"That's right!" Nanny Li took a half step forward to help Yao, and led everyone to the courtyard, saying as they walked: "The eldest lady said that Aunt Yao just returned home, and she is not convenient to do anything. If a maid who doesn't know the rules comes here, I'm afraid she won't be able to serve well, so let this old servant bring two big maids to help first. After everything is settled here, I will select capable servants for Aunt Yao to serve."
"Thank you very much, Madam." Yao shrank back and put her arm down from Li Ma's hand. Li Ma had always served Shen. When Shen was still a concubine, Li Ma had also bowed and called her Madam when she saw her. Now that the situation has changed, and she is back in Feng Mansion, everything is different from before.
Led by Nanny Li, two other maids also came over to greet the three people. One was called Manxi and the other was called Baotang.
The two girls looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. Manxi was slightly taller, and Baotang was a little chubby. But if Feng Yuheng looked at them from the perspective of the 21st century, being chubby was the sexiest figure.
She looked at the three people in front of her coldly. They were servants, but they were well-dressed and had no humble attitude. The two maids even put on light makeup. Then she looked at the three of them, mother and daughter, wearing coarse clothes and looking shabby from the rush of the journey. If you knew them, you would think they were masters, but if you didn't, you would think they were servants.
Li Mama was an old lady who was very good at preserving her appearance. No matter what she thought, she always had a smile on her face. But Manxi and Baotang were different. Feng Yuheng saw obvious disdain on their faces. Then he looked at the two of them, one in goose yellow and the other in light green, wearing long gauze skirts that fell to the ground. How could they be good at work?
Her mood instantly improved - "Now that everyone is here, let's get started!" Feng Yuheng clapped her hands, "Manxi and Baotang will be responsible for cleaning up the dust in the yard, Madam Li will help, and Madam Sun will follow me to clean up the inner room."
As she spoke, she walked to the corner, picked up two brooms piled there, and threw them at Manxi and Baotang without any courtesy: "Clean up the dust on the window frames, the dirt on the roof, and the broken things in the yard. Sprinkle water on the ground, and then use a brush to brush out the original color. You servants, I think you don't need me to tell you too much about these things, so hurry up, and you can have lunch after you finish."
She finished her words in one breath, pushed open the door of the main room first, and walked into the room facing the dust blowing in her face. Then she shouted, "Madame Li, go get me a bucket of water and find an empty basin."
Seeing Feng Yuheng enter the house, Nanny Sun also helped Yao and Zirui in. The three people who stayed behind were dumbfounded, especially Manxi and Baotang. They were called servants, but they were the first-class maids around the eldest lady. What they did on weekdays was nothing more than serving tea and chatting with the lady. They had never done these rough jobs!
The two maids looked at Li Ma Ma in embarrassment, and when they saw her shaking her head helplessly, they knew that there was nothing they could do, because the Madam had sent them here. They said they were helping, but in fact, everyone knew that they were just pretending. Just looking at their clothes and their status beside the Madam, no concubine or master would dare to really treat them as servants.
But the second young lady who just returned home did not play by the rules. Not only did she order him around, she also acted as if it was a matter of course and even said... I have to finish the work before I can eat?
"Mammy." Manxi frowned and said, "Do we really have to do the rough work she said?"
Nanny Li glared at her and said with a gloomy face, "If you want to go back to see the Madam like this, I won't stop you. But you should think carefully about what the Madam told you to do. If you go back without accomplishing anything, watch out for your skin!"
After she threatened them like this, the two girls dared not say anything more. Yes, they came to Liuyuan with a mission. If they were scared away as soon as they arrived, the eldest lady would definitely skin them alive when they return!
Thinking of this, she no longer cared about her clothes, grabbed the broom and started cleaning while pinching her nose. Nanny Li also went to the well at the gate of the courtyard to fetch water.
The four people in the room also rolled up their sleeves and started to work, even Feng Zirui joined in the work.
Nanny Sun originally didn't want to trouble the masters, but on the one hand, if the room was not cleaned, there would be no place to sit. Secondly, seeing how Yao did these chores with ease, she knew that she must have been used to doing them after living in the mountain village for so many years. The old woman turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and did not mention anything about the masters should rest.
Soon, Nanny Li brought the water and poured it into the empty basin, and Feng Yuheng wrung out the rag to wipe the table.
Everyone was busy working when they heard a cry from outside the door: "I'm choking! What the hell is this place?"
