CHAPTER XVI

"No, you don't have to have so many people, do you?" Redsleeves is really not used to being served by so many people; Even if it is comfortable to be served by someone, but being served by many people, she has a really heavy burden in her heart.

"Lots of people? Not much. My sisters, it's the same around everyone, it's the rule; In addition to these people, there is another nurse, four parenting mothers, you have a nurse, and the matter of raising mothers should not be solved for a while; If you want to come, let the people in the house think that you are different from the girls in our family, just as many people as you want, I don't care. ”

"Since it is a rule, it is good to do what you say; It's just how many people do you need? Red Sleeves naturally knows what it means to follow the local customs, and what she needs to do now is not to make people feel different.

Shen Miaoge nodded with satisfaction, and then lowered his head and said silently: "The people around me should have the same number of people in the inner house as you; But I have people from my ancestors and grandmothers, so there are more of them than you; As for the people outside, you don't have to worry about it, the people in the inner house, you prepare four big girls for me, five second-class girls, and more than a dozen little girls, you can look at it. ”

Red Sleeves agreed, and asked people to go out and call Hong'er's two big girls to come over and serve Shen Miaoge to rest in the west room.

As soon as Shen Miaoge left, the nurse Zhao came over and whispered, "Girl, how can you let the fifth master live in the west?" He is the little ancestor of the Shen Mansion, the person who everyone holds in his hands. ”

Red Sleeves immediately understood when she heard this: Speaking of which, Shen Miaoge can be compared to her top boss in the unit, how can she live more comfortably than her top boss? Even if Shen Miaoge doesn't care, what about the three generations of the Shen family?

She knew that she was really not fully adapting to it, and she was far from having the flexible mind she used to have in the company; She nodded lightly: "I haven't cleaned it up today, so I'll temporarily wronged the fifth master; Let's take a break, and then clean up the east house first, and then the east house will be the ——, guest room we prepared for the fifth master of the Shen family. ”

She had to live in the Westinghouse.

The east house is much larger, and the outer room is a warm pavilion with a small entrance; The Westinghouse, on the other hand, has only one hallway-style outer room, and the room is much smaller than the one on the east side.

However, the Shen family is the Hou Ye, so the room is larger than ordinary people's, the West House is smaller, and the red sleeves look much larger than their own snail house in the previous life.

Redsleeves also slept for a while, but when she got up, she found that there were many more people in the courtyard; After asking the Zhao family, I found out that it was Mrs. Shen who sent those people to help; With these people here, Red Sleeves woke up for more than an hour and cleaned up: some subtleties of course had to be cleaned up by Red Sleeves' master and servant.

After Shen Miaoge woke up, he sat on the eaves and left; Before he left, he made a very strange request to Redsleeves, he asked Redsleeves to buy more puppies and kittens in the past two days; Redsleeves wanted to ask him what he was for, but he left before he could ask others; She threw away her hand, and it was not too late to ask again in the evening or tomorrow.

She vaguely guessed, so she wanted to ask before buying it back.

Sent away the girls and daughters-in-law who came to help, and the red-sleeved master and servant did not immediately go to freshen up and change clothes, but sat down to eat two cups of tea and rested: the three of the Zhao family naturally did not dare to eat tea with the master in front of the red-sleeved, and they took turns to go to the pantry to eat tea.

When Zhao was about to tidy up tonight's meal, there was a burst of laughter outside the door; Because there was no one in the yard now, Zhao opened the curtain and looked out, and after just one glance, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The girls are here?" Hurry up in the house please. Girls, girls have come to see you. ”

She opened the curtain while reporting to the red sleeves: "Girls, watch your step. ”

Red Sleeves was shocked when he heard this, and it was really inconvenient to see the clothes on his body, but he could only tidy up a little and greet him: "Sister and sisters are here, please; It's just that I'm really snubbing my sister and sisters, forgive my sins. ”

The girls of the Shen family had already walked in.

The four girls in front are of different sizes, but they look a little similar; The eldest girl smiled before she could say anything: "Where my sister spoke, it was because we were too anxious and didn't have time to freshen up for my sister." ”

The person who spoke, Red Sleeves, knew her, she was Shen Mengxi, the eldest girl of the Shen family (played by book friend Xi'er).

The two girls who followed behind, although they looked the same as the four girls in front of them, but the two of them looked more alike: at a glance, they knew that the two of them were sisters.

One of the eldest of them smiled and looked at the red sleeves: "The big sister is right; Sister Sleeve, go and change your clothes, we are all our own sisters, so we don't have to be so polite; In my opinion, my sister had better wash up and come back - we won't leave until dinner. ”

Although Red Sleeves didn't remember the names of these two girls, he knew that they were the daughters of Aunt Shen's grandmother.

The four girls of the Shen family all smiled and said, "Go ahead, go wash and change your clothes; Of course, we must also prepare delicious food and drink, otherwise our sisters will not follow. ”

They joked like this, because they were afraid that Red Sleeves would see them tight.

