Chapter 914 The New Maid
The people in Tianci Town are very happy. There are more production in the mountains, especially the flower fields. There are also many wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains. Starting from spring, they have been harvesting for almost all three seasons. It would be a waste if no one buys them.
The acquisition of the Princess Mansion solved a large part of their problems, but compared to the output of several mountains, it was still a drop in the bucket. So Ji Bo made the decision and started to discuss sales for Tianci Town after the New Year. Petals and fruits can be used as snacks or sweet wine. Many restaurants and teahouses in Shangdu City are willing to ask for it. With the signature of Princess Tianci, there is no need to worry about sales.
Bai Heran had no need to worry about the arrangements of the mansion. Ji Bo could place it very well alone. Wu Po was in charge of the big kitchen, which was very reassuring. She only ordered two little girls to be her close servants, and asked Bai Yanyu to choose one close servant. Then, there were a few sweeping and rough yards in the yards where Wangyouyuan and Bai Yanyu lived. Ji Bo had to arrange the distribution of other yards by himself.
The new maid wants to give a new name. This is a rule, which means that you have a new beginning with the new master, and it also means that you have completely cut off from the past and have no thoughts.
Bai He Ran Bai Yanyu and the other two sat in the front hall of Wangyouyuan, looking at the three maids standing in front of them. These three maids looked like they were seventeen or eighteen years old. They were not pretty, but they were better because of their beautiful eyebrows and eyes, fair skin, and they looked clean and refreshing.
Bai Yanyu felt very satisfied. The character of his character depends on the subsequent relationship and slowly. Ji Bo passed the first level. He must not believe or believe the words of the man and his son. I guess when he heard it, he could say that all the origins of the wife can tell the world that the heavens bloomed. But there are always one and a half sentences inside that are true, and it depends on guessing.
Bai Heran looked at the three people for a while, spoke first, and asked, "The housekeeper said that the identity of the wife of the scholarly family who was given to you was a maid from the scholarly family. Because the master's family made a taboo in making an article, the house was searched and you were sold out. I don't believe this very much, so I want to hear your own words, what was your origin before you were sent to the hands of the man?"
The three of them looked at each other, and one of them bent his knees and answered, "I don't think I dare to lie to the butler of the Princess's Mansion, so I'm most of them right. But there's only one thing..." She looked at Bai Heran timidly, then turned her head to look at the girl standing beside her, and sighed softly for a while: "There are only two of the three of me who are maids. The one standing in the middle is the lady from the former house. We are all serving the lady."
As soon as this was said, the man in the middle suddenly felt sore, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe his tears. He also found that he was not pinching a handkerchief in his hand, so he had to give up and put it down again without embarrassment.
Bai Heran looked at her hand. The woman's fingers were slender and her nails were very beautiful, but they were just beautiful. Her nails were trimmed very short, and her hands looked a little rough, and there were even cracked holes on the back of her hands.
Bai Yanyu sighed softly on the side, looking at her hands, and suddenly felt very satisfied. Although she lived a frustrated life in the Bai family, the Bai family had never treated her too badly. Even if she lived a life not as rich as Bai Jinghong in the past, at least she had grown up from a young age to such a big life. Now she is in the rouge workshop, she can use any good rouge powder, and her hands are protected like mutton fat jade.
People are afraid of comparing, and this comparing makes her feel much more balanced. But when she thinks about the days when Bai Heran used to be, she becomes a little unbalanced. However, no matter how imbalanced it is, she always has a little more sympathy for the mistress in front of her.
"Miss Gui, who is used to making clothes and food, may she be used to serving people?" Bai Heran asked.
The lady looked up at Bai Heran and nodded, "I've been used to it for a long time. I... I, a person like me, is specially cared for by the vas. The vas is a slave seller, so I have to train all the people in my hands to be qualified vasses to be able to sell for a good price. So when I get to the vass, I start to do hard work. All the servants should do everything from beginning to end every day, starting before dawn, not resting until dark, and having a meal a day,
Two bowls of water. At first, I was really not used to it, but after working for more than half a year, I gradually got used to it. Perhaps I was not as good as the two of them, but as long as I could be kept by the princess, I would definitely study hard." She said this and knelt down directly, "I have enjoyed rich clothes and food, and have also experienced family raids and exiles. Now I don't want anything, I just want to live well. I beg the princess to take it in, and I beg the princess to give me a place to settle down."
As soon as she knelt, the two beside her also knelt, but as soon as these two knelt, Bai Heran frowned and shook his head slightly.
Bai Yanyu also shook her head, "No, in your heart, she is your master. If she kneels down, you will kneel down as well. Then will you three serve us together, or will this lady serve us, and what about you serving this lady?" She spread her hands and said to Bai Heran, "Second sister, look for someone again, this is really not good."
