Chapter 7: Red House 07
Peach Grove
Shizuka finally waited for the next person sent by the Lin family in the capital, a grandmother and a maid about 9-10 years old, and three veterans who knew a little kung fu, because they were a little disabled, they didn't want to go back to their hometown, so they asked Jia Daishan of Rongguo Mansion to help find something to do, and it just so happened that Lin Ruhai was still given to marry Miss Rongguo Mansion Jia Min according to the plot. So Lin Ruhai found his father-in-law and asked him for three people who knew how to fight and had been soldiers, and went to Suzhou to help take care of his niece in the countryside. Jia Daishan agreed without saying a word.
Mama's surname is Jiang, she is the grandmother who is honored by Mrs. Lin's side, the old lady saw Shizuka so knowledgeable, knowing that she didn't like to come out, and didn't come forward, so she sent a nurturing grandma and taught her for a few years, and so Jiang Mama decided to stay or return to the capital by herself, and the other little maid was Lin Ruhai's second-class maid, who knew how to do medical skills, needlework, and a little fist and kick, her father was a soldier, a little soldier, and died during the war, and her stepmother sold her. Later, she recognized Mama Jiang as her adoptive mother.
The relationship between the personnel was quickly figured out, and after they met, they asked Xiaohong to take Mama and the new maid Xiaocui to go to the ear room to rest, and arranged for Steward Wu to give them a room and left it alone.
Mama Jiang saw that the concubine of the Lin family's big house was much stronger than the concubine, she was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, but she didn't do it very well, and she knew that she had 50,000 taels of silver tickets on her, but she didn't mention it, so it can be seen that she is a person who can carry it clearly.
It's a pity that the sister-in-law Lin is silent, she looks bright, and she is the same as her mother on the inside, the little family is short-eyed and has no knowledge. Originally, Mama Jiang came to see how the second lady was, if she raised the money after seeing the first meeting, then she would stay and teach for two years and then go back to the capital, if she didn't mention it, she would teach first, and whether she stayed to see how far her road was, but why didn't it seem that this second miss was not blind? Isn't it said that he is blind? I'm going to have to inquire about it tomorrow.
Shizuka was also relieved to see them leave, fortunately, the Wang family is gone, if the Wang family is here, then the grandmother sent someone to tell the grandmother to know, no, the family is about to be called back to the capital, the mother will definitely be angry, hehehe.
Mama Jiang came to the house to serve the young lady the next day, and directly asked about the eyes, and Xiaohong couldn't wait to say the reason.
Mama Jiang is a little unbelieving, but it is reasonable, the dispute between the concubines is always like this, alas.
Shizuka saw her expression and knew that she had passed the test for the time being, so she put down the matter first, and only asked, "Mama, I want to learn to read, embroidery and piano, can you help me find Mr.?" ”
"This embroidery, Xiaocui can teach you, if you are literate, the old slave will enlighten you for the time being, if you are sir, you have to write a letter to the second young master, let him find it and send it over."
"Let's do this for now, Mama, when are we going to start?"
"When the little lady finishes breakfast, she will learn to read and write in the morning, and learn etiquette and embroidery in the afternoon." Mama Jiang quickly arranged Shizuka's study career.
In this way, Shizuka was busy studying every day, and when she had time, she went to see the construction of her peach forest, and after learning to know words, she found an excuse to read books, and then drew construction drawings, and confessed to Steward Wu, and gave 5,000 taels of silver, Lin Ruhai's 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and the next day after she came, Mama Jiang gave it to her, so she became a little rich woman. And she has really become a young lady who does not step out of the door and does not go out of the second door under the upbringing of Mama Jiang. And Mama Jiang saw that her eyes were better, so naturally she couldn't do things casually, and naturally taught everything in detail.
This morning, she finished practicing the words, she took Xiaohong and Xiaocui, strolling in her own peach forest, although the New Year is about to begin, there are no leaves and no flowers on the tree, Shizuka feels very happy, although the space is reclaimed, but all the fruit trees are planted, or bought in the farm mall, but there can only be appreciated by yourself, this peach forest, but outside, is very good, Shizuka calculated the time, the mother is estimated to be born, she turned her head to Xiaohong and said, "You go and call Mama Jiang to come to the peach forest, I have something to say." ”
Mama Jiang came a quarter of an hour later, Shizuka looked at her and Xiaocui, her eyes suddenly became sharp and sharp, she glanced down at them, turned around and said, "You've been here for two or three months, right?" I should know my personality too? I just have one request, if you can do it, then continue to stay, if you can't do it, I will ask Steward Jin to arrange for you to return to Beijing. "Butler Jin was found by Steward Wu, and Steward Wu went to Suzhou City to accompany the Wang family.
Jiang Mama and Xiao Cui listened to the heart, their hearts turned a thousand times, thinking that this person likes to switch to his master, this is not a loyal servant, the little lady is to be their loyalty, if you don't express your position today, then you must not be able to stay, turn your head to look at the 10-mile peach forest that has not bloomed, this little lady's ability is not bad, it is still young now, and it has not grown, and people can only be delicate, but a scholarly fragrance, elegant temperament, and the style of being a person, it can be seen that he is not a person who will lose his subordinates, and the two of them are heartbroken. He knelt down and showed his loyalty.
