"That's right, that's right!" Granny Li took half a step forward to support Yao shi and led everyone into the courtyard. While walking, she said: "Head madam said that concubine mother Yao has just returned to the manor, so everything will be inconvenient. If a servant that doesn't understand the rules comes, they will not be able to serve you well. Thus, this old servant brought two servants over to help. When everything has been settled, concubine mother will be given some capable servants to order around."
"We have truly troubled the head madam." Yao shi shrunk back and let go of granny Li's hand. This granny Li had always served the Shen Clan. When she was still a concubine in the Shen Clan, granny Li had bowed and called her head madam when she saw her. Now that she had returned to the Feng manor, everything was different from the past.
Under granny Li's lead, the other two maidservants came to greet the three. One was called Man Xi and the other was called Bao Tang.
The two maidservants were around sixteen or seventeen years old. Man Xi was a bit taller and Bao Tang was a bit chubby, but if Feng Yu Heng looked at it from the 21st century, a bit chubby was the sexiest figure.
She coldly looked at the three people in front of her. Although they were servants, their clothes were decent and their attitudes were not humble at all. The two maidservants even wore light makeup. Looking at the mother and daughters, they wore coarse clothes and were in a sorry state. Those who knew would be masters, but those who didn't would think they were servants.
Granny Li was an old person and was very good at keeping up appearances. No matter what she was thinking, she always had a smile on her face. But Man Xi and Bao Tang were different. Feng Yu Heng could see the obvious disdain on their faces. Looking at the two, one was light yellow and the other was light green. How could they be made to work?
Her mood immediately improved "Since everyone has come, let's get to work!" Feng Yu Heng clapped her hands, "Man Xi and Bao Tang will be responsible for cleaning up the dust in the courtyard. Granny Li will help. Granny Sun will help me clean up the room."
As she spoke, she walked to the corner and picked up two brooms that were piled up there. She threw them at Man Xi and Bao Tang without any trace of politeness: "The dust on the window, the dirt on the roof, and the broken things in the courtyard, clean them all up for me. The ground needs to be splashed with water and then brushed with a brush to make it look natural. As servants, I don't think I need to instruct you too much about these things. Hurry up then. Once you're done, you can have lunch. "
She finished her words in one breath and took the lead to open the door of the main room. Facing the dust, she entered the room and then shouted, "Mammy Li, go and get me a bucket of water and an empty basin."
Seeing Feng Yu Heng enter the room, Sun mama also helped Yao shi and Zirui inside. The three people who were left behind were dumbfounded, especially Man Xi and Bao Tang. Although they were servants, they were the head madam's personal maidservants. Normally, the only thing they did was bring tea or chat with the head madam. They had never done this kind of rough work before!
The two maidservants looked at Li mama with embarrassment. Seeing the other helplessly shake her head, they knew there was no other way. Who told the head madam to send them over? Although it was said to help, who didn't know that it was just for show. Just by looking at their clothes and status at the head madam's side, no concubine would dare to order them around.
But this second young miss who had just returned to the manor did not play by the rules. Not only did she order them around, she ordered them around as if it was natural. She also said … … they had to finish before they could eat?
"Mammy." Man Xi frowned and said, "Are we really going to do the rough work she said?"
Li mama glared at her and said with a heavy face: "If you want to go back to see the head madam like this, then I won't stop you. Just think about the head madam's orders. If you go back without doing anything, then be careful of your skin! "
With her scaring them like this, the two maidservants didn't dare to say anything else. That's right, they came to Willow courtyard with a mission. If they were scared off as soon as they arrived, then the head madam would skin them alive!
Thinking like this, they didn't care about the clothes on their bodies. Grabbing the broom, they pinched their noses and began to clean. Mammy Li also went to the well at the entrance to the courtyard to get water.
The four people in the room also rolled up their sleeves and began to work. Even Feng Zirui began to work.
Mammy Sun originally didn't want to trouble the masters, but if the room wasn't cleaned, there wouldn't be a place to sit. Also, seeing Yao shi's ease in doing these chores, she knew that she must have gotten used to it in the mountain village. The old woman turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't say anything about the masters needing to rest.
Very quickly, mammy Li came back with water and poured it into an empty basin. Feng Yu Heng wrung out a cloth and went to wipe the table.
Everyone was busy in full swing when they heard a delicate shout from outside the door: "I'm going to choke to death! What kind of place is this? "
