Wear ancient times with a house

chapter 28

Shen smiled and encouraged:
"That's enough. When you come to my house, you don't need to mow the grass, take good care of the little lady, and learn to cook and sew. You can take your time. There is only one thing that matters. Do you know what it is?"

"do not know,"

Shen said quite meaningfully:

"That's knowing who to listen to. Now that the little lady is still young, it is inevitable that we need to make decisions for her. When the little lady is older, you only need to listen to her. The most important thing for a servant is that there should be no two Heart."

The little girl nodded ignorantly, not quite understanding the meaning of the words.

Shen Shi saw it, but she didn't force her to understand now, she just said:
"It's nothing you don't understand now, just force yourself to remember it, and you'll understand it when you grow up."

Shen told Er Ya about her request, and asked Song Yun to communicate with her.

Song Yun was an ordinary social animal in her previous life, and she couldn't talk about the way of imperial servants. She is also an adult soul, and she doesn't need a seven-year-old girl to take care of her. Instead, she is more interested in life in the countryside, and she keeps asking:
"How much land does your family have? What do you plant in the field? Can you grow it? I bought some strange fruits here, but I haven't planted them all the time. Can you help me plant them in the field?"

Erya faced Song Yun, who was younger than herself, and although she knew that this was the young master, she was not too nervous after all, and told Song Yun about her family's situation in detail.

Seeing that her daughter and Erya were communicating well, Shen called in the green wheat that was tidying up outside.

Qingmai is not a fool, seeing Shen's buying a new servant with great fanfare, and talking about "loyalty" to that girl, she knew that she was criticizing herself, so she quickly admitted her mistake.

Shen Shi didn't want to talk about her first, but asked her to call all the other servants in the family, including the family who just bought it for Song Ru.

All the servants of the Song family stood up, even Song Ru and Tian Man, who was learning needlework with Song Ru, were alarmed and came to ask the reason.

Shen just sat them down beside her, and said casually:
"It's just to tell them the rules in a unified way, and you should come and listen."

After the servants stood still and Song Ru and the others sat down, Shen finally explained:

"It's not a big deal. A few days ago, I asked Qingmai to watch some children. She was busy selling embroidery work, so she left the three children in the cloth village and left by herself. Sister Yun almost got lost. .Because I was busy a few days ago, I didn't say anything."

Then she said to Qingmai:

"You have always been lazy and thoughtful. The reason why I don't control you too much is because you are still young and you have come to me since childhood. Although you are a maid, I am willing to treat you as a half sister."

Qingmai was a little ashamed and moved by what was said, and was about to express a few words of loyalty, but she didn't want Mrs. Chen to continue to say:
"You want to do some private work and save some money for yourself. I didn't stop it because I know that money is the confidence of a daughter's family."

The maids and women in the back agreed with the words and did not dare to communicate. They just looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Qingmai also felt that Shen understood her difficulties, and quickly complained:
"Yes, Madam, you know that my natal family is unreliable. It's fine if you don't come to me for money, so why would you care about me? I know that the master's family is good to me, so I thought Just thinking about it..."

Qingmai secretly raised her head to look at Shen's expression, seeing her sympathy, she gained confidence and continued:
"I just wanted to save more money, which can be used as a dowry when I get married in the future."

Song Jun was held in Shen's arms, listening to Qingmai's response, she didn't know what Shen was thinking, she just felt that this girl was a bit silly and sweet.

Even Song Yun, who has only read a few books on house fighting, knows that the marriage rights of maids and servants in ancient times were in the hands of their masters. Qing Mai even said that she was preparing a dowry for her marriage. What does Shen think? ?
Although people have selfish intentions, like the maid in "Dream of Red Mansions", who embezzles a lot of money, and lives like a rich lady in private, but people will not say it directly in front of Jia Mu and Feng Jieer.

Instead of being angry, Shen smiled, and stroked her palm lightly:

"It's not a coincidence. A few days ago, your parents came to see you and said they wanted to redeem you to marry someone. I thought, you might not want to marry yet, so you just asked You call back.

Now that you want to marry, and your parents want to redeem you, wouldn't it be good for both of you to work together, so you don't have to work hard to save money, and you can just go home. "

Qing Mai trembled, and looked at Shen in disbelief:

She knew the virtues of her parents, and so did Shen.

What kind of home could be found for her?Zuo is just a house filled by a man who beat his wife to death; or a concubine secretly raised by a rich family without a name; or a maid who is used by a merchant's family to "entertain" guests.She would rather marry a servant than be betrayed by her parents.

At this moment, she finally felt afraid of Shen Shi.It is said that the eldest lady of the Song family has a good temper and kindness, and Qingmai has always felt the same way, and even faintly felt that she was a little weak.

When servants make mistakes, she punishes them lightly; when neighbors and relatives speak badly, she just laughs.Unexpectedly, the reason why she didn't care about it was just that she was too lazy to care about it. It really made her care about it, and Qingmai found that she couldn't bear it.

She knelt down and wept bitterly and begged for mercy from Mrs. Shen, which shocked Erya who was standing beside her, and knelt down in panic.

Although the servants behind were not as unintimidated as Erya, they were also frightened and knelt down one after another.

Shen didn't say a word, she only called Erya to get up, asked her to cover Song Yun's eyes, then silently watched Qingmai crying, until she was exhausted from crying, and then opened her mouth:

"Get up and wipe away your tears."

"You know you're afraid? Maybe you still hate me for being so merciless to you."

Qingmai shook her head quickly.

Shen continued:
"It's nothing to hate, it's human nature. If something happens to my children, I will only cry more painfully than you, and I will hate those who didn't take good care of them even more."

Shen took a deep look at Qingmai, saw that her heart was trembling, and said:

"But I am the master. I hate that servant. Even if I can't let him die, I can make his life worse than death, or my parents and children. Therefore, if you want to despise my children, you should weigh the consequences."

These words were spoken to all the servants, even the Li family couple who were used to being comfortable in the Song family felt jealous.

Mrs. Song has a carefree temper and has always been tolerant of her servants. The Li family and his wife, Qingmai Baisui, are all bought by her and trained by her, so they are inevitably loose.

After Shen's marriage, she didn't change the rules much, the servants didn't make any big mistakes, and she didn't want to appear harsh, and now she took advantage of Qingmai's incident to give them a hard time.
