Chapter 200: The Noble Man (2)
Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, and said again: "By the way, what is the name of the maid who was favored by the second master?" ”
Seeing that she was interested in this matter again, Mama Liu hurriedly replied: "That girl was originally called Chun Tao, but the slave maid thought her name was too gaudy, so she changed it to "Little Peach". ”
Little Peach ...... Shen Yuechen silently recited the name in his heart, and then smiled faintly: "Well, just hearing the name makes me feel like a likable child." ”
As soon as she mentioned this matter, Mama Liu's conversation box immediately opened, and she deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Grandma, don't you know, that girl looks quite good, when she was bought in, the slave maid was a little worried that the girl's appearance would make the men in the house tempted...... The slave was worried that she would be a trouble, so she asked her to do some chores that were not easy to run into people, but she didn't think about it, she was actually a scheming person, and she bumped into the eyes of her masters all day long......"
However, after only two days of entering the mansion, she was able to attract the attention of the second master, Zhu Jinlun, saying that she was useless in any means, who could believe it?
Shen Yuechen saw that she said so much in one breath, and there was a slight impatience in her eyes, but she still asked lightly: "Since you know that she is a trouble, why did you buy her in the first place?" ”
Mama Liu sighed in embarrassment: "Alas, Aunt Sun has been sick, and the maids who are waiting around her have to see the prescription every day to boil medicine and catch medicine, so you must be literate." Xiao Tao's girl can write and read, and the slave fell in love with her at a glance. ”
Mama Liu was very dishonest in what she said, at the beginning, she was also worried that Xiao Tao's appearance was too ostentatious, and once she entered the house, she would definitely be photographed by her master in the future. However, because she privately accepted the benefits of people's teeth, she also turned a blind eye and simply bought her together, making more money by the way.
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Hearing you say this, it can be seen that the child is still a reader." No wonder she was caught by the second master, which is also her blessing. ”
Mama Liu seemed to smile: "That girl can be regarded as meeting a nobleman." The second master has a gentle temperament and is both talented and beautiful, and it is of course a great blessing for her to be able to serve such a master. ”
Shen Yuechen smiled faintly, said no more, just glanced at the opposite room, and continued: "Since the situation of the Sun family and the Qin family is not good, then I will not go, you can take care of it." ”
Mama Liu nodded in response, saluted, and respectfully sent her out of the hospital.
Shen Yuechen slowly walked out of the South Courtyard, looked up at the bright spring, and said with a slight smile: "Mother Wu, the weather is good today, after you go back, take the children out for a walk." ”
Mother Wu nodded: "Yes, the best time of the year has arrived." ”
Shen Yuechen's feet were a little slower, and she deliberately walked side by side with Wu's mother, and when she was about to reach out to hold her arm, Wu's mother said, "Miss can't help it, don't be seen." ”
Shen Yuechen directly grabbed her arm, patted the back of her hand, and said, "It's okay, my legs will be a little sore, and my mother will help me a little." ”
Mother Wu nodded silently, walked quietly with her for a while, looked up at the surrounding scenery, and said lightly: "Miss's method seems to have worked." ”
Shen Yuechen lowered his eyes and looked at the petals scattered on the ground, and said softly: "It's hard to say now, maybe it will work, maybe it won't." ”
Wu Ma said: "Miss's eyes on people have always been very accurate, and this time it is the same. ”
Shen Yuechen looked at the peach blossoms that stretched in front of him, pink, white, and flawless.
"Delicate flowers, delicate people. The child is as perfect as this flower, and anyone who sees it will love it. ”
Shen Yuechen stretched out his slender fingers and tapped the stamen, but accidentally touched a petal, and then said softly: "That child's matter, let's never mention it in the future, everything should be as if nothing had happened." Whether she goes or stays in the future depends on the child's own ability. ”
Wu's mother responded: "This is nature. The kid had nothing to do with the young lady. ”
The opportunities between people are wonderful and wonderful.
The grace of a meal at the beginning, and the thread of the present day, everything seems to be a coincidence, but it is not a coincidence.
A child who is like a flower should not be a slave, she deserves a better life, and they just gave her a chance.
Wu's mother still clearly remembers the scene of meeting Chun Tao on the street that day. She was disheveled, dirty, and unkempt, and people didn't want to look at her more. However, Wu's mother still noticed her because she had a pair of very attractive eyes. Although her face is full of dust, her facial features are small, and if she washes her face, she will definitely be a little girl with a good appearance.
Mother Wu originally planned to continue walking, but after taking a few steps, she still turned back. She bought a few buns from the vendors along the street and gave them to the children who were being sold on the street, but before she could say anything, the food in her hand had already been robbed, and she almost scratched her hand.
Standing in the corner, she didn't grab it because she was a shot late, and stood in place in frustration and aggrieved, lowering her eyes without saying a word.
Seeing that she was pitiful, Wu's mother thought she would cry, and was about to turn around to buy a few more buns, but saw the child suddenly pounce on her companion, snatch the half-bitten buns in her hand, and then gobble them into her mouth.
