Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 10

When a big family marries a daughter-in-law, the family doesn't care about upbringing, but appearance becomes second.Generally, the appearance of the first daughters is more dignified and ordinary. It does not mean that there are no beauties, but there are relatively few such first daughters. After all, their mothers do not become mistresses based on their appearance.It turns out that there are quite a few beautiful girls among the concubines. After all, they marry wives and virtuous women, and accept concubines and beauty, so the appearance of the concubine girls is indeed better than that of the concubine daughters. One reason for one.

Although the appearance of Shuhui, the eldest daughter of the Yongning Hou Mansion, is not bad among a bunch of concubines, the appearance of the second daughter, Shuning, is also good. It's not bad at all, and maybe even more attractive because of the temperament around her.

"Second girl, the eldest girl from Zuo Xiang's family sent a post, Madam asked her servant to bring it to you."

Chunxi, the eldest girl next to Wang, came in with a post in both hands, but she didn't dare to look directly at the second girl, she raised her hands up and lowered her head.Don't be in the palace, maids and eunuchs can't look directly at the nobles, even if they are slaves in the duke's house, they can't look directly at the master, they can only carefully accompany the master, even if they raise their heads, they must lower their eyes, unless it is that The kind that the master likes to dote on, otherwise he would have to hang his head obediently and wait aside like Chunxi now.

"Sister Chang will hold a spring banquet in Zuoxiang's mansion in two days, and invite me to attend. Chunxi, you go back and tell your mother, I will go the day after tomorrow."

Shu Ning believed that this post must be handed over to her after Mrs. Wang had read it. Generally, Mrs. Wang would check all the posts that were handed in from outside, and only those with no problems would be sent to the girls.If you want to go to a banquet, let the girl tell her, she can make arrangements.

"Yes."

Chunxi responded.

"and many more."

Seeing that she was going to leave, Shu Ning stopped her again.

"Second girl?"

"Does my eldest sister have a post?"

If not, there is trouble again.

"No."

The people from Zuo Xiang's mansion only sent a post with the second girl's name written on it.

"Okay, I see, you step back!"

"Yes."

Chunxi retreated and left the post.

"Just wait and see, my eldest sister will definitely come soon."

Shuning asked Mei Chun to put away the posts. The four maids, Shuning, didn't purposely assign errands to them, but asked them to discuss who would do what, or who should take the lead if they were absent. There must be two big maids by her side, and the rest can be arranged by them.As for the account books and keys, Mei Chun is in charge, but Shuning will read them every month.

The four big maids are good at everything, especially Mei Dong and Mei Qiu, who were specially trained by the Marquis of Yongning ten years ago for his daughters, and are good at treating poison.

It's a pity that the eldest girl Shuhui disliked Mei Qiu for being too ordinary, so she didn't want anything. In the end, both of them belonged to Shuning, and she would be her dowry in the future.After the two came under her name, they began to separate to specialize in a certain thing. Mei Qiu was good at poison, and Mei Dong was good at medicine, unlike the first two who were equally good at medicine and poison, because this was specially prepared by Yongning Hou for the two daughters. As a result, the eldest daughter didn't appreciate it.

When it came to the second daughter's name, she was asked to redistribute the two points. According to their interests, they were finally divided into medicine and drugs.

Now if Shu Ning has any headaches, she doesn't need to go to a doctor outside, just ask Mei Dong to take a look, and then go to the pharmacy in the Hou Mansion to get the medicine back and fry it for Shu Ning.

Although Mei Dong has this ability, it is only known to the maids in Chaoyang Pavilion and Shu Ning herself.As for whether Mrs. Wang knew, Shu Ning said, is there anything else the family can hide from the mistress?There are also Mrs. Tai and Old Hou Ye, they must also know about it.But they all keep secrets for Shuning one by one, because Mei Qiumeidong can help Shuning if she uses it well. Ning is less dangerous.

As for the eldest girl Shuhui, she had long forgotten what was going on.This person didn't say clearly when he gave it to her at the beginning, but only said that he would help her.With Shuhui's haughty temperament, she always thought she was omnipotent, how could she listen to Yongning Hou and ask a girl to help her, she would only feel ashamed, so she would ask the girl to help.

Shu Ning applauded in her heart the elder sister who kept on dying.If it wasn't for her life and death, she still wouldn't be able to get Mei Qiu!Now the two of them have become their confidantes like Mei Chun and the others, plus they almost grew up together, Mei Qiu and Mei Dong are devoted to her.
