If we really wanted to talk about these four girls, the one she was most dissatisfied with before was Xiao Tao.
Because Xiao Tao is a bit stupid and not as smart as the others with winks.
Fortunately, Shengsheng is obedient and can be taught anything.
As for being stupid, she doesn't have to worry about it. She doesn't need her to use her brain.
Now, being obedient has become a drawback.
You can listen to Shu Shu and her family.
Since her family members had this idea, they couldn't get what they wanted, so they only had resentment.
When the time comes, who knows what will happen to Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao is her personal girl, and she must not be left out casually.
Xiaochun heard the noise outside and came in holding a candlestick.
"Gege, don't worry about that stupid thing... How has Gege treated her all these years? How has her parents, brothers and sister-in-law treated her? Anyone who has a trace of conscience will not listen to those bastard words in vain and not say a word to Gege..."
When Xiaochun mentioned this matter, he still resented it: "Just hand it over to Madam directly... regardless of saving her face..."
Shu Shu smiled bitterly: "I am also worried about this...she came to serve me when she was seven years old. We have been together for ten years, and I also hope that everything will start well and end well..."
Xiao Chun was silent for a while and said: "Didn't Sister-in-law Zhou ask Xiao Tao on behalf of her brother-in-law last year..."
When Shu Shu heard this, she couldn't help but be startled.
The "Sister-in-law Zhou" in Xiao Chun's mouth is Yunshan, Shu Shu's eldest maid when she was a child. A few years ago, when she reached the age of 18, she was asked to marry her eldest grandson by Aunt Zhou, and she had already decided to be Shu Shu's companion in the future.
When Yun Shan mentioned Xiao Tao to Shu Shu last year, Shu Shu only thought it was because Xiao Tao was good-looking, soft-tempered, and would not pick trouble as a sister-in-law, but she couldn't bear it.
Now that I think about it, I might have noticed that Xiao Tao was inappropriate, but it was difficult to say so directly.
Shu Shu patted her forehead: "Sister Yunshan, too. Is there anything you can't say directly?"
Xiaochun sighed: "Gege has always loved Xiaotao the most. I always felt that she was naive and stupid, and I was worried that she would suffer... But the slave looked at her temperament and didn't know how to praise her. The better she was to her, the more she was ungrateful.
She only wants to please those who are not good to her... If nothing else, let's just say that Xiaotang is not close to the family and has broken up her fellow sisters. She treats Xiaotao as if she is her own sister, but Xiaotao treats her just like a normal girl. She has always been a slave.
When she was not warm and always scolded her, she took the initiative to please her slave... These words were not easy to say to Princess before, but they seemed to sow discord. Now that she was about to leave, Princess also thought about whether she was
This character? It’s just such a confused temperament. If the cleverness is not there, there is no need to feel sad for her..."
Shu Shu was silent.
No one is perfect. I was not like Xiao Tao before. I only saw her being honest and obedient. Now that I think about it, I am afraid I am not a fool.
Where does this mean "ignoring appreciation"?
It's just another kind of "snobbery".
Among the several maids, Xiao Chun is the most valued by Shu Shu and is the general manager in the yard; Xiao Tang is a taciturn person. The small kitchen was only set up in the past two years. Before, it was just like making up the numbers and had no existence.
feel.
"That's all, let's not mention her... But you, what are your thoughts on getting married... You said before that you wanted to find someone in my uncle's family, but I'm afraid that won't work this time. The old people serving my uncle are all my father-in-law..."
Thinking of the old words between master and servant, Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh: "But as long as you don't rush, there will be something good in the future. When you come out of the palace, you will be an official, and you will choose the ones with higher grades among the guards..."
Xiao Chun also laughed: "Then slaves can wait, and they will also get a pardon when the time comes... Not only must they choose high-ranking ones, but also handsome ones. After the babies are born, they will serve the little master... What if they are ugly?
, that slave can’t look down upon..."
The master and servant chatted and laughed, suppressing their anxiety about the future life.
The next day, Shu Shu told Jueluo Shi about Xiao Tao: "Enie will take care of the arrangements. The daughter will not be kept..."
Jueluoshi nodded: "Don't worry, let's change jobs with Sanxi first..."
Sanxi is the hair-combing maid in Jueluo's room. She is the granddaughter of Grandma Wu. She has an ordinary appearance, but she has a pair of skillful hands. Not only is her hair well-combed, but her clothes are also more colorful. She is similar in age to Xiaotao, but she is considered Xiaotao's.
Half a master.
Shu Shu naturally had no objection. The more technical talents of this kind, the better.
When Shu Shu came out of the upper room, she brought Sanxi back.
Xiaotao was in tears, kneeling on the ground and refusing to leave: "Gege, I won't leave... I don't want to leave Gege..."
Shu Shu looked directly at Xiao Tao and chuckled: "Who said you should leave...Choose a family and become a roommate with me when you go out, it will last forever..."
Xiao Tao was stunned, looked at Xiao Chun and the others, her eyes fell on Xiao Tang's face, and she complained tearfully: "You did it on purpose, you were so jealous of me that you sincerely wanted to squeeze me away... Just a few gossips, that's all.
Making trouble in front of Princess..."
Xiaotang sneered: "Who do you think you are? Worthy of my jealousy?! Just a few gossips? Are you feeling guilty? Why did you put away the little clothes that wrap around your breasts? And you secretly complained that Gege only took Sister Xiaochun with her when she went out...you
Now that you have sneaky thoughts, even if Gege is soft-hearted and can tolerate you, I will report it to my wife and deal with you!"
