Daughter of General

Chapter 67
"There are also double blessings and double happiness. It is said that she is a rough envoy girl, but I heard that she has been assigned a good family. They are all stewards of the wife's accompanying room. When they get married, they can be the steward's mother." Lin Mom lowered her voice and said.

Shen Yulan nodded, she had already known this kind of thing in her mind.How could the Guo family really deal with his own people ruthlessly?It's just a look from the outside.

"In addition, although the rotation system is very good, it can't go on like this forever. On the wife's side, let's think we don't have a big girl here." The big girl in a house is very important, not only to serve the master, but also to take care of the subordinates. Girls, arrange everything properly.If this position belongs to someone else, it will be very inconvenient.Therefore, Mother Lin still wants to settle this matter quickly.

Shen Yulan nodded, "It's about time. In addition, I want to ask Mrs. Guangwuhou to help me find some smart girls. To be honest, among the four girls, except Huoxiang, the others... Although Du Ruo She is good at needlework, but how can her temperament be suitable for being a big girl? Pinellia is too impetuous. Zisu...is not suitable." Not only is the person unsuitable, but the conditions are also unsuitable.Zisu's family has already got a good job.If Zisu became a big girl again, it would be easy for people to gossip.

Mother Lin pondered for a moment: "So Missy means to promote Huoxiang? As for the other one, find another one from outside?"

"Well, that's the plan. It's Huoxiang—" Shen Yulan hesitated: "I'm afraid she's too smart."

"There are always two sides to everything. Just take it with you. If the eldest lady is at ease, I will teach you." Mother Lin hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to take the matter.

Shen Yulan was overjoyed: "That's great." As long as Lin's mother is willing to teach, then it will definitely not be bad.

That's how things settled down.However, Shen Yulan didn't intend to directly make the decision on her own, and still let a few girls vote on their own as said before, to see if a big girl could be elected.

Four people, four tickets.The result was quite unexpected.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be two sheets of perilla and two sheets of Huoxiang.

Shen Yulan spread out all four ballot papers, put them in front of the four maids, and said with a smile, "What should we do now? The two votes are the same, which one should we choose?"

Du Ruo and Pinellia, one chose Huoxiang and the other Perilla.As for Zisu and Huoxiang, they voted for each other respectively.

At this time, the four maids looked at each other in blank dismay, and they seemed to be at a loss—it seemed that they didn't realize it, but in fact, it might not be possible for both of them to be big maids.

However, some people really didn't react, but some people just pretended to be stupid.For example, Huoxiang -- just looking at her in a daze, her eyes flickering slightly, it is not difficult to see that she may have already reacted.

But on Huoxiang's face, she still pretended not to know anything, and even spoke first: "Let Sister Zisu do it. After all, Sister Zisu is older and considers things more thoughtfully than me. I How can I be a big girl?" The tone was very modest.

Shen Yulan just smiled slightly.

Zisu blushed when she heard this, and waved her hands again and again: "How can this be done? I can't do it. Huoxiang can do it. Huoxiang is more capable than me. The big girl should let her do it."

Shen Yulan still smiled and said nothing.His eyes turned to the other two.

Du Ruo thought for a while, and said, "Then the eldest lady will decide? Anyway, I can't make it."

Ban Xia insisted on her vote: "Sister Zisu is self-effacing, but I still think Sister Zisu is more suitable."

Shen Yulan thought for a while, then pointed at Huoxiang with a smile: "Zisu, your temper is too soft, let's go with Huoxiang. If you are in charge of others, you can't be too soft-hearted. Otherwise, you will be under control. Who am I going to rely on?"

Although Shen Yulan said these words in a joking tone, no one could say anything to refute them - after all, this is obvious to all.Zisu's temperament is indeed too soft.If she made a mistake and begged her a few words, her heart softened.There are many careless girls who come and go, but make mistakes.

Huoxiang is different - when it's Huoxiangguan's turn, all the little girls are all in high spirits, lest they make a mistake.

From Shen Yulan's point of view, it is natural that a big girl like Huoxiang is better.But from the girl's point of view...I'm afraid Zisu's is better?

Naturally, no one dared to say anything about Shen Yulan's decision - so the matter was settled like this.It's just that Shen Yulan seemed a little unconvinced when he looked at Banxia like that.I don't pay attention to it at the moment, just pretend I didn't see it.

Regarding the matter of the big girl, Shen Yulan specially reported to Guo Shi in front of Shen Junzhi during dinner: "Madam, I saw that Huoxiang in my room was pretty good, so I wondered if I should promote her to be a big girl? "

Guo's face froze, and before he could speak, Shen Junzhi answered: "Huoxiang? I just bought it at that time? Could it be that I'm younger? I just entered the mansion not long ago."

Shen Yulan just smiled: "It's not too young, fourteen. And although she is younger, she is very capable. I let her try to be a big girl for a while before, and she didn't make any mistakes. What's wrong. It's done very well. So I thought, just let her be a big girl. It also saves my wife from bothering to pick someone. "

After hearing these words, a trace of thought flashed across his solemn face.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said, "It doesn't take much trouble to pick two girls, so why bother?"

