After hearing this, Cattail and Qingdai doubted their ears.
It's nothing else, but they have been serving the girl for a while. The girl has always been gentle and rarely asks for anything. It's not the first time something like today happened. The girl never said anything before. Why is this? It would be a big change of attitude.
"I am the person brought by the master, so I naturally represent the face of the master. If they bully me, they are bullying the master. Master Pei is the son-in-law of this mansion." Pan Errou seemed to see the hesitation of the two little girls. explained aloud.
She was originally a girl who grew up in a water village, so she spoke naturally with the softness of a Jiangnan girl. Cattail and Qingdai, one is from Henan, the other was sold to Yangzhou from Fadashui, Jiangxi. Every time they see the girl speak so softly, they are always extremely envious.
Not to mention the girl's snow-like skin, like mutton fat and white jade, fragrant with tentacles, in the eyes of Qingdai and Cattail, two ignorant little girls, they are fairies.
Such a fairy-like character, even if he was sent to be a concubine, he must be extremely wealthy. In addition, Pan'er has a good temper and never beats or scolds his servants, so it is obvious that he has only served Pan'er for a short time, but Cattail and Qingdai both want to stay by the girl's side all the time.
Thinking whether the girl is testing her loyalty, and thinking that no master would put a servant who can't handle things around, Cattail gritted her teeth and stomped her foot: "Your servant will go now, and the master must make decisions for the girl."
Pan'er smiled, and her clear eyes instantly shimmered. She used to be beautiful, but there are many people who are more beautiful than her, but now she suddenly has the posture of a celestial being, and she is breathtaking.
Cattail and Qingdai are very excited, and they are sure that the future of the girl is not small.
The cattails went down.
Pan'er smiled faintly, went to sit on the kang again without saying anything.
She knew in her heart that Cattail must have misunderstood, but no matter if she misunderstood, she had already thought about exploring Pei Yongchang. She is too passive now, but as a helpless and weak woman, she is undoubtedly like a rootless duckweed in such a complicated environment. If she wants to do something, she must take advantage of it.
And the only person she can think of to take advantage of is Pei Yongchang.
On the other end, Cattail went to find Pei Yongchang.
It's a pity that I didn't see anyone, Pei Yongchang could see him wherever she wanted, but when he turned around, Pei Yongchang knew from his followers that Cattail came to look for him.
Originally, Pei Yongchang didn't plan to come this trip, but he has always been a well-rounded character. This trip to the capital seems to be for the second wife, but in fact it is also good for him. All businessmen believe in good luck and can do whatever they want. Forging a good relationship, he does not reject it.
He deliberately waited for a while before going to Pan'er's residence.
Cattail knew that the girl was a thin-skinned girl, and some servants had to come forward for some things, so she stopped outside the door and said "talkatively" about the fact that the servants of the Chen family looked down on the girl and repeatedly made things difficult for the girl.
Pei Yongchang went into the house without saying anything after listening.
Seeing Pei Yongchang coming, Pan'er hurriedly got off the kang and gave him a blessing: "I have seen the master."
Seeing her drooping head, slender waist, graceful yet supple posture, Pei Yongchang felt a little regretful when his eyes fell on the lotus feet under the pleated skirt.
Paner is a natural foot.
The so-called natural feet are women who have never bound their feet.
The Great Zhou was a world fought on horseback. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, women’s foot binding was clearly prohibited. Unfortunately, many foolish people followed the law, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where foot binding was even more common.
It even reached a morbid state, so besides a slender body and a fine waist, a thin horse also needs a pair of three-inch golden lotus.
Whether the golden lotus is beautiful or not is also related to the worth of the skinny horse.
Thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft and straight are the top grades. But because Pan'er became a monk halfway, she never had her feet bound when she was young, and she was already old when she was delivered to her 'home'. where.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yongchang bought it by accident.
Seeing that Pei Yongchang's eyes fell on his embroidered shoes, and his hair stood on end, a sense of diaphragm came to his heart.
Of course she understood why Pei Yongchang looked at her feet. Maybe she was ignorant at this time in the previous life, but she understood very well in the new life—the palace would not want a woman with bound feet.
This is also the reason why Pei Yongchang picked her out of all the thin horses.
"Master, please drink tea."
Pan'er took the teacup from Qingdai's hand, and placed it respectfully on the kang table. After Pei Yongchang sat down, she went to sit opposite him, and also took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Pei Yongchang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and frowned.
Without raising her eyebrows, Pan'er said softly, "It's not good tea, please forgive me, master."
There are too many meanings in these words, Pan'er was originally the person Pei Yongchang brought to the Chen family, and with Cattail's previous complaint, Pan'er's words have the same effect.
If talking about cattails, Pei Yongchang didn't take it to heart at all, but was a little impatient, and what he said on the plate made him feel very shameless.
Even though Pei Yongchang came to Chen's mansion every time, the servants of Chen's family were always very enthusiastic. But in fact, that kind of enthusiasm was superficial, and it was obviously aimed at his money, and those people looked down on him at all in their bones.
Even if he was the richest man in the world, even if the masters of the Chen family did not take less benefits from him, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the Great Zhou Dynasty did not prohibit the children of merchants from becoming officials, but their status was still at the bottom.
Pei Yongchang is not stupid, how could he not see it.
Pan'er also knows the truth of accepting when she sees a deal, she turned her beautiful eyes and said: "In the past few days, there are always strange maids and wives who go to the wrong place. Let’s go, it’s these people who look at their faces, and they do it again and again, so they can’t help asking some people. It turns out that some of those people are from the yard of the eldest lady, and some are from the yard of the third lady and the fourth lady. I don’t know why some people from the madam’s yard came here to inquire about the news, and the slave family didn’t understand the reason, so they told the master.”
