Chapter 287 Add fragrance to the red sleeves, love Changchun shallow
Cui Yingluo locked herself in the west wing room when she entered Li Xiao's mansion. She cried all day long, but Li Xiao ignored her. But after Wan Niang came, the maid informed her to come to see the eldest wife, but she didn't come. Wan Niang went to see her in person, but she locked the door and disappeared.
Zhen'er was so angry that she almost smashed the door.
But the Yuenu girl heard that the eldest lady had returned home, so she cleaned up and went to the flower hall to pay her respects.
Cui Yuenu is a very clean girl. She looks a bit similar to Cui Yingluo, but she is thinner and thinner, and seems to be a little malnourished. Her hair is a little yellow, but her eyes are very bright and she is very polite.
When I came in to meet Wanniang, I took the initiative to bow to greet me, and my speech was clear and organized, and very polite.
Li Xiao has an inexplicable affection for her. Compared to the girl Cui Yingluo, she is more like a lady from a famous family. Wanniang also likes this sensible and polite girl. In fact, in terms of age, Cui Yuenu is only one day older than Cui Yingluo.
They were both 28 years old, born to the same father and lived in the same house for 16 years, but their life trajectories were completely different. Cui Yingluo was born with thousands of favors, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Xuzhou. She was born to be the daughter of everyone and would marry into the seven families of five surnames and seven families to become the wife of the eldest wife.
But Yuenu, just because her mother was just a humble maid, she could only give birth to a maid from a family since she was a child. When Cui Yingluo started to study and read and learn to paint the piano, she had already learned to clean and wash clothes.
Cui Yingluo was a young man and had a good time, but Cui Yuenu often couldn't even have enough food. In the Cui family, she was just a slave, and she was not at all superior to other slaves. She would not do less work, nor would she eat a steamed cake. If she couldn't do a good job, she would be scolded or even beaten.
To put it bluntly, she is just the product of Cui Zhiti venting her desires after drinking. Cui Zhiti didn't intend to treat her mother well after drinking. After her mother gave birth to her, she was still a slave. She even gave birth to a daughter with Cui Zhiti, and she didn't even have the power to marry her slave.
Cui Yuenu never had a good impression of her father Cui Zhiti. The word "father" was too unfamiliar to him. Even in the same mansion, she rarely had contact with Cui Zhiti.
Cui Zhiti was in trouble, Cui's mansion was seized, and Cui Yuenu was also panicked, but when Yuenu saw his mother being driven to him, they arrived at the Li's mansion uneasy all the way. When Li Xiao smiled politely at her, Yuenu fell in love with her at that moment.
I am new to the place and I am not familiar with it, but my mother is by my side.
When they arrived at Li's mansion, the housekeeper arranged a room for them, a separate room, with his own bed, even his own dressing table, and even a bathtub in the room.
They didn't need to work, she became the concubine in this mansion and the object of respect for the slaves. She no longer had to worry about not having enough food. Three meals a day were very rich, and she even specially tied up two maids to serve them.
Cui Yingluo kept crying, but Cui Yuenu felt freedom and happiness.
Sometimes happiness is not too far and vague. For Cui Yuenu, it is enough to see the simple and practical things you can touch. It is enough to be able to eat and wear warmly, and be able to be with your mother.
Cui Yingluo could not accept the incidents of the Cui family, nor could she accept the fact that Li Xiao, who harmed the Cui family, became her husband. However, Cui Yuenu had no feelings for the Cui family, nor did Cui Zhiti. He liked this new family and the Li Xiao who smiled and cared for her.
When she saw the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhao, after some words, she fell in love with Mrs. Zhao.
"Are you still used to living?" Wanniang asked Yuenu.
"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine, and you can eat and live here well." Yue Nu said.
"Our family is not as good as the Cui family." Zhen'er said on the side, still full of hostility towards this little girl in the Cui family.
Li Xiao reminded his sister, "Yuenu actually didn't live well in the Cui family. Although Cui Zhiti was her father, she had never cared about their mother and daughter for sixteen years except for giving birth to her. The mother and daughter have always been slaves in the Cui family. They worked hard all day long, but sometimes they couldn't even eat enough, and they were a poor couple."
Zhen'er is a kind girl. When she heard this, she immediately forgot that she was very hostile to Yuenu just now. She immediately comforted her pitifully and said that she would be fine in the Li family in the future.
Wan Niang also held her hand, but Yue Nu couldn't help crying after a while.
"You will move out of the west wing later." Wanniang said.
Yuenu asked in panic, "Madam, did Yuenu do something wrong?"
"No, you misunderstood. I mean the room in the west wing will be left for your mother to live in. You moved out and live here to the room. You also saw that I am heavy now and it is not convenient. The bedroom here is very large, and there is a room outside. Usually, a maid was arranged to stay there. Now that you come and live there, I believe you can definitely serve Saburo well."
Yuenu was relieved when she heard this.
Li Xiao heard Wan Niang’s intention of arrangement. His bedroom was a large suite, with a large inside and a room outside. He was indeed arranged for a girl to stay at night, such as serving tea and pouring water. Of course, many wealthy families have arranged maids in this room, which are not ordinary people. They are usually dowry girls brought by the wife of the master.
This girl is also called a girl from the Tongfang. She usually lives in the outside room. Of course, if the wife of the master's family is inconvenient in the days, or if she is pregnant, then this maid will naturally replace the maid to warm the bed to accompany her. If some girls from the Tongfang are pregnant and have children, they may generally be promoted as concubines and gain a higher status, become half the master, have their own room, and may even have their own maid. Then, in the position of the girl from the Tongfang, they will choose a young and beautiful maid instead.
"Wan Niang, don't have to be so troublesome. I'm not used to someone outside."
Yuenu has been a slave in the Cui family for many years, and she is actually aware of these things. Not only is she not unhappy, she is also very happy.
Of course, being able to be a concubine in Li's house is better than being a maid in Cui's family.
"Miss is inconvenient, so Saburo lets Yuenu take care of her and will definitely take good care of her."
Seeing Wan Niang and Yue Nu get along so well so quickly, Li Xiao was speechless. These two women were so generous. They reached an agreement to share their own, and they didn't listen to their own ideas.
Although men want three wives and four concubines, they always have to get along with each other and cultivate their feelings. It is a bit too casual to get to the point of being so simple.
"Do you think Yue Nu is not the benefit of being a wife?" Yue Nu asked anxiously when she saw Li Xiao's helpless look.
What else could Li Xiao say? He had to go back and comfort Yuenu for a few more words.
