Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 6 Mobilization
Huilan gave an order, and the maids went to call for someone.Alas, she is a dick, and she has begun to degenerate, Whelan secretly despises herself.

There were three people, one man and two women.I haven't looked carefully for a few days. Mama Wang, Steward Li, and the mother I met before, are all emaciated visible to the naked eye.Whelan asked them to sit down, and asked the maid to pour tea, and they all politely said a few words and then followed suit.

"You've all worked hard these past few days. No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat and rest. Your health is important. I'll thank you very much when father's event is over." Whelan said sincerely.She is a Xibei product, enjoying the great blessings and wealth left by her father, but because of her young age and poor health and guilty conscience, she can't even personally take care of his funeral. She feels ashamed in her heart.The people in front of me, Steward Li, Mama Yue, and the former Steward Zhou Youcai were all father's companions and maids since childhood, and Mama Wang was mother's maid since childhood, and she was Huilan's nanny when she was married.Mother Yue married Uncle Zhou, and Mother Wang married Uncle Li. The two of them were confidantes, otherwise Father would not have left them to her at ease.They are all caring people of their fathers and mothers, and they do not lose the feelings of her original body and father and mother.For them, she is respected as a half elder.

How could a few capable housekeepers and stewards fail to feel the sincere concern of the little master.

"Thank you for your concern, miss. It's what old slaves should do. You can't be praised and thanked by a girl." Butler Li said emotionally, "The girl is weak, so she needs to take good care of her. Hello, the master and wife can rest assured. Only the old slaves can feel at ease. Now, the girl is the backbone of the Li family, and with you here, the Li family will still be there."

Both Wang Mama and Yue Mama echoed their voices, advising her not to be too sad, but to take care of her body.

"I know, I will take good care of myself. You should also take good care of yourself. The Li family can't live without you."

The master and the servant exchanged their hearts, and made a few more homework.Butler Li offered to ask Whelan to show you the matter of moving and relocating the belongings of the family.Mama Wang also said that this matter is complicated and trivial, and it involves too much, so it must be done as soon as possible, so as not to miss the deadline or lose the imperial gift, it will be bad.Butler Li and Mother Yue also nodded in approval.

Whelan nodded with a headache, "You're right. This is a big deal, and we need to get started as soon as possible. It's just that my uncle and aunt are going back to their hometown in a few days, so we have to prepare gifts for my grandparents and things for my uncle and aunt on the way." That's fine. There is no one who lifts things to sweep the dust in front of the guests, it's too rude."

When they heard this, they looked at each other, and Li Guanjia said: "What the girl said is that the old slaves are not thinking well."

Whelan waved her hand, "Uncle just mentioned it to me this morning, and you don't know about it, so I don't blame you." After a pause, Whelan looked at them and smiled meaningfully (it's a pity that what others saw was just cute!), "Uncle My aunt is going back, and my aunt also said that she only came to pay homage every seven days. In addition to father's important affairs, the rest of the family, such as returning property, moving, handing over the uncle's mansion with the court, and giving land and gifts, all have to be shared by us. As soon as I got started, Uncle Li, Zhou Shuyue and his mother were all old people who had been with my father since childhood, and they were my father's right-hand man. Ms. Wang was no exception, she was my mother's most powerful arm. My aunt told me about the family motto of my Li family, I also admire the wise foresight of my ancestors. As a descendant of the Li family, I have no hesitation. It's just that I am still young and have never been in contact with anything. I don't want to bother the two masters. This is the first time I have done something, I don’t want to do it too brightly, I just want it to be without fault. That is the first time that I, the only descendant of the Li family, have done a big thing. My parents didn’t treat you as outsiders, I also treated you as an outsider. The elders read it. Our family must work together to make this happen. It not only comforts the elders, but also appeases the family members, letting them know that the Li family has successors!"

Whelan's words had already been turned over and over several times in her heart, and when she said them in one breath, they were powerful and deafening.Whelan was panting secretly while crying in her heart. She finally gave a speech successfully after a social fear, so excited! ! !

