4.18 It is better to move over to serve

That night, Zhou's yard.

"Dongfang, did you do something wrong today?" Zhou Yang put his arms around Yingchun, who was already in tears, feeling dumbfounded, "How could I go to someone's house and tell the horses and chariots to criticize their tutor, and even doubt the chastity of their women's family?" Is it? Fortunately, the Rongguo Mansion is in decline, and if you change to someone who is a little bit tougher, I am afraid that they will not die with you!"

"This is also what the princess means!" Dongfang Bing now lost the icy aura in Rongguo Mansion, gently embraced Yingchun and said apologetically, "It's not like you haven't seen what the mansion looks like now, the master is not like the master, A slave is not like a slave, since you have already abused Younger Sister Yingchun, it would be inappropriate for her to be the same as before.

Although what I did today was a bit ruthless, it did not violate the regulations of the imperial court. When the palace was selecting maids and even show maidens, I did more than this. It’s not like I didn’t know what Sister Yingchun was like, so I couldn’t do this again. One step, but it’s not like you don’t understand the Phoenix Egg in the Jia family. If you don’t teach him a lesson, Sister Yingchun won’t get better in the future! "

Zhou Yang helplessly patted his forehead. There was nothing wrong with what he said. He didn't expect that Princess Yongchang would directly give Yingchun a status of praise. Originally, this was a good thing, but if she got along with that Phoenix Egg again, she wouldn't be able to do anything. Just talk nonsense like "sisters will be together forever". With Yingchun's temperament, I'm afraid she will be offended in the Rongguo Mansion!
There is also the salary issue specifically mentioned by Dongfang Bing. The salary from the fifth-grade praise is really quite a lot. Every month, he gets nearly 20 taels of silver, as well as lumi, subsidies, rewards, etc., which add up to 20 taels. I'm sure I can't help it. As a comparison, Yingchun's monthly salary in Rongguofu is only [-] taels, while Jia's mother only gets [-] taels!

If this money fell into Yingchun's hands, referring to the methods of her so-called "minions" in the original work, it would really be better to have no money at all. At least when there is no money, others will not always want to take advantage of her; Just kidding, Jia She and Mrs. Xing may not be able to turn a blind eye to this, and they might do some nonsense like "keep it for you"!

"But if you come like this, how can the second sister go back in the future?" Zhou Yang said angrily, "Don't forget, her surname is Jia after all."

"It's no trouble." Dongfang Bing glared at him, "There is no shortage of people to serve the princess. Sister Yingchun can go if she wants to. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to go. It's best if you want to live there. If you don't want to, let her do it. But here you are. , you might as well arrange a place for her in advance, wait for a year or two, and then let her get started.

At that time, with her status, it would be normal for her to be unable to go back for a whole year, and it would not be an exaggeration to never see her again for the rest of her life. Besides, looking at the state of the mansion, I am afraid that she will not be able to pass on the title to another generation, with two mansions and eight rooms costing hundreds of dollars. Unfortunately, there is no man who can stand up. The only one who works outside is also a man who cannot support him. "

"Second brother Lian?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard of the heir apparent of the Rongguo Mansion for some time and had long forgotten about him. "Why, his Yancheng County Magistrate is not good at what he does?"

"Whether it works or not has nothing to do with him, and he has never done it before." Dongfang Bing curled his lips disdainfully, "Thanks to the three masters he led, the entire yamen's official affairs are all supported by these three. Although it is not The problem of reaching out and opening one's mouth is inevitable, but it has indeed done a good job. At least so far, the Yancheng County Government's performance can be rated as "good".

As for the Second Master Lian, the only place he is familiar with in Yancheng is probably the buildings and flower boats everywhere. He almost never goes out every day if he can. If he lacks money, he goes to three masters for it. Fortunately, this The three of them were found by the Xue family, and there were people watching behind them. If it had been an ordinary master, he would have been tricked to death. "

"Okay, leave him alone." Zhou Yang also despaired of this guy.

Frankly speaking, when he first came to this world, he did get a lot of help from Jia Lian and Jia Zhen. If these two were just ordinary friends, they would actually be okay; the problem is, they have dandy habits. There are too many and too bad. After such a long time of understanding, Zhou Yang has completely given up the idea.

"Forget it for today, I will take sister Yingchun with me tomorrow." Of course Dongfang Bing knew Zhou Yang's dilemma, smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but returned to the topic.

"Why do you bring her? Do you really want her to serve you?" Zhou Yang said angrily, "I don't lack a place to live here. Let her stay in the future. It happens that Qingwen is too lonely alone. , and there are more people to talk to.”

"Where's that Heroine Zhao?" Dongfang Bing said with a straight face.

"Qiying can't stay here for the time being." Zhou Yang wasn't embarrassed at all, but he was obviously depressed, "Really, all of you are just focusing on lighting the fire and ignoring it. There are so many girls around me, but now you are..."

"Zhou Qianhu might as well grab that sister from the Li family." Dongfang Bing scolded him disdainfully, "I don't have so much time to have sex with you; if you have the ability, it's okay to let the princess serve you. The girl Xue who is far away in Jinling, the poor sister Yingchun beside you, the heroine Zhao who returned to her home one day after you were lucky, and the sister Qingwen who thinks about being favored by you all day long."

