Madam Hou

Chapter 71

As soon as he returned to Mu Detang, Lin Fengqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to go back to the inner room with Yinniang in his arms.While patting her husband's chest, Yin Niang blushed and said, "Lin Fengqi, let me down, I still have to see the maids in the yard."

Lin Fengqi said: "Whenever you can't see the maid, the most important thing is to do business now."

Yin Niang said angrily: "What you're doing is not a serious business, it's broad daylight, you have to be ashamed."

Lin Fengqi stared at Yinniang, and said ambiguously: "It's not a serious matter to spread the branches and give birth to children. Didn't you hear that both father and mother told us to spread the branches and leaves early?" After speaking, he turned to the maid in the room They said: "Your grandma and I are going to take a nap, so you go and watch outside the door."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the maids to respond, she carried Yinniang into the inner room.

After this afternoon nap, the two of them didn't get up until the evening, Lin Fengqi rested refreshed, but Yinniang became more and more tired the more she rested.

After bathing, Yin Niang redressed her with blue flowers and green vines, watched Fang Zhou in the mirror directing the little maids to change the dirty sheets, put on clean sheets, and then went out holding the dirty sheets, Yin Niang No matter how hard Niang tried to keep calm, she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.Meanwhile, Qinghua and Qingteng, who were holding Yinniang's hair up, looked at each other, and then smiled involuntarily.

After the maids tidied up the room, Yinniang had re-dressed her makeup and put on another set of silver-red peony-patterned satin jacket, a peony bun on her hair, and a set of glittering jewels. The whole person looks bejeweled, luxurious yet pretty.

Lin Fengqi, who had also changed his clothes, came over, led Yinniang around a large screen inlaid with ivory and jade with coil patterns and wings, sat on the kang against the wall, and then said to Fangzhou next to him, "The waiter in the courtyard The maids and mothers-in-law are all called in, and let them come to see the young mistress."

Let the maids and women meet the new mistress, this should have been done when they came back from the main courtyard, but it was interrupted because of a nap, and there is no time to do it until now.Of course, this kind of thing is a matter of the inner house, and the male master can not show up, but Lin Fengqi is here at this time, but it also means to support Yinniang.

Fangzhou knelt and said yes, then opened the doors to let the maids waiting outside come in.

Mude Hall is the residence of the prince, and there are more people serving it than other courtyards. Not counting the big maids with special functions like Qingwu and Fangzhou, there are two other big maids in Mude Hall, named Xia He and Qiu Huo respectively. locust tree.There are also eight second-class maidservants named Xiaohong, Xiaocheng, Xiaohuang, Xiaolu, Xiaoqing, Xiaolan, Xiaozi and Xiaobai, which happen to be the seven colors of the rainbow plus the most common white.Xia He and Qiu Huai seem to be bestowed by the elders, while the Rainbow Seven Sisters and Xiao Bai seem to be named randomly by someone who is not educated after they were mentioned from Zhuangzi.There are also twelve third-class maids, whose names will not be detailed here.Mudetang also has eight rough envoys' wives.

In the Young Master’s and Miss’s courtyard, the nanny who has been serving the Young Master and Miss since childhood is usually in charge, but what is strange about Mu Detang is that none of them have any real power. Not as good.In the past, Yinniang had raised this question to Lin Fengqi in a very cryptic manner. What was the answer at that time? It was because his nanny did not take good care of him when he was a child, and he was almost abducted. rod killed.Because of this, Xia He and Qiu Huai, the big maids in the courtyard, are the directors of Mude Hall. One of them is in charge of personnel affairs, and the other is in charge of accounts and money.These two are also capable servant girls, and they have managed the Mude Hall in an orderly manner for so many years.

