Wear It with Space

When Aunt Wu came to Yuanxiangtang where the mistress lived, the big maid Ding Xiang was leading the little maids to do their jobs under the porch.

Dingxiang's ears were so clever that Aunt Wu walked halfway to the veranda, she heard the movement, looked up at the person, and waved her hand first.

Aunt Wu eased her footsteps, walked closer, and said softly: "The mistress hasn't gotten up for a nap yet?"

"I guess it's coming soon," Dingxiang whispered, "My auntie sits down, I'll go inside and have a look."

After Ding Xiang left, Aunt Wu found a random place to sit down and watched the little maids do their jobs while waiting.

Two quarters of an hour later, there was a little movement in the main room. The little maidservants under the porch stopped doing any work. The auntie called in.

In the three main rooms, in the middle is the hall surrounded by screens of Huanghuali inlaid with emerald embossed landscapes, flowers and birds. The east part is the bedroom, and the west part is the place where the mistress takes care of many chores in the house.

When Aunt Wu was led by Ding Xiang into the West, the mistress was leaning on the bed of mahogany inlaid snails and mellow stones. Xu was just waking up from a nap, and she seemed a little lazy. Her right hand slowly fiddled with what she was wearing on her left wrist. The suet jade bracelet asked Aunt Wu casually: "Did they all send people to you?"

Aunt Wu lowered her eyebrows: "If you return to the mistress, they are all delivered. No one dares to violate your intentions."

The second grandmother chuckled: "That **** Zhang Yaqin was also willing. Didn't she expect her daughter to fly to the branch to become a phoenix?" At this point, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes, "If you can't be an aunt, just continue Cultivating a daughter is really unchangeable!"

Aunt Wu knew that the mistress had been looking at Zhang Yaqin, who was still Madam Hou's confidant at the time, and it was not pleasing to her eyes. Madam Geinhou had deliberately pointed Zhang Yaqin to her second master as her aunt. After some calculations by the mistress, Zhang Yaqin finally did the continuation of Guan Shi Li.

So after some hesitation, she hesitated and said: "It was not Zhang's daughter that Guanshi Li sent to me, but his eldest daughter, Abi."

"Guan Shi also has an eldest daughter?" The second grandmother frowned slightly, "Why have I never heard of it."

"I heard that she has always been raised in the country. By the way, her deceased mother used to be the maid by the third grandmother." Aunt Wu said.

The second grandmother sneered, "Isn’t Zhang Yaqin afraid that I will abuse her daughter? I want to uphold her daughter today. You can pick two of those daughters who are in charge, and then bring the one named Abi. Let’s do it together. Go back to the old lady."

Shen Ling was quickly taken to the Rong'an Hall where Madam Hou lived. She looked at the furnishings in the room, the Huanghuali embossed flower screen, the Huanghuali three-legged incense table, and the Huanghuali three-screen inlaid green marble heart Luohan bed. Huanghuali Furniture.

On the bed of Arhat sat a 47-year-old lady, and beside him was a little girl of twelve or thirteen.

That noble lady is the loyal and filial wife of the Hou Mansion, and that little girl is a three-bedroom wife, who is the second in the mansion, and has been raised by Mrs. Hou since she was a child.

When the mistress took them and her party to please Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "The second child, where did you find the three neat children, they all look pretty handsome."

The second grandmother smiled and said: "There are a lot of old maids in the house, and there are not enough staff in each room. This year, the family of the right age has fewer children, and it is too late to go outside to buy. I just thought that the daughters of the housekeepers are also around. To be naughty at home, it is better to let them send people to the house. One way to relieve this urgent need, and secondly to learn some rules, wouldn't it have the best of both worlds."

Madam Hou couldn't help but nodded and said: "What you said is very true. The maids who are bought from outside are not as good as their own slaves, and they can use it with ease."

The second grandmother smiled and said, "After the wife's maids left, there are still three people left in the room. With these three people to make up, how does the wife feel?"

Madam Hou smiled and said: "Ms. Hui Niang said that since Amber and Glass went out, Rong An Tang has been deserted a lot. She wants me to choose a few more maids. Now I think these people are very good, so they will stay. Rong'antang!"

The second grandmother smiled and said: "It seems that the daughter-in-law is doing the right thing. By the way, there is one more thing to return to his wife. One of the three is Yaqin's daughter. Yaqin has been serving in front of his wife since she was an errand. Now she It’s really a good story for his daughter to be in front of his wife again."

Madam Hou looked at the three of them carefully, and asked: "Yaqin’s daughter, Azi, came to me a few days ago to please me. Although I am old, I still have a memory. The second one, you are not with me. Joking?"

The second wife said: "How dare your daughter-in-law joking with you? One of them is indeed Yaqin's daughter." She pointed to Shen Ling among the three. "It is the daughter who was born before Li Guanzhang, who was raised since childhood. The country, my wife must have never seen it."

Madam Hou glanced at Shen Ling indifferently, without speaking. Suddenly, Hui Niang sitting by the side asked Shen Ling, "Since you are Guan Shi's daughter, how come you live in the country?"

Shen Ling raised her head and glanced at her. Hui Niang was about twelve or thirteen years old. She was born in Yuxue and lovely. She wore a magnolia color embroidered acacia flower brocade gown, and her brows lined up like a picture. Her big eyes looked so determinedly she was.