"I'll favor you first!" Zhou Yang quickly drove away the two-fingered Zen on the soft flesh of his waist. Zhou Yang knocked Dongfang Qianhu aside and rushed towards him. If she was allowed to "count" it again, he would probably have wounds on his waist. A piece of flesh was wrenched off by her!

"Brother Zhou, little sister. Little sister doesn't want to live here." Unfortunately, before he could enter the battle, the little transparent Yingchun beside him said weakly. "Second sister, what's wrong? Isn't it good to live here?" Zhou Yang had no choice but to stop his "offensive", turned around and said softly.

"Since my little sister has received the grace of His Highness the Princess, she should do something in return." Yingchun said softly, "Sister Bing'er said that she is the only female officer in the Princess Mansion right now. With a reputation for praising kindness, it is better to move over and serve him, so that it is easier to talk."

"Not bad!" Dongfang Bing nodded appreciatively, looked at Zhou Yang and said, "You don't have to worry about Sister Yingchun getting there. My yard is empty. It's okay to let her live with me. If not, she can't. There is also a place to live; princess, you don’t have to worry, she is not a young lady raised in a boudoir, what she does on a daily basis is incomparable to [-]% of men, and she has no intention of delaying on these things."

"But why are you dissatisfied with me here?" Zhou Yang held Yingchun in his arms and said softly.

"Little sister would also like to thank Brother Zhou for bringing me out. Although" Yingchun hesitated, curled up and arched her body in Zhou Yang's arms, "in short, little sister is very grateful, but after all, she has no name or status now, look. Brother Zhou means that he won’t let the Xue family’s sister enter before she comes in, right?”

"Second sister, I feel wronged to you," Zhou Yang said awkwardly.

"Brother Zhou, my little sister has decided to follow you in this life, but she doesn't want to do that." Yingchun's already blushing cheeks turned red to the base of her neck. My younger sister follows me now, so she is considered my own family anyway; Brother Zhou, please forgive my younger sister for not being able to follow and serve."

"Forget it, it's up to you!" Zhou Yang smiled wryly, it seems that there will only be a bunch of delicious food for nothing in the future, but he will only be hungry.

"Okay, stop acting like you are dissatisfied with your desires." Dongfang Bing pushed him down on the bed and went directly to the offensive mode, "If it weren't for the fact that none of these sisters can stay by your side, do you think you can do this? Are you so relaxed now? If I hadn’t been carrying the inheritance of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, how could I have sat back and watched a merchant’s daughter riding on my head?”

"Hmph!" Zhou Yang glared at her angrily, and admitted that what she said was right, but he didn't want to show his timidity, and he still didn't forget to hug Yingchun, "Little thing, it seems necessary to let you understand, after all Who is the master!"

At the same time, Rongguo Mansion and Jia Muyuan.

"Is it settled?" Jia Mu said feebly to Wang Xifeng, who was sitting in front of her.

"Ancestor, we have chosen two places and are waiting for you to make your decision." Wang Xifeng seemed to have been busy all day, and her words lost their usual momentum, "One is the VIP guest room courtyard to the east of my courtyard. "

"Let's talk about the next one." Mother Jia shook her head directly, "Although the location and size of this courtyard are suitable and it is not far from the old lady, it has been a place where distinguished guests have been received for a long time. I don't know how many people have lived there before and after. It’s a place where girls can be arranged.”

"Then there's only a smaller place." Wang Xifeng didn't expect to be rejected so simply, so her voice got stuck, "Mrs. There are three small courtyards. Currently, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao live in the two southern ones, but the northernmost one has always been idle.

This courtyard happens to have three main rooms, two wing rooms on the east and west sides, and three small side rooms. There are also small doors to the main courtyard and the corridor on the east wall. It is more than enough to accommodate the three sisters, and it is also convenient for them to listen. My wife taught me: It’s not far from our ancestors’ place, it’s just a few more steps, and it’s cheaper to live on weekdays. "

"Then this is fine." Mother Jia nodded, not forgetting to add a few words, "Now that the second girl has an official status, even if she doesn't come back much, she should arrange for the main wife, the third girl and the fourth girl to be here. The only thing is to have it cleaned out as soon as possible so that they can move in; and, have the girls and women made arrangements?"

"It's been arranged. In addition to the two little girls each, there is also a big girl each." Wang Xifeng said quickly, "It happened to have been prepared for a long time. The chess player, the book waiter and the painter are all born in the same family. In addition, Their original nanny will definitely be able to take good care of the three younger sisters."

"Then let's make a decision." Mother Jia nodded, "Let the three of them go out separately, and it will save Baoyu from thinking about playing all day long. I have already asked Zheng'er to come over in the afternoon, and I will still let him have more fun in the future. Study and make progress."

"This -" Even though he knew that this matter would not last a few days, Wang Xifeng still felt good, "Brother Bao has great fortune, how can he be less wealthy in the future?"

"So be it."
