Yutai Bi

Chapter 91 Promotion
She was originally a carefree mother in charge, tall and tall, and when she carried out Mrs. Li, she showed off her power again, which immediately shocked the carefree girl and woman to shy away and dare not go forward.

"Third lady! How could you treat me like this?!" Mrs. Xu looked at Cen Sanniang with a sad look on her face.

The hall was full of girls and women, everyone was terrified, only Cen Sanniang stayed out of the matter and ate as usual.Xu's heart became cold, "I nursed you and raised your nanny! Are you unwilling to even look at your nanny now? The year the master left, if Baicao and I hadn't served you carefully, we would have begged for three Mrs. Fang, San Niangzi, can you return to the Li family in Chang'an alive? Baicao and I have saved your life, and you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge to avenge your favor!"

Xu's prestige towards the servants instantly turned into mourning.She sat down on the ground, patted her legs and kept calling Li's name, talking about the hard work and grievances of these years.

Gradually, the two wives who were holding Baicao let go of their hands, and Baicao threw herself on Xu's body crying and pulling her: "Stop talking, mom, the third lady doesn't want us anymore, she won't want us anymore. Let's go Bar."

Cen Sanniang turned a deaf ear, swallowed the mustache, sipped the soup, and said calmly, "Someone go and call Mrs. Fang who is in charge of the kitchen."

Then a little girl ran out cleverly.After a while, he led Mrs. Fang in.

Mrs. Fang, who is in charge of the kitchen, has good cooking skills and a loud voice.Once majestic, he picked up two kitchen knives and drove away the marriage proposal of the third-class housekeeper in the mansion.Just finished dinner and was happily holding a sea bowl to eat with everyone in the kitchen. Hearing Ah Qiu say that Cen Sanniang called her, she didn't know what happened, so she wiped the oil on her mouth and came.

She entered the hall and performed a blessed ceremony: "This servant has seen the third lady."

"You will be the mother in charge of Ziziju from now on. Continue to take care of the kitchen, don't spoil my appetite." Cen Sanniang said.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

"If you can't do it, I'll replace you."

Mrs. Fang said ah, seeing Xu sitting on the ground with tears on her face, she knew that Xu had offended Cen Sanniang.Looking at the servants in the room, all of them looked strange.Mrs. Fang was a little confused: "Could it be that the old lady didn't prepare dinner, and the third lady came to entertain the slaves?"

Cen Sanniang was serious: "Mother Fang only said if you can do it, if you can't do it, I'll change someone else, if you can do it, it's you!"

Only now did Mrs. Fang believe it, and kowtowed to Cen Sanniang with a happy face: "Your maidservant can do it!" After kowtowing, she stood up and shouted at the whispering crowd, "Whoever refuses to be disciplined, I will throw her into the slop bucket to soak!"

The hall was immediately quiet.

Mrs. Xu grabbed Baicao's hand and stood up from the ground: "Third lady, you actually humiliated me by asking a woman in charge of the kitchen to be in charge. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will kill you it's here!"

"Okay. I'll make it clear to you today!" Cen Sanniang was also angry, and shouted, "Mother Fang, go and call everyone in Zizaiju. Lock the courtyard door, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. If you don’t come, you won’t be a person who lives comfortably in the future.”

Although Mrs. Fang believed Cen Sanniang's words to promote her, she was still not at ease.At this time, when Xu Shi said that she was the pickle woman in charge of the kitchen, she had the urge to use a kitchen knife.She stretched out her finger and casually pointed to a girl who was away from her and told her to call for someone.He reported to Cen Sanniang: "The people in the kitchen only obey the orders of the old lady, and the servants call them in person."

After a while, everyone came together.

Cen Sanniang personally went to the inner hall to get the money box out and put it on the case table.She took the main seat in the main hall, and Mother Fang consciously stood beside her, sneering at Xu Shi proudly.

Cen Sanniang looked at the people in the hall and saw the disdainful expressions of some maids and women, she couldn't help but smiled: "Ms. Xu first served my mother, and later became my nanny. She saved my life and served her faithfully. Me. I stepped down from her stewardship, and I will repay her kindness. I didn't want to say anything more. But if I didn't say anything, it would hurt my reputation. Mother Fang, since I mentioned you as the steward mother, how many people are there? You have to answer me."

Mrs. Fang blessed her and said, "What does the third lady want to ask?"

Cen Sanniang asked: "As a slave and maidservant, if you see your master in danger, should you serve him wholeheartedly?"

Without even thinking about it, Mrs. Fang replied: "This is the duty of a slave."

Cen Sanniang said again: "As a slave and maidservant, if you have the trust of the master, can you make decisions for the master in everything?"

Mrs. Fang replied: "The trust of the master is the blessing of the servants. No matter how much you want to make in your heart, you have to get the consent of the master. I have never heard of any slaves who can make decisions for the master. It is a joke to say it."

Cen Sanniang opened the money box and took out a bag of silver: "How about being a slave and maidservant? Those who come forward to answer the question will get one ingot of silver per person."

