Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 225, girl

Feng Shi couldn't live with her natal family, so she could only bear with it, and in the afternoon when she heard that her father was coming for lunch, Feng Shi's complexion was extremely gray, and her father didn't even want to see her.

On the third day after Yanyan left the house, one of Mrs. Nanyanghou and Feng's mother-in-law was full of resentment, and the other lost her ambition. Qinghehou and Nanyanghou were still good brothers as always.

This night, Yanyan served wine to Qi Yue and the others to practice, and Yuan Xiu brought back from her mother-in-law's room six big girls, including Yinya and Qingying, and six little girls.

It turned out that Yuan Xiu had just made a joke, and was embarrassed to tell her mother-in-law about the selection of a girl in the room. When the princess continued to hand over the housework of the Duke Huguo's mansion, she asked casually: "Have you ever thought about the girl? When you take over the housework, It won’t work if you don’t have a capable girl by your side.”

The princess knows what is in the daughter-in-law's room now, only Zishao is a member of the family. When it comes to the housekeeper, she can barely say a few words when she distributes housework. In addition, the daughter-in-law's dowry is only two girls. After listening to it, I remember that the older one is Huang Ying, who said that she is only about the same age as Zi Shao, and Shuangcao is only nine years old, the same year as Sister Hui. From the perspective of the preparation of the 36 palace ladies, the princess, nine The little girl who is [-] years old is a personal servant. When the daughter-in-law is at her mother's house, she has to take care of many things by herself.

As for Zi Shao, she couldn't satisfy the princess completely. Zi Shao didn't fully understand the housekeepers at home and in the farm shops outside, let alone understand their behavior.

If the daughter-in-law assigns a housework and doesn't know who is suitable to take care of it, Zi Shao's opinion is just a reference.

The princess asked this question to remind Yuanxiu of the importance of maids in Yuanxiu's room. You must know that the princess prepares 36 maids, and there are other maids serving under her command. people.

This can't be blamed on Yuanxiu's inability to recognize. She came here a few times and only looked at one dazzled. It's good to look at this sister, and that sister is also outstanding, so it's easy to remember. The appearance of Bud in front of the mother-in-law is the easiest to remember.

About the girl, the joke was over, Yuan Xiu also asked Yun Zhan carefully, originally wanted to stop for two days, wait until the embarrassment on his face subsided when he mentioned this matter, and then slowly court her mother-in-law.

But when her mother-in-law asked, Yuan Xiu quickly replied: "I wanted to think about it, because my daughter-in-law is afraid that all she wants are the people my mother loves, so if my mother asks, please help my daughter-in-law."

The princess curled her lips after hearing this: "Your husband picked it out, right?"

Yuan Xiu said: "Yes." She secretly thought that there was something in her mother-in-law's expression.

The princess said: "So I said you don't have to ask him. If he knows how to choose the girl to serve, he doesn't have to wait until you are full moon to do it. And why he chooses so much, I guess I can tell you that you should find a marriage for Yin Ya and the others, yes wrong?"

Yuan Xiu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Shizi said so."

The princess curled her lips angrily: "It's true that Yin Ya and the others are maids under my name, but the marriage is not up to the palace to decide. My maids are also my girls after I marry in this mansion. It's very easy to come up with their ideas."

She obviously complained that a daughter-in-law should be with her in awe, but Yuanxiu smiled from the bottom of her heart, and she still smiled: "Mother, please clarify."

The princess smiled slightly: "You don't say that I am a good person, but your husband said this because he was greedy."

Yuan Xiu said with a smile: "From the son to me, I should be filial to my parents. It is not right for people to miss their mothers. Instead, they should send some good people to serve their parents. Since the son is doing this, people who get rid of their mothers must be good. I think there are other reasons, please tell me clearly."

The princess smiled and said: "I didn't express it clearly, I let you see and listen to understand it yourself." Called: "Yinya, Qingying"

The six maids that Yuan Xiu begged for just now lined up one by one, like six delicate and beautiful flowers, one by one they said pleasantly, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

The princess said: "There are people who are short of attendants in the Shizi's room. The Shizi's wife asked me to beg you. I said it's not okay. They all said that I treated Biyan as a daughter, and I didn't treat you badly. When I came here, I was a little girl." , now the brilliance of Chu Luo shines on people, and I give it to people just by begging, as if I don't value you, so I ask you in person, are you willing to go?"

Yin Ya bowed down: "Your Highness is the only one under your knees, and the eldest son is the person His Highness values ​​the most. I have been taught by His Highness that I should go to the Royal Highness's room to serve. But I don't want to leave Your Highness. Please give orders."

The other five people said the same thing. The princess picked up the tea bowl and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"I don't want to let you go either."

There were obvious ripples on the faces of the six girls.

Princess Zhanyan smiled again, and said to Yuanxiu: "But if you open your mouth, they will grow up too, and sooner or later they will leave me, so I will give it to you."

Yuan Xiu stood up and said yes, when she quietly saw the six girls also smile.

