Chapter 38: Choosing a New Person
Caiyun was frightened, she was sold to the Jiang family at a few years, the Jiang family has a simple population, and the Guo family has a good heart, and she lives with her in the Jiang family, she doesn't suffer at all.
Now that she is going to be sold, how can she bear such suffering.
She threw herself at Yun Duoduo's feet: "Don't, girl, save me!" ”
Yun Duoduo shrank behind Mrs. Du and whispered, "Don't pull me, I don't want to provoke what you do!" ”
Her thin body shrunk behind Mrs. Du, looking particularly pitiful.
Mrs. Jiang concluded that Caiyun was a tricky girl, hooked up with Jiang Ruyu and bullied Yun Duoduo!
"Drag her down!" The old lady shouted angrily, and several mothers-in-law pulled Caiyun down.
The sound here led Guo Shi over, Guo Shi has always been quiet, and when he saw this meeting, he was only obedient.
Fluttershy was hiding far away, but when she came to see the scene, she was terrified and cowered to the sidelines.
On the second day, the Jiang family sent Caiyun out.
After sending Caiyun away, Jiang's grandmother saw that Yun Duoduo was pitiful, and she didn't even have a good maid by her side, so she immediately asked Zhang's mother next to her to assign a maid to her.
Zhang's mother replied: "The old lady instructed, naturally it must be done well, but you have to pick it well, and find a safe one for the cousin." ”
The old lady thought that it made sense, so she didn't say anything, feeling that Zhang's mother was dedicated and told her to choose a good one for Yun Duoduo.
That night, someone came into Zhang's mother's room, it was her old acquaintance, Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang's family and the Jiang family are on the same street, her husband died a long time ago, and life is not good, knowing that the Jiang family is good-natured, she brought her daughter to the Jiang family to work as a domestic helper.
Now that her adopted son has become a family, married a filial daughter-in-law, and the family lives a good life, she will no longer work in the Jiang family, and go back to enjoy happiness with her son and daughter-in-law.
Her daughter is still in the Jiang family.
"Mother Zhang hasn't seen her for a few days." Mrs. Wang held a cloth bag in her hand and stuffed it into Zhang's mother's hand.
Zhang's mother was surprised: "Oh, what are you doing, what kind of friendship do you have between the two of us, what are you doing with things!" ”
Mrs. Wang took Zhang's mother's hand and said, "Oh, it's a bag of tea at home, grown by my daughter-in-law's mother's family, it's not worth a few dollars, I'll give you a little." ”
Zhang's mother opened it and saw that it was good tea, so she accepted it.
"You are blessed, your son is promising, and your daughter-in-law is also filial, where is it like me, I have no children and no daughters......" Zhang's mother sighed.
Mrs. Wang flattered: "What did you say, you are so decent in the Jiang family, the three Langjun are all your grandmothers, and the old lady values you, what else is wrong with you?" Look at what you are wearing, what is the difference between what you wear and the lady of other people's families, in the future, when you are old, the three Langjun will kowtow to you to the end. ”
Mother Zhang listened to this and nodded with satisfaction.
She lived with the Jiang family when she was young, and the Jiang family was not suddenly rich, it was originally a well-off family, she helped take care of Miss Lang Jun, and she was conscientious. For so many years, the Jiang family has long regarded her as a family member.
When the daughters-in-law of the three Langjun of the Jiang family entered the door, the old lady all advised: This is Mother Zhang, who is accompanying us in hardship.
In terms of decency, she can be regarded as the most decent in the Jiang family.
Mrs. Wang saw that this sycophant was right, and took Zhang's mother's hand again, and said with a smile: "You are so decent now, my girl will take care of you." ”
Zhang's mother smiled: "That's nature! Xia Hong was grown up by me, and I treated her like my daughter. ”
Mrs. Wang said: "Xia Hong's girl, her hands and feet are not good, and she doesn't know how to read, she follows Sanlang Jun Niangzi, she is always trembling, I, I just want to ask you to change her place." ”
Zhang's mother also knows that the third lady Bai is neat, and there is no room for sand in her eyes, and the little maids are afraid of her, and she can't be lazy in doing things under her nose.
The Jiang family, the personal maids, is the most difficult for the Bai family to do, and many people are trying to find a way to run away from her.
Originally, the maid brought by the Bai family from her mother's family to marry, Xia Hong or the old lady personally arranged it, because the Bai family was literate and hyphenated, and Xia Hong was the daughter left by the old man, so she should always be treated preferentially, not let her take it in the kitchen, let her follow the third lady, and be more decent.
How do you know that in the past few months, Xia Hong has known how powerful the Bai family is, this lady is aware of everything, and she can't play tricks under her nose at all.
"Our three ladies are a little too strict, but in this house, there is nowhere else to go, Miss Linghui is too young, Xiaohong is almost sixteen, and it is not okay to follow her." Zhang's mother said.
Mrs. Wang whispered: "It's not okay to follow the third lady, you can follow the second lady." The second lady has the best temperament. ”
Zhang's mother was stunned.