Xiao Tao sat softly in a ball and cried loudly: "I didn't...I didn't...you wronged me..."
Shu Shu felt upset after hearing this, waved her hands to the ladies, and pulled Xiao Tao down.
Shu Shu looked at Xiaotang and said: "Don't be upset...it's not worth it, everyone is worthy of her..."
Xiaotang's face was full of anger: "I only hate that I am blind and crippled, so I can see through her. She is such a wolf-hearted person!"
Shu Shutan, Xiaotang is not the only one who is blind and lame.
I don't claim to be an adult either. I look at all the girls as if they are children. They also have a nurturing filter, and they all have beautiful looks.
Sanxi is a newcomer, so it's hard to comment on the old ones, but seeing the solemn atmosphere, he interrupted and said: "Now that the slave has come out of the madam's room, it's not easy to take the name. Please give me your name..."
The maid in Jueluo's house, the eldest maid, said "good fortune, wealth, longevity and joy", and the three blessings were in the name of Shu Shu, so she said this.
Shu Shu was a sucker for naming names and had no habit of changing people's names, so he said, "What's my sister's original name? If it sounds right, I'll change it back."
Sanxi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "My nickname is Brother Xing, which is too heavy for Sister-in-law Lin... I have worked really hard, so I help you think of one. It sounds like I am in the same group as Xiaochun and the others..."
"Sister-in-law Lin" was Shu Shu's other married maid, Ginkgo, who was pointed out to her nanny, so Sanxi said they had the same name.
"Then it's called Xiaoyu, which is also a tree of longevity..." Shu Shu thought for a while and chose the longest-lived elm tree among jujube, pear, locust tree and elm.
Sanxi was immediately happy and blessed: "Xie Gege rewarded me with a good name, and this slave will be called Xiaoyu from now on..."
Although Xiaoyu is older and has been working as an errand in Jueluo's house for many years, she doesn't care about her. She always puts Xiaochun in her head, so she naturally takes over Xiaotao's errand and blends in.
On the other hand, Xiaochun and the three of them were very nervous because of the new arrival.
Shu Shu couldn't help but feel ashamed when she saw it, and she finally remembered this lesson.
No wonder the girls who go to the house are not always the right ones, or there are one or two more, or one or two less. The girls there are very "motivated", unlike in her yard, where everyone starts the retirement mode comfortably.
Shu Shu was worried about the candidate for her dowry, and Brother Jiu was worried too. He was very upset.
*
Imperial Palace, Qianxi Fifth Palace, Second Palace.
"What do you mean Chun Tai? Does this mean you haven't given up yet?"
Brother Jiu was pacing back and forth with a livid face. He was very annoyed, but he also knew what was right. He couldn't talk about this to outsiders, so he complained to He Yuzhu: "I bought a neighboring village and said he didn't do it on purpose. Who would believe it?" "
He Yuzhu didn't know what expression to make, so he answered helplessly: "It's all handled by the steward. Prince Kang may not even know that the two Zhuangzi are next to each other..."
Brother Jiu glared at He Yuzhu: "Among all the princes' palaces, Prince Kang's palace is the richest. Not to mention that the palace is almost half the size of the palace. At that time, the capital enclosed the most land. How rare is it to buy a small village of several hundred acres? This Do you, my slave, believe this?"
He Yuzhu blinked: "Even if I bought it specially, it is normal to want to add makeup to Master Fujin. My direct cousins... As Master Fujin said, Dong E's family is not well-off, his wife's dowry is not generous, and Master Fujin wants to marry into the royal family. In order to be close and decent, we should have more help from our relatives..."
Brother Jiu stopped and stared at He Yuzhu: "Is this normal? How can he be so idle as a prince? Asking people to prepare anything casually is not just to add to the dowry, but to add to the marriage property?"
He Yuzhu whispered: "Isn't it just idle time to guard the old prince's filial piety?"
Brother Jiu was still angry and snorted: "It's generous and respectable. A big farm of 900 acres... Back then, Guidan only asked for a small farm of 360 acres in the name of me..."
He Yuzhu couldn't say anything.
In terms of honor, my master is a prince, so he is naturally more honorable than the princes of the clan. But everyone knows that even if he is granted the title of prince in the future, he will still be granted the title of prince by grace, and his ranking will be behind the meritorious prince.
Not to mention, my master's title of nobility is far away, and I don't know when he will become a prince.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth: "Dong E's family is quite peaceful these days... Could it be that she entrusted Chun Tai?" He muttered to himself, and then said no: "No, with that boy Fu Song here, she won't send anyone away. The command...it seems that Chun Tai is really generous..."
Thinking of this, another little pink face appeared in his mind, tilting his head and asking, "What about me?...My family is not much better than the fifth sister-in-law's family...".
Brother Jiu quickly shook his head to dispel the figures in his mind, but he hesitated a little: "The Dong E family seems to be living in a very poor life, otherwise she would not regard the jewelry shop as her lifeblood, and would rather fight a lawsuit.
Nor willing to change hands..."
He Yuzhu nodded: "It's almost the same... Even if Dong E's family is prosperous, the majority of its wealth is still in the clan... Master Fujin's branch, although it is the direct branch, can be regarded as a collateral branch. The uncle who heads the family is also sick, so he is not taking advantage of his laurels...
…”
Brother Jiu frowned: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, how can it be worse? Do you really want me to add makeup to her?"
