Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 15
All the little girls in Huilan's room seemed relieved after sending off their aunt.

Whelan smiled, Auntie worked hard for her.With her current three-inch figure, the demonstration is just a joke.

Shaking her head, Huilan asked everyone to go to work on their own, leaving only Mama Wang to talk.

"Aunt, she..." After coming for so long, Ms. Wang can be said to be the closest person to Huilan, and Huilan didn't want her to feel uncomfortable because of her aunt's words.

Before Huilan could finish speaking, Ms. Wang raised her hand to stop her.With a happy face, "The aunt is all about the girl, and the old slaves are only happy for the girl."

Huilan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again, and said solemnly: "Yes, I will remember my aunt's kindness to me. Uncle Li and mother were left to me by my father. They are for me wholeheartedly. You are also my family."

Mama Wang was so excited that she didn't even dare to say anything, Huilan also showed her true feelings rarely, and the nurse and daughter said a lot about themselves.After that, the two became more intimate.

The two were crying and laughing, and it finally came to an end. Qingguo Liuya quickly brought water and tea, and asked them to wash their faces and replenish water.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Ms. Wang said something serious, "The girl has ten people serving her, but she definitely can't take all of them. It's up to the girl to make up her own mind about how many and who to take. Just go and make your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake for the girl."

After speaking, he got up and left in a hurry.

Whelan couldn't laugh or cry, why the people around her didn't like to help her make up their minds.Are you so confident in her, a little girl?
"Mom, why are you walking so fast like a wolf chasing her?" Whelan wrinkled her nose at Qingguo Liuya and complained with a smile.

It was about his mother, Liu Ya was not good at talking, so he just covered his mouth and smiled.

Qingguo replied with a smile: "Mom loves the girl so much, she is in a hurry to make something delicious for the girl!"

Knowing how to talk, Huilan gave Qingguo a thumbs up in her heart, and agreed with a smile, "Well, I'm really hungry, and I was just thinking about something delicious, or my mother loves me!"

The three girls mentioned all laughed.

After lunch, Huilan took a lunch break with peace of mind.

Ms. Wang hurried away with a dozen maidservants, although the things to be brought in the warehouse before were not unboxed and there was no need to toss.

But her clothes, shoes and socks, daily favorite things and gifts for everyone in the house also need to be tidied up.

At all, Whelan didn't have to worry about these things, she fully enjoyed the treatment of a noble lady in the feudal society, and at most she could have everything she wanted.What a shameful and inevitable sinking, Whelan covered her face.

Whelan pretended to be sitting in front of the desk in Dongci Room, holding a small pen in her hand, listening to Qingguo popularize common sense there.

"The rules in the mansion are that girls are divided into yards at the age of eight, and learn to manage their own yards and human relationships. The girls are usually raised by the old lady, and the yards are all next to Fushou. At that time, there were two mothers in charge of each yard. Two foster mothers, two first-class, four second-class, four third-class, eight rough envoys, a total of eighteen maids and four rough envoy wives." It can be seen that Qingguo is good at math, no need to swipe fingers Head, just say everything clearly.

While Whelan marveled at the waste of manpower, she lamented the aristocratic style.

At the age of eight, when she was still in elementary school, she had twenty subordinates and more private money than she could have imagined in her entire life.Sure enough, the so-called aristocratic temperament is all piled up with gold and silver.

Whelan shook her head, took a pen and continued to wait for her to write.Her little family is only five years old, and the conditions for dividing the yard are not enough.

"Before the age of eight, girls lived with their mothers. There was one nanny, four foster mothers, two second-class, four third-class, and four rough envoys, a total of ten maids." Qing Guo hesitated for a while before picking up again. One sentence, "Although according to the rules, girls under the age of eight don't need first-class maids. But the four girls in the mansion, except the youngest four girls, each have a first-class maid from the old lady or the Duke's wife."

Whelan nodded and concentrated on drawing ghost symbols (drawing Arabic numerals with a brush is almost ghost painting symbols in Qing Guo's eyes).

She didn't want to take Mama Wang with her at first, just because she didn't want her husband and wife to be separated.After entering the mansion, it is not possible to go home every day.

Mother Wang firmly disagreed, and Whelan lost to her tears in the end.

After hearing this, the girls in the mansion don't need a nanny to serve them in the yard when they are eight years old.

Mother Wang only needs to be with her for three years to be able to come back to reunite with Uncle Li, and Huilan's guilt has been relieved a lot.

Qingguo has already been waiting, and after staying with her for so long, her aunt will definitely put her in her room as first-class.

Liu Ya will be a second class, and then choose four maids, two third class and two rough envoys.

She brought half of the people from home, and the mansion matched the other half.

Qianglong and the local snake are evenly matched, she should be able to sit on the Diaoyutai, Whelan thought happily.

"Then bring pearls, emeralds, white jade and amber, how does Sister Qingguo feel?" Whelan insisted and listened.

"The girls are all good ones, and these younger sisters are all sensible and prudent." Qing Guo was cautious, and clicked as far as she could.

