Chapter 89 Yu Ru's Engagement (1)
A quarter of an hour later, Mother Cao came over. Mother Cao is a very dignified woman, standing there, even Zisu dare not be casual.
Zisu said: "Mom, miss, please come to the study."
Mother Cao was still very respectful to Yuxi, and after saluting Yuxi, she asked, "What are your orders, Miss?" If she didn't have an order, she wouldn't let her go to the study.
Yuxi didn't put down the book in her hand, and said: "Mai Dong has served me for more than six years, and there is hard work without credit. She was also implicated in this incident."
Mother Cao couldn't figure out Yuxi's pulse: "What's the matter, girl, just tell me."
Yuxi said: "How many of the maids who are sold will end well. Mai Dong is also 14 years old this year, you go to Zhuangzi and find her a loyal, diligent and honest offspring and marry her!" If you don't find someone honest and honest, you will have a hard time in the future.
Cao's mother had a good idea: "Young lady's kind heart is a blessing for this maid." Marry a reliable person, and Mai Dong will be able to rely on her for the rest of her life. It is more than a hundred times stronger than the situation of not knowing where to sell it.
There was no smile on Yuxi's face, and she couldn't smile either, she just said lightly: "I'll trouble Mother Cao with this matter."
Mother Cao dared to neglect Yuxi's order: "Don't worry, girl, I will handle this matter properly."
At this moment, Zisu came over and said, "Girl, Mai Dong's things are packed. Mai Dong said she wants to kowtow to the girl."
Yuxi waved her hand and said, "There's no need to kowtow, let her do it for herself in the future." She did everything she could. Whether the days are good or bad in the future, it will be Mai Dong's fate.
Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Mother Cao said tactfully: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely find a loyal, honest and diligent offspring for Mai Dong." Look for it in the homes of slaves or tenants. There's a lot to choose from.
Mai Dong didn't have many things, and she took home the rewards and monthly salary from Yuxi. Apart from the clothes she packed, there were only a few jewelry that supported the facade. Zisu and Kufu gave her some money from their own house, and asked her to manage Madam Cao and sell it to better places.
Mother Cao looked at Mai Dong carrying several large packages, and said with a blank expression, "Come with me!" She was kind and allowed her to take things out. If it was another master, it would not be an exaggeration to peel her skin.
When Mai Dong left, there was a vacant place for a maid. Of the four maids, Zijin was absent because of her quota, but with the matter of the night of the palace change, no one would gossip anymore. But when Mai Dong left, Yu Xi had two maids beside her, so she was too busy. Therefore, it is imperative to add a big maid.
Zisu and Yuxi have a close relationship, so she can ask directly when she has something on her mind, and won't make indirect inquiries: "Is there someone in your heart?"
Yuxi said: "Who do you think is better?"
After hesitating for a while, Zisu said, "Cai Die is not bad, she acts safely and quickly."
Yuxi chuckled: "You can see that you asked this on purpose, right?" As long as Zisu has the heart, he can guess that Maidong's matter has something to do with Caidie if he connects the whole thing together.
Zi Su's face froze, she suspected that the girl had mind reading skills, that's why she knew everything without saying anything.
Yuxi didn't even look at Zisu's face, but said, "Auntie gave me the ice plum beside her, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zisu was taken aback: "Bingmei?"
Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Well, it's Bingmei." Bingmei is Han Xing's youngest daughter, and her mother is the steward of the sewing room. She used to be the second-class maid beside Qiu Shi, but after seeing what happened to Mai Dong, Qiu Shi no longer worried about the maid beside her.
Give her the Bingmei.
Zisu felt a sense of crisis. If a maid with such an identity came over, it would threaten her status.
Then, Yuxi said something that made Zisu terrified: "Zisu, you are seventeen years old this year, what do you want from the other half?" Stay until you are about twenty to get married. When Yuxi said this, she also hoped that Zisu would find someone she wanted.
Zisu said with a pale face, "Girl, do you dislike me?"
Seeing Zisu's reaction, Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "I don't hate anything, you can come back to work after you get married. You are seventeen this year, and now you have chosen it. It will not be too late to get married in two years. of.
Zisu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Girl, I won't marry, and I won't go anywhere, and I'll just serve you all the time." She didn't believe that after getting married, she would be able to return to her side. After Mo Ju, Mo Tao and others got married, they couldn't come back. What's more, the girl also said that she would marry her to a good man's house, and it was even more impossible for her to come back.
Yuxi smiled lightly: "There is an old saying that is good, if the big girl keeps it, she will keep her hatred." Seeing that Zisu wanted to refute, Yuxi waved her hand and said: "It's not like we are going to send you now." You get married, but you decide what kind of person you want. I said that day, I will find you someone from outside, and you don't have to let your children follow you as slaves."
Zi Su's eye circles were red. In fact, she really didn't want to go out, nor did she want to marry. Her father and mother were also affectionate when they first got married, but after hooking up with that bitch, her mother was furious to death. Therefore, men are unreliable things. It's also quiet if you stay by the girl's side and serve her all the time.
