Da Ya and Er Ya also looked at them with interest.
These days, and the others could feel the difference between green bamboo and red flowers.
The two of them were both maidservants who came from wealthy families, so their ma
erisms and behavior were naturally very different from those of rural girls like them.
Da Ya also knew that at the begi
ing, Cui Zhu and Hong Hua were not interested in the countryside. If Shen He did not hold their indenture contract, he would not have stayed behind.
Of course, the other important reason they stayed behind was also because of Wen Jian Qing.
The person the eldest young master wanted to send away, he wouldn''t dare go back without an order.
But as Shen He slowly revealed her methods, the green bamboo and red flower slowly acknowledged him.
The feeling Shen He gave them was something that could not be taught in the countryside.
Her speech and demeanor were not the least bit inferior to those of the rich families in the capital.
The only thingcking was his origin.
Hearing Shen He''s question, Hong Hong Hong blushed and exined: "As servants, we will always be lowly ves. In the future when we get married, we will only be able to find a viger or servant who''s also a lowly citizen. The child we give birth to will naturally still be a lowly citizen."
This was the reason why Cui Zhu and Hong Hua''s parents were the steward of the manor and they were still maids.
The ss barrier must not be confused!
Shen He could not help but tut twice, and said: "So, to be able to be the old master''s young master''s concubine, you can get rid of your lowly status and be a part of the n in the next generation."
Hearing Shen He''s words, Cui Zhu became more refined and nodded in assent: "Yes, yes. Even though I''m carrying a room, I''m still a concubine. However, the children that were born, even if they were concubines or concubines, have already left their lowly status. "
Apart from the attendant and the maidservant, everyone else in the room had a sudden realization.
Hong Hua continued, "But this'' Aunt Zou ''isn''t something that anyone can carry easily. ording to the rules, there was a deal to be made. Moreover, this was something that could only be carried by the wife of the family. "Therefore, it''s better if someone who doesn''t have any capabilities give up on this early on."
With that said, Hong Hua shot a nce at Cui Zhu.
Cui Zhu''s expression was a bit ugly.
Shen He smiled. It seemed like she had some other reason why Cui Zhu had been sent here.
Since she was with him, he couldn''t ept a woman as his concubine. Her n hadpletely failed.
As long as she was obedient, he would at least give her a good future in the future.
Second Uncle Wang said: "Our vige people are pure, we are not that flowery. The couple will live their lives together with one mind and one heart."
Hearing Second Uncle Wang''s words, Cui Zhu could not help but retort: "Who doesn''t want to be the in-charge? However, this family also needed to have something to be able to do. The countryside was simple, but they could not eat anything. They could not even eat rice in times of disaster, so they had to sell their children to survive. Although being a servant of a wealthy family was a rough job, she still had some food to eat. If you meet a better host family, you will be able to enjoy a month''s worth of money after eating your fill and getting dressed warmly.
The meaning behind his words was that, if this People in the vige wanted to sell him in his residence, he would not even want his residence!
Second Uncle Wang was a little embarrassed.
Shen He opened her mouth and said, "What you say makes sense. This was what it meant to be cold when drinking water. Some people only needed a mouthful of food, but wished to live freely. Some people were eager to eat better than to buy more clothes. Some people were toozy to go out and like to do handmade, and so on. Everyone has their own way of life, that''s for sure. "Therefore, whether it''s being a servant girl, being the principal wife, or being the concubine, they all have their own choices in life. It doesn''t matter how high or low they are."
Shen He''s words caused everyone in the room to feel much better.
Cui Zhu and Hong Hua could not help but look at Shen He.
They felt that Shen He was even more unfathomable now.
He was only eleven years old, but when he spoke, he was no worse than his wife, or even Second Master.
If not for seeing other vige girls, they would have thought that these country girls were already as formidable as their young miss!
It was probably because they saw how powerful Shen He was, that Cui Zhu and Hong Hua were willing to follow Shen He.
They understood.
With their aptitudes, it would be difficult for them to be first-rate maidservants.
Rather than being grinded down by others in the backyard, it was better to just follow Shen He.
At least, the people around Shen He were simple, there wasn''t much work to do, it was good that they could follow him on her journey.
Maybe in the future, when Shen He was very lucky, they would be able to benefit from it too.
After the gossip was over, it was already midnight.
The sound of firecrackers could be heard in the vige. Many people had already started cooking dumplings, setting off firecrackers, and burning incense paper to pay homage to their ancestors. The children were also starting to visit the vige to pay their respects.
Shen He got up and changed her clothes, then followed Second Uncle Wang to the vige chief''s house to pay respects to the new year.
The Second Uncle Wang and Shen He were people who only had their own sects to support them, so naturally, they did not have to pay New Year respects to other elders.
After all, either they die or they escape.
When he met the children on the streets of the vige, Shen He would grab a handful of cooked peanut and melon seeds from his pocket and give them to them.
This made the children revolve around Shen He.
After the New Year, Shen He would go to sleep right up to the end.
Shen He slept all the way until around ten in the morning before sleepily eating the first meal of the new year.
Everyone in the house had already changed into new clothes, and they were all brimming with joy.
Second Uncle Wang and two attendants had already cleaned up all the waste paper in the courtyard from the ca
on fires. The incense in the middle was burning, and there were cigarettes floating in the air.
"You don''t want to sleep any longer?" Seeing Shen He get out of bed, Second Uncle Wang immediatelyughed and said, "It''s been the new year so we don''t have any rtives to leave with. If you can sleep for a while longer, then go back to sleep."
Shen Heughed as she shook her head.
It was time for her to n things out for the year.
When the Second Uncle Wang gets married, she will have to leave.
Before she left, she had to find a ce to stay.
She couldn''t just follow Wen Jian Qing into the Wen Family. In terms of reputation, it was not clear.
Therefore, after the Spring Festival, she would go to the capital to investigate and purchase a house.
Then, the main problem now was how to make money quickly.
The Beijing house was not a countryside house. A few dozen taels of silver could build arge one.
The small rooms in the capital were probably worth several hundred taels of silver.
Shen He dug through her savings. She only had two thousand gold and this was after she sold a bunch of spoils.
She needed to live her life in the capital, so she had to think of a way to make money quickly.
Just as Shen He was thinking about this matter, the guards outside the door came back fake, and gave Shen He a bunch of gifts, as well as a letter from Wen Jian Qing.
Shen He opened the envelope and looked through it. She was immediately overjoyed, grabbed the guard, and asked: "What else did Jian Qing say?"
