Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 66

The two maids were brought by Jin's mother in charge, named Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan. They were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were very handsome. Standing in the outer room, they were very eye-catching.

After bringing the person here, the mother in charge sent the message and went back. Lin Qingran looked at the two maids. She couldn't refute the fact that the eldest aunt was so troubled about the fifth house, "There is no shortage of people in Chenxiangyuan , I'm not used to giving birth by hand, Siqin, take them to Mama Tian to see if there's anything wrong."

The two servant girls looked cute, and followed Si Qin out, and Si Qi came up to change Lin Qingran for a glass of warm water, "Miss, why did Mrs. Madam send such two people over?" It didn't look like she was helping.

"I just want to send someone like this over here." Lin Qingran took a sip of warm water, "You can also go to Mama Tian's place more these days. Mama Li is not here, and she has a lot of things to do there. Look at what those two maids are doing. how about it."

When Lin Qingran said that, she didn't have any hope for the two maids in her heart. What kind of rough work could be done with such slender hands, and she probably wouldn't be afraid of getting hot while serving a cup of tea by her side.

When Shao Ziyu came back at night, Lin Qingran didn't mention it, and went to bed after washing. Shao Ziyu put his arms around her body, touched her stomach, and it got bigger.

"Today my father-in-law told me about my foreign appointment." Shao Ziyu stretched out his arm for her to lean on, and Lin Qingran raised her head, "So soon?"

"After staying in the Imperial Academy for a year, I can actually take up other official positions in various ministries in the court. My father-in-law and I thought of one place. Instead of going to various ministries, I will go to a foreign office when the year is over." Only stayed in the Imperial Academy If you want to hold other positions in the court for a year, you can't sit high. It's better to go out for two to three years first, and then make judgments based on your achievements during the foreign service period, also in order not to fall into the public eye.

"Have you decided where to go?"

"Go to Pengcheng." With a flash in his eyes, Shao Ziyu took her hand and held it in his hand, "To the south, we can go down by water, and it's more than half a month's journey from Luodu City."

"It's good to go to the south." Lin Qingran nodded, "When are we going?"

"If you want to go, you have to wait until the spring of next year, after you give birth to the child." Shao Ziyu kissed her on the forehead, "We will go there as a family."

A few days later, Siqi came to report to Lin Qingran, saying that the two maids sent by the big room were incapable of doing anything, and Mother Tian ordered them to clean the window frames, and went to see the two sitting there chatting for a long time. They were not finished, so they were asked to help in the kitchen, and they were still unwilling to go in when they stood outside, because they thought it was dirty, "Later, Mother Tian ordered them to water the flowers in the small garden, once in the morning and in the evening. Pour it well."

"Since you can't do a good job, you can match someone at this age." Lin Qingran said lightly, "Go and find Mama Tian."

Lin Qingran asked Mama Tian to get a list of servants in charge of the Shao family. There were more than [-] people who did not say that they were married or not. After choosing two, Lin Qingran asked Mama Tian to inquire about the details.

The two maids here, Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan, are still trying to figure out how to get close to the fifth master.

Going out early and returning home late, they couldn't meet anyone. This day they finally met the fifth master who came back early outside the Chenxiang courtyard. Jin Chuan greeted him first and saluted. He didn't speak so well in front of Lin Qingran, but looked at Shao Ziyu charmingly. "Fifth Lord, this servant is called Jin Chuan, and she was sent by Madam to serve you."

Shao Ziyu stopped a few steps away from her, frowning slightly, "Which madam."

"We were sent by the old lady to serve you, fifth master." Yu Chuan stepped forward and said shyly.

He told Lin Qingran that he was sending someone to add more manpower, and he used the word "servant" in front of Shao Ziyu. It was the first time seeing him after coming for several days. These two maids were really in a hurry.

This is in Shao's mansion, it is much better to be able to climb up to a master and give birth to a son and a half daughter than to be assigned to the man in charge of the mansion. Even if the child is just a concubine, it is still surnamed Shao.

"Go away." After a while, Shao Ziyu scolded them coldly, his eyes were full of disgust, Jin Chuan was stunned, why did the fifth master have such an attitude, and was about to smile and say something, Shao Ziyu walked away from them directly, Back to Chenxiangyuan.

The two maids looked at each other, and Yu Chuan pulled Jin Chuan's sleeve, "Sister, what should we do?" Do you really want to do those hard work with that mother Tian?

"Didn't the fifth master sleep in a side room?" Jin Chuan gritted his teeth, and a chess player's shout came from a distance, "What are you doing there? Have you done what Mother Tian entrusted to you?"

Yu Chuan stomped his feet resentfully, "Here we come."

At night, the lights had already been turned off, and Lin Qingran was guarding a maid outside Lin Qingran's room, while inside the room was a violin vigilante.

Shao Ziyu never went to sleep in the side room, and there was no one outside the side room door.

After a while, two figures came quietly, and when they reached the door of the side room, Jin Chuan pushed the door carefully, looked around for a while, and then hid himself in, followed by Yu Chuan.

The room was very dark, and the two of them groped carefully for the bed, so they felt strange, why there was no sound in the room, and the door opened with a bang, and Mother Tian stood there with a few wives. There is nowhere to hide, "What are you doing!"

