stricter? She used to think that her wife was harsh, but now she felt that the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion was at least more relaxed than that of the Huo family.

In such an environment, it was all delusional to want to get out and go to the third young master or Zhou Nian, Chun Ying began to think about it, striving to take a day and a half off, go home to visit her parents, and by the way, see if she could contact the dot dye, and send a letter to the third young master.

Before she could think of a reason for asking for leave, Qiu Yu came to the door. The latter came with the old lady, and when she saw that Liuli and the others were waiting in the house, she quietly said hello to Aunt Qing, pulled Chunying by the hand, and the sisters withdrew silently.

When she arrived at the room, Shi'er was not there, so Chunying pulled Qiu Yu and said, "Sister, I've always wanted to see you, but it's inconvenient to go out these days, but I'm in a hurry!" ”

Qiu Yu pulled her to sit down: "What's the hurry?" I've been promoted to the second class, why are you still babbling like this? After that, he glanced up and down at Chunying's clothes, and said with a smile: "I have wronged you, Mrs. Gu and Miss Biao are guarding filial piety, you wait next to you, it's not good to wear red and green, tomorrow, I will choose a bright material and make you a new set of clothes." How about a good outfit when you get home? ”

Chunying was not very interested in the new clothes, and just complained to her about the strict rules of the Huo family. After Qiu Yu listened, she couldn't help but snicker: "This is your bad luck, although the Huo family is a scholar for generations, the heads of the family in the past generations are all enlightened people, as long as the etiquette is not bad, it will not be too strict, and now these rules were changed after Mrs. Gu got married." This was the rule set by Mrs. Fan before. Since this lady has entered the door now, those old imperial calendars have changed. A few of them are older, and they have seen it, and there are still a few grandmothers in the old lady's courtyard who still observe this example. ”

Chunying couldn't help but sigh to herself and was unlucky: "I knew that this was the case, I would just be a little girl honestly, what kind of mouth......"

Qiu Yu poked her in the head: "You know that you are lazy!" You've been promoted to the second class for a few days, but haven't you noticed the benefits? ”

Chunying squirmed a few times and admitted that the second-class girl did have many benefits, and the people around her respected her more.

Qiu Yu said: "What is this? There are other benefits, you'll find out later. She leaned closer to her sister and lowered her voice: "In the past, you were just doing rough work, so I didn't say much, but now that you have been promoted to the second class, my sister has to teach you some things." ”

She taught face-to-face. Elaborate on the various things that need to be paid attention to when serving by the master's side, such as walking and doing things quietly when the master is sleeping; When the host is tired, he should have a little more eyes, send tea and snacks in time or persuade the host to rest; Fan frequently in summer, burn the stove frequently in winter, everything must be thought of before the owner, everything is for the sake of the master, and the owner must feel comfortable and intimate...... Also, when you're out and about. You must not be rude and disgrace your master; If the master has a quarrel with someone else, he has to help resolve it; In front of the elders, you have to help the master please the other party, and in front of the juniors or peers, you have to always remind the master to pay attention to the etiquette......

Qiu Yu listed a lot, and pointed out the most important point: that is, the hands and feet must be clean, and the master's property must not be used privately, nor can the owner's news be revealed because of greed for the benefits of others.

She repeatedly emphasized: "The person who waits close to her knows more about the master's affairs, and it is easy to influence the master's thoughts. There are often people who accept other people's benefits and do things for others, which is nothing, but don't say things that shouldn't be revealed! The matter of delaying the master is not something that can be made up for with a few strokes of the board. Although Miss Biao is not a serious master of our family, you have to wait for her as a serious master. ...... and "Hengzhu" paused, and smiled secretly, "Hengzhu is a family." ”

