Daming female local tyrant

The small courtyard where the kitchen of Shen's other courtyard is located is the busiest time for this five-entry mansion when eating.

Most of the servants who usually work everywhere in the other courtyard will come to cook and eat at this point, except for a few who stay at their posts.

There is a dining room in the small courtyard where the kitchen is located, and men and women each occupy one room.

Jing Lan followed the maid Cui Zhu into the dining hall full of maids, and saw a fat cook in her thirties standing in front of three wooden barrels, two small wooden barrels, and a large wooden barrel.The maids brought two bowls over, and the cook would give them a spoonful of vegetables from the small wooden bucket.The dishes are very simple, one is roasted tofu and the other is roasted winter melon.There is steamed white rice in the big wooden bucket, and then the maids use the wooden spoons in the bucket to serve the rice for themselves.

At a glance, there are more than ten maidservants in this dining hall, all of them are wearing turquoise bijia, light green commoner clothes and sarongs.

Jing Lan remembered that ever since she entered the Shen family's other courtyard, she seemed to have seen the two big maids in front of Shen Wan wearing water-red bijia.From this point of view, their ranks are obviously higher than those maids in turquoise armor, so it's no wonder they don't come to eat in this kitchen.

Later, when eating at the table with Cuizhu, I heard from Cuizhu that the dozen or so maids in the Shen family's other courtyard are all third-class maids, and they are usually responsible for cleaning. It is necessary to serve in front of the master and listen to the command of the higher-ranking servants brought by the master.The dozen or so maids in the Shen family's other courtyard usually listen to Mama Chen, and Chen's mother can be regarded as the head of the maids and cooks, while Steward Fan is in charge of the servants and the entire Shen family's courtyard.

"Where are the two big maids in front of my aunt?"

"Second class."

"Are they just second class?"

"The first-class ones are in front of the old lady of the Shen family and a few other wives. Now you are also the servant girl of the Shen family. Maybe you can see those first-class ones when you go back to the Shen family with your aunt."

……

While eating, Cuizhu gossips with Jinglan, telling her everything Jinglan wants to know and doesn't want to know.

She finally said that if Jing Lan could go to Xiao's house with Shen Wan, she would be promising in the future, so don't forget her sister who was a third-class maid in the other courtyard of Shen's house.

Jing Lan nodded and said of course she would not forget.

She thought, if she told her that she didn't want to follow Shen Wan to Xiao's house, would Cuizhu still be so enthusiastic towards her?

Jing Lan ate three bowls of rice in a row before putting down her rice bowl, and Cui Zhu snickered.She told Jing Lan that she would be able to eat every meal in the future, and she would not miss the last meal.Although the Shen family gave their third-class maids no more than [-] Wen per month, they took care of three meals a day. Although there were only two dishes in each meal, they were still vegetarian dishes, but the rice in the big wooden bucket was just scooped up and eaten casually.In addition, they can also make tooth sacrifices during the New Year Festival, and eat fish and meat.

Entering Shen's house as a maid can fill her stomach, and the dry rice and two vegetarian dishes can be compared with the New Year's dinner of Lin's family.

Jing Lan has been hungry since she came here, and she entered the Shen family's other courtyard the first day today, and she was very satisfied with what she ate.Touching her swollen belly, she thought with emotion, in fact, she would rather be a free and hungry good citizen outside than a slave whose stomach would explode every meal, she would rather be the latter.

Thinking of this, she herself despised herself a little.

Later, when Cui Liu came, she handed Jing Lan a set of clothes for a change of clothes. After eating the dinner that Cui Zhu made for her, she took Jing Lan to the residence of the maids in the other courtyard of the Shen family. A bathroom for the maids to bathe in.

The servant girl in the kitchen had already been ordered to bring hot water, and Cui Liu also gave Jinglan saponin and bath beans to wash her hair and body.

Jing Lan washed her hair beautifully and took a bath. It has to be said that even the bathing conditions of the third-class maid in the Shen family's other courtyard are better than those of the Lin family.Comparing the two, she felt even more ridiculous that she told the Shen family aunt an hour or two ago that she would rather be free than be a canary in a cage.She felt that she was a modern person in her bones, more greedy for enjoyment, and also very realistic. After eating a full meal and taking a good bath in Shen's other courtyard, she was not so resistant to being a slave.

After putting on the clean clothes from inside to outside, she was accompanied by two maidservants to Huixiangju.

At that time, all the other courtyards of the Shen family were lit up, and so was the Huixiang residence.

Shen Wan was served by An Chun and An Dong for dinner, the two maids saw that she was absent-minded and that the food was not tasty, so they asked her if the food was not to her liking.

"No...that's right, I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead, just prepare some more snacks for me at night, I'm afraid I'll be hungry before going to bed." Shen Wan put down the half-eaten rice bowl in her hand and looked out the window , it was dusk outside, and the sky had already darkened.

