Chapter 83 The Matchmaker Comes to the Door(1/2)
The fourth and fifth wife were housekeepers for the first time, but the breakfast was in chaos before it even started.
Either the things distributed in each room were wrong, or the servants were not assigned clearly, which made the people under him very anxious. The fourth wife wanted to show off, but she got up before dawn. Before the fifth wife arrived, she started to arrange it first.
By the time the fifth wife arrived, it was already a mess, the fourth wife was already a little panicked, and the fifth wife was not good at looking at her, so she had to bite the bullet and help. The result can be imagined.
Not long after, all the managers in various places showed up. Either this one had an objection or the one who complained about grievance. The fourth wife never expected that she would just take care of her family and assign a friend. What are these individuals? Can they bully her?
It’s useless to show off your wife’s style and try to shock these servants.
In the end, they all went to the old lady.
In fact, last night, a few managers found the old lady and went there, but they disappeared, so they didn't dare to break in. At this time, people took advantage of the crowds and made trouble again.
"Old lady, look, this is the account book of our big kitchen. The fourth wife can't believe it. The old slave only wants to be innocent."
The manager of the big kitchen, Madam Li, held the account book, looked aggrieved and spoke in a crying voice. Yesterday, the fourth wife asked everyone to report today's expenses, and the same was true in the past. She reported it one day in advance so that the mansion could make arrangements. When she reported it, the fourth wife immediately said in front of other managers that she had reported too much, which was enough for the mansion to eat for several days.
I said that I had heard about the big kitchen for a long time, but I couldn't do this in the future. I asked her to report it again and carefully report it. The meals in each room were distributed. Isn't this saying that she was not clean?
"Old lady, you know that before the New Year, there are more things to be organized, and the expenses are more than before. Some things are prepared for not necessarily for use today..."
Before Madam Li could finish her grievance, Madam Zhang, who was standing beside her, also spoke, "Thanks to the trust of the old lady and the second lady, I dare not say anything else over the years, but the servants can touch their conscience and say that they have never done anything wrong with the mansion. This year's purchase, and the mansion needs to add people, the expenses are naturally huge..."
The old lady pinched her eyebrows and looked at the people in the room, asking Madam Chen to help her sit down. When everyone saw that the old lady was moving, they finally stopped chattering.
The fourth wife and the fifth wife stood aside with their heads down, especially the fourth wife, with a flushed face, but they still felt that it must be these servants who deliberately couldn't get along with them.
"If you are worried about you, you will not let you take these errands. The fourth and fifth wives have just taken over, and many things are still unclear. You should also take care of them more."
"Big Madam, then..." The most taboo thing for people below to do is the master of the superior. If the fourth wife really let the fourth wife take care of this family in the future, they will probably be unable to do it, and the fifth wife will not say anything for a long time.
The old lady took the tea served by Madam Chen, blew slowly and sipped and said, "After that, you are all here, today I will say that the second wife will leave Huaian tomorrow. Therefore, the second wife cannot worry about the affairs of the mansion. Today, this is the case. You can continue to do it, and you will be busy as usual. Later, the old woman will draft a charter. You will come again tomorrow."
A light sentence made everyone startled.
Just the fifth wife, who always has no expression on her face, looked at the old lady in shock. What does this mean? What does it mean to leave Huaian? And this means that she will never come back in the future?
The old man and the old lady are alive, why should the second wife leave? This is not a separation... Home...
Thinking of this, the fifth wife was already nervously holding the embroidered hand tightly and covering her chest. Oh my God, what happened? Yesterday she felt that something was wrong with the old lady asking them to keep the housekeeper.
She was thinking about going to see her second sister-in-law later...
"Mom? What does this mean? Second Room..."
"You guys go out first." The old lady glared at the fourth wife, told her to shut up, and spoke out to send the servants in the room first.
Originally, if these two people were responsible for the matter, they could take over the matter and let them help the housekeeper, it would be nothing wrong, but...fortunately, I am still struggling now.
Those who can become managers are smart. This is a big deal in the house. The master's family's affairs are, and they are slaves, and they can watch the fun, but they can't interfere, and they can't get involved. The old lady doesn't want them to listen, so they just leave.
They all bowed and took off, and their voices became much lighter now.
"Old lady, there is another thing. Please send me a message. The girl and the woman you want to add to the mansion has been brought into the mansion. Look..."