The second lady has a good temperament, but ah, no one in this courtyard wants to follow her.
Because she is widowed and childless, she is destined to be a lonely person, such a person has no hope, she can only eat fasting and chanting Buddha for the rest of her life. She has no hope, and the people below naturally have no hope.
Now people also look at the master, she has no hope, and she will be bullied by others if she follows her, and there is no way out in the future, let alone any oil and water.
Moreover, the second lady is widowed, and the people in her yard are naturally restrained, and girls are not free, not to mention that they can't go out often, and it's not even good to wander around the Jiang family's big yard.
Good girls are delayed.
"Although the third lady is a little stricter, but with the third lady can often go out, and you can also meet outsiders, Xia Hong is such a sign, so that people can see that it is good to come and ask for marriage, and follow the second lady to nest in the small courtyard, and no one knows about the good girl." Zhang's mother said, "You don't have a calculation at this point." ”
Mrs. Wang said: "Hey, don't our second ladies have a cousin!" ”
"Cousin!" Zhang's mother was stunned.
That's right, the cousin girl is now living with the second lady Guo, Guo takes care of her, and when she grows up in the future, the second lady will naturally give her a dowry and treat her as a daughter.
My cousin should also treat her as a mother.
The second lady now has hope.
Now the old lady loves her cousin like this again, and there are some benefits to following her, not to mention, the little girl in the countryside doesn't need to be a young lady in the county, so she can handle some things, she doesn't have many things, and her life is not fine, and she doesn't have to do anything except daily work with them!
Where is it like the third lady, you have to serve tea and pour water, dress her up, and polish the ink, and you have to wait for her all the time!
"The second lady is good at needlework, she has little work there, she can learn to needle and thread, and she can do some work, and the extra money can be saved by herself." Mrs. Wang said, "I can't help it, I came to beg you, Xia Hong is not small, our family is not that rich family, I can't give her much dowry, she can follow the master well, save some money by herself, and marry someone in the future." Even if you follow your cousin to someone's house in the future, there is a way out, which is better than following the third lady's thorn! ”
Mother Zhang nodded: "This is also reasonable, it just so happens that there is a girl who has committed an accident in this cousin, I, I will let Xia Hong make up for it tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Wang took Zhang's mother's hand with satisfaction: "Hey! I knew that you treated us Xia Hong well, and I just heard about Caiyun's girl, so I came to you, and they all said that you are the most talkative person here! ”
Zhang's mother nodded in satisfaction.
In the evening, another person came.
This time it is a girl in an embroidery room, Luo Xiu, she bought it since she was a child, it is a death deed, she has flexible hands and feet, and her appearance is not handsome enough, so she works in the Jiang family's embroidery room, and the Jiang family gives her monthly money to live.
Luo Xiu has no father and mother, and she is ordinary, she has been in the embroidery room for so many years, and now she is seventeen, and she has no one to help Zhang Luo's marriage, so she thinks that she can change places and walk around in front of her master.
Although she looks ordinary, her brain is really flexible, and she heard that Yun Duoduo was short of people, so she came over to beg.
"Mother Zhang, you see that I am also an honest person, I have been working in the embroidery room of the I Jiang family for so many years, and I am a poor person without parents and brothers, so I can't just do it in the embroidery room for a lifetime." This time, Luo Xiu found out that the bag was really a bag of broken silver.
Zhang's mother checked it, about four taels!
Luo Xiu saw that she didn't refuse, so she hurriedly said: "Mother Zhang, you are a good person, pity me, I follow Miss Biao, I must work hard, I just ask the masters to help me find a good person to match, it's better than being so headless and brainless in the embroidery room." ”
Zhang's mother nodded: "You are also a brain." ”
She paused, and said, "However, our second lady is widowed, my cousin is defective, and she has no mother, so there can't be too many people in this small courtyard." ”
A widow and a filial piety should be divided into An'an, and the warblers and swallows in the yard are all maids.
"There can only be two people in this courtyard, and Xia Hong has already said that she will make up for it." Mother Zhang said, and there are some regrets, this Luo Xiu handed over a full four taels of silver!
I knew it earlier, so I didn't agree to Xia Hong's mother so early!
Luo Xiu said: "This ...... Mother Zhang, it's nothing for more than one person, but it's just that the monthly money on the account is more, not to mention that our Jiang family doesn't lack that idea money, that is, I am the person bought by the Jiang family, what is the monthly money, it's nothing if I have more or less, I just cut and do more embroidery work every month, won't I make it back? ”
She is a person who was bought by a death deed, and she is tired of doing it in the embroidery room. Can enter the master to serve, there is a monthly money not to mention, free days can do embroidery work, after handing in the prescribed part, more will make up the money to her.
Therefore, even if she is not counted in the small courtyard and does not give her monthly money, it is not bad to have the embroidery money that has been made up.
Moreover, she can serve in front of her master, and Miss Biao is a little girl from the countryside, such a person is easy to handle, and it is easy to get some money!
How can this account be paid!
Mother Zhang glanced at her: "It's good that you can have such knowledge, then you can go with Xia Hong." ”
