When returning to the Su family from the He family, the governess Nanny Hu had already arrived. She was ordered to serve Su Yao. Although she said she was serving, she was actually familiarizing Su Yao with the rules of the palace in advance to prevent Su Yao from making mistakes and breaking taboos.
Generally speaking, the housemaids from the palace are very difficult to get along with. They are often very picky and difficult to approach.
Everyone in Su Yao's room was very nervous, and Mother Shen was also terrified.
But who knew that Madam Hu was unexpectedly good-tempered. She was not a rigid and stubborn person, but very kind. She did not live in the separate courtyard prepared for her by the Su family. Instead, she smiled and said, "Don't bother so much. You don't have to be afraid of me. I am just like you. I serve the master, but I serve the master in the palace."
Aunt Hu's explanation was so thorough that Aunt Shen felt relieved for Su Yao. She was really afraid that someone would come and cause trouble.
I heard that Princess Min's nanny was very difficult to serve before. Although Princess Min's family came from a scholarly family and her rules were impeccable, she still lost several pounds in a month because of the nanny's troubles.
Seeing Madam Hu like this, Madam Shen felt that she was a little closer and said softly, "Then take a look, who do you want to serve you?"
According to the rules, the nanny who came from the palace also had to have a maid to serve her.
Matron Hu glanced at everyone and saw that Yancao, Jinping and Xiuyu were the closest to Su Yao and got along with him most naturally. She knew that these three were Su Yao's eldest maids. She thought about it and picked a younger maid named Jinxiu.
Jinxiu is Xiu Yudai's apprentice, and is a very calm and steady person. When Madam Hu called her name, she came out and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Everyone settled the matter like this, and Madam Hu lived in a room in the east wing. Just as she said, she was not a nosy person.
Originally, Old Lady Su was worried about Su Yao, fearing that these maids were difficult to get along with and would bully others. But when Su Yao took Madam Hu to her yard for a walk and saw Madam Hu's appearance, Old Lady Su was relieved. It was obvious from Madam Hu's appearance that she was a very, very smart person. A smart person doesn't need any explanation, she knows what to do by herself.
Old Madam Su gave a very generous gift and said politely to Madam Hu: "I'll trouble you to worry about me in the future!"
Aunt Hu accepted the gift with a smile.
Old Mrs. Su sighed privately: "Yaoyao is so lucky!"
It’s not that she thinks that Su Yao’s life is good because Madam Hu is a good person.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that for a nanny from the palace to be so easy to talk to, someone must have told her about it behind her back. Who else could it be? Wasn't it already very obvious
Even Old Mrs. Su would be impressed by how attentive Xiao Heng was to Su Yao.
Su Xingyi lowered her eyes and smiled: "This is a good thing. Your Highness is willing to take good care of Yaoyao. Yaoyao is also smart. The two of them will only live better and better."
Having said that, when Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Xingyi like this, she always felt unhappy.
God is so unfair. He only gives good things to one person. Su Xingyi, such a good person, has to encounter so many hardships and have such a difficult journey.
She pursed her lips, and after a while she finally whispered, "Xingyi, you need to think about it for yourself. You... you should also think about yourself. You can't afford to delay any further!"
Men are in their prime at 41, but women are at two extremes at 40.
Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua are almost old enough to get married, and Old Lady Su is really afraid that they will hinder Su Xingyi's future.
She is getting older and older, how many years can she live? But Su Xingyi is still young.
When Wang Yuerong was still alive, they got along very well, and Old Lady Su did not have such a strong sense of crisis. But now, Wang Yuerong had something wrong and went back to her parents' home. Although Su Rong still missed her very much, it was too difficult for them to be together again because of the feud between the two families.
I don’t know if Su Rong will be able to marry a suitable girl in the future. Even if he can, who knows if she can tolerate Su Xingyi, the housekeeper at home
The older she gets, the more Mrs. Su thinks about these issues.
After much thought, she still felt that she should help Su Xingyi find a good home before she left, so that she could close her eyes in peace.
Su Xingyi was very resolute when she talked about this matter. She held the old lady Su's hand and tears fell down: "Grandma, I won't get married! I'm tired of the pain of getting married! What's the good of getting married? I have to work like a cow and a horse for them all day long, I can't be free, and I have to look at people's faces everywhere! What's more, I am still in this situation now? I have two children, they are both boys. Who can I marry with them? If you don't take them, I can't bear it even more. Grandma, don't let me get married, I beg you, if I can't stay at home, I will go to the farm, anyway, you gave me several farms, I have my own farm, I don't need to get married. I have a younger brother who is now in the limelight, and no one dares to bully us orphans and widows... I just want to live a good life with my two children, and I don't want to jump into the sea of suffering again!"
She was really scared. How many women in this world are lucky enough to meet someone like Xiao Heng and Su Rong
Most of the people she saw had three wives and four concubines. They would abandon the old ones when they saw the new ones.
If she were still a little girl, she might still yearn for love, but at this age, she no longer wants to spend so much effort to manage a good marriage, to please someone, and to be a nanny!
She is much happier now.
Old Madam Su was worried, but since Su Xingyi had said so much, she saw that she was determined and very excited, so she couldn't force her too much. She could only shake her head and sigh, "What can I say about you, kid?"
"Please stop criticizing me." Su Xingyi begged for mercy: "If you have the time, you might as well help your brothers and sisters. Old lady, A-Zheng is also your grandson, and it's time for Zong Bin and the others to look for marriage partners. You might as well help them check things out instead of staring at me. I'm really scared, please let me go."
Even such words were spoken! Old Mrs. Su had no choice but to give up.
Su Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the days passed like flowing water, and soon even the marriage of the Seventh Prince and his wife was completed.
The Su family suddenly became busier.
