Chapter 35: Settling In
The young man seemed to rarely speak, his voice was a little cold, and when he saw that Gu Wan didn't answer, he said again: "Your surname is Gu?" From above? ”
Gu Wan frowned and nodded.
"You want to buy a maid?"
Gu Wan bowed her head again.
The young man suddenly smiled, pointed to the two little girls in Gebu Mai who had been following Hu Ji, and said, "Buy them, don't want silver." ”
When the young man spoke, his voice was very low, but there was an undoubted taste, listening to it in people's ears, it would make people feel more or less uncomfortable, Gu Anran stepped forward unhappily, protected Gu Wan, raised his head and said, "We ......"
However, before he finished speaking, Gu Wan had already raised her eyebrows and smiled, nodded again, and said, "Okay." Others can't hear it, her five senses are sensitive, but she understands that this young man is not arrogant, he means that these two little girls are reliable people and can be trusted, but he rarely speaks, and he can't speak, and this word comes out of his mouth, which is a little inappropriate.
Gu Anran was stunned, but he loved his sister in the end, so he stopped.
The orchid looked at Gu Wan carefully, her face seemed to show a hint of joy, and she stretched out her hand and pushed the two little girls behind her in front of Gu Wan, and said with a smile: "I have taken them for three years, let them do laundry and cook every day, work hard, never let them sing on stage, and do not allow them to learn those tricks, little ladies rest assured, they can serve people, they are also sensible, understand the rules, you don't lose." ”
As she spoke, she gently tapped the girl's back, and the two girls bowed and saluted, and said in unison, "I've seen the girl." "The sound is like a yellow warbler, and it is very pleasant. Only a slight Northland accent, not a local.
Gu Wan asked them to get up, and only then did she see the appearance of the two girls clearly, their appearance was ordinary, but they looked exactly the same, only a little cinnabar mole on the corner of their mouth, one on the left and one on the right, with gentle eyebrows and amiable eyes.
Even Gu Anran looked at their appearance, and felt that it was quite appropriate for her sister to accept these two as girls.
The orchid glanced at the woman leaning on the young man's arms, sighed, took off the bracelet strung with wooden beads in her hand, put a string on each of the two girls, and said in a low voice: "Take it and wear it, it's worthless, keep a thought." ”
The two girls didn't say a word, but tears rolled down.
Hu Ji's voice was also stagnant, and she said with a wry smile: "Silly girl, don't cry, it's not that the eldest sister doesn't want you, it's just that the days of licking blood from the knife on the rivers and lakes are too bitter, and it's just a matter of eating and sleeping in the open, and it's difficult to live in peace every day, you are different from me, I can't help it, you can always ask for a lifetime of stability." ”
Hu Ji sighed, wiped the faces of the two little girls with his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Good boy, don't cry, the eldest sister is not good, but you dare not be inaccurate when you look at people, you will follow the little lady in the future, if you are loyal and your mind remains the same, in the future, there will definitely be a good result......"
The two little girls finally raised their heads, knelt down, and kowtowed to Hu Ji: "Sister, don't worry, we must remember what you taught us." ”
Before they could finish speaking, the black-clothed young man suddenly frowned, his eyes swirled on the door of the private room next to him, and he said, "I'm leaving." Before he could finish speaking, he had already grabbed the orchid with one hand, and with the other hand he took the woman surnamed Luo in his arms, floated out of the door, and walked out of the distance in the blink of an eye.
Gu Wan pressed her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if it will cause trouble...... With her eyesight, she can vaguely see that there are several people behind this young man, obviously, this young man came with a lot of trouble, and he opened his mouth to talk to himself, and he didn't know if he would let the trouble get on her body as well - now, their brother and sister have no confidence not to be afraid of trouble.
Fortunately, Gu Wan was too worried, and no one provoked her because of a few words from the young man in black.
The boss of Jixiangfang personally came forward, sent the two girls' deeds, and after asking Gu Wan who she didn't want to choose, he hired a car for them to send the brothers and sisters home.
