Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 206
In the inner house of the Wen family, Miss Wen Liu in the boudoir is standing in front of the building holding flowers and not saying a word.

She looked into the distance, where there was only a wall.Seeing her staring at her for a long time, the girl beside her had no choice but to interrupt her thoughts: "Girl, it's cold, you should come in."

Miss Wen Liu hummed, she was holding the flower in her hand, but she didn't move, she tore the petals again and again, and asked the girl, "Jinxiu, who is the guest to see dad today?"

Jinxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't Madam mention it yesterday, today is the uncle who came to give the betrothal gift."

Miss Wen Liu gave her a sidelong glance, but she was not shy, on the contrary she was a bit sharp, so Jinxiu stopped her mouth in embarrassment.The flowers in Miss Wen Liu's hands were torn to pieces, Jinxiu looked at her, but she didn't feel any distress.

There is a greenhouse in the mansion, and all kinds of precious flowers are blooming all year round. The master and wife dote on Miss Six, let alone such a flower, even if they shovel all the flowers in the entire greenhouse, the master and wife will not will say anything.

Miss Wen Liu saw that the flower in her hand had only one green stem left, she threw it on the ground without mercy, turned around and went back to the house, sat on the couch, embraced the stove, and asked Jinxiu, "It's Mr. Chen Liu himself Came alone?"

While motioning the little girl to sweep the petals off the ground, Jinxiu handed over a cup of hot tea and replied, "How can it be, the uncle of the Chen family accompanied Liu Ye over here."

Miss Wen Liu fell silent, flicked the floating tea leaves, and asked casually, "Where's that brocade girl?"

Jin Xiu hurriedly replied: "It's Madam who said that there are distinguished guests today and the front hall is short of manpower, so the slaves sent her to help."

Miss Wen Liu teased her with a glance, and said with a half-smile, "You're pretty good at making decisions on your own."

Jinxiu shrank her neck and said: "Yes, please punish me, Miss."

Miss Wen Liu snorted and said, "That's all."

In fact, Jinxiu knew in her heart that today, when the sixth master of the Chen family came, it was not easy for the girl to show up, so she specially sent the maid beside her to palm her eyes.It's either her or brocade, but I need to find an excuse that can be said.

But the girl has a low face and can't say it clearly.

It is said that this Mr. Chen Liu is only 14 years old, but he is a young talent. Not only is he handsome and elegant in life, he is also extremely talented. The master has met him a few times and praised him very much, otherwise he would not give up his heart. The sixth girl promised to this poor boy.

If it is because the sixth girl and this sixth master are predestined, otherwise it is thousands of miles away, how can they meet in the capital, and fall in love at first sight, goodbye love.

Legends are legends, but Jinxiu has never seen this real Chen Liuye, but Jin Duan and the girl once had a face-to-face meeting with Chen Liuye, otherwise the good job this time would not have fallen to Jinxiu.

The voice of the little girl at the door came: "Miss, the wife is here."

Then I saw a middle-aged lady coming from the Xiulou Building, dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, with a dignified and steady demeanor, she was the wife of Vice Prime Minister Wen and the biological mother of Miss Wen Liu.

Miss Wen Liu got up and saluted each other: "Mother, why are you here?"

Madam Wen hurried over to help Miss Wen Liu, and said: "Let me see what you are doing, why are you opening the window upside down in this cold weather?" Madam Wen looked at Jinxiu as she spoke, and said with a slightly sullen face : "You girl is too careless..."

Without further ado, Jin Xiu knelt down and said, "Madam taught me that it's all slaves who are careless."

Miss Wen Liu said nonchalantly: "Mother, don't blame her. I asked her to open the window. The charcoal fire in this room is very hot. I'm afraid that there will be smoke accumulated. The window can let in the wind during the meeting."

Madam Wen just smiled and gave up, Jinxiu waited for the maid to go down, Madam Wen glanced at the window and said with a smile: "Just open it for a while, don't keep blowing your head like this, otherwise you will be the one who suffers from the wind and cold."

There were windows on both sides, and she turned to the south-facing one. Mrs. Wen knew exactly what she wanted to see.But girls are shy, so she doesn't say clearly.

Miss Wen Liu was submissive in front of her mother, and responded softly: "Got it, mother."

The mother and daughter sat down side by side, and Madam Wen said: "The big day is approaching, why do I see that you are not happy at all, but thinner instead, why, still resenting your father?"

The daughter's marriage was ordered by her parents, and she was not qualified to participate in the matchmaker's words. But for her, the whole thing was reversed. She chose it herself. Her father didn't want to, but he couldn't persuade her.Although she didn't suffer less, she just suffered.

Miss Wen Liu smiled lightly, lowered her head and said, "No, I know that my parents are all for my own good."

