Syndicate Growth Manual

When Zhao Yuan returned to his garden, Zheng Yang came over and said to him: "Da Lang, the lady sent clothes here, and I want you to try them on to see if they fit."

"understood."

As soon as he took off his shoes and stepped on the porch, Huai Xi came over with a pair of soft-soled sleeping shoes, knelt down at his heels and insisted on him putting them on, and murmured: "It's cold today, don't you?" You can't walk on the porch with bare feet, the cold starts from the soles of your feet, if you catch cold, you will have to be served by boards..." Barabara went on and on.

Zhao Yuan grabbed the soft shoes and stuffed them in by himself, rolled his eyes and entered the room.

As soon as they entered, four little girls with long hairs followed like pikes.They were all eager and earnest, not daring to show their breath. When Zhao Yuan walked to the east, they lined up and followed him to the east.

Anyway, just follow him.

Zhao Yuan regretted it this time!He forgot about these little girls who had just arrived in the garden, otherwise he would have gone straight back to his father.

These girls are all ten years old. They were brought up by Li Qiu before, and then let Li Chun take them with them. They learned how to salute, how to serve tea, how to pass water, how to play fans, and even how to reply. What not to eat.The rules in the inner courtyard are strict, and the best servants seem to be invisible at ordinary times, but they appear immediately when the master needs them, and they can know the master's intentions just by moving a finger.

It's just that there is a lot of knowledge here, even if it is poured into these little girls, they can't understand it for a while.Although he has been placed in Zhao Yuan's sincere garden to serve, but when he is not on duty, he still has to learn the rules from behind the four.

When Zhao Yuan met the needleworker, he was waited on and changed into clothes from inside to outside. This set of clothes was delivered, but it was not just a deep coat with an outer cover, but also the jade buckle The belt, the purse with hooks, the jade ornaments that match the clothes, and even the small wooden boots with the same edge as the clothes.Even though he was young, he dressed formally like an adult when he went out.

While changing his clothes, he asked the four girls: "You haven't taken your names yet, have you?"

Several little girls looked at each other, and finally the second one from the right stood up and said: "Back to Da Lang, we didn't take any, and I asked Da Lang to give us a name."

Zhao Yuan looked at the one who spoke in surprise. It seemed that this one was more courageous. Although his voice was a little trembling, his words were still clear.He then asked: "There is no rush to choose a name, let me ask you, are you from the mansion or outside, and what was your original name?"

The four little girls were all wearing "uniforms" of yellow on the top and green on the bottom, and they wore double buns, but this little girl who was talking wore two small silver flowers on the buns. Her skin was white and tender, and her eyes were bright. I grew up through hardships.

Maybe it was because Zhao Yuan had a good attitude and was younger than them, the little girl slowly relaxed, smiled sweetly, and said: "Back to Dalang, this slave is from the mansion, and my grandfather is Zhao Da who is in charge of purchasing from the outer courtyard. My name is Zhao Ru, and my aunt always calls me Niu Niu..." He forgot to call himself as he spoke, and when he came to his senses, he was suddenly at a loss and his face was flushed.

Zhao Yuan didn't blame her, he thought for a long time with his chin in his hands, and suddenly he realized something.

He pointed at Zhao Ru and said, "I remember! Last year my father took me to see the lamp. Zhao Da drove the car, and he bought me a rabbit lamp with his own money!" He squinted his eyes again and looked at it. Zhao Ru said, "Speaking of which, that night there was a little girl watching the lamp with mother, and when she met us, she shouted at Zhao Da, could it be you?"

Zhao Ru didn't feel much about the boy who was five years younger than her calling her little girl.When she heard Zhao Yuan say this, her eyes lit up, and she saluted with a smile: "It's a slave."

Zhao Yuan also laughed: "I remember, you seem to have stuffed me with a bunch of honey bean dumplings secretly, and my father found out after I ate half of it..." As a result, I had a good holiday and was spanked twice.

Both of them were immersed in the memories of the past. It was not until the sewing woman reminded Zhao Yuan to take off his clothes in a low voice. Yes... Also, I'm going to have dinner with my mother at night."

The mother-in-law left, and Zhao Yuan sat on the mat and said to Zhao Ru: "According to the rules, you have to change your name when you enter the inner courtyard, but I think the name is chosen by the mother-in-law, and it is not good to change it casually. Let your name be your nickname."

Zhao Ru retreated, and several people saluted him again: "Here."

Zhao Yuan thought about it carefully, even if it was a nickname, it belonged to a girl after all, so he couldn't choose it casually.Like his father's name is very tasteless, something inferior to B and C, or it is Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, Lidong...

"How about it," he clapped his hands and decided, "Zhao Ru's name is Fang Ling."

He pointed to the first one on the right with a mole in the corner of his eye: "Your name is Fangxiao."

Pointing to the first bright-looking person on the left: "Your name is Fang Jin."

Finally, pointing to the second gentle-looking person on the left: "Your name is Fangbo."

