Shen Yuechen has never been the kind of person who likes to drill the tip of the horns and get to the bottom of it. However, for Mama Song, she has a rare curiosity.

From the first time she saw Mama Song, Shen Yuechen faintly felt that she was a person with a story.

Although her dress is simple, and there are no jewelry patterns on her body, she can give people a slightly high temperament.

With fair skin, bright eyes, and an indifferent expression, all of this shows that her origin is unusual, at least not from a poor family.

Mama Song always deliberately keeps a low profile, but it shows her difference even more. Especially the small details between gestures, the calmness of the tone when speaking, and the calmness of not being shocked, are not something that can be cultivated by doing foul language.

Zhu Jintang's point stopped Shen Yuechen's curiosity for the time being, but it couldn't make her stop wondering.

The best way to dispel doubts is to solve them. Shen Yuechen doesn't like to beat around the bush, instead of knocking on the side and asking around, it is better to ask the parties directly and make it simple.

Shen Yuechen deliberately chose a quiet time and sent Mama Song over for tea.

Mama Song knew that Shen Yuechen was happy, so she deliberately chose a pot of pomegranates that she had carefully planted, which meant that there were many sons and many blessings, and it was a very pleasing gift. In addition, it was carefully taken care of by Mama Song herself, which is naturally more beautiful.

Shen Yuechen saw the pot of pomegranates and liked it very much, and hurriedly raised her hand to signal Mama Song to get up, "Mama sit down and talk, Chunming will take a seat." ”

When Mama Song heard this, she slowly got up and said, "The slave maid should have come to ask the eldest grandmother for an early time to ask An Daoxi, but the things in the garden have been busy recently, and the slave and maid are not easy to withdraw." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Mama doesn't have to be polite. ”

Mama Song was calm as usual, and she didn't seem to be curious about why Shen Yuechen suddenly called her.

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, and then spoke: "Tianxianglou's business has been good in the past two days, and the balsam balm made by Mama is very popular. ”

Mama Song replied lightly, then stopped talking, and waited for Shen Yuechen to continue to say something important.

After Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, she really spoke: "I am pregnant now, according to the old lady's wishes, naturally I can't go out at will." However, the business of Tianxianglou has just begun, and someone needs to take care of me for this trip. Originally, I wanted to be in my heart, but your position in the Zhu family seems to be a bit special and cannot be controlled by me at will, so things have become a little troublesome. ”

When Mama Song heard this, her face changed slightly.

Things really got so troublesome, she knew that sooner or later she would have such a day, and she would reluctantly spread out the old things in the past one by one to others.

Shen Yuechen saw that Mama Song's face had changed, so she deliberately slowed down her tone and said: "Mama is a very capable person, I have always been willing to give you a chance to get ahead, but you always have a lot of excuses, as if you just don't want to gain power in front of others." Mama Song, you are really a bit unpredictable to me. ”

Mama Song quietly listened to Shen Yuechen's words before she spoke: "Grandma wants to ask anything, just ask." ”

I have to say that Shen Yuechen was still very polite between words. However, the master is the master, and when it comes to this, there are some things that can't be concealed if you want to.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she also said directly: "Mama has been in the Zhu family for many years, she must have served someone before, right?" ”

She has been an errand boy in the garden for more than ten years, but she has been in the Zhu family for almost twenty years, and she must have served a certain master.

Mama Song lowered her eyes and said: "Yes, the slave maid used to be the maid next to the old lady, and the slave maid served the old lady. ”

Her answer was the same as what Shen Yuechen thought in her heart.

Shen Yuechen nodded and said, "Then in that case, why was Mama sent to the garden on an errand?" ”

"If you go back to the grandmother, the slave maid is willing to go to the garden on an errand. Slaves and maids like to serve flowers and plants, and only serve flowers and plants, so the work in the garden is the best and most suitable for slaves and maids. ”

Presumably, in her opinion, it is much easier to serve flowers and plants than to serve people.

Shen Yuechen thought so, her heart was silent, it seemed that the past she was carrying in her heart must be very pleasant.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Mama Song said, "Is there anything else Grandma wants to know?" ”

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said: "No, I don't like to expose other people's scars, if Mama wants to say something, you can say it, I will do my best to help you, because I really want to reuse you." ”

Sometimes, the more you want to keep someone, the more you want to give her freedom and give her space. In this way, she can think clearly and make the best choice.

When Mama Song heard this, she was indeed a little surprised. She didn't care about her attitude, but also surprised Shen Yuechen's character.

She never commands, does not pretend, and never forces others, she is so indifferent, but looks at people and thinks it is reliable.

Mama Song is not a wooden person, she knows that Shen Yuechen wants to reuse her, and she has spent a lot of thought on this.

Although Mama Song doesn't want to do things in front of everyone, she can't help but know what to do.

