I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

After that scene that couldn't be more fake, everyone was not very interested in eating at dinner—others Anise didn't know, but she herself was really disgusted and lost her appetite.

After dinner, the whole group left the old lady's yard. Anise was sent back to the east wing by Zisu herself. As soon as she left the main room, she could see the candlelight shining from the east wing.

As soon as Zisu delivered Anise to the door of the East Wing, Banxia opened the curtain to welcome her out, "Young lady is back." Then she smiled and said to Zisu, "Thank you sister Zisu for sending our girl back." After changing the title, she really considers herself to be Huiniang's maid.

"It's part of my job." Zisu nodded politely, and declined Animiang's invitation to let her in to drink tea, "The old lady has a lot of things to do, so I have to go and take care of her. Come on and bother the second girl someday when I have free time." "Although there was a hint of arrogance, Zisu's response was remarkable.

Hui Niang brought Pinellia into the East Wing, where the complete set of tables, chairs and cages had already been arranged, and there were even some bottles and cans on the shelf, which should have been moved here today.Aniel was noncommittal about how well the interior of the house was furnished, so she went straight into the inner room on the north side—that was her bedroom.

There is a plum blossom table in the middle of the bedroom, which is slightly smaller than the one in the Xili room of the old lady's house.Hui Niang was sitting at the table, looking at Banxia, ​​"Sister Banxia has worked hard today." She remembered that Banxia was a few years older than her, and she was 16 years old this year.

Ban Xia was taken aback, then lowered her head, "It's what slaves should do."

After going back and forth, it seemed that both master and servant had nothing to say.Ban Xia stood for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Girl, Housekeeper Zou's daughter is waiting in the ear room, and the servant brought her in to show the girl?"

"Okay." Anise nodded.She was also a little curious about the daughter of Butler Zou who hadn't appeared by her side in the previous life.

Ban Xia turned and went out, and brought a pretty little girl in after a while, "Girl, this is Housekeeper Zou's daughter, her name is..." She dragged her voice slightly and looked at the little girl.

"Returning to the girl, the maidservant's name is Dachun." The person is very straightforward, but the name is a bit vulgar.

Hui Niang was hesitating, Ban Xia walked up to her and reminded her softly, "All the maids in the mansion are named after herbs."

These words immediately reminded Anise that medicinal materials are abundant in the Northwest, and there are many people in the Qin Family Village who are engaged in the business of medicinal materials. Naturally, Anise is no stranger to medicinal materials.She saw that Dachun was wearing a yellow dress with the word "chun" in his name... "Is there anyone in the house named 'Forsythia'?" she asked Banxia.

Ban Xia tilted her head and thought for a while, then answered firmly: "There is no one called Forsythia in the mansion."

Hui Niang nodded, and looked at Dachun with a smile, "From now on, you will be called Lianqiao—the original name is not bad, but it is different from other people in the mansion. I am new here, so I dare not Suddenly, the rules were changed."

Housekeeper Zou's daughter, who had studied for a few months before becoming an errand, naturally knew the rules in the mansion, so she knelt down quickly, "Thank you, miss, for giving me your name."

After deciding on a new name, Dachun—now called Lianqiao—is another maid in Auntie's room.Ban Xia took her out again and asked her to go to the yard and ask the two little maids to go to the kitchen to bring hot water together.There are only two big maids in Hui Niang's room, and the young maids are not complete yet, so she can only use the young maids in the old lady's yard to do some chores.

Forsythia agreed to go, Ban Xia turned and came in, and asked Hui Niang, "Girl, the hot water will take a while to come, why don't you read a book first? Or do some sewing?" These two suggestions are all out of good intentions. Firstly, I am afraid that Anise will be bored waiting in the house, and secondly, because these two things are all "serious things" that every lady should diligently practice in the eyes of the old lady.

Needless to say embroidery, in the old lady’s opinion, it is also very important to teach her granddaughters to read – she does not dream of a talented girl in the family, but the old lady thinks that their family of poetry and books is heirloom, and the daughter she teaches is also very important. Can't lose elegance.

Therefore, Funiang is always reading this collection of poems in the old lady's room.But in fact, in two lives, Hui Niang never saw her eldest sister write a poem.

"Ban Xia." Before Hui Niang could answer, Zisu's voice came from the door of the wing room again.Hui Niang was sitting in the middle, and she could only see the back of Ban Xia through the door opening, but the conversation between the two outside could faintly be heard in her ears.

"Banxia, ​​the old lady asked me to send some money to the second girl." After hearing this, Banxia led Zisu into the inner room. Zisu held a wooden box in her arms. The wood was good, and it was carved with patterns of flowers, plants and insects. "Second girl, this month's monthly bill has already been issued. The money is pocket money that the old lady asked me to send to you alone. Next month, you can receive the monthly bill with other girls."

