The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 207 Xiao Nan Butler ([-])

In the early morning, after the dawn drum, Xiao Nan and Cui Youbo got up.

Today is Cui Ba's first day to go to the yamen, so Xiao Nan was extraordinarily solemn, and personally helped Cui Ba change into a brand new official uniform, and helped him put on jade pendants and other things, and walked around Cui Ba twice. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he personally sent him out of the Weirui Courtyard.

Originally, Cui Ba wanted to say hello to the old lady, and told the old man by the way that her grandson, Cui Ba's children's shoes, had been an official since today.

It's just that as the old lady grows older, the time of dozing off is getting longer and longer, and the old man can't get up in the morning at all. For this reason, Mother Qiu, who is beside the old lady, specially sent a message, telling Cui Ba to just go to the Yamen instead of coming to the main office. Courtyard please.

Having said that, but today is a special day, Cui Ba came to the door of the old lady's dormitory in the main courtyard, saluted in a proper manner, and then accompanied by Xiao Nan to the atrium.

In the central courtyard, Cui Ba's two servants and two attendants had already made preparations, and the four of them also changed into brand new clothes, waiting for the arrival of their master in high spirits.

Xiao Nan gave Cui Ba a few more words, and then watched the five of them leave.

"Princess, Hanmo really has some skills. As soon as he returns to Lang Jun's side, he can go out with Lang Jun."

Yuzan saw a very familiar person among the two young servants, and when Cui Ba and his party left, she approached Xiao Nan and whispered in Xiao Nan's ear.

"Well, he was originally someone who was needed by Langjun's side. At the beginning, Langjun agreed to transfer Hanmo to appease me. After all, Hanmo helped Ajin to deliver news, which violated the Cui family's rules. Although I didn't say it clearly, But with Lang Jun's intelligence, he should have guessed it."

Xiao Nan is not at all surprised that Hanmo can quickly gain Cui Ba's favor in a short period of time.As for Cui Ba, at best he is emotional, at worst he has soft ears and can't hear anything good. If Cui Ba hadn't had this temperament, A Jin would not have been so mad in the inner court for so long.

After sending Cui Ba away, Xiao Nan didn't go back directly to Weirui Courtyard, but walked to the big kitchen of Rongshou Hall.

"Ouch, my lady, why did you come to the kitchen? There is a lot of fire and smoke here, what should I do if I bump into you..."

As soon as Xiao Nan entered the kitchen, a fat woman around 35 or six years old greeted her. Xiao Nan recognized her. She was the steward of the kitchen. Her husband's family name was Sun, and people called her Mrs. Sun.

Back when he was raising babies in Rongshoutang, Xiao Nan ordered someone to inquire about the situation of the women in charge here——

Mama Qiu and Mama Qian beside the old lady were her former personal maids, and later the old lady decided to marry them to the steward of Rongshou Hall.Mama Qiu's husband is named Tie Mingzhu, who is in charge of purchasing for Rongshou Hall; Mama Qian is married to the chief housekeeper, Cui Yi.

This Cui Yi is not very old, only in his early 50s, but his father and grandfather are deeply trusted by the old lady and old man.

It is said that when the old lady left the family with her two younger brothers, there were only a dozen or so old servants around her. Cui Yi's grandfather Cui Gui was one of them. Cui Sanniang's father and grandfather valued her quite a lot.

Cui Yi's father and grandfather were so highly regarded by the Cui family, he and his brothers did not give up. Cui Yi's elder brother Cui Zhong was the steward of Rongkang Hall, and Cui Ren's third brother was the steward of Rong An Hall.

From these things, it can be seen that Cui Ren's family is the hardcore servants of the Cui family, and they are also a family of housekeepers that have been passed down for several lifetimes.

These are the two most powerful servants in Rongkang Hall.

In addition, Lady Ma is in charge of the sewing room, Lady Ma is in charge of the sewing room, Lady Qi is in charge of the greenhouse and the forest, Lady Zhu is in charge of the warehouse, and Cui Yi’s youngest son Cui Yi is in charge of the concierge and affairs office. Shan, the second housekeeper in charge of the atrium is Zhou Hu.

These people were either from the old lady's personal maids, or the descendants of the old servants of the Cui family, basically all of them are the old lady's confidantes.

As soon as the news of Cui Ba's adoption of the old lady was confirmed, Qin's mother found Haitong, asked for the detailed information of these people, and analyzed them one by one with Xiao Nan.

The final conclusion is that Xiao Nan wants to completely take over the Rongshou Hall in the future, and the errands of these people must be carefully considered. It cannot be said that they should all be replaced by their own people, at least they must occupy the most important positions.

Xiao Nan didn't pay much attention to this, because she was the adopted grandson's daughter-in-law, and she meddled in the internal affairs as soon as she entered the house. It was not good to spread the word, and in the words of later generations of officials, it was called 'too ugly to eat'.

Secondly, although the old lady is old, she is still in good health. As far as her physical condition is concerned, as long as there is no emergency, she will be fine within three to five years.And during this period of time, Xiao Nan is confident that he will slowly mix sand in the Rongshou Hall, and slowly install his own people into the main positions without showing any signs of showing.

Now, she is new here, she should be a good grandson-in-law and not directly take over the internal affairs of Rongshou Hall.

