The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

In the inverted room, a large room closest to the main room, there are some maids who are not on duty or waiting to be summoned by the masters.Yuanyang led Tang Chao in, and said to everyone, this is Tang Chao, and from now on, she is the second-class girl in the wife's room.

Tang Chao stepped forward, and said hello to the girls who were sitting or standing, or eating or drinking.Only then did she return to Yuanyang's side, waiting for Yuanyang's next move.

Yuanyang didn't say anything else, and said directly to one of the girls: "There is no one around Madam, you go up and wait on her." Then she led Tang Chao out.

If there is no one, how can it be true that there is no one.It's just that the mandarin ducks have other thoughts.

When you come out, go straight to the right along the inverted seat.Tang Chao couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. In her world, all aspects were left, right, forward and backward.

He went all the way to the door on the far right before stopping.Yuanyang took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve and opened the lock outside the door.

Looking at the bunch of keys, Tang Chao cast his admiration for the mandarin ducks in his heart.Such a large bunch of keys were all on her body and in her sleeves. Not to mention the issue of whether it was heavy or not, she was able to make no sound at all.

Amazing!

"This was originally a hut for miscellaneous goods. Because it is too small, it can only accommodate one bed. Therefore, no one has lived there. The other second-class girls are shared by two. You can live here by yourself first." I'll change it for you when I get a good one." After saying that, Yuanyang took the keys from the bunch of keys in his hand.Pass it to the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Chao took it, and said to Yuanyang to make her sister worry.Then Yuanyang smiled and said: "This house has never been lived in, so you should clean it up yourself first. If there is anything missing, or if you want to do something, just ask the women to do it. You are also second-class now. Take the second class. Putting on the momentum of waiting, so as not to lose the face of our main courtyard."

When Tang Chao heard this, he immediately replied with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I can save it." I dare not say anything else. Tang Chao has never lacked such things as momentum. Can I still give you a replacement ticket?

"Well, you pack it first. You don't need to come up to serve today. Come to me tomorrow morning. I will assign you work. Bedding and so on, someone will bring it to you in a while. Your old set Yes, let the person who delivered the bedding collect it himself." After finishing speaking, he called a rough envoy who had been standing not far away to come over.

"This is your sister Tang Chao. I just moved here today. Don't worry about the other work. Let's follow your sister Tang Chao." Little girl, usually responsible for some chores.Even the Tang Dynasty, who had just arrived not long ago, knew this.

A few days ago, her biggest wish was to work hard and get second class.In addition to easy work and more monthly money, it is because of the corruption of capitalism.

In the past, I often heard people say that it is better to marry a servant girl from a big family than a girl from a small family.Move the breath and raise the body.Even the maid of a second-class waiter can have a little girl to serve her.You can imagine the life of the daughter of this big family's maidservant compared to a small family.

Not to mention that these maidservants have been tuned.Teach, and then walk around in a rich family.Knowledge is naturally higher than those daughters of small families who are not at the same level.

The ancients said that a good housewife can benefit a family for three generations.A knowledgeable housewife, even more so.

Although this cannot be denied, not all maidservants are good.There are also some who have the bad habits of big families, and these really need to be checked carefully.

So, in a certain situation, everyone's maid and Xiaohu Biyu have their advantages and disadvantages.It cannot be generalized.

"Hi sister, my name is Xiaoyue. If my sister has anything to do in the future, just ask me to go." The little girl is only about ten years old, and she seems to be a little older than Tang Chao.

Tang Chao put away the thoughts that had traveled thousands of miles, smiled at her, and did not speak.He just turned around and politely sent the mandarin duck away.

Decades later, Jiamu Shi's eldest daughter is still called Yuanyang.It really is a barracks made of iron, soldiers of flowing water.Fortunately, after these girls get married, they usually don't need their own names, otherwise, if they call out 'Mandarin Duck', there will be a large number of people who turn back.

After Yuanyang left, Tang Chao carefully looked at the single room.

It's really small and pitiful.The whole room is about [-] meters long and [-] meters wide, about seven square meters in size.

The position of the windows is also improper.The house is on the far right.Plus the room is a slender strip.The window can only be opened a half by the door.Moreover, with the doors and windows added up, there is not even half a meter of wall on this side.You can see how small the house is.

Compared with the other houses I walked past just now, the windows of this room are not as big as one-third of others.No wonder no one lives there.

There was only a canopy bed inside.Bedding, curtains, etc., it is estimated that the housekeepers will deliver them in a while.

The bed is placed against the wall on the right.After placing the bed, there is only about half a meter of aisle left in the whole room.

However, although the room looks a little narrower, the length is enough.If the canopy bed is placed across the back wall, there will be an open space of about one and a half meters.

If you plan well, you can live comfortably even if you live alone.

Another one, she is quite satisfied with this room.Especially when Tang Chao got up from the Datong bunk in the eight-person room this morning.This kind of satisfaction is from the heart.

Just when Xiaoyue was very winking and found a rag from nowhere to plaster, the women who delivered the bedding also arrived.

No matter what happened in the Tang Dynasty, it was the savior. The wife mentioned it personally, and the grandma ordered preferential treatment, and there is another two.The grandma married the mother who was born as a girl.

