Chapter two hundred and thirty ninth sowing discord

Mo Shi just left with the three-character paper written by Xu Lang, Shiqin came in and said, "Third Master, Third Grandma, Mom Yu is here, saying that she wants to give gifts to Third Grandma."

"Okay." Chen Danxia pulled Xu Lang's sleeve, "Let's go out."

The two went to sit down in the main hall. The four mothers of Fulu and Shouxi came in with two pianos, two books, two paintings, two chess and Sanmo and other dowry servants. Chen Danxia married and brought six houses, four nannies and twelve maids. The servants entered the hall to kowtow to Xu Lang, and the male servants kowtowed outside the yard.

The Xu family is currently in charge of the yard. After everyone kowtowed, they took out the purse that had been prepared, "This is what the third master rewards everyone."

"Xie Sanye." Everyone kowtowed.

The Fu Madam stayed, and the three mothers Lu Shouxi led everyone out, and four ty-year-old girls came in, as well as four servants who had been withdrew from each other every year.

Madam Yu stepped forward and knelt down and smiled, "Grandma San, this is the servant I used in the yard. If the third grandma feels it is suitable, she will keep it. If she thinks it is not suitable, she will wait until her grandma returns to the door, or asks the tooth to buy a batch of people in the mansion."

"Mom gets up and talks." Chen Danxia stepped forward and helped Madam Yu up, raised her hand again, and asked the fourteen people to get up.

Chen Danxia was also prepared, and Mrs. Fu also gave each person a purse. Chen Danxia's eyes swept over everyone, and Luo Yu's body, and smiled and said, "I'm here for the first time, but I don't know the rules at home, so I'll ask my mother to give me some advice."

Madam Yu smiled and said, "Before grandma got married, the old lady had already agreed with her wife that the affairs of the Third Master and Grandma in the yard will be decided by grandma. How many people will be served in the grandma's house? How many people will still be served here, and there is no need to follow the old rules of the Xu family. As for the expenses, after the general calculation, it will be directly assigned to grandma at the beginning of each month and arranged by grandma. Every day, the ingredients of the Third Master and Grandma's yard will be walked from the kitchen in the courtyard and will not deal with the large kitchen in the mansion. I wonder if there are any servants who are good at Grandma's side who are good at cooking?"

Chen Danxia didn't expect that Mrs. Xu would do this for her and Xu Lang, so that she would have a firm grasp of Lingxiyuan from the beginning, and there was no need to compete with Shen Meimei to rob. She bowed and said, "Grandma loved her, and Xia Er was grateful. I can handle the matters in the yard myself, but in terms of the number of people, it is more appropriate to follow the old rules. The extra people will not leave the public account and leave it from my private account. Mom, do you think this is good?"

Madam Yu smiled and said, "The third grandma has considered it more thoroughly, so let's listen to the third grandma. The third grandma is the legitimate daughter-in-law. She follows the old rules. The people who serve her are two old wives, two big girls of two taels, six second-class girls of one tael, six third-class girls of five hundred coins, four 500 coins, and eight little girls of three hundred coins."

Chen Danxia lowered his head and calculated the number of people, saying, "Mom Fu, remember, you and Mom Lu left the public account, Mom Shou and Mom Xi, go from my private account, what did you care about in my yard before, but what do you still care about now."

"Yes, I've recorded it and I'll tell them later." Mrs. Fu smiled.

Chen Danxia's chin and continued, "Shiqin was a first-class maid, but now he still takes two or two months of the same book. He doesn't lose and forget the brocade and ink books, and don't forget, don't leave, don't give up, and you'll get one or two months of the same book when you enter the painting chess. It turns out that the people in the yard are called..." Chen Danxia paused and turned his head to look at Xu Lang, "They have been serving you, can you keep it together?"

"I have no objection to you when you take the initiative." Xu Lang smiled faintly.

Chen Danxia glanced at him, turned his head and said to the nanny, "Save it all."

"Grandma San, there are two third-class girls and eight little girls, as well as the cook. When Grandma San returns to the door, she wants one of them with her in-laws." Madam Yu reminded her.

"Cook, I'll go back to my mother's house to ask for my mother. For the rest, let the manager pick someone in there." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"I'll make arrangements now," Madam Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, mom." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"This is my job, it's not hard work." Madam Yu smiled and retreated.

Chen Dan called out: "Mama Fu."

"I'm here." Mrs. Fu stepped forward and walked forward.

"I will leave the matter in the yard to a few mothers. Let Mom Lu talk about my rules with those rough mothers and little girls." Chen Danxia said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Grandma Third, I will guard the yard with a few old slaves." Mrs. Fu said seriously.

