Poor Family

After getting acquainted with the Shi family, Mrs. Shi thought about the hard work of the second son's family, so she asked Mrs. Shi to take them back to the yard to wash and refresh, and we will get together again at dinner.

After Mrs. Shi led Shi Zheng and his family to leave, the others also retreated from Yixiang Hall.

After everyone left, Shi Nian and Madam Xu, who had been waiting outside the door, entered the hall, first handed the Jiang family's family letter to Mrs Shi, and then detailed what they did and saw and heard after they went to Rongcheng I told Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi everything.

During the period, Manager Shi focused on what happened to the family at the Hongshan Inn.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi's expressions became serious.

The old man Shi's voice was a little anxious: "You mean, the person who killed the ghost and half immortal is likely to be Goro?"

Ghost Banxian is a ninth-rank master!

Manager Shi was not very sure: "This old slave guessed like this. The ghost banxian released poisonous smoke in the inn. It was the fifth master who took the antidote and saved everyone."

"After the old slave woke up, he followed Fifth Master and the others to the backyard, and then saw the half-immortal ghost who had died."

"Old master, you know the yin and yang face of ghosts and half-immortals. When you see this old slave suddenly, you are terrified. Forget about Fifth and Ninth Masters. They are boys, but Third Miss and Sixth Miss are not afraid at all. "

Mrs. Shi glanced at Old Master Shi, thought for a while and said: "The four Wulang grew up in the border gate, and the border gate is full of wars all the year round, so it's okay to be bolder than others."

"However. The poison of ghosts and immortals has always been difficult to cure. It is really surprising that they can come up with antidote pills."

"As for the death of the ghost and half immortal, maybe there are other high-level people in the inn."

Manager Shi nodded: "There are indeed other people in the inn, but it seems that they were poisoned by ghosts and half-immortals, and the old slave can't get close to the bedroom in the backyard. I didn't find out what happened."

The old man Shi also regained his composure at this moment, looking at Boss Shi: "It's good that you can find these."

When Manager Shi finished talking with Nanny Xu and left the living room, the old man sighed: "I was impatient just now, thinking that Zhenghe's family was going to give me a huge surprise."

"It's my fault. How can a ninth-grade master and a poisonous ghost half-immortal be able to be killed by a few half-grown children?"

Mrs. Shi knows what her old man's mind is. The Shi family started out with martial arts. Back then, they also fought with Taizu in the northern and southern wars, and they were proud of their martial arts.

Taizu bestowed the title of Uncle Wuchang, one can imagine how powerful the kung fu of the ancestor of the Shi family was.

It's a pity that after several generations, the Shi family has never had such a character.

"Zhenghe's eyebrows and eyes are clear and straight. Although the Jin family is weaker, they are not too off the hook. The four children are also good. Isn't this a surprise?"

The old lady Shi laughed: "Yes, the Zhenghe family has exceeded my expectations, I am greedy."

The overall layout of the Shifu is a rectangle, starting from the gate, running through the north and south, dividing the entire mansion into east and west sides, and using the vertical flower gate as the dividing line, it is divided into the front yard and the back yard.

Mrs. Shi led Shi Zhenghe (Li Changsen), Jin Yuee, Shi Fuyin (Li Erya), and Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) to the west of the backyard. Shi Dingxuan (Li Sanlang) and Shi Dinghao (Li Qilang ) was taken to the front yard by the uncle of the Shi family.

"The brothers in the family lived in the front yard before they got married, and they moved to the back yard when they got married."

"The yard you live in was chosen by your mother. Goro and Jiulang live in the Songfeng Pavilion on the west side of the front yard. It is a two-entry yard, with guests in the front and people in the back."

"There are other empty yards at home, but my mother thought that you might not be used to it when you just came back, so she arranged for Wulang and Jiulang to live together, and Fuyin and Fuxin to live with you."

"Yigui Courtyard is here."

"Gui Zhe, Gui Ye, Gui Ye, the name of the yard was mentioned by the father himself."

"Yigui Courtyard has three courtyards. If you think it is too small, tell me. I will change the courtyard for you after I report to my mother."

Jin Yue'e quickly said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this yard is not small at all, it's big enough."

The smile on Mrs. Shi's face deepened a bit, and she could tell that the new fourth brother's family was quite sensible, and it wasn't a big deal.

"The decorations in the yard, the maids and women who serve are all chosen by my mother. You should use them first. If there is anything inappropriate, you can come and tell me."

"After driving for so long, you must be very tired. Go to the courtyard to rest, and I won't bother you."

Shi Zhenghe (Li Changsen), Jin Yue'e and their two daughters watched Mrs. Shi leave before turning around and entering the yard.