Chunying chuckled in her heart, sighed secretly, and nodded with a smile. Qiu Yu taught a few more experiences, and when she saw that her sister was taught, she reminded her: "I see that your needlework has come back, and I heard that your mother said that you are still good at playing?" There is one thing that others are not as good as you, which is extremely useful, and in the future, Miss Biao will also pay special attention to you. Don't patronize and play in your spare time, practice more female red. For us girls, needlework is the most important. ”

Chunying responded one by one, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Qiuyu: "Sister, I'...... I wanted to find a chance to go home, and I finally got promoted, so how about making my father and mother happy? ”

Qiu Yu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my father and mother already knew, but that's good, I heard that my father has been seeking a position as a deputy steward recently, and he is about to think about it." I have some money there. If you go back, bring a handful for me, and if you have any money, take it out, this is a major matter related to our family, don't be stingy. ”

Almost all of Chunying's savings were taken away by Hu Fei, and there was no surplus of a few taels of silver around her, plus a few pieces of jewelry, but she still decided to give these to her father, and when he was promoted to steward, there would be more hope for him to leave the country in the future, right?

The old lady was already planning to leave, so Qiu Yu had to ask her sister a few more words, and said, "I will find an opportunity to mention it to Sandalwood." And he followed. Chunying helped clean up the tea set chair, and seeing that there was nothing to do, she went back to the room to tidy up what Qiu Yu taught, and found that she still had a lot to learn......

There was a knock on the door, and Chunying looked up and asked, "Which one is it?" The door is open, please come in. ”

It was Magnolia who came in. She smiled sweetly and took out a box: "Just now my cousin came with the old lady and quietly stuffed me with a box of snacks, I heard that you like to eat this, so I specially brought it to you to taste." ”

She opened the box, but there were eight chanterelle rolls, still slightly hot. Although Chunying muttered in her heart when she said that she loved to eat chanterelle rolls, she was so enthusiastic that she poured two cups of tea and invited Yulan to enjoy a snack with her. He also proposed: "Why don't you let Shi'er and them come with you?" I remember Shi'er liked to eat this. In fact, Xia He liked it more, and promised to make her a few snacks that day, and she had to find time to cash it out.

Yulan pressed her with a smile and said, "That's it, I just asked her, and she didn't even give me a good face." She's doing needlework with Nanqi. Nanqi and I have always had a dislike, every time we see each other, we have to quarrel, why bother to provoke her? ”

Did they ever fight? She had the impression that the two of them were just ignoring each other.

Chunying was even more puzzled in her heart, and Yulan pulled her to gossip again, nothing more than how much friendship she had in the past, how happy she got along and so on, in fact, the two had very little contact in the past, Yulan repeatedly mentioned it, and she remembered everything clearly. Chunying couldn't help but secretly admire her good memory, but she still sensed that something was wrong, so she just listened patiently.

Soon, Yulan's tone changed, and she congratulated Chunying on her promotion, and complimented her on her good service, so that she won Miss Biao's blue eyes, and sighed: "I also wanted to be courteous in front of Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin, originally I was in the Lady's Courtyard, and I was second-class, but I didn't flatter, so I couldn't be promoted." Now I finally made up my mind to earn face in front of Mrs. Gu and Miss Cousin, Miss Cousin treated me very politely, but I didn't expect it to be successful, it's all fate! ”

Chunying was a little restless, and reluctantly smiled: "This ...... In fact, there is nothing ...... to go up, "There are a lot of rules to follow, but the money is indeed a lot more."

Yulan hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry about it, I didn't say anything about you." Let me be honest, Miss Biao is lifting you, much better than others, in case she lifts Nanqi, won't I have to suffer every day? ”

Chun Ying laughed dryly a few times and looked away. In fact, Nanqi didn't do anything to Yulan, just when she was transparent......

Yulan took a sip of tea, as if she suddenly remembered, and clapped her hands: "That's right!" I just heard your sister Qiuyu ask Sandalwood, can you take a half-day off, do you have anything important to do? Why do you have to take leave to go out after only a few days of coming in? ”。.。