"Mom, go down and do things." Chen Danxia smiled.

Mrs. Fu bowed and left.

Xu Lang reached out and hugged Chen Danxia horizontally. Chen Danxia exclaimed and hugged his neck, "It's broad daylight, what are you doing?"

"You rubbed your waist six times just now." Xu Lang kept paying attention to her.

"Since you know that my waist is sore, you are still like this!" Chen Danxia said pouting.

"I want to help you rub your waist. What do you think I want to do?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.

Chen Danxia gently kicked the skirt and smiled and said, "Must rub it well, I will feel comfortable with you. I will reward you with money."

"Grandma Xu San, your claim is wrong." Xu Lang said with a wicked smile.

"Hate." Chen Danxia clenched his fist and pounded him in front of his chest.

Xu Lang carried Chen Danxia into the west tip and placed it on the Luohan couch Chen Danxia lay on the soft pillow. Xu Lang put his palm on her waist and helped her gently rub her waist. The force was neither light nor heavy, and Chen Danxia closed her eyes comfortably, her lips pouted slightly, and a humming sound was made.

This delicate voice reminded Xu Lang of the charm she had emitted under him last night. His eyes were slightly darker, and he leaned over and called out softly, "Jiu'er."

Chen Danxia was clever and woke up from the mysterious stare, opened his eyes and looked at him, "What are you doing?"

Xu Lang reached out to help her pull her hanging head behind her ear and said, "I'll take you to bed to sleep."

"Just sleep, don't make trouble." Chen Danxia was disturbed by him all night, and now his whole body is sour, and there seems to be a burning pain in that place.

"Does it hurt? Let me see, okay?" Xu Lang reached out to untie her belt.

Chen Danxia held his hand and said, "It doesn't hurt a lot, don't make a fuss, let me take a good rest."

"I was not good last night, but I couldn't help it at that time." Xu Lang picked her up and whispered in her ear.

"I know, I don't blame you, but you can't be so rogue in the future. You have to care about me." Chen Danxia stretched out his hand and wrapped his slender waist, leaned his cheek against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. She understood his out of control. In this era, when men were fifteen or sixteen years old, their elders would arrange maids to eat food for these young men. Few people like Xu Lang, Shen Baimi, and Shen Baiyu kept their childlike body until the wedding night. Xu Chao and Xu Sheng had more than one maid. The men of this era, their first woman, were usually not his wife.

Xu Lang curled the corners of his lips and hugged her tighter. Chen Danxia was carried onto the bed by him, and the two of them slept on the bed with their heads. While chatting, Xu Lang continued to rub her waist. Chen Danxia slowly fell asleep. It was already an hour later when she woke up.

Chen Danxia didn't see Xu Lang, so he got up and walked out. Shiqin and Mo Si Mo Wang were doing needlework in the outdoor room. When he saw her coming out, he stood up and called, "Grandma Three."

"I'm thirsty, pour a glass of water." Chen Danxia walked to the couch and sat down.

Shiqin poured a glass of water and presented it to her with both hands.

Chen Danxia finished drinking the water and asked, "When is it?"

"It's almost noon." Shiqin replied.

Chen Danxia returned the hollow cup to her and asked, "Where has the Third Master been?"

"The third master is reading in the study." Shiqin smiled and reported.

"Can I sort out the things I often use?" Chen Danxia asked.

"It's all done and put it in. The makeup box is placed in Dongqianyuan. When grandma has time, register and enter the private warehouse. Grandma, this is the key to the door of Dongqianyuan." Shiqin took out the key from her arms and said.

While talking, Xu Lang walked in. According to the rules of the Xu family, the newlyweds would gather together for dinner on the first day. In the future, they would be able to have a meal alone in Lingxiyuan, but they would have to go to the courtyard to pay their respects to Mrs. Xu every five days. As a daughter-in-law, Chen Danxia, ​​unless Chen Ning agreed, she would have to pay her respects to Mrs. Chen every morning and evening. Fortunately, with Mrs. Xu, Chen Danxia would not have to serve Chen Ning’s three meals a day.

During lunch, the men and women of the Xu family divided the tables. Mrs. Xu sat down in the middle position. Mrs. Chen sat in her left hand position. Mrs. Xu pointed out that Chen Danxia would sit on her right hand position. Qin, Xu's wife, was sitting on Shen Danxia's right hand position.

The meal was very rich, and the three dishes placed in front of Shen Danxia were all the ones she liked, including mandarin duck carp, osmanthus tendons and crystal quail eggs. The cook of the Xu family would know her preferences, and Xu Lang must have told Chen Danxia that he could not see Xu Lang on the side of the screen, and he felt sweet in his heart, and pursed his lips and smiled.

