Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 205 The Maid's Struggle (1)

Qin Hongjuan was born in a famous family, needless to say that she was dressed in rich clothes and fine food since she was a child, moreover, all the close-fitting items were made by the Fuchu herself, from food to use, all were served by a special person.

Nanny Song had the honor of meeting Qin's several times before. At that time, she came to admire the flowers in the garden, followed by a group of maids in red and green, full of momentum.What's more, her personal servant girl, Wenzhu, is also first-class and beautiful, beautiful and handy... Nanny Song's thoughts drifted farther and farther, but Shen Yuechen's expression changed slightly, "Then, Miss Wenzhu, now Where are you now?"

Nanny Song replied truthfully: "My maidservants don't know very well. After Qin's death, most of the maidservants around her returned to their mother's house and stopped working in our house."

Shen Yuechen heard the words, and thought: That's a pity, the Qin family is in trouble now, up and down, everyone can't protect themselves.

Shen Yuechen then said indifferently: "So that's how it is. Then I'd like to trouble Mammy to help me sort it out, go back and pick a few maids who are clean and neat, and then collect nectar and dew regularly every day, as well as various petals and pollen. They were all packed according to different types, and then sent to my yard in a unified way. Today I came here temporarily to find you, and the time is a bit rushed, so I will give you seven days to recruit people."

Nanny Song hesitated a little and said, "Yes, I know about it. However, there is always a shortage of manpower in the conservatory, but I will do my best."

"Seven days is not a short time. However, I know that you all have errands, so if you do things for me, I will naturally give you an extra reward. Moreover, those who are capable will work harder and work harder. You get more for your work. Don't worry, I just never treat my own people badly."

Seeing what she said, Nanny Song nodded her head and said, "Yes, it is a blessing for a slave to be able to work for Grandma, and a slave must do her duty with all her heart."

Shen Yuechen smiled in satisfaction, and then gave Chunming a wink, asking her to give Nanny Song a little money.

"This is a wish from Grandma, Mammy, take it for tea."

Nanny Song took the reward and just saluted to thank her, but there was still no smile on her face.

Shen Yuechen said with a faint smile: "It happened suddenly today, Mammy has worked hard. If there is anything going on in the future, just send someone to report it."

Nanny Song responded and went without procrastinating.

Seeing her leave the room, Chunming said: "This Nanny Song is indeed as the servants said, her face is very cold."

Shen Yuechen said: "She looks a little cold, but as long as things are done well."

She doesn't like people who talk too much, ability is the most important thing.

Chun Ming nodded approvingly: "Miss ordered someone to collect petals, do you want to make some rouge yourself?"

Shen Yuechen smiled lightly: "I'm afraid I don't have that kind of ability. But it's good to try, before I clean up the shop, I still have some time to think about it."

She has her own ideas, but she still has to try it herself to see if it works.

In the past, every time Shen Yuechen went to the Changchun Garden to enjoy the scenery and flowers, he would involuntarily think that it would be a pity if the garden was full of flowers and flowers just to look at.If you can make the best use of everything, it's even better.

Although the Zhu family's house is not very big, it has two gardens, one is Changchun Garden, and the other is Jingfang Garden next to the South Courtyard.The two gardens are filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, which is just right for her to try her handicraft first.

Because of the flower house, some flowers will be sent every few days to decorate the house, such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, orchids, crabapple flowers and so on.

Shen Yuechen grew up in the monastery and was only used to smelling sandalwood, so he rarely used other incense in the room.

If you have to use incense, it is better to use natural floral fragrance.Normally, Shen Yuechen would always carry a sachet or sachet made of flower petals on her body, the faint fragrance would make her feel very relaxed.

Shen Yuechen took another sip of tea and said, "In a few days, I'm going to visit the shop again, and you and Cui Xin should go with me."

Chun Ming was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Really, I thank you miss."

Seeing her happy look, Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, turned to look at the bright spring scenery outside the window, and said: "The outside world is so big, it is always boring in this square yard, it is really boring, you can go out more It's good to walk around."

After lunch, Xiao Tao sat quietly in the room alone.

At this time, Zhu Jinlun has not come back yet, she can be alone for a while quietly without being disturbed by anyone, and she doesn't have to force herself to smile to please anyone.

It had been an hour since she came back from the old lady's place, but her nervousness had not been eased in the slightest.

Perhaps, because the weather was getting hotter, she suddenly felt a little stuffy in the room, and wanted to go out for a walk, even if it was just for a moment, to get some air.

She had just stood up when she saw the curtains in the outer room move, and a small figure walked in, and said timidly, "What do you want, Miss?"

Xiao Tao heard the sound, looked at her and smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I just want to go out for a walk by myself."

She was indeed an obedient child. Ever since she came here, she had been guarding her and staring at her for a moment... Xiao Tao didn't give her a new name for a long time, but just called her Xia Jiu.She said it was her nickname because she was ninth in the family.

Xia Jiu is the maid sent by Du Juan to take care of her. She is quite diligent in her work, but she is too timid to speak loudly.