Shen Yulan smiled and said: "My wife loves me, I know, but choosing a girl is not an easy task, and after adding someone in, you may not be able to get acquainted immediately. Therefore, instead of spending time choosing, it is better to use The old people in the house. One is about grooming, and the other is that I can know their temperament and character myself."

Shen Junzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's exactly what Yulan said. Yulan makes sense. If that's the case, then let that girl try it. If it doesn't work, change it."

When Guo Shi retorted, he immediately choked in his throat.However, Mrs. Guo didn't get annoyed any more, instead she nodded with a smile: "Master said yes. However, Yulan is still short of two maids in your room, and you still have to match them."

Shen Yulan just smiled and agreed, and followed Guo Shi's words: "Madam is right. Why don't we just call the matchmaker in and pick two?" These words came naturally, without any calculation in them.

However, Mrs. Guo was cut off again.According to Guo's intention, the girl can just choose from among the children at home, but Shen Yulan said that she wants to buy it from outside.

Guo Shi just felt unhappy - she was used to everything going well, but now everything is not going well, and naturally, her temper became more and more irritable.At the moment, he could hardly restrain himself: "How can girls bought from outside compare to those born at home? Those girls outside, how do you know where the pickled goods come from?"

Shen Yulan's heart skipped a beat -- he couldn't help but look at Mrs. Guo twice more.

Perhaps, Guo's objection to buying girls from outside is not just because he wants to install people in her yard?
After pondering for a moment, Shen Yulan lowered her head and made a concession: "Everything is according to my wife's arrangement."

Guo Shi was taken aback for a moment - Xu did not expect Shen Yulan to be so talkative.Concessions were made so easily.For a while, the huge gap made Mrs. Guo even more irritable.

But Shen Yulan took a step back, no matter how angry Guo was, he could only endure it.

After Shen Yulan watched, she felt that Guo Shi's face was turning green with anger.Then he smiled and said, "If you keep talking like this, the food is going to be cold." Looking at Shen Yushan again, "Why doesn't my sister eat more? I remember that you like this chicken foot."

As he spoke, he pinched a phoenix claw for Shen Yushan.

Shen Yushan avoided it with a bowl in her hand, then raised her head and smiled brightly: "No need, sister, I don't eat this anymore. You can eat it yourself."

Shen Yulan naturally knew that Shen Yushan was deliberately making herself look bad - otherwise, even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't have to avoid it like this, right?

At the moment, he didn't feel embarrassed, and after a slight smile, the chicken feet fell into Shen Junzhi's bowl: "Try it, Dad."

Shen Junzhi smiled cheerfully: "Okay, you're still filial."

Shen Yulan lowered her eyes slightly, looking shy.It's just that it's actually a snicker - Shen Junzhi clearly has a purpose in saying this.

Sure enough, then I saw Shen Yushan holding a piece of crystal elbow and putting it into Shen Junzhi's bowl with a smile: "Didn't dad like to eat elbow? Why don't you eat it today? Also, is it true that only my sister is filial and I am not filial?" ?”

Shen Yulan felt that——Shen Yushan acted like a baby, it was really hard for people to be angry with her any longer.However, it would be more perfect if there was no furtive demonstration to glance at her.

So a turmoil passed like this - but Shen Junzhi finally said to Guo Shi after Shen Yulan left: "The children of those families are all born with you. When Yulan gets married, they will have to leave." Follow me. But if you follow me, wouldn’t it be a separation of flesh and blood? Let me tell you, let’s leave it to Yushan. There are more than a dozen girls from other people’s families, and our family only has two girls. Can’t we still afford girls? ? Your good ones, leave them to Yushan, Yushan's temper, you must keep reliable people by her side to serve. Otherwise, how can we rest assured?"

Now Shen Junzhi is as strict as before.He had a thorough understanding of Guo Shi's temper, and these words almost reached Guo Shi's heart - no matter how important other things were, they couldn't compare to Shen Yushan.

Guo Shi was still annoyed at first, but now she was calmed down by Shen Junzhi's soft words.Thinking about it carefully, I even felt that it was really the case - if I had that spare time to put someone beside Shen Yulan, it would be better to teach Shen Yushan well.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Guo turned the corner, but was reluctant to give the family's child to Shen Yulan.Guo felt that for a lowly country girl like Shen Yulan, she could be matched with two girls at will, so why bother?Those clever and well-behaved ones should be left to Shen Yushan.Only then did she not disgrace the identity of the lady of the general's mansion.

But it's one thing to be unwilling in your heart, but on the surface, Guo is unwilling to ruin the image of a good wife and mother, and immediately rolled a serious look, and said angrily: "Isn't it you? You always ask me to take Yulan Treat her as her own. Am I not thinking of her? Look, she doesn't understand my painstaking efforts, she just thinks I'm trying to harm her." Thinking of Shen Yulan's previous words, Guo Shi felt that her heart was blocked for a while. Panic, I feel unhappy if I don't say something.
