Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 193 Nobles (2)

Shen Yuechen said: "That's right, now that grandma is back, I have another reason to sneak around."

Back then, when she left Beijing, the old lady said she was going back to Texas.And this time, the old man is already on his way.Shen Yuechen knew that she came back in such a hurry, it was just because she was worried about herself.

After dinner, Zhu Jintang went to the study as usual.

Shen Yuechen did not accompany the children as usual, but took Mama Wu to the South Courtyard to see Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Qin.

I haven't been here for a long time, and the deserted atmosphere in the yard has not changed at all, and the flowers, plants and trees have hardly been taken care of, and they all look messy.

As soon as Shen Yuechen came in, Madam Liu, who was in charge, greeted her, and said with a smile on her face, "Grandma, why are you here?"

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Well, I was thinking about walking around, so I came here to have a look. Are Sun and Qin okay?"

Mammy Liu pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Oh, everything is fine. However, it's better not to see grandma, so as not to listen to their nonsense, dirty eyes and ears."

Shen Yuechen immediately asked: "Are there enough people in the yard?"

When Mother Liu heard this, she quickly shook her head: "There is still not enough manpower. If it is an ordinary master, one maidservant will be enough for each person, with basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. However, one of them is crazy, the other has a big temper, and they are not easy to serve. Lord."

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen exchanged a glance with Wu Ma, and said, "Before, didn't you find someone else? Didn't you find someone suitable?"

Mother Liu replied: "Yes, but they are all newbies, and they need to be trained slowly." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, hurriedly moved to Shen Yuechen's side, and whispered: "Dear Grandma, I think you haven't heard of it yet. Among the new maids, there is a girl named Xiao Taoer who was picked up by the second master for some reason, and was taken away just this afternoon..."

Shen Yuechen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said lightly: "Really? Then it seems that you don't have enough manpower here?"

Seeing that her reaction was flat, and she looked neither surprised nor surprised, Mammy Liu was a little disappointed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it seems that I have to make two more trips."

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "Buy what you want, choose what you want. Our Zhu family has a big business, and we don't need a few decent servants. No matter how poor Sun and Qin are, they are still the uncle's woman and the Zhu family's concubine. Room, although today is different from the past, but we can't be negligent, so as not to make people feel chilling."

When Mother Liu heard this, she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, grandma is kind, and this servant knows what to do."

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, and said again: "By the way, what's the name of the maid you said was favored by the second master just now?"

Seeing that she was interested in this matter again, Mother Liu quickly replied, "That girl was originally called Chuntao, but the maid thought her name was too gaudy, so she changed it to "Xiaotao"."

Xiaotao... Shen Yuechen recited the name silently in her heart, and then said with a faint smile, "Well, just hearing the name, I think he is a lovable child."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Mother Liu's chatterbox immediately opened up, she purposely lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, you don't know, that girl is quite pretty, and when she was bought here, the slaves were a little bit I was worried that the girl's appearance would tempt the men in the mansion... The servant was worried that she would be a trouble, so she asked her to do some chores that were not easy to meet people, but it turned out that she was actually a scheming person, and she was always doing nothing. Bump into the eyes of the masters..."

However, after only two days in the mansion, she can attract the attention of the second master Zhu Jinlun, saying that she is useless by any means, who can believe it?

Seeing her saying so much in one breath, Shen Yuechen had slight impatience in his eyes, but he still asked casually: "Since you know she is a trouble, why did you buy her in?"

Grandma Liu sighed in embarrassment: "Ah, Aunt Sun has been ill all the time, and the maid who serves by her side has to read the prescriptions every day to prepare medicines, so she must be able to read and write. That girl Xiaotao can write and read. The servant girl caught her with a single glance."

Mother Liu's words were very dishonest. At the beginning, she was also worried that Xiao Tao's appearance was too ostentatious. Once she entered the mansion, she would definitely be spotted by her master in the future.However, because she took advantage of Ren Zizi privately, she also turned a blind eye and closed her eyes, and simply bought her together, and made more money by the way.

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Hearing what you said, it can be seen that the child is still educated. No wonder the second master fell in love with her. This is also her blessing."

Liu Mama smiled but said, "That girl has met a noble person. The second master has a gentle temperament and has both talents and looks. It is of course a great blessing that she can serve such a master."

Shen Yuechen smiled lightly, and without further ado, she only glanced at the opposite room, and continued: "Since Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Qin's condition is not good, then I won't go there, so you can take care of them."

Nanny Liu nodded in response, saluted her, and sent her out of the hospital respectfully.

Shen Yuechen walked out of the south courtyard slowly, looked up at the beautiful spring, and smiled slightly: "Mother Wu, the weather is good today, after you go back, take the children out for a stroll."

Wu Ma nodded: "Yes, the best time of the year has arrived."