Hui Niang waved her hand with a smile, letting Banxia take the box and put it aside, she didn't look at the box from the corner of her eyes at all, she just looked at Zisu with a smile, "Sister Zisu, please thank grandma for me. "

The two exchanged a few more polite greetings with a smile, and Banxia sent Zisu out of the east wing in person.After a while, Pinellia came in again, and Hui Niang greeted her with a smile, "Open that box and have a look." When Hui Niang was in her hometown, the children in Qin Mengzhang's family had no pocket money—there was no money in the village either. If there is anything you want to buy, you can tell Mrs. Zou, and ask Mrs. Zou to buy it.Occasionally, when the eldest cousin Qin Jiahong went to the county town with the elders in the village, the Zou family would give him some money, but not much.None of their brothers and sisters had private money.

Of course, in the previous life, Hui Niang also received a monthly payment from the Qin family, but after all, it has been a few years since she was reborn, and she was a little excited to receive private money again.

"Open it and have a look." She urged with a smile, but she was not as restrained as she was during the day.

Ban Xia also relaxed, the master and servant gathered around the wooden box, Ban Xia opened the lid of the box, and there were eight broken silver ingots inside, each of which was about the same size, Ban Xia picked one up and weighed it, about one or two .In addition to the broken silver ingots, there are also two big copper coins, which can be used as rewards and distributed to those little maids who help with things.Eight silver ingots plus two coins are worth about ten taels of silver in total.

Hui Niang vaguely remembered that when she was in the Qin family in her last life, she had a monthly allowance of four taels of silver—out of the girls in the Shangshu Mansion, only she and Zhi Niang could receive a monthly allowance of four taels of silver, and the rest of the concubine The girls here are only three or two.Of course, even if the two young masters were concubines, they would receive much more money than them.

Of course, for Fu Niang and Zhi Niang, they can still receive some extra subsidies from the old lady or Wei Shi every month. Yue will also subsidize her with an extra tael of silver, and there will be other generous rewards during the holidays or when the old lady is in a good mood.However, generally speaking, at that time, Hui Niang could receive a total of five taels of silver per month.

But now, the old lady gave money for the first time, which was equivalent to giving her two months' money directly. It was not generous, but it was not stingy either.

After all, for the current Anise, this is a lot of money.

"Put the box away." She smiled and said to Ban Xia, "Take out some money and put it somewhere easy to take, and I will take care of the rest." Hui Niang thought to herself that besides giving away reward money, she usually There is no place to spend money, and she can rest assured that the money will be handed over to Banxia.

After a while, Lianqiao came in with a little maid to bring hot water, Banxia smiled and gave the reward, and Lianqiao and Lianqiao helped Hui Niang to wash.At night, Pinellia kept vigil. There was no kang in the east wing, and Anise slept on the bed, so Pinellia could only sleep on the floor.

"It's going to be cold." Hui Niang couldn't bear it, but it's not good for a servant to sleep on the same bed with the master.Lian Qiao interrupted at the right time, "I see there is a small couch in the room over there, Sister Ban Xia may be able to sleep on it."

Hui Niang thought about it, in her previous life she lived in the Eastern Side Courtyard, and there was a small couch in the bedroom, and Ban Xia stayed with her on that couch for several years.Thinking of the past, her brows and eyes were stained with embarrassment, but she also acquiesced to Lianqiao's proposal, "Move that couch in, if you two can't move it, call two little maids to come in and help."

The couch on the other side of the room was also glanced at by Anniang when she came in. Although it was not big, it was not something two girls in their teens could easily move.In the end, Lianqiao called the little maid who had just gone to the kitchen with her to fetch water to come in and help her, and they moved the small couch to Huiniang's bedroom, and put it under the window.

The two little maids each received a lot of rewards just now, and now they got another sum, and they got a total of more than 100 yuan in one night. They both smiled and said auspicious words.

After tidying up, Lian Qiao also went to rest in the side room, only Anise and Pinellia were left in the house, the master and the servants had a new sleeping environment, some couldn't sleep.

Hui Niang was lying on the bed tossing and turning to get sleepy, Ban Xia always thought she had something to do when she heard the sound of her turning over, and asked her with concern from time to time: "Miss, do you want some water?" "Miss, do you want to use a bucket?"

After deliberating for a long time, it was unsuccessful, so Animiang took the initiative to chat with Banxia, ​​"Grandmother said, let me go to school with my sisters tomorrow, Banxia, ​​can you tell me about the school at home?"

"Okay." Ban Xia responded with a smile, and said softly: "The yard where the girls go to school is behind the yard of Aunt Liu. It is only a short way from the back door of the old lady's yard. There are two female gentlemen, one They teach reading and writing, and one teaches embroidery. The two gentlemen usually live in the courtyard. The courtyard is next to the mansion wall, and there is a small corner door outside, which is specially convenient for the two gentlemen to come in and out. According to the elder girl, the two gentlemen both She is very kind and won't embarrass others, the girl can rest assured..."

During Ban Xia's slow narration, Hui Niang yawned a little, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.
