Chapter 22 There Are Still Good People in This World

Aunt Xu didn't wait for Mama Wang to finish, she interrupted her: "Wait a minute!"Aunt Xu turned her head and glared at Chun Ying: "No rules! Who told you to look up?! Who are you staring at?!"

Chunying was a little dumbfounded by her scolding, and she lowered her head reflexively, secretly regretting that her eyes were too straightforward just now, and hoped not to annoy others because of it.

It seemed that Chunying was not the only one who was confused by Aunt Xu's words, and even Wang's mother who was interrupted didn't understand her intention: "Sister and sister, you are..."

"Sister-in-law is laughing at you." Aunt Xu said flatly, "Girls nowadays are too ignorant of the rules, unlike when we were young, when we were old enough to remember, we would have someone to teach us, and we would never look at people like this. This distribution of duties was originally decided by the masters, and even we ladies in charge are only sharing the worries of the masters, how can a little girl make up her mind?"

The face of the woman in water red turned red and white, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "What does Mrs. Xu mean by that? Could it be that our young master can't even ask for a girl?"

Aunt Xu smiled slightly: "What a girl is too serious." When Chunying heard this, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch.How many girls?This is not a dream of the Red Chamber!

Then Aunt Xu continued: "Our Mansion of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Qing was originally a family of poets and rites. There are scholars from generation to generation, and there are rules in everything. The masters and masters in the mansion, how many people should be employed in any house, and how many maids are there?" There are rules for how many daughters-in-law and wives there are, including the old lady, master marquis, and wife, and the young masters and ladies are no exception. The eldest young master's house was already lacking, and the girl must also remember that when the embroidered book accidentally poured tea on the second young master, he was injured by the second young master and had to leave the house. Because the eldest young master said that there was no There are few people around, so I haven't made up for it all the time. Now that there is an eldest young mistress, there is not enough manpower, my wife remembered it yesterday, so she told us to pick someone to send. There is no shortage of people in the second young master's house, so how can we add more?" She He raised his hand to tidy up his cuffs, and asked casually: "Second Young Master's room is full of people already. I remember that the people who added two years ago were all good at female celebrities. Why is there no one to do work?"

Duo girl's face was already ashen, and she held back for a long time before she said: "Those little hooves think they have face, they are lazy and refuse to work!" After taking a few breaths, she said: "Since this is the case, it is just right, our young master I just said that the girl in Nanqi didn't listen to her orders and asked her to pour tea. She didn't move her nest for a long time, but wandered outside all day, as if there was no one in our yard, so she was simply kicked out and picked another one. It's my envoy. Let the aunt replace this girl with her, so as to save the second young master from being angry!"

The Lu family suddenly laughed: "Ms., this is not a good thing. I'm afraid the second young master may not have such thoughts. If you really change people, he will be angry instead." They winked, some laughed, and some remained calm.

"What do you mean?" The girl was stunned for a while, and when she saw that the daughters-in-law were just laughing, she became angry. Mother Wang hurriedly advised her: "Girl, don't talk to them. Your Aunt Xu is right. Let's forget about it. We still have more to do." I have to go out, don't delay the time."

The girl was full of reluctance: "Where can't you wait for a while? Mom, let's take a rest." Then she said to Aunt Xu: "I will report to the young master tonight, and when he nods, Someone came to bring this girl in. Why do you need to talk too much? Adding a little girl, is it a crime? There are two more than others in the third young master's room! Why don't you mention it?"

Chunying cursed inwardly, why did so many girls pester her? !I've only heard of the "multi-girl" flair in the red building, but I didn't expect that the multi-girl in this unknown world is even more hateful!She was a little scared in her heart, praying to God that she would never be allowed to be the second young master's girl.

Aunt Xu frowned: "There are not many people in the third young master's room, but Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang are still paying monthly money in the wife's room, and they are still the wife's people, but the number of young girls is the same as other young masters. What a girl, I advise you to save trouble." Then, she said to Wang's mother seriously: "Sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. There are some things that I would not say to others, but with the relationship between the Wang and Xu families However, I have to say this. If you make my sister-in-law unhappy, please bear with me. "

This made Wang Mama become serious: "What... what's the matter? You, you say..."

