Chapter 24: The New Maiden
After Fang's order, Mama Zhou brought two girls in. Xun Qingran was sitting on the low couch next to her, and Xun Shufang's sisters made a few arrangements, and when she heard that it was to add people to her brother's yard, she took it to heart and looked at the two girls carefully.
Both girls wore a white mid-shirt with a green chicken-hearted collar vest and a white cotton silk skirt underneath. The taller one was fifteen or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and a plump figure. The shorter ones are also thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slender and weak figure, and a melon seed face the size of a palm, they are really two beautiful girls.
"This is called Chun Tao, fifteen years old, and he is the most clever and capable. This one is called Chunyan, fourteen years old, and the needlework is top-notch. I am here and the two of them are still thoughtful, know the rules, and will serve people. You should add a few more people to your house, and you will take these two. Put it in the house, serve tea and water, and serve you to read, and your father and I can rest assured. ”
Xun Junhui stood up and excused himself: "The lord and wife often tell them to be thrifty. There are enough people in my yard. How dare you ask for a sister who can be used by my wife's side, it is better to stay by my wife's side and serve my wife, which can be regarded as filial piety for me. ”
Fang smiled, "It's good that you have this filial piety." You are a serious master in the house, and you should have been served by so many people. In the past, you were small, and I was afraid that it would be bad to be too pampered. Now that you have grown up, not only the two of them, but the people around me, which one you look good at, although tell me that I have nothing to disobey. ”
Chun Tao and Chun Yan stepped forward to salute Xun Junhui. Xun Qingran looked at it coldly, although these two girls lowered their heads when they came in, they always traced Junhui one by one. At this time, they were asked to salute, Chun Tao deliberately twisted her body, revealing her plump body, and when Chunyan bowed, she still held her orchid fingers.
Fang Shi looked very satisfied, and continued, "There are only two followers by your side. In the future, you will have to walk outside to run errands, and there will be more people around you who are familiar with the world to help you. I have inquired carefully these days, and I have chosen two little guys, Baozhong and Baozhu, and another youngest son of Mama Zhou, who is called Cunxiao to be your long-term follower. He has followed the housekeeper since he was a child, and he has been doing old things outside. If you don't understand anything outside, ask him. ”
Junhui entered the family tree, and there were more people who stammered, and many people looked for a way to serve by his side. Xun Qingran once instructed his younger brother to let him choose people carefully. No matter how old Junhui is, he is only thirteen years old after all, and his experience is limited, if the people around him are inappropriate and bring him badly, Xun Qingran will not agree to be the first one.
Fang's is his mother-in-law, and he is Junhui's important person, and he must also have her consent. Today, she arranged manpower for Junhui like this, which is a means for her mother-in-law to control her concubine, and it cannot be avoided. However, Xun Qingran looked at the appearance and behavior of the two girls, and she didn't like it in her heart. Listening to the names of these little guys who followed him again, he frowned even more secretly. Zhou Cunxiao is the son of Mama Zhou, and he is also a figure often discussed in the mouths of people in Xunfu. It is said that he is the most slippery, proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
What does it mean that the Fang clan arranged such a person for Junhui?
"You're going to the city for the exam in a moment, and I've arranged a carriage for you. Your two little guys are young and have nothing to do, so taking them there is a burden. You only take Bao Zhong and Bao Zhu with you. There is also Zhou Cunxiao, I have already sent someone to hand over the silver and other things to him, let him follow you and help you arrange it. By the way, there has to be a girl who serves you closely. Chun Tao is more stable, so I will take her to get you some food and clothing. ”
Junhui wanted to go to the city for the exam, and instead of letting him bring the people he was used to, he arranged for these people to serve him. And once the degree is used, it is all in the hands of Zhou Cunxiao, and it will not work if you don't take them there.
Xun Qing's heart sank, and secretly laughed that she still thought too well of Fang's family, thinking that after a setback, she would realize that Xun Junhui was something she couldn't suppress, and it would be good for everyone to put an end to those evil thoughts from now on. But now it seems that the Fang clan not only did not give up her despicable plans, but also intensified it.