Mrs. Wen patted Miss Wen Liu's hand, and said: "This marriage has really wronged you, but you are a stubborn child, let your mother say what, after all, you chose it yourself, alas... but you Father also said that this Mr. Chen Liu is so talented that he will not be someone in the pool in the future. Moreover, the Chen family can be regarded as a rich family in the local area, and they are about the same age as you. If you follow him, you will not have a hard time Yes. Even if he becomes a Jinshi two years later, won’t he still have to rely on your father to take care of his future? I won’t treat you badly, so my mother can rest assured... But, son, this is your whole life after all. Big things, you have to think twice before acting..."

Miss Wen Liu chuckled and sat down next to Madam Wen, put her head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, I figured it out a long time ago. Haven't I seen too many children from famous families all over the capital? But so what? The first few older sisters are well-matched, but I see that they may not live very comfortably."

When mentioning the first few daughters, Mrs. Wen opened her mouth and was speechless.

Miss Wen family is lucky, married to the current prince, but after all, she is only a side concubine, and to be favored by the prince, she intrigues and intrigues every day, and only she knows how tiring she is.Even if she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, she could only be hugged under the crown princess's knees, and she could only be called a mother when they met.

This is also due to the virtuous name of the crown princess, otherwise the royal family would die overnight, without even having to find an excuse.Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that the Miss Wen family lives on the cusp of the waves.

The second miss of the Wen family married General Zhenyuan, but the husband and wife have been separated for many years, and the relationship between husband and wife is almost worn out. No matter how reluctant, she still put two aunts by General Zhenyuan's side.

How can a man be outside without a woman to take care of him?
Miss Wen Er would like to accompany her husband to the border, but she is the mistress of the family, and she wants to stay in the capital to take care of her...

The third miss of the Wen family absorbed the lessons of her two elder sisters and did not find her among the children of the official family. She married a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, but her husband was away all year round doing business. One or two Yangzhou skinny horses came back, and the concubine and concubine daughter continued...

Mrs. Wen knew that she couldn't persuade the youngest daughter, and knew that she had always had her own ideas, and besides, she couldn't allow her to go back on her word when things had come to this point, so she could only say: "Forget it, since you said that, what else can mother say? I just hope that his heart is the same as yours... I heard that this Chen Liuye has a woman beside him?"

Miss Wen Liu said with a proud smile: "Mother, where did you hear the gossip? How about his wealth, did the Chen family uncle tell you and dad?"

Mrs. Wen gave her a white look.The uncle of the Chen family said all the official clichés, saying that the woman was just a house girl who grew up with Chen Liuye and was released to marry someone. The reason why she was taken in by her side was because she lost her mind, but now it has been resolved.

But can you believe all this?
Seeing Mrs. Wen's unresolved melancholy, Miss Wen Liu said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, no matter how many women he has around him, I will tell him to calm down obediently."

Seeing her daughter's confident appearance, Mrs. Wen knew that it would be useless to say more, so she said: "Forget it, life is yours to live, you can do whatever you want, but mother can tell you, this The life of a husband and wife is based on feelings, not family background. Since you are married, you must take your husband as the main priority, and you must remember to be gentle, virtuous, virtuous and submissive. Mother knows that you have a strong personality, and you will never be inferior to others for the rest of your life. But that's your husband, your god, the one you'll rely on for the rest of your life, don't even try to bully him..."

As a mother, she was worried about her daughter even if she said a thousand words and ten thousand words. Although Miss Wen Liu didn't agree with her mother's point of view, she still nodded in agreement.

After the mother and daughter chattered for a long time, Jindu came back quietly. She poked her head slightly at the door of the building, and was spotted by the sharp-eyed Miss Wen Liu.

Miss Wen Liu still lowered her eyes, listening to her mother's teachings with respect and sincerity.

Mrs. Wen's mouth was dry, and Miss Wen Liu picked up the tea bowl and said, "Mother, drink water to moisten your throat, and your daughter is not set to marry tomorrow, so you don't have to finish talking all at once. Let’s not rush, take your time, the days are still long.”

Mrs. Wen burst out laughing, took a sip from the tea bowl, and then said: "Okay, I know you will be annoyed if you talk too much, you should think about it yourself, I have something else to do."

Mrs. Wen got up to leave, Miss Wen Liu accompanied her with a smile and said, "Even if mother comes every day, my daughter won't be bothered. I know mother is doing it for my own good."

"You have such a mouth." Mrs. Wen sighed, and said: "I know it's unnecessary to worry, but I can't help but worry about you. It's really this marriage, which is too unsatisfactory. If you look at the capital, which family is better than this?" Stronger than Mr. Chen Liu? Why are you so invisible to anyone?"

Madam Wen shook her head.

Miss Wen Liu said solemnly: "As the saying goes, monks from outside can recite scriptures."

"You're not serious, are you?" Mrs. Wen couldn't laugh or cry: "Choosing a husband is a matter of a lifetime, how can you allow me to play tricks on you? Come on, come on, I won't talk to you here anymore."

After Mrs. Wen went downstairs, Jin Duan stepped forward to serve her. After whispering for a while, she finally said: "The servant girl told Chen Liuye that the girl wants to see him, and he said that three days later, he will wait for the girl at Puxin Tea House."
