Chapter 10: The Restless Girl
There are no elderly servants in the entire Tingxue Garden, and all the servants are teenage girls. Because Jiang Qi doesn't like to see hateful old women, he is only willing to approach young and delicate girls.
Thinking of this, Jin Nanxue's face showed a hint of sarcasm, feeling that this Hou Ye still had the temperament of the second master of the Jia family.
However, since it is the Hou Ye's preference, not only in Tingxue Garden, but also in the courtyard where Lian Aunt and a few people live in the same house, and even the courtyard of his sister-in-law does not have elderly servants, all of them are girls.
At this time, there was no one else in the yard except for a few rough girls who were sprinkling and sweeping to do the work in their hands, and no one came over to ask for peace when they saw the housewife come out, Jin Nanxue had just arrived, and she didn't think that she would call them all to herself now to be familiar with each other, take your time in everything, and don't worry.
She walked down the stairs and walked around the courtyard twice, then went to the study.
The main room she lives in is a suite, the middle is the main hall, as a place to rest and entertain, the east room is the bedroom, and the west room is packed into a study.
The study furnishings are relatively simple but all the furnishings are simple and atmospheric, in the middle of a large Huanghuali table, the pen holder, pen wash, incense burner and so on on the desktop are all furnished, there are several Bogu bookshelves against the wall, and the middle is separated by an ebony carved embroidery screen.
The bookshelf is neatly placed in the books of this era, including official history, biographies, customs and geography, miscellaneous notes, scriptures, etc., and there are also "Female Rings" and "Women's Rules" that women must read.
What makes Jin Nanxue happy is that the original owner also has a lot of book books, although they are all traditional characters, but there are memories of the original owner in her head, and these obstacles are not a problem, so she lies on the chaise longue by the window in the study, and leisurely flips through the books of this era has become her favorite thing to do.
Tired of standing up and lying on the wide Huanghuali table to practice words, for Jin Nanxue, a middle school Chinese teacher, three strokes is the basic skill of the teacher, her brush writing is very skillful, a hairpin Xiaokai has also won the first prize of the municipal teacher's basic skills competition, Lian used to let the original owner copy the scriptures for her, look at the manuscript left by the original owner and found that she practiced this font, then don't worry about the handwriting.
Since you have survived in place of the original owner, try to make your life as easy as possible, adapt to the current living environment as soon as possible, and take your time and don't rush the rest.
It's just that she didn't expect that she wasn't in a hurry, and she quickly found it.
"You must have stolen the dead girl, and there was no one else but you."
"Catch thieves and stolen goods, which eye did you see that I took it?"
……
There was a discordant sound in the backyard, and the noise was getting louder and louder, listening to the sound, I knew that it was Dong'er and Qiulu who were arguing outside, and there was a little girl who was about to be affected, and there was a whining cry from time to time, and Jin Nanxue, who was leaning on the chaise longue and leisurely reading the book, couldn't help frowning.
"Two cheap hooves, restless all day long, see if I don't clean them up!"
Shang Lu saw that his master was disturbed, and Qingjing couldn't help but hate and curse, and went out to teach the quarrelsome dead girls a lesson.
"You two can't go to heaven, you have to follow your wife into the mansion together, and there are no rules at all, I don't know how to serve the master, and you still shout all day long What kind of system, if you don't want to be here on an errand, it's better to go back to your uncle's mansion!"
Outside, Shang Lu's spicy voice came.
"Yo, Madame didn't say anything, what are you anxious about?" The strange voice of the yin and yang of the autumn dew came;
Dong'er: "That's it, Sister Shang Lu is busy, it's right to go in and serve the good lady, you don't have to worry about our sister's affairs here." ”
Dong'er and Qiulu were not afraid of her, and when they saw her say this, they immediately ridiculed each other, and the noise outside became even more intense.
Agarwood came in with the brewed warm tea, gently placed it on the table in front of Jin Nanxue and said, "Madam, the slave maid go out and have a look." ”
Jin Nanxue threw away the notebook in her hand and got up from the couch: "Idle is also idle, let's go out and have a look." ”
Outside, Shang Lu, Dong'er, and Qiulu were comparing their voices to see who was more imposing, and Shang Lu was also taken aback when he saw that his master had come out, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised by his recklessness just now.
Dong'er and Qiulu closed their mouths in confusion when they saw Jin Nanxue suddenly come out of the house, usually when they shouted like this, Mrs. hid in the house and didn't say a word, is this going out today?
But it doesn't look like the clothes you're wearing.
Jin Nanxue glanced coldly at a few girls standing in the courtyard, and not far away, there were a few hiding behind the pillars to probe their brains to watch the excitement, and when they saw Jin Nanxue's eyes, they quickly retracted their heads.
Jin Nanxue's eyes fell on Dong'er and Qiulu, the two girls were both dressed in delicate dresses, and the waist on their bodies outlined the already slender figure more and more. The difference is that Qiulu's tunic is yellow, while Dong'er's is dark pink.
The Houfu maids are clearly graded, the first-class maids around the master are all yellow tunics, the second-class maids are dark pink tunics, and the third-class are light gray.
The girls are not the only ones in the Hou Mansion, almost all of the big families in the capital have such rules, so if you want to know what kind of maid you are serving next to the master, you can get a glimpse of one or two from the waist alone.
At this moment, seeing Jin Nanxue watching the few of them silent for a long time, the three girls couldn't help but bow their heads in disdain.
Seeing that they were all honest, Jin Nanxue asked out loud: "Tell me, what's going on today?" ”
She deliberately accentuated the word "again".
Qiu Lu was not afraid when she saw that Mrs. asked, so she pouted and stepped forward and said: "Madam, you have to discipline Dong'er's little hooves well today, now it is becoming more and more rampant, Hou Ye gave me a bottle of rose dew a while ago, saying that it is a new product from Baofang Pavilion, I put it in the makeup box like a baby, and I used it so many times, and there is only half a bottle left at a glance this day!"
In addition to the little girl Miao'er who serves me, there is only Dong'er, a cheap girl, who can enter my house, Miao'er is timid, I forgive her and don't dare to steal my good things, who else can there be if Dong'er doesn't steal? ”
Dong'er listened to Qiulu's complaint and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Madame, don't listen to Qiao'er's nonsense, I didn't touch her rose dew at all, she got that thing, and she showed it off with many people, and said behind her back that Mrs. didn't have a rare thing that the marquis actually gave to her, who knows if it was secretly taken away by someone else, and it was on my head, as the saying goes, catch thieves and catch stolen goods, not so wronged, madam, you have to call the shots for me." ”
Qiu Lu crossed her hands on her hips: "Who do you call Qiao'er?" My name was changed by Hou Ye himself, but you are jealous of my favor by Hou Ye, and I still hang my previous name on my lips all day long, if you have the ability, you can call Hou Ye and change your new name to you, hum! I'm afraid you don't have this blessing. ”
Dong'er also showed no weakness: "Little cheap hoof, have you forgotten how you climbed into the bed of the Hou Ye and became a girl in the room?" Dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I'm sorry! I call you Qiao'er, Qiao'er, I'm angry with you! ”
