Chapter VIII

Zhou Fu is a servant of the Zhou family, born in the Zhou family Zhuangzi, at the age of six or seven, he was picked to run errands in the house, and worked until he was fifty or sixty years old.

He already knew that the young general was not married, and he had always lived in the camp, and there were all young men around him, and there was not even a maid waiting, why did he change sex this time and bring a little girl back from outside?

"Who is this?"

The little girl was still combing the girl's hairstyle, but she got off Zhou Hong's carriage, he couldn't figure out where the other party came from, and asked with a shy old face.

Zhou Hong glanced back at the little girl who jumped down from the carriage, and was standing at the gate in a daze, looking up, there were two majestic white marble lions standing at the door of Zhou's mansion, she reached out and touched the lion claw on the right side nearby, and seemed to appreciate this big guy. He said decisively: "Leaves! A girl sent by someone else on the way! ”

Zhou Fu was old and sophisticated, and immediately changed his attitude. The eyes of the servants waiting at the gate of the Zhou Mansion instantly became subtle.

Ye Zhiqing didn't know anything about this, she originally wanted to get her household registration documents and slip away, and she was not ready to take root in the Zhou Mansion, whether the people of the Zhou Mansion were kind or repulsive towards her, she didn't care about it, and followed Zhou Hong inside.

Zhou Fu is old, and his legs and feet have not been dexterous in the past two years, and it hurts to walk. It's just that the major general is back, even if his leg is broken, he has to serve by the side, and it will inevitably show his clumsy image if he takes a few more steps.

Ye Zhiqing followed behind Zhou Hong, and when she saw his walking posture, she asked casually: "Uncle Fu has joint pain?" ”

Zhou Fu felt that her attitude implied a stammer. He is the chief steward of the house, and the little steward Yahuan doesn't know how much he wants to have a relationship with him, all in order to be able to rub in front of the master to wait, or to be promoted from the lowest small maid to the first and second class, and raise the silver for a few more months.

He has to put on an enthusiastic face to the young general, but to a girl who is sent by an unknown source, then there is no need. He stiffened his face and said, "No." ”

Ye Zhiqing refused to give up: "Could it be that she has a bone spur?" I was afraid that he didn't understand, so he explained again: "It seems that there are more thin bones next to the kneecaps, and when you walk, it hurts like spikes buried in the flesh, is this the case?" ”

Zhou Fu didn't expect this little girl to guess it, but he had already put on a face on her, if he heard her right at this moment, he would change his earnest look and ask, which would inevitably make people laugh, so he could only endure the pain in his knees: "What do you little girl know?" ”

Ye Zhiqing didn't seem to be very happy when she saw this stubborn old man, and she finally tasted something, and the emotional family didn't bother to take care of her at all, but she was perfunctory, so she stopped chasing and asking.

It was him, not her, who hurt horizontally.

Zhou Hong heard it, and he didn't know if Ye Zhiqing really understood or was blind, he probably guessed Zhou Fu's symptoms correctly, but Zhou Fu was afraid of losing face, so he refused to answer.

He laughed secretly, and went back to his room to wash.

Since Ye Zhiqing is Zhou Hong's girl, she can only live in Zhou Hong's yard with her.

Zhou Hong is in the southeast water military camp all the year round, and it is rare to go back to the capital, and the threshold of the courtyard where Zhou Fu lived is about to be broken a few months ago. The mothers-in-law who had a young daughter in the family and gave birth to a bit of grace all came to the door with their private rooms, wanting Zhou Fu to arrange their daughters to wait in Zhou Hong's room.

The Zhou Mansion in the capital has been vacant for a long time, and only the masters occasionally live when they return to Beijing, although the old family members who stay in the old house are all old families, but these old families always have children and grandchildren, so that the young people can live in the old house, obviously they can't tie their hearts.

When the boys reach their age, they can also follow the southeast to run errands and deliver letters, and if they run a few more times, they may get the master's blue eyes and be left behind as an errand. But the maids can only stay in the back house for months and months as adults, and only wait until they reach the marriageable age, the master sent a letter, and according to the old practice, Zhou Fu ordered the mandarin ducks to match these maids with people.

Zhou Hong's return this time can be regarded as letting the maids in the old mansion see the dawn, and everyone who can't wait to dress up beautifully can wait for the young general once, and also have the opportunity to follow him to the southeast and run for a future.

When Zhou Hong went back to the room to undress, six or seven young and beautiful maids rushed into the room, all of them shy and timid, eager to pounce on him to wait for him, and four or five pairs of hands stretched out to pick up only one piece of clothing.

Ye Zhiqing was still carrying her own baggage and followed behind, Zhou Fu did not arrange a place for her to live, and wanted to wait to see Zhou Hong's attitude.

There is only one young general, he received the money from others, and then arranged eight young girls in the courtyard of the young general, who are fat and thin, each with its own merits, to give everyone a fair chance to compete for the post.

Ye Zhiqing was fortunate to watch the grand occasion of Zhou Hong being surrounded by all the beauties, remembering the scene when she was carried by someone and thrown out of the door, holding her stomach and almost laughing - someone will soon repeat her old path.