Pei Yongchang's eyes fixed on Pan'er's face for a moment.
"Don't worry too much about these things, just take care of yourself. As for the servants treating you poorly, I will take care of it myself."
"Yes." Pan'er said softly, hiding her flickering eyes under her curled eyelashes.
Sure enough, a filial son-in-law like Pei Yongchang also has his own thoughts.
People are not as good as I am, if it hadn't been for other thoughts, why would Pei Yongchang give up the meat he wanted and send it all the way to the capital
It's a pity that she didn't understand all this in the past, and even avoided Pei Yongchang like a snake, wasting this good help, and she would never let it go again.
Thinking of this, Pan'er said again: "The slave family still wants someone else."
She has never spoken much, especially when facing Pei Yongchang, so Pei Yongchang couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"It's a nurturing mother from the foster family." She lowered her head halfway, and a strand of black hair fell from her temples, lining her crystal clear snow skin, which made people feel amazing. "The sisters in the family all It was trained by my mother, and I have a bit of a bad reputation among people who raise skinny horses. It's a pity that I am a monk halfway through, so I haven't learned many things. These things will be of great help to the concubine, and it will also be of great help to the master's important affairs .”
Pei Yongchang couldn't help shivering, this feeling was too unfamiliar to him, so he hurriedly served tea to cover it up.
At the same time, his gaze became meaningful, and he suddenly changed his view of Pan'er.
He thought it was just a thing for Israel to serve people, but through what he said just now, he found that this woman is extremely intelligent, and she seems to have insight into his purpose.
Pei Yongchang squinted his eyes, his eyes lingered back and forth on Pan'er's body, and his eyes flickered.
He had always liked smart people because smart people were usually easy to deal with.
"I'll let someone arrange it. As for you, just take good care of it. The master is still waiting for you to do things for the master."
Speaking of the last sentence, his eyes were quite meaningful, and Pan Er looked at him with bright eyes, but said nothing, just lowered his head shyly.
Seeing this, Pei Yongchang couldn't help being more satisfied, and ordered Qing Dai to take good care of the girl and walked out.
Not long after, Cattail ran in from outside, holding a purse in his hand.
"Girl, girl..."
She put her purse on the kang table, and said a little excitedly: "These are all given by the master. The master said that the girl doesn't have to bend over what she wants to eat, and just give the money to the servants to arrange. Those servants will definitely not refuse."
Cattail's heartbeat almost stopped, she had never seen so much silver in her age, Qingdai was also very pleasantly surprised. Pan'er, on the other hand, flipped through his purse nonchalantly, as if he didn't pay much attention to the money.
There is a lot of silver in the purse, including silver ingots and dimes, about fifty or sixty taels. There are also several bank notes, all with a denomination of one hundred taels.
With Pan'er's previous vision, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to these silver coins, but now these silver coins are just right for use and can do many things.
With silver, Pan'er's life is much easier.
Three meals a day are served in silver, and those servants who run errands are most willing to take on this kind of errand, almost whatever they want to eat on the plate, they can get anything in the kitchen.
Not to mention the refreshments and hot fruits besides the three meals. Usually, if you want hot water, you have to watch over the face of the hot water woman. Needless to say, someone will bring the hot water.
So it is true to say that having money can make ghosts turn the millstone.
Pan'er also asked someone to prepare some snacks, and let Cattail and Qingdai go out to play with the snacks.
She couldn't go out because there were too many people staring at her, but Cattails and Qingdai were just two girls in their teens, they didn't go to conspicuous places, so they went to talk to the rough girl who sweeps the floor and washes vegetables, always I can find out some small news.
Cattail, in particular, is very popular outside, and within a few days, someone came to her door to play with her.
During the period, Pei Yongchang came over and said that the search for the person had already been done by someone. Seeing him walking in a hurry, Pan Er hinted in his words, and I am afraid that he has his own measure.
Pan'er didn't say much, just a point in his words - shoot the head bird, no matter what the ladies mean, it doesn't really affect anything, anyway, a sheep is herding, and a group of sheep is also herding, why offend others .
Pei Yongchang was shocked, and he couldn't help wondering where she got the news, how could she know what he was worried about.
These few days he has been busy with the matter of sending the dish into the East Palace, he thought it would not be too difficult, but who knows that things are far more complicated than imagined, several wives in the mansion have the idea of finding someone to come into the palace to help the Crown Princess , and this matter is only up to the second wife, and the old lady has to pass it.
In this way, the matter would be difficult to handle, but what Pan Er said made his eyes light up, and he had a new idea.
He also thought that before Pan'er could mention some of his wives who sent people to the guest house to find out the news, and guessed his purpose, there must be a source of information. But he knows that Pan'er never stays at home, especially when he is a newcomer and unfamiliar with the place.
From this point of view, this woman is really amazing!
Pei Yongchang admired Pan'er's eyes even more, and then hurried away, probably because he had listened to Pan'er's words in his heart.
As for Pan'er, she didn't care about anything, she only cared about taking care of her health, and usually listened to Cattail talking about trivial matters in the Chen residence, just to pass the time.
And the situation she wanted to see came soon.
The author has something to say: I saw a relative in the comments saying that a thin horse is thin and thin, and the place that needs to be big still needs to be big. In fact, since the Song Dynasty, it has been popular for women to regard thinness as their beauty, and the Ming Dynasty is similar. The beauty with thin shoulders, thinness, and quietness is popular, that is, the so-called temperament. As for a thin horse, apart from being thin, the three-inch golden lotus is related to its worth. I really couldn't stand the three-inch golden lotus, so I changed it, embarrassing.