Whelan nodded. Indeed, these girls are less lively than the other five girls.

Pearl is nine years old, the daughter of Guanshi Zhou and Mama Liu.The other three are all eight years old. Baiyu is the youngest daughter of the only mother in charge in the family, and the other two are ordinary servants.

It's not that Whelan doesn't like lively little girls, it's just that she is dependent on others after all, so it's better to keep a low profile.

For those who used to be social phobias, if they can not attract attention, they don't want to attract attention.

When she started to name the girls, Whelan really thought of gold bars, silver dollars, dollars, pounds...It seems that real money is more attractive to the poor ghosts!
Forget it, let's restrain ourselves!Then pearl emerald white jade soup, amber coral glass cup.More girls are not afraid, more jewels, enough names.

Whelan made up her mind, put down her pen, and crumpled the paper she had just scribbled on, "You should quietly take it to the kitchen and throw it into the stove and burn it. Mother Wang will say that I am messing around when she sees it."

How could Mama Wang say that Huilan just didn't want people to see what she wrote, even if no one could understand it, she didn't want to be seen.

Qingguo agreed with a smile, stuffed the ball of paper into her sleeve and went out.

Whelan stretched her arms on the table and lamented. After all, she was also a graduate of a university, and she was almost illiterate here.Having to start another ten years of study, Whelan wanted to cry.

Although the little girl Whelan received her father's enlightenment for almost a year, you can't expect Whelan to be able to write and read now.More importantly, now I use a brush, write traditional Chinese characters, and read vertical books...

Alas, forget it, just like the nine-year compulsory education cannot be avoided in modern times, so the fate of falling into school cannot be avoided here.

Whelan resigned to her fate and sighed with emotion, it really is a tradition of the Chinese nation to attach importance to learning!
After dinner in the evening, Whelan called all ten maids to announce her decision, and Mama Wang was naturally there.

Seeing that the girls were both happy and frustrated, Whelan immediately comforted her, "Don't be discouraged if you didn't go, you girls are still young, and when I divide the yard at the age of eight, I will definitely add someone. You take good care of the house at home , learning needlework and cooking, I will never forget you. I’m not at home, and you don’t have much work, but you are more leisurely than them. My family lives far away, and the housekeeper sends a car to take you back every month. Meet the family. You are all obedient, talk hard and learn hard."

Of the five girls who failed the selection, the oldest was only ten years old.Those who were fooled by Whelan turned from anger to joy, and obediently agreed.

"Shu Shan, you are the biggest here. If you are mentioned as a second-class girl, you will take them with you. Don't forget to clean and ventilate my room. I may go home for a few days at any time!" Whelan pointed at the oldest girl. Coral entrusted with important tasks.

Shan Shan was overjoyed, deeply aware of the great responsibility, and answered the thief loudly with a serious face, wishing to issue a military order.The other four little girls looked at her in awe.

Whelan encouraged them a few more words, and then sent them back to rest.

Looking at the remaining girls, including Qingguo, they all looked respectful and solemn.

Whelan felt the need to bring the ugly up front. "For the time being, I chose you to go to the Duke's Mansion with me. If you are reluctant to part with your family, just say, don't go and cry with me."

There was no sound in the room, and Whelan nodded, "Since everyone is willing to follow me, I have a few words for you to keep in mind. The Duke of Zhen's Mansion is a family of first-class dignitaries, with unparalleled wealth and strict rules. I hope you will remember your identities, don't get carried away, and don't cause trouble for me. You girls, I am just a host guest, and I have no power to lend to you."

This is too serious, everyone from the mother Wang down knelt down, "I don't dare."

Sneaking out a sigh, Huilan continued with an unfathomable smile (in her opinion), "Get up, don't be timid, and don't ruin the reputation of the Li family. As long as you are loyal and do your job well, I will still be able to protect you if anything happens." He struck a few words.

Huilan changed the subject, "Okay, that's what I said, as long as the century-old family of the Zhen Guogong Mansion follows the rules, then you don't have to worry about anything. Girl, I'm easy, let's live our lives behind closed doors That's enough. When I go there, I will give you another share in addition to the monthly payment from the government. After all, we are all from the Li family, so it's hard work for you to serve me. Just remember this sentence in your heart , If it gets out, I have to say that I am biased."

After slapping and giving a red date, the girls all relaxed.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back and pack up and salute." Whelan waved her hand.

When only Mama Wang was left with green fruits and willow buds in the room, Huilan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Mom, does it look like I'm learning from my aunt?"

Both Qingguo and Liuya covered their mouths and smiled, and Mama Wang smiled gratifiedly, even praising her for growing up.

Huilan proudly acted like a baby in Wang Mama's arms, "I'm most afraid of trouble, and it's better to give a few words in advance than someone who will cause trouble in the future. Mom, don't laugh at me. If I don't do enough, you can tell me quietly. Me, I can change, and then I can become more and more powerful."

Ms. Wang said hello again and again, and coaxed Huilan to wash her face and soak her feet, and finally put her to sleep.

After setting her up and ordering Liu Ya who was on duty at night, Mama Wang went back.
