Chapter 31 Summation
Breakfast starts with a bowl of milk and poria cream.
Shen Ning looks forward to getting up every day.
Jia’s food is so delicious.
There are three kinds of porridge that are rotated every day. Unfortunately, her belly is only so big, and the two Wen women who came to take care of her early are not allowed to eat too much.
The two of them were afraid that she would eat too much and raise the child to be too big, which would make it difficult for her to give birth in the future, and they would not be able to get the maximum reward they were promised.
For the sake of his own life, Shen Ning ate to excess every day.
This milk tuckahoe cream, on the other hand, became a daily must-have after shopkeeper Chen of Huichun Hall agreed.
Oops...
Looking at the plum blossom soup cakes in the bowl becoming less and less, Shen Ning ate slower and slower.
This is a mixed batter that is put into a silver mold to print patterns. What is rare is the plum blossoms blooming in the soup. They are about the same size as real plum blossoms. They are of different colors, not only pleasing to the eye, but also appetizing. Special aroma.
Unfortunately, no matter how good this plum blossom soup cake is, she can only eat half a bowl.
I should have known...
Looking at the third crystal shrimp dumpling that was not for eating, Shen Ning did not dare to say anything. She drank the last mouthful of soup and gargled her mouth as quickly as possible. , get up.
"Madam, the eldest grandma said that someone is coming from Zhuangzi today. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Well~, then go and have a look!"
With more than half of the servants gone, the mansion is now much empty.
This time, there are not only many people who can compete for the palace guard, but also many boys and maids.
Shen Ning walked slowly to the front hall.
After receiving the news, Youshi came out early.
"Mother!"
She went over to say hello early in the morning, but her mother-in-law was still sleeping at that time, "I figured you would come over, but it hasn't started yet."
Now at home, I got up. The last one is my mother-in-law.
The uncle went to inspect the two villagers who came back from the father-in-law for his mother-in-law. Brother Rong and Brother Yun followed the guards to drive piles in the front yard early in the morning. Youshi's life was also more comfortable than ever before.
“Have Brother Rong and Brother Yun chosen someone?”
This time, they will each add two servants.
"Both the uncle and Mr. Jiao said that both the guards and their servants must be trained for a period of time to check their body and character before proceeding."
"...said "It makes sense."
Shen Ning nodded, "Let Jiao Da come over later."
My daughter is about to be born. There are too many restrictions on girls in this world. There will be no danger in the inner house, but there is no guarantee.
Shen Ning tasted the benefits of forceful suppression and hoped that Jiao Da could teach the family some personal female guards.
If you really can’t train them, even if you teach them a few tricks, it would be good. “See if you can teach these girls too.”
When you leave the house in the future, you won’t be bullied by any man. .
“Yes!”
Of course You agreed.
Those six strong women who have gone on several missions with her mother-in-law, she feeds them well and lets them do night patrols.
With Youshi from Zhuangzi Shop, you don’t have to search for anything now.
“Actually, my mother doesn’t say it, but my daughter-in-law also has this intention.”
She also wants a maid who knows a few tricks.
“Pfft?”
Shen Ning smiled, "Since we all thought of going together, if Jiao Da can't teach us later, you can ask Zhen'er to find a way for us."
Jia Zhen often walks outside and must have seen it. A female warrior or something.
“Okay!”
With the mother-in-law’s words, the uncle could not object. Youshi was so funny. When she was about to say something else, the maid hurriedly came in and said, "Madam, Grandma, the old lady of Xifu and Grandma Zhu are here."
What?
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little surprised.
Okay, why did they come here?
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law looked at each other, not caring about choosing a maid, and went to greet her together.
Jia Mu was brought in directly in a soft sedan chair, followed closely by Li Wan.
"I'm just wondering why there are magpies chirping so early this morning."
After blessing the ceremony, Shen Ning smiled and let the old lady into the hall, while exempting Li Wan from the ceremony, "Auntie, I can't do that today. Let's go and ask my niece-in-law to show her respect."
"I'm here to eat you."
Jia Mu agreed with a smile. She looked at her belly first and then at her. Looking at her complexion, I found that her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, and she seemed not to be suffering from pregnancy at all.
When the second daughter-in-law was pregnant with Baoyu, her face was a little swollen, "It seems that the child is well-behaved."
"Yes!"
Shen Ning smiled, " My niece-in-law also feels that this child is here to repay her kindness. Look at the lines around my eyes."
"Well, I look ten years younger."
It seems that the house was not what it was before the accident.
Jia Mu felt a little uncomfortable, but she also knew that if they didn't reconcile, the only one who would suffer would be the one in the family who fell on the bed in anger.
Anyway, the old lady didn't believe that there could be such a coincidence.
Zhou Rui was in charge of the spring and autumn rents in the house, and such big things as the Lai family were not affected. In the end, he sent the entire family to prison.
"What's the matter? Are you going to choose someone today?"
Jia Mu looked at the little maids standing in the yard and was a little surprised.
In recent years, the maids in the two houses have rarely been chosen from Zhuangzi.
The number of servants raised from Zhuangzi from generation to generation is increasing. Their children have grandchildren, and the grandchildren have children. Although many of them were kicked out by Jia Zhen last time, the remaining ones are enough for the government to choose. People.
"It's not just about selecting people," Shen Ning replied with a smile: "You also know that there are many servants in the house."
She did not plan to select people according to the routine.
In Dream of Red Mansions, there are too many arrogant and domineering servants.
Ningguo Mansion finally cleared most of it, and she didn’t want to invite another wave back.
"The people at Zhuangzi are all old servants. Over the years, they have had no way to get in. This time, I will choose from them."
"...You are a kind-hearted person."
Jia Mu patted her hand and said, "Daughter-in-law Zhu'er, go and learn from your sister-in-law how to choose people." She was about to send Youshi and Li Wan out casually, which obviously meant there was something private. talk.
“Go!”
When Youshi looked over, Shen Ning nodded slightly, “Choose a few more.”
“Yes!”
< br>Youshi gave a gift and said, "Old lady, please sit down slowly. My brothers and sisters and I will come as soon as we go."
Li Wan was also busy giving gifts to follow.
"Auntie, do you have something to say to me?"
Shen Ning waved her hand to the maids to stay away.
"..."
Mother Jia's face slowly became sad, "Ning girl, old lady, I still remember what you looked like when you first got married. At that time, Jing'er was just like Zhu Xiaozi today. "I know you are also sad that Jing'er has come to this point, but we still have to look forward." You also know what the Jia family is like today. Your political brother is wasting his time in the Ministry of Industry. Although Brother Zhen and She'er have succeeded to the title, their titles are not as good as the previous ones. Just like Jing'er back then, you can go out as an examiner on your own."
She looked at Shen Ning and said, "For his sake and for the sake of me, an old lady, don't worry too much about his mother. Okay?”
