Chapter 71 Dowry, Two Delicate Maids

Xin Ruo's wedding date was set, and the mansion began to arrange Xin Ruo's marriage in a hurry. Xin Ruo herself also stayed in the yard every day to make dowry, and even the third aunt only took an hour a day to relax. .

All kinds of complaints in my heart, why do I have to embroider by myself, why can’t I buy ready-made ones, she is a modern person, and she doesn’t pay so much attention.

Are there any of these pillowcases in the palace? Could it be that in the bridal chamber, she has to put on the pillowcase she made before going to bed? It’s really pedantic, and she dare not complain, otherwise if it spreads, she will have to copy the women’s ring again.

When the eldest lady heard that Xin Ruo's wedding date had been set, she was very angry, thinking that the dowry prepared for her last time was all given to Xin Rou, and she is a concubine, so why can she marry Xin Yu and Xin Rou? The dowry is average, so they secretly make trouble.

The person in charge fell ill today, and the person in charge fell ill tomorrow, so he insisted on messing up Xin Ruo's dowry. Later, the old lady got angry and ordered the embroidery workshop to process it day and night.

Zhao's mother embroidered a pair of mandarin duck pillowcases for Xin Ruo, and the third aunt also prepared two sets of clothes for Xin Ruo, and also gave Xin Ruo some bank notes, but Xin Ruo immediately refused.

She was not short of money, so why did she need San Yiniang, instead she gave her 1000 taels of silver, San Yiniang was really helpless, so she had to go outside and buy two pairs of jewelry for Xin Ruo.

Molan Zilan also prepared the dowry according to Xin Ruo's instructions, and only went to Banyuefang every four or five days. Fortunately, Xiaoyun had prepared in advance, so there was no need to waste much time.

Everything is worthy of joy, except for one thing, that is, the eldest lady sent two dowry maids, one named Ruqing and the other named Shen Yan, they were beautiful, pink, white and green, lovely and charming.

The person was delivered, but the deed of sale was still in the hands of the eldest lady, her purpose was self-evident, she just didn't want to see Xin Ruo feel better, but Xin Ruo couldn't even refuse.

Even if I went to the old lady to ask for two maidservants to replace her, it would not work. Whoever made Mo Lan Zilan younger than her, Nan'er Beier was even younger, so I'm afraid it won't work to be used as a housekeeper.

Besides, Xin Yu has two spare concubines, and Xin Rou also has two, why doesn't Da Furen prepare two for her, and choose the most beautiful one for her.

Xin Ruo was speechless, she hadn't passed the door yet, so she was thinking of recruiting a concubine for him, and she was preparing for it in an open and honest manner, and it was for her own good, so she couldn't ignore the flattery.

Whoever makes parents here will prepare two good maids for their daughters to be concubines, lest they will not be favored in the future and be bullied by those unfamiliar concubines, just like Yuan Xinyu, Xin Ruo is speechless , looking up at the sky.

So, when Zhang's mother came with someone that day, Xin Ruo accepted it with a smile, and said respectfully when she went to Da Furen's place to say hello the next day.

"Yesterday, my mother sent two dowry maids to Xin Ruo. Xin Ruo was so happy that she forgot to ask Mama Zhang for their deeds of sale. She thought she would come to Mama Zhang to ask for them.

But he was busy with the work at hand, that's why he delayed until now, in fact, if it doesn't matter whether they want to sell Qi Xin or not, the people sent by their mother must be polite and sensible.

It was only a few days ago that the old lady asked Xin Ruo to count all the dowry in detail, so as not to make any mistakes and lose the face of Yuan Mansion in the palace. Go back to what the old lady said. "

When the Da Furen heard this, her expression became a little uneasy, she said it was a dowry, if there was no deed of sale, she would still be a girl of the Yuan Mansion, and if something went wrong when she was sent to the Funing Palace, it would be her fault.

Not to mention, she couldn't escape even the old lady's test, so she scolded Zhang's mother and said, "You are also an old man in the house, and you can't handle such a trivial matter."

Zhang's mother hurriedly nodded to admit her mistake, "It was the servant who was negligent for a while, so I went to get their contract of sale."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the Da Furen's room. Xin Ruo didn't care, it was all expected. Seeing Da Furen's chest is full, those two maids might have something to do with the doctor. in human hands.

It seems that they will add a lot of troubles in the future, and they will cause trouble if they are uncomfortable in the future.

Relying on the Da Furen's backing, the two maids snatched Mo Lan Zi Lan's job as soon as they arrived at Xin Ruo Courtyard.

Xin Ruo didn't mind either, and smiled immediately, "The two elder sisters were sent to me by my mother, so I naturally have to be a maid. Lan's work will be taken over by two older sisters."

Ruqing and Shen Yan immediately agreed happily, but Mo Lan and Zi Lan over there brought embroidery baskets and thanked them with a smile, "We each have to embroider ten purses every day, this is needlework." and cloth, please trouble the two sisters."

Xin Ruo shook her head secretly when she heard this, the two of them said that the purses they had prepared were probably not enough, now someone will help them fulfill their wish.

Either way, since they are rushing to do it, she is naturally happy, so that Molan Zilan can go outside to do some good work. This is the last time that Banyuefang will open.

