The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 280: People from the Capital City

Chapter 280

Su Yunduo stood beside Ning Shi and looked coldly at the maidservant who got up to work in an instant, and didn't say much, but stopped Ning Shi who wanted to help: "Mother, you just sit here and watch, if they do something wrong, you tell me."

Then he glanced at Zisu: "Go and ask if you have brought a letter with you in Beijing?"

Zisu nodded, and went to whisper a few words with the obviously leading nun.

But after a while, the nanny came over with Zisu, knelt down and kowtowed obediently in front of Ning Shi and Su Yunduo, and said respectfully: "I have seen my wife, I have seen my lady."

Seeing Nanny coming, she knelt down and kowtowed to herself. Ning was very at a loss, but Su Yunduo pressed her shoulders and accepted the ceremony.

Su Yunduo signaled Zisu to help Mammy get up: "What's your name?"

"My servant's family name is Chen." Mammy replied with her head lowered.

"Why is Mother Chen here?" Su Yunduo asked lightly.

"The servants are ordered by the old lady to bring a few of them here to serve the lady and the young lady." Nanny Chen looked slightly embarrassed.

A faint smile appeared on Su Yunduo's face: "We country people can't be served by mothers and sisters. Today I wrong you to rest in the humble house for a day. Let's go back tomorrow."

Su Yunduo's tone was indifferent and calm, but it put a lot of pressure on Nanny Chen, who would regret it to the point of dying.

Before leaving Beijing, the old lady told her to bring a few people over to take care of the wife and young lady, but she felt contemptuous and tempting because the lady was born in the countryside.

The wife is indeed soft-tempered, obviously they are just servants, but she cleans up for them herself.

Miss looks young and delicate, but she is a formidable one.

If this incident offends the lady, and they are really driven back to the capital like this, they won't have to stay in the Su family anymore. It would be considered light to go to the Zhuangzi, and they would even implicate the family members who are working in the mansion.

These servants who came to Geshan Village with Mother Chen were all born in the family, and they were all handpicked by Mrs. Lu. Except that she was serving in front of Mrs. Lu, there was another maid named Bai Zhi It was the big maid next to Mrs. Lu.

The other two maids, one is the best embroiderer in the sewing room in the mansion, and the other is the best cook in the mansion. They are usually the ones who are worthy of the old lady. It can be seen that the old lady is very satisfied with Su Chengzhi, a bastard. , I feel great pity for this family.

The more Chen Momo wanted to feel annoyed by her previous behavior, the more guilty she felt, she knelt down again with a plop: "Just now, the slaves are shameless, please forgive me, Miss."

As he spoke, he held a letter written by Mrs. Lu with both hands.

Zisu stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Su Yunduo. Su Yunduo took the letter and read it slowly before handing the letter to Ning Shi who was at a loss: "Mother, take a look too, this is what grandma gave us. personal letter."

While receiving the letter, Ning pointed to Nanny Chen who was still kneeling on the ground, but she didn't say anything, but that meant more clearly.

Su Yunduo sighed slightly in her heart, although Ning's progress is still gratifying, but if she doesn't even have the consciousness of being a master, the prospect of going to the capital is really worrying.

However, Su Yunduo didn't want to be an evil master, as long as the servant acted like a servant, she didn't want to be demanding, so she followed Ning's wishes and said lightly: "Mother Chen, get up and talk."

At this time Mrs. Kong happened to come in, first gave Su Yunduo a smile of approval, and then sat down beside Ning and glanced at Nanny Chen: "I didn't expect Madam Chen to value Madam Chen so much. The wife will ask Nanny Wu to come over."

Although the old doctor Kong was only the official doctor of the Zhen Guo government when he was in the capital, his status in the Zhen Guo government was quite detached. What are the useful maids around the wife even know better than Zisu.

Nanny Wu is Mrs. Lu's dowry maid, and Nanny Chen's mother is also Mrs. Lu's dowry maid, but in front of Mrs. Lu, Nanny Wu has always been more useful than Nanny Chen's mother.

Grandma Chen's mother passed away due to illness a few years ago. Mrs. Lu thought of her old friend and saw that Nanny Chen was also a capable and neat person, so she kept Nanny Chen by her side to serve her.

This time, Mrs. Lu really wanted Madam Wu to come over at the beginning. She wanted to let Madam Wu come over to mention Ning's family, but she only considered that Madam Wu was already in her 50s, so she decided to do the job. Handed it over to Nanny Chen.

As Mrs. Lu's confidant, Nanny Chen followed Mrs. Lu to Zhen Guogong's mansion to meet Su Chengzhi many times. Naturally, she knew very well that the old lady valued Su Chengzhi very much. When she learned what Mrs. Lu meant, she took it without saying a word. This seemingly painful but extremely promising job.

Hearing Mrs. Kong mentioned Nanny Wu, Nanny Chen naturally knew what Mrs. Kong meant, and she really didn't want to lose this job, so she quickly saluted Mrs. Kong with a flattering look on her face. She said with a smile: "My servant has met Mrs. Kong, and Mrs. Kong is a disgraceful slave. How can a slave be valued as much as Madam Wu. The old lady really wants to invite Madam Wu to serve the wife and miss, but Wu The nanny is getting old, and the old lady really can't live without her, that's why the servant got this good job."

Ning had already finished reading the letter, and she was a little stunned when she heard what Nanny Chen said. Su Yunduo, who was standing beside her, gently tugged at her sleeve, which did not embarrass her. A little ashamed, but more determined to learn more about the art of imperial court from Mrs. Kong, and I can't do things like today where the master is not like the master and the servant, so that the children will be ashamed and the husband will lose face.

With Mrs. Lu's letter, and Mrs. Kong's dealings, it is naturally impossible for Su Yunduo to really send these people back to Beijing. After typing a few words appropriately, he asked others to come over and ask them what they are good at. No matter what, I didn't directly arrange them to be on errands, but let them go to settle down first, and then discussed with Ning and Mrs. Kong about the distribution of these servants.

Regarding how to distribute these servants, Mrs. Kong only made one suggestion, that is to arrange Nanny Chen by Ning's side.

In fact, Nanny Chen was also specially arranged by Mrs. Lu for Ning, but Nanny Chen made such a big temptation when she first came, which made Su Yunduo displeased.

Mrs. Kong saw that Su Yunduo was displeased with Nanny Chen, so she didn't say much in front of Ning's face, but she mentioned Su Yunduo in private. She was very clear about what the old lady was thinking, and in the end she arranged Nanny Chen to the Ning family, so she had to trouble Mrs. Kong to beat up Nanny Chen in private.
