[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

But before going to pay his respects to the two old people, Fu Li first asked the servants of the Dingweihou Mansion, washed and dressed, and went directly to Brother Jin's yard.

According to Brother Jin's previous habits, he was usually still sleeping at this point.Fu Li thought that when he came over, it would take a lot of effort to wake someone up from the bed and open the door for him.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the courtyard, he found the door of Brother Jin's sleeping room was wide open.

Fu Li frowned, countless bad thoughts flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but wonder if the servants of Dingweihou's Mansion watched people order dishes, did not do things carefully, and forgot to close the door for Brother Jin last night.If this is the case, wouldn't Brother Jin get sick if he slept with the door open for one night?So the steps on the feet quickened a lot.

However, when he entered the door, he found that Brother Jin had already got up, sitting on the chair opposite the door, reading a book.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up at Fu Li, bent his eyes: "Mother, why did you get up so early?"

Fu Li smiled, and walked up to snort Jin Ge'er's hair: "I'm the one who asked you this. You should still be sleeping in bed at this time in the past. Why did you wake up so early today?" She glanced Brother Jin couldn't help laughing at the book in his hand, "It doesn't seem like you are still studying so hard in college."

Although Brother Jin is smart and quite talented in reading, but because he is young, it is the time for fun, and every time he can't read for a while, it feels like a nail has grown in his butt, and he can't sit still at all.

Fu Li felt that Brother Jin was young, and his time efficiency was very high when he was studying seriously, and he could gain more knowledge than many people who sat in a room and read books all day, so he didn't force him to study all day long. He reads in the room all day, but let him arrange the reading time by himself, as long as he wants to read, he will read carefully, and if he wants to play, he will play seriously, and he will never blame him for it.

Because of her attitude, Jin Geer is not so diligent in the eyes of outsiders.

Especially in the morning, Brother Jin won't get up until it's time for breakfast

Aunt Tian once said that Brother Jin is completely imitating the example, and it is basically a bad habit learned from Fu Li.

But today, Brother Jin got up so early.

Brother Jin smiled: "I couldn't sleep last night, and I was always worried about my mother. I also thought that I would accompany my mother to meet the relatives and friends of the Wei family this morning. I couldn't get up late. I kept things in my heart, so naturally I Get up early."

Fu Li patted Brother Jin on the back with some distress: "The children's families are my parents."

Brother Jin smiled and rolled his eyes: "Mother has always been thinking about me, as your son, I can't hold you back, can I? Come here this morning and see me getting up so early, are you surprised? ?”

Fu Li laughed: "Yeah, I was almost scared to death, I thought the servant forgot to close the door for you last night."

Brother Jin shook his head and knew Fu Li's worry, so he explained: "My servant respects me very much, and I would never dare to make such a big mistake of forgetting to close the door. The servant took good care of me last night, mother It’s time to give them some rewards.”

Fu Li smiled and patted Brother Jin's head, his eyes were a little sad: "Why do you feel that you grew up overnight?"

If it was usual, Brother Jin would not be so comprehensive.

But she also understands that this is quite necessary, so she simply called Aunt Tian and asked her to give many rewards to the servants in Brother Jin's yard

Because Fu Li likes to do everything by himself, since she came to the capital, because she didn't open a shop, Aunt Tian has been helping her all the time, so she has never bought a maid to serve by her side.The few so-called dowry maids that I brought with me when I got married yesterday were also from the Dingweihou Mansion.

Before Mrs. Tian was sold, she was familiar with doing this kind of thing at the master's house, so she quickly distributed the reward money, and let the servants in Brother Jin's yard treat Brother Jin Thanks to Dade, I am more careful in doing things.

The two chatted for a while, and then heard someone outside the door saying that Wei Yan and Wei Ruolan had arrived.

After a while, the father and son entered Brother Jin's room.

Wei Yan originally came to pick up Fu Li, but Wei Ruolan's yard was next to Brother Jin's, and he happened to come to look for Brother Jin, and the two bumped into each other at the door, so they went into Brother Jin together. yard.

Those who didn't know it thought that Wei Yan went to Wei Ruolan's yard to call for someone, and then came here.

That's what Fu Li thought, so he teased in front of the two of them: "I thought Ming Jing was a careless person, but I didn't expect you to remember to wake up Lang Geer first, and then go to the old man and the old man together." Greetings, old lady."

