Chapter 2 Rewards
Even though his heart was ups and downs, Mu Yun's face was calm. After all, he had been in the office for several months and had his previous experience, his psychological quality was still very good, and he was not confused by Xiaoqian.
In the room, Xu said to Madam Yun: "Although I also rewarded her a lot after Mu Yun recovered from illness last time, the child has been soaked in the water for a long time, so he still needs to take good care of himself. In the past few months, I have seen that child is a good person. I will talk to her in two days and plan for her."
Madam Yun nodded: "This is the blessing of that girl Mu Yun!"
Seeing that they were almost talking, Mu Yun increased his footsteps. Xu and Madam Yun in the room stopped talking.
Mu Yun held the tray with a few plates of exquisite snacks on it. He entered the house and placed the tray on the table and turned around and said to Xu, "Madam, do you want to use some? Or wait for Sister Bai Wei to make tea together?"
Xu smiled and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
At this time, Bai Wei also came in with the tea. She picked up the teacup and handed it to Xu and smiled: "I am the first time I brew this tea. I don't know if it's up to my wife's appetite. I'll try it. If it's not good, I will make another cup."
Xu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, nodded: "It's good to be soaked in this way for the first time. The cups that matched are not good. These agate and crystal cups are not suitable for making tea. I don't know where these things were picked, and I always feel uncomfortable when I use them."
This was a match for Mu Yun's appetite. Some of the agate crystals are naturally radiant, and it is hard to say when it comes to heat at room temperature.
Bai Wei heard Xu's words: "I can save it. I will give my wife a tea set with green or white glaze next time."
Just now, Madam Yun just used a comb to clear Xu's scalp and did not dress up. Bai Wei picked up the comb and asked, "What kind of bun do you want to combed with a madam?"
Xu thought for a while: "It's okay! You don't go out today, don't just do something too complicated."
Bai Wei responded with a smile, and quickly combed Xu's elegant hair bun. Mu Yun handed some hairpins and other things beside him.
Mu Yun and Bai Wei dressed up Xu. After Xu had used the refreshments, they packed up and moved a stack of accounts in the house to the table.
Xu and Madam Yun began to handle the account book, Bai Wei also helped, and Mu Yun began to sit back at the door to make up the books.
A noise came from outside at midnight. Before Xu could speak, Bai Wei stood up and checked. She saw a little maid quarreling with the guardian of the door. She couldn't help but step forward and scolded, "How is the norm for you two to scream like this?"
When Mrs. Sun saw that the person who came was Bai Wei next to her, she quickly smiled and said, "Miss Bai Wei, it's all a little maid who blames this little maid. She has to meet her in person if there is something important. How can our wife be seen by a little maid in the outer courtyard? Didn't this stop her and start a quarrel with her, but did she disturb her?"
Bai Wei snorted softly: "You still know that you have disturbed your wife. Do you look at me and don't know your little thoughts?" She turned around and asked the little maid: "Which yard are you from? Why don't you understand the rules like this? You can also enter the eldest lady's yard at will? If you have anything, tell me!"
Mrs. Sun also spoke from the side: "This is the first-class maid next to the wife. Even if you don't tell me about it, you shouldn't hide it from Miss Bai Wei."
Seeing that Bai Wei was dressed very brightly and was so jewel-like that she was a little more noble than the concubine in the Duke's Mansion. At first glance, she knew that she was favored and didn't say anything. She hurriedly said, "It was the manager of the outer court who sent me here. It was said that the second master and the second wife had arrived at the dock and asked me to tell the eldest wife."
Bai Wei turned and said happily: "What? The second master and the second wife are back. You girl didn't say it earlier, and you were still stumbling here." Then she asked a few questions, just asking which housekeeper went to pick up the person, lined up a few carriages, etc. After asking, she said: "Okay, for the sake of the happy event today, I won't bother with you. I'll do anything like this next time I'll be so whisper. Be careful to hit you. You can take this hairpin with you." Then she gave the hairpin with pure gold inlaid ruby on her head to the little maid.
I had heard that the sister of Country Garden has made a generous little maid today. This gold hairpin can be worth her annual salary! She happily ran away with the ring. Grandma Sun looked at the little maid who ran away enviously. This girl was really lucky. If she hadn't been willing to tell her the news, she would have received a reward now. The wife's reward might be a little heavier than what Bai Wei gave her. Unexpectedly, Bai Wei turned to her and said to her: "The little maid in the outer courtyard doesn't understand the rules. Mom is an old man, so she doesn't understand the rules. It's certainly wrong for her to scream like this, but it's not right for her to yell like this. Mom should stop it first. Why did she even quarrel with a little maid? I know you want to get the news and get the reward, but it's wrong for you to disturb the wife when you make a fuss! Mom must be more careful in the future." After that, she turned around and went in.
Mrs. Sun dared not act rashly, and she was scolded twice in just a short time today. If someone found out, she would have to find her wrong place so that she could drive her off.
When Xu heard that the second brother and second brother and sister-in-law had arrived, he asked, "Is it appropriate to ask you to clean the Hunchun Courtyard a few days ago?" He pondered for a while and said, "I'm sending someone to Hunchun Courtyard to see what else is missing, so I'll make up for it quickly." Bai Wei and Madam Yun agreed.
Madam Yun assigned the tasks one by one. Bai Wei asked, "Madam, do you want to send someone to Renshoutang to inform the old lady?"
Xu paused: "Send a little maid to inform me!"
Bai Wei took the order and hurried out to find a little maid and asked her to inform the old lady.
The old lady is actually not the original wife of Duke Cheng, but the second wife. The old lady’s family is just a fourth-rank official. Even if she is a second wife, she will marry a high-ranking marriage to Duke Cheng’s mansion!
The old lady has one son and two daughters, namely the fourth master, the eldest aunt and the second aunt in the mansion.
The former old Duke's wife had two sons, the current Duke Cheng and the second master.
Xu was also the second wife, but Xu was born in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and was the eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion. He also knew him when he was young. The wife of the former Duke died of labor when she gave birth to the prince. When the prince was one year old, she married the Xu family and entered the family.
The Xu family is now in charge of the mansion of the Duke of Chengguo. In the upper class, the powerful people will not look down on her because she is the second wife. Instead, the old lady is simply a laughing stock in the upper class after dinner.
After busy for a while, Xu remembered: "Bai Wei, I'm ready for the second master's good brother, Jing Ge'er and Xue Jie'er? Take it over and show me."
In a moment, Bai Wei and Mu Yun hugged one person and two people, while the latter came over with a brocade box. Bai Wei said, "Madam, do you think this is feasible?"
Xu glanced at it, frowned and said, "Is it a little thinner?"
Bai Wei returned: "I know that you care for the second, third and seventh ladies, but the old lady is afraid that the old lady will not give too expensive things..."