Without outsiders around, Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) began to let herself go, dragging Shi Fuyin (Li Erya) around the yard to watch.

"No wonder it is named Yiguiyuan, the yard is full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees."

Entering the courtyard three times, the first entrance is arranged as a living room and study room for guests, and the second and third entrances are for people to live in.

Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e lived in the second hall, and Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin lived in the third hall.

"Father, mother, rest, we are going to see our room."

After greeting Shi Zhenghe (Li Changsen) and Jin Yue'e, Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) took Shi Fuyin (Li Erya) to the third yard.

"Sister, you live in the upper room, I live in the east wing, and the west wing treats guests."

Shi Fuyin (Li Erya): "Huh? Treating guests?"

Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) nodded: "Of course, we also want to entertain guests. It's okay to invite the little sisters to come over for tea and listen to music."

Shi Fuyin smiled "Puff": "You adapt quickly."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "You don't need to adapt to enjoy life at all, you can be as happy as you want."

When the two sisters visited the room, the four maids stood side by side at the door, as if waiting for orders.

Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) looked at the four of them. They were all between thirteen and fourteen years old, and they all wore bean green waist-length skirts and a double-ringed bun.

"Sister, they should be arranged by my aunt to serve us. You choose two, and I will keep the other two."

Hearing this, the faces of the four servant girls moved, and two of them showed obvious resistance.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she refused to let Shi Fuyin choose, and walked up directly, pointing out those two people: "From now on, you two will follow me."

The displeasure on the faces of the two maids who were ordered could hardly be concealed.

Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) didn't chatter with them, and walked towards the East Chamber: "Come on, I want to take a bath."

The two maids who were ordered looked at each other with wry smiles, and reluctantly followed to the East Chamber; the remaining two maids were obviously relieved.

In fact, they were unwilling to be chosen to serve in Yigui Courtyard.

The fate of maidservants like them basically depended on their master. Whether the master was good or bad directly determined their future and destiny.

The fourth master's family came back from the border gate. I heard that the people in the border gate are very vulgar and have little knowledge. How can they have a good future if they serve such a master?

When the mansion selected maids to come here, no one in the mansion was willing to come here. It was because they were unlucky that they were chosen here.

When they come, they can only accept their fate, who made them the children of the mansion.

But which girl to follow is still a little different.

Just now they had carefully observed the behavior of the two girls. The third girl was obviously much quieter and more stable, while the sixth girl was a little restless. It was clear at a glance which of the two girls was easy to serve and which was not.

Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) didn't care about the small thoughts of the maids, she was looking at her residence at the moment.

The East Wing is decorated in a boudoir atmosphere, full of girly style, mosquito nets, bedding, cushions, and bead curtains are almost all pink and lotus color.

Others may not like this, it's too tender.

But Fuxin (Li Wuya) likes Fuxin (Li Wuya) very much when she is tired of female men and desperately wants to be a little girl again.

Of the two maids who followed, one saw that Fuxin was opening the closet door, and hurried forward to help open it, explaining as she opened it: "The dresses in the closet were made by the sewing room on behalf of the lady, and I was worried that the size might not be suitable. Only made four sets."

"Girls can try it after taking a bath. If it doesn't fit, or if you don't like the style and color, you can ask the people in the sewing room to change and redo it."

The four sets of clothes are goose yellow, pink, water blue, and light green shirts and skirts.

Yazhi is quite elegant, but it doesn't match her skin tone.

Shi Fuxin (Li Wuya) shrank her paws as she looked at her hand, which was darker than a maidservant's.

You have to hurry up to whiten your complexion, and take a skin-beautifying medicated bath later.

In the end, Shi Fuxin chose the water-blue skirt, and planned to change into it after taking a shower.

The servant girl took off her clothes, and seeing the other servant girl standing still, she couldn't help but said: "Miss wants to take a bath, let grandma bring hot water."

The maid came to her senses and turned around to leave.

Shi Fuxin saw it, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The servant girl replied: "Are you waiting for the girl to give you a name?"

Shi Fuxin showed surprise: "You don't have names?"

The servant girl shook her head: "Yes, it's just according to the rules of the mansion, if we are assigned to serve the girl, the girl has to rename it."

Shi Fuxin: "There is still such a rule." As she spoke, she thought about it distressedly, and when she saw another maid entering the room again, her eyes lit up.

"I thought of it, in the future you will be called Jingui, and she will be called Yuanbao."

Uh.

The two maids were stunned, especially the one who went to call the mother-in-law, her complexion was not very good.

Seeing that the two didn't respond, Shi Fuxin looked at them: "Why, you don't like it?"

Jingui immediately responded with a blessing: "Jingui, thank you for giving me your name."

