Houmen's concubine

Chapter 364 Granddaughter

Xiao Tingting called out obediently and softly, "Uncle, Aunt."

"Hey, Tingting, come to uncle." Hua Yu looked at the niece she had never seen before, and lowered her body to hug her.Turning to Kong Xuan, she said, "Xuan'er, remember to get a present for the child."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingqing quickly waved her hands and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, no need."

Chen Jiaojiao interjected: "Qingqing, you're welcome, they should give the niece a meeting gift."

She wants to see what gift Kong Xuan is willing to give the child as a meeting gift, if it is something worthless, don't blame the old lady for turning her face.

Chen Jiaojiao and Wang Tonger's cousins ​​have similar personalities, they like sunshine and warm people, and they don't like people like Kong Xuan the most.

When Chen Jiaojiao and her party arrived at the main courtyard, Qingning Courtyard, the servants also brought in the luggage from the carriage.

Seeing Madam Zhu coming back, Madam Zhu trotted over, and said to Chen Jiaojiao with red eyes, "Madam, why don't you take this old servant with you when you go out?"

"Cough, well, aren't you in a hurry!" Chen Jiaojiao could only explain in this way.

Nanny Kong raised her head and saw the old sister, and greeted happily: "Hey, Nanny Yang and Nanny He are here too!"

The two sisters grinned and said hello when they saw Mother Kong: "Don't be safe, Mother Kong!"

"I'm fine now!" Mother Kong said cheerfully.

Chen Jiaojiao ordered: "Nurse Kong, first send someone to take the eldest lady to the Jingxin Hall, and Yang nurse, Xiaoju and Xiaomei will follow to serve the eldest lady. Oh, and send a few pots of charcoal, don't freeze the children. "

"Yes, ma'am, this old slave will make arrangements now." Nanny Kong gave Chen Jiaojiao a blessing and was about to leave.

Chen Jiaojiao ordered again: "By the way, you can arrange accommodation for them and go wash up."

Immediately he said to the servants outside the house: "Lead Steward Hua to listen to Song Yuan to have a rest."

Chen Jiaojiao first arranged Hua An to live in the courtyard where Wang Tong'er lived. She knew that the small courtyard was not far from the main courtyard, and the most important thing was that it had been sorted out so that people could live there.

In the end, he ordered the maidservants in the yard to prepare bath water, and send it to the Jingxin Hall for the mother and daughter to take a bath.

Chen Jiaojiao ordered the people to burn up the charcoal fire in the house, and the room was as warm as spring, so that she would not be cold after taking a bath.

well!At this time, I am not the little girl I used to be able to withstand the cold...

I think that in the winter with my cousin Tong'er, I wore short skirts and boots with a knee-length down jacket or long cashmere coat, and the cold winter passed inadvertently.

When I first met Hua Qingqing, I had already forgotten my tiredness, and now I was soaking in the bathtub, and my whole body felt sour...

Nanny Kong settled down Hua Qingqing, leaving Nanny Xu and the others to serve there, and hurried over to take care of his wife.

After adding hot water to Chen Jiaojiao's bathtub several times, Chen Jiaojiao felt comfortable and alive.

"Mother Kong, after I left, I asked you to find out how many servants there are in the mansion and how much their monthly bills are. Have you found out clearly?"

"Returning to Madam, the old slave will find out the next day."

Madam Kong really didn’t expect that the eldest young mistress would be so good at living. In the family, except for the housekeeper who is rich and noble, who pays two taels of silver a month, the rest is only her close-knit nun and maid who pay one tael of silver, and everyone else pays three hundred cash... ···
Besides, the food at home is hard to describe.

Madam has been away for such a long time, and they have never eaten meat once as servants.

She followed Madam to the Eldest Young Master's Mansion before, and because she was with Madam, the meals were decent, so she didn't notice that Eldest Young Mistress was so harsh on the servants.

Nanny Kong didn't know that every time Chen Jiaojiao went to her son's house, she didn't use money to buy her a safe life?

"Well, I see, Mother Kong has worked hard for you these days."

"Ma'am, this old slave is not hard, it's just hard work for you to go to such a far place with me, Ma'am!"

When Huawenge got home, Nanny Kong was wiping Chen Jiaojiao's hair with a clean face towel.

On the way back, he heard Xiaomei briefly talk about what happened at home. When Xiaomei talked about what his daughter-in-law taught his old wife, he suddenly became angry: the old wife who has been married to the old man for nearly 40 years, he has never treated her Loudly, let alone accuse and blame her?

It's against her!

It's just that I am a father-in-law, so I will never teach her a lesson, so I can only vent my anger on my son.

As soon as Huawenge entered the gate of Huafu, he saw his son Huayu, before he could kowtow filially to his old father to say hard work.

Hua Wenge's face was as deep as water, and his voice was extremely cold, and he scolded in a cold voice: "Take your daughter-in-law to kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Hua Yu: "..." What's the matter?Son don't want face?

Butler Fugui: The young master is also a fourth-rank official after all...
Kong Xuan was astonished and asked at the same time: "What is father-in-law doing?"

He slandered in his heart: What's wrong with my husband?
All the servants in the mansion bowed to Huawen Pavilion together: "I have seen the master." Then, they bowed and retreated knowingly.

They know it well, whoever they offend, don't offend Madam!In the past, they all acted according to the eyes of the eldest young mistress, but now they must do their work according to the eyes of the madam.

The servants in Huafu are basically brought by Hua Yu from his own mansion, and Kong Xuan is their master in their mind.

Now we have to recognize the situation, the people in charge of this family must be the master and wife...
In fact, these servants are still a little envious of Madam's nurses and maids from their hometown. You see, although they are dusty, their clothes are not of the same level as their own.

Kong Xuan was originally a frugal person, and instead of changing the clothes of the servants every year, they were given new clothes every two or three years.What's more, the fabrics of the clothes are old goods at a discount in the cloth shop, and they buy them for them to make by themselves, or ask the embroiderers in the house to make them.

In other words, whether it is the original owner or the current Chen Jiaojiao, when will all the servants in Wuwei Villa not change into a new set of clothes every year?

Therefore, the clothes on them must be brighter than those of the nuns and maids around Kong Xuan.

When Huawenge heard Kong Xuan's angry question, he ignored her, flicked his sleeves, lifted the hem of his robe, and walked quickly to his main courtyard.

After entering the door, she hurriedly called out in a warm voice: "Jiaojiao!" Seeing the old wife sitting on the low couch with her long soft hair hanging down, hey——the old wife is still as beautiful as before!

However, he was also relieved, when Xiaomei told him about the family affairs just now, he was still worried that the old wife would not be angry.

"This old slave has seen the master." Madam Kong hurriedly put down the face scarf in her hand, and saluted the master with her knees folded.

Huawenge nodded to her, and waved her to leave first.

He walked up to pick up a cotton towel and stood behind Chen Jiaojiao, and gently wiped her half-dried hair.