The silver shone attractively under the light.

The girl who had gone to call Mrs. Fang gritted her teeth and stood up: "My servant, Aqiu, has met San Niangzi. Going back to San Niangzi's words, as a slave and maidservant, I put the master first and serve her wholeheartedly."

Cen Sanniang picked up a piece of silver and said, "Your reward."

Ah Qiu happily stepped forward to pick it up, holding the ingot of silver tightly, her heart beating violently.

"Is there anyone else to add?"

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and in less than a cup of tea, the silver ingots on the table were all divided.

Mrs. Xu and Baicao stood alone in the hall, and gradually lowered their heads when they heard everyone talking about their duties as slaves.

Cen Sanniang looked at the two of them and let out a long breath: "Xu Shi, Baicao, you both heard clearly? Do you need me to explain to you?"

Xu's knees softened, and tears rushed out: "Third lady, this servant is loyal to you, and this servant went over you to make up his own mind and go to find the old man, it's all for your own good!"

When Cen Sanniang heard this sentence, she wanted to shout up to the sky because of your annoyance.Nima, I met a living mother Tang Seng! "Mother Fang, do you think Mrs. Xu is right?"

Mrs. Fang hated Xu's previous words about the dirty woman who was in charge of the kitchen, and spat hard: "What is for the master's good. The third lady obviously doesn't like it!"

"Yes, I don't like this sentence." Cen Sanniang said, "It's very simple, Mrs. Xu, you think you are doing it for my own good, but I don't like it."

Xu was in a hurry: "Third lady, this servant is really thinking of you, for your own good!"

Cen Sanniang was tired, and pointed to Aqiu and said, "Follow me out for a walk. Mother Fang, I leave this place to you to take care of. Send Mrs. Xu and Baicao back to their room. What I said to you two before still counts."

She got up and went out, and Ah Qiu followed cleverly.

The evening wind blew the sound of shouting and cursing in the hall behind him.Cen Sanniang pouted.Zizai Ju can compete with Xu's tall stature, only Mrs. Fang, whose waist is as big as a bucket, dares to handle a kitchen knife.

"Aqiu, what are you best at? There are no useless people around me. Don't tell me that you are not good at anything except loyalty." Cen Sanniang took a deep breath of the cool night breeze of late autumn, and sat in the pavilion. down.

Aqiu stood in a well-regulated manner, and replied softly: "The servant girl is very good at shopping. The sisters in the courtyard like to drag the servant girl when they go shopping in the market."

"Are you saying that you are a good bargainer?" Cen Sanniang understood, "This is also considered a skill. You replace Baicao first, and if you can't do well, I will replace it immediately."

Aqiu plopped and knelt down in front of her happily: "Thank you, Third Lady, I will do a good job."

Being so active, it seems that the first-class girls are treated well.Look at this girl who was the first to obediently run to call Mrs. Fang, she was also very clever.She doesn't need to be stupid, she needs to be smart and easy to do things, but she doesn't need to give emotion anymore.Maintain a good relationship between superiors and subordinates.Cen Sanniang thought about it, and asked about Ah Qiu's background: "Get up. Where are you from? Are your parents there? How did you sell it to the Li family?"

Aqiu stood up and replied with a smile: "The servant is from Chang'an County, her family is poor, her parents are there, and she also has a brother and sister-in-law. Half of the monthly bill of the servant is to be taken home. The servant is only a third-class girl, only five The monthly rule of one hundred coins. If you become a big girl, you will have fifteen hundred coins."

Cen Sanniang asked her curiously: "Calculate for me, how much does a very ordinary family need for food and drink for a month?"

"One load of firewood costs ten Wen, and it costs four in a month. In winter, I buy four more baskets of charcoal for 120 Wen. Rice and noodles cost 150 Wen each. Oil and salt cost 810 Wen. Vegetables and meat are [-] Wen. For [-] Wen, you will be able to Eat enough to survive the winter. If you have a tael of silver, you can save cloth for the New Year and make new clothes." Aqiu calculated accounts very quickly, without any hesitation.She looked at Cen Sanniang after finishing the calculation, "Third lady, is the servant counting right?"

The gap between rich and poor is too great.Cen Sanniang thought with emotion, she lost 20 taels of silver in two bets at Yuchi Mansion.According to Ah Qiu's calculations, he is a person who knows how to live.She said to Aqiu: "Go back and hand over Baicao. If you do well, I will reward you extra on New Year's Day. If you don't do well, I will replace you. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The road in life is long, and those who are afraid of loneliness are eager to have a companion, male or female.No one can guarantee that she or he can always be with him.

Cen Sanniang broke into this time and space, and when she opened her eyes and woke up, she was in awe of the heaven and the earth.It was this awe that made her hide her inappropriate temperament such as pride, vigor, flamboyance, anger, and sadness.

But now she discovers that people are born unequal.What kind of thing is it to live like a servant in trembling after taking the life of a young lady!