"Since ancient times, everyone has paid attention to 'family and everything's prosperous'. There is no reason for our family to argue endlessly over a little thing. The girl is a small matter. If the two young masters have a knot because of this, it will be our subordinates. Nope. Even if we can't persuade, we should talk less and calm things down. This is what Aunt Wang taught me when I was a little girl, so my sister-in-law must have heard it too?"

Mama Wang's face turned blue and white, and without waiting for her answer, Aunt Xu turned to Chunying and said sharply, "You don't know the rules, and you are not good at your work. You should have studied for a few more years before you came up. You were considered honest on weekdays, that’s why you were included in the roster. If you didn’t think about it, you said a few words, and then committed another crime! Now the second young master is angry, and if he praises you again, he will be disrespectful to the second young master! Tell yourself how you should be punished you?!"

Chunying was confused when she heard it, thinking how could this be her fault?What did she do wrong?She looked at Aunt Xu in confusion, and when she saw the other person's eyes, she suddenly understood, and immediately leaned down: "The little one is wrong, and the little one is willing to be punished, please tell me."

Aunt Xu nodded in satisfaction: "It's good if you know your mistakes. The old lady often said, we have to be lenient to the people below, then I won't punish you severely - go back and continue to learn the rules! When you learn it well, come to ask for an errand again!" "

Chunying resisted the urge to turn her mouth up, pretended to be sad and replied: "Yes, ma'am." She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Mrs. Xu turned her head and told the daughter-in-law who was holding the roster: "Take her name, and send the little girl named Jiajia just selected to the eldest mistress."

The daughter-in-law agreed, and Mrs. Guan opened her mouth, but she still didn't make a sound.The Lu family glanced at her and smiled sarcastically.

Duo girl kept a straight face, and asked after a while: "Then what about the people in our house?! When Nan Qi is kicked out, who will fill her vacancy?!"

Aunt Xu glanced at her indifferently: "When people go out, we will ask the second young master what he means. We have already selected eight people, and the two young ladies only need to add six people in total, so there will be others left." Then she ignored her , And told the other daughters-in-law: "It's almost time for dinner, this person has been chosen enough, let everyone leave."

Everyone responded, and packed up their things one after another. Chunying was about to get up, but heard a person rushing up behind him, knelt down and shouted: "Ma'am! Sisters-in-law! And me! You haven't asked me yet You can't just drive me back like this!" She heard the familiar voice, turned her head and saw that it was Sister Feng Lian, and saw that the faces of the housekeepers were all ugly, so she hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Stop talking, let's go back quickly. "He stretched out his hand to pull Sister Lian.

Sister Feng Lian broke away from her hand, jumped forward, and grabbed the skirt of Duo girl: "Good sister, I would like to go to the second young master's place, please help me to talk!" Chunying was so surprised that she couldn't say anything. Can't tell.

Sister Lian, don't be too hard on yourself!
But Sister Lian couldn't hear her inner voice at all, she just begged bitterly.The girls looked at her a few times, and saw that although she looked pretty, her makeup was too rustic, and her small body was shriveled, far inferior to her own plumpness. Looking at her hands, they looked like chicken feet, where could she be herself? White and delicate?Girl Duo rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Since you are so loyal, I'll be a good person." Turning to Aunt Xu, she said, "Just her, I think she's not bad."

Sister Lian was overjoyed, Aunt Xu glanced at her coldly, said nothing, just nodded to the daughter-in-law who took the roster, as a promise, Sister Lian immediately burst into tears with joy, and when everyone had left, she Still wiping tears.

Chunying accompanied me depressedly, seeing that she had no intention of stopping, she said angrily: "Have you finished crying yet? Everyone is watching a joke! Are you hungry? Go back and eat!"

Sister Lian wiped away her tears and snot with her sleeve, and peeked at her timidly: "I'm sorry... Chun'er, I... I stole your job..."

That's not her job!Chunying resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "I didn't want to go, that's fine! Let's go!"

