The ancestor of the Zhang family has a total of three sons, and the current patriarch of the Zhang family is the eldest son of the ancestor of the Zhang family, and he married his wife Han, and the person who was called the Han steward was the dowry of the eldest wife Han.
The second wife's surname is Lin, the third wife's surname is Mei, and Dafang has two daughters-in-law and one son-in-law; The second room has the largest population, with two daughters and a pair of twin sisters-in-law; There are only three rooms, a son and a daughter.
Zhang Xiaohui is the daughter of the second wife, ranking second among the girls of the Zhang family's generation.
When a group of eight people stood in the courtyard waiting for the second lady's summons, Zhang Xiaohan recalled the Zhang family in his heart.
From the wide open door, you can see the second lady sitting on the main seat, and the steward who led a few of her people in stood aside and whispered something, Zhang Xiaohan only half raised his head and glanced at it and lowered his head, the so-called people are under the low eaves, Zhang Xiaohan doesn't want to be an unruly bird who is shot out of the head.
"Girls, come in and see the second miss."
The steward's voice was unexpectedly gentle.
All the people were half-raised with their heads, which had been trained, and when they entered the gate, they stood before and after, and then they knelt down and prostrated and saluted, and called slaves and maids.
In his previous life and present life, Zhang Xiaohan only knelt under his grandfather's knees, or after his grandfather's death, he knelt in front of his grandfather's spirit, but now, without half a day, he not only wants to kneel and kowtow to a little girl who is more than ten years old, but also call himself a slave.
Zhang Xiaohan's face was hot all of a sudden, and he scolded the storage bag he brought with him in his heart, and he didn't dare to violate it in the end, but he just comforted himself and said that he would be an actor and acting, but when he thought that the role of this slave didn't know how long he would have to be, it was really sad.
"Get up."
The second lady's voice still carried the childishness of a girl, and when she saw that these eight girls were kneeling in front of her, she laughed.
Mother said that these eight people will be their own people in the future, and they should make good use of them, and if they are used well, they will be able to help themselves in the future.
Thinking of her mother, the second lady Zhang Xiaohui straightened her body, put away the smile on her face, followed her mother's example, and said softly: "From today on, you are my Huixiangju, tell me your name and cultivation, and what have you learned in the outer courtyard." ” Deacon Mei in the outer courtyard has not explained this, everyone can't help but raise their heads, Zhang Xiaohan only feels that his eyes are bright: The girl sitting on the main seat in front of her is only twelve or thirteen years old, her eyebrows and eyes are extraordinarily beautiful, with a goose egg face, a full forehead, big eyes, hairy eyelashes, a straight nose, ruddy lips, and the beauty of a typical classical girl.
The girl at the beginning has already begun to introduce herself, nothing more than her name, age, cultivation, and literacy, and the same is true for the next people, Zhang Xiaohan listened to the introductions of several people, and had an idea in his heart.
The eight of them, to put it bluntly, are the dowries prepared for the second lady, just look at the age of being three or two years younger than the second lady, and you can understand, this is also a rule, didn't there be such a rule in ancient times in the previous life, before the wife gave birth to a child, the concubine was not allowed to give birth to a son and a half daughter.
Marriage, what has long been instilled is to be a concubine, or a furnace, whether a concubine or a furnace, she is a slave, and if she is a slave, she must follow the master and serve, and she must seek the welfare of the master.
Either you stand out among the slaves and maids and become the second lady's side, or you can have more opportunities to contact the outside, or you can wait for the opportunity, or you will honestly squint, not showing the mountains and water, pretending to be a pig, as for whether there is a chance to eat a tiger, you have to plan and move.
Zhang Xiaohan immediately chose the former for himself, he is not a person from this world at all, it is impossible to be a Zhang Qingjiu in peace, but whenever there is a little opportunity, he must leave here and leave this identity as a marryman.
When it was time for him, Zhang Xiaohan restrained the reluctance in his heart, and said in a proper manner: "The slave maid Zhang Qingjiu, ten years old, five spirit roots, the second layer of qi refining, in addition to literacy, also learned to play with flowers and plants with Deacon Mei of the Academy. ” Zhang Xiaohan's answer was decent and not made up.
Speaking of tending to flowers and plants, it is just to follow Deacon Mei, who opened a piece of land in the corner of the teaching and learning institute, which is not as big as a house, planted with annual herbs, and the girls in the outer courtyard have helped pull the grass and water it.
However, other girls didn't mention it, Zhang Xiaohan replied in a decent way, compared to a person with a heart, it suddenly showed something different, and this difference did not exceed anyone's bottom line, the second lady should be inspecting a few people now, and she only needs to express her heart.
Especially if this one is intentional or loyal, I will do more, I just want to do more things for the second lady, as long as I show this.
Sure enough, the second lady was attracted by Zhang Xiaohan's latter sentence, and let out a soft "oh", and looked at Zhang Xiaohan's eyes with some surprise.
Zhang Xiaohan half-raised his head, just in time to see the expression of the second miss.
The steward beside the second lady hurriedly whispered: "Miss, this girl is not sensible, where can she take care of flowers and plants, but she is just giving Deacon Mei a hand, watering or pulling weeds and catching insects." ” The second lady nodded with relief, but she still looked at Zhang Xiaohan twice, Zhang Xiaohan listened to the steward's reply, so she had to make a ashamed look, lowered her head, watered, pulled weeds, and caught insects, isn't it still to serve flowers and plants, is there any other rule for flowers and plants in this world to grow After all eight people answered, the second lady nodded and said, "That's good."
That's what praise means.
Then he looked at the crowd and said, "When you arrive at Huixiangju, the days are different from those in the correctional center, you have to learn a lot of things that you haven't learned before, and you will all have monthly rules in the future." ” Except for Zhang Xiaohan, everyone's eyes lit up, and they raised their heads eagerly, looking at the second miss with expectations on their faces.
The second lady looked at everyone's burning eyes with satisfaction, her mother was right, if you want them to do things for themselves, you have to promise a certain amount of temptation, she smiled slightly.
"Your future food, clothing, housing and transportation will be in my Huixiangju, and there will be a monthly case, but the monthly case is from my private property, do you know what private property is, it is not in the public, I took it out for you."
"Huixiangju originally had six rough girls, and now that there are eight of you, it's not enough to rely on the monthly rules given to me by the family, so, in my place, you have to learn a lot of things, you have to learn to do things, and if you do it well, you will naturally have more monthly rules than others, understand?"