There are people who leave the mansion every year, so they naturally need to fill it properly. The old lady looked at Grandma Kui and said, "I know, everyone in each room is reported, you can get the people in each room and let them choose them for themselves... By the way, the big girl just came back, how could she report the number?"
Grandma Kui bowed and replied, "Reply to the old lady, some, the eldest lady reported it, the eldest lady wants a girl." This is the girl who wants to serve the lady in person, so she will be more meticulous, so she will naturally remember this.
Speaking of this young lady, there have been many rumors in the mansion recently and have not met before. I heard that it is not simple. Today, the old lady has personally inquired about it, which shows that she is still somewhat handsome.
Aren’t they, nowadays, just act according to the face of the master?
"You go and arrange the other girls, and bring them here for the eldest girl. Chunlan, you go to Qianyuan and let the eldest wife and the eldest lady come here."
The old lady forgot about Lin Shuang's foot injury, and the people next to her also forgot to remind her that Chunlan hurriedly took the words.
The fourth wife was anxious to know what was going on, but she didn't dare to speak anymore when she looked at the old lady. The more she was like this, the more anxious she felt, as if a cat had mercyed.
"Don't think about it, you'll know later." It can be seen that the old lady was in a bad mood.
"Mom, it's because my wife is not doing well, and I'm working hard for you." The fifth wife was a little embarrassed and sighed in her heart. She had been in charge for only one day and had been in charge of this. Although most of the fourth wife made her own decisions, she was doing things together and could not shirk responsibility.
Although this daughter-in-law is a dull man, she never has much trouble. Because of her background, she always lacks confidence. However, if she doesn't excel, she won't make mistakes.
The fourth family is stronger, but in terms of family background, but in terms of ability, the second family, there is a eldest daughter-in-law in front of him. Over the years, I have been thinking about having an opportunity to perform, but...
The old lady is too lazy to evaluate, she is not the butler's material.
"Mom... the wife is not doing well, these are in charge of the business..." I wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. The fourth wife really felt shameless, but she felt a little dissatisfied.
Madam Chen looked at the fourth wife and shook her head secretly.
"Report to the old lady, the Nie family invites someone to talk to the matchmaker... is here." The person who came to inform him was a little girl. This was the first time that a serious matchmaker came to the house, and she was so full of fanfare.
The old lady closed her eyes and said that the Nie family was doing things neatly. The letter from her trip came to the door early this morning. The old man said last night that he asked someone to ask for a closer look at the Nie family. Although the family's wealth was a little thin, the family style was good, and the young master of the Nie family was also a good person. That's all.
Since I asked someone to say it, the second family has not succeeded now. Although it is just a word, the Lin family cannot do this trick, so this marriage still needs to be made.
Nie family? Which Nie family? What media are you talking about?
The fifth wife and the fourth wife were both confused.
"Please come in." There are only a few girls in the family who are suitable for marriage. If you want to talk about age, in addition to the second girl, Yi Yatou of the fifth bedroom, Zhi Yatou of the second bedroom, Yue Yatou of the third bedroom, but the second bedroom... there are only the big girl and Yi Yatou, and Yue Yatou.
The eldest girl just came back, and she felt unsure. As for the Yue girl... that girl is so handsome that she is too similar to her mother. I am afraid she won't be happy with this marriage.
The old lady was really embarrassed for a moment.
The Nie family invited the famous matchmaker in the city, matchmaker Cui. Not only the matchmaker came, but also the Madam Fang next to the old lady of the Nie family came.
This is the first time I have seen a matchmaker come together in addition to the matchmaker's family.
"I'll pay tribute to the old lady and the two wives." The matchmaker laughed at everyone, and said with honey. Where there is a matchmaker, it will definitely not be deserted.
Madam Chen asked someone to have a tea and sat down again. Madam Fang, who came with her, was very polite to ask the old lady and the two wives about their feelings, but she refused to sit down.
"Old lady, I'm not praising you. The young master of the Nie family is a handsome talent. The most important thing is that you have good character and good knowledge. You will definitely be a promising person in the future." He praised him when he opened the door.
What was Nie Mu's situation? The old lady felt a little clear about it without her saying it. She nodded and agreed.
Strangely, the old lady always stopped her from doing this. What's wrong with this today? Could it be that she really intends to marry the Nie family?
When Matchmaker Cui saw that the old lady had no intention of stopping her, she felt lit up and there was a chance, so she quickly said again.
