Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 39

Originally, according to Mrs. Shen's intention, she wanted to meet the servants in the main courtyard in the afternoon, but Shen Ruyi put forward another opinion: "Anyway, I know what they should do, and if they don't do well, Mother, you happen to have an excuse to replace the person, do it well, mother, keep it in your heart, if it works, you will reuse it in the future, if it doesn’t work, then don’t bother, it’s the same whether you see it or not.”

Mrs. Shen hesitated: "But I can't even know the names of the people in my yard, can I?"

Shen Ruyi curled her lips: "Why do you care? You use green silk and green cotton first. Whether those people want to inquire about news or flatter you, they will always find a chance to appear in front of you. When the time comes, you don't need to ask, they will do it themselves. I will say what my name is. Anyway, our mother and daughter are not in a happy life. We have already done things that we can do by ourselves. It is enough to have green silk and cotton around us. Mom, are you afraid that no one will serve you?"

Nanny Lu also agrees with Shen Ruyi's statement: "Now the old lady is waiting to see your jokes, Madam. The most important thing for you right now is to completely control the housekeeping power of the Marquis Mansion in your own hands. This is a rare opportunity. While Lord Hou treats you and the girl..."

Nanny Song coughed lightly, Nanny Lu raised her eyebrows, and conveyed her meaning to Madam Shen with her eyes. Madam Shen is not stupid, and Nanny Lu's eyes were too obvious, and her face turned red immediately .

Nanny Chen took care of Mrs. Shen when she was in the Lu family. The Lu family was orphaned and widowed, so she couldn't fight, so she had no experience in house fighting in her life. She just wanted to keep Shen Ruyi in the village for protection. It will take a lifetime to know how much she knows about the things in these big mansion gates.

It's more than enough for her to take care of a small village, but it's not enough when it comes to the Hou Mansion.Fortunately, Nanny Chen has self-knowledge. Since she came to the Hou Mansion, she has positioned herself as the person who takes care of Mrs. Shen and Ruyi Shen, and it is Nanny Song and Nanny Lu's business to make up her mind.

Seeing that Nanny Lu was thinking of a solution, she quietly went to the door and glanced twice, then moved a small stool, sat under the hut, lit a fire and made tea, and taught Qingsi and Qingmian softly: "Now Madam can't promote you to first-class maidservant, because you are young, and secondly, you can't figure out the situation. In this yard, there are many people staring at the position of the first-class maidservant. For the time being, let them fight and just wait to sit and receive. profit."

The two little maids nodded hurriedly, and Xia Chan and Xia Bing got together to hold their cheeks and worry: "Mommy, the Hou Mansion is really rich, but it's not fun at all, if it's still in Zhuangzi, we can do it right now." Went to the river to catch fish. Mommy, can we go back?"

Nanny Chen shook her head: "Of course I can't go back, but you should be more aggressive and help the girl more. When the girl has room to speak in the mansion, the girl will take you to the Zhuangzi to play, or go to the village. Go shopping on the street, the streets in the capital are very lively, there are jugglers in the east, jewelry in the west, clothes in the south, and barbarians in the north, I guarantee you have never seen them before."

Xia Chan's eyes widened: "Hu man?"

"Yes, they are people with very strange looks. Some have yellow hair, some have red hair, some are very black, and some are very white." Mother Chen thought hard before saying, The little maids were shocked when they heard this.

On the other side of the corridor, the two maids wearing autumn-colored armor looked at this side, curled their lips in unison, and then the taller one said: "Sister Baitao, look, that old-fashioned posture is just to guard against us." , if this continues, how can we get close to Madam?"

Baitao frowned: "What can I do? That old man is very wary. Madam came back yesterday, but whenever she talked to Nanny Lu in the house, she was always guarding outside. We can't even get close to the house. How can I get close to Madam?"

"Where are Baiju and Baili?" Baitao asked again, and Baixing curled her lips: "I don't know, those two just came out of the old lady's yard, and their eyes almost grew to the top of their heads. I thought Madam didn't dare to do anything to them, look at Madam's posture today, she is not the incompetent and cowardly person in the legend, if one day Madam wants to hire someone to find them, I will see if the old lady can keep them at that time .”

Bai Tao glanced at Bai Xing with a half-smile, and Bai Xing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Bai Tao's arm: "Sister Bai Tao, I used to be a third-class maid, and I have never served a noble person. Please give me some pointers when you have time. I don't ask to be Madam's confidant in the future, as long as I can get a monthly payment of one tael of silver in a safe and secure manner, I will be satisfied."

"Then don't worry, you will definitely get your monthly report." Baitao smiled with her lips raised, and took another step back: "Okay, it's getting late, we should remind Madam to go Greetings from Changchun Garden."

Bai Xing hurriedly responded, not daring to compete with Baitao, followed behind Baitao to the Baosha, first bowed to Mother Chen, and then said: "It's almost time, Second Madam and Third Lady Madam used to go to greet the old lady at this time."