After lunch quietly, I took Mrs. Xu into the car. Xu Kui suddenly said to his sons: "Go to the study room of the outer courtyard, I have something to say to you."

He took Xu Lang and his brothers to the outer courtyard. Chen Gongyan stared at Chen Danxia and said in a stiff tone: "You don't have to come here to pay your respects in the evening."

"Mrs. Xie is lenient." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

Chen Meng opened her face coldly and left with Xu Wen. Chen Danxia didn't care. She was about to take Mo Si and Mo Wang back when Qin suddenly walked over, "third brother and sister."

"Sister-in-law." Chen Danxia smiled faintly.

"I heard that my third brother and sister are the best at making tea. I wonder if I am lucky enough to drink a cup of tea for my third brother and sister?" Qin asked with a smile.

Chen Danxia's eyes turned slightly and she smiled and said, "If my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, please go to my yard to sit. Second sister-in-law, should you go together?"

Wang smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have something to do in my room. I'll bother my third brother and sister next time."

Chen Danxia did not force her and led her maid back to the east room where the living room of Lingxiyuan was a remote living room. Chen Danxia knew very well that Qin came over, not to drink her tea, but to have something to say, so she ordered the maid to bring the tea in, and sat down opposite Qin, and smiled and said, "I just got married and didn't know anything. Fortunately, my sister-in-law was willing to come over to talk to me."

Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, slowly, you will know everything."

Chen Danxia smiled slightly.

Playing the piano brought the tea in.

"Is this the dowry maid brought by the third brother and sister from their parents' home?" Qin asked.

"Yes." Chen Danxia picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Qin's eyes flashed slightly and said, "This Lingxi Academy is much more spacious than the Danhuai Academy where my third brother lived."

Chen Danxia sipped the tea in small sips, waiting patiently for Qin to get to the point. Qin picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Danhuaiyuan called Qiaoping a few days ago to do things. It was picked out by his third brother himself."

Chen Danxia curled his lips and said with a smile: "The person who entered Danhuaiyuan to serve the third master, so it is natural that the third master can choose to suit his wishes."

"It was not her who was transferred to the house to do things. The third brother saw it in the garden that day, so he left her to serve her in the house." Qin Shi said to Chen Danxia.

"Is that true?" Chen Danxia curled the smile on her face. Qin wanted to make her angry, so she pretended to be angry first. Based on her understanding of Xu Lang, even if the maid was from Danhuaiyuan himself, she would never have such a meaning. Although she didn't know why Xu Lang did this, Chen Danxia was willing to believe him.

Qin Shi's lips curled up and said, "Oh, why did she talk about this? She's just a maid. Actually, it's nothing. Don't care about the third brother and sister, don't make trouble with her third brother for this."

"I don't care. I won't make a fuss with the Third Master." Chen Danxia said this, but his behavior was the opposite, and he placed the cup heavily on the couch.

Qin slapped her mouth lightly and said, "I really can't speak. Third brother and sister, don't mind."

"Thank you sister-in-law for telling me about this." Chen Danxia smiled and said.

"Just don't blame me for saying the wrong thing." Qin said with a fake smile.

The sisters-in-law said nothing else. After chatting about some other words, they reached the destination and said goodbye to the left. Chen Dan called the maid in to come in and wait for her to take off her makeup and change her clothes.

The morning had already rested. In order not to affect the night's sleep, Chen Danxia did not go to bed again, but went to the Dongqianyuan where the makeup box was placed and took her box money. Chen Danxia's box money was specially made by Tao, who asked someone to make it. It was all ten taels of small golden cakes, with auspicious patterns on both sides. As for the quantity, each box was held in four corners of the dowry, which were 120 yuan, and a full 480 yuan.

Chen Danxia took out all the gold cakes in the box and put them in a mahogany carved box. Half of them were installed, she couldn't hold them. So she struggled to carry half out of the yard, went back to the main room, went to the Donger room, opened the mahogany round corner cabinet placed there, moved the machine, opened the secret compartment inside, placed the gold cakes piece by piece, and then returned to the Dongqian yard to move the remaining gold cakes.

After half an hour, Chen Danxia finally moved all the golden cakes back to Donger's room and put them in. She was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist. She really didn't have the strength to put the rest of the things, and gave them all to Xi Pozi and Shi Qin.

Chen Danxia found the book she had read half of her words from the study and looked around on the couch. Although there was no cook in Lingxiyuan and he could not cook for Chen Danxia, ​​there was Mrs. Xu who loved her. At the beginning of Shen Shi, Bai Zhi, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Xu, carried the food box and brought three plates of exquisite pastries.
