Chapter 137 Intentional Neglect
Ding Nianzi nodded slightly and motioned the maid to lead the way.
The layout of each yard in Hao Mansion is basically the same. Basically, each yard is divided into three or two parts. Except for the owners to live, occasionally do things in the house, or when guests come, you don't have to worry about having no place to live. The general architectural style is the same. Only the decorations in the room and the flowers and plants in the courtyard are arranged according to the hobbies of the masters.
Hao Ling's living needs have always been relatively simple, and he doesn't like a large group of people to serve him, so the East Courtyard is a little depressed and there are very few people. But there are also a lot of flowers and trees, and she hasn't had time to look at the rest carefully.
After she goes back this time, she should walk around the yard, especially to count the head of the East Courtyard, and who should do what job in which position, especially to distinguish clearly! For example, this time An Xin didn't notice that Qinglian and several people lived in the East Courtyard, it must not happen again!
There is no doubt that the people in the East Courtyard must have been bought by Aunt Shen. After all, four people lived in the East Courtyard, and Anxin may not be able to take care of it alone. Didn't the others in the East Courtyard see it? Naturally, I don't want to offend Aunt Shen and hide it from her.
While thinking about what he will do when he goes back, Ding Page carefully looks at the style of the South Courtyard, which is generous and elegant, not very extravagant and presumptuous. It seems that Aunt Shen's nature is more or less quite stable. She is not the kind of person who likes to show everything on the surface. In this way, it seems that she also has some masters and mothers. The demeanor.
At the door, a maid put a curtain on Ding Paozi. When she went in, Aunt Shen was sitting on the couch in the room, holding a tea cup in one hand and leisurely tasting tea, and there were two little maids beating her legs beside her.
Seeing this scene, Ding Xiaozi couldn't help slandering in his heart. After all, he was the rich lady of the big house. This little life was a pleasant life.
"Speak to my aunt on the page." Ding Yizi saluted Aunt Shen respectfully and politely.
Aunt Shen continued to taste the tea in the tea cup with a blank face. It seemed that she didn't hear Ding Yizi's invitation, so she let her half squat there.
Ding's page was delayed for two seconds. He looked up at Aunt Shen in surprise. Seeing that she didn't even look at herself, he realized it. It turned out that I didn't give her a majesty in front of Master Hao just now, because they were waiting for her here.
She was hesitating about what to do. She wanted to continue to squat down and wait for Aunt Shen to wake her up, or stood up arrogantly. If it is the latter, there is no need to be angry, but it is inevitable that she will fall into trouble with Aunt Shen. She can't say that she has to sue Master Hao for her disrespect.
"Madam, Mama Li is here." Xiao Ju suddenly came in and said.
Aunt Shen looked up at Xiaoju and nodded, "Let her in."
"Yes." Xiaoju hurried out to call Mother Li, but she didn't even look at the page that was still squatting there.
Ding's legs were sore, but he didn't want to put a handle in Aunt Shen's hand like this. He could only hold on. Just as he was about to say hi again loudly, Mother Li in Xiaoju's mouth had already come in and blocked her to her throat for a moment.
"Mrs. Hui, Xia Zhu..." Mother Li looked at Aunt Shen eagerly.
Aunt Shen frowned impatiently, "What's wrong? Didn't you ask you to sell her earlier? Why are you still linger?"
Mama Li said, "Madam, it's not that the old slave doesn't do anything, it's the girl Xia Zhu who installed the wall!"
Aunt Shen didn't hear it, and asked in a faint tone, "Oh? How's it going? Are you dead? If you go, give her a straw mat and send someone to bury it.
M Mother Li said, "I'm not dead. I just hit my brain. My consciousness is a little unclear. I always talk nonsense and have to say that I want to get justice from my master."
"Huh..." Aunt Shen sneered, smashed the tea cup in her hand on the table with a bang, and frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is it possible that you see her pitiful and don't know how to shut her up?
Mama Li panicked when she heard the words. She hurriedly knelt to the ground and explained repeatedly, "Madam, I didn't mean that. It's just that Xia Zhu's girl was too strong. The old slave and Qiu Yun couldn't hold her, and almost let her run out."
Aunt Shen waved her hand impatiently and said coldly, "Go and deal with it quickly. If I see her again, don't stay in Hao's house!"
M Mother Li's nerves tightened, and she hurriedly retreated.
Ding Yizi listened to the conversation between Aunt Shen and Mother Li in a daze. What's wrong with Xia Zhu? Is it possible that this is also the power given to her by Aunt Shen? But she really doesn't understand what that has to do with her. If not, she doesn't need to deal with people in front of her, does she?