Regarding this, Wei Yan's expression was a little embarrassed, and Wei Ruolan's eyes rolled into the sky: "Mother, don't misunderstand, father never thought that he would come to my yard first to wake me up. We are in Brother Jin's yard. We happened to meet in front of the door, and then we came together."

Wei Yan raised his hand and patted Wei Ruolan on the back: "It's not big or small, how did you talk to me?"

If it was usual, Wei Ruolan would not dare to talk to Wei Yan like this.But I don't know if Wei Ruolan felt that he had a backer because of Fu Li's side, so facing Wei Yan's "accusation", he acted quite righteously: "Son, what you said is wrong? The son met his father's Are you planning to go to your son's yard to wake me up?"

Wei Yan: "..."

"Pfft!" Brother Jin laughed, "Uncle Wei, since Big Brother Lan is right, don't lose face."

Wei Yan looked at Wei Ruolan, then at Brother Jin, and simply walked to Fu Li: "Lady, didn't you say that you should go to pay your respects to your parents as soon as possible? The time is right now, we should go there."

Well, even changed the subject.

Wei Ruolan rolled her big eyes at Wei Yan's back.

This scene surprised the servants in the room.

The four masters in the house value Fu Li's mother and son very much, so the servants assigned to Brother Jin's room are naturally the servants who were valued before and did things properly. Yan and Wei Ruolan, the father and son's usual way of getting along with each other is naturally clear, have you ever seen Uncle Lan so lively?

And all the changes of Uncle Lan were obviously due to the presence of the new lady.

These people are not stupid, so they naturally know what this means, so they respect Fu Li more and more, and their attitude towards their master Jin Ge'er is naturally more respectful.

If it was said that the original attitude towards Brother Jin was just to stick to one's duty, after that, everyone's thinking became to try their best to please.

Although the former's attitude is not bad, the latter will undoubtedly make Brother Jin's life better.

After chatting for a while, the family of four left the yard with each other and rushed towards the yard where the two old people lived.

When they arrived, the lobby was already full of people, and the two old men were sitting on the table to appease the relatives next to Wei's family.

Looking at the people in the room full of black and white, Fu Li couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Due to the development of the times and the rapid economic development, the Chinese people's habit of living together for thousands of years has been destroyed. Many people have left their hometowns for better living conditions and educational conditions. The scene of hundreds of people living together seems to be glimpsed only in books.

Even if the Fu family is a family of chefs that has been passed down for thousands of years, she is the only one left in Fu Li's generation. Naturally, she has never seen so many relatives with the same surname gathered together.

And when it came to the world of red chambers, the original owner, a person from the capital, was unaccompanied in Bazhou, so it was naturally impossible to see such a scene, and after arriving in the capital, she only stayed at Fu's house for a while, and made quite an unpleasant scene , it is even more impossible to see the rest of the Fu family.

So suddenly seeing so many relatives surnamed Wei gathered together, Fu Li was really surprised.

Brother Jin, like Fu Li, was shocked by the sight in front of him.

However, Brother Jin is an ancient person, so he accepted it well, and quickly returned to his normal expression. By the way, he poked Fu Li to remind her to pay attention to her expression.

Fu Li looked around for a week, and then looked at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan nodded, and the family of four walked up to the two elderly people and saluted them.

Seeing the joyful atmosphere lingering around the four of them, the two old people narrowed their eyes with a smile and said "yes" several times.

After saluting, Wei Ruolan and Brother Jin exchanged glances, and then stood next to the two old people.

The two old men looked at this and then at that, their expressions became more and more amiable and happy.

Seeing this, a group of side branches of the Wei family who were sitting or standing on both sides silently raised the status of Fu Li's mother and son to several levels in their hearts, and looked at them both more earnestly.

The old lady gave Wei Yan an angry look: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to come so early this morning? Why are you disobedient?"

Wei Yan looked sideways at Fu Li, his eyes were full of teasing, he saw that Fu Li was all over his body, and then he turned around and replied: "Mother should know that she always gets up early on weekdays, and it was rare for my mother to open her mouth yesterday. My son is allowed to sleep late, so I am so happy. But the lady was worried that she would make her mother wait because she was late, so she pulled her son up from the bed and dragged him over to say hello. The lady is so polite, the son always You can't drag her and prevent her from coming over to pay respects to your parents, can you?"

