Chapter 8 To Persuade, or to Be Persuaded
"What are the benefits of being a maid?"
Xie Mengxin knew that Wei Zi was selling Guanzi, but she still couldn't help but be curious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll she saw was that the maids were careful to please their masters, even if they were favored, they were just things in the eyes of their masters.
Even if the food and clothing are better than at home, the freedom is gone. Even if she was beaten to death by her master in a fit of anger, the family didn't dare to call the shots for her.
In comparison, it is much better to be an embroiderer.
"Have you ever heard of a phrase?" Wei Zi had already guessed that Xie Mengxin would not agree with her point of view, but she originally came with the idea of trying to persuade Xie Mengxin, so naturally she would not give up easily.
Seeing that Xie Mengxin had a little curiosity, or doubt, about what she said. Instead of being annoyed, she secretly rejoiced.
"If you have anything to say, say it all at once! Don't sell it out, but it makes me anxious. ”
Wei Zi guessed well, Xie Mengxin was indeed curious about what she hadn't said yet.
"I often hear a folk saying that is called 'I'd rather marry a maid than a little girl'. This is because the girls have stayed in the aristocratic homes with the rhyme for a long time, and their cultivation and upbringing are naturally different from the girls who grew up in the township. ”
"In a big family, even the maidservants are pampered. There will also be opportunities for them to come into contact with big people they have never seen in their previous lives, and even be able to hear some anecdotes about them. ”
"The maid who waits for the young lady naturally has a good relationship with the maid of the person who is good with the young lady. The personal maid still has a little face in front of the young lady. The more noble the status of the young lady they are waiting for, the higher their value in the eyes of outsiders. Some of them can even be similar to the daughters of petty officials. ”
Moreover, they are not a few who receive rewards alone. Enough to have a small amount of savings, and just spending it can take a lot of time. ”
Xie Mengxin looked at Wei Zi talking eloquently, couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked suspiciously.
"You haven't been a maid before, how do you know about this?"
Wei Zi's expression stiffened, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back.
She wants to cry without tears, it seems that people really can't get carried away, otherwise they will definitely be caught!
"Naturally, I deliberately investigated it because I wanted to be a tooth wife."
Wei Zi barely managed to keep his composure, but his words were no longer as confident as they were just now.
Xie Mengxin smiled thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask. However, she had a new consideration for the things Wei Zi proposed, and felt that it didn't sound as unreliable as before.
"Now, I believe that being a maid is really a promising thing, but I still don't think it's a good thing to be a tooth wife. Even if you do good deeds, they will spit on you, thankless, how can this be necessary? ”
"I think it's different from other Ya women, I plan to teach them things and let them be maids, and it will be over before they get married."
Wei Zi felt that her momentum was about to be overwhelmed by Xie Mengxin little by little, and she explained weakly.
"Of course, I still want to make money."
Regarding the matter of aura oppression, Xie Mengxin didn't feel much. After all, she is pampered and has been pampered for more than ten years, and her momentum is real.
"Then you have to have a point, right?" Xie Mengxin glanced at Wei Zi, put down the clothes in his hand unhurriedly, and turned to face her.
"Are you trying to make a little more money? Or do you want to help them a little more? ”
"I want to do both, can I?"
The corners of Wei Zi's mouth twitched down, and he glanced at Xie Mengxin weakly, and gently pinched his clothes behind his back with both hands.
Oh my God, don't you just want to be a toothwoman? How do you feel so sinful?
Why do you have to make a choice? Isn't it a good thing to have both?
"That's impossible."
Xie Mengxin snorted coldly, approached Wei Zi, and used the advantage of height to cause her great pressure.
She was really interested in Wei Zi's idea, and she also felt that Wei Zi's original intention was indeed to benefit girls from poor families.
But it's not okay to be a Ya Po, unless she doesn't sell people at all. Otherwise, even if the idea was good at the beginning, it would inevitably be tarnished by the big dye vat of Ya Po in the end, and she would do something that she might not want to do at first.
Xie Mengxin still has a good impression of Wei Zi, not only because she is good at embroidery, but also because she is the child of her first patient's family.
This is an indescribable feeling, anyway, she doesn't want Wei Zi to go astray.
"You may think that what you are doing is a good thing, but have you ever thought that the fate of the maid is in the hands of the master."