"The slave is grateful for the hard work of the grandmother, and the slave is willing to listen to the grandmother anytime and anywhere. It's just that the old lady is disgusted with slaves and maids, so the eldest grandmother should stop worrying about slaves and maids, slaves and maids are just rough people. ”

Keeping a low profile is the best way to stay out of trouble. Moreover, Shen Yuechen is also a smart person, and he will not be a slave for the sake of a mere slave.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since that's the case, please ask Mama to take care of the big and small things in the garden for me and ensure the shipment." ”

Mama Song responded: "Ming'er's new goods will be delivered to Tianxianglou on time, grandma rest assured." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and then ordered Chunming to send off the guests.

Chun Ming went back and forth, walked up to Shen Yuechen, and asked softly, "Miss, if you want to know about Mama Song, the slave can inquire for you." ”

Shen Yuechen raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you inquire?" ”

Chun Ming smiled slightly: "Miss is pregnant now, everyone wants to slap you, even the maids in the upper room." ”

If you can't tie up with the master, it's almost good to play tricks with the subordinates. The old lady didn't like the maids to wander around the garden, but they all liked the rouge gouache made in the garden, so they often asked someone to send a lot of good things, and wanted to exchange the extra rouge gouache in their hands, and they became familiar with each other in the coming and going.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, he only said: "It's okay for you to inquire, just don't be too ostentatious, try to be careful." ”

Chun Ming nodded: "Miss, don't worry, the slave knows the measure." ”

Shen Yuechen immediately swept over her body and found that there was an extra silver bracelet on her wrist, and the earrings on her ears had also been changed.

It seems that her life has been a lot more nourishing recently.

"How much did the old lady reward you last time?" Shen Yuechen suddenly asked.

Chun Ming replied honestly: "The old lady rewarded the slaves and maids with two taels of silver each, and the eldest lady rewarded the slaves and maids with a red envelope of one or two silver each. ”

Shen Yuechen listened and said: "Happy is happy, but don't spend money indiscriminately, save it well, and keep it for the future as a dowry." ”

Chun Ming smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, and only lowered her head and said, "Miss, don't laugh, the slave will go and inquire about the news for you." With that, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Shen Yuechen looked at her back and smiled, it only took an hour for Chunming to go, and he found out the matter clearly.

Shen Yuechen originally thought that he would have to wait two days to find out, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Chun Ming smiled and said: "The slave maid also has the blessing of the eldest grandmother, so I asked for something real in front of them." ”

Shen Yuechen pointed to the small stool in front of him and asked her to sit down and speak slowly.

Chun Ming said slowly: "Miss, Mama Song is really a person with means, but you must not be careless." Her real name is Song Xiaoyue, she was the right-hand man next to the old lady before, she was the son of the old lady's maid, and her father and mother were both on errands in the Zhu family, but she died early. Mama Song grew up in front of the old lady since she was a child, and she was very decent in and out of the hospital. It is said that the old lady of that association raised her almost as half a daughter, and rarely let her do the work of the next people. Mama Song has followed the old lady since she was a child, so she has a very good relationship with the eldest and second masters. The old lady originally wanted to give Mama Song to one of them as a concubine. It's just that the eldest master is cautious and restrained, and the second young master is too attentive, and no one wants to follow Mama Song, and the old lady is worried about this, and when she wants to pick one for her, she finds that Mama Song actually hooked up with the old man......"

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "You said old man? ”

Chun Ming nodded again and again: "Miss is scared." The slave maid was also shocked when she first found out. However, this is all true, the person who Mama Song tried her best to hook up with has always been an old man. When the old lady found out about this, she was very angry and couldn't wait to get Mama Song out immediately. It's a pity that she is already the old man's person, so the old man wants to take her as a concubine. ”

Shen Yuechen straightened up and frowned, "If that's the case, why is she still on an errand in the garden." ”

Chun Ming smiled meaningfully: "This thing is blamed here." The old man was bent on taking Mama Song as a concubine, even despite the old lady's opposition. The old lady was very sad about this, but she nodded in agreement. Who knows, in the end, Mama Song actually said that she didn't want to, saying that she didn't want to be a concubine for the old man, and only begged the old man and the old lady to send her out. ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head unconsciously, only to feel that this matter sounded really rare.

Chun Ming breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Mama Song wants to leave the Zhu family, but the old man doesn't allow it, saying that since she is a member of the Zhu family, she can't leave casually. In the end, something happened, it is said that the old lady once wanted to let Mama Song go out of the house to marry in order to deal with the aftermath of the old man, but after a long time, it was still unsuccessful. In the end, Mama Song gave up her plan to leave the house and decided to stay in the Zhu family, and then she went to the garden to do things, and she has been working until now. ”

Shen Yuechen listened slightly, Mama Song's background was really not simple, and it even involved the old man.

Old Man Zhu is romantic, this is a well-known thing in the Zhu family. However, Mama Song's age is there, and there is too much difference between the two of them.

Although Mama Song is called Mama, she is estimated to be less than forty years old, but she is dressed plainly and loves to have a straight face, so she looks a little old.

Chun Ming told Shen Yuechen what she had heard, and then sighed softly.