He glanced at Brother Jin again, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about your wife, even Brother Jin got up early in the morning to study. The two of them are so hardworking, but they can compare me and Brother Lang. He is very lazy, wishing he could hide in the house and see no one."

It was rare for the old lady to hear Wei Yan say a series of nonsense, so she burst into laughter on the spot.

The old man was a little more reserved, but he also had a smile on his face.

Because of these two passages of Wei Yan, the two old people who already had a good impression of Fu Li liked them more and more. Knowing how to be courteous and having a good impression of them

Although the old lady had already greeted them in advance, saying that she had already told the two newcomers that they did not have to greet them too early this morning, but this matter... the two of them really acted according to their old ways. They came late as the wife said, even if they would not have a bad impression of the mother and son who had just entered the door because of this, it was easy to feel that the two did not pay enough attention to them.

Now that their family came here on time even though the old lady had already said hello in advance, it was obvious that they valued them, didn't they?Naturally, these people feel that they have a better impression of the two of them.

Although the old lady also greeted them yesterday, they came so early this morning, but they wanted to please the masters of Dingweihou Mansion.

but……

Wei Yan glanced at everyone, then lightly moved his gaze away.

Obviously, it was a flattery shot on the horse's leg.

Fu Li saw the dissatisfaction in Wei Yan's eyes, smiled helplessly, raised his hand and pulled off his sleeve, Wei Yan relaxed his expression.

The two old men saw Tu Min's small movements, and they became more and more happy.

Soon, the maid served two cups of tea on a tray.

Fu Li raised his hand to hold a bowl, first offered tea to the old man, the old man was not embarrassed, he took a sip quickly, then took out a big red envelope from the side, and handed it directly to Fu Li.

This is the changed lipstick package.

Fu Li took the red envelope, turned around and placed it on the tray held by the maid, and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Thank you, father."

Then he offered tea to the old lady.

The old lady never made things difficult for Fu Li. Before she knelt down, the old lady took a big sip from the teacup, then turned around and took the red envelope and stuffed it into Fu Li's hand: "I've been looking forward to it for so many years, but I'm finally looking forward to it." A daughter-in-law has come, why don't you change your mind quickly?"

Fu Li laughed helplessly, before he even had time to put the red robe on the tray, he simply called out: "Thank you mother."

Immediately afterwards, Brother Jin also stood up from the old lady.

Each of the two old people took a red envelope and put it in Brother Jin's hand. Brother Jin looked at the two old people and called out sweetly: "Grandfather, grandmother."

Then he turned his head and stood in front of Wei Yan, Wei Yan took out a big red envelope from his arms: "Brother Jin, change your words quickly."

Brother Jin smiled and rolled his eyes: "Hello, Father."

Wei Yan was immediately happy, and raised his hand to touch his head: "Study hard in the future, remember to give your mother a face."

Brother Jin nodded, smiled and retreated to his seat.

As soon as he stepped back, Wei Ruolan quickly stood up again, almost impatiently standing in front of Fu Li.

Fu Li smiled, and quickly took out the red envelope he had prepared a long time ago: "Brother Lan, what should you call me?"

Wei Ruolan turned her head to look at Wei Yan, and said with a big smile, "Mother, remember to support me from now on."

Fu Li smiled helplessly, and was about to speak, but saw a hand stretched out from the side, pushing Wei Ruolan back to where he was standing before.

Then there was the meeting with other members of the Wei family and recognition. After getting engaged, Fu Li asked Wei Yan about their preferences, and the gifts prepared for the younger members of the Wei family today were also very favorites.

Everyone was happy all the time.

The old lady was so amused by this scene that she turned her head to look at the maid beside her: "Hurry up and give me the key to the house. The new wife comes in. I, an old thing, can be regarded as hiding. I will leave it all to you. In the future, if there is any matter in the house, no matter how big or small, report it to the madam. She can manage the business so well. It is not easy to manage a small Dingweihou mansion. In the future, you Be respectful to your wife, if you have committed any crime, you should hand it over to your wife, even if you come here to ask me, I will never intercede for you."

The maid was also obedient, and raised her hand to untie a large bunch of keys from her waist, which jingled, very pleasant to hear.