Sister Lian hurriedly agreed, and followed her home, peeking at her countless times with those guilty eyes along the way, Chunying became even more depressed, and ran into her house as soon as she entered the courtyard, not wanting to talk to her anymore .

Afterwards, Chun Ying just regarded the smug laughter from the Feng family, Sister Lian's hesitant advice, and Liu Xier's angrily closing the window as clouds in the sky, and didn't bother to care about them.She still feels a little unreal now, and she couldn't help but pinch herself to confirm that it was true, and she felt a little secretly happy in her heart.

Although it is very depressing to be dismissed like this, it also means that she will not be forced into the house again in a short time. Isn't this a good thing?Anyway, the family is much better now, it doesn't matter if she enters the mansion or not, now that she is free, she should think of other ways to make money.

Chunying hummed a song relaxedly, picked up a rag and started to clean the room, when she heard familiar footsteps outside, she opened the door happily: "Mother, you are back..." Before finishing greeting, I was dragged into the house by my old lady, and closed the door with a bang.

Mother Lu was a little frustrated: "I heard from your Aunt Liu that you were not selected?! What's going on?! Mrs. Guan obviously took my things! Also, your Aunt Liu said that it was Aunt Xu who did something wrong, so she drove you back. Yes, because of what happened last time, she annoyed you?!"

Chunying hurriedly said, "No, no." She explained the matter in detail, and then said, "Mum, did you understand? Aunt Xu is helping me. She is a good person. If she didn't use this method to kick me If I come out, I will go to the second young master, isn't that very miserable?"

Mother Lu has calmed down, but she still has some doubts: "Then why does the Liu family say that she is playing tricks?"

Chunying thought for a while: "It should be her misunderstanding. Those who don't know will think it is Mrs. Xu's fault when they hear about it, right? Anyway, I am very happy, but Sister Lian, I really don't understand what she thinks Yes, actually begging to serve the second young master."

Mother Lu curled her lips: "Old Master Feng is so focused on getting his daughter in, bah! He doesn't care how much his daughter is." Then she worried: "But what's going on now? I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the mansion for a year or so. gone."

"If you can't get in, you can't get in. Our family doesn't lack the money and silver." Chun Ying hugged her mother's arm coquettishly, "Didn't mother teach me to embroider lotus? She also told me to go to the embroidery room to try. If I enter the mansion, How can you do work for the embroidery room?"

Mother Lu thought about it too, but she was a little bit unwilling in the end: "Didn't I add someone to the young master? Why can't I send you there?"

Chunying smiled and said: "That's a hornet's nest, why is the second young master willing to give up? I heard that the vacancy in the first young master's house was originally a girl who was injured by the second young master. If I really went there, I would offend her." Him? I don't want to be beaten."

Lu's mother was taken aback, thinking that it would be a good thing for her daughter not to go, so she let go.

On the contrary, Lu Yougui felt it was a pity, and later he heard that because Mrs. Guan received gifts from the eight families, she made a package to send the daughters of the eight families to the second lady's house. As a result, several people were sent to other places, and some were not selected. Yes, those families gathered around her house to talk about it.As soon as Lu Yougui came home and said that, Lu's mother couldn't help laughing, and immediately went out to mess with it, but she asked for half a load of rice, a purse and a gold bracelet, and even said that she was at a disadvantage.Chun Ying was speechless.

Sister Feng Lian happily followed the mother-in-law who came to pick him up into the mansion within a few days. Before leaving, Feng Laocai gave countless instructions, and her little face was always flushed.As soon as she left, Feng Laocai went out to gamble with his friends again.Liu Xi'er folded her arms and watched coldly. Her younger brother asked her carefully, but she also scolded her back.

Chunying looked out from the kitchen, sighed when she saw this, and then picked up two cucumbers to cut, but suddenly found a black shadow behind her, turned around quickly, it turned out to be Widow Cui.

Chunying greeted with a dry smile: "Aunt Cui...do you want to use the kitchen?"

Widow Cui shook her head, and solemnly stepped forward to hold her hand: "Good boy, don't worry, your sister Man and I will find a way for you."

Hey?What does this mean?
