Chapter 174 Chunying Became a Veteran

The six new girls are named Thrush, Wufu, Xinghong, Liulu, Lianhua and Yinhuan.Among them, Wufu changed its name to Zigui because Aunt Qing and Dong'er thought the name was too rustic.Huo Yi didn't object, and everyone followed suit.

Chunying explained the rules of the courtyard one by one while carefully observing the six people in front of her.These little girls are all very well-groomed, and two or three of them are quite handsome, especially apricot red, with two curved slender eyebrows, a pair of big apricot-like eyes blinking and blinking, very agile, and the skin Fair and clear, with red lips and bright teeth, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she can already see that she must be a beauty in the future.

Chunying was a little puzzled, how could such a talented girl be sent here?Isn't it reasonable to say that he was picked out long ago?But the old lady dotes on her granddaughter very much, so she probably sent her here on purpose?
It was only after talking with the six new maids that she changed her mind.Although Xinghong is outstanding in appearance, she is not very calm. In front of Chunying, because she is a senior sister, she always chooses to speak nicely and flatters her from time to time. It is just because she is inexperienced that it is easy to make people feel uncomfortable. I can hear it, and between words, I always like to inquire about Miss Biao intentionally or unintentionally, such as "I heard that Miss Biao is very cold, will it be difficult to get along with?" Young mistress, she won't tolerate others", "Does the third young master come here often", and so on.Chunying became vigilant, and just dealt with some vague words casually, secretly reminding herself that Xinghong should not be allowed to wait on her in the upper room, and she should be beaten well, lest she cause trouble outside and cause trouble. Others in Miss Cousin's courtyard.

Among the other five, Thrush and the youngest Lianhua gave Chunying the best impression.Thrush has a calm personality and is the oldest. She seems to have been picked from a sewing room, and she is an excellent female celebrity.Little Lianhua is a bit honest and not very talkative, but she has a good temper. She often smiles with crooked eyebrows and flushed face.

Zigui and Liu Lu are mediocre, but as for Yinhuan, she is too cold-tempered, often looks at people out of the corner of her eyes, and doesn't seem to think highly of other girls.When Chunying asked, she realized that she was literate. She had studied the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" with her father for two years at home, so she understood a little bit.However, girls who can read can be proud of themselves elsewhere. Eight out of ten girls around Miss Biao are literate. Jinxiu and Linglong used to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Donger Juer and the others are not bad either. Yinhuan only knew how to read, so she had nothing to be proud of.Chunying secretly made a note to mention more points in the future.

Knowing the characters and specialties of the six people, Chun Ying thought for a while, and then assigned positions to them.Of course, Huamei was in charge of Miss Biao and Aunt Qing's needlework, Zigui, Xinghong and Liulu were in charge of cleaning the yard, Lianhua was in charge of running errands, and Yinhuan was helping Ju'er.Except for Xinghong who was not satisfied with her work and complained a few words in a low voice, everyone knelt down and answered "yes" obediently.

Chunying smiled and reiterated the rules in the courtyard, including those of the Hou family and the Huo family. At the end, she suddenly put away her smile and said coldly: "I have an ugly thing to say first. Since I have come to this courtyard, I will Follow the rules here, if anyone feels that he has been wronged, speak up now, I will return to Miss and Auntie, and let Mama Guan bring someone else to replace you, otherwise, I will make a mistake in the future, but Don't blame us for being rude!"

The six were silent for a while, and two or three secretly exchanged glances without making a sound.Chun Ying noticed that Xing Hong flattened her mouth, while Yin Huan gave a half-smile.It seems that there are indeed some troubles... She cleared her throat and continued: "Since no one speaks, it means that everyone is willing to stay and serve Miss Biao? From now on, let's work hard, Miss Biao will not I will treat you badly!"

Because of Qingjiao's confession, the fact that several of their maids and wives from the Hou's mansion received double salaries was not widely publicized, presumably the little girls living outside the mansion might not know about it?In fact, Huo Yi is very good at serving, she is not the young master, and the girls around her don't have to fight for the position of concubine, so the courtyard is very peaceful, but it will take a long time to understand all this.

Chunying didn't talk too much, and led them around to the responsible mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, took Yinhuan to see Ju'er, then went to meet Huo Yi and Aunt Qing, and reported the incident separately, and waited until they Nodding his head, he returned to his room, heaving a sigh of relief.

Shi'er came over furtively, and leaned against the door to cover her mouth and sniggered. Chunying said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Just now I was talking dry, but you just hid aside and didn't come to help." Don't forget, you are also second class now, just like me!"

Shi'er jumped into the room and sat down, said with a smile, "I'm still new here, and I have more experience than you. Look at your posture just now, you have a good appearance, you are not worse than those first-class girls at all! Where am I going to make trouble?"

Chunying casually picked up the unfinished purse in the sewing basket and threw it over: "You're laughing at me?! You don't know what kind of material I am? I was so nervous just now! But you are still watching my joke!"

Shi'er hurriedly caught the purse, came up to him and said with a smile, "Nothing! How well did you say it just now? I won't lie to you! Even sisters Mei Xiang and Lu'er are nothing more than that!"