Now, let alone the servants of the mansion, even these side branches of the Wei family who came to recognize people couldn't help but widen their eyes

How much does the old lady like this new lady? She has only been in the door for a day, and the old lady has actually handed over the housekeeping rights of the house to the new lady.You must know that even the wife before Wei Yan got the right to be the housekeeper of Wei's family after entering the house for many years.

With the right in hand, the eyes of the others looking at Fu Li became even hotter.

Fu Li never thought that the old lady would hand over the housekeeping power to her today. Looking at the bunch of keys, he felt a little at a loss.

Wei Yan nodded to Fu Li quite satisfied: "Since mother gave you the key, you just accept it."

He didn't have a wife before, otherwise the key would have been handed over to the other party

Don't forget, the name of this house is "Dingweihou Mansion".

Soon, Wei Yan personally sent away all the other members of the Wei family, and then the whole family had breakfast together.

After dinner, Wei Yan's family of four bid farewell to the two elderly people and returned to their yard.

Wei Yan suddenly remembered something: "Although my parents are very affectionate, my father also raised several concubines when he was young, and brought me a few younger brothers and sisters. It's just that my mother is quiet and innocent, and my grandmother never took care of me. Those concubines and concubines were handed over to their mothers to raise them. Most of those concubines were family-born slaves. They had no education and no knowledge. Naturally, the children they brought up were not very good. Now several concubine sisters are married, and several concubines are also As early as when I had to seal Weihou, I was sorted out."

"Because my mother doesn't like them very much, I didn't let them come to see them this time. I may let you meet in the future, but don't take it too seriously," Wei Yan smiled, "I don't like them too much."

Fu Li nodded, she understood that it is common for the concubine's son to dislike the concubine's children born to his father and other women.

Wei Yan said again: "However, I still have a sister-in-law. At that time, I wanted to defy the marriage contract and marry the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party would spoil her concubine and destroy his wife, which made her have a stroke. A few years ago She died of illness and is gone. But she left behind a son, my nephew, who was also talented in reading. A few years ago, he passed the Jinshi examination. Little officer."

When he said this, Fu Li quickly remembered who the nephew was.

Isn't it the noble son who was drugged by his father's concubine and sold to Qian Da's father, but was rescued by Qian Da's father?A few days ago, when she first came to the capital to visit Wei's house, didn't the two old people attend the full moon banquet of that nephew?

Fu Li had the impression: "Why didn't he come over today?"

Wei Yan shook his head: "Although he has a close relationship with Marquis Dingwei's Mansion, he is from a foreign surname. It's not easy to come and join in the fun today. I will let him come to the door specially in the future so that you can recognize him."

Fu Li nodded, keeping it in mind.

Soon, Wei Yan went to the martial arts training ground separately set up by the mansion to exercise, while Fu Li talked with Aunt Tian for a while, then asked the servant girl to bring over the account books from the mansion, and she wanted to take a good look at them.

The maid was originally serving by the old lady's side, and she was very efficient in handling things. After listening to the order, she hurriedly bowed and left, and soon brought all the account books that Fu Li wanted.

There are a lot of account books, and a dozen or so servants have to move them two or three times before they are all moved.

Looking at the account books that were arranged in all directions on the ground, almost filling the lobby, Fu Li looked at the maid with some doubts.

The servant girl smiled and said: "My wife never said what year's account books I want, so this servant girl made her own decision and moved all the account books from the house for nearly ten years."

Fu Li raised his eyebrows, turned to look at another maid: "What's your name?"

The servant girl didn't expect Fu Li to speak suddenly, and subconsciously replied: "Mrs. Hui, servant girl Dongchun."

"Didn't you watch when she went to move the account books just now?" Fu Li's eyelids drooped slightly, with a slight smile on his lips, "She asked people to move all the account books from the house for nearly ten years. One person's idea, or a decision after the two of you discussed it?"

Dongchun's heart skipped a beat, and he carefully looked at Fu Li's expression, only to find that her expression was normal, making it difficult to see what was going on in her heart.

She suddenly felt a little flustered, and could only answer truthfully: "Yes, it is Dongchun's own decision."

Fu Li smiled, raised his hand to let her stand aside, and then looked at the maid who made this decision, with a smile on her face that made people feel refreshed: "What's your name?"