Ruqing and Shen Yan's faces immediately turned down, and they didn't pick up the embroidery basket. Xin Ruo asked while drinking tea, "But it's too much work. Nan'er and Bei'er only need to sweep the fallen leaf embroidery once a day." Two handkerchiefs are enough, do you two want to do that job?"

Think, but they also want to serve close to them, and take the monthly order of the big maid, so that they can still be close to the water in the future.

The two looked at each other, and said to Mo Lan and Zi Lan, "The two sisters have served the third girl for many years. Although we are sent by the eldest lady, we are not as good as the two sisters. We dare not rob the two sisters." Location."

She didn't dare to say it, but she put it into action. Mo Lan Zilan didn't say anything, and turned around and brought another embroidered basket.

She said with a smile, "The second-class maid can embroider six purses a day. This was originally prepared for us, but now I'll leave it to the two of you. It's getting late today, so you only need to embroider three. "

Ruqing and Shen Yan had no choice but to carry the embroidered baskets, and leaned over to Xin Ruofu, Xin Ruo waved them down, and as soon as they left, Mo Lan Zilan bent down and laughed, "Hmph, they thought the eldest maid of the third girl was So well done."

Su's mother shook her head and said, "Is it easy to take it? Let's see how you take out ten purses tomorrow. The two of them are not easy to fool."

Zilan pursed her mouth, she spoke too much, with her skill, she can't embroider ten purses even if she doesn't sleep in one day, she must have a hard face.

Xin Ruo shook her head and sighed, "Tomorrow, when you two leave the house, what should you do? As for purses, how many are there on the street?"

Molan Zilan's eyes lit up when she heard this, the third girl was giving them advice, she thought for a while and said, "Do you need to buy more spices, put them in your purse, and reward the servants later?"

Xin Ruo shook her head and said, "That's too eye-catching, and I still use small pieces of silver as rewards. The old lady has already asked someone to prepare a box, and I will pack it when needed."

In the next few days, Molan and Zilan went out every day, Ruqing and Shen Yan thought about it, and regretted not agreeing to be maids, Xin Ruo also indulged them and didn't let them do much work.

In fact, there was not much work in her yard, the two of them embroidered purses in the house, and delivered the purses to Xin Ruo early every day, and then Yang Yang wanted to see the purses embroidered by Mo Lan and Zi Lan.

The two of them were not at home, but they came back with ten purses. It's no wonder that there is nothing tricky, Ruqing held the purses and said calmly, "Didn't the maid want to embroider ten purses? This is not your craft. You two today Where did you go?"

Zilan took the purse in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's true that we didn't embroider it. Miss San asked us to go shopping in Banyuefang. I bought this purse out of my own pocket, and it's no worse than the one I embroidered by myself."

Ruqing bit her lips and said, "It's been several days since you went there, and you haven't seen you come back with anything to buy. The third girl ordered you to do something, but you are lazy."

"Haven't the two sisters heard about the rules of doing business in Banyuefang? We met the guys in Banyuefang because we often bought creams.

Banyuefang promised the two of us to help out for a few days, and then they would give us ten boxes of creams, which can't be bought with money, and in the future, taking them to the palace as gifts, isn't it better than a purse? "Zi Lan asked with a smile.

Today, she found someone following them. Although she was very careful, she was sure it was one of them.

So on the way back, the two discussed how to overshadow this matter, and told them straightforwardly that they had gone to Banyuefang to help, which was completely reasonable, and they were justified even if the trouble was brought to Da Furen's place.

Over there, when Mother Su left the house, she saw a few people standing facing each other, she couldn't help but frowned, and reprimanded Mo Lan and Zi Lan, "Is there any more rules, shouting loudly, the girl has been embroidering for a day to get married." I just squinted for a while before I was woken up by you."

Mo Lan and Zi Lan immediately lowered their heads to admit their mistakes, but Ru Qing and Shen Yan held their heads high, they were sent by the Da Furen, even if Mother Su wanted to reprimand them, it would still depend on the Da Madam's face.

Just when she was proud, she heard Su's mother reprimand, "Although you two were sent by the eldest lady, but since you are sent to the third girl, you are the people in this courtyard, and you have to obey the rules.

Mo Lan and Zi Lan are big maidservants, do I still need to report to you when I go out to do business in the house? Whether you are the master or the third girl is the master, the eldest lady sent it because she said you are polite and sensible.

If the third girl finds out that you all lied to the eldest lady before, pretending to be cute, and the third girl is filial, she will definitely not let you off lightly. "

Ruqing and Shen Yan immediately lowered their heads, bit their lips to admit their mistake, and promised not to do it again next time.

As soon as Mother Su left, malice flashed in her eyes. Before she came, the eldest lady had clearly stated that they were going to be concubines for the eldest son, and they dared to show them face. In the future, you will look good.

Xin Ruo was by the window and happened to see the expressions of the two of them. It seemed that Mother Su's reprimand had no effect at all. She didn't send two maids here, but two masters.

Xin Ruo sneered, she was not even married yet, so she acted like an aunt for her, let you dance around for two days first, and then deal with you later.