As soon as they entered the house, Gu Anran and Gu Wan obviously felt that there was a big difference, at least, the popularity was much stronger than usual, the yard was cleaned up, there were no weeds or fallen leaves, and the big bluestone steps were as bright as a mirror.
No one moved in the house, Lu Sanniang, the two members of the Wu family and their daughter, Wang Da and Wang Er...... Except for Lu Sanniang's mother-in-law, who is seriously ill and is now resting in the south wing, everyone else is standing in the courtyard in a regular manner to welcome the return of the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family.
Gu Anran didn't say much, and briefly explained a few words, asking them to abide by the rules and do things well, so he threw people to Gu Wan and went back to the house to study.
In fact, when his father Gu Feng was still there, the Gu family also had a group of servants, although Gu Anran was young at that time, he also remembered, he still clearly remembered that the servants in the family were all managed by his mother, and the reward and punishment system was also ordered by his mother, and his father never interfered, and now, he also did it according to the rules of the previous family, but he never thought that his baby girl was only ten years old.
Fortunately, Gu Wan is quite familiar with this, neither the Wu family nor the Wang family gave names, and they were called as before, they were the two twin girls, who had no names at all before, they were always called by the eldest girl and the second girl, they were in the rivers and lakes when they were very young, so that the orchid was rescued, and they even forgot their surnames.
Gu Wan thought about it and said, "Follow my surname Gu, the eldest girl will be called Baosheng, and the second girl will be called Baoqin." ”
The eyes of the two little girls lit up, and they said happily: "Miss Xie gave her name." ”
At this time, the two of them became a little lively, like seven or eight-year-old girls.
Gu Wan smiled, and assigned an errand to everyone, in the future, the Wu family of two, one is responsible for catching up with the car, guarding the door, and cleaning the yard, and the other is responsible for laundry and cooking, their daughter Mo'er is doing chores in the kitchen, Wang Da and Wang Er go to Gu Anran's study to serve, and they can also follow a few words, as for Lu Sanniang, she used to be the county lady, the housekeeper is very set, and she is literate and hyphenated, so she is temporarily responsible for the housekeeper and the accounts, and she is also responsible for the purchase. Of course, let's do something simple and complicated for the time being, and wait until she gives birth safely.
"If you do your duty, our Gu family will never be harsh, in the future, Uncle Wu's two sons, and Sanniang, your work is hard, three taels of silver per month, Wang Dawang Er, Baosheng Baoqin and Mo'er are one tael, four sets of clothes, shoes and socks in one season, and there are other subsidies for the New Year's holidays."
As soon as this treatment is said, Lu Sanniang is okay, after all, it is not that she has never seen money, and everyone else is excited, it is really the Gu family's treatment that is the highest in Yazhou, that is, the official eunuchs in Yazhou, I am afraid that there is not even half of it.
"Okay, the rules of our Gu family are not strict, as long as you pay attention, don't break your mouth and chew your tongue, the eldest brother's study, that is, Wang Da and Wang Er, there is no eldest brother to speak, and you are not allowed to enter and exit casually, and there is nothing on the side, clean up the south wing, Uncle Wu, your family lives in, Sanniang, your body is inconvenient, and you have to take care of your mother-in-law, the old man is not good, so he lives in the east wing, warmer, and close to the kitchen, so it is convenient for you to boil some soup for the old man to replenish his body, Wang Da and Wang Er live with my eldest brother, Baosheng Baoqin follows me, live like this first, Wait until you go to the new house and then assign it. ”
The house at home is actually quite enough, Gu Wan lives in the West Wing, there are several side rooms, but she prefers to be alone, there are two maids in front of her, and it is even more inconvenient to do things, but she also understands that how can there be no maids around everyone's daughter, you have to start getting used to it now, otherwise, it will definitely make people laugh in the future.
Gu Wan didn't worry about herself, but she would never let her Gu and Liu's family reputation.
