Chapter 1437: The arrangement of the courtyard, the surprise of the two girls
In fact, in this era, the ranks of other officials or maids and servants of wealthy families were equally strict and insurmountable! Speaking of concubines, they were actually just the top maids. This was the biggest difference between wives and concubines.
As for the other maids, they don't do whatever they want! The first-class maids work in the room, and are usually the closest people to the lady or madam! They control almost everything in the room, and may even have the opportunity to serve the master.
The second-class girls serve tea and water, but they are much worse than the first-class ones.
As for those at the lower level, they are not even qualified to enter the house at will! Including some rough ladies and the like, most of them clean the yard and do some heavy work.
However, the rules of the Shen family are not that strict, and the maids and wives in the family just follow the whims of the daughters.
However, since the backyard is full of female relatives, the servants are naturally not eligible to enter the backyard, so they basically have to listen to them in the front yard at any time.
The two girls, Xiang Ling and others bowed and said goodbye, and then followed Lian'er out of the hall.
Lian'er first went to select a few maids who looked pretty and well-behaved, and then led the two girls toward two courtyards not far away.
"These courtyards are where our sisters live! The one we went to just now is Sister Xiangling's courtyard! Next to it are the courtyards of Sister Mu Yu and Sister Yue.
Although Sister Ling'er is not here, the courtyard is still there! The three courtyards connected here belong to me and Yun'er!"
"However, the two girls often live together or live with the two sisters, so the courtyard is mostly empty."
"These two people next to my courtyard were picked up by Sister Xiangling at home in advance! If you live together, just pick one of them at will!"
The two girls were led into a courtyard. They looked around curiously and saw that the courtyard was exquisite and elegant, and it looked extremely comfortable!
The furnishings in the room are equally luxurious and comfortable, and they are obviously well thought out!
"You two sisters will take a look inside and outside first. If you are dissatisfied with anything, find someone to come over and fix it! Our sisters' courtyards are all arranged according to our own ideas. However, we don't understand your temperament, so
I just made some arrangements first."
"Thank you sister Lian'er, this is already very good!"
"Some supplies, fabrics, and food have been prepared in the house. If you need anything else, please tell me at any time, or ask a maid to let me know! In addition, although there is nothing at home,
No matter what the flowers are for, Sister Xiangling also told me that each of you sisters will receive five hundred taels of silver per month! This is the same as mine and Yun'er."
"However, this is not a foregone conclusion! Our Shen family dare not say that we are rich, but we are not short of family income. If you need anything, you can come to me or find some sisters at any time!"
"These sisters are very good-natured. They don't punish us on weekdays, and they are extremely considerate to us. So, you two sisters, don't be restrained! You are not used to it now. I think you will get used to it after a while.
"
"This room is given to you two by the sisters! The silk fabrics and gold, silver and jade ornaments are given by the two sisters Xiangling and Mu Yu. You can use them yourself, or you can give them to other maids.
Those small items were made by myself and Yun'er, they are not precious things, they are just a piece of our heart."
"Sister Yue gave you two two tall horses, but they are kept in the stables in the outer courtyard. When you have free time, you can go and have a look! In addition, our sisters all have carriages and sedans, and they are all outside.
Courtyard, if you two sisters are in need, you can ask the maid to call at any time."
"Now, Sister Xiangling is pregnant, so we will take more care of her when she goes in and out. There is nothing else trivial."
After the explanation, Lian'er turned to the maids behind her and said, "These two sisters are also the master's wives. You take good care of and serve you on weekdays, and your rewards are indispensable! If anyone dares to be unruly, don't do it.
I blame you sisters for blaming me!"
The Xiangling girls were not interested in trivial matters at home, so Lian'er mostly took care of them.
Originally, Lian'er had an extremely weak temperament, but she gradually became a bit tough and prestigious! Otherwise, there would be more than dozens of maids, maids, wives and servants in this family?
Even if you don't have much ability, you can't control yourself.
Several maids hurriedly nodded in response. The heroine of the Shen family was usually very good to her servants, and her treatment was unmatched by other families. Therefore, they did not want to lose this job.
"You two sisters, you are tired from the journey, so take a rest first, and I will go and inform the sisters.
In addition, you two are here for the first time today, and we will all have dinner in Sister Xiangling's room later in the evening.
On weekdays, we also get together, so it’s okay to eat by yourself.”
After saying that, Lian'er said goodbye and left.
Yisha and the two hurriedly led a few girls to send Lian'er to the door. Only when Lian'er's figure disappeared did they breathe a sigh of relief and turned towards the courtyard.
After marching into the courtyard, several maids hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to the two ladies!"
The two women were startled, then waved their hands in panic, "Get up quickly, there is no need to salute!"
The maid at the head was blessed and said respectfully, "Madam, my maid is named Miao'er. I have the honor to serve the two ladies. If you have anything to do with me, please give me your orders at any time! In addition, if the two ladies have any preferences, please let me know at any time.
So that I can be prepared!"
Ayi looked curiously at the maids in front of her. They were similar in age to her sisters, and they behaved well. They were even more in awe of the two of them.
It was also the first time for Isa to encounter such a scene. She took a deep breath, then waved her hands and said, "Nothing happens for now, you can go about your own business. If anything happens, my sister and I will call you over!"
After saying that, he dragged Ayi and ran into the house!
Closing the door and being alone gave the two women a sense of security!
"Sister, you ladies seem to be very kind to us!"
Ayi said.
Isa nodded, "Yeah, but we still can't indulge. Here, keep to yourself and take care of the ladies if necessary."
Although the two girls are a little tired, how can they sleep at this moment?
Just wander around the house!
"Sister, look, these fabrics given by Sister Xiangling and Sister Muyu are really good. Have we ever seen such exquisite fabrics in our tribe?
Wow...sister, look at this silver hairpin, it’s more exquisite than the one owned by the patriarch’s wife in our clan!”
