[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Chapter 10 Greetings or Demonstration

Jia Amnesty's speed was good, and the next day, Yanmo, who was needed by his side, led people to meet Yingchun.

Aunt Guan took Yingchun to meet the three of them in the hall.

A nanny in her forties, her hair was meticulously dressed, and her every move was as disciplined as a textbook.

There are two maidservants who are fourteen or fifteen years old. They are not very beautiful, but they are capable and well-behaved.

"My servant, Mrs. Xu, washes and piles mud to kowtow to the girl, please take care of my aunt."

Although Yingchun is young, these three people can make Yingchun feel their duty and rules no matter what they say or do in front of Yingchun.

"Please get up." Yingchun looked at Aunt Guan, saw Aunt Guan's gesture, and said as she had said before.

"Thank you, girl." The three of them thanked each other before getting up.

"Where did you work before and what did you know?" Yingchun asked.

Sister Xu slightly bowed behind her and said, "The servant is working in a village in the suburbs of the master. Yesterday, the grinder next to the master came to the village to send a message, ordering the servant to serve the girl. The servant can recognize a few words and know some needlework. I also know a little about the etiquette of big families."

That is to say, it can teach her to read and write, teach her to be a female celebrity, and instruct her in various rules and etiquette.

Jia Amnesty is surrounded by such a versatile talent?Yingchun is a little surprised. Although she has changed her view of Jia She a lot, he is still the same Jia She in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Xu?This surname is somewhat intriguing. She remembered that her great-grandmother, the grandmother who raised Jia She, was surnamed Xu.

Relying on her young age, Yingchun asked directly, "Do you have the same surname as my great-grandmother?"

A wave of fluctuation flashed in Xu Nanny's eyes, and she replied, "Yes, the grandparents of the servant girl were orphans adopted by the first generation of Duke Rong and his wife. When I was young, I entered my wife's yard as an errand, and after I got married, I followed a few old people to take care of my wife's dowry at the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing."

Taking care of the wife's dowry?Did the dowry of the first Mrs. Rong Guo really go to Jia Amnesty?So Nanny Xu became Jia Amnesty's person.

Jia Yuan, the first Duke of Rongguo, and his brother Jia Yan, the first Duke of Ningguo, fought with their ancestors, and were later named Duke Rong and Duke Ning for their military exploits. From this, one can imagine the prosperity and glory that Rongguo Mansion experienced at the time. The father and wife are also extraordinary, and those who can serve them are used to seeing all kinds of big scenes as they go through the wind and rain.

It may be because of her grandparents that Madam Xu was able to serve in the courtyard of the first Mrs. Rong Guogong, but she was later entrusted with taking care of the dowry because of her outstanding ability.

Moreover, she is good at reading and writing, and she can teach everyone about etiquette and etiquette. She must have been trained by the wife when she was in the yard of the first Mrs. Rong Guogong.

Yingchun expressed her high hopes for the people trained by the first Mrs. Rong Guo

"I'll leave it to Madam Xu from now on!" Yingchun said politely.

Yingchun said it politely, but Mother Xu didn't even dare to say it.

Next came Tao Ni and Ji Ni, who bowed their knees slightly and said.

"The servant girl washes and stacks mud. She used to serve in the master's study, but now she is ordered by the master to serve the girl."

"Okay." Yingchun nodded, pointing to the green vegetables and lotus and said, "They are green vegetables and lotus flowers, they are very good to me."

It's inconvenient to be a child, and you have to pretend to be tender or ignorant.

"Mother Xu, Elder Sister Taoni, Elder Sister Yani." Lucai and Hehua greeted each other first, and then everyone was polite again.

Seeing that the newcomers acted reliably and got along well with the old ones, and Yingchun's response was also very appropriate, Guan said, "I am pregnant and lack energy, so I will inevitably neglect the girl. You are more attentive, especially Madam Xu, you will teach the girl how to behave, if the girl does something wrong, just say it and correct it."

"Aunt Guan is too polite. The master gave you to the girl, and the servant is the girl's person. Naturally, she is dedicated to the girl." Madam Xu said, from the moment she entered the door, she knew that the girl and Aunt Guan were looking at them, so she naturally Also quietly evaluating the girl and Aunt Guan.

As far as she can see at this moment, the girl is a successful one, and Aunt Guan is a clean one, which makes them very happy to be slaves.

