Chapter 585 Ninth Young Master When Will He Come Back?
Ming Xin didn't respond and just said: "Girl, please wash up first."
They still have a lot of things to do. Besides, even if they can go to rest, they can't all leave. There's not even a waiter in the yard.
She was going to check the dowry booklet later and match the items to avoid making any mistakes. Thinking of this, Mingxin felt as if her brain suddenly grew into three sizes, and she missed Mingjing very much.
With such a rough temperament, it was very rare for her to be able to read by chance, but she was worried that she was asked to do such a detailed job, and it was not enough even if she didn't do it.
Ming Xin left the main room and then went to the west wing. At this moment, several girls who came with her were gathered here, chattering.
"There was originally no one in this Spring Garden. There was only a doorkeeper, Mrs. Dong, and two maids who boiled water and swept the house."
"There are people specially assigned to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard."
"I heard that a cook will be arranged to come over to the Kitchen Garden in the future." Honghua inquired about this news. Today she went to the Kitchen Garden, and some people were already asking about the taste of their master.
The mansion of Rong Guogong is very large, and the masters have no intention of getting together to eat every day. After all, the tastes are different. Therefore, only on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the younger generation will go to Mulan Garden to accompany the elders for evening meals. The rest of the time is spent in
Eat in your own yard.
But the place is big, and the food is too cold when delivered from the kitchen garden to each yard, especially in winter, and it is difficult to eat. Therefore, each yard has a small kitchen for the owner of the small yard to eat, and a cook will also be arranged.
come over.
Rong Ci used to live alone in Chuntingyuan and had no requirements for food. He even went directly to the kitchen garden to eat before going back, so there was no cook in the yard.
There are currently five cooks in the kitchen garden, three of them are cooks, and they are all staring at this position.
"The girl has a lighter taste and likes to eat cakes, soups and the like. I think the cook named Ding is good." Honghua said, "I have seen the cakes she makes. The patterns are good and the craftsmanship is also good.
"
"Then I'll settle for Chef Ding."
A group of girls gathered together to discuss and chatter. Mingxin felt it was a little noisy, so she found a place to sit down and think about a problem.
Mr. Jiu likes peace, and girls also like peace. In the future, there will be Mrs. Dong as the gatekeeper, two maids for cleaning and boiling water, and there will also be a cook in the kitchen. So what will they do?
Although the girl is kind and treats them very well, she never cares for idlers.
Although the people in the courtyard are not as easy to use as their own people, and it is okay to rearrange things for these three people, Mingxin knows that it is better to keep a mother-in-law and two servants in the courtyard than three little girls.
many.
Seeing that they were still discussing, Ming Xin coughed lightly, straightened her body, and then said: "Let's wait for the girl to make the decision on this matter. If you are fine, just go and have a rest. Black Tea and I can stay here."
The four of them nodded upon hearing this and left obediently.
Mingxin sighed with a headache.
Hongcha didn't understand why: "What are you sighing for? Today is a great day for the girl, she should be happy."
Ming Xin said: "I sighed because I was wondering if there are too many people serving in our yard. It is not a good thing to raise idle people. Do they have any worthy contribution? If we let them go, something might happen."
Hongcha paused slightly: "Isn't there still a small workshop? Just let them work in the small workshop."
Ming Xin said: "It used to be okay. The girl lived alone in the yard, and it was good to have a small workshop in the back room. But now that the girl is married, even a small workshop is not easy to do in the yard."
Now that there is a male owner in the yard, there are still some things that you need to pay attention to.
Ming thought about it and felt a headache, so he simply stopped thinking about it: "I'll go back to Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower next time, and I'll ask Ming Jing." Ming Jing's head was better.
When Hongcha heard what she said, she simply didn’t want to think about it anymore.
While the few people were talking, it was almost dark. Mrs. Dong asked them to help light up the lights in the yard. One by one, the lights lit up, illuminating the yard brightly. Mingxin went over to talk to Mrs. Dong.
say.
"This grandma..."
"Hey, my surname is Dong. Just call me Mrs. Dong. Everyone in the house calls me that. Are you two my lady's personal maids?" Mrs. Dong glanced at them and felt that these two people seemed to be the same.
Not very smart.
Ming Xin was a bit careless and seemed to do things without thinking. It was only after Ming Jing left that she bit the bullet and used her decorative brain. Hong Cha worked carefully, but she didn't have any ideas.
Mingxin nodded: "Exactly, then I'll call you mother-in-law."
"It's done." Mrs. Dong didn't care about this.
Mingxin asked her: "Mother-in-law, how long have you been at home?"
Mrs. Dong said: "That's a long time. It's been more than twenty or thirty years."
Ming Xin let out a sigh: "It's been so long, so you should be clear about the things in the house. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, please tell me, lest we don't understand anything and make mistakes, which will endanger the Ninth Young Master and the
Girls get into trouble."
Seeing that she was sincere, Mrs. Dong also told her: "There is not much that needs attention in this house. I should be respectful when meeting the master. The guards in the house are all retired from the army. Although
You don’t have to respect me as much as you treat your master, but you should have a better attitude.”
Ming Xin nodded: "Thank you, mother-in-law, we will note it down."
This matter is quite simple. Some of the shops and farms of the Rong family have people who have retired from the army, such as Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower. There are quite a few of them. Mingxin naturally knows how to deal with them.
"There are also some people with injuries. Don't make a fuss if you see them. Just treat them as ordinary people."
"We took note of it."
The two of them listened carefully to Mrs. Dong's words. Xie Yixiao in the room also took a bath and put on clothes. The weather in October was already very cold, especially after the sun went down. Taking a hot bath like this will warm your body.
Yang Yang, the fatigue of the day seemed to be gone.
When I opened the window of my bedroom, I saw the moonlight shining down, and the lights in the courtyard were shining one by one, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Mingxin, Hongcha and a woman were talking by the waterside pavilion with smiles on their faces. They seemed quite harmonious.
"Mingxin." She shouted.
Mingxin heard the sound and quickly said goodbye to Mrs. Dong, and then walked quickly to the main room: "Girl, what's the matter?"
Xie Yixiao asked her: "When will the Ninth Young Master come back?"
"Well, this slave doesn't know..." Ming Xin patted her head, "Maybe the guest was almost gone and he came back."
How could the groom get away so easily?
Ming Xin was thinking about it when she heard Mrs. Dong in the yard saying in surprise: "Sir, are you back?"
