The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

After eating, everyone separated, and Xiuyan's mother and daughter came down to the residence led by Sister Feng. It turned out that among the girls, because the second girl was from Dafang's side, she happened to have an unused backyard here, and a tree grew in the middle of the yard. There was a big elm tree, so Sister Feng placed Xiuyan here. The old lady was impeccable, and Mrs. Xing had nothing to say.

Sister Feng said: "It's getting late now. I've ordered someone to clean the room. You two can make do with it tonight. I'll send a nanny and my aunt to fetch the girl's things early tomorrow morning." Sister Feng yawned twice, "I've worked all day today, and I'm tired. I'll come and see you tomorrow. That's all for today, let's rest!"

On the second day, a nanny knocked on the door early in the morning, Hu's eyes were dim with sleep, but Xiuyan woke up with a start, pushed her mother and said, "Mom, someone is here!"

Mrs. Hu rubbed her eyes and complained: "Who is knocking on the door? Do you want someone to sleep?" .

The old mother heard complaints in the room, so she looked in through the crack of the door, and then shouted loudly: "It's me, Mother Zhou, grandma sent me!"

It was only then that Mrs. Hu remembered that there was still such a thing to do this morning, so she hurriedly put on her clothes, shoes and socks, without washing her face or combing her hair, opened the door and bowed her hands, apologizing: "I don't know Sister Zhou, if there was any collision just now, please look at Sister Haihan!"

Nanny Zhou is an old nanny in the garden. She is over half a century old, but she is well maintained. Because she is still a little dewy in the early morning, she is wearing a stand-up collar with silver thread all over her body. Although she is older than Mrs. Hu He is in his teens, but with his attire and proud demeanor, he throws Mrs. Hu several blocks away.

Nanny Zhou looked at Mrs. Hu from top to bottom and said, "Hey, he's still asleep!"

"Mama is laughing. The country people are used to sleeping on hard board beds. They suddenly changed to big beds. They are not used to it. They suffer from insomnia all night, so they wake up late!"

Nanny Zhou smiled lightly, and didn't waste any time talking with her. After a long time, Nanny Zhou and Mrs. Hu came back with Xiuyan's things. Coincidentally, Sister Feng also brought Ping'er and a little girl. There was nothing in Yan's luggage except a few clothes and a pack of handwritten books. Sister Feng was very surprised when she saw it.

Hu explained: "Who would take those belongings with him when he is away from home? Sell everything that can be sold, and exchange the tickets so that you can go on the road. If you don't want any weird things when you arrive in the capital, but this child Niu Xin, You must bring that useless scroll to make the girl laugh!"

Sister Feng thought that what Hu said was reasonable, but it was outrageous that there were no decorations in this room, so she told Ping'er, "Take the key and go to the warehouse to get some decorations!"

"The things in and out of the warehouse are recorded. Some things are used during the New Year and holidays. Please let me know which ones to take!" Ping'er said.

"Have you been following me for nothing? You see that the yard is full of emerald greens, but there is no red. It is in the same style as Miss Lin's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Just pick two pieces of the red Xiaying gauze." Wouldn't it be good to paste the windows for your sister Xing? Although this room is a little bit off, it is very quiet, and it is big and spacious. The windows on both sides have convective wind. If there are screens, it will block it. It's better to have nothing Let it go, it’s just that the dressing table in the women’s room of this boudoir is indispensable. I remember that last year, on the birthday of the old matriarch, Princess Bei Jing sent a set of dressing tables with marble inlaid Western glass. In the house!"

"Nanai, there's no way to keep that thing, it's already taken away by the second master!"

"It must have been caused by the girls in his house again. No matter what good things are in the house, they will run away? Let the master move into their own house!"

"Who says it's not, but the old lady loves him!"

"What else is there in Curry?"

"A set of J-wing wood from Shoushan Bo's family is still there!"

"That's it. By the way, pick up four or five half-person-high flower pots and send them to the gardener, and ask them to make a few potted plants and send them here."

"Then whose head are these things scratching?"

"No one in my family praises you for being so smart. I think you are getting more and more confused as you live. Your sister Xiuyan is a guest of the old lady, and this house was also ordered by the old lady to clean it up for your sister Xiuyan to live in. These things are not in the name of the old lady, but in your and my name! Silly girl, go and do it!"

Ping'er hadn't gone far when Sister Feng said again in a loud voice: "By the way, see if there are any ready-made bookshelves in the library. Qian asked the carpenter to make one now!"

"Understood, Nai Nai!" Ping'er sighed and shook her head, thinking that the eldest wife's own niece doesn't care about her, and it's strange that our grandma who is so busy at home can't keep her feet on the ground all day long. It seems that this girl from the mountains not only fell in love with the old lady, but also fell in love with our grandma!

How could the Hu family know the complicated rules in the big family, let alone understand the ingenuity in the conversation between the master and the servant, and thought that he would give those things to their wives for free, so he kowtowed in gratitude However, she didn't know that the things that were accounted for belonged to the public, and no one could take them away.

After Ping'er left, Sister Feng said: "We don't have any extra manpower in the garden. I bought this little girl for you to order at a price of a few bucks! She is a novice and has no name. Now she is yours." If you don’t know her, you just give her a random name, teach her and teach her to do it!”

Xiuyan said: "Thank you grandma for your kindness, but I'm not used to bossing girls around!"

"What kind of grandma, more births, we two are of the same generation, you can call me Sister Feng, all the girls in the garden are maids, you are the only one who doesn't have one, it's not good-looking!"

Xiuyan didn't say anything more, but it was Mrs. Hu who couldn't do anything about it: "We country people are not worthy of ordering people around. If you don't, you can't!"

Aunt Zhou on the side wanted to laugh when she saw Mrs. Hu's appearance, thinking that a countryman is indeed a countryman, and she has never seen anything in the world.

"Since I bought it, I'm yours. Just do what you want. I'm afraid one is not enough. Fortunately, the second girl has a gentle personality, and she has a group of maids. If you have anything to do, you can order them around. What's more, since the house has been placed in the middle, my aunt can no longer call herself a countryman!"

Mrs. Hu had no choice but to accept it, watching the little girl coldly, with a childish face and a childlike innocence, she might not be easy to control, but the two of them did what they could do by themselves, and they didn't expect anyone to order them around.

Sister Feng turned around and said to Nanny Zhou: "You stay with her to serve sister Xiuyan. She is young and doesn't understand anything. You are an old man in the mansion. You have experience. From now on, you will be her half." You bitch, lead her, don't make any mistakes!"

When Sister Feng said this, it was like thunder from the dry sky blasted over Nanny Zhou's head. She never dreamed that Sister Feng would leave her here to serve a country girl: "Nanai, I am used to serving you by your side. I, I"

Sister Feng waved her hand and said: "I've made up my mind! Besides, you don't want you to do anything here, but just looking after the yard is considered a minor job. There are few people here, and there are not many things. It's free. You came here to work as an errand, but you are actually here to enjoy yourself!" Since Sister Feng said so, Nanny Zhou has nothing to say.

At this time, Ping'er sent a woman to ask Sister Feng if she should go home for lunch or eat here together. Sister Feng said: "It's so hot, who wants to run around, tell them to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks here!"

So the man followed Sister Feng's advice and went back to Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen.

Here, Sister Feng continued to instruct: "There are too many things to avoid, and it is inevitable to neglect. If there is something short, please ask Mother Zhou to come to me to get it! If you have something that should be there, go to the second girl's room to get it. Don't be afraid to open your mouth. The second girl is extremely soft-tempered!" Xiuyan agreed one by one,
