Passerby's daily life

Chapter 9 The Maid ([-])

Gan sat silently for a while, and soon, the old lady let her daughter-in-law and grandchildren go down, and sat on the couch in a daze, causing pearls, emeralds, and agates to comfort her.

At this time, Hu Po opened the curtain and came out, and said with a smile: "Thank you, old lady, for picking up such a treasure as Su Su, who can read, write, and do arithmetic."

As Amber said, she showed the one-page booklet written by Susu to the old lady, "Look, it's much more beautiful than Dongsong's chicken claw crawling handwriting, so hurry up and send it to Butler Qiao (Grandpa Liuer) tomorrow, His old man will not ask us to stand guard there."

After hearing this, Old Madam Song laughed and said, "Stop embarrassing Dongsong, tell her to sue her grandma, and I will only give you salt in the future."

Dong Song heard this and said: "If the old lady doesn't feel bad, she will tell my grandma not to give sister Hu Po any salt in the future."

Hu Po pretended not to cling to the old lady's side, and coaxed the old lady to say: "But I can't bear it." Then she looked at Susu's copy of the account book, she kept saying that it was well written, and called Susu to come out, seeing her frail and thin body, "Good boy, it's time for your elder sister Hu Po to reward you well." Then he said: "Hu Po, didn't you say to bring a few boxes of trinkets for the little girls to play with? Pick some good ones for your sister and put them in the bag A pack of bird's nest."

Susu stood beside the old lady, her eyes were full of admiration: "I heard people say that bird's nest is a good thing, I don't eat it, the old lady eats too much."

Hearing such childish words, the old lady and the surrounding maids laughed and felt sorry for her.The old lady said: "Silly boy, since you know that bird's nest is a good thing, eat more. We don't lack that kind of food."

Although Susu's words are [-]% cute, but her gratitude to the old lady is very sincere.

Susu has always been a person who treats you well, so I will treat you better. She made up her mind to be the best as a maid, and she will let her master get rid of her membership in the future, so she will act cute with peace of mind. It was a joke that the ancients could accept, and everyone roared with laughter.

The old lady smiled and said: "You are also a narrow girl."

Just in time for Nanny Qin to come in, seeing the old lady smiling happily, and listening to Manao's joke just now, she also smiled and said: "Why don't you say that the old lady has sharp eyes."

Nanny Qin, like Grandma Dongsong—— Nanny Xing, who was in charge of the small kitchen in Suian Hall, was a maidservant who had been with the old lady since she was young. Without leaving any children behind, Nanny Qin simply went to the mansion to serve the old lady.Because she has some medical skills, the girls in the mansion always go to her when they are sick, and she doesn't refuse, and her popularity is very good.

The eldest maids and Nanny Qin accompanied the old lady to play horses, the second maids served tea and water from time to time, the younger maids kicked shuttlecocks and danced plaids outside in the cold, and the third maids gossiped in the ear room. How come it's about Susu.

"Hey, Ning Cui, is that little girl really that good? Not only did she compare us to us when she first arrived, but Sister Hu Po even brought her into the inner room, what a face."

Ning Cui was only ten years old, and she felt a little uncomfortable that the old lady and her sisters valued Susu so much, but when she thought that Susu was so sincere in teaching them how to read, she despised her little thought for a while. He said with a sneer: "Susu is able to read and write. It is her ability to be liked by the old lady. No matter how face she has, it is given by the old lady. If you are not convinced, go to the old lady and tell her."

Afraid of making noise in the room, Bisi hurriedly said: "Okay, stop talking, Sister Pearl doesn't allow us to talk nonsense." After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, Sister Pearl usually doesn't like maidservants the most What a gossip.But except for Ning Cuibisi, the rest of the third-class maids are somewhat resistant to Susu.

Susu copied the account book for an hour and was released by Hu Po to play with the little maids. How could Susu play with them?Seeing Ning Cuibisi making a purse, she just sat aside and watched, ignoring other people's scrutiny.

After a while, Sister Amber came out with large mahogany carved boxes, "The old lady said that the New Year is coming soon, so I brought some jewelry for you to play with, and dress up cheerfully." She said and put the jewelry box on the table, " Everyone picks four!"The little maids gathered around the table, chattering, you want this and I want that, Susu didn't move forward, and only took four things at random after everyone had finished choosing.

Amber looked at the secret with cold eyes and nodded, seeing that everything was picked out, there was still half a box of jewelry, and Dongsong behind him took it, and then handed Susu a big purse and an oiled paper bag, "The old lady praises you well." , this is a reward for you." After speaking, he looked at the other little maids and said, "Your errands are well done, and the old lady will naturally reward you."

Hearing this, everyone knew that the big maid was not for nothing, they already knew about the little girls chewing their tongues just now, and it was already giving face by not letting Sister Pearl come out to beat them.The face of the third-class maid who was picking on Ning Cui just now changed again and again, but Hu Po ignored her, and only asked the rough envoy maids and maids outside to come in, and each gave two pieces of jewelry.

The third-class maids really have nothing to do. The relationship between the old lady and her daughter-in-law and grandchildren is cold, and there are few things to pass on. Sister Pearl doesn't allow them to run around at will. Sometimes the second-class maids teach them how to comb their hair when they are free. , Dressing up, making tea, and embroidery skills, like Ning Cui following Holly in the tea room when she is free, and Bisi following Agate who has just been promoted.

The old lady had lunch around twelve o'clock in the room, which was still the morning routine, and Liu'er hadn't come back yet.After dinner, it was the old lady's unshakable nap time. During this time, the little maids could go back to their rooms to rest.

Ning Cui, Bi Si and Su Su went back to the house and put away their rewards. Su Su opened the oil-paper bag, it was a bag of broken swallows, even though the broken ones were official swallows, it was also very good.Susu smiled and said: "Let's eat together, don't say that the old lady rewarded you with good things, I don't miss you." He opened the big purse again, and there were several kinds of jewelry, all of which were good, especially a string of tourmaline beads. It was given to the little maids to wear, and I knew that Sister Hu Po had chosen it specially.

Susu put these things on the table, "Put away the ones you like, and I'll be generous this time." Ning Cuibisi and Ning Cuibisi were both moved and funny, and they didn't shirk, they both chose one they liked, He chose the same for Liu'er.

In the afternoon, Susu didn’t copy the account books, but tidied up the outer warehouse of the warehouse with Dong Song. The work is not heavy but requires carefulness. Also very tired.As for the old lady's private treasury, it was sorted out by Sister Hu Po herself, and even Dong Song could only watch but not get started.