Seeing Jingui's acceptance, the other servant girl bowed her knees reluctantly: "Yuanbao. Thank you for giving me the name." Yuanbao, this name is too vulgar!

Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile: "Jingui and Yuanbao are both nice to hear and easy to remember. By the way, how long have you been working in the mansion?"

Jingui replied: "Miss Hui, we are all the children of the mansion."

Shi Fuxin asked again: "Did Da Furen ask you to come here to serve?"

Jingui nodded: "Yes, the eldest lady chose us, and after the old lady agreed, we were arranged to come to Yiguiyuan."

Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes, the eldest lady chose, the old lady agreed, she didn't play it perfunctory, it stands to reason that the maids selected should know the rules, but in fact, these maids are obviously not willing to serve them.

It can only be said that the water in the wealthy compound is really deep!

At this time, a woman in her thirties came in with a bucket of hot water.

Shi Fuxin didn't say anything, got up and went to the inner clean room.

Before taking a bath, he handed two packets of medicinal powder to Jingui: "Send it to the Fourth Madam and the Third Miss."

Jingui showed confusion: "This is?"

Shi Fuxin did not explain: "They know."

Hearing this, Jingui didn't ask any more questions, and quickly left the room to deliver the things.

Once Jingui left, only Yuanbao was left.

When Yuan Bao saw Fuxin entered the inner room, he didn't call her, and just stood there without moving.

When Jingui came back after delivering the things, he saw Yuan Bao standing outside, and hurriedly dragged her to the door, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you go in to serve?"

In front of the acquainted sisters, Yuan Bao made no secret of his reluctance: "The girl didn't call me."

Jingui was a little anxious: "Your girl won't take the initiative to go in unless you are called? What do you want me to say about you?" As she spoke, she sighed and lowered her voice again.

"I know you don't like it in your heart, but we have already come to the girl's side, so we have to work hard. If you are so lazy, you are not afraid that the girl will drive you away."

Yuan Bao snorted, "Sister Shan Rong, you're making too much of a fuss." As he said that, he nodded his chin to the inner room, "The fourth master's family has never been served by anyone. If we do less, they won't find anything. Strange."

Jingui frowned: "It's best to get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible. You are deceiving the Lord. If the eldest lady and the old lady find out, let alone you, even your family will be implicated."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Yuan Bao still didn't want to listen, she was worried that Shi Fuxin would wait for a long time, so she glared at her and walked quickly to the clean room.

"Girl, I'm back, shall I come in and wait for you to take a bath?"

"No, I'll call you if I have something to do."

Hearing this, Yuan Bao immediately gave Jingui a look of "you see what I said is right".

Jingui ignored her and stood outside the screen: "Girl, I'm right outside, call me if you have anything to do."

"Um."

In the wooden barrel, Shi Fuxin didn't go under the water until she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and then she surfaced. After doing this several times, she didn't get out of the barrel until the water became cold.

Jingui heard the noise from the inner room, hesitated to ask, but saw Shi Fuxin came out wearing a dress, paused, and quickly laughed: "The girl looks really good in these dresses."

Everyone loves to hear good things, especially when she is praised for her good looks. The two dimples on both sides of Shi Fuxin's (Li Wuya) mouth are immediately revealed.

With crooked eyebrows and a sweet smile, Jingui was a little dazed by the smile.

To be honest, apart from the darker skin and rougher skin of the fourth master's family, they are actually very good-looking, not inferior to other young masters and girls in the mansion.

While Jingui was in a daze, Shi Fuxin had already walked to the dressing table and sat down, her black hair like a waterfall of ink was hanging down naturally.

"Girl's black hair is really good, it's black and shiny." Jingui walked over with a smile, "Let me help the girl brush her hair."

Shi Fuxin was looking at herself in the bronze mirror. Although the bronze mirror was still quite clear, she still missed the glass mirror very much, so she couldn't help asking: "Is there no glass mirror in the capital?"

Jingui showed surprise: "Miss, do you know about glass mirrors?"

Shi Fuxin smiled: "I know it's weird?"

Jingui quickly shook his head: "I don't mean that, the servant girl. The glass mirror is a foreign thing. The price is expensive, and the supply is in short supply. The old lady and a few wives have it in the mansion."

Shi Fuxin immediately asked: "Does my mother have it?"

Jin Gui smiled sheepishly, "I don't know about this."

Shi Fuxin didn't say anything, just murmured: "There is cement but there is no glass."

Jingui didn't hear clearly: "What did the girl say?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "It's nothing." Then, she looked out the window and saw that it was still early, so she was going to lie down on the bed for a while, "It's almost dinner time, call me again."
