Chapter 92: Two Maids
Jia Yun's residence, Mingshifang, Dongcheng, Kyoto.
Jia Yun returned to his mansion after reporting his duties to the emperor. After all, the emperor had said that he would be raised for two days. In this case, it was natural for him to return to his mansion to rest.
As for the Arch Guard, there is no rush, and it will not be too late to go after the vacation is over.
The scale of Jia Yun's residence is relatively small, but after all, it was originally Wu Xun's residence, and the layout still follows the style of many nobles.
There are also corner gates on both sides of the stone lion gate, and you usually enter and exit through the corner gate.
To the right after entering through the East Corner Gate is the stable and carriage yard, which are separated by a white wall with green tile eaves along the barrel ridge. A row of green sandalwood trees more than one foot high is planted outside, and an arched gate allows entry and exit.
Car yard, if you want to go out and set up your car, this is the place.
Although Jia Yun always travels alone and does not need a carriage, his family will still need it in the future, so he will not abandon it.
After Jia Yun handed over the horse to the servant, he entered the inner house through the west corner gate.
After entering from the west corner door, there is a side room, which is a temporary resting place for the servants who are on duty at night. Behind it is a double wooden door.
The front door is a stone's throw away from the Yimen. After entering, you will enter the second courtyard. Directly opposite is the hall. There is a warm pavilion behind the main hall. Passing through the warm pavilion is the inner hall.
This inner hall is the main hall, and ordinary servants are generally not allowed to enter the inner hall casually. Nowadays, only Jia Yun and those who are responsible for cleaning can enter the mansion. Others can only go around through the small doors on both sides of the inner hall.
Further back is the third courtyard. There is a passage next to the inner Yimen, which can lead directly to the inner courtyard on the right. Jia Yun's courtyard is here.
"What did I tell you? How many times have I told you to be careful? Do you have cotton stuffed in your ears?"
A clear voice was scolding someone in the courtyard, speaking harshly.
"Hey, Qingwen, I heard you yelling when I came back? You are very capable."
Qingwen was teaching the maids below when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She turned around in surprise and saw Jia Yun, wearing a long-sleeved green robe, looking at them with a half-smile.
"Master, you are back." Qingwen shouted in surprise.
Jia Yun looked at Qingwen who turned around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Even though Jia Yun was very familiar with Qingwen, when he saw the girl's face again, Jia Yun couldn't help but admire. It seemed that he hadn't seen her for a month. This little girl's face
Her charm is becoming more and more mature.
She has a slim waist, slim shoulders, a tall figure, a jade orchid grass skirt, a double bun with a slanted comb, a slender waist with a shallow belt, and slim feet wrapped in thread shoes. Coupled with her charming peach blossom eyes, she is really a little beauty.
Qingwen trotted in front of Jia Yun and almost jumped into Jia Yun's arms, but soon realized something. She shrugged her nose arrogantly and hugged her right ribs with both hands.
Said: "May you be blessed with good fortune and good health."
Seeing Qingwen's serious look, Jia Yun found it funny and couldn't help but want to grab her straight nose. Qingwen seemed to have expected that Jia Yun would act like this, so she took a step back with a cold face.
He said: "Please be more respectful. Although I am despised, I am still..."
"Ah..." Qingwen's cheeks tightened, and she immediately screamed, "Master, please let go quickly, it hurts."
Jia Yun pinched Qingwen's face with his right hand and lifted it up, laughing and scolding: "You girl, do you still know what respect is? You usually yell and scream, but the whole yard is full of your training voice. It's so unruly.
, when the mistress comes into the house in the future, you will definitely suffer a loss."
"I wish you good luck." Jia Yun was punishing Qingwen when another maid, Xiang Ling, timidly came over and saluted softly.
Her lips are reddish-red, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, and her slanted double bun is the same as Qingwen's. Her body shape is not inferior to Qingwen's, and her appearance is more charming, especially the rouge mark on her eyebrows, which adds a touch of charm.
Jia Yun nodded and let go of the hand holding Qingwen's face. Qingwen took a breath, ignoring the heat on her cheeks, and asked hurriedly: "Master, do you mean mistress?"
Jia Yun just said something about the mistress. Qingwen should remember it in her heart. The mistress is in charge of the back house, which is a big deal for her.
Although I was not happy to be "assigned" to Jia Yun at first, after getting along with her, I felt that Jia Yun was a very good-tempered person, and I had already let go. If not for this, when Jia Yun asked her before leaving the house, she Qingwen
It shouldn't be done.
Nowadays, no one in this mansion thinks that she is the future aunt. Even Qingwen herself thinks that she will definitely be the aunt in the mansion from now on. When the future mistress comes in, if she wants to become the aunt, she has to give her nod.
Yes, how could Qingwen not be interested in her?
Jia Yun looked at Qingwen's nervous look and found it funny, and said: "It won't be so early, but it has been decided that it will be Lin Daiyu, the girl from the Lin family."
After all, Qingwen and Xiangling are Jia Yun's personal maids, so they need to be told who their future mistress is so that they can be mentally prepared.
"Isn't that Miss Lin?" Qingwen asked in surprise, and Xiangling on the side was also very surprised.
Regarding Qingwen and Xiangling's surprise, Jia Yun knew it well. They were both people who had stayed in Jia's house, so how could they not know the inside story? Especially Qingwen, who had stayed with Jia's mother, so she naturally knew better.
