Su Wan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "You want to come with me?"
Shuxiang nodded vigorously: "My relatives have long since disappeared. I grew up in Shantang. When I was a child, I studied and learned calligraphy with my husband in Shantang. When I got older, I came to Lanxi Garden to work."
"My slave is not good at anything else, but I can still dress the lady or make tea."
Shuxiang is the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of Lan Xiyuan, and she is indeed quite capable. She is also particularly good at dealing with people. She is a gentle, kind and resilient woman. Su Wan has been with her for a while and quite likes her.
But take her away...
Su Wan was undecided for a while: "Let's discuss this later. I have to think about it carefully."
Shuxiang naturally knew that things would not happen all at once. If she wanted to serve the madam, she could not decide casually. But since the madam said she would consider it, she was satisfied.
"Then Madam, please think about it. Madam, your yard has been tidied up two days ago. You are tired from the journey. Go and have a rest."
Su Wan nodded: "Okay, let the kitchen prepare some meals so that the guards can eat and rest. They have worked hard all the way."
"When Madam's carriage arrived at the door, the steward had already asked the kitchen to be prepared and the hot water was boiling."
Lanxi Garden is the place where people from Licheng stay in Meicheng. People often come to rest. Because they are tired from traveling on the road, once someone comes, the housekeeper will ask the kitchen to prepare meals and hot water to take care of the person comfortably. Comfortable.
When Su Wan heard this, he felt a warm current flow through him. He was in a foreign country and was tired from traveling. He could find a safe place, eat a hot meal, take a hot bath, and then sleep peacefully. , that is really a heart-warming thing.
No wonder I heard that people traveling from Licheng to the Western Wei Dynasty liked to stay in Lanxi Garden.
Su Wan smiled gently: "Thank you very much."
Shuxiang said: "This is all our responsibility, and we don't deserve Madam's thanks. However, everything is arranged by the chief steward. The servants are waiting in the backyard. There are really few female relatives who come and go. Counting these years, they have never done anything. whats the matter."
The two walked towards the backyard while talking, Xiao Sang followed behind, looking at Shu Xiang without leaving a trace.
She was pretty and not particularly outstanding. She stood next to Su Wan and was pressed down. There was no comparison at all.
And his abilities are also good. He has gone to school, is literate, can write and read, has been trained in etiquette, and is also very good. His skills in dressing up, making tea and other skills are also considered good.
As for his temperament...it looks pretty good at the moment.
Xiao Sang was actually a little moved, thinking that it would be great if it could really happen.
After all, it's hard to find a considerate maid. If you don't find one well, the master's life will not be so comfortable.
The previous Shanwu Zhucui is an example. When I first fell in love with them, they were also very hard-working and thoughtful people, but they discovered problems later.
The two of them usually don't like to talk when doing things, and they don't seem to be smart enough. The lady said that they didn't need to wait on them anymore, so they went back to rest as they should.
So much so that the lady can be fine with them or without them, but she is doing the things of a second-class maid in front of a first-class maid.
Later, Shan Wu had a foreign heart, but Zhu Cui remained silent.
Su Wan returned to the yard, ate something to pad her belly, waited for the hot water to boil, then took a comfortable bath, and went to catch up on her sleep while hugging the quilt.
On the second day, Xiao Sang told her about Shuxiang.
"You also think Shuxiang is good?"
Xiao Sang said: "I think it's okay, my lady. Madam brought back kidney beans from the Imperial City. Her temperament is quite lively. I originally thought that if I teach her well, I can stay by Madam's side. Firstly, she does things quickly, and secondly, He can talk and amuse himself and can relieve Madam's boredom."
However, Kidou and the Gao family have such a fate, and now they all recognize the Gao family as their parents and follow their parents to work on the stove.
"Shu Xiang is not as lively as Kidney Bean, but she is very good in terms of ability and temperament, especially since she can also say a few personal words to Madam."
"However, I still want to send someone to investigate, and we will make a conclusion at that time."
"Right now, Madam is indeed missing someone. Shanwu has left, and Zhu Cui doesn't like to talk. Although her hair-combing skills are good, she really isn't someone who can take her out. In the future, it's better to let her tie Madam's hair quietly. Enough."
Su Wan hesitated: "Just let me think about it."
"Then Madam, please think about it carefully."
The weather in October is getting colder and colder. The winter clothes that Su Wan had prepared for everyone in the house were distributed to everyone. Everyone was very happy.
Although the salary in the house has always been very good, in addition to the monthly salary and two new clothes every season, who doesn't love free things.
Whenever winter came, Su Wan didn't like to go out very much. If she had nothing to do, she would stay in the house and find something to do to pass the time. She had visited Meicheng several times before, and she wasn't very interested at the moment, so she stayed there. yard.
On this day, she was making velvet flowers with Xiao Sang, when she heard her maid come to report: "Madam, Mrs. Daxi has come to visit."
"Mrs. Da Xi?" Su Wan was stunned for a while before he remembered who this person was, so he nodded, "Go and invite her in."
Then, she straightened her bun, put on a thick cloak, and went to the entrance of the small courtyard to greet him.
When Mrs. Daxi arrived, she was wearing a red dress and a large red fox fur cloak embroidered with peonies. There was a maid beside her to hold an umbrella to protect her from the wind.
Seeing that it was Su Wan coming to greet her, she smiled and stepped forward quickly: "Mrs. Su."
"Mrs. Daxi."
The two of them entered the house together, and the maid came forward to take off their cloaks. The earth dragon was burning in the house, and it was as warm as spring.
However, it was too cold in winter. Mrs. Daxi sat down and drank another cup of hot tea, which relieved her a little.
Su Wan sat on the edge and took a slow sip of tea. Seeing that her face looked better, he asked her: "Why are you here in such a cold weather?"
Mrs. Da Xi moved her somewhat stiff fingers, and then said: "I came here today to send you an invitation."
Su Wan blinked and couldn't think of anything she wanted to invite her to: "Invitation? What invitation?"
"I'm getting married."
Su Wan was startled and woke up: "Are you getting married? Are you getting married?"
Mrs. Daxi glanced at her: "What? Can't I get married? Does Mrs. Su think that I can't get married to a divorced woman like this?"
Su Wan calmed down and said, "Look what you said, when did I say that I cannot get married to a woman I have divorced? This man has the right to pursue happiness at any time."
She was just a little surprised. In just two months, Mrs. Daxi had gone through divorce, raising a pretty boy, and getting married again?
