Chapter 22: Acquaintance Visits
"Sister, why did you suddenly let us learn this?" Sanniu faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, her third sister had never paid attention to these red tapes on weekdays, but now she suddenly let them learn, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Silly girl, you are going to marry sooner or later, my sister will not let you get married, if you have a wishful mind in the future, you must also tell me, you must not hide it from me, it will not be harmful to you to learn these etiquettes." The second girl is serious, and she always feels afraid that she will not be able to protect these two girls one day, but where does this feeling come from?
Ling'er didn't understand half of her and didn't speak, so she didn't want to leave her sister, and when she grew up, she would stay by her sister's side to protect them.
Mama Lin waited for a few people to stop talking, and stepped forward to salute Sanniu and Ling'er, "Third Miss An, Fourth Miss An." The two didn't know how to return the salute, but Ling'er said playfully: "An, Mama is also safe!"
The child's innocent words made everyone laugh.
Erya left Mama Lin in Fanghua Pavilion, and took Sanniu aside to whisper a few words. Sanniu nodded in understanding, and turned back to the yard.
Mama Feng followed Erya to the main courtyard. I just heard the young lady say that she was a housekeeper, and I was surprised that I had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility when I first came here.
But of course, Erya won't hand over all the things at home to Mama Feng to take care of so soon, let's try it out for a while first.
Tonghua Pavilion
There was a gurgling sound on the small stove in the yard, and a slender girl, dressed in dirty cloth clothes, with a somewhat round face and a decent appearance, was sweeping the yard, and this girl was Zhilan.
"Yuzhu, Miss should be back soon, brew the tea first, and Miss will be able to have hot tea to drink when she comes back later."
"Oh, I see." The two girls in the room finished speaking, and began to wipe the table and stool again.
Yuzhu is the beautiful girl, her tea-making skills are the best among several people, and she is busy going to the yard to see if the water is boiling.
Agarwood looks in the middle, has a slightly chubby figure, and is checking the inner room to see if the house has been cleaned up. The azure curtains, the rouge bedding with rich flowers, and the round moon pillow are all just in time.
Yuzhu walked out of the yard and saw Erya walk in, "Miss, the house is all cleaned up, and the slave maid will make tea." β
Erya nodded and took Mama Feng into the house.
"Mama Feng, in the future, the general affairs of this family will be managed by you and me, I don't have high requirements for my subordinates, but I must be loyal."
"Miss, rest assured, although the old slave has not read seriously, he also understands the meaning of being loyal to the Lord."
Mama Feng's tone was resolute, and Erya nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, no matter who you worked for before, since you have entered my Lu Mansion, as long as you are loyal, I, Lu Fengming, will never treat you badly." β
Hearing these words, Mama Feng's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that there would be a master who would talk to her like this in her lifetime.
She and Mama Lin watched the princess grow up, but after they had a concubine, they listened to the words of the traitor, thinking that she had embezzled the silver of the princess's mansion, so they sold her by the concubine, but they didn't know the concubine...... Alas, I don't want to, but now with the new master, I don't think about those old things.
"Boss, boss!" Lu Zhong's voice sounded outside the courtyard, Lu Zhong was a man, it was not easy to come in, Er Ya asked Zhilan to call him in. It's broad daylight, and she's never cared about the red tape, so it doesn't hurt to let him in.
Lu Zhong strode in, "Miss, someone came to visit!" β
"Visit?" Erya looked at Lu Zhong suspiciously, she didn't know anyone in Lin'an City, how could anyone come to visit. "Who's visiting?"
Lu Zhong took a breath, "It's the one, it's the one who tied me and the two young ladies on the boat that day!" "He also wants to take advantage of the boss, which is really hateful.
As soon as Lu Zhong said it, Erya understood that it was Gong Jueyi. "Tell him that it's not good for me to meet him as a girl, and there's no need to meet, just tell you something." Er Ya originally wanted Lu Zhong to tell him to get out, and Lu Zhong must be happy to do this, but offending people is not a good choice, and Er Ya had to suppress the urge to scold him.
Lu Zhong nodded and ran out again.
"Miss, the old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Mama Feng said.
"Say it, it's okay."
"You're still a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, how can you let a foreign man come in and out of your place at will?" Mama Feng came into contact with famous ladies in the capital, and her manners and appearances were extremely exquisite, and she had never seen this kind of scene.
Erya smiled, "I was about to tell you, we are not as famous as the capital, I am just a girl who has set up a female household, there is no father and brother at home, for these boudoir etiquette, I don't need much, so Mama also has to learn to get used to it." β
Mama Feng heard too much information from Erya's words, a woman who has set up a female household has such a big family business and she can support it alone? It seems that her own lady is by no means an ordinary woman.
"Yes, the old slave is talkative."
While speaking, Yuzhu, agarwood, and Angelica dahurica all packed up and stood in the hall.
"Miss, the maidservants have already cleaned up the main courtyard." Yuzhu stepped forward and saluted.
Er Ya nodded, looked around, on the wooden shelves on both sides of the hall, some vases and other ornaments were placed in a staggered manner, and the arrangement was just right, worthy of being from the princess's mansion, and things could be done without teaching.
"Mama Feng, you will take Zhilan and Agarwood to Fanghua Pavilion later, and Zhilan and Agarwood will serve the third and fourth ladies respectively in the future."
"Yes, slave understands." Mama Feng nodded and glanced at Zhilan and Agarwood, who had a somewhat lost expression. I couldn't help but scold these two people for being stupid, in Miss's heart, Miss Third and Miss Fourth are extremely important, just beat her into the house to see Er Ya talking to the two young ladies and behaving like her, what a good thing it is to be able to go to Fanghua Pavilion to serve, but these two people are not satisfied.
Erya obviously saw it too, but ignored it, turned her head to look at Yuzhu and said, "In the future, you will be on an errand in Tonghua Courtyard, and listen to Mama Feng in everything."
Mama Feng couldn't help but feel happy on her face when she heard this, it seemed that the young lady attached great importance to her.
At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and Erya waved his hand to let a few people go down, and instructed Lu Zhong to go to Wanfulou to order a few tables of dishes, and let people send them to the house, and they should celebrate it today.
Yuzhu went to the front yard, and Mama Feng was also busy recording the valuables in the yard. In fact, there are no valuable things in the house, after all, it is not as thick as the family dignitaries.
Er Ya looked in the courtyard, the sky was covered with black clouds, and the thunder was accompanied by lightning that pierced the sky. I don't know if the bastard went back, it looks like it's going to rain heavily.
The yard is still a little empty, Er Ya wants to ask someone to plant some jasmine tomorrow, when the mother is still there, I like jasmine the most, and my father will bring two jasmine plants back to my mother when I see jasmine on the mountain, and a lot of jasmine was planted behind the house at that time, but unfortunately they were destroyed by the second aunt Lu Lin.
Summer rainstorms always come quickly, and it doesn't take long for big raindrops to crackle and smash everywhere. It was windy and rainy, and Erya felt a little cool and wanted to go into the inner room to find a coat.
As soon as he entered the inner room, a figure suddenly threw Erya down on the soft bed, the person was drenched, Erya was startled, and his hands were clenched into fists to hit the person on his body, but he heard a familiar voice: "What a ruthless girl, she let her fiancΓ© get drenched in the rain outside."