The three girls were stunned. The lady in the middle was panicked at that time and immediately knelt forward for two steps to kowtow to Bai Heran: "Your Highness Princess, if you really can't take me in, just take me, the two maids! They have followed me since they were young, and they had promised that I would send them to marry, but I didn't expect that such a thing happened at home and would also involve them. I know it would be difficult to encounter such a good job as a princess's mansion, so I asked the princess to leave them. I'll leave. Is this okay?"
The two maids behind him cried when they heard this, "I promised that the three of us would serve the master's family together. The lady would not leave us, please keep us. Please keep us. From now on, we will only listen to you alone, and we will be willing to do all our work."
"Or the princess only keep my lady. We two maids are fine. We can find another job. Please keep our lady. Although she is a little less at serving people, she is well-educated, can write, paint and is also very good at making tea. It's better for the lady to keep her a maid who makes tea. Please, the princess, I'll kowtow to you."
After the maid said this, she kowtowed again. The banging sound made Bai Heran feel thrust in her heart.
The slave consciousness in ancient times was too strong. Many people pursued serving as servants for one day and forever. Even if they changed their boss, many people would think of their original masters. Of course, except that they were particularly bad for her.
She looked at the three people in front of her and sighed softly. She could treat the enemy with infinite sharpness, but she could never see the joys and sorrows of life. Sometimes she would always think that everyone is a tough heart, and that her father Bai Xing could treat his wife and daughter so cruelly. Where did her soft heart come from?
Perhaps it is because everything will turn back, or maybe it is because she has experienced too many past and present lives, and she has experienced too many cold and desolate people. She knows how helpless and lonely people will be in such a predicament. So she can't help, and she can always think that she was in such a situation, and that someone helped her, whether in the past life, in this life, Aheng and the other four, the old lady and the Hong family, had someone silently supported her and helped her get out of the predicament.
So what if she sees others like this, if she is not a very evil person, what if she is a big evil person?
"Forget it." Bai Heran sighed again and asked the lady again, "What else do you know besides calligraphy, painting and cooking tea?"
The lady saw that something happened was turning around, and immediately smiled and said loudly: "I can also take care of flowers and plants, and use petals to make snacks. The craft of serving flowers and plants was learned from my mother, and I have been practicing dim sum by myself for many years. Because my father held books all day long and even accompanied me less, he would only smile at me when he ate the snacks I sent..." She fell into her memories of the past, "I thought at that time that if I gave more snacks and made more snacks my father loved, he would have more time to put down the books and look at me more. So I spent most of my daily life studying the recipes of dim sum. Over the years, my skills were not as good as those of the Royal Kitchen, but I thought they were better than those made in the dim sum shops and restaurants outside."
Bai Heran nodded, "What's your name?"
"My name is Jinshu." After a pause, sadness appeared on his face again, "I won't mention the surname, it's gone, and there will be no more in the future."
Bai Heran didn't ask, but said, "Okay, Jinshu, there is a flower and grass maid in my yard called Shancha. If you stay, follow Shancha to take care of the flowers and plants first. My Wangyouyuan has a kitchen. If you have free time, make a few snacks every day, either for me to eat, or for the third lady and the two young masters who are temporarily living here. As for the others, take your time."
Jinshu was so happy that she started kowtowing again. She quickly stopped her: "Don't kowtow, it's not good to look at her forehead when it's red. Although she is a servant now, she should have the dignity of a servant, so don't kowtow." After that, she asked the other two, "What are your names?"
One of the maids said, "Please give me a name again. The former name means that the past has passed."
"Okay." Bai Heran thought for a while and asked her two more, "What are you good at when you served brocade books at the old master's house? Your old master should be a Shuxiang Sect's brother, and I believe the maid of Shuxiang Sect's brother is also a bit intoxicated."
The two maids nodded, and one of them said, "If you go back to the princess, I will make incense."
Another said: "I am familiar with medical principles."
Bai Heran was a little surprised, "You are still proficient in medical theory? How do you understand medical theory when you serve people all day long?"
The maid said, "I am a slave from the old master's house. I have been with the lady since I was four to ten years old. Later, my wife was in poor health and needed even more manpower. I went to my wife to serve her for five years. During those five years, the doctor came every day, prescribed medicine every day, and often told us what to do on weekdays, giving her more food to her, and teaching us how to boil medicine. I followed her for two years and then started talking, and I read a lot of medical books in private. Later, the doctor said that even if he no longer came so diligently, I could adjust my wife's body. Later, after it was ready, I returned to the lady. I thought that the clouds and moons in my house would be brighter, but I didn't expect..."
