Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 9

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Wang asked Shuning to watch over her housekeeper, and told her what Shuning couldn't understand.Shuning studied very seriously. Housekeeping was a technical job for women in ancient times. If she couldn't even manage the house well, she would be looked down upon in a good family.Especially the sisters-in-law in ancient times would compare with each other. Although Shu Ning didn't like to compete, she didn't want to be looked down upon.

She was going to get married and become a regular wife in the future, and housekeeping was the hardest lesson she had learned when she was a girl.Unlike Shuhui, she set her sights on the palace and wanted to be the emperor's concubine.In Shu Ning's eyes, the emperor's concubine is also a concubine. Don't think that she is a real wife by calling her a lady. No matter how high their status is, they can't wear red.

Shu Ning doesn't want to be a concubine, even the emperor's concubine, what's so good about sharing cucumbers.

After finishing her studies, the housekeeper Shu Ning bid farewell to Mrs. Wang, and returned to her own yard, where she changed into old clothes that were probably new and leaned on the couch.

"girl."

Mei Dong came over with a bowl of jujube tea, girls rarely drink tea, most of them drink jujube water.

"Go to the kitchen and tell me, I want to eat something light tonight, instead of meat dishes." Shuning took a sip of water from Mei Dong's hand.

"Yes."

The second-class maid outside the door immediately went to the kitchen, and the girls in the Hou Mansion just said what they wanted to eat, even if the kitchen didn't have it, they would look for it immediately.Unlike the girls from other families, if they suddenly want to eat something that exceeds their quota, they have to spend money to buy it in the kitchen. Where is it that the girl from Yongning Hou Mansion is so good, the quota is the same as Madam and the others, and they can eat whatever they want? What to eat, no need to look at people's faces.

In other lords' homes, unfavored concubine daughters might be bullied by servants, but in the lord's mansion it was impossible.Not to mention that there are only two girls like this in several generations of the Hou Mansion, even the whip of the Marquis of Yongning is not a vegetarian. If he dares to neglect and bully his children, he just waits to be whipped covered in blood and then thrown out of the Hou Mansion. No one dared to use them for a life.

This is also the reason why the Hou Mansion's family management is strict so that the sons and daughters of the family can live a good life. Although other families will do their best to cultivate the sons and daughters, it usually depends on their own means. Of course, the following People are only honest, and if they don't mix well, the people above will not say much.

All in all, it's all up to them to be good and bad, and other people are not so kind to help them.

Whenever she thinks of this, Shu Ning is glad that she was reborn in the Yongning Hou Mansion. Although Shu Ning also thinks that she can live a good life in other duke's homes, she is not as comfortable as Yongning Hou Mansion, and her aunt is also dedicated to her. , All the things learned are based on the standards of a prostitute.

When I usually go out to dinner with my aunt, nine out of ten people who don't know her details will not see her as a concubine, but will only think that she is the aunt of a certain family.

In fact, Shu Ning is not worried that they will look down on her because of her status as a concubine. If it is possible to change to another family, the concubine and concubine are together when attending the banquet, and concubine and concubine are together .However, Shu Ning was in the middle of the group of concubine daughters as a concubine, and no one dared to underestimate her.

Who in the capital does not know that these two girls have been acquired by the Marquis of Yongning for several generations, and they are even more precious than those prostitutes who are not very favored.Especially for the two girls, they were brought up by their aunts since they were young, and they were raised completely as aunts, so the aunts didn't feel uncomfortable accepting her.Originally, the eldest girl should be on the side of the prostitutes like Shuning, but unfortunately she is not very popular, plus she has a bad temper and looks down on the prostitutes around her. After a long time, everyone is not happy to be with her , Let her hang out with a bunch of prostitutes!
