Daughter's Survival Manual

Chapter 74 Self-knowledge
After reporting to Mrs. Zou and Zou Sui, Han Yuexia sent Mama Ye, who was serving in the front yard, to inform the matchmaker that she wanted to buy a few maids and put them in the backyard that afternoon.The words were scattered quickly, and it didn't take long before it reached Wen Shuangyi's ears.When Wen Shuangyi heard this, she became furious, "That uneasy and kind bitch! You clearly agreed to let someone pick someone in the Hou's mansion, and let the matchmaker lead him as soon as you turned around. What kind of idea is this! And fool me again and again, bullying me so I can talk?!" Wen Shuang was so angry that his lips were trembling, his flowery lips opened and closed, looking in the eyes of Xu's mother, he was very frightened.

Mother Xu turned her feet and turned around the door and window. Seeing that no one was watching, she hurriedly turned to comfort her: "It's just picking two servants, it's worth your anger, little lady. If you don't want to , this old slave has a lot of ways to keep those people who are obstructive from getting close. Don’t be angry, little lady, you must never say what you just said in front of others.”

"...Sister, don't nag any more. I have heard these words dozens of times, and my ears are calloused. I know that the Hou's Mansion is no better than my home, and my mother didn't come into the mansion with me. Yes. That Han Yuexia can bear it if she can bear it. My mother also taught me that if I can't bear it, I will make troubles and make big plans. I have taken your words to heart." Wen Shuangyi pouted, "Look at her crazy appearance. , I am really troubled. When it comes to appearance, talent, upbringing and manners, how can I be worse than her? Every day I put the rules of the lady of the Marquis Mansion in front of me. She is also the daughter of my father. In what way is she better than me? How can it be worth her being so arrogant? If, if father recognizes me, I will also be the master of this Hou's mansion!"

Wen Shuangyi said so, but also thought so in his heart.Zou Sui loved and doted on Wen Shuangyi in the past, but in Wen Shuangyi's view, since she is Zou Sui's direct daughter, it is only a matter of saying a word.If it weren't for the hindrance of mourning, where would he feel wronged?Wen Shuangyi felt unhappy, flicked his sleeve on the table, and immediately brushed the mahogany carved wooden shelf standing on the table to the ground.The wooden frame is not heavy, and when it falls on the ground, it makes a "click" and quickly silences the sound.Wen Shuangyi subconsciously turned her gaze to the wooden shelf, and then to her pale pink sleeve.

Wen Shuangyi immediately thought of the cloth in Mrs. Zou's mouth, and with what she said just now, she became even more annoyed, and her subordinates became ruthless, as if she was about to tear off her robe, "It's not my mother who died. Want me to wear plain clothes?! If you know it, you will praise me, but if you don’t know it, you will think something big happened to my family!"

"Little lady, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Mama said with a stern face, "How did the master explain you to my lady in the past? If you can't even bear this point of anger, how will you live a happy life in the future? Could it be little lady Do you want to be subordinate to others for the rest of your life?!"

Wen Shuangyi's eyes were red, and the anger in her heart subsided, but she felt more and more wronged, "Nurse, I feel uncomfortable living in this mansion. My sister is very mean-spirited, don't let her treat me My younger sister is taller than my younger sister, but she doesn't care about me at all. My grandmother doesn't care about me at all, mother, I..." Crystal clear teardrops rolled out of the eye sockets, hanging on the Wen Shuangyi's white and tender face looked so pitiful.Mother Xu's heart softened, she couldn't help but stepped forward to hug Wen Shuangyi, coaxing her softly.

What happened to Wen Shuangyi's side, Han Yuexia didn't know, he was either at Zou Sui's place all day today, or he was talking with Madam Zou, he couldn't be sloppy anywhere.When Han Yuexia returned to her yard, she was already too tired to speak, and the people around her noticed that they were serving her more carefully.After a while, Han Yuexia was being waited upon to wash up and rest.That night, Han Yuexia rarely went to bed early, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep without a dream.

On the second day, Han Yuexia had breakfast, and Ban Xia opened the curtain and said: "Little lady, the people from the tooth shop have already arrived, and now I am waiting for the little lady to speak by the corner door of the back door."

When Han Yue heard this, she was about to get up, and after thinking about it, she said to Hongxiu, "The reason why I bought someone today is for my good sister. Go and ask someone to tell her. If you are still undecided, I can't help you." Send it to her."

A smile flashed in Hongxiu's eyes, and she answered neatly, closing the curtain and turning out.Although the Daqing Dynasty said that the folk customs were open, there was no reason to lead the people from the dental shop into the little lady's courtyard.Han Yuexia thought for a while, and then asked someone to lead the matchmaker to the Nuan Pavilion in the backyard.The Nuan Pavilion is in the corner of the garden, quite close to the corner gate of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and not far away is the kitchen of the mansion, so it is considered a cheap location.When Forsythia followed Han Yuexia to the Nuan Pavilion, Mother Ye had been waiting here for a long time. When Han Yuexia saw her, she nodded with a smile.

