Xiaowu's computer has been locked in the dark room for the past two days, so the updates are sent to friends to help update. However, Xiaowu still read the messages from friends on his mobile phone, but he couldn't log in to the website on his mobile phone, so he didn't reply. , this is not the first time that Xiao Wu has talked about the issue of the bridal chamber. As the saying goes, it is difficult to agree with others. There are many reminders from Xiao Wu in the two chapters before the bridal chamber chapter. If you don’t like to read it, just skip it and ignore it, okay? ? Xiaowu tries his best to take care of everyone's requirements, but it is impossible to cover everything. As for some people who say that the bridal chamber drama is inconsistent with the writing style of life, in fact, it is a part of life, isn't it? But Xiao Wu’s novels never use h to make selling points, as old readers should know. I hope this explanation and answer can satisfy those who have questions!
During breakfast the next day, Hehua suddenly remembered and asked: "I didn't realize it before, but in the past two days, I suddenly felt that our servants were a little short. Not to mention anything else, I just went to the front to tell you something. It is inconvenient to send a message, Miao'er and Xiaozhen are my close people, they always go out to show their faces, and others are bound to criticize them."
"Don't worry. When Dad left office and returned to his hometown, there were still two families left in the south. I sent someone to deliver the letter on the way. We can go faster by boat. They should arrive in a few days. Just ask them to kowtow to you when they come, and you can decide what errands to send. There is no need to discuss with me." Qi Jintang said while drinking porridge, "The porridge this morning was very refreshing.
Hearing this, Miao'er hurriedly filled another half of the bowl, stirred it slowly with a spoon, smiled and said to Qi Jintang: "This porridge is made by boiling water with young lotus leaves and then boiling it. It's all thanks to grandma's ingenuity." Such a wonderful way to come up with it."
"You two girls are really right. They only talk about praising you all day long. Are you afraid that I don't know whether you are good or not?" Qi Jintang laughed at He Hua after listening to Miao'er's words.
"That's because I'm good at it, so the two of them can boast about it." Hehua also felt that today's porridge was to her liking. In fact, in Chapter 357 of Arranging Servants, she just came up with an idea. As for picking lotus leaves, Boiling water, making porridge, etc. were all done by others, but I felt very proud of myself and accepted all the compliments rudely.
Sure enough, not two days after Qi Jintang said this, Hehua was at home instructing Miao'er and Xiaozhen to prepare mooncake fillings. Zihua suddenly came from the front and said that the two servants who stayed in the south had arrived, and he asked them to bring them to him. Grandma kowtows.
Hehua went back to the house and changed her clothes. After sitting in the main hall, she asked someone to come in. When she saw a dozen people, they rushed in. When they entered the house, they didn't even look at who was sitting on the main seat. They all knelt down and kowtowed: " I’ve met grandma!”
"Everyone, get up!" He Hua glanced at it and saw that although so many people came in together, they were still standing in an orderly manner. Two men in their forties stood at the front, followed by two smartly dressed women. Followed by several young men and women of different ages.
Zihua knew that He Hua didn't even know him, and had already received Qi Jintang's instructions to introduce him to He Hua: "Grandma, the man standing on the east side is called Ma Yong. He is an old man in our family. He has been working with the Qi family for several lifetimes. The one behind him is Ma Yong. The one in his house, you can call her the Ma Yong family, has three children, his son Ma Chao is thirteen this year, and the following two are daughters, the older one is fourteen and the younger one is only six years old."
Every time he talked about someone, that person would quickly give Hehua another salute so that she could recognize him.
"Standing in this house on the west side, the man's name is Hong Min. He is the new servant that the master hired when he was an official in the south. His hometown is in the south and he knows everything about things here. The one behind him is his mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang. . His eldest son Hong Yuan is in his early twenties this year. He is already married and has a son. He was just left by his father to do errands in front of him. When he has time, he will kowtow to his grandma. The young daughter-in-law is his mother-in-law Wen Shi, and she is holding His son has just turned one year old and can’t speak well yet. The eldest daughter is 12 years old, and the next two daughters are twins. They are eight years old this year, so they are not bad at all.”
He Hua memorized everyone's names and appearances, and then said: "I just came here not long ago, and I haven't gotten along with my parents-in-law for too long, so I followed my father to take office, so I don't know very well what the rules of the Qi family are, but Now that I am in office, I am in charge, so you have to follow my rules. Anyone who has ever followed me knows that I am a very easy-going person. As long as I obey the rules and do things, everyone will be fine. However, I am now the magistrate of the county. It is no different than when I was in school. Every move you make is related to my reputation and reputation, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't embarrass me, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
After a few words of instruction, everyone below them responded, and then Ma Yong, Hong Min and Zihua were asked to go to the front to listen to Qi Jintang's instructions, and asked what their wives would do.
Ma Yong's family said: "As far as grandma is concerned, I can do both servant girl and cooking. I just don't know if grandma will like it."
Mrs. Huang is actually a few years older than the Ma Yong family, but she looks like a typical Jiangnan girl. She looks younger. She said in a soft voice: "The slaves in the kitchen can only cook a few southern side dishes." , but female celebrities are more capable."