Shen Yuechen patted her feet a little slower, deliberately walked side by side with Wu Ma, and when she was about to reach out to hold her arm, Wu Ma said: "Miss, don't let anyone see you."

Shen Yuechen took her arm directly, patted the back of her hand, and said: "It's okay, my legs will be a little sore, mom will help me."

Wu Ma nodded silently, walked quietly with her for a while, looked up at the surrounding scenery, and said lightly: "Miss's method seems to have worked."

Shen Yuechen looked down at the scattered petals on the ground, and said softly: "It's hard to say now, maybe it will work, maybe it won't."

Wu Ma said: "Miss has always been very accurate in seeing people, and it's the same this time."

Shen Yuechen looked at the peach blossoms that stretched in front of him, pink and white, beautiful without any blemishes.

"Delicate flower, delicate person. The child is as perfect as the flower, and anyone who sees it will like it."

Shen Yuechen stretched out her slender fingers, tapped the stamen, but accidentally knocked off a petal, and said softly: "Let's not talk about that child in the future, and treat everything as if it never happened. Whether she goes or stays in the future depends on the child's ability."

Wu Ma replied: "It's natural. That child has nothing to do with Miss."

The chance between people is wonderful and wonderful.

The grace of a meal back then, and the friendship now, everything seems to be a coincidence, but it is not a coincidence.

A beautiful child should not be a slave, she deserves a better life, but they just gave her a chance.

Wu Ma still clearly remembered the scene of meeting Chuntao on the street that day.Her clothes are disheveled, her body is messy, and her head and face are disheveled, making people reluctant to take a second look.However, Mama Wu still noticed her because she has a pair of very attractive eyes.Although her face was covered with dust, her facial features were exquisite. If she washed her face clean, she would definitely be a beautiful little girl.

Wu Ma originally planned to continue walking, but she turned back before taking a few steps.She bought a few steamed buns from vendors along the street, and gave them to the children who were being sold on the street. Unexpectedly, before she could make a sound, all the food in her hands had been robbed, and she almost scratched her hands. .

Standing in the corner, she didn't grab it because she was a beat late, and stood there annoyed and aggrieved, her eyes downcast without saying a word.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Mama Wu thought she would cry, and was about to turn around and buy some more buns, when she saw the child suddenly pounced on her companion, snatched the half-bitten bun from her hand, and stuffed it voraciously. into his mouth.

Wu Ma was slightly taken aback, only to realize that she was the person that young lady needed, then she looked at the old woman beside her and asked, "What's the child's name?"

The old woman greeted her with a smile, showing her yellow teeth: "These children are all from the village. They have no name or surname. If you like one, just throw down half a penny and take it back. You can name her whatever you want." become."

As soon as she finished speaking, the child suddenly said: "My name is Li Chuntao, the spring of spring, the peach of peach blossom."

When the old woman heard the words, she was immediately unhappy, and her expression became a little ferocious. She raised her hand and gave her a slap, and reprimanded: "You bastard with no eyesight, stop talking."

Wu Ma hated seeing the child being beaten the most, so she hurriedly said, "If you have something to say, just talk about it. You don't need to do it. I'm just asking."

The old woman hurriedly came up to her again, and fawned: "Oh, this eldest sister, you look rich and honored, and you must be a kind and kind person. If you really feel sorry for this child, you can just pay a little money to take it back. , at any rate, I can also be used as an animal envoy..."

Wu Ma looked at Chuntao, saw that she was looking at her expectantly, hesitated for a moment, then took out the silver bag from her sleeve.

Her actions made the old woman's eyes shine. Who knows, Wu Ma took out two taels of silver and put it in her hand, saying: "This silver is not used to buy her. Give this child a bath, dress up, and the next morning." Ask someone to send her to Zhu's house to see if she can be selected as a maid. If she is selected, I will give you two more taels of silver later."

The old woman was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect such a good thing to happen in this world.Moreover, she had never encountered such a strange transaction before, she hurriedly clenched her money and said: "You are... okay, money is easy to do, you are a distinguished guest, so you can do whatever you want? The morning after tomorrow, I will definitely send this child there on time, but the Zhu family never accepts girls of unknown origin, I'm afraid..."

Wu Ma said lightly: "You don't have to worry about it, just dress up this child cleanly. Then you will benefit from it."

Hearing the words, the old woman quickly responded, turned her head and patted Chuntao on the shoulder, and reminded: "Stupid thing, don't kowtow to your nobleman yet."

Chun Tao seemed to understand, and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Wu Ma halfway: "Son, I am not your nobleman, and it will not be too late to kneel down when I see your real nobleman in the future."

Thinking of this, Wu Ma withdrew her thoughts, exhaled softly and said, "It seems that we have chosen the right person, she is smarter than we imagined."

"Mom has always had a unique vision." Shen Yuechen followed with a smile: "Look, the peach blossoms here are really blooming, send someone to pick a few branches and take them back."
