Chapter 20

Haiyue has been in the mansion for a year, so she naturally has a few companions who get along well with her, including maids from the second and third bedrooms.

Among them, Hongtao, a servant girl belonging to the third bedroom, has the best relationship with her.

They entered the mansion at the same time and went through hardships together, so their friendship is naturally different from others.

It's just that Hongtao was born a little more tactfully and was assigned to the third room, while Haiyue went to the old lady's yard.

"I heard that you have added a second-class maid to your house, or is it the one who is the most popular in the old lady's yard?"

"Yes, what are you asking this for?"

"Of course I'm worried about you. You used to be the top among the second-class maids. Now that she's here, I'm afraid it will affect your status."

"I have no status at all."

"What are you doing with me? Others don't know. How can I not know your intentions? You want to be the handmaiden by the prince's side, but now that she is here, I'm afraid who will be the maidservant by the prince's side in the future.

I just want to tell you one thing quietly, don't spread it to the outside world, the third son's marriage may have to be brought forward, if the third son gets married, the eldest son will definitely come back. "

"Is the news accurate? Isn't the third son's marriage not held until the end of the year?"

"It is said that the woman's grandmother is ill. I am afraid that she will not be able to survive. She is worried about the three-year filial piety period, so she plans to get married in advance. The specific date is still being discussed. It is only a matter of two months. Once the matter is settled, the son will return. It's also settled."

Now that the border is stable, the old lady is hopeful that the son will return soon, and she has sent several letters within a month. This time, the son will stay at home for a long time when he returns to Beijing, so he must have a maid by his side.

The son of the son had a habit of leaving only one maidservant in his yard to serve the paper and grind the paper. Later, when the son left Beijing, the maidservant left the house and married when he reached the age.

"The old lady loves the prince so much, she must choose a trustworthy maid from her own yard to serve the prince. The first maid cannot do without the old lady, and the second-class maid is the one who can get her hands on it. Originally, you hoped the most.

The prince looks like a celestial being, who in the house doesn't want to work in front of the dead son?After serving for a long time, I am not afraid that I will not be able to become the person next to the pillow, and that will be a lifetime of prosperity. "

Haiyue is beautiful, if she becomes the prince's bedside person, she can follow suit.

Haiyue blushed when she heard the words: "Stop talking, be careful not to be heard."

"There are water pavilions and pavilions here. There is no one around, only the gurgling water. Who will hear it but you and me? I know you are cautious in doing things, but I regard you as a true sister. I hope you can succeed. I advise you to guard against her." The point is always right, after all, she has been rewarded by the prince."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

In addition to being good at talking and doing things, Haiyue is also very hardworking, otherwise she would not be able to make it to where she is today.

She had already worked very hard when there was no competitor, but now that there is a competitive one, she strives for excellence in her work.

Serving tea and water for the old lady, serving meals and soup, etc., it is naturally not her turn to be close to the master, but she is meticulous in preparing meals and the like.

What dish the old lady likes to eat and which dish should be served in front of the old lady, she has never made a mistake.

She also takes good care of the flowers and grass in the house, and there has never been a situation where the flowers withered and have not been cleaned up.

If it wasn't for her ignorance of medical skills, she would have rushed to do even Haitang's pharmaceutical business.

Under the circumstances of trying so hard to show her family's hard work, after Sanfang set the date for the marriage of the third son, the mansion began to prepare various matters, and some maids in each room were mobilized to help, Haiyue couldn't sit still.

The work assigned to each room is different. The work assigned to the maids in the old lady’s yard is to cut scrap paper, wedding cakes and sew purses. At that time, the whole house will be covered with the Chinese character “囍”, including the Chinese character “囍” on the red lantern. Also, the workload is not small.

The third-class maids in Fushoutang have to do rough work and don't have the time to do these delicate tasks, and the older maids have no time to take care of the old lady. Only the eight second-class maids are most suitable for this job.

Haiyue was originally the most capable of the second-class maids. In the past, everything was arranged by her, and it is the same now. She distributes the work of cutting the Chinese character "囍" and embroidering purses. Each maid has a fixed number of tasks. .

Every maid was given a job, only Qu Fulan didn't.

Haiyue explained to Haitang in this way: "You want to make medicines for the old lady, seven of us can do these jobs, so you can concentrate on making medicines for the old lady."

But every time Qu Fulan finished dispensing medicine and went to help, Haiyue pushed her out.

"This is not the place for you to come. It's important to make medicine for the old lady."

Qu Fulan was locked out of the door.

After going down several times, people who didn't know saw it, and said that Qu Fulan was lazy because he gave medicine to the old lady.

The matter got to the ears of the third wife somehow, and the third wife was naturally upset. Her son was getting married, and it was their good fortune that the maids in the mansion were able to work for this marriage. It really hit her in the face.

After inquiring, I found out that it was a crabapple in the old lady's yard.

She had an impression of this servant girl. Her daughter wanted to take her back to train her before, but she gave up after an accident. She was an unlucky servant girl.

"Go and pass a message to Yueyuan, just say that she has a servant girl who doesn't know how to behave, and ask her to discipline her well."

At that time, Yueyuan was waiting by the old lady's side, and a maid came in and said that Nanny Fang had come to see her for something.

When the old lady heard it, she naturally asked someone to come in and say, how could there be any reason to whisper under her nose?

Mother Fang originally had this plan, and immediately came in to report without hesitation.

"We also know that she is busy with the old lady's medicinal food, and we don't expect her to help a lot, but at least we have to participate, even if we only embroider a purse, it's considered a wish. No one said anything, and now that she is on the to-do list, but she refuses to contribute, isn't this bad luck?"

When Yueyuan heard this, she subconsciously felt that there must be some reason why Haitang was not such a person, but now that she didn't know the reason, she didn't know how to explain it to her.

The old lady is not a person who believes what others say, so she immediately asked someone to find Haiyue.

Since she is in charge of this work arrangement, it is natural to ask her first if there is anything to do.

As soon as Haiyue came, she quickly explained: "This is a misunderstanding of Haitang. I saw that she was busy dispensing the old lady's medicine so I didn't let her participate."

Mother Fang sneered at the side: "It's important to dispense medicine, but how can anyone dispense medicine all day long? Besides, so many people saw her doing nothing, could it be that everyone wronged her?"

After a pause, Mother Fang looked at Haiyue's hands and continued to add, "You girl must have helped her with all the needlework, right? Look at your hands being tied so badly."

Haiyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly hid her hands behind her back, as if she really didn't want the old lady to see her.

The old lady had already seen it, and the expression on her face was indistinguishable.

"Call Haitang over here."
