When Qiao'er heard this, she was slightly stunned at first, and her eyes flickered slightly.

She has been serving by Brother Xuan'er's side for many days, and she has been diligent and cautious, just to have a chance to get ahead in the future. She knew that she was lucky, she had only been in the house for less than a year, and she had the opportunity to work as an errand by her grandmother's side.

Although he just does some chores, in terms of food and clothing, it is enough to make those maids and women in the outer courtyard envious.

Qiao'er raised her head very seriously and said: "Of course the slave maid is willing, and she can serve by the side of the eldest grandmother, but the blessing that the slave and maid have cultivated for several generations ......"

Shen Yuechen raised her hand, interrupted her words, and said, "I saw that you were clever, so I took a fancy to you." In the future, you will follow Cuixin to learn more and see more, some errands seem easy, but they are difficult to do. You have to be modest, and when you are skilled in everything, you will come to my house and keep vigil to see if you can do it well. ”

Qiao'er listened carefully to what she said, nodded again and again: "Thanks to the eldest grandmother's attention, the slave must follow Sister Cuixin to learn to do things and not let you down." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and told her to step back first, go back to pack her luggage, and move over to live with Cuixin.

Qiao'er happily withdrew, smiling happily.

Shen Yuechen leaned back and looked down at Brother Xuan in his arms.

The child was well-behaved, lying in her arms without crying or making a fuss, with her mouth slightly open, gently sucking her fingers, and looking at ease.

Shen Yuechen kissed him on the forehead, and he opened his mouth and smiled.

He can recognize people now, but he still can't understand what adults are saying, and occasionally babbling a few words, which is also chaotic.

Brother Ming is very talented and can speak very early, and the family believes that this is a manifestation of his natural intelligence.

Brother Xuan is different from Brother Ming, he is a real child, from the first time she saw him, Shen Yuechen knew that her son was not a traverser.

Brother Xuan'er's eyes were soft, as pure as a clear mountain stream, without any flaws.

The mother and son looked at each other silently. Suddenly, Brother Xuan'er's little mouth opened slightly and yawned.

Looks like he's going to get sleepy again.

Shen Yuechen smiled softly and hugged him tighter, wanting him to sleep comfortably in the crook of his arm like this.

Brother Xuan squinted at her as if he was sleeping, and his eyes began to gradually become sloppy, dozing off little by little.

Shen Yuechen gently patted him on the back and softly hummed the lullaby that he had temporarily remembered.

After a while, Cui Xin led the two little maids back to serve, and when she saw that Shen Yuechen was coaxing Brother Ming, she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Miss is careful that her hands hurt, give it to the slave maid." After speaking, he slowly stretched out his hand and prepared to take the child.

Shen Yuechen shook her head silently, she was not weak to that point now, and besides, the child was about to fall asleep, if this would move him, wouldn't it disturb his sweet dreams.

Shen Yuechen insisted on holding Brother Xuan by herself, only waiting for him to breathe evenly and fall asleep completely, before she motioned to Cuixin and the maids to clean up the bed again, put him down gently, covered him with the quilt, and then took Cuixin's hand, slowly got out of bed, and came to the outside room to sit.

Cui Xin told Mo'er to go in and stay by the bedside, she was the quietest and didn't like to talk.

In the past few days, Shen Yuechen has accumulated a lot of things on hand in order to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and it is rare that her spirit is not bad, so she took advantage of the child's sleep to call the account book and several housekeepers over for questioning.

Recently, there have been many newcomers in the courtyards of the Zhu family, and at the same time, many old people have also been sent out in the courtyard.

Once the maids are over eighteen years old, they must be sent out of the house as soon as possible.

These maids were all brought in after signing a deed of sale.

Shen Yuechen flipped through the roster of newcomers, and looked at the total number again, there were as many as twenty-six.

It seems that the recent personnel changes in the family are not small.

Carefully calculated, Chun Ming's age is also over eighteen years old. However, she is a dowry maid, and it stands to reason that even if she reaches her age, she will not leave the house, most of them have to stay and serve all the time, or she is favored by her master and selected as her aunt, and since then she has turned over and escaped from slavery.

However, Shen Yuechen didn't plan to do so. Because after Zhu Jintang came back, he no longer had the intention of taking concubines to add a house.

Shen Yuechen had no intention of letting Chun Ming go out of the house, after all, since she got married, she has always been doing things by her side, and she is also trained by herself, and she can be regarded as her confidant.

Shen Yuechen actually wanted to be a person with Chunming, so she asked her to learn to manage things with Mother Wu. It's just that trust is trust, and for the sake of long-term solutions, it is necessary to find a home for her first.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can say what will happen in the future. If you want Chunming to stay by her side in a down-to-earth manner, you must first let her have no distractions and settle down in peace.

