Chapter XII Requests
When Liu heard this, he sat on the side of the kang, and diligently picked up the beauty and beat Mrs. Tai's legs, and he was very intimate with Sun.
"You!" Sun Shi poked her forehead with his finger, "My remaining two second-class maids, Ruxiang and Yingxiang, will be rewarded to the eldest son of the long room and the third room respectively!" ”
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for being here first, old lady!" Liu Shi said with a smile on his face.
"Mother, how can this be, if you reward all the second-class maids around you, the things in your room ......"
Mrs. Tai didn't wait for Wang to finish speaking, and patted her hand comfortingly, "There is also Mother Hang, wait for her to train a few more, and I will give each of these grandchildren a competent one by their side." ”
Mrs. Sun did not forget to look around at every junior in the house with a loving face.
Mother Hang wasted no time in saying: "The old slave must be dedicated!" ”
Sun nodded, and then sorted out the forehead wipe on his head, "Okay, let's all disperse today, you all go back to your own business, you don't always have to accompany me, an old woman." ”
Wang, Luo, and Liu said a few more polite words, and then led their children to disperse.
On the way back to Hongxun Courtyard, the sun had quietly poked its head out.
A glimmer of light shines down, reflecting the falling snow on the branches more crystal clear.
Roche intimately asked Hua Chen if he had any ideas for moving to the outer courtyard and what he wanted to add.
Hua Chen sent her away with just one sentence, all according to her mother's arrangement.
The rest of the people didn't say anything all the way, and when they returned to Honghun Courtyard, they each went back to their own residences.
When Hua Jin took off her cloak and sat on the big kang near the window, Bai Tao made tea, and she asked Zhi Tao, "You are lively and sociable, you are more familiar with the people in the house, do you know about the four second-class maids beside your grandmother?" ”
Zhi Tao said without thinking: "The four second-class maids beside Mrs. Tai, Xixiang and Lingxiang, were bought from the outside people in the year of the disaster, and they entered the eyes of Hang's mother, and they have been training by their side, and Ruxiang and Yingxiang have more or less something to do with the stewards in this house. Xixiang, Lingxiang, Rue Xiang and Yingxiang have always wanted to be promoted to first-class maids, but the status of the sisters around Mrs. Tai has always been very stable. ”
After listening to Zhi Tao's words, Hua Jin thought about it for a while, and it was not difficult to understand Mrs. Tai's intentions.
According to the regulations, there are now four first-class maids around Mrs. Fuli and several ladies, but the girls and young masters are now only second-class maids, and no one has taken the initiative to mention the first-class.
Now Mrs. Tai has assigned the second-class maids with the ability and level of first-class maids around her to each room, which is nothing more than providing them with another career upgrade route.
If there are no vacancies in the department, she has arranged this method of promotion after internal transfer many times in her career in her previous life, but she did not expect to encounter modern workplace techniques in this ancient backyard.
But these maids are all trained by Hang's mother, which is tantamount to a marionette in her hand, as for whether Mrs. Tai has another meaning to let them go to each room, she can only wait and see what happens.
Thinking of Mother Du's beating of the little maid in the morning, Hua Jin couldn't help but instruct Zhi Tao, "You have been going to the cover room or ear room where those little maids live for more than two days to see if there are any injuries on their bodies?" ”
Zhi Tao responded, "Fifth girl, I'll pay attention." ”
Hua Jin thought of a farther place......
…………
At this time, the second room of the main landlord of Chaohui Courtyard, which should have been restored to silence, suddenly heard the crisp cracking sound of porcelain smashing on the ground, followed by the maid's begging for mercy: "Mrs. Tai, it's the slave's fault, you spare the slave!" ”
When Hang's mother heard the voice, she just wanted to lift the curtain and go in, when she heard a "pop", followed by Mrs. Tai's angry voice: "Get out!" ”
After hesitating, Hang's mother saw the fragment of the teacup in Fudong's hand, ran out in tears, and almost collided with her.
Knowing that Mrs. Tai might be in a bad mood today, she kept the most careful and favorite of Mrs. Tai by her side, but she still didn't expect it......
Hang's mother sighed softly, motioned for Fudong to go down first, and she entered the east room with a twelve-point caution.
Seeing Mrs. Tai leaning on the big kang near the window, her eyes slightly closed, and her brows furrowed, I knew that she had committed the old problem of headache again.
Hang's mother walked over quietly, leaning on the kang and helping her massage and soothe her with her usual techniques.
Gradually, Mrs. Tai's frowning brows gradually unfolded.
Mrs. Tai waved her hand, and Hang's mother wanted to quietly withdraw, but as soon as she turned around, she heard the sharp voice with the vicissitudes of time: "She is dead, she is still ghostly, and she still wants to affect my life!" ”
"Mrs. Tai, you are too worried, people die like ashes, how can you still influence others?"
While Hang's mother said this, she kept silently reciting in her heart: Amitabha! The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion!
Mrs. Tai listened to Hang's mother's words, her hand was still tightly grasping the silk forging pillow under her, and the green tendons on the back of her hand were highlighted, "For so many years, she has choked on my throat like a fish bone, and also choked between me and the old marquis." ”
Mother Hang spoke more carefully, "Mrs. Tai, it is you who have been by the old marquis's side for so many years. ”
Mrs. Tai sneered: "But when he died, all he thought about was her." ”
"Mrs. Tai, everything has passed, and now you are the Mrs. of the Marquis of Jingning!"
"Yes! I'm Mrs. Tai, and I'm still in control of the inner courtyard of this Zhang family! Madame Tai's eyes became even more gloomy and cold, as if a sharp sword was about to pierce someone.
Hang's mother's hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but clench together, and it was not easy to suppress the trembling of her body.
…………
After lunch, Hua Jin took Bai Tao and Zhi Tao to his brother's yard.
Rouxiang ushered in, "The fifth girl is here, and the fourth young master is in the study." ”
Hua Jin bowed slightly, and led the white peach into the study with the soft fragrance.
At this time, the elder brother was standing in front of the large bookcase of rosewood, as if he was thinking about something.
Obviously he looks like a young man under the age of twelve, but he really looks a little young and old.
Hua Jin couldn't help snickering, and was caught by Hua Chen, who turned to look over.
"Brother." Huajin is slightly blessed.
In memory, my sister had never had such a naughty smile, and Hua Chen unconsciously smiled, "My sister is here." ”
Hua Jin didn't beat around the bush, "Brother, sister has a request for coming this time." ”
"Sister, you might as well say it directly." He pointed to the Taishi chair and asked her to sit.
Hua Jin and Hua Chen sat left and right, Rouxiang had already served tea, and the two brothers and sisters took the tea again.
Hua Jin didn't drink it, put the tea on the table, and looked sideways at Hua Chen, "Brother, do you remember Mother Chen?" ”
