Chapter Seventy-Nine: Selecting Candidates (2)
In the evening, Mama Li returned to Zhu's house, but before she could enter the hospital, she was stopped by Zhu An.
Zhu An asked her to help look at a few new embroideries under the pretext of asking her to help, but in fact he wanted to find an opportunity to ask her for help.
Mama Li knew his temperament most about going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and said with a slight smile: "It's rare today, our second steward Zhu actually remembered my old bones." ”
Zhu An sent the little guy around him away, poured tea for her in person, and said: "Mama said this, my little heart has always been thinking about honoring you." It's just that there have been too many things lately, and I really can't take a break...... You see, this has just been a little empty, and the little one immediately thinks of your old man. ”
After hearing this, Mama Li sighed: "Look at your flamboyant mouth, it's really all with your uncle." We are all acquaintances, and you don't have to spit a little bit, just say it if you have something. ”
Zhu An hurriedly smiled and said: "It's still shrewd and knows that the little one has something to ask for." Actually, it is a coincidence, the little one has a distant relative, the family raised a little girl, born white and clean, the hands are also dexterous, her parents asked me to find her an errand to do, it just so happened that there was a shortage of people in the courtyard on the west side of our house, I wanted to let my grandmother see, can you give me some thin noodles, and the little girl will also be ......"
When Mama Li heard this, she took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile: "Oh, if our second manager says so, if I say no, won't I slap you in the face?" ”
Zhu An knew that she was a person who ate soft and not hard, rolled her eyes, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and slapped her face: "What is this word, Mama, the little one is in front of your old man, how can there be any face, as long as you are happy, you can beat as many times as you want!" ”
Mama Li withdrew her hand in disgust and snorted lightly: "I don't have time to beat you for fun, if you really feel itchy, just go to your uncle, with his wrist, a slap can make you feel good to the end." Your uncle is in front of your uncle, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't know the details, why do you bother to find news so hard? ”
When Zhu An heard this, he didn't know how to be ashamed, so he cheekily continued: "My good mother, my dear grandmother, your old man will hurt the little one." My uncle follows him out all day long, and the business affairs are clear, but when I ask about the things in the house, I don't know anything. Moreover, our new grandmother looks like a difficult master. Before, the little one had already stumbled in front of her, and in the future, there must be no other mistakes, and I asked Mama to buy me a favor. After speaking, he took out the silver money prepared in advance from his cuffs, put it on the table and said, "A little meaning, please accept it." ”
Mama Li glanced at it and saw that it was ten taels of silver for an ingot, and said with a smile: "Buying a maid from outside is only ten taels of silver, and your idea is inevitably too big." ”
Zhu An smiled: "Filial piety to Mama is not much, please accept this little meaning, don't make me embarrassed." ”
When Mama Li heard this, she reached out and slapped the table, and her palm landed on the silver ingot, so she only accepted the silver and said, "Yes, when it comes to this, if I don't take it, I don't know how to lift it." Go back and bring that girl here, but if it looks pleasing to the eye, I will mention it, but in the end, I can't keep it, and it depends on what the grandmother says. You also know that our eldest grandmother is a young lady from an official family, so she is naturally more arrogant and has a higher vision......"
The older you get, the more slippery your head becomes, and you want to take money and don't want to do things.
Although Zhu An smiled on his face, he scolded her angrily in his heart.
Mama Li took the silver and went straight to the west courtyard to talk back to Shen Yuechen, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jintang had already returned, and he would also be in the room.
When Zhu Jintang came back, Shen Yuechen had just woken up, but fortunately, Chun Ming's eyes were quick, and when he wasn't paying attention, he quietly took out the hand stove.
Zhu Jintang knew that she was uncomfortable, so he only let her continue to crook, while he sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, touched it, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, invite someone to come in and take a look, don't bear it." ”
Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, and said, "The concubine is so squeamish." It's just that I'm too lazy. ”
While speaking, Cui Xin outside the door reported: "Mama Li is here." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pressed back by Zhu Jintang with her other hand. "You lie down, don't move."
Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that he was still holding his hand, and he had no intention of letting go.
Mama Li bowed in, saluted the two of them, and said with a smile on her face: "The old body is for the eldest young master, and the eldest young grandmother is for peace." The old man ran a few trips to the tooth line, and finally selected a few good maids, people, Ming'er can be sent to the house so that the young grandmother can look at each other. ”
Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "Mama has worked hard, I have been lazy these days, and I have relied on Mama's help to take care of things properly." After speaking, she beckoned to spring tea again, "Hurry up and show Mama tea on the seat." ”
Mama Li glanced at Zhu Jintang's face, saw that he had a straight face, didn't make a sound, and didn't dare to sit down for a while, but said: "Girl, don't be busy, the old body just came over to talk back, just stand, just stand." ”
Although she is a little older, her eyes are good, and she caught a glimpse of the hands of the two people holding each other from a distance, and immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look more.
Zhu Jintang glanced at Mama Li and said lightly: "Your grandmother has been lazy and quiet these two days. The matter of the new maid entering the hospital, let's slow down, so that everyone can be quiet and quiet. ”
Mama Li was shocked when she heard this, Zhu Jintang rarely asked about the inner house, but today she suddenly spoke, which was really shocking.
Not to mention that Mama Li was startled, even Shen Yuechen was full of surprise, and couldn't guess what was wrong with him. She sat quietly, glanced at Zhu Jintang's face, and found that his face didn't seem to be very good, and felt more and more strange in her heart.
Mama Li blinked slightly, and hurriedly answered: "What the uncle ordered." But...... The old man looked at the few people in this courtyard, and was worried that they would not be able to serve the uncle and the young grandmother in a hurry, so he was in a hurry. ”
Zhu Jintang's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and said in his heart, if the master says a word, she has a sentence, and sure enough, she is a person who likes to rely on the old and sell the old.
"I see." Zhu Jintang paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mama has a heart. However, this time, Mama has to keep her eyes open and pick carefully, so as not to make anything go wrong in the future, so that your old man's face will be dull and lose his dignity. ”
Mama Li heard that his tone was wrong, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and made a humble statement: "Uncle taught me a lesson." The old body must be up to twelve points of spirit this time, choose carefully, and choose well. ”
