Nongmen lady Jiang Huhan

Chapter 192
192 Deterrence
Xin Wan pursed her lips and smiled. Xin Cui nodded in agreement and then looked at Xin Wan gratefully.

This 300 taels of silver will give Wang and the two maids a shock, and they should be able to bother her less in the future.

"Is the eldest brother-in-law going to open a carpentry shop?" Xin Cui turned to look at Xin Wan again.

Xin Wan looked at the two surprised maids, and then said nonchalantly: "Yes, it was not agreed some time ago, but now he has almost enough stock in stock, and he can fully support the opening of the shop.

Oh, is this your maid?what is it call? "

Xin Wan looked at Mingrui and asked, thinking that the name was not bad, but it also sounded a bit bookish.

When Mingrui was called, she quickly saluted respectfully. Just now she saw Liu Meng being taught a lesson by the wife behind her in the room.

"In reply to Madam, my name is Mingrui."

"Mingrui? What a good name, it sounds a bit bookish." Xin Wan said with a faint smile.

Mingrui pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a somewhat arrogant voice: "Yes, my father used to be a teacher and opened a private school in the town. Before my hometown was flooded, I often served my father, so I know a few words."

"Oh, I heard that you two are from the south. Do you know Suzhou embroidery?" Xin Wan then asked.

The two people's faces froze, and Wang finally reacted, and then looked at the two of them carefully.

Liu Meng bit her lip and said, "This slave does not know authentic Su embroidery. There are many embroidery methods in the south, but Su embroidery is the most exquisite. The unique skills of Su embroidery are usually passed down from family to family and are rarely passed down to the outside world."

"Me too, I can do embroidery well, but I don't know how to do authentic Suzhou embroidery." Mingrui also whispered.

The two maids looked at Xin Wan with some fear, followed by Xin Cui.

Mingrui originally thought that she could try to gain a foothold in the second room in the future, and being a concubine was better than being a slave. But now it seems that the second young lady is a secretive person, and she actually knows the unique skill of Su embroidery, which she can't compare with.

This kind of skill is famous all over the world. The Tie family must be stupid to straighten her up and divorce such a money-making daughter-in-law!

"Since you don't know how to do it, if you have any special skills at home, you should keep your mouth shut as a slave.

Although the current uncle of the Tie family is a scholar, he still has no official status after all. You should understand the principle of "having a jade in your hands is a crime", especially you, girl Mingrui!Since you can read and write, you should understand the power here.

The Tie family is a kind-hearted family. It is your good fortune that you can enter the Tie family and work as slaves without being harshly criticized, beaten or scolded. There is no such a wealthy farm family in this farmhouse or even in the entire Wuxi Town. "Yuan Qing looked at the two maids and said coldly.

"Who is this?" Mrs. Wang couldn't stand Yuan Qing's behavior, so she looked at Xin Wan.

Xin Wan smiled: "Oh, Yuan Qing, Qing with the prefix bamboo. Yuan Qing hurry up and give the old lady a present."

"Yes." Yuan Qing walked up to Mrs. Wang, knelt down respectfully, and said without being humble or arrogant: "My slave, Yuan Qing, I have met the old lady."

"Ah, Yuan Qing, it's quite similar to Yuan Bao's name. So, get up." Wang was very happy when she saw Yuan Qing being respectful. For the first time, she had the vanity of being a rich old lady.

Looking at the two maids he chose, they seemed to be starving to death except when they were bought. They kowtowed to her in a low voice and said nice words. I had never seen anyone so respectful in the Tie family.

Yuan Qing stood up respectfully, then turned around and knelt in front of Xin Cui, and said in a very soft and gentle tone: "Slave Yuan Qing, I have met the second young lady." When Mrs. Wang heard Yuan Qing's name for Xin Cui, her heart skipped a beat. Waiting for her to say something, Xin Wan interrupted the conversation and said: "Auntie Tie, I see that the Tie family is now a big business and has added two maids. You feel sorry for my second sister. You don't want to keep these two maids." I use it for myself, and I also give it to my second sister.

However, my second sister has given birth to two children in succession, and she will be tired of having three sons in the future. Since the Tie family can afford maids now, I think there is no shortage of words.

Yuan Qing is old and stable. She is the well-educated wife I specially selected for my second sister. She knows the rules and etiquette. Moreover, Yuan Qing worked as a maid to the head wife of a large official residence. The official did something wrong. After his house was ransacked, Yuan Qing was betrayed.

Yuan Qing knows very well the rules, etiquette, education and interpersonal skills of official residences.

I want to put her next to my second sister as a personal mother-in-law. She will help my second sister take care of the children and take good care of her health.

Secondly, I think brother Tienan is a promising person. He will win the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi and then become an official. This is a sure thing. The Tie family will definitely shine in the future.

Although brother-in-law Tiehu does not need to understand the official system, as the second wife of the Tie family, he must understand basic etiquette and human relations.

Yuan Qing is very experienced in this area. I want her to be a mentor to my second sister, so that it won’t look good if Tienan enters the officialdom in the future and makes a joke out of favors, don’t you think? "

Wang was stunned. She didn't expect that Xin Wan would force people into Tie's house. Naturally, she was not happy. This Yuan Qing was a master who was not easy to fool.

And having such a minion in her family is equivalent to leaving an eyesore for Xin Wan. She will have to worry about anything she wants to do in the future.

However, Xin Wan's words put her in a dilemma. Although Xin Wan's actions were a bit unreasonable, her words did make sense.

Now his eldest son is in the best academy in Fucheng. If he takes the imperial examination in two years, he will definitely be an official in the future.

And Yuan Qing has served in official residences, so he is naturally very knowledgeable. Judging from his age, he is also stable. If the Tie family has her to give advice in the future, then she will not be secretly involved in getting along with the wives of those wealthy families. People laughed.

Therefore, Wang was moved, but also a little unwilling. After all, this slave was not her own, and it was obvious that she would not be interested in her in the future.

"How old is Yuan Qing?" Wang asked casually.

"Oh, Yuan Qing is the daughter-in-law of our coachman Wang Daquan. At her age, she naturally needs a mate, and her son will be my family's son in the future.

My second sister has many sons, and it is indispensable to have a loyal and capable servant by her side in the future, so Yuan Qing’s children, regardless of gender, will serve my nephews in the future. Xin Wan said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang was suddenly awakened. She took care of her son, but she forgot about her grandson's generation. When her children grew up, they naturally had to study. There were no bookboys or servants around them, and they would be short according to other people's standards. A lot.

Suddenly, she thought of her eldest son Tienan, who was studying. He had no book boy or servant around him. He studied in the academy all year round and had to do his own meals and laundry. Xin Wan's words reminded her.

Looking at the second grandson sitting in the car again, I thought that Xin Wan was indeed a capable girl, she could think so far and be so courageous.

Why hasn't she thought about having children in the family? The children of this wealthy family are the most loyal to the master's family. After all, the lives of the whole family are in the hands of the master's family. Anyone who causes trouble will bring disaster to the whole family. , the service will be more attentive and appropriate.

And having grown up with the young master and having children together, the affection is naturally different. Only such a person can be trusted and the most loyal, even if it is a maid.