It was said everything that should be said, matchmaker Cui shut up obediently, and it was time for the old lady to say that. This is also a matter of acting according to people's expressions.
"I heard what matchmaker Cui said, the Nie family really praised the Lin family. The girls in my house have not even said they were close to each other. I wonder which girl the Nie family is interested in?"
"Oh, this relationship is good, and it's all the scholars. It's really good. Old Mrs. Nie said that as long as it's a girl from the Lin family, it's always okay. The old lady thinks it's suitable." Speaking of this, matchmaker Cui was also a little embarrassed. This was the first time she said such a marriage, and there was no designated person. According to Mrs. Nie, she was just a girl from the Lin family.
This is really...
This old lady Nie is smart and must have inquired clearly. There are only a few girls of the right age in the house. Madam Chen glanced at Madam Fang, who had been smiling and not talking. Could it be that she was here to see her?
"There are indeed a few people of the age in my house..." The old lady paused as she said, and coincidentally, the girl came to inform her that the eldest lady and the eldest lady were here.
The old lady frowned slightly, flashed by, then she could not see any emotion and ordered her to come in.
It was a coincidence.
The Madam Fang's eyes lit up. Is the old lady intentionally asking her to see her?
This misunderstanding caused a fuss.
"Mom, you have guests." The eldest lady helped Lin Shuangyu walk in and glanced at him. Is there anything wrong with this?
After being enlightened by Lin Shuang's words yesterday, the eldest wife knew a little more clearly than the fourth and fifth wives.
"Grandmother! Two aunts." Lin Shuang said with a whisper, the old lady almost said, and looked at the outsider in the hall and changed her mind.
No matter what, her surname is now Lin.
The old lady's eyes fell on Lin Shuangyu's feet, and her hands holding the Buddhist beads relaxed, and she hurriedly said, "Look, I'm so old that I'm forgetful. Please sit down and don't stand. Are your feet better?"
"Old lady, Dr. Luo has seen it. It's okay. You can leave after raising it for a few days." The eldest lady replied instead. There was an outsider here, which made an unmarried girl always speak.
"That's good." After the old lady said that, she introduced to matchmaker Cui and Madam Fang, "This is my eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest girl."
"I have met the eldest wife, the eldest lady!" The two of them were also polite.
After being polite, the two of them became polite and fell on Lin Shuangyu for a while. Not to mention that they misunderstood, even the fourth and fifth wives had the same idea.
Is this going to kiss the eldest lady? Speaking of which, the eldest lady is really the time to kiss, and it will be time for her next year.
"No wonder Mrs. Nie said that as long as she is a girl in the house, there is nothing wrong with it. Look at this young lady, she is a scholarly lady. Her demeanor and appearance look like a fairy, which makes people look rare."
Matchmaker Cui’s eyes are not hype, but she is still a little accurate in looking at people. Since she is a matchmaker, she is aware of the girls in the Lin family.
This young lady is so different from what she thinks in her heart.
It is said that I just picked it up from my hometown village. I heard that my appearance was ugly and my behavior was vulgar. It was so ugly. There were some new marks on my forehead, but looking at it, it would not leave scars. With these facial features, contours, and such a foundation, I would have been raised by this wealthy family for a while, and I would not have been a beautiful woman.
Not to mention this appearance, but with this kind of demeanor, you can't tell that you grew up in the village. Your every move, your eyes, and your expression, your demeanor is everyone's style.
I have talked about the media for so many years and I have met many daughters. This eldest lady of the Lin family is definitely worth a few.
Madam Fang was also surprised. It was so good, it was a good time, hey! At first, she was worried that she would be wronged by Master Mu. Now, the old lady meant that she was indeed the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion, and she was attracted by her special situation in the Lin Mansion.
The old lady said last night that Lin Mansion is a bit taller than the Nie family. Women can marry high, but men may not be a good thing.
However, the Lin family's Fengliu, Old Master Lin and the old lady are not confused. It is really rare to find such an in-laws in Huai'an City. If the old lady didn't think that Young Master Mu was a good one and could match Miss Lin's family, she wouldn't have spoken like Old Mrs. Xia at the beginning.
I was not expecting it anymore, but I didn't expect that I suddenly received a letter yesterday. The old lady quickly asked someone to inquire about the girl in the house. After hearing the relevant news about the young lady, she slapped her thigh and said twice.
