Chapter 1: Anping Bo Mansion

Next Chapter

When Geng Xingshuang woke up, it was already a moment later, and she looked at the top of the turmeric plain tent above in a daze, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality.

However, Geng Xingshuang, who has experienced this situation many times, told her very clearly that it is reality now, and all kinds of dreams should be regarded as bizarre scenes in her cognition at the moment, but it is really just a dream.

"Girl, you're awake!"

A woman in a pea-green ochre-colored skirt hurriedly walked over, one of the only two maids beside Geng Xingshuang, and her face was anxious, as if she had run back from outside.

"Didn't wake me up again? What's going on? ”

Geng Xingshuang has already made an experience in her dreams, as long as she has that strange dream one night, and she has never seen it in her life, and she doesn't have such a big imagination to imagine the scene out of thin air, the second day is bound to get up late, and she can't be woken up by various sounds and movements from the outside world, so she can only wake up by herself.

She has experience, and the two maids around her have also experience, she was not so flustered before, but now that the curtain is like this, something must have happened.

Sure enough, I heard the curtain say urgently: "Mrs. Bo is going to sell half of the roll!" ”

"What?"

Geng Xingshuang bounced up from the bed, jumped out of bed, didn't need to paint the curtain to serve, she quickly put on her clothes, she wore them casually, and the matching was also very pleasing to the eye.

"It's true, Yu Ya Po from Liu'er Hutong came early in the morning today, and Sister Luwu beside Mrs. Bo personally led people into the main courtyard, if it wasn't a quarter of an hour ago, Mother Qiao suddenly came over to take away half a roll, and the slave and maid were in a hurry to follow, and the grapes secretly told the slave and maid, and the slave and maid couldn't believe it, girl, what should I do now?"

During the curtain report, Geng Xingshuang had already put on his clothes, finished washing, and sat down in front of the dresser.

In this short period of time, Geng Xingshuang has already thought of a solution.

"Does Mrs. Bo only sell half a roll, or do she also want to sell Pingshan, Shenshui, Pearl, Pandan, and Angelica Bai?"

Pingshan and Shenshui are the maids of the three girls in the house, Geng Xingbing, Pearl is the maids of the fourth girl, Geng Xingyu, and Xianglan and Bai Zhi are the maids of the six girls, Geng Xingchen.

Because Geng Xingyu is a concubine, in the fifth generation and now only the last generation of Anping Bofu, the expenses have been repeatedly reduced, since two years ago, Mrs. Xia has stipulated that there are only two waiters left around the concubine in the house, including the mother-in-law and the maid, and only one waiter is left next to the concubine.

As for the young masters, there are four left around them, including mother-in-law, maids, etc., and two are left by the concubines.

On that occasion two years ago, more than half of the people in Bofu were reduced, and they not only got silver, but also reduced their expenses, which was very supportive for a while.

Geng Xingshuang is now asking this question about the curtain, just to find out that Mrs. Bo is purely for half a volume...... Or she, or this house can't support it anymore again.

"Listening to the grapes, Shen Shui and Pandan were also called to the main courtyard."

Compared with the curtain, the appearance of the half-roll is more eye-catching, while the sinking water is more beautiful than Pingshan, and the pandan is more beautiful than Angelica dahurica.

"What are you going to do, Madame Bo?"

Thinking of that possibility, Geng Xingshuang frowned, money can really lower a person's bottom line again and again, no wonder he was so anxious and so hidden this time, and he didn't even say hello to the owners of these three maids.

The painting curtain didn't expect this first, but when she heard Geng Xingshuang mention this, her face turned pale and murmured, "No wonder it's Yu Ya Po from Liu'er Hutong who came this time, not Wang Yaren from Changning Street." ”

Yu Ya Po and Wang Ya people can be regarded as the famous Ya Po of the generation in the north of the city, but the reputation of Wang Ya people is not bad, Yu Ya Po is not very good, the people she handles, whether male or female, if they grow up well and are young, many of them have been sent to that unspeakable place, it is really cannibalistic and does not spit out bones, making people worse than death.

