Chapter 32: Pampering Your Beloved
Qi Huaijing took action again, and did not forget to let the little girl kowtow to Madam Yue before packing up and leaving.
As expected, Mrs. Yue was so angry that her face turned pale again... It was just right, she would never send him sobering soup again.
Just like that, two maids, one big and one small, were driven out of Wutong Garden, leaving two vacancies. When the maids of the Qi family heard the news, they all tried their best to get a job in this courtyard.
The maids in this courtyard were famously paid generous monthly wages, and no matter how tyrannical the master was, there would always be someone who wanted to come in and serve.
Chen Tang made up his mind and did not allow any new maid to come.
Firstly, the situation has finally become quiet, and the remaining people are all honest and don't meddle in other people's business. If one or two new maids come, who knows what their temperaments and behaviors are, there might be more trouble.
Second, there are more than enough maids in this courtyard.
The Qi family is richer than the Shen family, but if viewed from the perspective of the entire Linjiang City, they are just a middle-class family, not as good as the rich, but better than the poor.
The main reason is that Mrs. Yue's family is wealthy, and Qi Huaijing has been spoiled since childhood and has always chosen the best things, which makes him seem particularly generous.
When there are many people, there are many things to do.
Therefore, Chen Tang only let Huaping fill the position of the head maid and increased her monthly salary by half a tael, ranking her just below Bai Lu.
Huaping was only sixteen or seventeen years old, not as old as Bailu, not as smart and clever as her, and her eloquence was far inferior to hers.
But she has one advantage over others: she is really honest and sincere, especially to Shen Tang, she is sincere and loyal.
There are not many people in this world who treat her sincerely, and Huaping is one of them.
For this reason alone, she deserves this praise.
But Huaping is enthusiastic but has little experience, and she always thinks the best of others. Chen Tang wants to train her, so he takes her wherever she goes, letting her see the world and broaden her horizons. At least she knows the ins and outs of the water and shouldn't be so naive and straightforward.
Recently, Chen Tang helped Qin with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing that she was always paying attention and doing everything attentively, everyone said that she was in charge...
Uh, okay.
Firstly, she had never taken care of household affairs before. After learning from Qin Jiangyun for a month or two, she only learned the basics. Qin was deliberately on guard against her and refused to teach her the real things. She had to rely on her to figure things out carefully.
Secondly, Chen Tang knew that he had just arrived. Although he could see a few things that could be added or deleted, it was not a good idea to overturn the old rules all at once. He just had to follow the old rules in everything. This would give Qin Jiangyun face while not delaying important matters.
Sure enough, her performance was mediocre, neither good nor bad, and no one could say anything.
Except for Qi Huaijing, everyone praised her highly.
"Tsk tsk, my lady is really becoming more and more capable. Look at how efficiently she does things. It's really impressive..."
"Look, my Tangtang has learned a new skill. I didn't know you were so amazing..."
"My dear sister, how come you are so smart and clever that you can even learn such a difficult thing! It's really beyond the reach of others..."
Chen Tang: “…”
Seeing Qi Huaijing's exaggerations becoming more and more astonishing, she remembered that he had the same pampering temperament as Mrs. Yue, and finally couldn't help but cover his chattering mouth.
"Cousin, since you were a child, have you heard your wife praise you like this many times?"
Qi Huaijing was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
really.
He grew up in a honey pot and has been endlessly pampered since the moment he was born.
From learning to speak, to learning to walk, from learning to feed oneself, to writing the first word in life crookedly...
Even if he just picked a flower and gave it to Mrs. Yue, he would still hear praises for a long time.
"My dear Jing'er, how could he be so smart and capable? My dear, you are really a rare good child in the world. Oh, my little sweetheart, you are really the apple of my mother's eye..."
This is Mrs. Yue's usual style.
This is also what Qi Huaijing hates most about her.
Chen Tang’s heart was as clear as a mirror—Qi Huaijing pampered himself in the same way that Madam Yue pampered him.
Both mother and daughter are so pampering to their beloved ones.
But he didn't notice it at all.
Seeing that he was stunned by what he said, Chen Tang smiled and let go of his hand.
"Are the words you use to praise me similar to the words my wife used to praise you?"
Chen Tang wanted him to change, to stop praising himself, complimenting himself, and pampering himself no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Qi Huaijing did not understand what she meant. Instead, he remembered that she lost her mother at a young age, and was filled with pity and love. He reached out and hugged her in his arms.
"Good Tang'er, I will definitely praise you more in the future to make up for what my late mother-in-law gave me."
Chen Tang was struggling and playing in his arms. When he heard these words, it was like a thunderclap in his heart. His smile disappeared immediately and he looked at him motionlessly.
She originally wanted to blame Qi Huaijing for doting on her just like Madam Yue had spoiled him, and pampering her excessively, praising her to no limit for the slightest thing.
Unexpectedly, he thought of himself who lost his mother when he was young and had no one to love and rely on. He received less unwarranted doting and less blatant favoritism than he did.
He wanted to make up for what happened to her mother, little by little.
Chen Tang's heart was moved, his eyes became hot, and tears started to flow down.
Seeing that she was smiling just now but suddenly burst into tears, Qi Huaijing guessed that his words reminded her of her mother, so he hugged her in his arms, feeling both pity and guilt.
"It's okay, it's okay. Now that you have me, can we stay together? Day by day, year by year, we will always be together..."
Chen Tang listened to every word, nestled in his arms, closed her tearful eyes, and refused to blame him again.
…
Forget it, forget it.
If your husband likes this kind of unlimited pampering, then let him be.
After all, she really lacked so much love.
