115. Generous employment and in-laws
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the people from the Xue Mansion have come three times, the so-called things are only three, and there is really no reason to refuse again, and although the Fengyang faction still has prestige in the rivers and lakes, it also has to give face to the government.
"The second miss really thinks about it, then this matter is decided, although the head is not there, I will do this properly and let the second miss marry in a beautiful manner." The housekeeper looked at me with tears in his eyes and said with great emotion.
"This marriage was made by my father, and although I don't know why, I believe that you and my father must have done it for my good. Now the Fengyang faction only has you and me, if I marry the Xue family, it can be regarded as finding a reliable support for the Fengyang faction, the Fengyang faction is my father's hard work, and it must not be destroyed in my hands! I stepped forward and grabbed his wrist and said something I had been thinking about for a long time.
At this moment, he burst into tears, nodded uncontrollably, and said in a relieved tone: "The second miss has grown up, I can finally rest assured!"
"But there's one more thing I need your help with."
"What?"
I smiled and said, "You sit on the throne as my elder and watch me get married."
He immediately shook his head and said, "No, you are the master and I are the servant, how can you break the rules!"
"You have watched me and Qingyue grow up since childhood, except for your father, you are the closest to us, and you said that you treat me like your own child."
I looked at him expectantly, he only turned his face away, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm just afraid that others will point fingers at the second miss."
"If that's really the case, then I'd rather not marry him to the Xue family!" If the Xue family is so unreasonable, I don't bother to be with it.
The wedding date was set for the beginning of next month, and I had little time left in the Fengyang faction, but fortunately I learned embroidery when I was alone before, so I thought of being a deputy knee pad for the housekeeper.
I was not satisfied with it for several days, and my hand was a little swollen from being pricked by needles, but I didn't expect that embroidery was not the most difficult, and I was stumped from the bottom.
I was sleepy, yawning and about to lie down, but when I looked up, I found the butler standing in the doorway, mysteriously walking up to me.
"Why are you here?" I was about to stand up, but like a child, he took out a string of rock sugar gourds and candy figures from behind his back.
I exclaimed and took it, just like when I was a child, we would rush up to the door when I watched him come far away, and we would always get something delicious, and every time I saw him, I was happier than when I saw my father.
"Rock sugar gourd, it's still the taste of when I was a child, at that time, I felt happy and couldn't sleep when I thought about rock sugar gourd, so Qingyue coaxed me to say that I had everything when I fell asleep."
He was about to turn around and leave with a smile in his eyes, but I stopped him and asked, "I saw you coughing badly last time, have you seen it?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "It's okay, the second lady doesn't have to worry!"
After he left, I began to try again, and I was not satisfied with it for half a month, and sometimes I would light the lamp and hold the knee pads after dinner.
Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, I was about to get up after dinner, but the housekeeper was concerned: "Second Miss hasn't had a good rest recently?"
I nervously said, "No."
"I see that the second lady is still lit in the middle of the night, and now that the wedding date is approaching, there are many things to do, but don't be busy, just leave it to me to do anything!"
I didn't look back, except for the words, "I see."
When I got to the house, I picked up the knee pads that I had made with great difficulty, and I felt extremely happy, thinking that I would give them to the housekeeper in two days, and he would not have to feel lost because I was married.
The knee pads were ready, and the things that were hanging in my heart were also put down, and the next day I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up by the noise outside.
I frowned and got dressed, and saw people shuttling in the courtyard, carrying red silk boxes in their hands, and boxes stacked in the corners.
"What's going on?" I asked, stretching my back.
The attendant said: "This is a dowry gift from Xue Mansion this morning, and there are more than ten boxes of them, they are almost piled up here, and there are still at the door!"
I didn't know that Xue Mansion was so generous, did this mean that I should marry or buy me, and when I walked to the door, I felt that those boxes were like a good wall, lined up in a long pile, which was really embarrassing.
"Did they all send it from the Xue family?" I asked, pointing to the boxes.
"Yes, someone sent it a long time ago, and it's all been counted all morning, and it's not up yet."
"It's okay, continue to count the books, and if you don't have enough people, you can call some more people, and let the housekeeper treat you well later."
The attendant smiled: "Second Miss Xie is provocative, we're not afraid of being tired!"
