Chapter VI
It turned out that the second sister made a special trip to find her, and she specially mentioned this experience. Jia Xuan responded gratefully. Yingchun thought about it and took out a handful of nest candy from her purse. Seeing that she didn't even have a proper purse, she simply stuffed all the sugar back into her purse and gave her the purse: "This is my mother's reward for me, and it is not too much for me to give it to you." If your mother asks, just tell the truth. ”
Jia Xuan bowed his head and immediately stuffed a piece of sugar into his mouth, sweet and silky.
Yingchun couldn't stop looking sideways at her all the way and laughing.
Just now, it was inconvenient for Jia Xuan to ask about the situation of the courtyard in front of the maids, for fear that those people would not notice that they would be reminded by her and went one after another, which would cause trouble.
Now seeing that Jia Yingchun is beside her, and this sister is a cowardly and never careless character, she asked in a low voice: "Second sister, when I was wandering, I saw that no one had passed over in the corner of the yard, why was this?" Yao Yao pointed in that direction, but he didn't say which courtyard it was.
Yingchun looked in the direction and said in a low voice: "I heard that someone over there had fallen into the well, so I also sealed the well in the courtyard for this reason." Because of the death, no one will endure it. I couldn't help but advise: "You don't have to go over, the place where the yin qi is heavy is not good for our girl's body." ”
Jia Xuan nodded obediently, and secretly said that if anyone knew that there was a corpse parked there, then its reputation would be too bad to get rid of for a long time.
The two of them muttered like this, and after a while, they came to Mrs. Xing's room.
There are three rooms and three wide rooms, which are not as big as those of Rongguo Mansion, but they are small and chic. The kang was covered with four seasons Ruyi group pattern felt, and Mrs. Xing was sitting holding the account book and looking at it, her brows tightened as if she was worried.
She was illiterate. But she had written them down by herself, using only symbols that could be recognized by the circles and crosses. Others only drew the character as a ghost, and they couldn't recognize what was written at all.
Seeing the two children entering the house, Mrs. Xing didn't raise her eyes and asked coldly, "Why is it so slow?" ”
Jia Xuan obviously felt that Yingchun shrank and moved back half a step.
Thinking of her shabby living environment, she didn't expect Mrs. Xing to be loved by Mrs. Xing from the beginning - what woman likes a child her husband has with another woman? However, the situation is pressing, and there are no biological children, so I can only make up the numbers with her.
After thinking about it, when she looked at Mrs. Xing again, she was already normal, so she was neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to my mother's words, I feel that my body is too weak, and I need to walk everywhere to strengthen my body, so I delayed a little effort." ”
Her well-behaved and sensible appearance made Mrs. Xing breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xing also knows that she has to love this child as her own flesh and blood, so that with the affection of mother and daughter, when she is old in the future, the child will naturally support her when she is close to her, so that she will not be too lonely in her old age.
But when she thought of the child's biological mother, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, knowing that the place where the child slept was no one to take care of, and she turned a blind eye and didn't know anything.
Now that she can cross the road in front of the old lady, and the child will remember her name in the future, it is really a real mother and daughter. Although the child is not smart, it is good to be able to be with her.
Mrs. Xing had already made up her mind, bypassed the topic just now, and put the account book on the small table next to the kang and got up with a smile: "But I can look forward to you." How? How are you doing with your ancestors today? Although he was greeting the two children, his eyes were staring at Jia Xuan all the time.
Jia Xuan blessed his body: "The ancestors are very kind, and my sisters and sisters are also easy to get along with." ”
Seeing that this child was stupid but still knew how to count etiquette, Mrs. Xing was very pleased. I think this kid hasn't grown up in front of him since he was a child, and if he is a clever person, he may not be able to control it. It's a bit silly like that.
"I see that there is no one around you to serve, and I plan to divide two maids and a mother for you." Mrs. Xing took Jia Xuan's hand and sat on the kang with her, and only after the child sat down did she call: "Spring branches, summer leaves, come to see the girl." ”
Yingchun didn't dare to sit down without permission, and when he saw the maids coming in, he hesitated to go out.
Jia Xuan knew that if Yingchun avoided going out at this time, it would seem that the second girl had no status and was easily looked down upon by the maids, so he shouted: "Second sister accompany me." As he spoke, he moved to the side to make room.
Where did Yingchun dare to sit with Mrs. Xing? Busy shaking his head. Seeing Mrs. Xing's displeasure, she thought about it and sat next to her with a brocade: "I'm just here." ”
Jia Xuan saw that she was timid, and she was not reluctant, but only smiled at her kindly. He asked Mrs. Xing again: "I don't want to take care of my mother." I just want Mrs. Guo. Can I let Mrs. Guo follow me? ”
That's just a rough man, if it weren't for following the fifth girl to see Mother Jia today, Mrs. Xing wouldn't have remembered her. Hearing that her daughter wanted a rough servant to be her housekeeper's mother, Mrs. Xing immediately refused: "This can't be done." ”
Jia Xuan drooped his head, let out a listless "oh", and didn't speak again.
Mrs. Xing looked at what she would talk about later, and the child wilted without saying a word, and finally nodded in her heart: "Then let Mrs. Guo take a look with you for a while." "I was afraid that my daughter wouldn't believe it, so I immediately asked her to call her.
Mrs. Guo was finally finishing her work and was eating a big meal, when she heard that her wife called her, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran over, and when she entered the house, there was still a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
Jia Xuan laughed out loud when she saw it, and called the maid to hand her a cloth towel.
Seeing that her daughter was happy, Mrs. Xing was a little relieved and said, "The girl values you, so I will arrange for you to be a housekeeper by her side." Seeing Mrs. Guo's vulgar appearance, she couldn't help frowning and twisting her head, then glanced at her daughter's smiling face, and said fiercely: "In the future, you will be the mother in charge of the girl's side for the time being." Then he said to the maids and servants in the house: "This is Mother Guo in front of the five girls, do you recognize them?" ”
The crowd said, "Yes." "In the end, I was a little unhappy.
Guo's mother knelt on the ground in fear: "How can the old slave be so deemed that he can't afford such a big responsibility!" ”
Before being at Jia's mother's place, she also felt that Guo Pozi's actions and words were all inappropriate. Now that he has been assigned to his daughter's house to be a steward, he doesn't look good at all.
She tried to remember her daughter's smile and said, "The girl values you, so you do it." ”
Mrs. Xing only wants to have a more relaxed relationship with her daughter now, after all, the child is a little stupid and can only think simply, can't tell the twists and turns, and let her know how good she is to her: "In the future, if the girl is short or missing, you have to pay attention." If anything is not right, I will betray you at any time. "This is also to leave a way back for yourself, so that you can find an opportunity to replace people.
Guo's mother got up with great gratitude, and her own little maid took her down to freshen up and change her clothes.
Seeing her out of the house, Mrs. Xing was not at ease after all, and told Chunzhi and Xia Ye: "You two watch more in the girl's house, don't go wrong." ”
These two maids were originally third-class, and they were finally assigned to the girl to serve as second-class, and seeing that the errand was done, the promotion to the first class was just around the corner. Who knows how not to be annoyed when a rough man is in charge of them?
Seeing that Mrs. Xing had other instructions, the two of them were overjoyed and immediately promised: "Madame, just rest assured, we will keep it well." "Left and right, he served the girl and went out of the house.
Jia Xuan didn't like these two maids very much, so she dealt with them casually. I turned right and walked a few steps out of the door, and suddenly there was a very faint and slightly familiar smell into my nose. It's like the one in the sachet.
Jia Xuan stopped and went to find the source.