There are many fragrant lings, so Jia Mu deliberately betrothed Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu...
Jia Yun nodded and said: "It's Aunt Lin. I went to Yangzhou on business. It was decided by Aunt Lin personally. From now on, Aunt Lin will be your mistress."
"My slaves understand." Qingwen and Xiangling responded.
Seeing that the two people agreed, Jia Yun stretched out his hands, twisted their cheeks, and joked: "You have to serve your mistress well in the future. If you offend your mistress, you will be in trouble."
I'm afraid I'll either get scolded or be punished to clean the toilet every day, and if I don't succeed, I'll be pulled out and given a boy..."
There was nothing wrong with the two of them in the first two sentences, but the last sentence about being dragged out to match the boy made a look of fear pass over Xiangling's face, a timid look, but Qingwen, on the other hand, forced herself to raise her eyebrows and said:
"In the future, if grandma doesn't like the slave and wants to drive the slave out of the house, the slave will be bumped to death..."
When Jia Yun heard this, he was secretly satisfied. He could indulge Qingwen because he appreciated Qingwen's fierce temper.
"Oh? There's no need to drive you out of the house. If grandma doesn't like you, it's up to me to let you work in the back room."
The back room is the collective name for those responsible for washing, cleaning, and chores. These tasks are all handed over to the maids below.
Listening to Jia Yun's heartless words, Qingwen's eyes turned red. She held back her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "Just go, it's not like I can't do those jobs."
As if she was still angry, Qingwen continued: "If I don't like this slave, I will go to the back room today to avoid disturbing my eyes."
Looking at Qingwen's stubborn look, Jia Yun chuckled. Seeing this, Qingwen raised her eyebrows, sobbed and said angrily: "What do you mean?"
Jia Yun said gently: "You are so handsome, of course I would be reluctant to let you go to the back room."
Qingwen's face lit up when she heard this, and she felt happy in her heart, but then she looked shy.
Jia Yun looked at Qingwen's appearance. During his trip to Yangzhou, he had carefully observed Lin Daiyu. Indeed, as the original book said, Qingwen's eyebrows and eyes resembled those of Daiyu, with two curved willow eyebrows and a pair of almond eyes, making her look delicate and charming.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun said: "Don't be impatient in doing things in the future. I can indulge you, but my mistress will not."
Jia Yun was affected by his previous life and was very happy about Qingwen's escape. However, others may not like Qingwen's temperament. If Qingwen breaks out, it will be difficult to deal with it, so he reminds Qingwen.
"Yes... I understand, my slave." Qingwen responded in a low voice, obviously her previous comforting words had an effect.
Jia Yun still knows Qingwen's temperament. Although she responds readily at this moment, she will become stern again when it comes to the end.
But it's still early, so there's no need to overdo it, and Lin Daiyu is not that stingy.
After a pause, Jia Yun turned his head and looked at Xiang Ling, who had lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. This girl was surprisingly quiet. She just twisted her skirt with her hands. It was probably Jia Yun's previous words that scared Xiang Ling.
"Xiang Ling, don't worry, Aunt Lin will definitely like you. Even if Aunt Lin doesn't like you, I won't let you mate with a boy."
Although Jia Yun doesn't remember much of the original work, it seems that in the original work Lin Daiyu taught Xiang Ling to learn poetry, and she obviously liked Xiang Ling.
Jia Yun's words were like a stream of sweet rain pouring into the already timid girl's heart. Xiangling pursed her lips tightly and responded: "I thank you, I will follow you from now on. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."
Xiangling had been sold back and forth in the past, and now that she had finally found a place, she naturally didn't want to be kicked out again.
Hearing this, Jia Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out and scratched Xiangling's nose, and said with a smile: "It's okay to be a cow, but it's not bad to be a horse..."
Xiangling was stunned for a while, then raised her eyes and looked at Jia Yun doubtfully, wondering what Jia Yun meant.
Jia Yun didn't want to explain. Now that these two lovely people were by Jia Yun's side, Jia Yun would naturally not be polite.
"Unfair." Qingwen muttered at the side.
Jia Yun treated Qingwen in a playful and teasing way, but he treated Xiangling in a gentle manner. This different way of treating her made Qingwen very jealous.
"Okay, okay, you have your business everywhere, your sharp mouth will be broken sooner or later." Jia Yun reached out and poked Qingwen's face, joking.
Qingwen snorted coldly and muttered: "You know how to bully others."
Jia Yun was too lazy to pay attention to Qingwen and said: "I am happy today, so I will give each of you two months' worth of regular money."
When the maids on the side heard this, they hurriedly said, "I thank you for the reward."
Jia Yun nodded, and then told Qingwen: "Go and tell the kitchen to cook some exquisite dishes and prepare fine wine. I want to have a drink."
I am very happy today and all my shackles have been lifted, so I naturally have to celebrate well.
Qingwen saw that Jia Yun's face was full of joy since he was admitted to the hospital, and he was even more happy to joke with them. She knew that Jia Yun was in a good mood, so she responded: "I will go right now."
Xiang Ling on the side said: "I will go and sit in the room, and my servant will go and fetch water for me."
After saying that, the two lovely maids went about their business.
Jia Yun looked at the two beautiful figures and sighed in his heart: "The soul has traveled through ancient times, and having a beautiful maid by your side is really a joy in life. It's a pity that it's a little small..."
