A soft gauze tent with fragrant blue, musk and red, and a precious duck stove made of golden green clay.
After lunch, Zeng Ci took a nap.
The eldest county lord Zeng Nian left the cabinet, leaving only the little county lord Zeng Ci in the mansion.
Good things are coming soon for the little county head. In a few days, he will be engaged to the young master of the Ke family.
Two maids were standing side by side on the porch talking. It was the custom of Xiaoxian's children to spend two hours alone in the room during the day.
No one is allowed to disturb it, everyone in the house knows it.
"Our eldest lady is so kind. Before she left the palace, she took out all the things in her house and sorted them out, and rewarded the servants in this house with many things." A maid said, "Look at this cotton-padded jacket on me, it's the eldest lady.
The worn ones are just like new ones."
"I got two pairs of shoes. My feet are almost the same as the eldest lady's. Those two pairs of shoes are also new, one pair is water red and the other is autumn color. I can't bear to wear them. I want to wait until the Chinese New Year to wear them for my dad when I go home.
Mom, look." The other maid was also delighted.
These rewards were an unexpected blessing, not to mention that anything they had ever wanted to use would never be bad. Little girls like them had nowhere to buy them even with their money.
Young ladies from wealthy families in the capital would give some clothes and items to their servants before leaving the palace.
Because all the clothes that are packed and carried over have to be new, not old ones.
With a background like Zeng Nian's, you can't take anyone with you, even if you are new, if you don't like it, you can't take it with you.
"Our eldest lady is really a first-class good person, but it's a pity that she always doesn't get what she wants." It was a rare sunny day, and there was nothing to do at the moment, so the two girls leaned against the pillars to bask in the sun.
When it came to the rewarded clothes, he kept talking.
Zeng Nian was beautiful and kind-hearted, but fell from a horse and could not walk for several years.
Finally my leg healed, and I got engaged to Chen Siwen again.
But now Chen Siwen is ill and unconscious, and no one knows whether Zeng Nian will become a widow.
"Stop talking about this, do you think it is our eldest brother-in-law who is more beautiful, or our younger brother-in-law?" Another maid changed the subject, saying that if someone heard such unlucky words, she would be scolded.
Although Ke Wangchen has not yet been engaged to Zeng Ci, everyone in the house has already called him brother-in-law.
Both Chen Siwen and Ke Wangchen are rare handsome men. Every time the maids in the mansion see them, they can't help but look at them more. No one doesn't blush and their heart beats.
"They are all like gods descending to earth, how can you tell the difference?" said the maid who was asked.
"Then which one do you prefer?" the other asked reluctantly.
"Oh my God, are you crazy? Is this allowed to be said?" the maid warned in a low voice, "Watch your skin!"
"Well, we are just talking, what's the big deal?" The other one disagreed, "People like us can't get in front of others. Life is no better than that of others. The one who is near the water and the towers gets the moon first."
The maid heard something in her words and asked in a low voice: "Who are you talking about?"
"It's Sister Baozhu," the other one said after looking at no one on the left and right. "She will definitely marry the little county master when the time comes. There are four dowry girls in total, and at least one of them must be the first wife."
A dowry girl is married to her husband's family along with her master's wife, and she must take a concubine for the male master after three years at most.
Generally, one of the girls in the dowry will be chosen as the wife.
Firstly, the girl accompanying the family is the confidant of the mistress, and secondly, her background means that she can never step on the master, otherwise she will forget her roots.
"You also said there were four, why must it be her?" The listener seemed a little dissatisfied.
"You don't know, a few days ago I heard Baozhu and Qingluo say that my sister-in-law would smile at her every time he saw her. Doesn't this mean he likes her?" In fact, this one was also a little angry.
"Ouch! Why didn't I see it? Look, she shaved her head and picked out her hair!" The words between the two became bitter and mean, "Actually, the most frivolous among the four of them is Bao Zhu, and she is only in Miss
You're just pretending to be stupid, why don't you say anything behind the master's back? I don't think my brother-in-law will pay attention to her."
"That's what I say, but after all, she came with the dowry. We see each other every day without looking up, and if we make some small gestures and be attentive, maybe we will have to call her aunt in a few years. And she also said,
She and her sister-in-law share the same birthday, so those born on the same day should be husband and wife, and they have been tied with a red thread a long time ago."
"Hey! Fortunately, she has the nerve to say it! It's not the lady who has the final say as to who will be the one to marry her! Will it be her turn to have her wish come true?"
Who doesn’t like a man of noble birth and handsome appearance?
It's just that their reincarnations were not done well and their status was low. Being a concubine would already be a high-end gift.
The two chattered for a while, then they didn't bother to talk anymore.
"I remembered, it's time to pick up the clothes I sent to the washing room. Don't ask people to come with you. Come with me!" This reminded me that I still have work to do.
The other one said: "It feels really comfortable for me to bask in the sun here. You can go by yourself. I don't have much clothes anyway."
This one grabbed her and said with a smile: "You are so frivolous! Now that I don't have new shoes, why should I be afraid of walking two steps?"
The other one couldn't refuse, so he stood up and followed.
The days in winter are simply ridiculously short, and it’s already midnight in a blink of an eye when you wake up in the morning.
The two maids walked to the door of the inner room and listened to what was going on inside.
Usually at this time the little county boss will get up.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a slight coughing sound in the room, and the maid was busy outside and asked softly: "Miss, are you awake? The slaves can come in and take care of her!"
"Just ask Baozhu to come in alone." Zeng Ci's voice was a bit lazy, as if he had just woken up.
"The orb is outside. I'll go and ask her to come in." A maid quickly replied.
After a while, Baozhu came back from outside. She stood outside the door and said, "Girl, wait a moment. I'm cold, don't let the cold wind hit you."
"It's okay, please bring me a bowl of tea and come in." Zeng Ci's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Girl, wait a moment, I'll pour you some tea right now." Baozhu was very smart, so he immediately poured the tea and brought it in after Zeng Ci said this.
Zeng Ci had already gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Her hair was slightly disheveled, she raised her hand and swept it back, took the tea, took a sip, and put the tea cup down again.
"Baozhu, how many years have you been waiting in my room?"
"It's been three years." Baozhu didn't know why Zeng Ci asked.
Three years ago, a maid in front of Zeng Ci got a strange disease and was sent out. She was originally working as a servant in the flower house, and was chosen by the housekeeper to be sent to this house.
"It's been three years, it's quite a long time." Zeng Ci smiled and took out a pair of earrings from the jewelry box next to him, "I think this pair of earrings is a bit too small, so I'll give them to you!"
"Thank you, girl!" The orb didn't dare to be accepted, "But this is a bit too valuable, so I'd better keep it for you, girl."
"You are my personal maid, and I will reward you just right. Come here, and I will put it on for you." Zeng Ci's attitude was very firm.
Baozhu couldn't refuse, so he stepped forward, bent down, and handed over his ear.
Zeng Ci's hand was a little heavy, and Baozhu felt pain, but she didn't show it at all, and she even felt happy in her heart.