She remembered how the original body lived, and sighed in her heart, and said in a low voice: "My mother died early, and my father sent me to the country after my stepmother passed the door."

Hui Niang sighed: "People say that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. That's really good."

The second grandma couldn't help but cocked her mouth when she heard this, but before she laughed out, Madam Hou glanced at her. The mistress immediately lowered her head.

Madam Hou coughed slightly: "Shu Shan, you take the three of them down and hand them to Mother An, when have you learned the rules, and then let them serve in the upper room."

As soon as these words fell, a big maid with apricot eyes, peach cheeks and purple jade grape earrings came over.

Madam Hou didn't know what she thought of, her eyes sank slightly, then she looked at the two girls next to Shen Ling, and suddenly said, "Wait, Coral, go and get the gold box the day before."

Coral only froze for a moment, and then brought a gold box in accordance with Madam Hou's orders.

Madam Hou motioned to Shanhu to hand over the box to Shen Ling, and said lightly: "Okay, take them down!"

Shen Ling held the box and went out with Coral and the others. Go out from the upper room of Rong'an Hall, go back through the gate of a month, and arrive at the place where people live under Rong'an Hall.

Shan Shan mentioned Shen Ling on the road, "In the house just now, since the wife has rewarded you with something, you should bow to her and thank you."

Shen Lingjing understood her reminder, "Thank you sister for the point."

Shan Shan smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. Since you are from the country, you must have never learned the rules before, and your wife doesn't account for these." While she was talking with Shen Ling, she did not forget to mention the remaining two. People, "But you will learn the rules from Mother An in the future. You still need to pay attention to these details."

The few people were talking, and they went to the courtyard where Mother An was staying. Shan Shan took Madam Hou's meaning and left.

The first thing Mother An did was to arrange their accommodation. She pointed to the east and west wing and said, "I only have two vacant rooms here. The three of you will discuss it yourself."

The other two girls named Zhen'er said: "I'm less courageous, I want to sleep in a room with someone else."

Another named Xiaochan immediately said: "Then I will be with you."

Shen Ling said: "In this case, you choose the room first."

The two girls quickly chose the West Wing, and Shen Ling occupied the East Wing.

After the room was selected, Mother Ann didn't teach them to learn the rules right away, but let them settle down here first, and then talk about it when they became familiar with the environment.

When Shen Ling stayed alone in the room, he opened the box given by Madam Hou. There are two white jade butterfly hairpins, a water magnolia flower hairpin, a pair of silver and turquoise bracelets and a pair of pearl earrings in the box.

The jade quality of the three hairpins is similar to the pair of white jade bracelets that Mrs. Xu's sister-in-law gave her before, and they can only be regarded as middle-grade. It was the pair of pearl earrings. The pearl on it was about the size of a lotus seed. It can be said to be the most valuable of those jewelry.

When Shen Ling went to see Mother An again the next day, she wore the water magnolia flower hairpin given by Madam Hou on her head.

Mother An is a very kind person, she always has a smile on her face when she talks, not only teaches them the rules of the house, but also teaches them to embroider silk flowers.

The other two girls, Zhen'er and Xiaochan, are used to being pampered at home, and at the beginning they could restrain their temper and learn something. After a long time, seeing that Mother An had a good temper, she couldn't help but slowly reveal her original temperament. The rules are okay, but the needlework is so-so, and the silk flower is not very good.

However, Shen Ling learns very seriously, she knows one truth well, she doesn't overwhelm her with many skills. Although she found those rules to be cumbersome, she still studied meticulously. As for the female celebrities that Mother An taught them, this is what she is good at, and she learns more seriously.

However, Shen Ling felt that there was too little time to learn embroidery. Sometimes in private, she would ask Mother An for some embroidery skills. Although she was not very enthusiastic, she still gave Shen Ling seriously.

Under her guidance, Shen Ling's embroidery skills improved rapidly. Maybe it was because she could see that Shen Ling was very talented here, and Mother An, out of a mentality of cherishing talents, sometimes taught her some acupuncture methods.

A month later, Shen Ling received a monthly bill of seven hundred yuan. Then Mother An gave them a day off to let them relax. Zhen'er and Xiaochan went home happily. Shen Ling didn't want to go back to Guan Shi Li, so she went to Rong An Tang's maid, Shan Shan, and asked for a sign to go out.

The vegetables in the space have been harvested for several crops, but they are still piled up in the warehouse because they cannot be eaten. Shen Ling thought that planting vegetables on the black soil is a bit wasteful, so it is better to plant some precious flowers and plants on it. There is also Mother An, who has troubled her many times in private, so I should buy something to show respect.

From the back street of Zhongxiaohou's Mansion, walk a short distance to the south and you will reach the main street. As the capital of a dynasty, the streets are naturally busy. Shen Ling rarely sees such a prosperous scene, and only feels dazzled for a while.

Before she knew it, she walked to the famous Wangji dim sum shop. Shen Ling saw the people coming and going in the shop and knew that the dim sum sold in this shop was good. She remembered that Mother Ann loved to eat sweets. She had seen several kinds of oil-paper-wrapped snacks in her room, so she went in and bought two sweet snacks for her.

Originally, she wanted to buy more dim sum for herself, but for those two kinds of dim sum, 700 dollars had already been spent. She wanted to go to the flower market to buy flowers, so she let go of this idea, anyway, it will be a long time in Japan.
