Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 4 Maid

The strong wind ruffled and crackled the bare peach branches in Mingzhuxuan's yard.

It looks a bit depressing.

There are two maids in pink clothes gathered together in the corridor.

When they heard the door open, they both raised their heads and looked towards the door.

These two maids were sent by Shen a month ago. In the past few years when Song Jinyue was away from the Duke's Mansion, no one lived in Mingzhuxuan except the mother-in-law who cleaned it every day.

Although the maid has never seen the second young lady, she can certainly recognize her from her dress.

The two people hurriedly helped each other get up and walked quickly to the door to greet her.

"Your servant Yun Xing has met the second young lady."

"Your servant Chunchan has met the second young lady."

Zhou Zheng was clever and clever, and she had these two girls in her previous life. She was grateful that Mr. Shen was thoughtful and gave her a lovely girl, but she overlooked one thing. Each of the two girls was prettier than the other.

In the past, the clothes of the maids in the mansion were loose, but they always made their clothes tighter to outline their slim and graceful figures. One time when she was taken out of the mansion, others laughed behind her back. She was a legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion.

Why are the girls around me so frivolous than the other?

Later, this word reached her ears, and she was so embarrassed that she did not leave the house for a month. When her aunt learned of this, she specially sent two maids from the palace to serve her, while Yun Xing and Chun Chan were taken away by Shen.

After that, we never saw him again.

"Not bad, Qiu Yun, enjoy."

How could she fall into the same pit again in this life? Of course she couldn't.

Qiu Yun hurriedly took out the copper coins that the young lady had ordered to prepare in advance, and the two maids each rewarded them with a hundred coins. After receiving the copper coins, the two thanked them again.

But a smile suddenly appeared on Song Jinyue's cold face. She pointed at the two bare peach trees in the courtyard with her slender hand and said: "Those two peach trees are very annoying to look at. You two can do it one by one."

Tomorrow morning, if the peach tree you are responsible for is still in this courtyard, then I will personally send you to mother to be buried."

The two maids were shocked and looked at the second lady in disbelief, "Second lady, maid..."

Song Jinyue waved her hands in front of the two of them, shook her head with a smile and said, "Is it possible that such a trivial matter cannot be handled properly? I think my mother may have made a mistake and chose you two..."

The two maids hurriedly denied it, "My maids will go right away."

Song Jinyue nodded with satisfaction, and then took Qiu Yun back to the main house.

That peach tree was planted when she was a child, and now...

Pushing open the black lacquered huanghuali wood door carved with clusters of peonies, you will see a Duobaoge huanghuali wooden frame filled with porcelain treasures. After passing the Duobaoge and following the moon-white haze, you will reach the outside room.

main hall.

The black lacquered huanghuali furniture, tables and chairs inside are all in their original appearance.

Behind the screen with budding lotus flowers on the right side is her bedroom.

The bed with flowers and phoenixes carved out of black lacquered nanmu was also hung with her favorite moonlight silk brocade curtain.

Everything is the same as before, yet everything seems completely different.

Song Jinyue felt a little disappointed for no reason.

Qiu Yun stepped forward and said, "Miss, please rest early."

I was thinking that the palace might send someone to pick me up tomorrow.

Song Jinyue's sad-looking eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she nodded in response.

After Qiu Yun helped the young lady wash up, she laid a bunk on the floor and stood guard at the door of the outer room.

Yun Xing and Chun Chan were huffing and puffing in the courtyard, cutting peach trees.

Song Jinyue fell asleep with this noisy sound all night until dawn.

When I got up early, I didn't see the two maids Yun Xing and Chun Chan. I only saw scattered dead branches in the courtyard. At the moment, there was only the bare main pole of the peach tree, which was half a man's height and stood in the courtyard.

The whole yard was in a mess, as if something terrible had happened.

"Where are Yun Xing and Chun Chan?"