"The slave maid thought that Mama Song was a proper person, but she never expected that she was also a scheming bad embryo. She is low-key, all because of the guilt in her heart, the old lady raised her as half a daughter, but she repaid her with resentment and seduced the old man, and she should be dealt with by the family law. ”

Shen Yuechen thinks differently from her, many things can't just look at the surface.

"Mama Song is low-key, which is due to her character." Shen Yuechen was convinced of this.

Mama Song's indifferent personality can't be disguised just by camouflage. If it weren't for the fact that the heart is like stopping water, and there is no desire, I would have been moved by those rich rewards a long time ago.

After listening to the story of Chunming, although Shen Yuechen felt surprised, after thinking about it, he also felt that it was not a big deal.

She has been married into the Zhu family for more than a year, and she has seen a lot of such things.

The dispute between wives and concubines, the secret fight between master and servant, all these are things that happen every day in the mansion.

If Mama Song really has the intention to seduce the old man, then what she wants in her heart must not be the current situation, and there must be something hidden in it.

……

Inside the workshop, the aroma is thick.

Mama Song was dressed plainly, with pure white sleeves, she first applied a thin layer of rose oil on her fingers, and after a little air drying, she wrapped the finished soap in wax paper piece by piece, and then put it into a small cardboard box printed with the logo of "Tianxianglou".

The little maids next to them washed their hands, scooped up a little incense powder with a spoon the size of a fingernail, and gently poured it into the white porcelain bottle.

These soap and incense powders will be sent to Tianxianglou early tomorrow morning, so the time is very rushed.

Mama Song personally packed fifty pieces of soap, and then ordered someone to move it to a cool and ventilated warehouse and put it away, and then send it out early tomorrow morning.

After being busy for most of the hour, she had to go out to breathe. It just so happened that the little maids were going to pick flowers in the garden, so they went with her.

She rarely has such leisure and leisure, she can wander around the garden, usually she has to worry about a lot of things, and now she has to do things for Shen Yuechen, so she is naturally more busy.

At this hour, there were very few people in the garden, except for the little maidens who walked up and down among the flowers, and occasionally laughed and laughed.

Mama Song heard the light laughter of the maids, and found a pavilion to sit down alone, rest her feet, and recuperate.

Who knows, she just closed her eyes, but after a while, she heard a sound of footsteps in her ears, and then someone spoke: "Slave maid to the old lady to say goodbye." The old lady is auspicious. ”

When Mama Song heard this, she subconsciously stood up, raised her eyes, and saw that the old lady was holding Mama Yang's hand and walking slowly.

Mama Song's first reaction was to hide, but Mama Yang's eyes were quick and she saw her at a glance.

Since you can't hide, you have to go over and salute.

Mama Song lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then walked over slowly.

Because of her old age and lack of movement, the old lady rarely comes to walk around the yard.

When the little maids saw her, they all bowed their heads timidly.

The old lady's gaze swept over them one by one, and finally fell on Mama Song's body, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "You are also here." ”

When Mama Song heard this, she immediately lowered her head, "The slave maid asks the old lady for peace." ”

The old lady said lightly: "Get up, what should you be busy with." ”

When everyone heard this, it was as if they had been amnestied, and Mama Song also carried a heart and slowly retreated. Who knows, the old lady suddenly said again: "Xiaoyue, you stay." ”

Moon...... Mama Song couldn't remember how long it had been since the old lady had called her like this, whether it was ten years or fifteen years......

Mama Song stopped when she heard the sound and stood quietly in place, waiting for the old lady's dispatch.

The old lady first looked at the flowers and plants in the garden, and then said, "You have taken good care of this garden." ”

Mama Song hung her heart and replied, "This is what slaves and maids should do." ”

When the old lady heard this, she suddenly paused on the ground, then looked at her face, and said lightly: "You shouldn't have been here, you chose the wrong one." ”

Mama Song's heart trembled, her eyes stared straight at the bluestone bricks on the ground, and she didn't say a word.

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, raise your head and let me see." ”

Mama Song's heart was like a stone falling, heavy, and it made people breathless.

However, she still did not raise her head, and looked at the old lady, at the person she had been unwilling to face.

The old lady's bright and sharp gaze fell on her face, then looked at it again and again, and said, "It's been more than ten years, and your appearance has hardly changed." ”

Mama Song bit her lower lip, and as soon as she met her eyes, she unconsciously wanted to stagger her gaze.

No matter what happened back then, she was guilty of the old lady's cultivation after all.

"My granddaughter-in-law praises you for being a capable person all day long, and now, I have wronged you a little if I let you be bored in this yard again."

Mama Song couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this.

The old lady continued: "My granddaughter-in-law is now pregnant and cannot work. If you have the heart, help her take care of the garden and the new shop, and don't let her bother. However, you must remember that it is your duty to do these errands well, and if you do not do them well, it is your sin. ”

Mama Song lowered her head and said, "The slave is stupid, how can I help the eldest grandmother......

The old lady smiled faintly: "You are indeed not very smart, but you are still a useful person in the end." ”

Since Shen Yuechen is interested in her, she even has to come over to inquire about the news. Then, the old lady is also willing to be a favor and fulfill her. After all, after so many years, her heart has faded......
