She even secretly thought that if something bad happened in the future, she would be able to live well just by selling her jewelry.
Except for the crane-shaped hairpin.
Jiang Qingshan glanced at her, but didn't say anything else. Jiang Wu stood up and said, "Is there anything else, father? If nothing happens, I will go back and rest first."
…
The next morning, Jiang Wu woke up leisurely. Mo Hua and Yilan stood in front of the bed with a hot water basin. Yilan saluted and said, "Miss, you're awake."
Jiang Wu rubbed his eyes and said sleepily: "How long have you been here?"
Yi Lan and Mo Hua looked at each other: "According to the rules of the house, you must prepare for the eldest lady to wash up every morning."
Jiang Wu squinted his eyes and asked, "What time is it now?"
Mo Hua said: "It's already the second quarter of the morning when I get back to the eldest lady."
Good guy, I've been stuck here for half an hour.
Jiang Wu waved his hand: "From now on, this rule will be invalidated in Fuqu Pavilion. You don't have to come to my bed every hour to pester me."
Yilan panicked: "The eldest lady is not satisfied?"
Jiang Wu got out of bed, put on his shoes, and said to Yilan: "It's just not necessary. I didn't wake up in Chenshi. What are you doing in front of the bed? Can I give you a little red flower when I wake up? If so,
If I want you to wash up, I will naturally call you."
Yilan Nuonuo said: "But this is the rule in the house."
Jiang Wu sighed, looked at the two maids, and said sincerely: "I don't feel sorry for you all that much, but think about it, what if you woke up early in the morning and saw two big living people standing in front of your bed like door gods?
, will you feel comfortable if I stare at you nicely for a moment?"
Mo Hua blinked and said hesitantly: "It doesn't seem possible..."
"That's fine then."
Jiang Wu doesn't need anyone to help her wash up. After all, as a healthy modern person, it's really hard to understand that someone has to hold a handkerchief in front of her to wash her face. The existence of these two maids is just to comb her hair. She
When I was in Fusi, Beizhen, the most difficult thing was combing my hair. Sometimes I really wanted to cut it all off with just one scissor.
The maid's craftsmanship is naturally very good, and she put her hair into a beautiful bun in just a moment. When Jiang Wu first arrived at the Hou Mansion, there was no mistress in the house, so Aunt Chen took care of everything. As soon as she opened the closet, it was already filled with all kinds of modern clothes.
Fashionable clothes and the fabrics are all excellent.
After she changed her clothes and smelled the lotus fragrance, Zhishu's two maids also came in carrying food boxes from outside the door and bowed. After placing the meals on the table one by one, Zhishu said in Chinese: "Young lady, take it easy.
"
To be honest, Jiang Wu sounded a little awkward.
She asked the four of them to stand together and said: "From now on, whenever you are in the house, just call me girl. The eldest lady is too old, and..." She thought for a while, then swallowed her words - and in
In TV dramas, servants who call eldest lady all the time are usually unruly and domineering characters. Such characters will die miserably in the end.
The four maids looked at him hesitantly, but they didn't dare to say anything more and responded in unison.
"Father didn't come to see me today?" She picked up a pair of chopsticks and took a bite.
He Xiang whispered in a soft voice: "To tell you what to say, miss, the master went out early today. I heard he went to the palace."
Jiang Wu nodded, not caring much about this matter. She finished her breakfast quickly. She walked around the yard twice, then came back and stared at the four maids, "There is nothing else to do in the house.
What happened?"
The ink painting blessed the body, and an embroidered handkerchief appeared from nowhere and was presented to Jiang Wu: "If the girl is bored, you can embroider female red to relieve her boredom."
Jiang Wu looked at the embroidered handkerchief, then looked at his fingers, and felt that a scalpel was more suitable for him.
"Gone?"
At this time, Yi Lan also held out a copy of "The Women's Commandments" and said, "Girls can also read the Women's Commandments in full."
Oh, no need.
Finally, after walking around for a while, he went back to lying on the bed. Jiang Wu stared at the top of the bed and suddenly asked, "How long have you been here in this house?"
"We are both born in the same family, and we have been in the family since we were born." Mo Hua replied again.
He is a sixteen-year-old son who has met Grandma Jia before. Maybe he can know something. Thinking of this, Jiang Wu got up from the bed again, "Then how much do you know about Grandma Jia? Have you ever been in contact with her?
?”
The four maids looked at each other, and finally the secretary who spoke the least said timidly: "Girl, I have some familiarity with Grandma Jia."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up: "Then what do you think of her? Is there anything different about her?"
Zhishu seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he said, "Since the girl has asked, I have to answer, but what I said today is just nonsense."
She said: "Grandma Jia used to take good care of my mother, so I also took care of Grandma Jia. I heard from my mother that Grandma Jia was once the most honorable servant in the house. Madam trusted her very much. Later, because of
As Aunt Fang competed for favor, the scandal in the back house even affected the eldest young master. Later, for some reason, the lady gave birth to you and... died of dystocia, and Granny Jia was also killed by Aunt Fang because of the previous incident.
targeted."
At this point, she felt a little moved: "I heard that even Grandma Jia's legs and eyes were poked and maimed by Aunt Fang's people."
Aunt Fang? I’ve never heard of such a person before.
The expressions of the other three maids didn't look right either, so Jiang Wu said, "Don't worry, I'm here for the first time. I just want to know some things about my mother. You can just forget about what happened today."
Yilan then said: "Young lady probably doesn't know Aunt Fang. She was once a very favored aunt in this house, and she even almost gave birth to a son. But later, for some unknown reason, the master got angry and kicked Aunt Fang out of the house.
The servants are not allowed to mention her. If it weren't for the old people in the house, they wouldn't even know about this person."
Jiang Wu pondered for a moment: "The time when I was kicked out of the house was not long after my mother gave birth? Or was it when I got lost?"
This question was a bit difficult for several maids. After all, they only heard it from their mothers. Only Zhishu hesitated and said: "It seems that it was about half a year after Madam had a difficult delivery. The little ones don't know what happened."
, I only know that before this incident, the master seemed to want to straighten Aunt Fang, but suddenly he kicked her out of the house and told her not to mention this matter again. "
This timing is too coincidental. It is so coincidental that it is difficult for people to believe that Aunt Fang and Yu Yueniang's death have nothing to do with each other. If what Zhishu said is correct, then the order of things is.
Yu Yueniang died in childbirth, and then Aunt Fang's people gained power and sent people to kill the most powerful nanny around Yu Yueniang, Granny Jia. Later, the matter was exposed, Aunt Fang was kicked out of the house, and Granny Jia was
The owner took pity on her and stayed alone in the yard where Yu Yueniang was alive for more than ten years.
Jiang Wu later thought, could this have something to do with her later getting lost?