The servant girl's heart shrank, and she became even more nervous: "Mrs. Hui, my servant's name is Qiuxia. The servant girl made this decision because..."

Fu Li raised his eyebrows: "Did I ask you this question?"

Qiu Xia was taken aback and shut up quickly.

Fu Li propped his right hand on the table, his eyes fell on Qiu Xia, and he looked her over from head to toe, then chuckled lightly: "She looks pretty, but I don't know if she was engaged? Boy, it's also the age of marriage, why don't I betroth you to one of them, what do you think?"

She spoke slowly and softly, but Qiu Xia looked as if she had been hit with a hammer from behind, her complexion turned pale and her whole body became precarious.

She knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Madam, please be considerate. I have no intention of marrying for the time being."

"It's a coincidence," Fu Li chuckled, "I have no idea of ​​letting you move the account books for ten years."

"Your maidservant knows your mistake!" Qiu Xia didn't dare to speak harshly, and hurriedly kowtowed to admit her mistake.

Fu Li lowered his face: "I, the master, remember to ask you if you have been married before marrying you. Before you are not sure what I think, why don't you remember to ask me, what do you want to see?" Which year's account book?"

Qiu Xia was sweating profusely, and didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only kowtow and say what she was wrong.

Fu Li waited for a while, and suddenly felt bored.

She turned her head to look at Dongchun: "You bring Qiuxia back to the old lady, and say that since Qiuxia served by the old lady's side before and was very useful, I won't take away people's love. As for the servants Maid, please ask the old lady to dial another one that needs to be used."

According to other people's practice, she has just entered the door, and she should not act rashly before she has a firm foothold.Even if someone offends him, it's best to hold back and wait a few days to find out the situation in the house before it's too late.

But Fu Li is very busy now, he really doesn't have time to entangle with these servants in the family

One of the reasons for her coming to the capital was to open a branch store. She hadn't opened it before, and it was only because of the flood in the Yellow River a few days ago, and the fourth prince's pursuit of the state treasury's arrears caused an uproar. It was really not a good time to open a branch store. .

However, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, most of the floods in the Yellow River have already been resolved by Emperor Yonghe swiftly and vigorously. The other party’s criminal evidence, and then ransacked the other party’s house directly. After a few times, those ministers who owed money to the treasury almost couldn’t wait to raise enough money to pay back the arrears, not daring to have a chance.

The two issues that prevented Fu Li from opening the store have been resolved, and Fu Li naturally does not want to waste any more time, hoping to prepare the new store as soon as possible.

Originally, she was still thinking that the old lady would not let her be a housekeeper when she just got married, so she would have enough time to figure out the situation in the house, and by the way, she could also prepare the new store. Whether the wife will hand over the housekeeping to her, she has enough time.

However, on the first day of marriage, the old lady handed over the housekeeping rights to her, which caught her by surprise.

But if she refuses the old lady's kindness, or temporarily returns the housekeeping rights to the old lady, ask her to help you through this time...

Fu Li was not stupid, so he was naturally unwilling.

So we can only cut through the mess quickly, sort out the situation of Dingweihou Mansion as soon as possible, and then stabilize it.

The only good thing is that Wei Yan, the title of Marquis of Dingwei, only got it in the past ten years. The mansion was newly bestowed by the former emperor, and most of the servants in the mansion were newcomers. Handle it better.

And she returned Qiu Xia to the old lady, also wanting to test the extent to which the old lady let go

If the old lady handed over the housekeeper key to her, just like the old lady Jia in Rongguo Mansion, let her be the housekeeper, but in fact she is the one who holds the real power, and no one else is allowed to disobey her decision...

Fu Li felt that he should wash up and go to sleep, and he should not waste his energy, and come back to stare at the mansion after freeing up time.

It's not like she can't distinguish between priorities, how can a housekeeper compare with her own career?

Dongchun couldn't figure out Fu Li's temperament, and was frightened by her previous actions, so he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly helped Qiuxia up: "Qiuxia, let's go."

Qiu Xia was a little scared at first, but when Fu Li actually returned her to the old lady, her eyes lit up instantly.

Without Dongchun's urging, she quickly got up and ran to the old lady's yard on her own

She has served the old lady for so many years, and the old lady will definitely not punish her severely.

