Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zhang Jiaojiao was having a very miserable time here, while Shangguan Qingyue was feeling very comfortable and relaxed.

Zhang Daniu looked at Shangguan Qingyue's comfortable expression and said:

"Miss, why don't I stay here and learn this massage technique, so that I can give you a massage anytime."

"Sister Big Girl, you don't have to call me that. We are a family, so just call each other by our names or sisters." She was not used to this master-servant mode of getting along.

The girl has not been out and seen the world yet, otherwise wouldn't she even have to call herself "slave" or "humble maid"?

"Little sister, you are the legitimate daughter of our Shangguan family. After returning to the capital, mother will certainly arrange for you to have maids and old women to serve you according to the regulations. There will be at least two first-class maids, and more second-class and lower-class maids.

Since you have the girl's indenture, why not take her in for your own use? After all, you are familiar with her and you are used to getting along with her."

Shangguan Qingyue knew that her elder sister was right, and she should try to adapt to the local customs. There was no such thing as "everyone is equal" here, and if she dared to say it out loud, she would be regarded as a lunatic.

Even family members are not immune to this.

So she looked at Zhang Daniu and said:

"That's it, Big Girl, go back and discuss it with Auntie. If she agrees, you can stay with me.

Mother, how much is the monthly salary for a maid like this?"

"Three taels of silver per month, and it will be increased every year. Of course, if you don't do your job well, you will be punished. You don't need to worry about this, mother will take care of it."

It was only at this moment that Zhang Danniu finally felt a real sense of belonging. She said excitedly:

"Miss, there is no need to discuss this with my mother. She would love for me to serve you. I, no, this servant kowtows to you. I will do my best to take care of your food, clothing and daily life in the future!"

Having said that, he knelt on the ground with a thud. No one could stop him. He kowtowed three times before stopping.

Shangguan Qingyue felt so distressed that she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the dirt off her forehead.

"Sister Big Girl, you don't have to be like this. If you become my maid, we have a deal that you are not allowed to kneel unless there are special circumstances.

There is nothing to argue about. We have always been sisters, and now I have made you my personal maid, which is already very unpleasant. There is no need to kowtow and call yourself a slave.

Just pay attention to your status etiquette when you are with outsiders."

Zhang Danniu felt warm at heart after hearing this. She knew that the young lady was sincere to her and she would never let her down!

"Okay, I will obey you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"Pfft~"

"Look at what you said, how can it be so tragic? Where are we going to go through fire and water? We just want to live a simple and comfortable life, not to march to war.

Just keep a normal mind, trust me, nothing will change. "

Shangguan Yunxin said again:

"Since Big Girl has become my personal maid, you have to change your name. If you keep calling me Big Girl, I'm afraid others will laugh at you."

Shangguan Qingyue agreed very much, but not because she was afraid of being laughed at. She simply felt that the name "Big Girl" was too perfunctory.

After a little thought, she came up with an idea.

"How about calling her Xiangxue? If we return to the capital, mother can choose someone else and name her Fangfei or Shuying... This way, I can still have something to think about.

But to avoid misunderstanding, just continue to call her Big Girl when you are in the village."

Zhang Danniu was naturally very happy.

After relaxing their muscles and bones, the three of them each chose some medicinal mud to apply on their faces.

Baili Nanqing chose the medicinal mud that has the effect of removing wrinkles and lightening spots, while the two girls chose the whitening and moisturizing one.

Although it is called medicinal mud, it has nothing to do with soil. It is made of medicinal powder mixed with floral dew, honey and egg white.

Nan Rongyuanzhi only gave a general recipe, and it was Zhou Xiaoxi who came up with the idea on how to apply it on the face.

It must be said that her life experience from her previous life did help a lot.

When Baili Nanqing, her son and her two children finished applying the medicinal mud and walked into the tea room chatting and laughing, they found that Liu's mother and daughter were there too.

Seeing the visitor, Zou Chunya stood up immediately in surprise, greeted him first, then put her arm around Shangguan Qingyue affectionately, and said:

"Xiaoxi, long time no see. I really miss the days in Xiangxue Village. I really want to have the chance to visit again!"

Liu didn't stand up, and didn't even put down the teacup in her hand, feeling unhappy about being disturbed. There were too many inappropriate things in this health club!

Shangguan Qingyue admired the county magistrate's daughter very much and had always wanted to make friends with her but gave up because of her mother.

The other party didn't know that she had revealed her new identity, but she couldn't say more. She just smiled and said:

"Sister Chunya, you are always welcome to come. With the support of the county magistrate, many villages along the official road have been completely renovated and the scenery is very nice.

I think that in a few years, our entire Shancang County will be famous for its beautiful countryside. The county magistrate is truly a good official who is dedicated to serving the people!"

Flattery never wears out. Seeing that the county magistrate's wife's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Shangguan Qingyue said a few nice words.

Sure enough, Liu smiled faintly and said:

"My master's painstaking efforts are worthwhile if you can see them.

Today, he is still running around for the livelihood of the people. I don’t know how many pairs of shoes he has worn out. Alas…”

His voice was choked with sobs, his face was sad, and he finally took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. He did this set of movements smoothly, and I don't know how many times he had done it.

Zou Chunya was very embarrassed to see her mother acting like this. It was true that her father was dedicated to the people, but it was not as exaggerated as her mother said. He only needed to do the investigation and arrangements, and did not need to do it himself.

My father is at home today, drinking and chatting with his friends...

Baili Nanqing sat opposite Liu and made a cup of fruit tea and drank it happily. She did not respond to Liu's question, but only sighed:

"Yuer, your jam is really good. I wonder if you can use other fruits instead of wild fruits?"

In addition to strawberry jam, Shangguan Qingyue knew that blueberry jam was also very good, but she had never tried the others.

So he smiled and replied:

"I'm not sure about this, but we can try them all. The more we do, the more experience we will gain."

"Okay, mother is waiting for you to make something even more delicious. Then you can give it to your friends in Beijing and show off to them!"

Then he scooped a small spoonful of canned strawberries with a spoon.

"It's sweet but not greasy, and retains the original taste of the flesh. It's delicious! If it's really as you said, and it can be preserved until winter without going bad, I'm afraid it will be snapped up like crazy.

Our precious daughter may become very wealthy in the future! Haha..."

Liu was confused. How could the mother of this country girl be such a noble person? From her clothes to her gestures, she exuded nobility inside and out.

She asked directly:

"This lady doesn't look like a country woman. How come I heard she is the mother of this little girl from the creek? Could it be that you have adopted her as your adopted daughter?"

Zou Chunya also looked at the girl next to her with great confusion; she also had some memory confusion.

Baili Nanqing recognized her daughter and was eager to announce it to everyone. She immediately approached Liu and said happily:

"Xiaoxi is my biological daughter, named Qingyue. When she was young, she was murdered by a servant and unfortunately lived away from home for many years. Now we are finally able to meet each other, it is really God's mercy!"

"Where is the lady from?"

Baili Nanqing simply said: "My husband is from the capital."

"Beijing?!!!"

Liu raised her voice instantly, startling Baili Nanqing so much that she dropped the spoon in her hand.
