in charge

Chapter 10

"Are you the maid next to the master?" The housekeeper Yuemo just entered the mansion, and he still couldn't tell who was from whom, but he remembered the maid's controlling skirt color, and subconsciously took the second-class maid who appeared in the outer garden as a Qiu Si Qiu Wu brought them out of the house.

"No..." After saying half a word, there was an extra tray in front of my eyes, and there were two beautiful high-necked teapots on it.

"Hurry up and send it to the Wild Goose Tower, Fourth Master is waiting." Really, he obviously called a girl to wait outside the Wild Goose Tower, but when he saw it just now, there was no one there.The fourth master is suave and suave, he likes fine wine and food to be handled by women, if he sends them in by himself, he will be scolded.Besides, he was not the one who served tea and water.Fortunately, one left and one came.

ah?A sentence popped into Mo Zi's head, after walking at night, he will eventually meet a ghost.She walked in the outer garden for a long time and ended up in bad luck.What's more, she almost met the brother of this family just now, and thought she had escaped by luck, but let her meet the brother of this family?

Mo Zi has been in the Qiu Mansion for half a year.In the past six months, Qiu Sanniang lived in seclusion, and usually brought Baihe, Xiaoyi or Green Chrysanthemum, and rarely brought her.Qiu Sanniang didn't want people to remember her face because of expatriate considerations, and she herself didn't like to join in the fun.

That's all for the female relatives, Mo Zi has only seen Qiu four times and Qiu five times, and every time she is dusty, she is the shadow of Qiu Sanniang.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you pick it up? Let Fourth Master lose his temper, you take care of it?" Why are you so dumbfounded?The housekeeper was very impatient, "I also have something urgent to do."

"I'm not fourth master's maid." Mo Zi should have taken it.

The status of the butler is higher than her, and the outer garden is where the butlers decide.If there is no master present, the first-class maids who are free will have to listen to her.But in her bones, there is no slavishness.As for the girl's title dangling around her head, she was only half-doing it.

"Aren't you the master?" The housekeeper was a little annoyed, "You can go if you are told." The maid in that room doesn't know the rules at all!

Seeing that the housekeeper was talking about this, Mo Zi had no choice but to go, so she reluctantly accepted it.

The butler left angrily.

Mo Zi had an impulse to put the tray on the ground and leave.However, this is a strictly hierarchical society.Qiu Sanniang is different, but Mrs. Zhang, Qiu Si Qiu Wu and others put on the face of their masters.People under the eaves had to bow their heads.What's more, she is currently a maidservant.

With a sharp knife hanging in her heart, she swallowed her breath and walked into the wild goose tower.

The Yan Tower is the facade of the Qiu Mansion. It was recently redecorated and is magnificent.With the limited experience she could remember, she felt that it was too vulgar.Famous calligraphy and paintings (not sure if they are true or not) are glitteringly set in gold frames, as if people would not know that they are valuable things.

A big round table was set up in the main hall, with six or seven people sitting around it.Apart from Qiu Si, Mo Zi had never seen anyone.

Qiu Si's appearance is much more upright than Qiu Wu's.Two thick eyebrows, a pair of sword eyes, a high forehead, a square face, and a dignified appearance.He was dressed in a brocade robe of white clouds and green pine, which set off his broad chest, broad shoulders, big shoulders and round waist, which was the most standard appearance of a handsome husband in Da Zhou.Like Qiu Wu, he has excellent conditions for being romantic.This is similar to the humanistic era during the transition from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and being able to flirt abroad is also an elegant thing.

Besides, the others were all middle-aged men, so it seemed that Qiu Si, who was on the guest seat, had an extraordinary aura, which attracted a few pairs of coquettish eyes.

It turned out that there were three or four singers nearby.She was wearing plain satin and pink gauze, her makeup was light, and she did not have a musical instrument by her side.Among them, the one with the most outstanding appearance, with lovesick cheeks and affectionate eyes, is singing a Jiangnan Xiaoling with a cool and crisp voice, really a bit of an atmosphere of nostalgia.

Mo Zi thought it was just right, she would be able to retire without waiting for this little order to be finished.Without further delay, go forward and pour tea for someone.

Qiu Si took a look at Mo Zi, feeling unfamiliar, and took another look, then stopped paying attention.

"It's been less than half a year since my nephew took over the family's shop, so please give me some advice from the elders. Here, my nephew will offer a toast to my uncles." Qiu Si handles favors at the dinner table with ease.

Everyone at the table raised their glasses.

"The profits of a silk and satin shop are small and the cost is high, but it depends on the end of the year. My nephew intends to open a bank and wants to find a partner. I wonder if my uncles are interested?" But it is too late to talk about business.

Fifty or so away from the main seat, a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe finished drinking tea and said, "Nephew, you don't need to be too polite. Your two families have always had a relationship, and we should maintain our relationship more in the future."

When Mo Zi heard this, Qiu Si, Qiu Si, your uncles have come over politely.How could the Qiu family have the foundation to open a bank?Use your brain.She thought to herself, her hands were not idle.After Qiu Si made such a round of respect, she had to continue pouring tea.

"Eldest nephew, don't be modest. Who knows that the Qiu family shop has made your elder sister's business flourish, and the profit is not one cent or two cents. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her walking around the shop in the next year, so it's possible that I will be there again in person." Going to business?" The middle-aged man under the main seat had a hearty voice, and a big face laughed.

Mo Zi guessed that the main seat was Wei Da, followed by Wei Er, the man in his 30s who listened intently to the music, with a scholarly look on his face, should be Wei San.

Because someone mentioned Qiu Sanniang, Qiu Si's face flashed with disapproval, "Sanniang has been at home all the time. Since my father handed over the shop to us brothers, there is no need for her to show her face again."

"It's a pity." Wei Er sighed.

"What a pity?" Wei Da is more conservative than Wei Er, "No matter how capable she is, she is still a daughter. Specializing in female celebrities, serving her parents at home, caring for her husband and filial to her in-laws after marriage, that is the duty of a good woman. If a man body, that's all."

"What the uncles said is true. It was my father who doted on my elder sister and let her mess around. Now that my brothers and I have grown up, my mother keeps her at home and learns to be a female celebrity. She is long past the time to marry. Age. We are anxious now, I am afraid that we will not be able to choose a good family." Qiu Si really has a skill in socializing.

Those who don't know it, think that siblings are deeply in love.

"That's wrong. Qiu Sanniang is well-known throughout the city. If the news spreads that she wants to choose a son-in-law, the matchmaker will not be able to step through the threshold." Wei Er spoke highly of Qiu Sanniang, "As far as I know, the young owner of the Wang Family Medicine Store in the east of the city is I admire her very much. How about it, do you want me to match her?"

Mo Zi's ears perked up.God knows, like Qiu Sanniang, she doesn't want to be trapped in this mansion, engaging in house fighting with a group of women who are doing things from morning till night.

"Mother wants to find a good marriage for Sanniang, preferably from a scholarly family, from an official family." Qiu Si refused without thinking.

"Second brother, don't be a disservice to me. The ancestors of the Qiu family used to be court officials, so how can an upright young lady betroth an ordinary businessman?" Wei Da's sharp eyes saw the deep meaning of Qiu Si's words.

"It's not my turn to decide this matter. My mother is worried about it. If there is good news, I will invite my uncles to drink." Qiu Si did not offend anyone.

Mo Zi was so angry that her hands shook, she accidentally spilled some tea.

Originally silent, Wei San, who was probably the only one listening to the music seriously, stared at Mo Zi's hand, and suddenly said a word, drawing everyone's attention to Mo Zi.