Qiu Yun didn't know either. She didn't see anyone when she got up early. She also slept deeply last night, so she didn't know when the two girls disappeared.

"That's all, let's go and say hello to Mrs. Shen first."

Today, Song Jinyue changed into a lake-green Confucian jacket and a pleated lake-green skirt, embroidered with densely packed pear petals. Walking under the sun, she looked like a clear spring in clear summer.

The wives of the Duke's Mansion all came to the main courtyard to get a glimpse of the second young lady's true appearance.

These ladies were all new to the mansion after the second lady left. They had only heard that the second lady of the Duke's mansion was beautiful. Last night in the main hall, because it was dark and the lights were dim, they were watching from a distance, so naturally they didn't take a look.

clear.

According to the rules, Mrs. Shen is the stepmother, and the second young lady has to come to the main courtyard at midnight every day to pay her respects.

Only then did all Baba come over.

Seeing the man in lake-blue clothes moving slowly towards the main courtyard, everyone stopped what they were doing and waited.

Song Jinyue was naturally aware of this strange look, but she walked towards the main courtyard as if there was no one else around.

Today, Mrs. Shen specially wore a dark red Confucian skirt embroidered with rich peonies. She specially wore a golden phoenix with beaded silk on her bun. Her makeup was also particularly delicate.

This was the first time she formally met Song Jinyue since she became the mistress of the Duke's Mansion.

So I packed it up extra hard.

As soon as Song Jinyue arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard, Aunt Zhao smiled apologetically, lifted the bamboo curtain herself and waited outside the door.

"Second Miss is here, Madam is waiting inside."

With her sharp eyes, Mammy Zhao saw the golden hairpin on the Second Miss' hair. It was the one sent by the Eldest Miss. She smiled knowingly. Today, the Second Miss specially brought this hairpin. Madam will definitely reward her later.

she.

Song Jinyue glanced at Aunt Zhao, nodded, and walked in.

The black-painted Nanmu Duobao grid in Shen's house is filled with fine jade ornaments. Even the moonlight gauze is embroidered with a soaring phoenix with gold thread.

The porcelain on the black lacquered nanmu desk is all high-quality Ru kiln porcelain. These porcelain cups are sold in sets of five and one pot, and the set is worth a thousand taels.

After glancing at the decorations in Shen's house, Song Jinyue bowed and said, "Mother, eldest sister."

"Hurry up and sit next to your eldest sister. She has been waiting for you for half an hour." Mrs. Shen smiled and raised her finger to point to the empty seat next to Song Jinxi.

Song Jinyue then walked over.

"Second sister, I didn't even say a word to you last night, but today I can have a good chat."

Song Jinxi specially wore a light purple skirt today, with clusters of auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread on it. This dress was newly made, so she specially wore it today.

"I kept you waiting for a long time, big sister."

Song Jinyue looked a little apologetic, but there was already a chill in her heart.

In this life, she will never let her go!

The sharp blade that pierced her chest in the previous life was the handiwork of her "good sister" Song Jinxi.

"Yue'er, mother has something to discuss with you."

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Shen started talking. She glanced at Aunt Zhao from the corner of her eye. Aunt Zhao understood and turned around to go outside the house.

"The two maids Yun Xing and Chun Chan were originally bought from outside, but they did not sign the deed of sale and only paid monthly. Now these two girls are about to resign..."

After Shen finished speaking, Aunt Zhao brought two girls, Yun Xing and Chun Chan, in.

They were still wearing the same pink clothes they wore last night, but they were covered in mud and dirt, making them look particularly miserable. Looking closer, they saw that the eyes of the two girls were red, and their palm-sized faces were covered in red stains scratched by peach branches.

mark.

These two girls actually signed a deed of prostitution. She had just returned home in her previous life, and Mrs. Shen ordered someone to bring the deeds of prostitution of these two girls, saying that the life and death of the two maids in the future would be in her hands.

Now his tone has changed.