The princess asked Yin Ya to go back to the room to pack her bags. In the evening, Mrs. Shizi followed her when she returned to the room. Yin Ya kowtowed to leave, and the princess pouted again: "Did you see that? Everyone has their own hearts, your husband has nothing to worry about." They pointed at you to beg for it because they had already selected someone in your husband's study, and now that they are in your room, the marriage can be fulfilled."

Yuan Xiu deliberated whether she should pretend to be with her mother-in-law's disdain, or continue to hold back her laughter. She chose the latter, and the matter of begging a girl became more and more ridiculous.

Except for the dead son who has already picked a good man, these girls who dare to love have also picked a good man in advance, and their own begging is like a comparison, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

The princess looked at her smile, and smiled again: "But don't be too fooled, you still have to ask me when it comes to housework."

Yuan Xiu continued to pretend to be a respectful daughter-in-law, and the princess said: "Your husband only wins over celebrities for himself, and none of these six people thought of you at all. Now you have Zi Shao in your room and Huang Ying, your dowry, you can take them with you." Yin Ya and the others will also be married next year and the next year. In terms of familiarity with this family, Yin Ya and the others can help you after they get married. Zi Shao has never stayed in my room, and the family members they know are limited. But they all sent Going out, who will wait by your side? When I first saw your little girl, Shuangcao, I thought that if you were not accompanied by a nanny at your mother’s house, everything would be unsatisfactory. Shuangcao was loyal to her when she came with you, but she I'm not familiar with the people in this family. I asked you to choose girls because I chose some girls to teach. In the past two years, Yinya and the others have been with you, so let Yinya and the others teach. When Yinya and the others get married, girls Also teach it, you can use it batch by batch, wouldn't you worry about it."

This was considered a very thoughtful word, Yuan Xiu hurriedly thanked her mother-in-law solemnly, immediately asked her for advice, and took six little girls away from her.

In this way, even if there are all the waiters in Yuanxiu's room?Not yet, the princess said that compared with these little girls, let Yuanxiu continue to choose in the Duke's mansion.

The family of four had dinner together. After dinner, Yun Zhan Yuanxiu went back to his room, followed by twelve other girls, big and small. After the servants of the Huguogong's family found out, they made a noise quietly. Don't run around if you have nothing to do Especially at night, family members and others are not allowed to run around in the mansion, but not running through the door will not prevent people with daughters from discussing happily.

There are also first-class girls, second-class girls and little girls in the Shizi's room. Looking at it now, there were originally three girls in the Shizi's wife's room, Zishao, Huangying and Shuangcao, and six girls were brought back from the princess room. The big girl and the six little girls, regardless of how Shizi's wife Yuanxiu differentiates the big girls into first and second grades, just saying that six little girls are not enough to allocate first and second grade girls.

According to the old practice in this mansion, the first-class girl has two little girls under her control. These two little girls usually serve the first-class girl, and the second-class girl has a little girl under her. The girl who replaced the first and second class in the past few years will not be in a hurry when serving.

The lack of the girl in the Shizi's room is now clear.

Some people may say, why is it not according to the old rules? Why did the family members of the Huguo Mansion know how many girls are still missing until tonight? Are these family members not loyal enough? Are they waiting for the princess to look down on the girl who the daughter of the people refused to give her? .

Before Yuanxiu took Yin Ya and others away, there was a gap in Princess Dayi's room. The princess was supported by the royal family. It is normal that there are more eunuchs than the existing princesses.

Regardless of the modesty of Princess Dayi, or the precedents of the princesses in the past, they refused to provide enough manpower, but repeatedly resigned, saying that some manpower would be reduced.

This is the kind of minister that the emperor chooses and asks him to take an important position. The minister resigns three times, expressing that the minister is incompetent and inexperienced, and it is difficult to take on the important task. Please choose another wise one.After this kind of action is done, I will receive the official seal.

It is such a superficial article.

And as long as the princesses are not too fussy, half of the manpower is enough for the full allocation. Resigning is more like they are putting money on their faces and gaining a reputation for being frugal.

In fact, Qionglou Yuge's can't be regarded as thrifty.

There is another situation, sending someone to the princess room, Yousi pays special attention to it, and only good people can be sent. It is not the kind of palace where there are many maids, who are drawn from this palace or that palace. The maid who was about to be sent to the palace, the princess said she wanted it, and it would be there immediately.

This kind of court lady who will be sent immediately, the princesses are not sure whether they want it or not.

The princesses of the past dynasties are not very unfavorable. When there is a shortage of people, let someone tell Yousi first, set a date, and Yousi will send the roster to see, and the princess will let the mothers around you go to Yousi to pick someone. It's not good and I don't pay for it. On the contrary, it is said that the princess has been wronged in the past six months, and there are fewer people around her. It seems to have saved a lot of money for the royal family.

This is still to put gold on the face. When there is a shortage of manpower, it is better to not overuse it. If you don’t think of it, you may have a troubled censor writing a memorial to praise a certain princess for being frugal and simple, and she is an example for the royal children.