Red Sleeves didn't expect these girls to be so amiable and lovely, so he smiled and greeted them, invited them to sit down, and instructed Cha Xiang and Yun Xiang to make tea.

Mengxi smiled: "There are not many people in your yard, right?" Let's let our sisters' girls go over and help, you go and wash up with your girls, and leave us alone. ”

Red Sleeves naturally didn't agree: Where is there a reason to let the guests do it, but she really doesn't have manpower, and when she was in a dilemma, Shen Miaoge's voice came in: "It's better for my people to make tea for my sisters and sisters, and Sister Sleeves will go and freshen up by herself." ”

As Shen Miaoge spoke, the person had already been carried in.

When Red Sleeves was about to answer, Shen Mengyun, the second girl of Shen, quipped: "Exactly, exactly; The eldest sister said the wrong thing, it should be the fifth brother here to greet us, he is the male host here, what are you anxious about? If you let our people do it, it's a bit of a noise. She bit the three words of the man very hard.

Red Sleeves' face was slightly red when he heard this, but he was not familiar with the girls of the Shen family, so he had to give a light salute to the sin of neglect and go down to freshen up and change clothes; And this time, Shen Miaoge didn't blush, but just glanced at Shen Er's girl: "Second sister is naughty again, Ming'er, I got a good thing, only for the eldest sister and the younger sisters, I'll give her another share of yours." ”

Mengyun originally wanted to make a few more jokes, but thinking about those "good things", she still stopped, stepped forward and helped Shen Miaoge sit down: "Fifth brother, you are the best, sister, I will serve you, and you will forgive your sister; You must remember to give me my share of good things. ”

Shen Miaoge pointed at her forehead: "I will spare you this time, and I will not spare you if I am naughty next time." ”

Mengxi didn't speak, and when she heard this, she looked at Shen Miaoge and laughed, which made Shen Miaoge blush; He was uncomfortable and inconvenient to say anything about the eldest sister, so he turned his head and instructed Hong'er and Yu'er: "You each take a few little girls to the pantry and kitchen." ”

Hong'er and Yu'er agreed.

Mengxi just smiled, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "Fifth brother, your girl is going to change her name." ”

Shen Miaoge was stunned when she heard this: "What good name does the big sister have to reward them?" Mengxi smiled and covered her mouth: "Your girl's name is Hong'er, and this sound is against her mother." After speaking, she laughed, and the other girls also laughed, and the second girl of the Shen family laughed backwards and forwards, unable to help herself.

Shen Miaoge was a little embarrassed: "Big sister also came to make fun of me." Mengxi saw that he was really embarrassed, so he waved his handkerchief and said, "Don't laugh at you, don't laugh." ”

Just the fragrance of tea leads people to serve tea, and the tea tray in the hands of the girls is a green glazed lotus petal pattern without a lid tea cup, the tea cup is the rain over the azure color, and the tea is even more beautiful and beautiful.

As soon as Mengxi saw the tea painting, he exclaimed: "Good thing!" She took a cup and looked at it carefully, then she sniffed the aroma of tea and tasted it and said, "Good tea!" He looked at the tea leaves carefully and said: "I didn't expect this jade dew to be so delicious, this fragrance is really fresh and lovely, and the taste of the tea is even more mellow." ”

Shen Miaoge just smiled, but didn't say much; But the big sister praised this voice, which made him as happy as praising him.

After the red-sleeved change of clothes, he came over and laughed with the girls and had a meal, and felt that the girls of the Shen family were very good, and even the two girls of the aunt's family were also very cute-it was really right to come to live in this West Cross Courtyard.

When the girls said goodbye, Mengxi took the hand of the red sleeve: "I heard that my sister doesn't like to read, female red, although my sister is a general tiger girl, but the serious business of the girl's family is still in the female red and virtue, according to the foolish sister, after his sister is familiar with the people and things in the house, he came to study with our sisters to learn some needlework or something, okay?" ”

The red sleeves immediately nodded and agreed: The eldest girl of the Shen family has no malice, what she said is the truth of this era, and there is nothing wrong.

However, Red Sleeves doesn't think that these girls are just coquettish: in this huge Shen Mansion, can anyone still retain their innocence and survive?

Although the girls of the Shen family were laughing and laughing together, and there seemed to be no division between the concubines, Red Sleeves still found some small things, but she remembered them all in her heart and didn't say anything.

Shen Miaoge didn't say goodbye immediately, and played with the gifts that the girls gave to the red sleeves: it was just the sachets, handkerchiefs and other things they made; He suddenly said, "It seems that they must have gotten hints from their ancestors and grandmothers, and they actually treat you very well; He looked up at Red Sleeves: "You're not their first sister-in-law, and they're not giving things to their sister-in-law for the first time." This is a bit of a mention.

****
