The little maid bowed and said, "Second Miss, you can call me Mei'er."
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, these eight maids do not belong to the major courtyards of the backyard. They are all responsible for the chores of the entire backyard, and also take care of the daily lives of several concubines and maids.
Several concubines and maids were all from Jiang Shusen's harem. They had no children and were not very favored, so they were not very important in the mansion. They rarely left the courtyard where they lived together and rarely appeared in front of others. If they were not mentioned deliberately, no one would remember them.
During this period, Jiang Weishi’s rules and training for them were indispensable.
Jiang Fugui and Shantu exchanged glances, and each understood what he meant. Although Shanying didn't know what his young lady was planning, he was not stupid enough to ask in front of outsiders.
Mei'er is the outsider in Shanying's eyes.
At this moment, Mei'er was surprised, and her face was full of disbelief when she looked at Jiang Fugui.
She had never thought that she could enter the Second Young Lady's courtyard so easily, and she had no idea that she could get the job so easily...
"Shantu, please tell Mei'er about the important boxes I usually keep locked, and give her the keys so she can keep them."
"Yes."
The locked boxes were all in the next room. Shantu received the order and took Mei'er to the next room.
Shan Ying looked at Mei'er's joyful back and spat softly, "Does she really think she's a dish?"
Jiang Fugui didn't say anything, just sneered lightly!
Not to mention, Mei'er really thought of herself as a high-quality "good dish". As she followed Shantu, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
After entering the next room, Shantu took Mei'er to a row of boxes on the ground floor. Pointing to three locked boxes, he said, "These boxes are all locked. They contain the young lady's new clothes and belongings. They are all good things. You must take good care of them on weekdays. By the way, there are a few coats and silks in the boxes that are of good material. When the weather is good, you can take them out to the yard to dry and expose them to the sun. Here is the key. If you have any questions, you can come to ask me or Shanying."
Mei'er nodded, and after taking the key, her smile widened. "I've noted it all down. Sister Shantu, just leave it to me."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, and everyone in the mansion has started to prepare things for the festival.
However, at this moment, the palace sent a message to each mansion, saying that they had to come to the palace to enjoy the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. The attendant who delivered the message also specifically reminded each family to bring their legitimate daughters into the palace.
That is, if each family wanted to bring their legitimate daughter into the palace, she had to be unengaged and of the right age.
This... is a bit... intriguing!
Because time is tight, except for Jiang Ronggui, Jiang Fugui and Jiang Huagui both have to go, so they need to customize new clothes, and at least three sets for each person, one set to wear into the palace, and two sets to prepare for changing clothes.
After waiting for the tailor to finish the job as quickly as possible, and having Jiang Fugui and Jiang Huagui try it on and confirming that there were no problems, he gave it to the two of them to keep, waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to wear into the palace.
Naturally, Jiang Fugui's new clothes were packed and locked in the box by Mei'er herself.
However, just one day later, Jiang Weishi brought Nanny Ye to Beiliyuan and said that among the three new sets of clothes that Jiang Fugui wore when he entered the palace, one of them belonged to Jiang Huagui. It was wrong on the day it was delivered, so it needed to be changed back in time and then adjusted again.