Ding Yizi endured the soreness of his legs and said, "Auntie..."
Ding Page deliberately shouted loudly this time, but he didn't believe that Aunt Shen pretended not to hear it! If she can't pretend to hear it anymore, then she doesn't have to pretend! Humph... Anyway, it's not her serious mother-in-law, and it doesn't matter if she offends her, as long as she doesn't go too much.
Aunt Shen reluctantly looked at Ding Page, pulled a smile at the corners of her mouth, and said with a faint smile, "It's the page. Why are you still squatting? Get up quickly and sit here."
As she spoke, Aunt Shen patted the position beside her, motioned Ding Shizi to sit next to her, and frowned at Shen's mother and said, "You are really true. The page came earlier. Why didn't you call me? I'm still thinking about it."
Mother Shen did not answer Aunt Shen's question, but said, "Madam, it's time for the young lady to give you tea."
Ding Yizi frowned. Shen's mother said so. It wouldn't be good if she really sat there. Hao Ling is not here, and she doesn't know if it's the big family's rules. After giving tea to her parents-in-law outside, she will listen to her mother-in-law's admonishment again. After thinking about it, she continues to stand in front of Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen nodded confusedly and looked at Ding's page with a light smile.
Cuizhi quickly brought a cup of tea and respectfully sent it to Ding Yizi, asking her to toast tea to Aunt Shen.
Ding Yizi had to take up the tea cup on the tea plate again, half squatted, respectfully handed the tea to Aunt Shen, and said, "Auntie, please have tea."
Aunt Shen frowned slightly for a moment, but soon unfolded. She took the tea cup handed over by Ding Page, took a sip and said, "Page, you also know what's going on in this house. My sister has been dead for many years, and there is no heroine in the house, which is what I have been holding on. Now that you have married into Hao's mansion, it's time for me to give you some burdens. It's just that there are some things I want to say in front of me. Haofu is no better than a small family in the market. There are a lot of chores in the house every day, and all parties have to look at it more. No omission is not good.
"Hao Ling is not in good condition these days. You can wait for him first. When he is better, I will hand over the affairs of the house to you, okay?"
Aunt Shen's words are reasonable, and Ding Yizi can't refute her no, so he nods and said, "Just listen to my aunt's orders."
Maybe it's because Ding's page is too smooth. Aunt Shen's face smiled a little more. She reached out and pulled Ding Page to let her sit next to her, rub her hand and sighed, "After all, it's a child from a bitter family. This hand is very thick."
Ding Xiaozi smiled carelessly and said, "It's okay. Just raise more at ordinary times. After all, my aunt's hand is very delicate, but it is enviable.
"Real? Although my hands are thin, in fact, I spend a lot of brains every day. There are too many complicated things. Sometimes I'm really busy and have a headache! What happened just now also made you laugh. Xia Zhuyuan was a maid in my yard. Unexpectedly, I wanted to climb onto the master's bed while I was unprepared. Tell me, how can I spare her? It's really the opposite."
Ding's page raised her eyebrows slightly. Such a maid should indeed be sold. This wind can't last long!
Turning his mind, Ding remembered a few maids in the East Courtyard, so he smiled and said to Aunt Shen, "I also think so. Some atmosphere can't last. If you really meet this kind of maid, you should sell it directly, so as not to get in the way."
There is something in Ding's words. How can't Aunt Shen hear it?
"Yes, this kind of maid should be sold, but those who were arranged earlier are another statement. Page, look at your thick hands, how can you serve the young master? For the sake of the young master and for your sake, I chose two maids for the young master earlier to serve him with you. Those two girls are both their own girls. They are only allowed to be all-in-house girls first. If anyone is pregnant, it's not too late to raise them. Do you think it's okay?
The issue of principle cannot be discussed!
Although Ding Page did not show indignation, he said, "Auntie, there have been few maids in the East Courtyard, and it's good to have more, but Hao Ling is still sick now, and I'm afraid there is no need for a maid in the house. Besides, even if there is one, Hao Ling has to give a meaning, right? I think those maids are used as ordinary maids. What do you think?
Aunt Shen took Ding's hand and patted the page with a smile and said, "Page, I know what you mean. After all, you and Hao Ling have just got married, and this time you stuffed two maids. You must be unhappy, but you have to know that these things will be accepted sooner or later! Instead of letting Hao Ling find it by himself and let him find someone he agrees to threaten your status, why not use what his aunt gave him? After all, you know the bottom and can't turn over any big waves. Do you think it's true or not?
Ding Yizi looked at Aunt Shen with a smile and said, "I'm afraid my aunt was scared, right? Qinglian looks good. Zishuang is not a worry-free person.
