Chapter 658 Contest ([-])

The carriage slowly entered through the side door, and when it came to the courtyard, the rough envoy asked Wu Wuniang to get off the carriage.

Wu Wuniang lived in Cui's house before, so she knew some rules about entering the house.

For example, when getting off the carriage, the Cui family will have a special car or a shoulder car to pick them up. The inner courtyard of the Cui family is too big, and neither the host nor the guests can bear it if they only rely on their two legs.

Sure enough, just as Wu Wuniang's feet hit the ground, a woman had already driven Xi Che to her.

However, the regulation of this car is too crude, and it can't be compared with the one she took when she first came to Cui's house ten years ago.

After thinking about it again, she was relieved: yes, she was a guest ten years ago, and the host would arrange the best frame for her as a sign of solemnity.

But now she is the concubine of the Cui family, and she is considered her own, so of course she must follow the rules of the Cui family.

It's one thing to understand, but Wu Wuniang felt very awkward in her heart, and said to herself: "What a Xiao, the first one who got off the horse is not counted, and now I use this way to 'remind' myself, although it is true, but it is somewhat Slap in the face.

What Wu didn't know was that the slap in the face was yet to come.

No, the displeasure on her face had just faded away when the woman who was serving at the side saw it, curled her lips, and muttered: "According to the rules of our Rongshoutang, concubines are not qualified to ride in the Xi chariot. But our wife is kind, seeing that Aunt Yang is weak, she allowed Aunt Yang to take the ride..."

Wu Wuniang paused when she got into the car, and turned to look at the woman with cold eyes.

The woman didn't seem to notice anything, she supported Wu Wuniang's arm with one hand, and continued to mutter: "A few days ago, Madam knew that Aunt Wu was going to enter the mansion, so she specially prepared a yard for you and gave you a lot of rewards." The waiter. Madam said that although you are a latecomer, and still, you will remarry...but all treatment will be the same as Aunt Yang's."

Wu Wuniang's face was so dark that she was about to wring out water.

Who Aunt Yang is, of course she knows.She is obviously a noble daughter of a family, but because of her frail health and the death of her six relatives, she stayed with Uncle Cui as a concubine.

She is also a noble concubine, but Wu Wuniang feels that she is more confident than Yang Yu-her Wu family is a noble concubine with a marriage certificate, and Yang's, although she bears the name of a noble concubine, she is not at all. There is no marriage certificate, and it is not protected by the law. It is simply not right and wrong.

What Yang relies on is her cousin relationship with Cui Youbo, and all her preferential treatment is "rewarded" by the mistress. Once the mistress can't see her well that day, she can easily knock Yang off the cloud .

Therefore, Wu Wuniang has always placed herself above Yang Shi, and she also looks down on Yang Shi.

But now, listening to the meaning of the mother-in-law's words, in Xiao's eyes, she is not even as good as Yang's, and all her treatment is compared to Yang's.

She should be higher than Yang's.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Wuniang didn't bother to talk to a woman, she stepped hard, and she quickly got into Xi's car.

The small Xi car drove slowly in the backyard, Wu Wuniang rested her head on the wall of the car, and her body shook slightly with the car.

After shaking for about a quarter of an hour, Xi's car stopped.

The mother-in-law jumped off the frame and opened the door from the outside, but she said in a non-respectful manner: "Aunt Wu, we're here!"

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her arms to support her.

Holding the mother-in-law's arm, Wu Wuniang got out of Xi's car.

In front of her is a small courtyard, with two courtyard doors wide open, and people standing outside the doors can see some of the scenery inside the courtyard.

Overall, it was not bad. There was a small flower bed in the middle of the small courtyard. It was March in Yangchun, and the flowers in the flower bed were all in bloom, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Wu Wuniang walked up the steps, carefully observing her future residence as she walked.

As she went deeper, the whole picture of the small courtyard was fully displayed in front of her: the small courtyard was small, with only three rooms, with sparse flowers and trees in the courtyard, and a gravel-paved path meandering from the door to the verandah.

Because it is a courtyard for concubines, there is no main house.

Seeing the three side rooms that were not in the correct position, Wu Wuniang's face showed a gloomy look.

She kept walking, turned around the narrow yard, and found that there was a pot door hole in the east wall, and there were two closed black lacquered wooden doors under the door hole.

"Where does this door lead to?"

Wu Wuniang stood in front of the Humen cave, raised her chin, and asked the woman beside her in a deep voice.

The mother-in-law was sent by Xiao Nan to serve Wu Wuniang, and she didn't show much respect to the new master, she just bowed in a proper manner, and then replied: "So that Aunt Wu will know, through this door, Another thirty or forty steps to the east is Aunt Yang's yard."

"Open the door!"

Wu Wuniang thought of a certain possibility, and her mood became even more unhappy, and her tone of voice was a bit chilly.

The woman was taken aback, she didn't expect the new owner to be so angry.

Dazed for a moment, she hurriedly pulled down a bunch of keys from her waist, found one with a bang, and unlocked the big lock on the black lacquered door, then pushed open a door, and her fat body flashed aside, "Aunt Wu, please!"

