"Oh, my aunt! Are you more quick? The Fourth Master said that we have to clean all the rooms today, so we have to let the master go home and see the clean house. The front and back yards are moving. Your yard is still quiet, so this is too big..."

"That's right, I really think I'm a petite lady. A businessman's daughter just met the master a few days ago. She really thinks she is a hot commodity..."

"The most important thing for a person is to have self-knowledge. Don't be so strong about climbing the dragon and attaching to the phoenix. Don't you think that artemisia grass is in your own ancestral grave?"

On the cold autumn morning, before breakfast was eaten, three or four girls were surrounded by beautiful girls at the entrance of the side courtyard where Hu Niu lived. Although they were all dressed as maids with short clothes, they looked at the fabrics carefully and found that they were all the highest-end products on the market, and even the jewelry on their heads was not ordinary.

This is the private residence of Huang Juren. After the chaos in Tanggu, it was bought by Lotte Foreign Company at a "cost price" and turned into Xiao Lotte's private residence. Although Xiao Lotte has not lived in for a day, the renovation work has never stopped. Now the entire residence has been completely renewed. Hu Niu had already lived in it a month ago.

Hu Niu really manages this house like a hostess. All the displays, tables, chairs, furniture, screens and curtains were selected by Hu Niu. Even... Hu Niu even left a house for Sister Hui. Don't think that everyone is blind and Xiao Letian steals Fuhui. The servants have known about it for a long time, so don't even think about hiding Hu Niu.

No matter how rebellious Hu Niu is, she is also a girl who grew up in traditional culture. It has long been natural for brainwashing three wives and four concubines. In addition, Fuhui has a good relationship with her, so she really treats Fuhui as her sister, of course she is the kind of sister who works with one husband.

But he never expected that Hu Niu did not wait for Xiao Letian and Fuhui to arrive, but a month ago, a group of servants came from Beijing. Hu Niu was originally unwilling to accept these irrelevant outsiders, but for the sake of Master Qing San, who led the team, Hu Niu couldn't beat him out.

But after a few days of staying, all kinds of tricks began to play. The black and thin Mr. Jiao Si was a typical smiling tiger. On the surface, he called out a lady, but secretly moved Hu Niu from the main house to a remote wing room on the grounds of decorating the house. This yard was originally the most unlucky concubine around Huang Juren, and it was the most dilapidated.

Unwilling to let go, Hu Niu was about to quarrel with Jiao Siye, but the thin old man was not angry at all. He sent Hu Niu back in one sentence, "Miss, you can't send me a temper to my servants? I'm in charge of this family for the time being, but the aunt and third master of Fucha's family agreed to live. Even your father, shopkeeper Fan Jian, didn't say anything! We are all living for the comfort of the master, right?"

"I want me to tell you, Miss, you should enjoy wealth, good food, good drinks and good accommodation. What else do you have to worry about? To put it unpleasantly, have you not entered the door yet?"

Hu Niu's face was bloody and red at that time. A few words were like a knife and he couldn't refute it at all. That night, Hu Niu went to find her own father, but in return it was her father's sigh.

"Daughter, let me tell you the truth. In the future, the expenses in the house will be transferred directly from the foreign company's account to Jiao Sier. Only you dozens of people have to withdraw 10,000 taels of silver a month..."

"Ah? Daddy, you're crazy. Can you agree to such conditions?" Hu Niu was so scared that when she was in charge of this house, she would have spent 200,000 taels in a month. Now she dared to pay 10,000 taels?

"Silly daughter, one time and another. Now rumors have been released in the capital. Xiao Letian is the Manchu son-in-law appointed by the Empress Dowager. Fuhui must be a big house when he entered the family, and Jiao Sier is the slave of their Fucha family for generations. It is natural to serve the son-in-law..."

"And... and haven't you seen those dozen women? I heard that they were all carefully selected girls from Fuhui's house, saying that they wanted to give Mr. Xiao a Grand View Garden. Alas, this is clearly showing that they want to steal your status, and they want to squeeze you away... My daughter think about it, this kind of big family can eat people and don't spit bones!"

Hu Niu fully understood that Fuhui was not a close sister at all. She was a vicious woman who wanted to monopolize Xiao Letian. She wanted to force herself away completely.

Who is my Hu Niu? I am not afraid of you, but you are afraid of the smuggling? No one in the world can kill me from this house except Brother Xiao’s words. The stubborn Hu Niu didn’t listen to her father’s advice at all, and she never left Xiao Letian’s house. She was considered to have been experiencing this group of shameless people.

Hu Niu didn't know what her father was worried about. A little girl didn't have that much knowledge. She knew that Master Qing San and Fan Jian had been worried about these servants for several days.

The reason is very simple. These servants were nominally found by Fuhui, but there was no secret in Sijiu City. From the beginning, Master Qing San knew that Master Jiao went to the Interior Office secretly before coming, and even met Cixi's confidant An Dehai. The next day, Master Jiao took out a team of young women from the Jiaofangsi under the banner of Fucha.

The Jiaofangsi of the Ming and Qing dynasties was nominally a musician, but in fact they were officials. The wives and daughters of criminal officials, and even the family members captured during the Tian Civil War. Any young and beautiful person who was favored by the Jiaofangsi would be transported to Beijing. They should train piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing since childhood. On the one hand, they could perform at banquets, and on the other hand, they could also reward meritorious officials at any time.

Jiao Sier was able to bring people out of the Jiaofangs, which shows that this was recognized by the senior officials of the court. At least it had to be a prince-level approval note, nominally Fuhui's dowry girl. In fact, anyone with discerning eyes could see clearly the role of these women.

"Brother Xiao's every move of Ryukyu this time has made the court afraid. These women are here to monitor. The other purpose is to use cosmetics to soak Xiao Letian's bones soft..." Master Qing San said the court's open conspiracy.

Since it was an open conspiracy, it was very difficult to deal with. Jiao Sier's domineering arrogance could only endure. He said that Hu Niu would move, and Hu Niu would move. He said that he would need 10,000 yuan per month, so he would give him 10,000 yuan. In the end, he even forbidden Hu Niu to go out at will, but the shopkeeper Fan also endured it. After all, this was the rule of the big family.

In this way, Jiao Si became more and more arrogant. In the end, he even regarded Hu Niu as a maid and dared to give orders to Hu Niu to work. Early in the morning, Amber, Jinchuan, Fangguan and Xiangling were blocking the gate of the courtyard. Before he could eat breakfast, he forced Hu Niu and A Chou to clean the house.

Ah Chou was so angry that the two fat chefs couldn't hold her back. "Your surname is Jiao... You are too arrogant. You dare to do this so badly if the master's subordinates are not there. It would be great if Brother Wang Huaiyuan was there. If the other guards of the gentleman were there, you could kill you..."

"You bad guy, bastard, wait until the master comes back and mobilizes troops to destroy you, and shoots you to death..."

Ah Chou's angry scolding stimulated Jiao Si Master. He didn't know why he felt nervous. He suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard these days. It is said that Xiao Letian really has a group of desperate people. These people must have a good relationship with Hu Niu. If they are broken, will they shoot black bricks for me then?

Just as he was hesitating, the cotton curtain in the wing room suddenly opened, and Hu Niu walked out with a strange black dress sneered.

"Have you made enough trouble?" Hu Niu looked around. "I am the biggest in the inner house now. I listen to me and let me go first..." Before he finished speaking, Jiao Si Jue jumped up. "Why are you the biggest? I was so surprised. It's already a blessing for you, a woman who is not a matchmaker and has no hiring to live here. How dare you take the style of your master now?"