However, the servants of Rongshoutang didn't think so. At least the cooks in the kitchen were beating their hearts when they saw Xiao Nan—this lady of the princess just came to take care of the kitchen after cleaning the house? !
Madam Sun was even more disturbed. She had served Xiao Nan for a few months, and she had also seen Yulian who was good at cooking beside Xiao Nan. Ever since she knew that the future owner of Rongshou Hall was Xiao Nan, she had been worried about Xiao Nan. I will take her down and replace her with that Yulian.

In the past few days, Mrs. Sun has given gifts to Mama Qian's several dignified families, especially Mama Qian and Mama Qiu. These two are the old lady's loyal confidants. All of them were given to these two... But, these two old guys, after receiving the gift, they didn't have an accurate word, just let her do her job well, and don't contradict the lady of the princess.

contradict?She contradicts a P, how could she have the courage to contradict, it's too late to flatter.

Knowing that the two old guys are so worthless, she gave the gift to the two mothers next to the princess.

Alas, I made a wrong step, no, the princess just cleaned up the house, and came to clean her up at the first stop.

"What are you preparing for today's meal?"

Xiao Nan didn't know what the chubby steward with a greasy face in front of her was thinking, she casually looked at the stove and the boiling soup in the pot, and asked casually.

"I want my lady to know that today I have Poria cocos stewed goat's milk that the old lady likes, there is rice and chicken soup that you like, lady, and orange custard for the little lady..."

A short and fat woman standing in front of the stove wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, nervously talking about the small dishes, pasta and soup prepared today.

Xiao Nan saw that the woman was thick and strong, but she seemed to be quite agile, so she nodded in satisfaction: "Well, go ahead, grandma will get up later, don't delay her meal at the old man's house."

The short and fat woman nodded her head, "Yes, yes, I understand!"

In order to show that she was not lazy, the short and fat woman, as well as the cooks and fire girls around her, were also busy, uncovering pots, adding water, and adding firewood. Jingle.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan didn't stay long. It's June, and the weather is very hot. Although it's early in the morning, standing in front of the burning stove, even if she didn't do anything, she was sweating profusely.

Lady Sun followed Xiao Nan all the time, and carefully sent her out of the kitchen.

Xiao Nan's figure had just disappeared when Zhou Hu's second wife, Mrs. Zhou, walked over and saw Mrs. Sun leaning against the kitchen door, looking stupidly at the main courtyard. She couldn't help but wondered, "The Sun family's , you are not busy with errands early in the morning, what are you looking at stupidly?"

When Mrs. Sun heard the words, she suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing that the visitor was not an outsider, she dragged Mrs. Zhou into the kitchen, and ordered the cook to bring a bowl of steaming snow fungus red date tea soup, which she carefully served to Mrs. Zhou. "Taste it quickly, this is the new snow fungus that the palace rewards, it is the most nourishing."

Mrs. Zhou didn't pick it up, and motioned her to put it aside, and fanned it with her hands, "It's a hot day, how can I drink this hot tea soup, sister-in-law, let's put it aside."

Lady Sun put the porcelain bowl aside obediently, and said with a flattering smile, "I heard that Sister-in-law Zhou's second boy was chosen by Da Langjun (referring to Uncle Cui) to be a servant? You are respectable, Mr. Lang is the heart and soul of our ancestors, and your Erlang will follow Mr. Da Lang, and his future future will not be wrong."

Mrs. Zhou was proud of herself, but she said modest words, "...It is also the grace of our ancestors, we slaves, we can only do errands for our ancestors well..."

Mrs. Sun talked a lot of compliments, but at the end she changed the subject and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Zhou, did you see the lady just now? Tell me, is the lady going to take over the midwife of Rongshou Hall?"

Mrs. Zhou's triangular eyes glanced around. This is a compartment in the big kitchen, where all the cooks eat and rest. At the moment, everyone is busy in the kitchen, and there are only her and Mrs. Sun in the compartment. .

Seeing that there was no outsider, Mrs. Zhou let go of her courage and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say, the master just didn't care about things when he was there, let's say that during the Lantern Festival this year, Lian Sanshao The wife has come out to help, but she still stays in the yard and doesn't show her face... My family also said that the wife is the princess, and she has never cared about things since she was a child. She married into our Cui family, and she is in her own yard. Everything is left to the two nurses and the four big maids... In my opinion, the lady may not be willing to take care of the house when she comes here."

Mrs. Sun pinched her teeth and asked puzzledly: "Then she came to the kitchen today to intervene in internal affairs?"

The corners of Mrs. Zhou's mouth pulled down, revealing an inscrutable expression, "Probably not, but Mrs. Sun, you'd better be careful. There are a few capable maids around the lady."

After saying some vague words, Mrs. Zhou also showed that she had finished showing off. She drank the half-warm tea soup in one gulp, wiped the water stains around her mouth, and said, "It's been hot these days, and my eldest grandson can't eat. I heard you I made custard today, and the little lady doesn’t need much, so bring some back for me!” This was the main purpose of her trip.

Madam Sun hated it in her heart, but on the surface she put on a look of great joy, and quickly asked the cook to take four steaming oranges, put them in a food box, and asked Madam Zhou to take them away.

Half an hour later, the old lady got up, Xiao Nan brought his daughter to the main hall to pay his respects, and accompanied the old lady for breakfast.

As soon as he picked up the silver chopsticks, someone from outside came to report, "Lady, madam, Princess Nanping and Mr. Da Lang have come to greet the old lady..."
