Chapter 8

Seeing this, Qingliu stepped forward and said, "it's really late today. Tomorrow I'll go to my wife's yard and find a bookshelf to carry these books."

Mammy Zhang waved her hand and said, "no, these are not what girls often look at. They are all received in the small warehouse. Take time to air them."

After hearing this, Qingliu did not retort, but said in a soft voice, "in that case, I think things are pretty reasonable. Mammy's all the way is hard work. Why don't you take a bath first to relieve your fatigue? We are here

Mammy Zhang turned her stiff neck. She was really tired after sitting in the carriage these days. She was a little old, so she asked a few words and went to have a rest.

After a while, Fang Xinsu came back after washing. Because her hair was still wet, she was not in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, she sat in front of the window dressing table and read a book.

Light Liu brought a tray in, put it on the small round table in the inner room, said with a smile, "this is the sugar steamed crisp cheese just sent by the eldest lady. Would you like to try it, girl?"

Fang Xinsu put down the book in his hand and looked at a palm sized lotus bowl with azure glaze in Ru kiln in the wooden tray. There were some white things in it, and some raisins and walnuts were sprinkled on it. I can't help asking, "what is this made of?"

"It's made of milk, sweet rice wine and sugar."

Fang Xinsu nodded. Although she didn't know what the taste was like, her big cousin sent it to me. It was not very good not to eat it. She picked up the spoon, carefully scooped a mouthful to her mouth, the taste is rare silky, mouth melt, some light milk and sweet, no milk smell. At the dinner party just now, she didn't eat much, and her stomach was empty. Now she ate up the whole bowl of crisp cheese.

After eating, Qingliu served her to rinse her mouth again, and said with a smile, "the big girl said that she wants to eat this every day. Since the girl likes it, she should make an extra bowl and send it to me every day."

Fang Xinsu frowned slightly. "If so, would it be too much trouble for my cousin?"

"No problem, it's just a matter of one sentence. When you do it in a small kitchen, you always do more. The other girls are not used to the taste. If you don't eat, it's just cheap for us. " Liu said with a smile.

Fang Xinsu saw that Liu's words were clear-cut and well advanced. He said with a smile, "in this way, I'm partial to my cousin's good things. Our younger sister and younger brother are new comers. Some rules are not very clear. I hope elder sister Qingliu can give us more advice in the future. "

"You're so polite, you can't be such a girl. Besides, both the girl and the young master are smart. How can I help you? It's just that the people in this house are a little familiar with each other. I can talk to the girl about some things in private. "

Fang Xinsu said with a smile, "in that case, I'm not polite. You first tell the masters of the house that I have a number in mind. "

Seeing Fang Xinsu's understanding, Qingliu carefully talked about everyone's temperament, hobbies and various relationships in the house, from the old lady to the girls, aunts and even the big servant girls around them.

Fang Xinsu is very transparent. After a few words, she has already understood more than half of what she wants to do in the future.

After Fang Xinsu went to sleep, Qingliu went back to his room. She divided a room by herself. When she got back to the room, she opened the purse given by Fang Xinsu. Just now, she felt it round and didn't know what it was. When she opened it, she found that there were several lotus seed sized pearls inside. Such a large pearl, willow also had a few, but these beads even exude a pink purple luster, which is very rare.

Qingliu carefully put the beads away, washed a little and then lay down to sleep. Today, she was busy all day, and she was a little sleepy. With Qingliu's suggestion, Fang Xinsu's sister and brother really quickly integrated into the life of Hou Fu. They usually have a lot of influence on the people of Hou Fu. For example, Qingliu's maids in the Marquis's house receive double monthly payments every month, and they usually give their servants rich rewards.

Originally, those maids who didn't want to come to di Cui Zhai to serve all destroyed their intestines. I had known that cousin would be rich. It's just that money is hard to buy. I knew that

Shen Cang hears from the servant that the girl and master are both rich. He can't help thinking carefully. At the sight of Fang Xinsu that day, Shen Cang was killed by her beauty. Han's rules are strict. As long as a man enters two doors, at least two or three women will follow him. He can't get close to where the girls live.

These days, he didn't even step out of the house. He just tried to please Fang Xinjian at home, because Fang Xinjian and her sister are similar. Now it's said that this cousin is not only beautiful but also rich. Shen Cang can't help but have the idea of Fang Xinsu. If he could marry his cousin, wouldn't he have both beauty and silver?

What's the best way to do it?

Before Shen Cang could come up with a way, the good news came from the mansion that the Marquis had won the battle in the southwest coast. He would attack the Jinsha kingdom in the Dakang Dynasty and capture all the princes of the Jinhua Kingdom alive. Now he is going back to the court! As a result of the victory, the government will be elated.

After getting the news, the guests who came to congratulate didn't know how many.

As the loyal Marquis has not yet returned, most of the people who came here were Gao Ming's wives. Naturally, these people were received by the Han family in person. Han also had to be a housekeeper, a council member, a guest of honor, and to organize things to welcome her husband back. So she left some of the housework to several girls. She said, "girls are old, and they should learn how to be a housekeeper. After all, this is the most important thing in their daughter's family. Other poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just small skills for entertainment, not mainstream. "

After coming to Hou's house, Fang Xinsu and other cousins went to school together in boudoir school. In the morning, they learned some poems and articles, and in the afternoon, they practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Now, as soon as Mrs. Hou spoke, she suspended their boudoir study, and even the youngest Shen Xiang was assigned a task. Compared with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, housekeeper, director and human relations are the most important courses for a lady from a big family.

Shen Tian is in charge of the big kitchen, Fang Xinsu is in charge of the master's sewing room, Shen Xiang is in charge of the parts of each room, Shen Ying is in charge of the furnishings, and Shen Lian is in charge of the chores.

Han ordered people to clean up the Tonghua Pavilion, which is nearest to the second gate, to deal with the affairs of the girls, and then sent mother Qi to take charge. The girls arrive here every day and leave at the beginning of the afternoon.

In this way, if there is anything, we can get together quickly and have a place to discuss. Although there are some minor omissions occasionally, nothing serious has happened.