She couldn't help but wonder, is Jing Lan eating in the dining hall where the maids in Shen's other courtyard are eating?

Those dishes were too simple, she really wanted to have dinner with Jing Lan, and also wanted to put many delicious dishes in front of her and watch her feast on them.But she knew that if she really did that, Jing Lan might not be able to eat it anymore.Moreover, the servants of the Shen family would also become suspicious and discuss a lot, which was not good for Jing Lan who just entered the Shen family.

She eagerly wants to be nice to Jing Lan, but she also understands that being too nice to Jing Lan will harm her instead.

Now that she reunited with Jing Lan in this life, she, who has lived so many years longer than Jing Lan, should protect Jing Lan and let her grow up safely, so that she can finally live together with Jing Lan.

Therefore, she always told herself to be calm and to think through everything before doing it. In this life, she should be a woman who controls everything.

After An Chun and An Dong finished their dinner, they went into the inner room and told Shen Wan who was sitting quietly under the lamp that the kitchen had brought hot water and she could go to take a bath.

But Shen Wan called to wait, and said that tonight she would let the girl from the Lin family, who had just entered the Shen family's other courtyard, take care of her tonight, and she would just ask An Chun to prepare the middle clothes she changed.

"Girl... can the newcomer serve you well?" An Chun couldn't help but asked tentatively.

Since she came to serve Shen Wan, she and An Dong took turns to serve Shen Wan in the bath, and before serving Shen Wan, they both worked as little maids for three years and learned all the things to serve the masters.The girl from the Lin family had just entered Shen's house for the first day, and the girl asked her to wait for the bath, An Chun and An Dong couldn't figure it out.It was only because of An Chun's eloquence that he expressed his doubts.

Shen Wan said calmly: "Don't worry, just go get ready."

Not getting an explanation from the master is a result that An Chun and An Dong can accept, they just need to follow Shen Wan's instructions.

After the two withdrew, they couldn't help discussing the matter in a low voice. The result of the discussion was that they couldn't understand the reason why the master did this anyway.What's more, the master seems to be different from this girl who has just entered the Shen family's other courtyard. Otherwise, how can it be explained that the girl named Lin Jinglan was locked in the room that An Chun took care of, and she had the tea and tea that the master usually eats? dessert.

When An Chun discussed this matter, his tone was a little sour, as if he had fallen out of favor.

An Dong told An Chun not to talk about it. Although they are the master's personal servants, it's better for them not to guess the reason why the master does things, and just follow the master's orders.Moreover, the two of them are already sixteen or seventeen years old. In a few years, they will be able to ask the master to let them go out to marry. The little girl of the Lin family will be the servant girl in front of the master.Thinking about it this way, it might not be a bad idea for the master to arrange for that girl from the Lin family to serve her in the bath, maybe the master has this in mind.

An Chun accepted this reason, and went to arrange for Shen Wan to take a bath with An Dong.

Jing Lan arrived after ordering the little maids to spread linoleum in Shen Wan's bedroom, set up the tub, prepare towels, bath items, and a change of underwear.

The little maid Cui Liu reported from outside the curtain that they brought Jing Lan.

Shen Wan heard it in the room, and hurriedly asked An Dong to bring Jing Lan in.

Under the leadership of An Dong, Jing Lan walked into Shen Wan's bedroom, and saw Shen Wan sitting beside the bed with loose hair, and there was a large bathtub in the middle of the room, as well as several large buckets of steaming water.

The room was filled with hot air, and the sweet scent like pear she smelled in the afternoon, as well as the smell of powder...

Looking at it like this, it is obvious that the ice and snow beauty is about to take a bath.

Jing Lan thought, could it be that she came at the wrong time? Does Ice and Snow Beauty have the habit of meeting people when she takes a bath?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Shen Wan looked at Jing Lan who had changed into clean clothes after bathing, and felt that she was in good spirits, looking more fresh and pleasant than in the afternoon.

After the servants who came to bring the hot water poured the big buckets of hot water into the big bathtub, the little maids arranged the four flower and bird screens in the room, and then they all retreated.

An Chun walked to Jing Lan's side, glanced at her coldly, told her that she would wait for the girl to take a bath in a while, and briefly instructed her how to wait for the master to wash his hair and body in a while.At the end, he pointed out to her the shampoo that was made with spices and saponins, the soap that was also spiced, and the towels that were used to wipe the girl's body after washing and the clean ones that were replaced. After finding where the middle clothes were, he withdrew.

Jing Lan opened her mouth slightly, and listened to An Chun's words. To be honest, she was surprised. Why did she come to take a bath for Bingxue beauty the first day she entered Shen's house?

Shouldn't the normal procedure be that after becoming a maid on the first day, she would be brought to the master, listen to a lesson, and then the little maid would take her back to sleep, and she would be arranged to do some chores like sweeping when she wakes up tomorrow morning? ?Why do you do this kind of embarrassing job on the first day...
