Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 3 Lessons from the maid
Ordinarily, it is not easy to restore the status of a concubine, and most people despise it, but Ma's father is now in the official court, and his status is no longer what it used to be. Naturally, the tide of being a daughter is rising, and the Yao family has to give this face.

Furthermore, now that the Empress Dowager is in power in Dazhou, the True Dragon Emperor is just a decoration, and he can only say yes in front of the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager has a strong and courageous personality, and she is very strategic. During the two or thirty years since she took power, women's social status has also improved a lot unconsciously.

As one goes up and down, those stereotypes and bad habits that restrict and restrain women are also ignored and discarded by people.In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not surprising for women to divorce, remarry, go out to play, or open the door to do business, let alone a mere concubine's room?
Although Mrs. Ma got upright and became a family, after all, she was born in a small family and became the head of the house. She was very proud and anxious-she was afraid that she didn't understand the various ways that the rich and powerful in the upper class could show their status. He was ridiculed for his strict rules!

Therefore, the Ma family specially spent a lot of money to hire nuns from the palace to teach various etiquette rules, and they wanted to change their bones and become a real upper class mistress.But they don't know that a monkey is a monkey, put on human clothes, after a series of training by the animal trainer, it is still a monkey in essence, it cannot become a human!

If there is a sentence or a sentence of "do not understand the rules" spread from the house, it will definitely step on Ma Shi's painful feet. spare!
Yao Cunhui knew this very well, and Qiao's mother knew it even more.

Yao Cunhui sneered inwardly, rubbed his chest and coughed, and waited to see what Qiao's mother would do.

Mother Qiao naturally wouldn't cause trouble for a girl, and immediately scolded Hongzhi with a cold face: "Presumptuous! Why don't you confess your mistakes to the second lady? The second lady's good temper has made you two get used to the young lady's temper!"

"Second Miss, this servant made a mistake, I beg Second Miss to forgive this incident, this servant will never dare again!" Hong Zhi was shocked, angry and aggrieved, her words were choked up and she bowed her head to make amends, her hands were cold.

In front of Yao Cunhui, how could she have been wronged like this?Yao Cunhui has always looked at her with timid eyes and acted according to her ideas. When did he dare to show her face?This huge gap between the sky and the ground landed on her body in vain, making her unbearable, completely forgetting that it is her duty to obey the master's orders!
Seeing this, Yao Cunhui said: "As a young lady of the Yao Mansion, I shouldn't argue with the girl, but Mother Qiao, you have seen it too. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to order her around! If this happens again and again, I'll have a good time." But? So, this girl, please take her away!"

"This—" Qiao's mother hurriedly laughed and said, "Second Miss, don't be wronged! You are just a girl, how dare you not listen to Second Miss's words? Second Miss taught her this time, so she should know her duty next time! Second Miss She has always been kind, and Hongzhi has been with you for so many years, and she is a big girl with face. Second Miss, if you kick her out like this, how can she have face to face others? You should give her a way out! "

As Qiao's mother spoke, she winked at Hongzhi, and Hongzhi panicked at this moment, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and begged, "Second miss, please spare this servant, the servant will not dare again, please, second miss Forgive me, don't drive the slaves away!"

The big maid next to the young lady will mostly be a dowry in the future, and will be a roommate for the uncle. If she is lucky, she will give birth to a boy and a half girl for the uncle, and she will be a safe concubine!

Transforming from a maidservant to a master, this is the best way out to be a maidservant, it is also Hongzhi's ideal of struggle, and it is also the benefit Ma Shi promised her!

As for the big maid who was kicked out by the lady, she was ashamed and ridiculed, and her life was over!Others would naturally guess the reason why she was kicked out by the young lady. If it wasn't for the big reason, how could the young lady kick out the maid in a good manner?With such an inexplicable reason, who do you expect to look up to her?I'm afraid that even the old lady at home would be ashamed of her, so it would be nice to match her with a low-class servant!

Hong Liao saw Hong Zhi kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and soon there was a red and swollen spot on her white and smooth forehead. I beg Second Miss to spare her this experience!"

Qiao's mother glanced quietly, seeing Yao Cunhui's persistence, she gritted her teeth and continued to laugh with her: "Second Miss, Hong Liao is right, please forgive me! If she dares to be presumptuous again next time, then Second Miss will kick you out again. She's not too late!" Hong Zhi was Ma Shi's thorn in Yao Cunhui's side, and Qiao's mother dared not take her away just like that.

"Since Qiao's mother said so, I'll make a note of this incident, and next time, I will be punished for both crimes!" Yao Cunhui said slowly, his tone suddenly froze, and he stared at Hongzhi and shouted: "Get up! You What is it? Knock your head off so that people will say that Miss Ben abused slaves? You want to trap Miss Ben in injustice?"