With such a manpower and such an arrangement, the Fang clan can be regarded as his heart.
Xun Junhui didn't say anything, listened to Fang's words respectfully, and when he came down one by one, he said that he was going to enter the city in a hurry, and led someone to quit.
Xun Qingran glanced at the yarn that Xun Shulan was weaving, thought about it, and secretly hid the cyan silk thread in her sleeve. Xun Shulan was halfway through a string, and suddenly couldn't find the cyan silk thread.
Xun Qingran hurriedly said, "Yesterday, I just changed the snow green tent in my house, and I used cyan silk thread to tie the strings, and there are still some left, I will let people take them." ”
Xun Qingran greeted Hongxuan, but no one responded, Xun Qingran smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot for a while, Hongxuan went home to see her grandmother, and she didn't follow." She kept all the things in my house for me, and the other girls didn't know, so I'd better go back and get them. As he spoke, he came out of the house, and after walking a short distance, he saw Xun Junhui walking slowly in front.
"I sent those two girls to go ahead, just as I wanted to say goodbye to my sister." Junhui said.
"I'm afraid those people are not appropriate, are you really going to take them to the city?" Xun Qingran asked. She had also heard and seen some dirty things in her previous life, and the Fang Clan might not be able to do it.
Xun Junhui smiled slightly, "How could I use reliable people instead of them?" It's just that I don't want to collide with my wife face to face. ”
Xun Qingran was relieved, "Have you come up with an idea?" ”
"I made an appointment with Jun Hui to go into the city together, and just now I have sent someone to find him, and ask him to lead the horse and pick me up at the back door. As for the little maid and the long-term entourage arranged by the wife, let them wait outside the second gate. However, the two girls of Chun Tao seem to be a little troublesome. ……”
"Those are two beautiful girls, you are not happy, but you are worried?" Xun Qingran looked at his younger brother and asked deliberately.
"What a beautiful girl, it's uncomfortable to look at, far less pleasing to the eye than Kapok and Yueji. Sister, I'm so worried, you still tease me. ”
Kapok and Yueji are the two girls around Xun Junhui, both of whom are loyal and reliable, and Kapok is even more capable.
Xun Qingran saw that his younger brother didn't have a beautiful plan, and his heart was relieved, and he also smiled. "Leave this to me. When you go back in a while, let Kapok Branch Kai Chunyan go to work, and as for Chun Tao, you send her to me. You just have to go, and I can hold her back. ”
After discussing the good idea, Xun Qingran said to Jun Hui again: "Mrs. is doing these things at this time, I am afraid that it will still disturb your heart." You just focus on going to the exam, don't let her affect your mood. ”
"Don't worry, sister, I'm not surprised by what she does, but the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. I'm no longer the toddler she held in the palm of her hand. ”
Xun Qingran returned to his house and instructed the bellflower and malt, and Chun Tao hurriedly came over and gave Xun Qingran a salute hastily.
The second master ordered the slave and maid to come over, saying that there was something important for the third girl. The second master wants to use it for the exam, and he is anxious to take it away, so ask the third girl to find it out and let the maid take it to the second master. ”
Xun Qingran asked Chun Tao to wait aside, and told the bellflower and malt to find it quickly, and Xun Qingran himself helped rummage through it. Jiao Tao stood there, her feet not moving, but her eyes were rolling and looking. Xun Qingran confirmed that this was not an honest girl, and she was even more displeased in her heart.
"Please hurry up, sisters, the second master is going out soon, and there is no delay." Chun Tao waited for a while, and when she saw that she hadn't found it yet, she was a little anxious and urged.
As soon as Mai Mai heard this, he raised his eyes, stepped forward, pointed at Chun Tao's nose and reprimanded: "Your eyes have grown to the top of your brain, haven't you seen that I and Sister Kikyo are looking for it?" The second master's business, only you are in a hurry, aren't we in a hurry? Your nose is not a nose, your face is not a face, is it to give us an ugly look, or to give us a girl's face? ”