Zhou Hong was holding a cloak in his hand, and in the face of several pairs of hands that were stretched out diligently, he saw Ye Zhiqing at a glance who was squeezed to the outermost part by the crowd of maids, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw her smile evilly, raised his hand and threw the cloak into a ball, which smashed on her head and covered her whole person in the cloak.

Ye Zhiqing hurriedly pulled her head out of her cloak and glared at Zhou Hong angrily: "You ......"

Zhou Hong pointed at her: "Why don't you quickly put down your things and come over to serve the *waiter to bathe, you are as stupid as a wood, and you can't even serve *people?" ”

The girls were extremely disappointed, and they all turned their heads to look at her, wondering where she was better than everyone else, and the two of them came back in the same carriage, and they didn't make the young general tired of her.

The clothes that Mrs. He prepared for Ye Zhiqing were sold to ready-to-wear shops for discount, and she also bought three ordinary cloth dresses and skirts by the way. Looking at the clothes on her body, even the clothes on Zhou Fu's third-class maid ring are not as good, except that her face is more protein and her eyes are bigger, where can she compare to herself?

For a moment, all the maids in the room thought so in their hearts.

Zhou Hong raised his voice and shouted outside the door: "Uncle Fu-"

Zhou Fu arranged eight girls for Zhou Hong, thinking that even if he was strong, he would be able to do his best. Which of the young masters of various families in Beijing is not a bunch of girls in the room, just waiting for the stomach to be carried out, and then give the name.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hong returned to the room and blinked, so he shouted at the top of his voice. He didn't care about his leg pain, so he trotted in: "Does the young general have any other orders?" ”

Zhou Hong pointed to the group of maids standing in front of him: "What are these?" ”

Zhou Fu pretended to be confused: "They are all picked out to wait for the young general, if the young general thinks it is not enough, the old slave will pick a few more at this time." "Is this a lack of suspicion or is it not beautiful enough?

Zhou Hong waved his hand impatiently: "It's enough to have Ye Zi in my room waiting alone, send them all away, there are many people dizzy." ”

Zhou Fu really didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful, but she was given by someone else in the middle of the road, and she didn't know how many hands she had passed, maybe she didn't even have her innocence long ago, and she could still get close to the young general, which was really strange.

Sure enough, the women who came out of the unclean realm had a lot of wrists.

He regretted a little that he had heard her at the gate that she was a maid, and he had a lot of neglect towards her. Don't say anything else, look at the fact that the young general can't do without her, this person may be able to be an aunt in the future, why should he upset her.

It's just that...... He accepted the money from all the mothers-in-law in the house, and he couldn't really listen to Zhou Hong's words and drive all the maids away, and didn't give them a chance.

"Leaf ...... Miss Ye has just arrived and is not familiar with the house. The young general felt that it was enough for Miss Ye to wait alone, but when Miss Ye went out of this door, she didn't even know where to go to pick up food, so she had to leave a few people to clean up the house and take her to get acquainted with the environment. All the work is left to Miss Ye to do, but it's not to tire her out! ”

Ye Zhiqing nodded again and again: "Riding in the carriage along the way, my bones are about to fall apart, and it is easy to get to the ground, I just want to lie down and sleep for a few days." The young general counted on me to wait, but he was afraid that I would fall asleep today and not be able to get up tomorrow. It's better to leave the sisters waiting*. ”

Zhou Fu and the depressed Yahuan didn't expect her to intercede for everyone, and suddenly looked at her differently.

Only Zhou Hong knows what she thinks in her heart, and I'm afraid she can't wait to stay away from him. If it weren't for her household registration papers, where would she be willing to go to him.

"Let them go back wherever they came from, there are two rough envoys who sprinkle and sweep in this courtyard, the house is cleaned up by leaves, and there are guards to enter and exit, it is not convenient for them to stay in this courtyard."

Ye Zhiqing nodded again and again: "The young general is thinking about it very much!" In Zhou Hong's surprised eyes, she hurriedly added: "It is extremely inconvenient for me to keep the guards coming and going here, so it is better to let me live with my sisters." ”

Zhou Hong sneered, she immediately became obedient, and rubbed beside Zhou Hong with a smiling face: "Look at what I said, if I leave, the young general will be cold and no one will add clothes, and if he is thirsty, no one will serve tea, so I am to blame for not thinking about it!" "Her life-threatening things are left in the hands of others, where is there room for bargaining.

She just didn't understand that Zhou Hong initially disliked her in every way, if she hadn't hugged his thighs with a dead face, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been taken on the road by him. Why did he change his mind halfway through?

Men have a needle in their hearts, and sometimes they really can't guess!

After Zhou Hong blasted out all the beautiful girls arranged by Zhou Fu, he went to bathe and change his clothes. When he came out after washing, Ye Zhiqing was still holding her little burden with all her belongings, and sat in the hall with a sad face.

"You're not going to wash?"

Ye Zhiqing said with grievances: "Young General, you have blasted everyone clean with an order, who will take me to wash?" She didn't even know where she lived, let alone the hot water for bathing.