"Really?" Chun Ying blinked, somewhat disbelieving, but still quite happy in her heart.Does this mean that she has evolved from a rookie to a veteran?From then on, we must work harder, and we must not make newcomers laugh at us!She secretly clenched her fists and made up her mind.

Shi'er pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and said a little discouraged: "You have to train new people, so you probably don't have time to joke with us... What is Second Sister doing these days? She doesn't pay attention to people when she talks...I suddenly feel a little boring..."

Chunying showed surprise: "What's the matter with you? Nanqi has been a little weird recently, but she just doesn't have much energy. I think she's okay, so don't worry, right?"

Shi'er curled her lips: "How can I not be worried? The family members don't know what they are thinking... I'm just afraid that the second sister will be confused!"

Chunying straightened up, thought about what happened recently, and nodded slowly: "I think the root cause is Nan Qi's marriage. Didn't you say earlier that my wife always calls back your family's request? I heard that recently my wife Already let go? Although there is no confirmation yet, but I think... begging Aunt Qing, there is no problem. I am sorry to care, Aunt Qing can always make the decision, right? Or you..." Suddenly widened Eyes, suppressing the voice so that only two people can hear, "Are you worried that Nan Qi will go to... Gao Pan young masters?"

Shi'er also opened his eyes wide: "How could it be?! My second sister..." suddenly realized that her voice was too loud, and hurriedly lowered it by [-]%, "Absolutely not! Why wait until today if you want to befriend young masters?! Besides, in this mansion, how can there be any young masters to reach for?! The eldest young master looks down on our family. If he doesn’t make trouble, he is kind; People are about to fight, if my second sister gets involved again, won't she be torn apart by those girls?!"

Chunying thinks about it, but she still has doubts: "Isn't the second young master coming back soon? Nan Qi has served him again. Although he has been transferred to Miss Biao's side for so many years, it is logically impossible to let her go back. But things are uncertain... I remember that your Wang family and the second young master seem to be very close."

"That was in the past!" Shi'er glanced carefully at the door, then leaned closer and whispered, "Because of the second young master, my uncle has been wronged a lot in recent years! I don't know what others think, But the second sister is absolutely unwilling to go back again! I'm afraid that other than my aunt, no one else has that kind of heart! The second sister has been worrying recently, and I'm afraid she is also worried that after the second young master comes back, the aunt will have unreasonable thoughts and force her Follow her to be a kid!"

After hearing this, Chunying was also a little worried: "What should I do then?" She paused, "If Nan Qi stands firm... as long as Miss Biao doesn't let her go, it shouldn't happen... Otherwise, let Nan Qi go Said, I'm already someone close to Miss Biao, how about going to serve the second young master, others will gossip?"

Shi'er lay down on the quilt, sighed and said, "But if Auntie finds Miss Biao, Miss Biao will definitely say that everything is up to the family..."

Chunying frowned, but couldn't think of any solution, so she had to keep an eye on Nanqi's situation, and found that after a few days of confusion, she suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, and her whole body returned to her original ability.

What did she decide to do?
Chunying looked at Nanqi talking and laughing with Dong'er, Ju'er and the others, but there was no sign of any disharmony, and she was even more puzzled.Recently, Nan Qi seems to come to Huo Yi and Aunt Qing to flatter her from time to time, and her good words are ten times better than Xing Hong's, often making Huo Yi laugh out loud.You know, this has been an extremely miraculous phenomenon in the past three years!

Chun Ying tried to find out why Nan Qi's mood had improved recently, but Nan Qi smiled and pointed to the new girls who were working outside the door, saying: "Chun Ying seems to be doing a good job in teaching the newcomers recently, I think they are all very happy." Those who know the rules, walk, talk and do things, are very polite. Even if they are playing crazy outside, they don’t walk around with disheveled clothes and messy hair. It’s all due to my sister. I heard that you Take the time to gather them together and teach them how to walk, sit, lie down and speak etiquette? I was worried that you would be negligent when doing it for the first time, but I didn’t expect you to do it better than I imagined.”

"Really?" Chunying was overjoyed, and immediately felt full of confidence, but after thinking about it, Nan Qi almost successfully changed the topic, and quickly changed back, "Sister Nan Qi recently..."

"However, my sister still has a few things that are not enough." Nan Qi quickly interrupted her question, pointing out a few mistakes, focusing on Xinghong and Yinhuan, "That Xinghong has always been Asking for errands to run errands in other courtyards, I asked, either to the third young master’s courtyard, or to the wife’s courtyard. Some people told me that she seems to be not very peaceful, so I should not let her go on such an errand in the future No, so as not to lose the face of the young lady. Also, Yinhuan has been hated by gods and ghosts these days, and no one wants to talk to her. The people under my son's hands, but since you have received the task of disciplining the newcomers, you should take care of them."

Chunying hurriedly said: "I was negligent about Xinghong's matter, so I will arrange it again, but I deliberately ignored the situation of Yinhuan, she is too high-minded, she needs to be dealt with hard. Otherwise, she won't be convinced. I think it's about time now, so I'll talk to her tomorrow."

Nan Qi nodded with a smile, asked her to discuss a few things about Miss Cousin, and then left.Only then did Chunying remember that she had been fooled again, and she couldn't help but gritted her teeth secretly.

Well, she knows that although she is considered an old bird, Nan Qi is obviously older than her!