"Old slave, please greet the little lady!" Mother Ye also loves Han Yuexia, and now seeing that the little lady is still a child, but she has to sit on a chair in a well-behaved manner and deal with chores in the backyard like an adult, Mother Ye There is also a little pity in my heart.It was only now that Han Yue was able to see Mother Ye clearly.Mother Ye is thin, and there are a lot of silver strands in her hair, but her eyes are very sharp, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth make her look much younger than her actual age.

Before Mama Ye could finish her salute, Han Yuexia quickly asked the people around her to yell, "I'm only young, and although it's a rule in the house, if Mama did the whole salute, wouldn't it be a shame for me?" Mama Ye Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face, "The young lady is sympathetic to the old slave, how dare the old slave belittle himself and break the rules? Yesterday, the old slave was ordered to send people to the tooth shop, and the toothmaid brought a total of 50 people into the mansion today. Little lady, can you ask someone to prepare some tea and pastries, and take a closer look?"

Han Yuexia nodded, but she was planning in her heart. Although she didn't want to see Wen Shuangyi, according to the example in the mansion, Wen Shuangyi's yard even included the first-class maid Sao Sapo, so she wanted to make up for it. 17 people will do.Although she coaxed Wen Shuangyi to pick people in the mansion, how could Wen Shuangyi go all the people Wen Wan placed?

Just as she was thinking about it, Fu Ling brought some snacks and placed them beside Han Yuexia.Han Yuexia didn't take a few sips of snacks, and asked Mother Ye to order the matchmaker to bring those people over after a sip of tea.Even though she was in the Nuan Pavilion in the mansion, Lianqiao made people put down a bead curtain in front of the Nuan Pavilion.This didn't really block anything, but Lian Qiao's being so cautious was not a bad thing.The maids and mothers-in-law waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion stepped forward in batches for Han Yuexia to choose.There were too many people coming, and the outside of the Nuan Pavilion was not very quiet, there were little sounds like cat meowing.

Han Yuexia only looked at the first two, and frowned.With just one sentence, Mama Ye and Forsythia were given the work of picking people.Lian Qiao said yes, but she wondered about Han Yuexia's intentions in her heart.But Mother Ye was full of astonishment, she didn't say a word for a long time, and even forgot to reply.

Han Yuexia laughed when she saw her, "Who is my mother? I'm afraid I have eaten more salt than I have eaten rice. I can trust my mother's vision. Just choose with confidence. If you choose well, you will be rewarded." , the choice is not good, can I blame my mother for not making it?" Han Yuexia's tone sounded coquettish.Mother Ye smiled at this moment, nodded and agreed.

Mama Ye was quick in her hands and feet, and in a short while outside the warm pavilion, she divided the people into five groups, one group of ten, separated from Forsythia one by one.Lian Qiao saw that immature face from this immature face, and after a group, she didn't say a word.Mother Ye also dealt with Lianqiao in the past. Seeing Lianqiao's appearance, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, does any one of the ten suit you?"

Lian Qiao shook her head, "Young lady sent someone to find a matchmaker. She originally chose a maid for the lady next to the old lady. That lady is not as old as ours, so I want to find someone who is steady and not too talkative. Just wait by your side."

Mother Ye fell silent as soon as she heard it. She also met Wen Shuangyi.It's just a little lady outside the mansion, as long as the servants are capable, how can there be so many conditions?As for Wen Shuangyi, Lianqiao couldn't tell Mama Ye no matter how much she had to say in her heart. Seeing Mama Ye's face sinking, she could only say vaguely: "But even if you don't have the three things, it's okay, little one." The most important thing for a lady is to have self-knowledge."

After saying that, Lianqiao and Mother Ye looked at each other again.Fifty people watched, not to mention whether Lianqiaoye's mother was tired or not, but Han Yuexia in the Nuan Pavilion got a headache from waiting.According to her opinion, Wen Shuangyi can't pick good ones, but Wen Shuangyi can't pick too unappreciative ones. As long as she has a firm mind and understands whose own future is in the hands of her, Wen Shuangyi won't let Wen Shuangyi choose her. Yi mother and daughter win over easily, that's all.

But if it is such a simple requirement, there are not many people who meet the requirements.Han Yuexia knew it in her heart, so even though her lower body was sore from sitting, she didn't say a word of impatience to Fuling and the others.Fifty people came down, Lianqiao didn't like any of them, but Mother Ye liked those two, she was quick in her hands and feet, and she was not much talkative, but she was an older one, she looked like a housekeeper The people on Zisao are almost the same.

Forsythia pulled Mama Ye and said to call a few more dentists to take a look. The toothmaid who had been waiting silently couldn't hold back any longer. She looked anxious and stopped Mama Ye and Lianqiao from saying "Girl, mom, I didn't like these people, so I'll pick a few more people. I heard the news from the Hou Mansion yesterday that the people I brought didn't have more than two hundred people, so I can make the girl and mom look at them more." Tell the time. There are so many people to choose from, and there are always one, two, three or four people who are satisfied with the family. Shall I go and get it for the family?"

The matchmaker doesn't want to give up such a big deal, so she pulls on Lianqiao and Mother Ye.After so many things, Mother Ye became angry immediately, "Grandma, what do you mean? The dozens of feelings you showed us are not good? Or are they used to fool me, an old woman? !"
