Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 174
Chen Yun didn't come back at noon, so he just asked Bai E to send a letter, saying that he would go out with his uncle Chen Yun to collect the bills, and would stay in the countryside for a few days.Manman sneered, and if she had the ability, she would hide away and never come back for the rest of her life.

Whether he is intentional or unintentional, since he doesn't want to come back to see her, it's up to him.

Manman threw Chen Yunzheng's clothes out even before he saluted, and there was no need to tidy it up for him, saying, "Clean it up yourself."

Bai E didn't dare to say anything, he picked out some clothes for Chen Yunzheng by himself, and left in despair.

Manman would get sullen when he was born, so he ate lunch without interest, so he ordered Si Ling to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. He didn't move all afternoon, and sat at the table thinking about what he needed to use.Don't want it in vain, who doesn't want it in vain?Taking advantage of Chen Yunzheng's reputation, she simply squandered it to the end.

It's good that he's not at home, she can let go of her hands and feet and make trouble, and it will also prevent him from meddling at home, making her scrupulous and uncomfortable.

No one bothered, Manman packed up and went to bed early, had a sleepless night and woke up early the next day.Seeing that the sky was gloomy and it seemed that it was going to snow, she asked Si Ling to take a snow coat and put it on, and ordered Si Zhen and Si Yi to take care of the house, and brought Si Ling and Si Long to Chun Yi Nong to greet Mrs. Chen.

At that time, Mrs. Chen woke up, and when she heard that Manman arrived first, she was taken aback. She turned to ask Mama Lian, "What time is it? Are the eldest and third daughter-in-laws here?"

Mother Lian glanced at the hourglass, and said, "Mrs. Hui, it's only [-] o'clock. The third grandma came early today. The first grandma and the third grandma usually pay their respects half an hour longer than this night."

Mrs. Chen lazily hummed, and said, "Since you're here early, tell her to wait."

There is no mother-in-law who does not rub her daughter-in-law.The sixth master is not at home, and the sixth grandma has no one to support her when she is wronged.

Mother Lian understood Mrs. Chen's thoughts, she came out in response, and greeted Manman and said: "Morning sixth grandma, the wife is not up yet, why don't you come back later?"

Qiu Yun Courtyard is not far from Chun Yi Nong, and it is not close. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth, and Manman will not spend all his time on the road, so he said softly: "No need, anyway. It's nothing, I'll just wait in the yard for my wife to get up, I just came back, I don't know about my wife's daily routine, so I acted recklessly, disturbed my wife's rest, and asked my mother to give me more advice."

When he said that, he handed over a heavy purse.

Mother Lian hastily declined: "The servant has been by my wife's side for so many years. To put it bluntly, I can be regarded as watching the sixth master grow up. Now that the sixth master is married to grandma, the young couple is harmonious, and the servant is happy from the bottom of my heart. Now grandma is willing To fulfill my filial piety for the Sixth Master, the servants can only be happy for the wife, so how dare I give advice or not, as long as grandma doesn't think the slaves are wordy, the servants will definitely say what should be said, grandma just don't worry."

Manman smiled and said: "With my mother's words, I feel more relieved. This is just a little thought from my sixth master and me. Don't be too little, mother..."

Mama Lian lowered her head, and her purse weighed heavily on her hand. This was not "a little bit" of her mind.No matter how much face she has in front of his wife, she is still a servant after all. The so-called not looking at the monk's face but looking at the Buddha's face, even if it is aimed at the sixth master, she dare not offend the sixth grandma.

Mother Lian put her purse up with a smile on her face, and said gratifiedly: "Grandma's reward, if this servant doesn't accept it, it will be shameless. Then this servant should be respectful rather than obedient. Let me thank Sixth Master and Sixth Grandma first."

Mother Lian led Manman into the side room, brought a chair over, and put a thick cotton pad on it herself. She asked Manman to sit down, and went to get a rare teacup with flowers and birds painted in gold, and scalded it with hot water. , brewed tea and sent it to Manman, and said with a smile: "This tea cup was used by Liu Ye before, and this tea is also the white bud Qilan that Liu Ye loved to drink in the past. It is produced in Fujian. Because of the orchid fragrance, it is rich Full-bodied, fresh and sweet, that's why it got this name..."

After settling down, Mama Lian said again: "My maidservant has something else to do, so I can't be with grandma anymore, please calm down and don't be impatient. Once my wife gets up, my maidservant will inform my wife that grandma has arrived."

Manman nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mother", and sat quietly waiting.

Si Ling and Si Long stood behind Manman, their eyes lowered, and they didn't say a single unnecessary word.

Mama Lian entered the inner room, Mrs. Chen was cleaning her face, the eldest maid Jian Xi combed her hair, Jian Fu, Jian Shou, and Jian Lu stood aside, holding copper basins, jewelry, or Putting on makeup, or holding clothes, tense and orderly, but rigorous and respectful, without any sound.

When Mrs. Chen saw her coming in, she hummed and asked, "Is it settled?"

Mama Lian replied yes, she personally took a long hairpin with plum blossoms and silver beads, put it on Mrs. Chen's head, and said: "My servant put Sixth Grandma in the ear room."

Mrs. Chen stroked her temple hair, looked at her for a while, and said with satisfaction, "Very good." I don't know if she is satisfied with Mama Lian's behavior, or with her own makeup.