Xia Jiu hesitated and said, "The servant girl will go with the girl..."

Xiaotao shook her head: "I just want to sit in the garden for a while by myself."

She is not used to being waited on, nor used to being watched her every move.

She didn't know what Du Juan told Xia Jiu back then, but it was obvious that the child was frightened by her, that's why he followed her every step of the way.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tao couldn't help frowning, feeling a little annoyed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Du Juan walking towards her room.

Du Juan just found out that the old lady had summoned Xiaotao, and she was a little impatient for a while, so she found an excuse to come and have a look.

Xiaotao sighed silently, before she could speak, Du Juan came forward with a smile on her face and said, "This is the fruit that the Second Madam just rewarded, I brought it for my sister as I saw it was fresh."

Xiaotao smiled lightly: "Thank you, sister, I'm very full from lunch, you should save it."

The smile on Du Juan's face remained unabated: "Why? My sister doesn't like to eat red bayberries? That's right, there must be a lot of delicious food at the old lady's place. My sister has more knowledge, so naturally she doesn't like these things."

Xiaotao's face froze when she heard this, and she knew that she came here to find fault again.

She was always like this, taking advantage of Zhu Jinlun's absence to make things difficult for herself.Then, after Zhu Jinlun came back, he pretended to be gentle and friendly.

I have to say that although she is very hypocritical, she is very powerful, even when she curses, she smiles, and her voice is very soft, so that no one around her will notice, even if she wants to sue, she will not be able to catch her. .

Xiao Tao didn't want to get entangled with her, she didn't want to provoke her, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, you've worked hard, well, I'll accept these fruits." After speaking, she stretched out her hand to catch the fruit plate in Du Juan's hand.

However, Du Juan let go of his hand suddenly, and the fruit plate fell to the ground in an instant, and the red bayberry rolled all over the ground, covered with a lot of dust.

Xiaotao was secretly startled, before she could speak, she heard Du Juan say again: "Sister is so arrogant, she doesn't even look down on the fruit offered by the second lady, if you don't want to eat it, don't eat it, why throw it on the ground, it's in vain Spoiled things."

Seeing her beating her upside down and lying with her eyes open, Xiaotao couldn't help but raise her voice immediately: "Sister, did you come here to deliberately find fault again today? I didn't throw the fruit, but you let go of it on purpose. There are so many fruit here. Looking at it with both eyes, why do you have to do this?"

Du Juan said with a faint smile: "Yes, everyone is watching, but what they saw was you throwing it, not me." After finishing speaking, she glanced at the two little maids behind her from the corner of her eye, raised her eyebrows and asked Said: "Who do you two say threw the fruit plate?"

The two said almost in unison: "It's Miss Xiaotao."

Xiaotao was taken aback when she heard the words, she just felt it was very absurd.

She turned around and looked at Xia Jiu who had been standing behind her. She bit her lips and was about to ask a question, but Du Juan said in advance: "Xia Jiu, come and talk."

Xia Jiu bit her lip and hesitated to say anything. Du Juan gave him a hard look, and finally let her speak: "It's Miss Xiaotao..."

When Xiaotao heard this, her face turned pale.

Seeing this, Du Juan smiled contentedly, she walked over slowly, stepped on the carambola directly, looked at Xiaotao and continued to smile, "Don't worry, sister, it's just some fruit, I won't be stingy to complain to the second lady of."

Xiaotao looked directly into her smiling eyes, and said impatiently, "What exactly do you want?"

Du Juan sneered: "It's okay, I just wanted to come and see you. Although these fruits are dirty, they are still the second lady's wish. Aren't you going to pick them up?"

Xiaotao glanced at her, "You insist on bullying me like this? Targeting me everywhere?"

Du Juan raised his eyebrows, stared at her beautiful fair face, and suddenly suppressed his smile. "What's the point of bullying you, a little girl? I'm just kindly reminding you. Don't be too happy, you're so proud that you want to cock your tail. You and I were both sold into Zhu's family, not married."

Xiaotao asked back: "What's the matter?"

She stared at Du Juan bitterly, she really didn't understand how she offended her so deeply?If, just because of Zhu Jinlun's favor, he is so aggressive, then the conflict between the two will only deepen in the days to come.

Seeing that she dared to fight back, Du Juan said in a sharp tone: "Although you are favored right now, it is only a flash in the pan. When the new grandma passes the door, there will be no place for you to stand. When the second young master gets tired of you , I will take care of you when the time comes. If you don’t want to suffer in the future, just be obedient and obedient like them now.”

In this yard, Du Juan has been with Zhu Jinlun the longest and knows Zhu Jinlun best.Based on her understanding of Zhu Jinlun, although the second young master is a person who is self-willed and careless at times, he is a person who wants to do great things.Therefore, he never devoted himself to women for too long, just like he did to her in the past... When Xiao Tao heard this, her body trembled slightly, her face became even uglier, her eyes turned red with anger.