Geng Xingshuang, the down-and-out lady of the Bofu Mansion and the maid beside her, shouldn't have known about this, but who made Geng Xingshuang start dreaming more than a year ago, and the dream taught her a lot, no, or should it be said that she picked up the skills she had forgotten, she felt that the latter statement was more in line with everything she had experienced in the past year and even now and even in the future.

"Let's go, let's go to my mother's."

Geng Xingshuang stood up, their room is the long house of Anping Bo's Mansion, her father Geng Wen is the eldest son of the uncle and the son-in-law, but it was not born to Mrs. Uncle, but from the uncle's original wife, Mrs. Zhou, but her own grandmother died less than half a year after her father was born.

She now lives with her parents in Qingcui Courtyard, originally she lived in a courtyard by herself, but two years ago, in order to reduce expenses, all the girls in the house who lived alone moved to live in the same yard with their parents, so that both the manpower and money to take care of the yard were much less.

Therefore, it is not that there are no courtyards in Anpingbo's Mansion, but there are many courtyards that are vacant, and now it is a scene of barren grass and vines climbing the wall.

"Fifth sister!"

As soon as Geng Xingshuang walked out of the door, he saw Geng Xingchen hurriedly trotting in from outside the courtyard, followed by Bai Zhi.

"Fifth sister, it's not good, grandmother is going to sell pandan, and there is half a roll and sinking water, I went to beg grandmother, grandmother didn't see me, fifth sister, what do you say this should be?"

Geng Xingchen is one year younger than Geng Xingshuang, in fact, it is only a few months younger, now it is the fourteenth year of Shengning in the Daning Dynasty, Geng Xingshuang was born in the second year of Shengning, fourteen years old, it is the cardamom years, Geng Xingchen was born in March of the following year, the two sisters are of similar age, have the same temperament, and the relationship has been very good.

Now that such a thing has happened, Geng Xingchen's first thought is Geng Xingshuang.

"I already know about this, sixth sister, grandmother doesn't see you, have you gone to ask the third aunt?"

Geng Xingshuang asked Geng Xingchen as he walked towards his mother Ruan's main house.

"I begged, but my mother said that my grandmother said that after selling pandan, if I think Bai Zhi is not enough to wait alone, I can buy another one, I don't understand, what is the difference between selling one and buying one back? Could it be that Xianglan made any mistakes, but the fifth sister, half of the scrolls in your house, and the submerged water in the third sister's house will also be taken away, could it be that the three of them made any mistakes together? ”

Geng Xingchen followed closely beside Geng Xingshuang, muttering in his heart, so he also said this muttering, and before Geng Xingshuang could respond, the two had already arrived at Ruan's house.

Ruan Shi naturally woke up a long time ago, and even used breakfast.

For Geng Xingshuang, every once in a while, she slept very deeply one day, and she couldn't wake up even if she couldn't wake up, Ruan Shi was also panicked from the beginning, and even asked a doctor for this, and was turned around by Mrs. Bo and said that she didn't know how expensive oil and rice was, and then she was calm, just waiting for her to wake up naturally.

"Mother!"

"Uncle Niangan!"

Geng Xingshuang Geng Xingchen entered the door and saluted, Ruan put down the embroidery work in his hand, Geng Xingshuang glanced at the clothes on the desk, and then looked at her mother's face.

"Mother, did you stay up late last night?"

"No, I fell asleep at the beginning of the year." Nguyen's reflexive answer.

Geng Xingshuang saw that her mother was lying now, and her face didn't change, she simply laughed angrily, and before she could say more, Ruan Shi had already looked at Geng Xingchen.

"The stars are here too?"

Geng Xingchen nodded, "Xianglan and Banjuan are about to be sold by their grandmother, so I came to the fifth sister to think of a way." ”

Ruan's didn't know about it, although she was in the yard, but Qiao's mother only said that she was looking for half a roll to help the main courtyard do things, this kind of thing had happened before, after all, there were not enough people in any yard now, and Ruan's was busy with the embroidery work in his hands, so he didn't ask more.
