Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 459
The layout of the main house in the backyard is the same as before, except that there are a few more large vases filled with flowers.

Su Yue felt delighted when she saw it, and walked forward quickly, pulled out a watery white branch, sniffed it lightly and said happily, "Is this gardenia?"

"Yes, the third master specifically explained that the girl likes fragrant flowers, and transplanted a lot of them in the spring. There are also magnolias and white magnolias, but unfortunately they have passed the flowering period." Lu Zhu laughed.

"This is good." Su Yue said happily, and inserted the flower branch back with a smile, and then moved the vase to the window sill.

"Girl, come here." Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Ah, I can do it." Su Yue giggled, and after putting down the vase, she instructed Bai Lu Mint to replace the other vases.

"By the way, Luzhu, where's your son?" Seeing the vase was put away, Su Yue turned her head and smiled again.

"At home, too skinny, if the girl likes it, my servant will bring him over tomorrow." Lu Zhu laughed.

"Skin is good, children just need to be naughty." Su Yue also laughed.

"Ma'am, the things ahead are here." A middle-aged woman stood at the door with her head bowed and said, while speaking, she quietly raised her eyes to glance at Su Yue.

"Let's come." Mint said before Green Bamboo could speak.

Lvzhu retracted her legs, and said with a smile: "That's hard work, Miss Mint."

Mint laughed, walked out with Bai Lu, and called the middle-aged woman to count things.

This time, the ones brought over from Quanzhou were mainly tea, besides some treasures. In addition to the tea made by Su Yue, there were also new varieties just made this year.

Because there is plenty of time this year, the skills of those tea farmers have also improved, and Xie Jue is beside them, so except for those old tea trees due to the restriction of tea greenness, Su Yue made several times more dragon and moon balls this year than in previous years.

These tea cakes were brought up.

If it's someone else, they can't tell the type inside.

Lu Zhu watched the two people go out, turned around and moved the cushion for Su Yue who was already sitting on the soft couch, and said with a smile: "Now the third master is already a third-rank official, so you should have a few more talents by your side."

If in the past, Xie Jue was just a merchant, and Su Yue was just an orphan girl, and although she was rich, but the mansion would be restricted, then it would be enough to have two caring maids by her side, and she would be relaxed and comfortable.

But now Xie Jue is already a third-rank official. Although he is a casual official, he can behave like a third-rank official in the mansion, and the people he interacts with will be different.

I heard from Zheng Qi that Xie Jue will marry Su Yue this year. At that time, Su Yue will be a serious wife of the third rank. From now on, she will have to socialize with some officials. Generally, the wives of officials and officials will have at least four or five by her side. Big servant girl, three rank imperial orders, at least eight of them.

This is face!
Su Yue knew the meaning behind Lu Zhu's words, she frowned slightly and said, "That's what you said."

If it is a girl, there were more than a dozen of them in her yard when she was in the capital.

However, the maid in Luzhu's words is actually a close-fitting maid like Mint Bailu.

That is to say, according to the rules, there must be at least six big maids in her house, except for Mint who takes care of her jewelry box, and Bailu who takes care of her clothes, there should also be someone who is in charge of the kitchen, tea, sewing, and spices. of.

In her previous life, she was in King Kang's Mansion, and she even had around her ten servant girls who beat legs, served pens and ink, combed hair, and settled accounts.

And there are more than 30 second- and third-class maids in the yard who are in charge of specific affairs, not including those women.

Of course, women in the capital are not a problem, and women Rong and the others are capable and loyal.

It's just a girl, Ding Xiang is already old. When she left last year, she let Ding Xiang choose her own person. She should have been married at the beginning of spring this year. Now she has been promoted to be the steward's daughter-in-law, and the three Songwu...

Not to mention that the three of them were far from being close to Bai Lu, even if Tang Bing didn't bring the three of them out, Su Yue probably wouldn't be able to use it.

And the girls she bought herself were all for fighting at the beginning, and fighting is no problem, this burning incense to keep accounts...

Moreover, those girls are all over the age of seventeen (you can't find younger ones for fighting), and they will soon be married off.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a problem.

Seeing Su Yue moved, Lu Zhu said softly: "Last year's flood, many people fled to Hangzhou City. They couldn't survive, so they had to sell their sons and daughters, because the girl and the third master both spoke. The head of the family bought a lot of people, all of them were not separated from the family, and they were all sent to the village with strong laborers. However, there were also some orphans whose parents had died and had no relatives. My head of the family picked some and sent them back. These days, the servants have been training them, and some of them are still useful, and they are only twelve years old."

Su Yue raised her eyebrows unconsciously, and looked up at her.

Luzhu's face showed hesitation, after biting his lips, he said: "I'm not afraid to tell the girl clearly, the head of the house has also said that the third master will naturally prepare a maid for the girl, but the slave feels... the slave feels..."

After repeating it twice, Lu Zhu didn't know how to say it.

Last year before Chinese New Year, when Zheng Qi and Zheng Fa were drinking, for some reason, they mentioned that Xie Jue gave Su Yue a few maids, but it was probably because they did something wrong, so they didn't take them out. .

She happened to be delivering food at that time, and the two brothers didn't say anything more, but that one sentence made her a little uneasy.

She has a cautious temperament, and in the past few years with Zheng Qi, she has never listened too much and asked too much. She served Zheng Qi well, took care of the back house, and raised children in line with her own duty.

But after all, they were husband and wife, and they also served Su Yue. She knew what Xie Jue's subordinates were like.

It is also very clear that those people are loyal to Xie Jue.

Then, last year, I saw Mint coming back with Su Yue. Although Mint had nothing to say to Su Yue, but she was a servant and had a delicate heart, so I could see that Mint was probably a gift from Xie Jue. Su Yue's people.

From Mint's point of view, the maids that Xie Jue gave to Su Yue must have been trained like her husband, they are very capable, and they are also very loyal to Xie Jue.

Loyal to Xie Jue.

She worked as a maid when she was young, and what she watched was the affairs in the back house, and then she became someone's wife herself, so she could see some things more clearly.

Although it is said that husband and wife are one body, husband and wife are still two people after all. A wife always has some personal interests to protect.

It would not be a good thing for the hostess if the closest servant girl around her was the most loyal to the hostess.

She believed in Xie Jue's heart and character. Her family, Zheng Qidu, had never messed with women. Now he was a prominent figure in Hangzhou, but he never talked about marrying a concubine, let alone Xie Jue.

However, although King Xiang had no intention of doing so, did the Goddess have a heart?
If this personal servant girl has a different heart, it is the most difficult to guard against.

So, at that time, she came up with an idea, and went to pick up some orphan girls for training. In the past six months, it can be regarded as a small achievement.

But now, she can't express her worry, isn't this sowing discord...

Looking at the green bamboo, Su Yue smiled warmly, and said: "My green bamboo is for my sake, I know."

When Luzhu repeated the second sentence, she suddenly understood and understood Luzhu's worries.

That's right, Luzhu is helping her find a dowry girl, a dowry girl who only has one heart with her.

In her previous life, after Doubao got married, she was surrounded by maids assigned by King Kang. Although she looked very obedient in daily life, but...

In the end, in the palace, those people watched her coldly, watching her being killed...

Although Xie Jue was definitely not Kang Wang, but with Lu Zhu's experience, he probably felt that it was better to have two people of his own.

Anyway, those who manage clothes and take care of the yard don't need much martial arts or special skills, as long as they are careful and loyal.
