Chapter Twenty-Three: The Twin Rainbows (II) Minor Repairs of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion
Qi Su Niang listened to Qin Daoran invite her to go to the prince's mansion, she was startled, her face turned cold, and she said to the door: "Sister Shuanghong, please go back and tell the big housekeeper that my brother told me to close the house before leaving, and I can't go out." "She is not a slave in the Ninth Master's Mansion, she is very impatient to go to the master to wait, let alone this **** Qin Daoran.
The double rainbow voice was eager, "Girl, today was the third wash of Da Gege, but the ninth master was on fire, and he became angry, and drove the minions who responded outside the fifth room out, and it was already a mess." The chief steward is inseparable, the second steward is not there, the chief steward said that the girl is the person in front of the queen mother, and she knows the rules best. ”
Qi Su Niang knew that Qi Qiang was in charge of the affairs of the outer house in the house, in addition to a deputy steward, there were also 20 rooms of slaves, and went to the fifth room, but she was indeed unable to support it, but she was not a slave of the Ninth Master's Mansion, even if she only invited close relatives for the three rites, she could not be guilty of an unmarried woman to go outside to support.
Shuanghong was already crying when she spoke, "Girl, if you don't go, the slave and maid really can't explain to the big housekeeper, and ask the girl to be considerate of the slave." ”
Qi Su Niang heard the cry, remembered the appearance of this pair of rainbows, it was originally the concubine Wan Yan's dowry girl, but she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and she also had a few postures, this time Mrs. Wan Yan had a body, in order to fix her favor, she let her wait for the ninth master for a few nights - Qi Su Niang frowned, suppressed the churning in her heart, put on her shirt, and went over to open the door.
She looked at Shuanghong, who was holding a burden on her chest and her little face was full of teardrops, and said softly: "Didn't Concubine Yi send the grandmother in the palace?" What about Delong, the deputy steward of the outer house? ”
Shuanghong wiped her tears and said: "Back to the girl's words, it was because Mama Guerjia, Mama Hu Jia and several housekeepers in the house quarreled, which scared Da Gege into tears, so the master got angry and drove a few housekeepers out of the house." The men are all in the front, so they are short-staffed. Delong's family was also kicked out of the house. He added: "The two grandmothers are the people of Concubine Yi, so they can't have seizures, but where can they be allowed to take care of things outside." Da Gege is the first child of the Ninth Master, and the house has never done three washing before, and the remaining dozen or so rooms don't understand the rules......"
Qi Su Niang heard that Delong was also kicked out, and only then did she understand why she couldn't find the person on the top, one was indeed not very clear about the rules, and the other was that now that the position of deputy steward was vacant, how could any of the minions in the dozen or so houses not be hot, naturally they were not convinced by each other, and each dragged its feet. Although he is not afraid that they will dare to mess things up, Da Gege is the eldest daughter of the Ninth Master, and she must want to do this baptism ceremony decently, and she will never make the slightest mistake, so she is going to find an outsider to take the lead.
Qi Su Niang was extremely hesitant, she was a Han and a woman who had not left the cabinet, and there was no reason to support her in the palace outside the prince's mansion. Shuanghong saw her standing still, and begged: "Girl, the slave also knows that the girl is in trouble, and I just ask the girl for the sake of the second steward......"
Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, and sighed, Qin Daoran opened his mouth, but he couldn't shirk it, in the end, Qi Qiang was a person from the Nine Masters' Mansion, and he still had tendons when he broke his bones. Moreover, a slave can only be a slave, and her rules and decency are really not worth mentioning compared to the master's errands.
Qi Su Niang smiled bitterly: "If you want me to serve people, don't ask me to take care of things, all the grandmothers and uncles in the house are not trouble-free people." And he said, "What is the chief steward busy with?" ”
Shuanghong saw that she didn't mean to refuse, she was a little relieved, and she also laughed: "The ninth master sent the big housekeeper to do something, and the slave and maid don't know." Girl, don't worry, the big steward has spoken, Aunt Wen and my mother are both understanding people. After that, he raised the burden in his hand and said, "The slave has already brought her dress over, and asked the girl to change her clothes, but it is already starting to be messed up over there." ”
Qi Su Niang nodded helplessly, went back to the room and washed up urgently, turned her head to see, Shuanghong had shaken off the scarlet forged cheongsam, the narrow cuffs and the hem of the long robe were decorated with dark gold brocade, and the surface of the dress was decorated with a hundred flower patterns, which was very festive, and I thought it was newly made for this washing three banquets.
Qi Su Niang was a little dumbfounded, she came to this world, she has been wearing Han-style short robes and skirts, and the same is true in the palace, although she wears it when she learns the rules, but she especially remembers the feeling of wearing the bottom of the flower pot and suffering, and the matter has come to this point, so she has to smile and say: "I don't know how to comb my hair, so I have to bother my sister." ”
Shuanghong grinned and nodded, "Don't worry, girl, I can comb my hair." Glancing at Qi Su Niang's dresser, she was very envious, and said, "Girl, this box of lotus powder is also from Hangzhou Guan Yuhe?" Rouge is Bian Fumao's? That's what our lady Wanyan uses. ”
Qi Su Niang said with a smile while dressing: "My brother gave it, the lotus powder smells good, but the rose rouge is a little stronger, I haven't touched it yet, let's get my hair right."
Shuanghong is really skillful, but half a pillar of incense has taken care of Qi Su Niang properly, at this time there was already the sound of firecrackers in the house, Qi Su Niang saw that she was anxious, and knew that the house was afraid that it would not be able to hold on, so she took four inner pearls inlaid with silver beads and put them on, put on some lotus powder, and went to the Nine Masters Mansion together.
