Take the rules of this family as an example, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the concubine must go to the room every day to serve the mistress to wash and change clothes, and clean up the house, which is worse than the second-class maid next to the mistress.

They all work in the main room at night, and unless the husband calls them to serve them for the night, the housewife does not speak, and no one can leave.

Vanilla came out of the upper room, a dry maid followed and got up, gathered at the door, Vanilla walked to Lin Yingsleeve's side first, and said with a little affection: "Grandma came early, Mrs. hasn't gotten up yet, you go to the hall for tea?" ”

"Girl, you're welcome, I'm here to serve my wife, just wait here."

Vanilla looked at Lin Ying's sleeves without a trace, her face was lined with peach blossoms, her thin eyebrows and long eyelashes, her eyes were sheared, her nose was like a gall, her lips were plain teeth, and she was wearing ice muscles and jade bones. wore a peach-colored scattered flower pleated skirt, her hair was also changed to a woman's, she wore a pair of cordyceps on her head, and a four-butterfly silver step, which was decent.

"Auntie, wait a while, I'll go back to my wife."

Vanilla treated Lin Yingsleeve a little more affectionately, saying that it was back to his wife, but first asked the little maid to bring a small table to Lin Yingsleeve, put it under the begonia flower tree, and asked someone to bring tea, personally held it, and said quietly: "Grandma drinks tea, this is the cloud tea that our wife drinks on weekdays, but it can't be bought outside, and it is a good tea offered." It was sent by my uncle's wife. ”

Lin Yingsleeve said thank you, on the way to hear Caixi say that the wife's mother is the lord of Ronghua, and when she is the cousin of today's son, she is the daughter of an ordinary prince, and the good things in the palace are naturally used.

Seeing that Lin Yingsleeve only took a sip and put it down, Vanilla knew that she was a stable person, and her heart became more and more happy for Zhou.

went back to the main room and returned to Zhou's, and Zhou got up and asked Vanilla to change her clothes first, and then asked Lin Yingsleeve to come in, and there was no one left in front of her.

Lin Yingsleeve put the deed of sale in front of the Zhou family and said respectfully: "What does Mrs. want me to do?" ”

Zhou knew that Lin Yingsleeve had figured it out, looked at her carefully for a while, and said softly: "You are the daughter of a good family, and I will not treat you badly, you have one more share of the concubines in this mansion." I won't talk to you much now, I'll get familiar with it for a while, but I have something you have to keep in mind. ”

Lin Yingsleeve agreed, Zhou didn't let her sit down, paused, "Our Pei family is a big family, the second master is from the Hou Mansion, compared to ordinary people, you and I are serving the second master in the inner house, but you must know that I am the master, you are a slave, if you break the rules, no one can protect you." ”

When Lin Yingsleeve heard the word "Pei", she couldn't help but feel her heartbeat a little faster, and respectfully agreed, even if Zhou didn't say it, she didn't think about fighting with Zhou.

Seeing that Lin Yingsleeve was obedient, Zhou nodded with satisfaction, asked her to sit down, and said affectionately: "You are admitted to the mansion, which is different from the one you bought, even if you are an aunt in name, there is a difference between a good concubine and a cheap concubine, in the future, you wait for a few of them to do these jobs, just look at it." ”

As he spoke, the little maids came over with tea and spittoons, Lin Yingsleeve got up and took the tea and served it personally, Zhou lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly: "Please Mrs. rinse your mouth." ”

Zhou took the tea, took a sip, then washed his face, the little maid brought the basin over, Lin Yingsleeve was about to take it, Zhou stopped her, "That's it, the rules are the rules for you when you first come to the school, these jobs are not what you should do." ”

The little maid took the washing water down, and Lin Yingsleeve realized that this was Zhou's deliberate test of herself, so if Zhou's sat still when she rinsed her mouth, she was afraid that she would be sad in the future.

"Wife, but is it up?"

There was a delicate voice outside the door, the maid opened the curtain, only to hear the ring dingdong, the blue musk was lush, and a few maids walked in with a few beauties. The leader is Aunt Zhao, who is only forty-seven years old, with gorgeous eyebrows, a slender body, a slender jade hand, a willow waist, gentle and stable but not majestic, and looks like a housewife. I saw that she was wearing a short undergarment with a lilac pigment face and a short collar, a moon white embroidered plum silk skirt, a light cyan shawl, a high bun decorated with a few gold and jade jewelry, trembling and towering hollow silver silk wrapped in gold flying phoenix step swaying between the sideburns, a slight walk, then fluttering wings ready to fly, with a pair of red gold inlaid jade droplet pendants on her ears, and only wearing a jasper bracelet with excellent water head on her hand, which is very luxurious. She smiled before she could say anything, and curtched her knees and said, "Say hello to Mrs." ”

The first one behind her was about thirty-nine years old, born with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, looking like a pear blossom, with fair skin, like a jade person, she was wearing a turquoise short undergarment and a smoky butterfly skirt, wearing a few gorgeous vermilion hairpins on her head, wearing a pair of red gold willow leaf earrings on her ears, and wearing a jade bracelet and jade ring on her left hand, which was rich and gorgeous.

This is the girl of the sister of the old lady of Huaiyang, and her grandfather is also an official, because her father was convicted, the family was exiled, and Mrs. Wang begged the old lady to leave Wang Hongyi behind. After Zhou's door, he sent Pei Yuan's two maids around, and the old lady wanted to give this noble daughter-in-law a prestige, so she gave Wang Hongyi to Pei Yuan as a concubine.

Finally, the plum blossom baishui skirt wearing a mopping smoke cage next to him should be Zhou's wedding maid Zhou Lianxin, with a long face, eyebrows like willow leaves in early spring, and a face like peach blossoms in March, with a dark sense of love and moon. With a slender waist and gentle demeanor, she glanced at Lin Yingsleeve, smiled timidly and lowered her head.

After a few aunts saw the ceremony, the maids brought the silver basin and handkerchiefs, and the three aunts waited for Zhou's to freshen up, and then combed their hair and put on makeup. After a long time, everyone gathered around Zhou to sit in the upper room.

Lin Yingsleeve has been standing beside Zhou, and he didn't say much, and waited for Zhou to drink tea, and then let the aunts sit down, and said: "This is the new Aunt Lin, although a few of you in the house are not bad, but in the end they are all cheap concubines, and they can't be on the stage." ”

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Zhao laughed, raised her chin slightly, and glanced at Lin Yingsleeve contemptuously, "A big family like ours doesn't have a second room, but it's just a concubine like us!" Why should the wife step on one and carry the other? ”

Zhou's eyebrows did not move, his eyes narrowed, he put down the tea lid heavily, turned his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "You are from a girl's background, I don't blame you for not knowing this." There are also noble concubines, good concubines, and cheap concubines. A noble concubine is a wife's concubine or a concubine with a child, and a good concubine is a girl from a serious family, not a lowly person, and the status of these two is one level lower than that of the main family and one level higher than that of other concubines. She is a good concubine, not a traitor to Pei's mansion, just like me, she was married. ”
