The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

After getting acquainted with the surroundings, the half-month marriage leave expired. Shulan put on a purple jacket with a stand-up collar, a white pink and green embroidered peony collar beanie and a pink silk horse-face skirt, with a woman's head on her head. , only inserted a few small hairpins and a scarlet head flower.

Waving her hand, she stopped the girl serving her, and Shulan put powder on her face and began to put on makeup.He drew his eyebrows a little thicker, and used eye shadow to suppress the slightly raised corners of his eyebrows. He didn't put any rouge on his mouth, but just lightly brushed a little rouge on his face, and his whole person immediately became quite flat.

"Why are you dressed up like this today?" Lin Zhixiao put on the clothes under the service of the girl, turned around and saw Shulan's ugly outfit. If he hadn't seen Shulan's beautiful appearance before, Lin Zhixiao would still I really thought that Shulan's appearance was not outstanding.

Shulan put a gold bracelet on her hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't this going to work in Jia's mansion today? It's not like you don't know the situation in that mansion. What do you do with a beautiful dress? It's disgusting."

Because of the affairs of Mrs. Zhang’s natal family, the big house is now on schedule, and Mrs. Wang’s place is now looking down on the enchanting Hu Meizi, otherwise she would not send the big girl around her to marry. Although she is newly married, don’t forget that she is also Jia. The servants of the family dress up and go to work, isn't this the rhythm of looking for death?

"Young lady is indeed from the second wife's side, she is really thoughtful." Lin Zhixiao praised Shulan jokingly, but he was very satisfied in his heart.All men have machismo, and hope that their women can show themselves the most beautiful side and prevent others from seeing it. I have to say that Shulan has scratched Lin Zhixiao's itch.

Shulan pouted, and lightly hammered Lin Zhixiao, "Fuck you, I don't believe you can't think of it." It's not that he didn't wear bright red this time, he only picked up a dark orange dress to wear, looking old-fashioned Not a lot.

After they got dressed and had breakfast, they got up and got into the carriage to go to Jia's mansion to work on errands.Since Shulan is a new wife and she has no assignments for the time being, she went to visit each room first, which just gave Shulan a chance to get to know everyone in the Jia family.

Lin Zhixiao was Jia She's book boy, so the two went to the big room first, Lin Zhixiao sent Shulan to the Chuihua Gate and told her a few words, then left, and then there was the inner courtyard where the female relatives lived, Lin Zhixiao was a male servant You can't go in casually.

After passing the Chuihua Gate, a group of ladies and maids were standing there talking and laughing. When they saw Shulan, they greeted Shulan with a smile and said, "The new daughter-in-law is here, congratulations."

Shulan smiled and handed a handful of copper coins to a few people, there were about a few tens of coins, "I'll take your word for it, let's buy some wine and eat!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and there was another burst of flattery. Shulan had a headache hearing what she said, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't bother me, I have to go and pay my wife a favor."

Then everyone gave up, and after offering Shulan to go in, they went down to prepare to eat, drink and have fun with the copper coins Shulan gave.

After walking for another shot, through the Chaoshou verandah, I arrived at the door of Mrs. Zhang's house.Although Shulan is the eldest girl next to Mrs. Wang, she is quite familiar with the maids of the first room. After receiving their congratulations, she walked in under the leadership of Ziwen, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Zhang.

Shulan stepped forward to kowtow to Mrs. Zhang, perhaps because she was Mrs. Wang's big girl before, and she kowtowed abruptly before being called up. Mrs. Zhang has just finished confinement and is still weak Soon, Shulan saw that her face was pale, she only said a few words, rewarded Shulan with a bolt of red cotton yarn and a purse, and then sent her away.

Regarding Mrs. Zhang's indifferent attitude, Shulan was already prepared in her heart, and she didn't feel wronged.After thanking Mrs. Zhang, she took her things and went to Mrs. Wang's. It was obvious that Mrs. Wang treated her much better. Before she knelt down, Mrs. Wang quickly ordered the girl beside her to help her up.

"Seeing your ruddy complexion now makes me feel at ease. Does he treat you well?" Mrs. Wang knew about her own affairs. Although Jia's house was clearly the housekeeper of Jia's mother, there were many open and secret fights between the eldest and second rooms.If it wasn't because Lin Zhixiao's father was the chief manager of Jia's mansion, or because Jia's mother didn't squeeze him out when she was the housekeeper, Mrs. Wang would not marry the eldest girl around her to Jia Amnesty's book boy.

Shulan blushed slightly, "Don't worry, madam, he treats me very well. Now we don't have a housekeeper in the inner courtyard of our house. Once I marry in, I will be in charge of the house."

"That's good!" Mrs. Wang nodded, and rewarded Shulan with a piece of cotton silk and a concentric knot made of jade.

"Thank you, Mrs. for the reward."

Mrs. Wang didn't care, she stroked her hand and asked, "Did your father-in-law arrange an errand for you?" Naturally, Shulan couldn't serve her personally after she got married, so she had to arrange another errand, so Mrs. Wang asked accordingly.

Shulan lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Elder-in-law doesn't dare to make up his own mind, let me listen to my wife's arrangement." As for which wife it is, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and then showed distress, "The old lady is in charge of the house now, and I don't know where there is a vacancy. That's all right. You will follow me to see the old lady later, and see what the old lady means. .”

"Yes!"

Shulan stepped forward to wait on Mrs. Wang, and it took a while to tidy up.When she followed Mrs. Wang to Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia was still washing and washing. This is the rule of the Jia Mansion, the higher the master's seniority, the later the later, the purpose is to let the juniors below serve her.

Mother Jia was still washing and washing, so Madam Wang naturally couldn't just stand aside, she also went up to serve, but just handed some hairpins and hair ornaments as a gesture.

Waiting for Mother Jia to tidy up, everyone moved to the main room. Mother Jia is such a sharp-eyed person, she naturally saw Shulan and asked.

Mrs. Wang smiled and pushed Shulan to Mother Jia, and said with a smile: "Old lady, this is Lan'er, my big girl who used to be in front of me. She was released a while ago to be assigned to someone else, and she just came back to work today."

"Greetings, old lady." Shulan knelt down cleverly and kowtowed to Mother Jia.

"Get up." Jiamu looked at Shulan carefully, and said with a smile, "I said, why does my face look familiar? It turns out that she is the girl who used to be with you. She looks good too. Who is she assigned to?"

"Lin Zhixiao, the son of Chief Manager Lin, they asked for this marriage by themselves. I saw that Lin Zhixiao was in order, so I agreed." Madam Wang replied.

"He's not bad." Mother Jia naturally knew who Lin Zhixiao was. Originally, she planned to give him the big girl beside her, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would take the lead. Luckily, it was Lan'er, otherwise...

"Of course it's good, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed. To tell you the truth, the old lady used to be the big girl in front of me. She was the one I valued the most." Mrs. Wang said with a smile, this sentence is nonsense, if Shulan is not good, Manager Lin would not come to beg, after all, according to the unspoken rules, Lin Zhixiao should marry the girl next to Mrs. Zhang.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but Jia Mu heard the subtext from it.