The maids and women filed in, and soon the hall was crowded.Yinniang has lived in Yongning Hou Mansion for more than a year, and naturally she has inquired about Mu Detang's personnel affairs clearly. Qinghua Qingteng has also formed a revolutionary friendship with some maids here, and even Yinniang is not good to these people. unfamiliar.But even so, it is still different before marriage and after marriage. Before marriage, she was Miss Yin who lived in Yongning Hou Mansion, but after marriage she was their mistress, and all food and clothing depended on her.

Yinniang asked Qingteng to give rewards to each of the maids and mother-in-law. Xia He and Qiu Huai each had two taels of silver, each of the eight second-class maids had one car, and the rest of the third-class maids and the rough envoys Eight taels of silver per person, Qingwu and Fangzhou, because of their different identities, gave more rewards, five taels of silver each.This rewarding method was also decided by Yinniang after careful consideration.Mrs. Chen originally wanted to give more generously. After all, she is a servant girl in Lord Hou's family. It is normal to get a few taels of silver every month. If you give less, you may be looked down upon.

When you are rich, of course you want others to know that you are fat, but Yinniang is from a poor family after all, even though the dowry does not look ugly, it is the appearance of Mrs. Chen who has emptied her family and has the queen's make-up. , Yin Niang really didn't want to spend all her money, just to make her face swollen and fat.Two taels of silver is not too much for them, but it is not a level that makes them look down on it, it is just right.

The maids came forward to greet Yinniang one by one according to their positions, Qingwu and Fangzhou came up first.Qingwu was glared at by Lin Fengqi this morning, she seemed to have cried after she went back, her eyes are still red now, at this moment, eldest son Lin is in charge, she doesn't dare to shame Yinniang anymore, and knocks Yinniang in a proper manner Over the top, and down.

Then there is Fangzhou, Fangzhou is a special girl who looks very honest and responsible.When kneeling and kowtowing at this time, the sleeves were too wide, so they slid back, revealing a white arm like a lotus root, and a red spot on the arm.Standing behind Yinniang, Qingteng Xiaoxiao was shocked, looked at her own lady, but found that Yinniang didn't seem to notice anything, so she calmly asked Fangzhou to get up, Fangzhou didn't say much after getting up, and then went down .

Next came Xia He and Qiu Huai.These two maids get along well with Qinghua, and it is said that Caizhu and Caizhu are also sisters taught by the same Momo in the same period, and they have a classmate friendship.Kneeling down in front of Yinniang at this time, the two of them showed [-]% respect.

Next came the second- and third-class maids and rough envoys.

After the maids and women had seen the mistress.Yinniang also delivered a few words of acceptance speech by the mistress, roughly meaning: Mudetang is our common home, development depends on everyone, for the prosperity of Mudetang, we must work together.

After Yinniang sang the good face, it was time for Mr. Lin to sing the bad face.Lin Fengqi leaned on the kang, and glanced sharply at the group of maids and wives in the hall, which made the maids and wives sweat. After a while, Lin Fengqi said seriously: "From now on, I will serve you well. Young Mistress, treat Young Mistress as you treat me, if anyone is disrespectful to Young Mistress, Young Mistress does not need to reply to me, just send it out, if you let me know who is disrespectful to Young Mistress, I will directly cut her with a sword."

A group of maids hurriedly knelt down, saying that they did not dare.And Yin Niang frowned, a little complaining that Lin Fengqi said killing people when they were newly married, which is really unlucky.

In the end, the meeting with the mistress ended in Lin Dashizi's shouting and killing.

After the maids dispersed, Yin Niang looked at the sky, only to realize that it was almost time for dinner again.Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Lin Hou sent someone to ask them to go to the front yard for dinner.

After dinner, Lin Fengqi brought Yinniang back early, made hot water to wash her up early, and then took Yinniang into the tent.

Qingteng looked at the door that had been closed early, and secretly frowned worriedly, thinking, I still need to find someone to mention it to the Shizi tomorrow.It's okay to take the young lady to rest early several times a day. The son is young and strong and is a martial arts practitioner, but the young lady is still young. Such frequent intercourse, the body can withstand several times of digging.
