Zhou Rui's family was a little dissatisfied when they saw Aunt Zhou, but they remembered Mrs. Wang's instructions. They quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "These are all carefully selected. Your status is different now. The maids you use must also be carefully selected."
.”
Aunt Zhou heard what Zhou Rui's family said, and what she said made sense. Besides, she didn't understand these things. She thought this was the rule of the Jia family. Like the girls at Mrs. Wang's place, they were very provocative one by one.
Aunt Zhou then randomly selected three of the little girls in this room.
When Zhou Rui's family saw that Aunt Zhou had finished choosing someone, they turned around and said to Chuncao and the others, "I would also like to congratulate the three girls. From now on, each of them will only have one tael of silver a month, and they have all been promoted to maids."
Chun Cao, Qiao Lian and others were very surprised by the sudden good news. Especially Qiao Lian and Xia Mai, who were originally third-class maids, now became first-class. From now on, their food and clothing expenses are the same.
It was very different before.
Qiao Lian is the smartest among them. With a change of mind, she understands the truth. They can now say that one of them has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. Their uncle is now the biggest official in Rongguo Mansion, so naturally the people around them also
Take advantage of it.
"We are all thanks to Madam's kindness today, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today regardless of what we want." Qiaolian kept saying words of gratitude to Mrs. Wang.
Seeing that Qiaolian was so good at talking, Zhou Rui's family also said with a smile on her face: "The girls are what they are today because of their own efforts. Otherwise, even if Madam wants to promote her, she won't be able to see it."
Then Zhou Rui's family said a few words to Aunt Zhou, then took the remaining girls and left.
Aunt Zhou led everyone into the main room and sat on the low couch next to the window. Qiaolian was obediently beside her, tapping her shoulders. Chuncao couldn't help but curl her lips when she looked at Qiaolian's appearance.
Only Xia Mai has not yet reacted to the surprise. Why has she become a maid all of a sudden? She can be on an equal footing with the other people in my wife's house.
Aunt Zhou looked at the three little girls who followed and asked, "What are your names? How old are you?"
One of the older ones, with big, watery eyes, stood up first and knelt down. He said in a soft voice, "My maiden name is Li and my nickname is Xing'er. I kowtow to my aunt."
When the remaining two people saw Xing'er's behavior, they also reacted and hurriedly knelt down together, kowtowed to Aunt Zhou, and each introduced themselves.
"My maid's surname is Li, and my name is Cuihua." This girl looks good, but she looks a little crazy.
"Slave Zhang Cuilian, please give my regards to my aunt." The last girl seemed to speak fluently and she was a cheerful girl.
Aunt Zhou rubbed her brows. She had never had so many people serve her, and she didn't know how to arrange them.
Seeing that she had no idea, Qiaolian whispered in her ear: "Why don't we let them do some chores outside? The three of us are enough for the house."
Aunt Zhou nodded and said to the three of them in a gentle tone: "We don't have much to do in the house, so the three of you will help Chun Cao and the others. By the way, you can clean the house, sweep the yard, cook in the kitchen and so on.
Just let the three of them do the work in the house."
It was Xing'er and the three of them who agreed together, "I understand."
"Xia Mai, take the three of them to the wing to find a room for them to live in." Aunt Zhou then ordered.
Xia Mai had now recovered. After hearing Aunt Zhou's instructions, she quickly agreed. Then she said to a new girl, "Come with me. I'll find a room for you." Then she walked proudly in front of them.
go out.
The three girls followed Xia Mai out. When Qiaolian saw the three of them going out, she quietly said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I think the three of them came with bad intentions."
Aunt Zhou looked at her inexplicably, not understanding what she just said.
"Auntie, think about it, every house has maids who work, and they are looking for them according to the appearance of those few people. This is not looking for a maid, it is clearly looking for an aunt, who is always causing trouble to the uncle." Qiaolian was standing next to her.
While explaining, his eyes kept rolling.
Aunt Zhou and Chuncao next to her, what she said made sense. Those three didn't look like they were working at first glance, and they were somewhat similar to Aunt Zhao.
Now they still don't understand what Mrs. Wang means, giving her so many beautiful girls. When Jia Ke comes back, what if they fall in love with one of them? Or even fall in love with them all. Maybe, Jia Ke will be in this gentle countryside.
Lost in it.
Aunt Zhou thought about it and couldn't help but clenched her hands into fists. But she finally let go. She knew Jia Ke very well. Since she started practicing martial arts, she has very strong self-discipline. She has been with Chuncao, Qiaolian and the others for several years.
, and there was no deviant behavior. Thinking about it, the concentration is still very good.
Chun Cao was the first to follow Aunt Zhou, and she also knew Aunt Zhou best. Seeing that Aunt Zhou wanted to compromise, she was very anxious. Although the uncle had promised her to be his aunt, wasn't it true that the matter had not yet been completed? There was a coincidence.
She was already in trouble enough when Lian came to fight. Now three more beauties have come, will she be allowed to live?
Chun Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he found a solution as soon as he turned his eyes, and then said to himself: "When you mentioned this matter, it reminded me of the uncle again. I don't know how the uncle is doing alone now.
?I don’t know if anyone will take care of me when I eat and sleep? Is she getting fat or losing weight? How can a grown man take care of himself?"
Aunt Zhou was listening to Chun Cao talking to herself, and couldn't help but feel worried. Her son had been gone for half a year. Although he was going to be an official, it was good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it was difficult to go out for a day. He had been used to being cared for since he was a child.
Who will take care of this person now? As I thought about it, I couldn't help but shed tears.
With Qiaolian's cleverness, she knew what was going on as soon as Chuncao opened her mouth. She was just coaxing Aunt Zhou to beg the master and send her to the border to serve him. I'm afraid what she was thinking in her heart was that the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water.
By the time the uncle comes back from the border, she will probably become his aunt.
Naturally, Qiao Lian couldn't let Chun Cao take the lead, so she continued what Chun Cao said: "Yes, my cousin has been taken care of by the two of us these years. Now he is alone outside, with no one to help him dress and eat. Now he has lost weight.
How about it? Just thinking about it makes me anxious."
When Chun Cao heard Qiao Lian's words, she glared at her fiercely, which meant that you are everywhere.
Not to be outdone, Qiaolian looked at her contemptuously and answered her with her eyes, "I won't let you take the lead."
Aunt Zhou didn't notice the exchange of looks between the two of them at all, and was immersed in the atmosphere of worrying about Jia Ke. Finally she seemed to have made up her mind, and then said to Chuncao, "I will go and beg the master tomorrow to send you to him.
It's not as good as home, and you'll definitely have to endure hardships. I'm going to wrong you this time. I just don't know if you're willing to do it?"
After listening to Aunt Zhou's words, Chuncao's eyes flashed with excitement. How could she be unwilling?
"Auntie, I am willing. Don't worry, leave the uncle to me. I will definitely take good care of him."
Qiaolian heard that Aunt Zhou only mentioned that Chun Cao should go and had no intention of letting her go. She knew that Aunt Zhou felt sorry for her, but this was not what she wanted.
Looking at Aunt Zhou's today, she couldn't help but think of her own tomorrow. She must not let Chun Cao get there first.
Qiaolian pinched herself hard, and tears flowed out of her eyes. She choked and said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I miss my cousin too. I have been with him for such a long time, and we suddenly separated.
, I haven’t seen him for almost half a year. I don’t know why, but sometimes I cry just thinking about it. I also want to see my cousin, do you think it’s okay?” After saying that, he looked at Aunt Zhou with expectant eyes.
