Rise From the Humble

After Li Shu and the little maid Baozi laughed, two little maids brought tea in small tea trays and invited Zhu Pingan and Li Shu to have tea. Against the background of the white bamboo tea cup, the tea soup becomes more and more emerald green in color and rich in aroma.

These two little maids are not very old, only about ten years old, and their childishness has not faded away, but they are already very familiar with tasks such as serving tea and pouring water. At this age, this would be child labor, but in this dynasty, it was normal. Girls can be trained only when they are young. If they are younger, they will not be able to work, and if they are older, they will be married soon. If the rationing It's okay for the young man. If he gets married, he will belong to someone else's family and he won't be able to serve him for long. This age is just right.

"Thanks."

Zhu Ping'an was never used to being served by others, so he took the tea cup and said thank you.

After the two little maids heard Zhu Ping'an say thank you, their round cheeks were red, their heads were drooped, and they were a little at a loss and said, "You're welcome, uncle."

Li Shu glanced at the two girls, then looked at Zhu Ping'an and said with a smile, "My husband doesn't have any girls to serve him yet. Why don't we let these two girls serve him tea and make the bed?"

Ahem

Zhu Ping'an was sipping tea. He choked after hearing Li Shu's words and coughed before swallowing.

"Thank you, no, I'm used to being alone, but I'm not used to being served by others." Zhu Pingan refused without thinking. He had hands and feet, so why should he be served by others? He was still two child laborers. He didn't have any hobbies. .

"A sixth-grade official doesn't have girls or servants to serve him, so he won't be afraid of being laughed at by his colleagues if he tells it." Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a half-smile, her big watery eyes as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Not afraid." Zhu Pingan shook his head indifferently.

"It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart." Li Shu's eyebrows were arched and her little nose was slightly turned up. She made a sweet sound and then gave Zhu Ping'an a roll of her eyes.

Seeing her young lady chatting with her uncle, the little maid Baozi glanced at the two little girls and waved her hands slightly, signaling them to leave and not to disturb the young lady and her uncle's chat. When the two little girls saw Baozi's little maid's gesture, they both bowed and stepped back with winks.

In the eyes of the two little girls, Little Maid Baozi is half of their master.

Little Maid Baozi's status in the family is not low, especially recently, her status has been improved. Now Little Maid Baozi is not only Li Shu's personal maid, but also the maiden's maid. Li Shu has four personal maids, including Little Maid Baozi, but there is only one girl in the common room, Little Maid Baozi. This is decided by the family.

The maidservant is between the aunt, that is, the concubine, and the maidservant. Her status is slightly lower than the concubine, but higher than all the maidservants.

After the first-in-law girl has a title, she becomes a concubine. Although the maid of the first wife does not have a status yet, in some respects, she does the same thing as a concubine, but she does not have a status yet.

The Tongfang girl literally means the girl who is in the Tongfang room. In ancient times, the bedroom of the Tongfang girl was connected with the bedrooms of the male and female masters. When the male and female masters were doing some boudoir fun, the Tongfang girl could serve on the side. And if the master asks, she can also join in a threesome. Of course, in ancient times, it was probably not so open. Most of the time, when the mistress was menstruating, the maid would perform some bed duties for the mistress.

The dowry girls and the girls who live in the same house are two different things. Now the girls in this house are all dowry girls. Any girl that Li Shu brings here is a dowry girl, but the girl who is the first wife is Baozi.

Therefore, Baozi's little maid can be said to have the highest status in the house besides Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu.

Li Shu hurriedly came out of the house just now, and she had been there for a while now. She was worried that her mother, Mrs. Chen, would miss her, and it was estimated that there would be people at home to see her new daughter-in-law. How could it be okay if the new daughter-in-law was not here, so after drinking tea, Li Shu went with Zhu Ping'an Returned to the house opposite.

Now the little maid Baozi wanted to follow, but Li Shu refused to let her go, saying that she didn't have a maid to serve her at home, so she brought the maid over. It was too ostentatious, and the distance was in vain. Therefore, Li Shu asked the little maid Baozi to stay in this house, and she also assigned the maid to tidy up the house.

The two houses are right next to each other, just a few steps away.

After returning home, it turned out that there were many women from the village at home, and her mother, Mrs. Chen, was talking to them in a lively manner. She was probably showing off again. Zhu Pingan couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Zhu Ping'an recognized these women, so he stepped forward to say hello with a smile, and introduced them to Li Shu one by one, and Li Shu also called them sweetly.

After this group of people left, the house finally became quiet. Mother Chen asked Zhu Pingan to take Li Shu around the house. Because the house was much larger than when she left, Zhu Pingan also took the opportunity to take Li Shu to the backyard to have a look.

In this backyard, the family originally planned to build a wedding house for Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu. However, Rich Man Li felt sorry for the girl and felt that the space was a little too small. After discussion, he built a new house opposite the door.

Now the backyard is conveniently used to open a vegetable plot and a pig pen, and the remaining space is also used to raise some flowers and plants.

The lush green vegetables and colorful flowers give people an overwhelming feeling that the garden is full of spring.

Several fat pigs with black and white flowers in the pigsty saw someone entering the backyard and thought they were coming to feed them. They all lay on the pigsties with their trotters stretched out and hummed eagerly towards Zhu Pingan who came first. Get up, you are so enthusiastic.

However, a few tall flowers were planted in front of the pig pen, which stood out against the plump and cheerful pig's head, which was particularly joyful.

"Look, look, your relatives are greeting you." Seeing this, Li Shu couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

"Thanks to you, I can become relatives with them." Zhu Pingan said in a leisurely manner.

"You're boring and stingy." Li Shu pouted and complained.

Well, it seems you were the one who said it first. Hearing Li Shu's scolding, Zhu Ping'an was speechless.

"Hey, Zhu Pingan, you have to let me go from now on." Li Shu walked up to Zhu Pingan, raised her pretty face and said seriously.

"Why?" Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu.

Zhu Pingan thought that this girl would rely on what her mother Chen said at noon, or that she would use the island to feed blood to save her life. However, Li Shu's answer greatly exceeded Zhu Pingan's expectations.

"You are five feet two and I am only five feet tall. When you talk to me, you have to bow your head first, just like now."

Li Shu raised her pretty face with a smile, stretched out her slender jade fingers and pointed at Zhu Ping'an's lowered head. Her dark eyes were as dark as ink, and her face was filled with the naughty look of an elf.

At this distance, it adds a bit of charm.
