Chapter 277: Concubine
Since the morning, it has been raining lightly, and Timulan thinks that she can't go to the street today anyway, so she covers the quilt and goes to sleep.
"Princess, my cousin has come to say goodbye. ”
Timulan muttered, covered in the covers.
"I'm not her mother-in-law, why did she come to me so actively!"
Although she was not happy, Temulan still got up, if she made the sick cousin wait for a long time, maybe she would faint again.
"You go and ask my cousin if you have eaten, and if you don't eat, you can eat together." ”
Temulan was never one to care about the rules, and soon she was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast while watching the room full of people.
"Cousin-in-law, you didn't like those servants last time, but blame me for not paying much attention. I personally selected all the servants this time, can you see if there are any of them that can catch your eye?"
Tie Mulan swallowed a small long bao in one gulp and asked Bai Qionghua.
"You really don't eat a little anymore? The food in the palace tastes really good, no worse than the one in the restaurant outside. ”
The smile on Bai Qionghua's face stiffened for a moment, and then smiled.
"Thank you cousin for your concern, I'm really full. ”
Tie Mulan nodded, seeing that steamed buns also like to eat this xiaolongbao, she brought a whole plate in front of him, pinched the handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly, and said: "I'm a very picky person, and I definitely won't use it if I don't have the ability." ”
Hearing what Tie Mulan said, the old grandmother, who had been standing quietly behind Bai Qionghua since she entered the house, walked out, blessed her body, and said: "Greetings to the princess, the old slave's surname is Meng, and she is the grandmother next to the prince's second aunt." Our prince is the most affectionate to his second aunt, and my wife is also the most distressed by our prince, so she often arranges old slaves to help the prince manage some chores in the house. Now that there is a princess in the palace, my wife can finally feel at ease. ”
Mama Meng raised her head and glanced at Temulan's expression, but saw that she was lowering her head, drinking the bird's nest porridge in the bowl intently, and didn't seem to take her words to heart.
Mama Meng didn't show any unhappiness on her face, and continued: "These minions are carefully selected, and they are guaranteed to satisfy the princess." The princess is expensive, and the little master is even more expensive, how can there be no one around to serve her?"
Only then did Temulan raise her head, glanced at the servant woman who had been standing in the room, and put down the porcelain bowl in her hand.
"I said, I don't want if I don't have the ability, you all tell me what you are capable of!"
Everyone who stood on the ground glanced at each other, and then the well-dressed mother-in-law standing at the front walked out, knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The old slave Jia Shi, who used to be a housekeeper in the grocery store, the old slave will read the account book. ”
Tie Mulan picked up the tea bowl on the table again, and said with an attitude of not being interested: "I don't have any account books to read now, it's useless to leave you, go down!"
When Bai Qionghua heard this, she hurriedly looked at Mama Meng who was standing beside her, this Mama Jia was the person her mother arranged to come in!
But Mama Meng gave Bai Qionghua a slightly calm look.
The next one to kneel down was also an old woman.
"The old slave's surname is Qiu, he is good at taking care of children, and when he was young, he worked as a wet nurse for the sons of two large families. ”
Bai Qionghua thought that this grandmother Ti Mulan would definitely accept it, but Ti Mulan still shook her head.
"The steamed buns don't drink milk anymore, I'm afraid it's useless to keep you. ”
Then, Temulan didn't forget to turn her head to ask for the opinion of the steamed bun, but the steamed bun was concentrating on struggling with a plate of steamed buns.
"Do you like this woman, and if you do, let her stay with you. ”
Mantou raised his head, only glanced at it, then turned his head away, and pouted coquettishly: "Mother, this mother-in-law is too ugly, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep when I look at it every day." ”
Listening to the steamed bun's words, Qiu Pozi's body stiffened and took the initiative to retreat.
Next, the mother-in-law and the servants were all sent away by Tie Mulan for various reasons, looking at the fewer and fewer people in the room, and in the end, Meng Pozi seemed to be unable to maintain the expression on her face.
"Minion bronze, good at ...... Good at farming. ”
"Mother, I like him. ”
When the steamed bun saw the bronze for the first time, he became interested, jumped off the stool, walked around the bronze twice, and nodded happily.
If the steamed bun likes it, Temulan naturally won't refuse, and finally nodded and accepted one.
"Since you like steamed buns, let's stay! ”
When Bai Qionghua heard this, she felt a burst of disdain in her heart.
is worthy of a village girl who came out of a mountain village, and she likes this kind of vulgar person who can only farm.
And Mama Meng, who was standing behind Bai Qionghua, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This bronze is a servant sent from the Bai family's farm, his father is a dead servant who sold himself to the Bai family, and his wife is seriously ill, so he points to the silver given by the Bai family to buy medicine to continue his life, so the bronze is a member of the Bai family, and he does not dare to disobey the orders of the hundred families.
The next few minions, Ti Mulan, didn't even look at them, so they all pushed away.
"Cousin, am I being too picky?"
Bai Qionghua hurriedly shook his head.
"It's not that my cousin is picky, it's that I'm too stupid to find a suitable servant for my cousin. ”
Temulan quickly shook her head.
"Why is it my cousin's fault? Blame me for not explaining to my cousin, in fact, I have already taken a fancy to two suitable maids, so I don't know if it is appropriate for them to come to serve me?"
Bai Qionghua turned her head and glanced at the few maids who were following her, thinking that Tie Mulan had taken a fancy to the maids beside her, thought about it, gritted her teeth, and agreed.
"There's nothing inappropriate, it's just that the princess and sister-in-law, you fall in love with the maid next to me, it doesn't matter. ”
Temulan waved her hand.
"Naturally, you will stay and serve you, I fancy Yunni and Dusk Rain, I heard that they used to serve the prince, since the prince is not here, come to serve the princess!"
When she heard that Temulan wanted Yunni and Dusk Rain, Bai Qionghua was a little surprised, and then she secretly enjoyed herself in her heart.
The two maids relied on themselves to have some backgrounds, usually in the palace, even she dared not to take it seriously, she had long wanted to get rid of it, and now the princess is willing to ask for it, it would be really good.
However, Bai Qionghua was a little embarrassed.
"The words of the princess and sister-in-law, I should have done everything, but although those two people are maids in name, they are actually cousins. Yunni is the concubine given to the prince by the Empress Dowager Zheng, and Twilight is the concubine left by her grandmother to the prince. ”
"Oh, since they are the prince's people, why haven't they come to greet this princess?"
"This?"
People don't take a fancy to you at all!" Bai Qionghua sneered in her heart. At the same time, she was annoyed that she hadn't thought of this solution earlier. As long as those two women are there, they won't let the woman surnamed Tie have a good time.
"Sister-in-law, princess, I can only help you convey the order in this matter, and as for whether the two of them are willing to come, I can't decide, after all, they are cousins and personal maids. ”
Bai Qionghua deliberately emphasized the word 'close', as if she was afraid that Timulan would not understand.
"Then thank you, cousin. ”