Waking up the next morning, Lin Qingran sent Shao Ziyu out, walked slowly around the garden after breakfast, and asked Mother Tian to bring back the two people who had been locked up overnight.

There is still a little bit of freshness here, Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan knelt on the ground, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their faces were pale.

"Sneak into the master's house in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?" Lin Qingran looked at them, and Jin Chuan shook his head, "No ma'am, we just went in to see if Fifth Master needed anything, we didn't go in to steal anything."

"I didn't steal it, or I didn't have time to steal it." Lin Qingran looked at them coldly, "Everyone in Chenxiangyuan doesn't know that the fifth master sleeps in the main room and there is no one in the side room. Go in and see what you need."

The faces of the two maids became even paler. They had clearly heard from some maids that Fifth Master slept in the side room, so how could he sleep in the main room.

"Mother Tian didn't do the errands assigned to you well, and several pots of flowers died of drought. Yesterday, you dared to sneak into the side room to steal things."

"Ma'am, we didn't steal anything, we didn't."

Lin Qingran heard them cry for grievances, and said calmly, "That's because you haven't had time to steal it." Yesterday, when Xianggong came back and said that he was stopped by these two maids on the way, she knew that there would be others, so let Mama Tian keep a close eye on it. , I didn't expect that they couldn't wait so much, so they went to the side room at night to try to smear and climb the bed. The aunt sent such two people here, did she think that everyone in the fifth room was an idiot?

Lin Qingran said that they were going to steal something, that was to steal something, otherwise what would they do in an empty side room in the middle of the night, after coming to Chenxiangyuan for so many days, it was a help, but it was all a waste of time, watering the flowers and dying, Cleaning the window frame can hurt your hand, of course the focus is on stealing.

"Chenxiangyuan can't keep you. If the eldest aunt knows this, I don't think she will want you. Your identity is in the Shao family, so you are from the Shao family. If the inner courtyard is not suitable, you can go to the outer courtyard." , you are not young anymore, I decided to match you, Mother Tian, ​​take them down to take care of them, pack up their things, and give each of them ten taels of silver as my dowry to them, so send it over."

There was no chance for them to turn around and talk. The two women came up, covered their mouths, and dragged them out.

The next day Lin Qingran sent someone to the big room to tell the story, and the rice was already porridge.

At this time, Mrs. Jin was talking about this matter with Mrs. Gu. After listening to the servant's report, her expression was naturally not good-looking. She picked two beautiful maids to be the roommates of the fifth room, and they directly assigned the servants there. He is also matched with an unpromising servant, saying that two people committed a crime in the fifth room, and this character is only enough for this.

"Little fifth daughter-in-law is not a person who is willing to suffer." Gu said lightly, "If you don't do things well, and sneak into the master's house in the middle of the night without knowing what to do, such a person should be kicked out of the house directly Who would dare to use it." And Wu Fang didn't chase her away but used this method, nothing more than to slap Da Fang in the face and let her intervene in the other courtyard's affairs.

"Then she should have let me know. It's all like this now." The person who took me there yesterday has already done everything I should have done today.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her, "I still want to ask you, what kind of maids are you sending to Wufang for nothing, and even sending these two maids there, even if you sell them, you have nothing to say." , It's not that she sent the maid she sent away for no reason.

Jin paused, she meant to give away the house, but she didn't say it clearly, so she changed the tone, "Mother, I just want to see what kind of person this little fifth daughter-in-law is, look at little People have changed so much since they got married for more than ten years, and they refused to talk when they were raised by their father. How can they be fine after a year of marriage, and they went to the Imperial Academy, and they were promoted in half a year."

"How did you inquire about the second bedroom?" Gu's brows frowned, and she seemed petty because she didn't focus on looking for things on the side, "It's all about the fifth bedroom. .”

After being reprimanded by her mother-in-law, Jin talked about the movements of the second room, "The second brother stayed in the study and did not come out, but the sister-in-law went to the Liu's house a few times. I think they also secretly read the letters that came in and out. I'm working hard."

Mrs. Gu snorted, "If you really don't try hard, I'd be surprised." The emperor said that after the filial piety period, we will discuss it again, and there will be a fight for reinstatement at that time, and she doesn't believe that the second wife is just trying to prevent the eldest son from accepting the title.

After all, Gu's eyes glanced at the door far away. She is dead and she is still alive. She will take good care of the Shao family for him no matter what.
After Lin Qingran used this method to match the two maidservants with the servants, the big house never asked a word about the fifth house, and Shao Ziyu was not raised by the big house, so this dishonest person intervened , Saying that is slapping myself in the face again.

In the blink of an eye, in mid-August, Lin Qingran was six months pregnant, and the Ministry of Officials issued another official document to the Shao Mansion. Shao Ziyu, who had stayed in the Imperial Academy for a year, was promoted to be a servant of the Imperial Academy, starting from the fifth grade.

From Shao Ziyu's entry into the Hanlin Academy to the present, he has been promoted to three levels in a year. Although it is not high, it is enough to attract people's attention. What is before him is how to choose where to go, whether to stay in the Imperial Academy or go to various ministries, Or you can arrange a job after returning from a foreign job.
