Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 119 Call Me Green Bean

After Xiao Zhao left, Huang Ye called the housekeeper Uncle Chen and asked him to ask people to dismantle the small kitchen in Furong Garden. She would have someone send the blueprints for the specific reconstruction later. Uncle Chen didn't waste any words and went straight to ask people to go. Now in this mansion, the eldest lady's words are more effective than the old man's.

Huang Ye rushed to the courtyard where Chen was handling affairs. The matchmaker had already brought the people over, and there were ten little maids for her to choose from.

The little maids all looked at Huang Ye longingly, for they all knew that being a servant in the Huang residence was the best thing. They prayed in their hearts, hoping that they could stay.

"Have any of you ever worked in the kitchen? And like to cook?"

A short, round-faced girl's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand: "I, no..., I used to work in the kitchen and I like to tinker with food."

Huang Ye saw that the little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had two dimples on her face when she smiled, and looked very cute.

"It's you, you stay."

Hearing that she could stay, the little girl knelt down happily and kowtowed three times. She had thought that she was the least noticeable and the most hopeless among these people, but she didn't expect to be so lucky today and meet such a good lady.

Huang Ye picked out two more who looked mature and steady, and sent the rest away. She was not used to having so many people serving her, and felt that she had no privacy at all. She asked someone to call Zhang over, and took the group back to Furong Garden.

At this time, the small kitchen in Furong Garden had been dismantled and the things that had been dismantled had been cleaned up. In fact, it was not accurate to call it a small kitchen. It was just a small tea room, usually used to boil hot water and heat up some soups.

Huang Ye wanted to build a big kitchen. Now that she was back, she had to enjoy herself. What she wanted to enjoy the most, of course, was delicious food. She was an absolute foodie in modern times. In addition, her family ran a hotel, so she had been influenced by them and had a lot of experience in cooking. She had endured it for so many years after traveling here, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

Huang Ye asked someone to send the kitchen drawings he had designed on the road to Uncle Chen. The kitchen was designed to be large enough. Fortunately, the Hibiscus Garden was also large enough. When the garden was built, the old lady had the two gardens merged. Even so, she was still not satisfied and said that her granddaughter deserved a bigger one. It was Huang's father who persuaded his mother that the garden was too big for the child, so she gave up.

It was not until she returned to the garden and sat down that Huang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. She was exhausted this morning.

Huang Ye first asked the two little girls who were chosen later, "What are your names?"

The slightly thinner girl answered respectfully: "My name is Chan'er."

The maid who looked a little older also replied: "My name is Ruyi."

"The name sounds nice, so just call you that. You two will serve in the room and be responsible for cleaning and tidying up the house. Ruyi is good at combing hair, so I'll let you comb my hair from now on." Hongdou came up and gave each of them a small purse, which contained silver as a reward for them. The two thanked her and left.

"What about you? What's your name?" Hongdou asked the little girl who liked cooking.

"My name is not nice, I want the young lady to give me one." The little girl was a little shy, her face was as red as an apple, which made her look even more adorable.

"What was your original name?" Huang Ye was very curious.

"I call you brother at home." The little girl didn't dare to look up. She was a little depressed: "I am the fifth girl. My parents hope that I can call back a younger brother." As a result, two more girls were born, and she was sold alone.

"It doesn't sound good, what name should I give you?"

"My name is Green Bean, my name is Red Bean, so she can be called Green Bean." Hongdou likes this little girl and hopes that she can be called a bean like her.

"Mung Bean... Yeah, that's good, let's call it Mung Bean." Huang Ye decided in an instant that she would create a series of beans in the future, and as long as they were beans, they would be her direct lineage.

"Thank you Miss for the name." Green Bean kowtowed excitedly. Like her sister Red Bean, both her names have the word "Dou'er" in them. She felt happy just thinking about it.

"Get up." Hongdou lifted her up and said, "Our young lady doesn't like this. As long as you do your job well, you won't be treated unfairly."

"Also, don't call me Sister Hongdou. I'm younger than you. Just call me Hongdou."

"Thank you Sister Hongdou for your guidance." Green Bean's eyes sparkled. Sister Hongdou was so majestic. She wanted to call her sister for the rest of her life.

"Forget it, let her call me sister." Huang Ye found it funny. Hongdou was the only older girl here, so it was reasonable for her to call her sister.

Green Bean got a bigger purse from Red Bean than those two maids and went out happily. Only then did Huang Ye invite Zhang to sit down.

"Auntie, I have heard everything about your situation from my grandfather. Since you want to stay, then come to my garden and help me look after it. Later..." The wet nurse who used to be in charge had gone back to the farm. Besides, she would need someone with capability to assist her in the future, and the wet nurse was obviously not suitable.

Huang Ye didn't say anything about the future, but Zhang knew what she meant, which was nothing more than getting married in the future, or starting a family later in life.

"You can leave anytime from now on, are you willing?"

"Of course I do. My daughter and I haven't repaid the young lady's kindness yet. The mansion has also given me such a bright future. We will never be able to repay her in this lifetime." Zhang wiped her tears excitedly.

In fact, when her son was adopted, Madam Li wanted to take Zhang to live at home, so that the two of them could be companions. However, Zhang insisted on going to the Huang Mansion to repay her gratitude. Madam Li also knew the grudges involved, and admired Zhang's gratitude, so she did not force her anymore.