Wu's mother was slightly stunned, only to feel that she was the person that the young lady needed, and then looked at the old woman on the side and asked, "What is the child's name?" ”
The old woman greeted her with a smile, revealing her mouth full of yellow teeth: "These children are all accepted from the village, and they have no names or surnames." If you fancy any of them, throw down half the money, take it back, and give her whatever name you want. ”
As soon as her words fell, the child suddenly spoke: "My name is Li Chuntao, the spring of spring, the peach of peach blossoms." ”
When the old woman heard this, she was immediately unhappy, and her expression became a little hideous, and she raised her hand to give her a slap, and reprimanded: "Eyeless cheap thing, blind interjection." ”
Wu's mother couldn't see the child being beaten, so she hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, you don't have to do it, I just ask." ”
The old woman hurriedly came up again, and stammered: "Ouch, this eldest sister, at first glance, you have a rich and noble face, and you must be a kind and good person." If you really think this child is pitiful, just give a few dollars and take it back, so that you can be a cattle servant......"
Mother Wu looked at Chun Tao and saw that she was looking at herself with a look of hope, and after a little hesitation, she took out the silver bag from her sleeve.
Her actions made the old woman's eyes light up, who knows, Wu Ma took out two taels of silver and put it in her hand, and said, "This silver is not used to buy her." Give the child a bath, dress up, and send it to Zhu's house early the day after tomorrow to see if he can be selected as a maid. If she is chosen, I will give you two taels more when I go back. ”
The old woman was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that there was such a good thing in this world. Moreover, she had never encountered such a strange business, so she hurriedly grabbed the silver and said, "What are you...... Okay, it's easy to do things with silver, you are a distinguished guest, what do you say you should do? Early the day after tomorrow, I will definitely send this child over on time, but the Zhu family has never accepted these girls of unknown origin, I am afraid that I will ......"
Wu's mother said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, just dress up this child." When the time comes, your benefits will be indispensable. ”
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly responded, turned around and patted Chun Tao's shoulder, and reminded: "Stupid thing, don't kowtow to your nobleman." ”
Chun Tao seemed to understand when she heard it, and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Mother Wu halfway and said: "Child, I am not your nobleman, and it will not be too late to kneel down when I see your real nobleman in the future." ”
Thinking of this, Wu Ma retracted her thoughts, exhaled softly and said, "It seems that we didn't choose the wrong person, she is even smarter than we imagined." ”
"Mom has always had a unique vision." Shen Yuechen smiled: "Look, the peach blossoms here are blooming so well, send someone to break a few branches and take them back." ”
At dusk, Zhu Jintang returned all the way back to the West Courtyard, and before entering the door, he heard the crisp and immature laughter of the children.
Zhu Jintang listened, and his spirit was happy.
As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, and when I looked up, I saw that on the table in the center of the room, the square vase was filled with pink and bright peach blossoms, looking quietly, it was like a painting, giving people a faint and warm feeling.
Zhu Jintang stood at the table, and he could clearly see the scene of Shen Yuechen playing with the children in the inner room, they were smiling so happily, so carefree, and their whole body was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, exuding a soft light.
Zhu Jintang stood in place, unable to bear to disturb them, just watched silently, and felt something different in his heart. He thought that there was nothing wrong with his persistence, she was the most suitable person for him, and she was also the most suitable mother for her children.
The warm laughter is heartwarming.
Seeing Zhu Jintang's tall figure, Shen Yuechen stood up with a smile and looked at him.
"Uncle is back, why don't you stand still?"
Zhu Jintang smiled faintly and did not speak.
Shen Yuechen could see that he was in a good mood at the moment, and at this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his smiling face, as if his face was plated with a faint golden light.
Shen Yuechen stared at his bright smile, and thought to herself, he smiled, she liked to see him laugh, so she would do her best to protect this hard-won smile.
……
It's just a day's work, the Zhu family is talking about the maid called "Little Peach", Chai naturally heard a few words, originally she didn't pay much attention, after all, her son Nylon is not young, and it is normal to have women around him.
However, this will not be far from the day when he gets married, it doesn't matter if there are many house-filling maids around him, but it can't be people of unknown origin.
Chai thought about it, and finally called his son Nylon over after dinner.
The mother and son have always liked to talk straight.
As soon as Chai saw him, he got straight to the point and said, "I heard that you asked for a maid from the South Courtyard." ”
Zhu Jinlun sat down slowly and said, "That's right, my mother's news is really well-informed." ”
Chai Shi said lightly: "This kind of thing is not common, and people will inevitably talk about it." Do you like that maid? ”
"I really like it, she's very good-looking." Zhu Nylon said truthfully.
When Chai heard this, he groaned slightly: "Then how do you place that maid?" I don't even know where she came from, don't be a random person, let herself get dirty. ”
Zhu Jinlun smiled when he heard this, "Mother, don't worry, I haven't touched her yet." ”
He is not a person who does not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, he likes to take his time in everything, and it is best to go with the flow.
When Chai Shi heard this, his heart calmed down a little, and he only said: "In this case, you can send her to me for a few days first." ”
Zhu Jinlun asked, "Does my mother want to place her personally?" ”
Chai Shi waved his hand and said, "No, I just want to help someone help you train the newcomer, so that she doesn't know what to do." ”
When Zhu Jintang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Since my mother said so, let's do it." Don't be too harsh, though, so as not to frighten her. ”
Chai raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you going to start feeling distressed at this point?" Alas, rest assured, I won't eat her. ”