Zhao Yuan took out a pen and wrote it for them to read. There was a character he couldn't write in the middle, and it was the original Zhao Ru who is now Fang Ling who told him, and told them what their names meant.Although Fangling is the only one who can read among the four, only by knowing how her name is written, and even knowing the meaning of the name, can she have a sense of belonging to the name.

He smiled and said: "Girls' families are as precious and beautiful as silk fabrics. If you work by my side, I will treat you well and not let others bully you."

If they were older, these words would be less solemn.However, Zhao Yuan's serious expression at this time moved the four little girls very much, and they also summoned up some courage in their hearts.

Being a slave is already inferior to others. If you follow a master who cherishes the poor and the weak, you can get some blessings, and your life is much better than that of the common people. The grinding time is behind it.

Fangling was also served by a servant at home, and she grew up with a lot of pets, and she was much more courageous than the one who bought it later.

Those of them who grew up in these mansions have their own set of standards in their minds, even if they are also slaves, they are divided into first, second and third classes, not to mention the difference in monthly money, even the cost of food and clothing.The servants in the mansion marry each other, and even marry the common people outside, and they are the first and second class servants who are the most respected.

A Niang is reluctant to let her come in to serve others, but Grandpa expects her to enter the mansion, and in the future, she will also fight for her own family.Not to mention anything else, but to be matched with a servant next to the general, I am afraid that there are several military achievements in him, which one is not a young talent?She also felt that what Grandpa said was very true, otherwise if he stayed at home, what kind of person would he be able to marry in the future?

Besides, Da Lang is also a good person, and everyone in the house likes him for the good looks they have always had on these servants.It must not be hard to be on an errand by his side.

Fang Ling thought about this in her mind, and said to Zhao Yuan: "Is Da Lang hungry? Are you thirsty? The servant brought a jar of peach jam made from this summer's new peaches. It can be used to make stuffed pies, or to make honey water. A slave can do it."

It can be said that she took this step on the right path.Zhao Yuan was greedy for sweets, so he nodded quickly when he heard it: "I want it, I haven't tasted peach jam yet! You go to the small kitchen!"

The three little girls on the side were a little anxious.Then what are they doing?

The bright-looking Fang Jin was a bit more flexible, so she spoke first, "Slave, slave, shall I help Sister Fangling too?"

Fang Ling looked at Zhao Yuan and saw him nodding, so she agreed and pulled Fang Jin over to leave.Fang Xiao and Fang Bo wanted to be together when they saw her, but she gave her a hard look: "We are all leaving, who will serve Da Lang?"

During the conversation, it seemed as if there was a difference between the superior and the inferior.

In the evening when Zhao Yuan went to Tangli Courtyard, Mrs. Fan was still going through the gift list with several servants in charge. Pieces of silk and silk were piled up on the banquet, and the black lacquer gift boxes piled up were piled up by Bisi and the others. Things go back and forth between the main house and the warehouse.

Not only are the gifts sent to each family, but the house also needs to be arranged. Zhao Yuan sat down beside Fan and listened to her instructions on how to sweep and remove the dust in the front yard. What kind of dogwood should be hung on the door, the rewards and flower cakes from the servants, and so on.It is meticulous and thoughtful, but neat and clean.

He couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart, these trivial family matters, indeed only a woman like Fan can sort them out.

When the lights are all lit, these things will be considered over.Fan was guilty of keeping him waiting for a long time, so he told Fan about naming the little girl, and he said the names one by one, which won Fan's great appreciation.After eating, Fan mentioned the matter of going to Fan's house for a ceremony the next day, and told him a few words.

"The highest official position in the Fan family is now my uncle. He is Sikong in the court and is also the eldest son of the Fan family. The head of the family is my uncle, the Yu family, who comes from the Yu family in Yaojiang. She has two sons under her, each of whom has become a home." Fan said, "When the time comes, you will follow me to visit her, and just call her grandmother."

This was the first time for Zhao Yuanchang to be a guest outside, so he was nervous.

He asked again: "Who am I going to bring? Fangling and the others are probably okay."

Fan thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to bring a girl, I think Zhengyang Huaixi would be fine."

That's true, although Zhengyang Huaixi was young, she had been serving Zhao Chen before, and she had seen the world and was calm, so it would be no mistake to take them out.

Seeing that he was really nervous, Fan comforted him and said: "It's okay, let's just sit down, have a meal, and then come back. We won't delay outside."

Zhao Yuan went back to Muxiyuan to sleep, and Zhao Chen came back with him.

Zhao Chen was surprised by his son's nervousness.

"It can be seen that you are a coward," he scratched Zhao Yuan's belly mockingly, "You are so afraid of being like this when you are a guest on weekdays?"

You do not understand!Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes silently.

Zhao Chen pursed his lips and said, "Do you want Li Qiu to follow you?"

"Father!" Zhao Yuan was furious, "Don't make trouble! If you take Li Qiu to make your mother angry, what will my siblings do?"

Will add chaos!

Zhao Chen laughed loudly, hugged his son and went to the ear room: "Go, go take a bath with Father!"
