The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 122
Zhou Rui's family was a little dissatisfied seeing Aunt Zhou, but remembered Mrs. Wang's order.He hastened to smooth things over and said, "These are carefully selected. Your status is different now. The maids you use should also be carefully selected."

What Aunt Zhou heard from Zhou Rui's family made sense, besides, she didn't understand these things.Thinking that this is the rule of Jia's house, the girls from Mrs. Wang's place stand out one by one.

So Aunt Zhou randomly chose three of the little girls.

Zhou Rui's family saw that Aunt Zhou had finished selecting candidates, so they turned around and said to Chuncao and the others, "Congratulations to the three girls. From now on, each of them will receive a monthly payment of one tael of silver, and they will all be promoted to be maidservants."

Chuncao, Qiaolian and others were very surprised by the sudden good news.Especially Qiao Lian and Xia Mai who used to be third-class maidservants, but now they have become first-class maids.From now on, the cost of food and clothing will be very different from before.

Qiao Lian is considered the most clever among them, she changed her mind and understood the reason behind it.They can now be said to have attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven alone.Their uncle is now the biggest official in the Rongguo Mansion, and the people around them are naturally also honored.

"It's not all because of Madam's kindness that we have today, otherwise we can't have today because of what we want." Qiaolian kept saying that she was grateful to Mrs. Wang.

Zhou Rui's family saw that Qiaolian was so good at talking, and said with a smile on her face: "The girls are today, and they did it by themselves. Otherwise, Madam would not see it even if she wanted to be promoted."

Then Zhou Rui's family said a few words to Aunt Zhou, and took the rest of the girls away.

Aunt Zhou led everyone into the main room, and sat on a low couch next to the window, Qiaolian obediently stood beside her, beating her shoulders.Chuncao couldn't help curling her lips when she saw Qiaolian's appearance.

Only Xia Mai hadn't reacted from the surprise just now, why did she suddenly become a maid?I can sit on an equal footing with several people in my wife's room.

Aunt Zhou looked at the three little girls who followed, and asked, "What are your names? How old are you?"

One of the older ones, with big watery eyes, stood up and knelt down first, and said in a soft voice, "My servant's maiden name is Li, and her nickname is Xing'er. I kowtow to my aunt."

Seeing Xing'er's behavior, the remaining two people also reacted, knelt down together, kowtowed to Aunt Zhou, and each introduced themselves.

"My aunt's maidservant's surname is Li, and her name is Cuihua." This girl looks good, but she looks a little demented.

"Slave Zhang Cuilian, please greet Auntie." The last girl seemed to speak quickly, she was a straightforward girl.

Aunt Zhou rubbed her brows. She had never had so many people serve her before, and she didn't know how to arrange them.

Seeing that she had no idea for a while, Qiaolian whispered in her ear beside her: "It's better to let them do some chores outside, the three of us are enough for the house."

Aunt Zhou nodded, and said to the three of them in a gentle tone: "We don't have many things in the house, so the three of you will help Chuncao and the other three, and by the way, clean the house, sweep the yard, and cook in the kitchen. Yes. Let the three of them do the things in the house."

It was Xing'er and the three of them who agreed together, "Got it."

"Xia Mai, take the three of them to the wing and find a room for them to live in." Aunt Zhou then ordered.

Xia Mai has recovered now, and when she heard Aunt Zhou's order, she quickly agreed.Then he said to a new girl, "Come with me, I'll find you a room." Then he walked out proudly in front of them.

The three girls followed Xia Mai out, and Qiaolian saw the three of them going out, so she quietly said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I don't think the three of them came here with good intentions."

Aunt Zhou looked at her inexplicably, not understanding what she meant just now.

"Auntie, think about it, every family has maids for work, and they are looking for them according to the appearance of those few people. This is not looking for a maid, it is clearly looking for an aunt, and they are always being spoiled by the uncle." Qiao Lian was on the side. Explain that the eyes keep rolling.

Aunt Zhou and Chuncao next to her, what she said made sense. Those three didn't look like they were working, and they were somewhat similar to Aunt Zhao.

Now they don't understand what Mrs. Wang means to give her so many beautiful girls.When Jia Ke comes back one day, who should he fall in love with?Even fell in love with it.If not, Jia Ke will sink in this gentle village.

Aunt Zhou thought about it, her hands clenched into fists involuntarily.But in the end she let go. She still knows Jia Ke very well. Since practicing martial arts, she has a very strong self-discipline. She has stayed with Chuncao and Qiaolian for several years, and she has not deviated from the behavior. I think the concentration is still very good. .

Chuncao was the first to follow Aunt Zhou, and she also knew Aunt Zhou best. Seeing this, Aunt Zhou was very anxious to compromise.Although the uncle has already promised her to be his aunt, isn't this something that hasn't been done yet?Originally, there was a Qiaolian to fight, and she was troublesome enough.Now three more beauties have come, will this still let her live?

Chuncao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she found a solution when she turned her eyes, and then she said to herself: "When you mentioned this matter, I reminded me of my uncle. I don't know how my uncle is doing by himself now." ? I don’t know how to eat and sleep. Is there anyone to take care of me? Is it fat or thin? How can a big man take care of himself?”

Aunt Zhou listened to Chuncao talking to herself, and couldn't help feeling sad.The son has been away for half a year. Although he is going to be an official, he is good at home every day, but it is difficult to go out every day. He is used to being waited on since he was a child. Who will take care of him now?Thinking about it, I couldn't help crying.

With Qiaolian's cleverness, as soon as Chuncao opened her mouth, she knew what was going on.It's just coaxing Aunt Zhou to beg the master and send her to the border to serve the master.I'm afraid what I'm thinking in my heart is just getting the moon first.When the uncle comes back from the border, she may have become an aunt.

Naturally, Qiaolian couldn't let Chuncao take the lead, so she followed Chuncao's words and said, "Yes, my cousin has been taken care of by the two of us all these years. Now I'm alone outside, and no one waits for me to dress and eat. Now I don't know how thin I have become. How is it? Thinking about it makes me anxious."

When Chuncao heard Qiaolian answer her words, she gave her a hard look, which meant that you are everywhere.

Qiaolian was not to be outdone, looked at her contemptuously, and answered her with her eyes, I will not let you take the lead.

Aunt Zhou didn't notice the exchange of eyes between the two of them at all, she was immersed in the atmosphere of worrying about Jia Ke.Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then said to Chuncao, "I will go to ask the master tomorrow and send you to the uncle. There is no better than home, and it must be hard. This time I have wronged you. I just don’t know if you want it? "

After hearing Aunt Zhou's words, Chuncao's eyes sparkled with excitement. How could there be any reluctance?
"Auntie, I am willing. Don't worry, leave the uncle to me, and I will take good care of him."

Qiaolian heard that Aunt Zhou only mentioned to let Chuncao go, she didn't mean to let her go. She knew that Aunt Zhou loved her, but this was not what she wanted.

Looking at Aunt Zhou's today, she couldn't help but think of her own tomorrow.She must not let the spring grass take the lead.

Qiaolian pinched herself tightly, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she choked up and said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I miss my cousin too. I stayed with him for so long, and we suddenly separated , I haven’t seen you for almost half a year. I don’t know why, sometimes I cry when I think about it. I also want to go and see my cousin, do you think it’s okay?” After speaking, she looked at Aunt Zhou expectantly.
