189. Inquirement
Rong Qiaoyan asked the eldest lady to say goodbye as usual, and followed the eldest lady to the courtyard of the eldest lady to ask for peace.
Back in her yard, she sent Mama Yang to rent a house for the two siblings, and she herself went to the girls' school as usual.
The twilight was getting thicker, and only in the western sky, there was still a bright crimson remaining.
Rong Qiaoyan put on a thin cloak and stood at the door of the main house, watching Shirui and Mo'er giggling the lanterns under the corridor, watching Baimei and Miaozhi in the courtyard talking while covering their mouths and laughing, watching Mama Yang hurriedly walk in from outside the courtyard gate, watching Mrs. Shi on duty sweeping the ground and saying hello to Mama Yang flatteringly.
Miaozhi and Mama Yang naturally have to arrange it according to their wishes.
As for Bai Mei, she is not a bad one, but she is not a loyal one either.
She is like the sixth sister-in-law in her previous life, she is just a worker, just doing a job.
Don't expect a job done well to get a promotion or a raise; However, I am not afraid of being beaten and scolded if I don't do my job well.
Because Baimei is a child of a family, and she is still a child of an old slave family who has accumulated generations.
Although not all the people in Baimei's family are close to the master of the house, because her family has relatives in various courtyards, they will not be easily bullied.
If she leaves, she is a second-class maid and has the care of her own mother, so she should not be implicated.
Shirui is a third-class maid, but it is a troublesome matter.
If you don't care about her, in the end, you can help yourself find out a lot of news, and people can be regarded as loyal.
But if you leave her alone, I can't think of how to deal with it for a while.
That's it, I can only let it go for now.
Rong Qiaoyan's gaze moved to Mo'er who was playing with flowers in the yard after lighting the lantern.
Mo'er is a rough little girl who hasn't left her head yet, and she is very playful on weekdays, but she doesn't have too many bad intentions.
However, she is a rough man, and her own stay should have no effect on her.
In the same way, the same is true for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shi. The two rough envoys who rotated on duty, and no one cared about them.
The people on Aunt Frost's side are even simpler. The people around her were all arranged by the eldest lady, and she was never Aunt Shuang's intimate person.
In this way, it is the arrangement of Mama Yang, Miaozhi and Shirui.
Thinking of this, Rong Qiaoyan said to Mama Yang, who walked to the door and was about to salute: "Nurse, Miaozhi was on duty last night, and I was a little tired. Stay with me tonight. ”
Miaozhi was about to say that she was not tired, but she was stopped by a look from Rong Qiaoyan.
"Good. Tonight, the old slave is on duty for the young lady. The young lady has not let the old slave be on duty for a long time. Mama Yang said with a smile.
Since the young lady was divided, she was no longer allowed to accompany her at night.
It was only said that she was old, and she couldn't sleep well at night and was tired again.
Her body is indeed not angry. When the young lady was injured and unconscious, she was only guarded for three days, and she couldn't straighten her waist.
Tonight, she just happened to tell the young lady about the matter, but she didn't have to spend it all.
Rong Qiaoyan smiled.
After finishing washing, Mama Yang tied the door and went to the closet to get the futon. …
"Nurse, sit down, let's talk. Where do I really ask you to be on duty? When we're done, you go back to your room and go to sleep. Rong Qiaoyan smiled and stopped Mama Yang.
Mama Yang is older than her aunt's, where can she really be on duty at night?
No matter how big the couch is, it is not as comfortable as the bed.
Mama Yang was about to refuse, but was stopped by Rong Qiaoyan holding her hand.
"Nurse, it's important to get down to business. Tell me about the two siblings today. Rong Qiaoyan hurriedly changed the topic.
Mama Yang was really diverted.
"Miss, the old slave rented a small yard for the two brothers and sisters in an alley across our house. The old slave thought that if the young lady summoned them, it would be convenient to spread the word. ”
Mama Yang talked about the location and situation of the house in detail.
Talking about the rent of the house; said that he had already grabbed a sufficient amount of medicinal materials for them in the medical hall, and he had boiled medicine for them today; said that Shi Jingtao was young and strong, and now he can get up; said that according to Rong Qiaoyan's request, he had left them some silver taels for daily life, and other trivial matters.
Rong Qiaoyan listened carefully, and after making sure that the two brothers and sisters had settled down, she nodded.
"That's very good. In the past few days, when Brother Shi is not busy, help me keep an eye on those two people and see how they behave. ”
Rong Qiaoyan said softly to Mama Yang.
Mama Yang knew that Rong Qiaoyan had a big idea this year.
Therefore, she is now in the right position and is concentrating on listening to Rong Qiaoyan's orders. Therefore, Mama Yang nodded yes.
After talking about Shi Jingtao's brothers and sisters, Rong Qiaoyan finally brought up an important topic.
"Nurse and brother, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live the most?"
When Mama Yang heard this, she was stunned, as if she didn't understand what Rong Qiaoyan meant.
Rong Qiaoyan repeated slowly, word by word.
"This old slave and the stone are both Miss's subordinates, so naturally they listen to Miss's arrangement." Mama Yang replied a little confused.
She is an official slave, although her son Zhou Lei is not an official slave, but the descendants of the official slave are not allowed to get out of the deed within three generations, so they are naturally also slaves.
To whom to be a slave, not a slave?
What's more, Miss Six, the master, is very good to them.
"But, nurse, I'm a concubine now, and I can't have a companion."
Rong Qiaoyan repeated the reason she said to Miaozhi yesterday.
Mama Yang was stunned.
They have always been ingrained in the belief that Miss Six is their master, but they have forgotten that a concubine cannot have a companion room, and it is difficult for a concubine to decide who to do - especially to be a concubine under the eldest lady.
"So, nurse, I'm going to make arrangements for you before I get married. What kind of life do you most want to live? I'll set you free, and you can control your own life freely, okay? Rong Qiaoyan asked softly.
Mama Yang used to be an official lady, so what she wants most is freedom, right?
"However, the old slave is an official slave and cannot get out of the contract for the rest of his life, how can he be free?"
Mama Yang instinctively retorted, while being a little dazed.
"Miss, don't you want us? We can't follow Miss, we can follow Auntie. Mademoiselle can't take us there, so leave us to my aunt. Let's run errands for my aunt. Our mother and mother have no relatives and no reason outside, what should we do when we go out? We're just young ladies. Even if you can't follow Miss, you want to be closer to Miss. ”
Mama Yang was hit by this sudden topic, and she became a little incoherent.
It turns out that she can only accompany Miss for two years?
After two years, the young lady will be carried to the Dingguo Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the change of young lady's fate also changed their fate.
Mama Yang became sad and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Rong Qiaoyan listened to Mama Yang's words, saw Mama Yang's sad appearance, and sighed softly.