Chunming is nineteen years old this year, and it stands to reason that she should have gotten married a long time ago, but she never mentioned it.

Shen Yuechen wanted to trust her completely, but before that, she wanted to cut off the thoughts and hopes in her heart that she shouldn't have.

In the evening of that day, following Wu's mother, I came back to serve Shen Yuechen for dinner after being busy with spring tea for most of the day.

Although she has begun to learn to manage chores, she still does not dare to forget her duty, no matter how tired she is every day, she has to come back to Shen Yuechen's side to serve her diet and daily life, and she is still as careful as before.

Chun Ming still knows very well in her heart, how long and smooth can she go forward? It all depends on the young lady's arrangement and preferences.

As long as you serve the young lady well, satisfy her, and let her feel relieved, you can live a decent and prosperous life in the Zhu family.

Shen Yuechen happened to have something to say to her, and when she saw her coming, she pointed to the opposite position and said, "Don't be busy yet, come and sit down, I have something to say to you." ”

When Chun Ming heard this, she hurriedly and cautiously glanced at her face, and saw that she was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Miss, what do you have to say?"

Shen Yuechen smiled and said: "There are a few new maids in the courtyard, I heard that they are all thirteen or fourteen years old, I am afraid it is not easy to teach." ”

Chun Ming said with a serious face: "Back to Miss's words." It's really not easy to teach, but fortunately, they are all selected and selected, so as long as the slaves and maids put a little more thought, over time, they will always be neat and clever one by one. ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The days go by really fast in a flash." It suddenly occurred to me that you are nineteen years old this year. ”

Chun Ming was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt passed through her heart, I don't know why Miss suddenly mentioned her age.

"If Miss Hui is back, the slave maid will be nineteen this year."

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "I remember too, you are two years older than me." ”

Chun Ming's heart hung slightly, and suddenly remembered that many eighteen-year-old maids had been released in the courtyard before, and she couldn't help but stiffen her expression and have a bad premonition.

"It's also my fool who is the master, and I actually neglected your age, it stands to reason that you should have been married a long time ago."

When Chun Ming heard this, her left eyelid jumped slightly unconsciously, and she hurriedly said, "Miss, you don't want the slave to leave the house, do you?" ”

She was in a hurry, and she didn't worry so much, she asked directly, and then got up and knelt on the ground, her face full of nervousness and uneasiness.

Shen Yuechen saw her nervous appearance, and hurriedly said, "Who said I was going to let you go?" Don't worry, sit down and listen to me slowly. ”

Chun Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and got up and sat down again.

Shen Yuechen has never been the kind of person who is moody and turns his face when he says it. Her temper has always been gentle, and she has just promoted herself, so how could she suddenly let her go.

Chun Ming felt a little less worried, but her tone was still nervous, and she said, "Miss, if you have anything, just tell me." You can ask the slave to do anything......"

Shen Yuechen said with a gentle face: "You are my dowry maid, how could I be willing to let you out." I just suddenly remembered your age, thinking that you are so old and have not yet allowed anyone, it is really a bit delayed. The best years of a woman, just a few years, I don't want you to be wronged......"

Chun Ming lowered her eyes slightly, "Slaves and maids serving Miss is already the greatest blessing." As long as she can stay by Miss's side, the slave will not be wronged in anything. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled: "When you say this, I am naturally happy to hear it." However, I want to come and go, but I still can't delay you like this anymore, so I want to find a home for you, so that you are also stable, and I am relieved. ”

She said this pun, Chunming is not a foolish person, so she can naturally understand it.

It is said that according to her appearance, it is almost impossible to try something against Zhu Jintang. And at her age, it would be a little embarrassing to be placed in the inner courtyard.

Uncle's temper, Chunming understands it best.

He and Miss have gone through so many ups and downs, and their relationship is already inseparable, and they can't tolerate anyone else.

"Miss...... The slave doesn't want to get married yet, the slave just wants to do her part first and share your worries for the young lady. Chun Ming said frankly what she thought. Where does the slave know her place? I will never be obsessed with ghosts, do some ridiculous things that can't be put on the stage, and embarrass you, Miss. ”

In the past, she didn't have no ideas in her heart, after all, she was a wedding maid, and if she wanted to climb a high branch and be the master, it was not an excessive idea. However, the longer she stayed by Shen Yuechen and Zhu Jintang's side, the more faint the idea of climbing the high branches in her heart became, so that in the end, she directly and completely broke off this thought.

It is naturally good to climb high branches and be the master, but you must first see how capable you are......
