Chapter 1296 Willing to be an ugly girl 23
No, never! Dressed like that, it would be better to die. There's no need to come out day and night to scare people, since she can't stand such a "beautiful" dress anyway.
Xining paused, looked at Akui who was kneeling in front of her, curled up her lips, and continued eating her lunch.
Although Akui was a little wary of the fifth lady who beat up the unruly slave of the village as soon as she arrived, she still had to say what she should say. After all, she was Mrs. Akiko's maid, so even if she was beaten, she should be loyal.
So he tried to persuade her with good words: "Miss Zunzi and Miss Xizi are the same age, and Miss Xizi is two months younger than Miss Zunzi. If word spreads, Miss Zunzi will be like this..."
I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I changed my way of saying: "On a day like this, it would bring shame to the Taoist priest and Mrs. Akiko."
"Shamed?" A question made Akui dare not raise her head.
Unknowingly, Miss Zunzi, who was only nine years old, actually carried the majesty of a Taoist priest.
Xining was eating lunch and said leisurely: "I remember Akui's husband is the housekeeper of the official residence. His father has been a domestic slave in my father's family for generations, and he was also my father's companion when he was a child."
Aoi lowered her head, crossed her hands in front of her, and said in a choked voice: "Yes, Miss Zunzi."
Xining took a bite of bamboo shoots into his mouth and chewed it slowly: "I didn't mean to bring back unpleasant memories for you, and I'm sorry for that."
Akui finally couldn't help but shed tears, and her tears hit the ground directly: "I don't dare, the young lady has a distinguished status..."
"No, no!" Xining corrected: "I want you to know that someone who has been with my father since childhood, and you are my mother's maid, can still get into trouble. You also believe that your deceased husband is because of The tiles on the roof were blown off by the strong wind and fell on his head and killed him?”
Aoi trembled all over.
Xining took a deep breath and raised his head: "I wasn't born yet, and Akui, you were still young. How old are you? Nineteen or twenty? My daughter is not even one year old yet. It's really pitiful. ”
Although Aoi tried to stay calm, her voice changed completely: "Thanks to Mrs. Akiko's care, my slave and my daughter can live."
The income from this job was not much. Mrs. Akiko saw that Akui was pitiful and needed a sincere slave, so she gave her a little more money so that Akui could send her daughter to a relative's home to be raised and give money to her relatives every month. When she was seven years old, she took her in and became the second brother's concubine.
Xining continued: "My mother and Mrs. Lunzi are the same age, and they married my father at the same time, and they are equal wives. But my eldest sister is five years older than my second brother, and my second brother came out a year after my eldest brother was born. My mother gave birth to my second brother when she was twenty-nine. All her previous children died inexplicably like your late husband.”
Mrs. Renzi also lost her children over and over again. She did not have her first daughter until she was twenty-four years old, and a son four years later. They are the eldest son and eldest daughter of Fujiwara Michinaga respectively.
After Mrs. Akiko gave birth to Fujiwara Michinaga's second son, she gave birth to three boys in the second year and four boys in the third year. I gave birth to three sons in three years at once. Fortunately, these two ladies were in good health. They were able to give birth to children despite all the trouble, and they are still alive today.
Akui recognized the smell at this time, and heard Miss Zunzi's childish but unusually calm voice: "If something happens to me, you can't protect me, and my mother can't protect me. You said the royal family would want a meat-eater Will your lady enter the palace?”
Of course not! That's why Miss Zunzi is like this, changing from the past and even the cautiousness of all noble ladies, wearing fancy clothes and eating meat. The purpose is to reassure Mrs. Renzi that she has no intention of entering the palace. In this case, she can still save her life.
Now she finally understood. Akui raised her head and looked at Miss Zunzi, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, chewing in her mouth, but her eyes lost the innocence of a child and were as deep and sophisticated as an old woman.
A'Kui saluted gracefully and slowly: "A'Kui understands Miss's hard work. A'Kui will not go against Miss's ideas." "Yeah~" Xining nodded: "I heard that your daughter was born at my second brother's place A daughter, you are also a grandmother, just like how old the child is..."
Akui immediately replied: "It's three years old."
"Well, only if your daughter is good, your daughter can survive." Xining's words were meaningful: "You are also very lucky. When the time is right, let my third or fourth brother adopt you as an adopted daughter. If it doesn't work, I will take her as your adopted daughter. I will get married." You can choose a good family.”
Akui was immediately delighted: "Thank you, Miss."
Xining added: "You can be considered an old man in my mother's place. There are only two old people left in my place. If my mother can send you to me, you can't overdo it. From today on, you and the big manager will take care of each other." I will keep all expenses related to Zhuangzi in mind. I will check the accounts then to see if you and the chief manager are competent."
Is this equivalent to being promoted to deputy chief manager or financial manager? Akui immediately saluted: "I will do my best, my servant."
"Okay, go and do your work if you have nothing to do. If you need anything, just come over and answer me." Xining stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth.
Akui bowed and resigned with joy and gratitude. Her words and deeds were extremely elegant and impeccable. After all, she was a maid of a wealthy family.
Give her something to do, otherwise she will get busy. By giving him an errand and a promise, he could stop this old slave from coming over to make trouble, and Mrs. Akiko would be able to say a few words if she found out about it in the future. By the way, I will take care of the accounts of this village. You must know that this village is so big and the income must be quite a lot. I don’t believe there is no greedy person in it.
History tells everyone the importance of money. But now if you want to be financially independent, you must get enough money! Mr. Fujiwara will get married and become a monk in less than a year. Only when he has money can he make his own decisions.
Xining finished the bowl of bamboo shoot barbecue, poured the remaining rice into the broth, and mixed it with rice. There is too much fat. As far as the previous diet was concerned, it was pretty good if I didn’t starve to death.
After lunch, take a nap. Look at the body owner’s tiny arms and legs. He gets dizzy every time he stands up. He needs to gain some muscle.
After sleeping for an hour, I woke up comfortably and called A Ling.
Aling, who was sitting on her knees outside the curtain, stood up, opened the curtain, and fixed it with the hook next to it: "Miss, you slept well."
"It's okay!" Xining stretched, um, comfortable, and slept comfortably.
"The chief steward is here, we have been waiting for a long time."
It seemed that Akui had found the big manager, but Xining knew it and asked, "Did he say something happened?"
"He said it's okay, it's just a minor matter. He'll wait until the young lady wakes up to report it." A Ling replied. Natsuki and Natsuki beside her had already fetched water and were ready to help her get up.
After Xining wiped his face and hands, he walked outside the bed tent, knelt down in front of the desk, and began to add water and grind it: "Ask him to come in."
"Yes!" A Ling knelt down beside her, while Xia Shu went out and called the chief steward in.