Mother Lian helped her up, helped the girls to dress Mrs. Chen, and took out the purse that Manman rewarded her: "This is what the sixth grandma rewarded the slaves..."

Mrs. Chen glanced at the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile: "She has a heart! You are also an upright person. Since it is a reward, you just accept it. I have never asked about these things, and I have always been very relieved of you."

Mother Lian knew that Mrs. Chen said she was relieved, but if she hadn't presented it, she would be worried about herself when she heard it from others.

She put the purse on the table and said: "The slaves usually have a generous monthly schedule, and the wife treats the slaves leniently, and the rewards are countless. How can the slaves pay attention to this little money?"

Mrs. Chen said lightly: "Okay, I know you are loyal, take it, as for how to do it, you can do it yourself."

Mother Lian responded yes, and put the purse away.

Mrs. Chen finished grooming unhurriedly, and asked someone to serve breakfast. At this moment, the girl outside the door reported back, saying that "the eldest grandma and the third grandma are here." A few come in.

Manman drank a stomachful of tea and waited for more than half an hour in vain.

Li Shi was very surprised: "The sixth sibling is really early."

Chi also covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I think it's because Uncle Six is ​​not at home, and Aunt Six can't sleep alone." The intention was to satirize that she couldn't do without a man.

Manman is more shameless than shameless, and Manman is willing to let go, she sneered in her heart, did not show it on the face, pretended not to understand, just nodded to Li Shi, and said: "I am no more than a sister-in-law, and I have to take charge of family affairs. And I have to take care of the children, so I don’t have anything to do, so I’m just going to be a filial piety to my wife.”

After finishing speaking, she smiled at Chi, but there was no warmth in her eyes: "I'm used to whether the sixth master is at home or not. It's not like the third brother and the third sister-in-law, Feng Xieluan and Feng Xieluan, who are like glue. You will hate the short night and the long sky, right?"

The reunion of Chen Yunfang and Chi's little farewell is a fact, but it is a pity that Chen Yunfang and Chi's love are not as sweet and affectionate as others imagined. I had to endure it, and suffered all night in the solitary quilt and cold pillow.

Manman just said it unintentionally, but it hurt Chi's heart when he heard it, his face turned red and then white, white and then red, and in the end he just laughed at himself and said: "I'm more innocent than my six younger brothers and sisters!" No matter how old I am, I am not as sensible as my sixth sibling, if I know that my sixth sibling has come to fulfill my filial piety, I would rather stay up all night, and I will come and learn from my sixth sibling."

She, Wen's, has only been here for a few days, but she's only pretending, so she really thinks she's being diligent and filial?It took a long time to see people's hearts, and she was too frivolous. In order to show her off, she first stepped on her own daughter-in-law who had passed through the door earlier. Convinced, I am afraid that she is a dewdrop on the blades of grass - not for long.

Let's see how long she can last?
Manman just lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Sister-in-law San was just joking, elders and younger sisters are orderly, respect cannot be dismissed, I dare not claim to be sensible, I still have a lot to learn from sister-in-law and sister-in-law three."

Seeing that the two of them could not speak a few words, Mrs. Li seemed to be fighting each other, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "The third younger sibling also has a big family to take care of, so it's not as good as the sixth younger sibling. If you don't learn anything, you are doing your best to be filial anyway." , not because of how much you have done, but because of sincerity, do you think they are the third sibling?"

Chi said with a chuckle: "Sister-in-law said yes, of course she is." She didn't need to offend sister-in-law, since sister-in-law wanted to get along with her, that's up to her.

Manman also knows the truth of when enough is enough, of course she won't offend everyone for nothing, and let the two of them unite to squeeze her, so she just laughed it off.

The little girl drew up the curtain, and the three sisters-in-law and sister-in-law held their breath quietly and filed in.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chi were used to standing, and served Mrs. Chen dishes at a convenient position, while Manman stood by, euphemistically called "learning by observing and imitating".

Mrs. Chen glanced at Manman, and said to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chi: "You two have worked hard to serve me all day long. Today, Xiaoliu's daughter-in-law is here, so don't stand there. It’s over, let’s sit down and use it together, I’m eating alone, I don’t need so many people to serve me.”

This is to suppress Manman.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Because the six younger siblings have just arrived, there are many things that cannot be taken advantage of. As a sister-in-law, I should take more with me. There is no reason to sit down and eat regardless of my care. It is the third younger sibling who has worked hard recently. I look at Qing It's reduced a lot, let the third sibling sit down and rest."

Mrs. Chi hurriedly said: "I have only been here for a few years? How dare I go past sister-in-law? If it is hard work, no one can compare with sister-in-law's hard work. If you want to rest, it is also sister-in-law's rest."

The two sisters-in-law gave way to each other, and neither of them would sit down. Manman stood beside her with her arms folded and watched without saying a word.

Mrs. Chen scolded with a smile: "I feel sorry for you two sisters, and I didn't put you on the fire to roast you. It's good for you two, you both treat it as hard work, and you even blame each other. Don't be stubborn. You two should be good. Sit down for me." Looking up at Manman with a smile, he said, "You came in late, so you should take over your two sisters-in-law, Wen, do you not object?"

After being called by name, Manman stood up and said, "What Madam said is that the two sisters-in-laws don't have to be humble, just sit quietly and let me serve Madam."