Because the root was injured in the early stage of pregnancy, Aunt Guan just sat with Yingchun for a while and then went back to the room and continued to rest in bed.

Nanny Xu and a few maids organized Yingchun's house, cleaned up Yingchun's property by the way, and then threw away the registration book that should be registered.

In less than half an hour, Mother Xu cleared out Yingchun's property.

Twelve taels of Wenyin, the other is the gold lock and gold collar worn by children, three or five gold and silver nudes, and two or three boxes of clothes.

Less, less, less abnormal!

Not only did Yingchun feel that she was too poor, but also Madam Xu and Taoniduini, who were tidying up things, had different expressions.

To be honest, all Yingchun's things combined are not worth as much as the inkstone on Jia She's desk.

Moreover, Yingchun's status will allow her to receive some small gifts or gold and silver nudes during the festivals, and these accumulations will not make her so poor.

On the contrary, Lucai and Hehua knew some inside information, and they quietly went up to share with a few people, and the three showed suddenly enlightened expressions.

On the second day, Yingchun was still asleep when someone shook her awake.

"Grandma Xu?" Yingchun asked

"Girl, it's time to get up." Madam Xu said as she helped Yingchun put on her clothes, and the two of them hurried forward to help.

Those who put on clothes put on clothes, those who comb their hair comb their hair, and those who wipe their faces wipe their faces.

Only when the wet veil was stuck to her face did Yingchun fully wake up.

"Mother Xu, what's the matter?" Yingchun asked, it's too early!

"It's time for the girl to say hello to the wife." Madam Xu said.

"But, didn't the master say that the wife was sick and needed to rest? The old lady also forbade the wife to pay her respects." Forced to close the door and think about the mistakes, do I still have to pay my respects like this?

"It's because she's sick, but the girl is still going to pay her respects as a child. Can I go with the girl in my arms?" Mother Xu asked.

"Okay" Yingchun nodded.

Mother Xu showed a smile on her face, "Don't worry, girl, just go to the gate of the wife's courtyard for a while, maybe you don't even need to enter the door. Etiquette and rules are very troublesome, but many times the etiquette rules can also be used to protect yourself, no matter how old the girl is." You can understand this point.”

Yingchun seemed to be ignorant and nodded. In fact, she knew what Madam Xu meant, and she was pleasantly surprised that Madam Xu made use of etiquette and rules. She was indeed taught by the first Mrs. Rong Guogong.

The weather had started to get colder, Madam Xu put a cloak on Yingchun, and then walked towards the main courtyard with Yingchun in her arms.

When we arrived at the main courtyard, Grandma Xu didn't let Yingchun go, she went up to the grandma at the door and said, "Please inform me, the lady has come to greet my wife."

The gatekeeper looked up, first saw Yingchun wrapped in Xumao's arms, then shifted her gaze to the nun holding Yingchun, and the two maids who stood upright as if they were one person. She was rude and couldn't describe it in words, but the solemnity and majesty that rushed to her face made her tremble and dare not be presumptuous.

She unconsciously said politely, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report."

Nanny Xu nodded.

The gatekeeper quickly stepped into the room, and after a while, Xing's voice came, "No see"

The gatekeeper came out in embarrassment, and Madam Xu said to Yingchun as if she hadn't seen it, "Girl, it's inconvenient for the madam, can the girl come down and salute?"

With that said, Nanny Xu put Yingchun on the ground.

Yingchun bent her knees and squatted slightly in the direction of the main room.

"Crack..." A sound, like the sound of porcelain breaking, came from the main room.

Nanny Xu hugged Yingchun again as if she hadn't heard, wrapped Yingchun tightly in her cloak and said, "Girl, since we've already greeted you, let's go back!"

Yingchun nodded, she had already deeply understood what Madam Xu said, "Use etiquette and rules to protect yourself."

Greetings this morning, why did she feel that it was not a greeting, but a demonstration?Didn't you hear that Xing smashed the porcelain in anger?

A group of people walked to their own yard again.

At this time, Mother Xu said, "Girl, as long as the wife doesn't say hello to the girl herself, the girl must go to greet the wife every day."

"Okay," Yingchun agreed, why did she feel that Nanny Xu was sluggish?Probably not, for such a polite nanny, she must have missed something!