So these women did not dare to neglect.After receiving the news, he hurriedly found a new set of bedding, and came over with a small dressing box and a matching wooden box.

"Miss Tang Dynasty, this is your bedding. Take a look, the color is still eye-catching. If you don't like it, I'll go and change it for you."

Tang Chao asked Xiaoyue to take the things over, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for your troubles, mothers, I have trusted her eyes. I am still in a hurry here, so I won't let my mother drink tea. The set of bedding I used before , please trouble mom to get the file by herself.”

After that, he pretended to grab a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the woman on the opposite side, "Mothers, don't think too little, save it for tea." '

She remembered that whether it was the Red Mansion or Qing Chuanwen, if someone did work, they must be rewarded.She has just arrived, and it is her first time, so no one should underestimate her.

She still has some money in her hand. When she was in bed two days ago, Mrs. Tang, that is, her mother, gave her a lot of pocket money during the few days when her mother came to watch over her.Since Tang Chao's father left, the family didn't have any big expenses.The couple lived in the house for food and clothing, and saved a little money seriously.

Tang Chaoniang originally wanted to take Tang Chao into her family to raise her, but there were only the two of them in the house, and she had to go to work during the day.She is not at ease about keeping the girl in her own home.

Although you can ask for leave and come back, it will be two.Grandma was just pregnant, and she was busy with sewing, and she couldn't open her mouth very well, so she left the girl to live here.Whenever she is free, I come to see her.It is also more convenient than leaving the house to go home.

Tang Chao couldn't trust Datongpu, so after recovering from her illness, her mother never came here again.All the valuable things were received in that one square meter space.So pulling out his sleeves at this time is just imitating the action of Yuanyang just now.

The mothers-in-law accepted the bounty, how could they be unhappy.With this joy, even the toilet that was said to be missing in the house was brought over a quarter of an hour later.

The toilets of the ancients were all in the corners of the yard.At night, going to the toilet is particularly troublesome.Especially in winter.So in this yard, every second-class girl will be equipped with a toilet in the room for convenience at night.

However, this toilet is usually taken out by the woman in the yard in the morning, and then cleaned.In the afternoon, they were delivered to the room one by one.The Tang Dynasty has just arrived today, but these things have not been matched yet.

There was such a thing in Tang Chao's memory, and he didn't postpone it, just thanked him.But in my heart I don't think so.If she didn't give this tip, wouldn't she have no use for this toilet?

What's the matter, who is it?

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty sent someone to send a small high table that can be used to put flowers or candlesticks that I saw in Shi's house just now.There is no room for a table in this room, but some commonly used things cannot be placed on the floor.

But at this time, she knew that the high tables, washbasins and candlesticks were managed separately.They have no such objects in their hands.

After seeing off the mother-in-law, Tang Chao asked Xiaoyue to bring back all her clothes from the Datong shop.Those clothes of hers are of good material.Her mother just watched her live, so she was very willing to spend money on her.

And her mother is good at needlework, and she has been in charge of the needlework of Erfang Wang's.Mrs. Wang often gave her mother some clothes she didn't wear.Her mother put together a piece of clothing that no one else had seen before.

It looks good, and the material is also good.Those girls who work with her are always envious.

After Xiaoyue heard the order, she asked carefully where the other things of the Tang Dynasty were kept.So I can take it back with her.

"I also have a wooden box in that room, and everything is locked in the box. You can just ask the mother-in-law to help you carry it back." Sleeping on a big bunk, you can't put all your things outside.

Xiaoyue responded, turned around and left.But when I walked to the door, I thought about it.Then he called a woman who had a good relationship with her in the yard to the house and asked her to help Tang Chao tidy up the house.

When the old woman came, Tang Chao didn't say anything.Just ask her to call someone else.According to her intention, the canopy bed on the right wall was placed horizontally.

The canopy bed is only two meters long, and depending on the size of the bed, it is only about 1.5 meters.Lay it sideways against the back wall.There will be a lot more space in the house.

Although in this way, the bed will face the window and the door. Anyway, when it is cold, the door is equipped with cotton curtains, and if you add a thick curtain about one meter in the room, the wind will not be blown at all. Can't blow in.

The old woman moved the bed and helped lay the bed curtains and other things, and then she took the reward and went out.

It was said that the Rongguo Mansion was extremely extravagant, Tang Chao glanced at the floor of the house and had to admit this statement.

It turned out that the Datong paved floor was, well, all stone.In such a small room, the floor inside is actually covered with wooden floors.Although it doesn't look as good as the one in the main room, who would lay the floor for the servant's room in ordinary people?

After looking down at the floor, Tang Chao looked up at the roof.Because it is an inverted house, the roof is not high.It is estimated that it is only two meters high.

Looking at her height, she didn't think it was too low.Turn around and let Xiaoyue get a candlestick for herself and put it on.As for the suitcase and dressing box that came together, Tang Chao put them in the open space at the foot of the bed, and stacked them on top of Xiaoyue when she brought the suitcase in. The height of the two suitcases was exactly 1.2 meters.

Put the dresser on top.Standing just right for her height.