"Okay, then Ma Yong's family will be in charge of the kitchen from now on. Now Liu's mother is the only one in the kitchen. Now there are too many people and she can't handle it. From now on, you can take care of the keys and the shopping. I will only work with you every month." You check the account." Hehua said and then turned to look at Huang, "You can do some needlework in my courtyard first, and when you have time, teach the girls below to learn needlework too."
The two of them took the matter and retreated to Mao. He Hua looked at Wen again, looking like a northerner, and asked: "Where are you from? What do you do?"
"Returning to grandma, my hometown is in the north. I have been waiting for my wife since I was a child. In the past two years, my wife took the initiative and followed Hong Yuan. I can only do some work like serving people, but I don't have any great skills."
"Then come in first and listen to orders and do things!" Hehua then went to see the children behind him.
Ma Chao was wearing a green cloth coat, but his expression was not timid, and he stood openly.
Hehua looked him up and down and asked, "Have you read?"
Ma Chao was startled when he heard this, as if he didn't expect He Hua to ask this, he bowed and said: "I learned a few words from the steward at home, I'm just blind!"
But Ma Yong's family said with a proud look on his face: "Go back to grandma, this kid Ma Chao doesn't have many other abilities, but he has an excellent memory. He can endorse anything without any trouble. The master liked to praise him very much back then!"
"This is a good skill." Hehua didn't blame Ma Yong's family for interrupting. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said, "It's a good thing that you like reading. I see that you are also very polite. It doesn't look like you can go out and run." Those who are busy socializing will work as a boy outside the second door, usually helping to deliver letters and news. I can also continue reading when I am free."
"Thank you grandma for your thoughtfulness." Ma Chao kowtowed and looked at Lotus secretly. He saw that she was only about the same age as him, with a fair and petite face but no trace of childishness. She was wearing a silver-red flowered placket with big sleeves, and her hair was combed finely. There are two rose hairpins slanting on the temples. The freshness and beauty of the flowers attracted people's attention, but Ma Chao only felt that the book's statement that people are more beautiful than flowers is not deceiving.
Hehua didn't notice that anyone was still looking at her, but she was looking at the remaining little girls. The oldest was only fourteen, and there were three younger ones that were not needed for the time being. When she asked for their names, they all said that they asked grandma to give them to her. name.
In the past few days, I was reading medical books for medicinal recipes, and He Hua said: "The one who is fourteen is called Pinellia ternata, and the one who is twelve is called Angelica dahurica. For the twins, the elder sister is called Zi Su and the younger sister is called Aster. The youngest one... ····The sweet-scented osmanthus has been blooming well these days, just call it Gui’er!”
The people below hurriedly knelt down to thank grandma for the name, and heard He Hua say again: "Panellia and Bai Zhi will come in first, and follow Miao'er and Xiaozhen to learn how to serve. The remaining three are too young, so I won't send any errands for now. Fortunately, you are all sensible. Come in and play when you have nothing to do, and ask Miao'er to teach you how to read.
The two daughters-in-law were happy after hearing this. If they could read, it would be easier for their master to use him in the future, and they would be more promising, so they kowtowed to Hehua sincerely.
He Hua looked at the two families, both with their families, and wondered about the courtyard behind the garden. There was no main house, only two small courtyards on the east and west sides, with two-story buildings facing each other on both sides. When she first looked at it, she felt It was supposed to be the servant's residence, so he said: "There are two courtyards behind the garden, neither of which has a main house. There are three bays in the east and west wings of the east courtyard, with stairs going up and down on both sides. They are still empty now. It just so happens that your two families Son, it’s just right to live across the street.”
After saying that, he ordered Miao'er to lead the two families down to settle down. He took the key to the warehouse, led Xiaozhen to open the box and took out more than a dozen pieces of materials, and pulled them out to make new clothes and tents for them.
In the evening, the two families had almost settled down. Banxia and Bai Zhi were both well-behaved. They went to He Hua and waited for instructions without waiting for anyone to call them.
He Hua originally wanted them to rest for a day before coming back, but she forgot to tell them at that time. Now that everyone was here, she didn't say anything more. She looked around and saw that Pinellia ternata was more than half a head taller than Bai Zhi. She had an ordinary appearance and was pretty good. She is not as good as Miao'er and Xiaozhen. She has a few spots on her face. I don't know if she is born with it or if she got acne later. But looking at her neatly dressed and energetic person, she is not annoying at all.
Bai Zhi is also a Jiangnan beauty like her mother. She is made of ordinary water. She is petite, with a palm-sized face, white porcelain skin, and small but always watery eyes. She likes lotus flowers so much that she calls her When he came to his side, he took his hand and looked at her. Her fingers were as slender as green onions and her nails were sharply trimmed. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family who had never done any work.
"People say that since ancient times, beauties have emerged from the south of the Yangtze River. Now I have seen this one." Hehua held her hand and said without letting go, "Looking at her appearance, stature, and how tender her hands are, I can't bear to give them to you." What a great job!"
Xiao Zhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then grandma will make a lotus seat and let her sit cross-legged on that seat every day, so that grandma will miss her enough."
Bai had never experienced such teasing. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red to his earlobes. He bit his lower lip in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Hehua also laughed for a while before she came to her rescue and said: "I have spoiled this. She makes fun of everyone I meet. Don't pay attention to her. You will naturally get used to it when you get acquainted with her."! ! !