Shizuka turned around, looked at them, helped them up with a smile, and then took out her mother's affairs and her own affairs, analyzed the Lin family's affairs, and said that after she was poisoned and blind, she was poisoned and cured her eyes, and so on. I also said my future plans, and I will definitely go to the capital, but not now.
Jiang Mama, after hearing the reasons for these things, I was relieved, no wonder when I first met, I felt that the little lady didn't say it so true, and I never saw my aunt, nor how many people in the family, it turned out that the little lady had this kind of plan at a young age, and it seemed that she was with the right person.
Xiaocui also went to the Lin family with Mama Jiang, and she is her adopted daughter, so she has always thought that Mama Jiang is the first to look forward, so there is no need to worry, but if you want to cultivate your henchmen, it is better for Steward Wu to find someone again.
Xiaohong's personality is like Wang's, she can't take on important responsibilities, although she is not used to slaves and maids, but she has to follow the customs of the locals, and she can't be sisters with the maids like the protagonists in other novels, which is unrealistic. can only treat them well and serve her for a while, so that they can rely on their old age and have a fragrant partner.
Shizuka pondered for a while and said, "Mama, is there any news from the Lin family in the capital?" Is Mrs. Lin pregnant? ”
Mama Jiang knew her thoughts, afraid that Mrs. Dafang would rob the Wang family's child, and afraid that the Lin family would not have the idea of having an heir, so she had to shake her head and say, "Miss, this old lady really doesn't like to be born, with the old lady here, Young Master Lin will not let the children of the concubine be born in front of the concubine, not to mention that they will only get married this year, the two of them are good, and the old lady will not find a time to stuff people." ”
Shizuka silently calculated the time, now Lin Ruhai has just been married for less than half a year, it is indeed early, how about waiting 5-6 years for Daiyu to be born, right? At that time, she was only 14 years old, and at that time, Lin Ruhai came to Yangzhou to patrol the salt imperial history. It wasn't until Daiyu was 3-4 years old that she had a younger brother, and her younger brother died when he was just over 1 year old, and then he was sent to Rongguo Mansion around the age of 5. Well, at that time, she was only about 20 years old, and there were still 12 years before she could go to the capital, so she was in no hurry, and the younger brother was 12 years old at that time, so she could go to the capital to study.
"Well, okay, I know, by the way, Mama, I don't plan to get married."
Boom, Mama Jiang, who heard this, her face changed greatly, how did she say this? Isn't this a dead end? "After listening to me, Mama Jiang promised your father that he would recruit a son-in-law, so there are some things that I don't have to learn so deeply."
When Mama Jiang heard this, she eased her emotions and nodded slowly, "Even if you promise the eldest young master, that's not bad, but then you can't find any good people, or is the little lady thinking about it?" ”
"No need, just do it according to my father's wishes, my mother and younger brother want me to take care of it, my younger brother is 8-9 years old, I have to wait for him to set up a door, I can't get married in a short time, time has passed, I can't find a good family when I'm older, it's better to simply arrange the matter of recruiting a son-in-law as soon as possible, and I won't be so anxious at that time."
"Little Miss, I'm thinking about it right, then I'm busy and I'll rearrange my homework, embroidery and calligraphy will be arranged in the morning, and etiquette will be learned for an hour in the afternoon, and etiquette will only be learned for half a year, just learn it with the official wife, as for the palace, I will see that the little lady is interested in talking about it in the future."
"It's okay, the palace should be interested in learning in the future, now I want to make money, I don't have time to learn, this peach forest is planted, and we will be busy next year when it blooms, peach blossom cake, peach cream, peach blossom oil, peach blossom wine, peach gum skin soup, hahaha, my peach blossom Yan."
Mama Jiang looked at this little lady in surprise, and when she heard what she said, she knew how profitable this peach forest was, not for good looks, but to make money, alas, the little lady is so pitiful, she has to take care of the family at a young age, alas.
"Little Miss, I want to remind you, don't show your face in front of a foreign man easily, although the family is still the daughter of the Houfu for five generations, although the old lady didn't recognize you, but Young Master Lin recognized it, not only participated in the funeral, but also took care of his sister-in-law and eldest niece, so you are also recognized by the young master, otherwise he will send me and return the silver."
"Okay, I got it." Shizuka smiled as she spoke.
Shizuka turned away from them, walked to a stone pier, and told Xiaocui to let Xiaohong bring her piano over, she wanted to play it today. Of course, she doesn't seem to, but she doesn't mind playing around.
Turning his head to Mama Jiang, he said, "Mama, can you find a female gentleman who teaches you to play the piano?" I really want to learn. ”
Mama Jiang lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "Is this the case, but I can write to ask the young master to see if there is one in the capital." ”
Shizuka thinks of a profession, they should have someone willing to teach, right? So he asked with happy eyes, "Mama, the ladies of the Qinglou should be willing to teach, right?" ”
Mama Jiang was stunned for a moment, this, how can this be?