Dongchun was frightened by her actions, and looked at Fu Li worriedly, but saw that her expression was calm, as if she didn't take Qiuxia's transgressive behavior to heart.

She is smart, she immediately realized what was going on, and hurriedly caught up with Qiu Xia worriedly.

After the people left, Fu Li frowned, hoping that the old lady would not just talk about what she said in the morning.

Fortunately, the old lady is a simple person. If she said that the housekeeping power is handed over to her, it is really handed over to her, and there is nothing to be careless about.After hearing that Qiu Xia moved all the account books of the Dingwei Hou Mansion to Fu Li for nearly ten years because of her own initiative, even if all the maids and women who were close to Qiu Xia around her pleaded for her, the old lady simply refused. Neatly cut off her first-class maid's monthly schedule, and sent her directly to do the work of the embroiderer.

Don't think that female red is the basic skill of women in this world, and think that the work of embroidering mother is very easy. In fact, in the eyes of servants, this job is a rather unwelcome chore.

Because every master has maids who are good at embroidery, and their clothes are basically taken care of by the maids in their own rooms, and they will not easily hand over to the embroiderers raised in the house to do the work.

If you can't share the master's worries, you will naturally have no money. How can you like a dead salary of only a few dollars a month?

What's more, the mansion didn't raise these embroidered girls for nothing.

Although it is impossible to share the master's worries, the clothes of the people in the house are all made by the embroiderers in the house.

When the Rongguo Mansion was at its peak, the mansion had hundreds or even thousands of servants. Even if the Dingweihou Mansion was not more extravagant than the Rongguo Mansion, it was not as ostentatious as they were. There were still two or three hundred servants.As for the embroiderers in the mansion, even with the autumn and summer that were sent to them, they are only in their early twenties. There are two or three hundred servants, and they have to release at least two sets of clothes every season, at least eight pieces a year. It's all the work of the embroiderer.

As soon as the old lady talked about the arrangements for Qiuxia, the others gasped and looked at Qiuxia with sympathy.

Qiuxia wished she could faint immediately.

However, she has served the old lady for many years, and she knows the old lady's temperament best.The old lady is indeed soft-hearted, and often cancels the original punishment because of other people's pleas, but if she has already spoken about the punishment, there is no room for change. Even if she faints immediately, it is impossible for the old lady to change her treatment. penalty.

After talking about the punishment for Qiu Xia, the old lady went back to the house without staying for a moment.

From a second-class maid who is quite embarrassing by the old lady's side, to the embroiderer in the house, the change of status is so different that it almost didn't drive Qiu Xia crazy.

Dongchun and Qiuxia were originally maids serving the old lady. Although they were given the status of second-class maids, everyone in the old lady's room knew that when the first few maids were old enough to get married, they would immediately leave. Can be promoted to be a big maid.Although after the new wife entered the door, the old lady gave up her previous thoughts and assigned her and Qiuxia to the new wife's room, but since the new wife got the housekeeping right on the first day she entered the door, the old lady assigned them to the wife's room. In the room, it is definitely for their own good.

That's why Dongchun couldn't understand why he had to move nearly ten years of account books into his wife's room before Qiuxia.

She persuaded her for a long time, but Qiu Xia was obsessed with ghosts and insisted on being stubborn.

She lowered her head and looked at Qiu Xia who was kneeling on the ground. It seemed that she hadn't recovered from Qiu Xia. She was a little sad, but more puzzled: "Qiu Xia, why did you do that?"

Madam just came in, and she didn't know what kind of temperament she was, so she recklessly made things difficult for Madam. Dongchun really couldn't figure out the reason for her doing so.

Qiu Xia's eyes were blank, and when she heard Dong Chun's question, she smiled sadly: "I just want to test Madam."

It's best to give her a blow and let her know that she is not easy to mess with.

Who knew that she overestimated herself, and there was no room for struggle, so she ended up like this.

Dongchun frowned: "You are a maid, just do your duty, what are you going to do to test the madam? Even if the madam is weak and deceitful, or stupid, what good is it worth your haste to go? Probing?"

Madam's temperament, after getting along for a long time, she will naturally know.

Looking at Dongchun, Qiuxia gritted her teeth: "Of course you don't understand!"

Dongchun: "???"