Wu Wuniang strode across the threshold, stood on the high steps, and looked into the distance, and she saw an independent small courtyard not far away. The architectural styles of the two small courtyards are very similar, but the size is far away. Much larger than the building behind him.

What annoyed Wu Wuniang even more was that the location of that courtyard was closer to the main courtyard than hers, and the location was also very upright.

"...My place is actually a cross-yard of Yang's residence?!"

Realizing this possibility, Wu Wuniang's pretty face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and her beautiful facial features were also distorted out of shape——Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, how dare you humiliate me like this? !

……

Holding back her anger, Wu Wuniang came to the main room in the middle of the three folk recipes. She was not in the mood to look at the furnishings in the room, and directly called the maid Xiao Nan provided for her.

"Maid/Old slave has seen Aunt Wu!"

Two big maids, four rough maids, and four rough envoys filled the small main room, and they all saluted Wu Wuniang to say hello.

Sitting on the main seat, Wu Wuniang silently looked at the ten servants. She didn't rush to make people get up, but looked at the ten servants one by one.

Well, the two big maids are about fifteen or sixteen years old, they are both dressed in standard blue dresses, they are not pretty, they are barely pretty.

The four rough maidservants looked younger, about twelve or thirteen years old, but judging from their polite appearance, it was not difficult to guess that they were all domestic slaves of the Cui family, and they were not bought from outside.

As for the four rough envoys, they are even less interesting.

The oldest and most in charge is Mrs. Zhang who stays at the door and holds the key.

She was in her early forties, with thick black hair tied in a neat bun, two or three silver flower hairpins on her head, and a pair of heavy silver bracelets on her chubby wrists. Mrs. Zhang is also quite valued by the owner in the Cui family.

As for the other three women who are responsible for cleaning and other chores, they are all about 40 years old, and they look very sharp. Although they are not very shrewd, they are all people with a clear mind.

At least, they all knew very well who their real master was in Cui's house and Rongshou Hall.

Wu Wuniang saw this clearly, but was also extremely annoyed.

There are ten people on my side, but none of them belongs to her.

Wu Wuniang was lying if she said she wasn't depressed. From the time she entered the door to now, it took only about an hour. She didn't even see Xiao Nan's face, and she was "humiliated" one after another, but she couldn't protest, let alone refuse. .

Although these trivial things were not enough to break Wu Wuniang's determination, they also made her recognize certain facts.

No matter how ambitious she is, there are some things she can't get around no matter what.

Sighing silently, Wu Wuniang finally calmed down a little when she first entered the city, closed her eyes, and said slowly: "Get up!"

When she calmed down and her senses returned, Wu Wuniang realized that even if these people were not her confidantes, so what, with her skills, she would be able to subdue them with time and promise of great benefits.

After thinking this through, the anger on Wu Wuniang's face finally dissipated. She nodded gently, "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the rules in the house. Please remind me."

After the good words were finished, she supplemented it with temptation: "Of course, I have a good life, and naturally I won't forget everyone."

In addition to sweet dates, I also need a big stick: "But, if I make a mistake somewhere, even if I can let you go, I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Madam, don't you think so?!"

These words were full of threats, and there were no fools present, even the youngest rough servant girl, they all understood.

"Yes, please obey!"

Everyone bowed in unison and said yes, expressing that they would definitely do things well and never let Aunt Wu have the opportunity to make mistakes!
After the servants finished their salutes, the next step was self-introduction.

There are two maidservants, the older one is called Baizhi, and the other is called Baiji.

Because of their young age, the four maidservants are servants in the outer courtyard, so the lady in charge hasn't given them names yet.

When Wu Wuniang heard this, she immediately became interested, and named the four of them respectively. She likes elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so her maids are named after these four characters.

The maid who was dowry before was killed by the bandits, and then Aqin, who Guo Jizu supplied to her, also drowned in the well, so those names were left vacant.

Wu Wuniang decided not to waste resources, and re-given the four names of Aqin, Aqi, Ashu, and Ahua to the four maidservants, the new team in her mind.

Finally got a name, which means that he was accepted by the master. The four rough servant girls were very happy, and they all saluted and thanked Aunt Wu for giving the name.

Seeing this situation, Bai Zhi and Bai Ji quietly looked at each other, exchanging a look of mutual understanding.

After some introductions, Wu Wuniang got to know all the people in her yard, and then she washed and changed her clothes, and then went to greet the mistress.

In order to show that she was well-behaved, Wu Wuniang didn't even have time to pack her luggage, so she followed the two maidservants to Weirui Courtyard.

Walking to the gate of Weirui Courtyard, Wu Wuniang stood at the bottom of the steps, looking at the familiar courtyard gate, she took a deep breath, shook her hands in her sleeves firmly, then turned her head and ordered Bai Zhi to go through first. pass.

Bai Zhi's movements were quick, and within a quarter of an hour after entering, she trotted back——

"Aunt Wu, Madam said that you are tired after traveling all the way back, so you don't need to see the ceremony today, and it won't be too late for you to come back tomorrow morning!"

PS: Hey, let’s make up for yesterday. It is said that my little nephew finally had a full moon yesterday. This girl is so excited. Is there anything?