The loyal servants were moved by hearing this, and expressed their vows to follow the girl to the death.I must do my best to help the girl complete this matter, so as not to embarrass the Li family or the girl.

Whelan quickly asked everyone to drink tea to calm down, don't get too excited, there are still a lot of things to do.

After a few people calmed down, Huilan asked everyone to brainstorm and think about what gift to give to the grandfather's family first.

Ms. Wang said that the Wang family are all civil servants. After the wife got married, there are basically rare copies of famous paintings or pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the annual ceremony every year.

Didn't it mean that civil and military have different paths? How come a family of martial arts in their family has a second-class Jinshi, and they are married to the family of civil servants. Is this society so harmonious?Whelan thought about it strangely and immediately put it behind her. It has nothing to do with her. Anyway, she will neither be a civil servant nor a general in the future.

Whelan secretly scolded herself for reading so many old sayings for nothing, and even forgot the list of rituals.She immediately asked Mama Wang and Steward Li and Mama Yue to discuss and prepare a decent gift according to the etiquette list, and showed her the prepared things before dinner, and they took orders to leave.

Seeing that they all went out, Whelan heaved a long sigh of relief.A person stretched his teeth and danced his claws and ran and jumped several times in the room, and finally resolved a lot of emotions such as excitement and apprehension.Tired, she was sweating on her forehead, and she was panting heavily in the room with her hips on her hips.

When she was relieved, she called Liu Ya Liu Ye, who had been waiting at the door, to come in.Although the two maids are young, they are just girls who have just entered junior high school.But she was more considerate and thoughtful than her thirty-year-old eldest sister. As soon as she came in and saw her appearance, one of them gathered water for washing face, and the other rushed to pour water for her to drink.

Whelan felt ashamed to see others. It turned out that she was not able to make a fortune back then not because the society was too dangerous, but because she was too incompetent! ! !face hurts...

Waiting for her, who was wandering in the sky, to be washed and drank by the waiter, Liu Ya brought another plate of pastries that smelled sweet and looked delicious, which instantly brought Huilan back to her soul.

Don't worry about it, it's useless if you don't have it, it's important to eat delicious food.

There are two plates in total, eight yuan per plate, small and exquisite, and the taste is not inferior to Whelan's high-end snacks that I bought before Chinese New Year.It's a pity that she is a bean now, with a small bird's stomach, and she can't eat after only two pieces.I had no choice but to reluctantly let them take it down and share the green fruit with them.

Liu Ya responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Huilan.She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had an idea. "Take some snacks to talk to Qingguo, and inquire about the affairs of the Zhen Guogong's mansion by the way. We will live there in the future, so we need to know something first, so that we can make some preparations, so as not to lose our eyesight. Once you offend someone, it’s bad. Don’t ask too deeply, just ask something that everyone knows.”

Liu Ya bowed to the order and withdrew.

Looking at the willow leaves beside her with low eyebrows, Huilan chatted with her for a while.So she knew the family's salary level from top to bottom, New Year's rewards, and the number of servants in the family.As I asked, I sighed secretly. When my grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother were all present in this family, plus her, there were only five people in total (not counting the time when they couldn't live at the same time), and there were seventy or eighty servants serving them. Not counting the ones in Zhuangzi's Zhaizi shop.There are more than a dozen people serving under her name alone, and they get 16 taels of silver a month!Ah Le, please forgive a social animal who was born in a well-to-do family and has no worries about food and clothing but no big money. I was deeply surprised and lamented a sentence of corruption and extravagance!In this way, in Liu Ye's mouth, there are still one-third to one-half fewer than the servants of the same class.

Well, it was her fault. Poverty limited her imagination, and the age gap completely broke her inherent cognition.Sure enough, she still has a long way to go to become a real ancient noble lady.Fortunately, she didn't criticize herself just now. That's not being outspoken, it's looking for death.Whelan is once again vigilant, don't judge the customs and customs of different eras with inherent thinking, this is not only about face but also about life!
