Chapter VIII: Checking
Wen Jin knew the old lady's thoughts, so he opened his mouth to comfort, "It's the blessing that my mother and younger brother didn't let the old lady love." The old lady must not be overly sad! ”
"And the father is still young, and he only asks the heart of the son to be pious, and the grandmother will definitely not be able to hold the grandson."
The old lady burst into tears at Wen Jin's last words. poked Wen Jin's head, "You girl! You dare to do anything. ”
Although the old lady blamed in her words, she was happy in her tone. Wen Jin also smiled reluctantly. The death of her mother was a pain in her heart.
And although the grandmother likes the mother's daughter-in-law, what she cares about the most is the grandson after all.
After sending Wen Jin away, the old lady couldn't help but sigh. Fang Caiwen Jin's words reminded her that Jinyu is indeed young, and she has no children for so many years, perhaps because of the aunt in the house.
There are only two aunts in the house, which is indeed a little less!
In front of the warehouse, Wen Jin had already ordered Zhu Ye to open the door lock. With Mama Zhang in charge, the people in the house naturally dare not come to "join in the fun".
Mama Zhang was guarding outside, and Wen Jin walked in with Zhuye and Zhuqing.
Because the dowry in the treasury has been stored for a long time, and the dowry is an important thing, no one has ever cleaned it. Now the red lacquered wooden box is covered with dust.
Nowadays, the amount of work is large, and it is naturally impossible to do it with only two maids. So Wen Jin immediately made a decision, ordered Zhuqing to warm up Wen Pavilion, and called all the maids over.
Anyway, this dowry can't be hidden.
In addition to the autumn water and autumn moon, there are also four sprinkler maids. With the addition of Zhuye and Zhuqing, there are eight people.
There were sixty-four dowries in the storehouse, and each wooden box had a small lock on it. As for the key, it was in Wen Jin's hands.
Half an hour later, the maids had already dusted the boxes off.
Wen Jin instructed the four sprinklers to go back first, and then divided the bamboo leaves and autumn water into a group, and the bamboo green and autumn moon into a group. Each group takes a key and checks the dowry in the registration box.
Wen Jin only watched from the sidelines, turning around from time to time to see what was in the dowry.
Wen Jin casually picked up a golden phoenix hairpin and played with it, looking at it carefully. The corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile.
Sure enough, as my grandfather said, these pieces of jewelry are engraved with special patterns in inconspicuous places. These patterns are so delicate that if you don't look closely, they will only be used as patterns on jewelry.
The verification and registration in the warehouse are in full swing, and Mama Zhang outside sees everything in her eyes, if she has a little more praise for the eldest lady.
As the so-called suspects don't use, use people without suspicion. At first, the eldest lady didn't want to reuse autumn water and autumn moon. Nowadays, it is also used because of a lack of manpower.
It's just that she looked at it coldly, as long as this Qiushui and Qiuyue follow the eldest lady wholeheartedly, the eldest lady will not treat them badly.
What she admires is the methods of the eldest lady, who is not confined to a place where no one is available. Since she has used autumn water and months, she will naturally have the means to control them.
However, the old lady gave the eldest lady no problem. If the eldest lady keeps not using it, will it chill the old lady?
Although there were four people who checked it correctly, it was only half of it by noon. Wen Jin immediately instructed Zhu Qing and Zhu Ye, "You go and bring the food here, and it will be served here at noon." In the evening, I will add food for you with money. ”
Zhuqing and Zhuye are both Wenjin's cronies, so naturally they don't have to be so polite. Wen Jin's words were actually said to Qiushui and Qiuyue.
Mama Zhang saw all this in her eyes, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Wen Jin had already walked over to Mama Zhang with a smile at this time, "Mama is also tired, it is better to serve the old lady in the Spring Glory Hall!" I don't have to come in the afternoon, I can handle it. ”
Mama Zhang smiled, "I was ordered by the old lady to accompany the eldest lady to check the dowry, but now that the eldest lady is here, how dare I say that I am tired?" ”
When Wen Jin heard this, he smiled and said, "Then I have to grieve my grandmother to have lunch here." ”
Mama Zhang saluted respectfully, "This is what the old slave should do, the eldest lady doesn't have to be polite." ”
When Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing brought the food, Wen Jin ate alone, and Mama Zhang was also separated from the maids.
However, Wen Jin gave his own portion of the dishes to Mama Zhang and the four maids.
Mama Zhang looked at the eldest lady's handling method, and couldn't help but praise a little more in her heart. Although the eldest lady is kind, she also remembers the difference between master and servant, holds her own identity, and does not do anything that people despise.
It took another whole afternoon, and the four maids finally checked their things. When Madame was alive, she also used some dowry. And what things were taken, the lady was also registered.
Take those things out, and there are a lot of things in the storeroom. From this, it can be seen that Xiangye and the old lady are guarding this dowry with their hearts.
After locking the wooden boxes one by one, Wen Jin ordered someone to lock the door of the warehouse.
At this time, Mama Zhang saluted autonomously, "Since the eldest lady has checked it, the old slave will go to serve the old lady first." ”
Wen Jin smiled and stuffed a purse to Mama Zhang, "It's really tiring Mama." ”
The smile on Mama Zhang's face did not decrease, and she did not refuse the kindness of the eldest lady. After saluting, he left the storehouse.
Nuan Wenge, Wen Jin sat upright on the chair, "It's been a busy day, and you're all tired." I've already asked the little girl Xiang'er and Fang'er to go to the kitchen to get food, you guys go and rest first! ”
None of the four big maids were tired, only that this was what slaves and maids should do. The slave and maid are to wait in front of the young lady.
Wen Jin didn't object to this, if they really responded, she really had to think about whether she didn't have the ability to control it? After all, as a maid, you can't be tired.
At dinner, the dishes of the four big girls were really much better than usual. Even the rough maid also added vegetables.
Bamboo leaves and bamboo green are not surprised, but Qiushui and several months have already felt the benefits of following the eldest lady in their hearts.
The eldest lady is kind and kind, and she is a person who does what she says.
Chunrong Hall, after the old lady finished dinner, Mama Zhang handed over a cup of tea.
Mama Zhang told the old lady about today's eldest lady's performance. When the old lady heard this, she just smiled and said, "She's a good one, and I can't be wrong." ”
The old lady said again, "You pay attention, see which maid is good, and if you want to keep to yourself and be smarter, I will keep it for the master." ”
Mama Zhang responded thoughtfully, "The old slave now has a candidate." ”
The old lady asked, "Which girl?" ”
"Xia He and Dong Mei, who are waiting by the master's side, are good candidates. The two of them know a lot about literature and ink, and they have been waiting by the master's side, so it is suitable to come. Mama Zhang said tentatively.
The old lady wrung her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then waved her hand and said, "No, there are not many suitable maids to serve by the master's side, if these two people become concubines, then it is inevitable that there will be other thoughts when serving the master's daily life and sitting." ”
Hearing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly changed her words, "Is it that the old slave is not thoughtful, or is the old lady thoughtful." ”
"It's just that the old slave thinks that if she is too well-behaved and peaceful, she will inevitably be invigorated by Aunt Song." Mama Zhang said cautiously.
Hearing this, the old lady also nodded, "What you are worried about is not unreasonable, this matter needs to be carefully considered!" ”