Yuru has struggled a lot these two days. She was very depressed in her heart. It would be great if the advantages of the two were combined into one, and she would no longer worry about who to choose. Thinking so hard that Yuru's intestines were knotted, she said to Qingxuan, "Are you going to choose the Xiang family or the Zeng family?"
Qingxuan is a very clear-headed servant girl, and she was a little surprised when she heard Yuru's words: "Girl, this servant girl said something bad. The Xiang family is a scholar, and the fourth son is a descendant. If he can get the honor, Even if he is a scholar, he won't be able to propose marriage to the Duke's mansion?" Qingxuan felt that it was not right for the Xiang family to look at her.
Yuru has always treated Qingxuan like her own sister, so she is not angry at Qingxuan's words of Chaoyue: "Mother told me that the fourth son failed to study, and the Xiang family will donate to him in the future."
Qingxuan nodded and said: "Girl, a person who can't even pass the exam as a scholar, even if he donates an official, what good future will he have?" After a pause, Qingxuan said: "Girl, the Duke doesn't care about things. He is still young, and the second master is a military officer, no matter how you look at it, the fourth son of the Xiang family will not get any benefits from marrying a girl." Marriage actually involves benefits.
Yu Ru thought about it for a while and thought: "But Mrs. Zeng is not easy to get along with." Zeng Kezhou is good, but having a difficult mother-in-law is also terrible. Yuru has heard others say before that her mother-in-law is not good and she will suffer all her life.
Qingxuan said with a smile: "Girl, if Mrs. Zeng is Mrs. Zeng's biological mother, if she is difficult and mean, she must not choose. But Mr. Zeng is a bastard, and Mrs. Zeng is on guard. In the future, if the girl is made things difficult, Mrs. Zeng will not be able to choose." It must be on the girl's side. As long as the husband and wife are of the same mind, there is no need to be afraid of Mrs. Zeng's difficulties." Qingxuan asked Yu Ru to choose Mr. Zeng, except for what she just said, there are two other things she didn't say. Zeng Kezhou's aunt is gone, so there is one less restraint, one less constraint. In addition, Mrs. Zeng is not a famous lady, she only knows the methods, so there is really no need to be afraid.
Yuru was a little moved.
Seeing this, Qingxuan said: "Girl, Mr. Zeng can't go all the way to the capital, and then he will find an errand and let him go. The girl will follow, and when he takes office, the girl will be the master of the house."
Yuru still couldn't make up her mind and said, "Let me think about it again." But after much deliberation, Yuru still couldn't make up her mind.
At this time, Qingxuan had already inquired a lot of news from the main courtyard, and also knew that the Qiu family would ask her daughter's opinions, and it was most likely related to the fourth girl. Seeing his daughter's tangled look, he said, "Girl, why don't you go and talk to Miss Si."
Yuru was a little confused: "Why do you want to talk to the fourth sister about this?"
Qingxuan's reason is simple: "Ms. Jiang Xin's cousin married the daughter of the Xiang family, ǎinǎi. The girl and Ms. Jiang Xin are on good terms. Maybe she has heard about the Xiang family!" Qing Xuan thinks that Zeng Kezhou is good, but she doesn't think that It's wrong for my own girl to hesitate. She only judged from a subjective point of view, and didn't know much about the two.
Yu Ru hesitated a little, feeling a bit embarrassed to ask Yu Xi.
Qingxuan was very anxious: "Girl, this lifelong event is not a trifling matter. If you make a mistake, it is a lifetime thing. Girl, you can ask the fourth girl!" Qingxuan felt that embarrassment is only temporary, but that marriage is a lifetime. of.
Under Qingxuan's repeated persuasion, Yuru finally gritted her teeth and agreed. Qingxuan felt that it was necessary to strike while the iron was hot, otherwise the girl would regret it again: "Let's go now!"
It's rare for Yuxi to embroider purses in the embroidery room, and when she heard Yuru coming, she hurriedly stood up to greet her. Welcoming her to the small living room, she ordered Zisu, "Bring me the newly obtained fruit." Yuxi has been enjoying a lot of food recently. Han Jianming and Han Jianye knew that she liked to eat fruit, so they brought her fruit from time to time. No, Han Jianming brought her bananas at noon.
After the tea, fruits, and pastries were served, Yuxi waved her hand to let the maids go down: "Eldest sister, come here, but what's the matter?"
Yuru was a little embarrassed to say. Usually, it is the younger sister who asks the older sister if she has any questions, but she is so lost here that she really can't open her mouth.
Seeing Yuru's incompetence, Qingxuan could only go into battle by herself: "To tell you the truth, Miss Si, Madam chose two families for Miss..."
Before Qingxuan finished speaking, Yuxi waved her hand and said, "I know, I heard from my aunt that one is the Xiang family and the other is the Zeng family. The eldest sister is hesitant, I don't know which one to choose?"
Yuru shook her head and said, "I haven't decided yet, and I don't know which one to choose."