She hated Dongchun's honest and dutiful character, and hated how Dongchun looked at her every time she acted out of line, as if she was an unreasonable person.

Qiu Xia smiled: "Why do you think I am so anxious to know my wife's temperament? Of course it is because I have a reason to know."

Dongchun didn't react at first, but when she looked at Shang Qiuxia's ambitious eyes, she instantly understood Qiuxia's plan.

She frowned: "You are simply whimsical! If the master wants to adopt a woman, is there still a lack of beauties in the house? Your appearance is not impressive in the house, how can the master like you!"

After speaking, Dongchun got up and left the old lady's yard.

Qiu Xia also stood up quickly, and she glanced at the courtyard of Wei Yan and Fu Li's crew, her eyes were hot.

After Fu Li got the news, he was much happier when he found out that his husband was coveted by others.

Even the maid who called the old lady became friendly: "What's your name?"

The servant girl took a look at Dongchun and said with a hearty smile: "Mrs. Hui, the servant girl is called Dongxia, and she served in the old lady's room before. Unlike Dongchun, the servant girl usually does some work of serving tea and water, and occasionally I went to the small kitchen to make one or two snacks for the old lady. The old lady likes sweets and her teeth are not very good, so the snacks she makes are all sweet and soft. But if you encounter heavy work, you can also give In winter and spring, a few helpers do some needlework and rough sewing work."

Fu Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately had a good impression of this girl named Dongxia: "It sounds like you know a lot of crafts."

Dongxia is self-effacing: "I know a lot, but I don't know enough. I can do all kinds of work, but I can't take on heavy responsibilities. The old lady often said, tell me to learn from Dongchun and pick one craft to train everyone. At that time, no matter what situation you fall into, you will not be short of food for your servants. However, your servants are not as stable as Dongchun and cannot sit for a long time, so they can only watch Dongchun develop their own skills. Craftsmanship, but I am still standing still.”

Fu Li laughed immediately: "It's okay, there is a specialization in art, winter and spring embroidery is exquisite, and it should be reused; but you are eloquent, and you have dabbled in many crafts, and you have your own advantages. The old lady loves you the most. I, sending you to my side, I'm afraid I also took a fancy to your ability."

This girl is quite capable, and she not only told her what she was good at, but also said that Dongchun was good at embroidery, and her temper was calmer, which saved her a lot of time to observe the two of them.

The old lady is probably trying to compensate her for sending such a capable person to her.

Fu Li shook his head and didn't think about it any more.

She didn't speak, neither Dong Chun nor they opened their mouths, they just stood quietly in front of Fu Li, like two wooden stakes.

Fu Li came back to his senses, seeing the posture of the two of them, he couldn't help shaking his head: "You can relax a bit in the future, I don't have so many rules here."

Dongchun was still hesitating, Dongxia smiled and agreed: "This servant is a person who likes to walk along the pole, since the wife said so, no matter whether you are polite or not, this servant will take it seriously."

Fu Li laughed: "Can I still lie to you?"

Dongxia shook her head again and again: "My wife promises a lot, and she always spits out a nail when she speaks. How could she be the kind of person who doesn't count. The servant just thought that the account book like a hill in the lobby looked a bit inappropriate, and wanted to ask Ask Madam, do you want to move the account books back to the warehouse?"

Fu Li thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, are you and Dongchun literate?"

Dongxia glanced at Dongchun, and immediately replied: "The old lady is kind, let us servant girls learn a few words."

Fu Li nodded: "Then you two will go and sort out the account books and arrange them neatly according to the year. I will rest for a while and start checking the accounts after lunch."

Dongxia opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after seeing Fu Li's firm eyes.

Dongchun was a little ignorant, and didn't want all the limelight to be taken away by Dongxia, so he persuaded: "There is no rush to check the accounts. Why don't you take a day off, and wait until Dongxia and I have sorted things out tomorrow, and then slowly check the accounts?"

Fu Li smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't take much trouble to check the accounts, and it will come out in a day or two, so there is no need to delay."

Dongchun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dongxia's hand: "Dongchun, my wife is going to rest soon, we should hurry to sort out the account books, it is best to ask a few more literate maids to help, it is best to wait When my wife woke up, all the account books had already been sorted out, so I didn't live up to my wife's trust in us."