Nanny Chen knew what she said, and hurried in to talk to Mrs. Shen.Mrs. Shen tidied up and took Shen Ruyi to Changchun Garden.

Both mother and son thought that the old lady was trying to make things difficult for Mrs. Shen about the housekeeper, but they didn't expect that the old lady couldn't press him to death at once, and she wouldn't stop torturing him intermittently.

Mrs. Shen stood and waited on the old lady for lunch, then stood dryly for half an hour, waited on the old lady to take a nap, and then went back to her yard when she was free, but there was no food.The big kitchen said, because Madam said today that lunch doesn’t need to be delivered separately, it can only be sent to Changchun Garden, so, except for Changchun Garden, there is no lunch.

"Fortunately, there are still snacks." Shen Ruyi handed the snacks to Mrs. Shen distressedly, and said: "I've been tired all morning, and I don't even have lunch. If this happens every day in the future, my mother's body will definitely be exhausted."

Nanny Lu also sighed: "So now we have to hold the power of stewardship in our hands as soon as possible. With the old lady, there is no turning back. Either we suppress the old lady, or we admit defeat to the old lady. Although the former It's a bit difficult, but if it's done, the Madam will be the head of the Hou Mansion from now on, and the girl's marriage, except for the Marquis, is the Madam's decision. But if it's the latter..."

Nanny Lu was a little worried, fearing that people like them would not even have a way to survive.

Mrs. Shen was also silent for a while, feeling like she lost her appetite even for snacks.Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes, and immediately thought of a good idea: "How many servants did father bring with him when he went out today?"

Madam Shen shook her head, Nanny Lu shook her head, Nanny Song shook her head, Nanny Chen thought for a while and replied, "I brought two, Huichun and Huixia."

Shen Ruyi frowned, and she was also familiar with the two servants beside Lord Shen, because Huichun and Huixia went out with Lord Shen, and when they went to Zhuangzi to pick up their mother and daughter last time, they brought these two boy.

"What's the girl's idea?" Nanny Song asked, and Shen Ruyi sighed while resting her cheeks: "I wanted my father's boy to go out and buy some food."

Nanny Lu's eyes lit up for a moment, and then she shook her head: "No, Master Hou is busy with work, so I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the old lady, and if something happens to Master Hou's study..."

Then Mrs. Shen is not going to be sent to Zhuangzi to get things done, even if she bears the name of a filial woman, she cannot be Mrs. Hou if she is not virtuous.

"Then what should I do? Let mother not eat every day?" Shen Ruyi was a little depressed, how could she have a baby if she was not in good health?
"Mommy Zhao's family hasn't entered the mansion yet." Nanny Chen said something suddenly, Madam Shen was taken aback for a moment, and Nanny Lu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I actually forgot about Nanny Zhao's family, since Nanny Zhao's family is still here Outside, Madam Zhao will prepare meals every day and send them in secretly, for ten days or so, Madam will find a way to separate the meals in each room."

The deed of sale of the Zhao mama's family was in the hands of Shen Houye, who later handed over all the deeds of sale of the people in the village to Shen Ruyi, that is to say, now the Zhao mama's family is Shen Ruyi can be ordered.

Although when we went back to the Hou's Mansion, Madam Zhao's family also came in, but at that time, Mrs. Shen had no room to speak in the Hou's Mansion. It would be nice to be able to settle down the maids and mamas around her, Madam Zhao The mother's family has no place to settle, so they can only live outside the house.

"But this matter has to be done quietly." Nanny Lu said, but Nanny Song shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't work if I do this. Occasionally, Nanny Zhao brings food over, and it can be said that she wants to find someone It's an errand, so I have to fawn on Madam, but the number of times is too many... At that time, it will be hard for the old lady to find it, which is equivalent to telling everyone that the old lady abused you..."

This can't work, that can't work, Shen Ruyi really has no choice, even if she has lived two lifetimes, she has never encountered such a thing, because in her previous life, she never thought of resisting, but in this life, she has no experience.Therefore, she can only learn slowly now.

"Cough, Madam and Miss have forgotten someone..." Nanny Song paused and laughed, Madam Shen blinked, and Shen Ruyi also blinked. The expressions of the mother and daughter were exactly the same, and Nanny Song smiled lightly "The aunts in each house still eat in their own yards. Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, Aunt Hua..."

Shen Ruyi's eyes widened immediately: "Do you want the aunts to share half of their food?" Mrs. Shen was also a little dazed, she didn't dislike the food of the aunts, but thought, would the aunts agree?Besides Aunt Wang, are Aunt Liu and Aunt Hua reliable?Furthermore, Aunt Wang's willingness to help her is limited to fighting for the right to be a housekeeper. As for Mrs. Shen's health, what does it have to do with Aunt Wang?
Aunt Wang probably hoped that Mrs. Shen's health would deteriorate as soon as possible, so that she would not be able to have children in the future.So, would Mrs. Shen dare to eat the food sent by Aunt Wang?