With a "buzz" in her head, Hong Zhi was so frightened that her heart trembled wildly, her face turned pale immediately, and she hurriedly said: "I don't dare!" She timidly glanced at Yao Cunhui, met her straight and sharp eyes, her legs and feet were almost paralyzed On the ground, he hurriedly got up tremblingly, and stood aside with his head bowed.

"Go out and kneel on the porch, and reflect on what you did wrong!" Yao Cunhui glared at her in disgust.

"Yes, Second Miss." How could Hongzhi dare to play tricks, she was obedient and even a little relieved and hurried out. After thinking about it, she walked to the end of the corridor where people were coming and going. He knelt down, not daring others to see the bruise on his forehead.

"Thank you, Mom Qiao, today. If it wasn't for my mother to make the decision, I still don't know what to do! My mother is tired from running around, Hong Liao, please sit down and serve tea." Yao Cunhui looked at her with bright eyes. To Qiao's mother, her eyes were full of gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

What Yao Cunhui wanted was the attitude of Qiao's mother and Hongzhi, so naturally he didn't think that he could drive Hongzhi away just like that.What's more, if one Hongzhi is driven away, another Hongzhi will come, so it is better to keep her than to keep her.However, she also wants to let her know that she is no longer the Yao Cunhui she used to be, but take it easy and don't touch her bottom line!
Qiao's mother was a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw Yao Cunhui treating each other like this, she immediately became flustered again, and suddenly felt that the [-] pores in her body were stretched, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, and laughed repeatedly: "Two Miss is too polite, old slave can't afford it!" While sitting on the embroidered pier brought by the red Polygonum, he took the tea.

Yao Cunhui had a polite talk with her for a while, and seeing that she was not in good spirits, Qiao's mother stood up with a very satisfied smile and left with a smile.

Yao Cunhui didn't leave her behind either, leaning over and smiling, "Mom, go back and say hello to mother for me. When I feel better tomorrow, I'll go over and say hello to mother!"

"Don't worry about it, old slave! Second Miss, you can just take a rest, your body is important!" Mother Qiao lifted the curtain and left with a smile.

The second young lady is usually honest, not talkative, she hides behind the girl when she sees people, and no one will like her hunched shoulders when she sees her!Today seems to be a different person, presumably he slipped around the gate of hell and learned to be good!For the sake of her being so polite and respectful to me, let me say something nice for her today!Alas, in fact, this motherless child is all to blame for being poor!Mother Qiao thought subconsciously.Suddenly startled again, raised his hand and smacked his mouth lightly, muttering to himself: "Blind, what am I thinking about!"

"Second Miss, why are you up!" Hong Liao packed up the tea bowl and came in, and was startled when she saw Yao Cunhui got off the bed. I just woke up, please lie down for a while, carefully dizzy!"

"I'm fine! My back hurts after lying down for so long, but I want to get up and sit down!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.In fact, she was a little hungry, but it was long past lunch time and dinner time hadn't arrived yet. The house rule is that no dinner is served until the time is up.Of course, Mrs. Ma has a small kitchen, and she can eat whatever she wants at any time, which is not within the rules, and Yao Cunmei is also blessed by her.As for the candied desserts, Yao Cunhui said that apart from the one or two plates of rough-tasting treats that will be distributed during the Chinese New Year, there are no shadows of them on weekdays!

"Second Miss, is everything okay?" Hong Liao became nervous again after hearing her say that.

"Look at you! I'm fine." Yao Cunhui couldn't help laughing, and ordered: "Bring me some clothes and put them on!"

"Yes, Second Miss!" Hong Liao helped Yao Cunhui to sit on the old stripped lacquer arhat couch next to the wall, and then went to get her clothes from the closet.

Yao Cunhui looked at her boudoir. There were three small rooms that were not completely separated. The inside was a bedroom, the middle was a small waiting room and living room, and there was a long couch by the window on the right, which looked like two big rooms. The place where the girl sleeps at night is a half-new and old lacquered cabinet that is as tall as a person at one end.

At the moment she is sitting on the couch in the living room, behind the couch is a long case, on which are placed two earthen vases one or two feet high, on the tea table in front of the couch are half-green crude teapots and teacups. A small bamboo basket with scattered needles, threads, and embroidered cloth inside.

Apart from this, there are no extra decorations in the house.

There are curtains hanging between the three rooms, the same color of half-new and old smoked blue plain cloth, which matches the plain green curtains hanging on the wooden bed, lonely and desolate, not like the residence of a young lady who has not left the court, clearly suitable for three people The status of a teenage widow!
"Second Miss!" After a while, Hong Liao took out the clothes and helped Yao Cunhui to put them on.The pair of skirts with emerald blue and small floral patterns on a white fish belly, plain white satin long skirt, inferior Ning silk material, the tentacles are a bit rough.

Yao Cunhui smiled slightly.