"There are too many ways to calculate a maid. In the end, not only do you not fulfill your wishes, but you may even harm more girls. ”
Xie Mengxin's words were like a hammer to give Wei Zi a heavy blow, making her face turn white in an instant.
Is your thinking really wrong?
But I want to help them!
I just don't want so many girls to do it again! Is it impossible to give them a chance?
Xie Mengxin saw that Wei Zi was depressed, and his face turned pale. A little unbearable, she reached out and wanted to pat Wei Zi's shoulder to comfort her.
Wei Zi raised her head suddenly, her eyes were bright and scary, staring directly at Xie Mengxin, startling her.
"You are..."
Xie Mengxin eased her senses, reached out to hold Wei Zi's wrist, and checked her pulse.
"I'm not sick!" Wei Zi's eyes regained their brightness, and he shook Xie Mengxin's hand with a smile, "I thought of an idea, I can open a maid academy, teach them things, and then match them to the homes of various dignitaries." ”
"I didn't think you were sick, I thought you were crazy."
Xie Mengxin looked at Wei Zi in a daze, in disbelief.
Although she didn't want Wei Zi to be a tooth wife, she didn't expect Wei Zi's idea to become more and more outrageous.
"Do you need to open an academy to teach embroidery?"
The corners of Wei Zi's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Of course I don't just teach them embroidery, there are others." ”
"What else would you do?"
Xie Mengxin stared at her vigorously, and the look in her eyes revealed was disbelief.
Being able to practice embroidery to such a profound realm at a young age is already against the sky, right?
She also said that she would know something else?
The devil believes.
"Ahem." Wei Zi blushed in shame, but he didn't lower his head. She held Xie Mengxin's hand in front of her chest with both hands, her eyes were eager, and her tone was sincere.
"So, join me! Teach them your medical skills as well, and let's set up a maid academy together! ”
"You're crazy, I'm not crazy!"
Xie Mengxin shook off Wei Zi's hand, took a few steps back, and looked at her in disbelief.
"You actually asked me to be a teacher for the maid? It's impossible! I came out to be a doctor, which is already the bottom line of the family. If I am willing to degenerate to be a teacher for a maid, I am afraid that my mother will lock me up in the ancestral hall! ”
"It's not for the maid to be a teacher, it's for the majority of poor girls to be a teacher! Don't you want to save the world? This is the best opportunity to do so! ”
Wei Zi stared at Xie Mengxin with shining eyes, as if she was a big piece of gold, which made Xie Mengxin feel uncomfortable.
"You don't fool me there, it's all called the maid academy, why aren't you a teacher for the maid!"
Xie Mengxin pursed her lips disapplausively, Wei Zi's little trick couldn't fool her.
Although it does sound interesting.
"Besides, since you want to be a maid, what are you doing studying medicine? It's useless. ”
"Because what we want to cultivate is not an ordinary maid!" Wei Zi stared at Xie Mengxin with a smile, his eyes flowing, flashing with a smart light.
Although Xie Mengxin was quite indifferent, Wei Zi still sensitively felt a loose attitude from her words.
"If you think about it, there are still very few female doctors now. If the maid knows how to heal, even a little bit can solve some of the hostess's minor illnesses and pains. How attractive is this for nobles who keep their illnesses secret? ”
"To put it mildly, although you are a good doctor, people generally don't choose to let you heal. Look at your medical hall, there are many people, except for those who buy medicine, there are few cures. ”
"To put it mildly, if you want to rely on your own medical skills to heal and save people, I'm afraid it's impossible. But if you teach them medical skills, and they save people, doesn't that mean that you save them? ”
"The result is the same anyway, so why care about the process?"
Xie Mengxin frowned and thought about it carefully, and after a while, her brows stretched and she sighed softly.
"I have to say, your mouth is quite suitable for being a matchmaker, and you can say that you are alive if you are dead."
Wei Zi was overjoyed when she heard this, and touched her hair bun with a smile. Xie Mengxin's attitude is obviously that she has agreed.
"However, can't the name of the academy be called Maiden Academy? That makes people listen to it, and they don't feel like they want to go in and sign up. ”
Wei Zi nodded with a smile, turned around confidently, her voice was very brisk, but Xie Mengxin heard her words very clearly.
"I've thought about this for a long time. Although the maid is not free, she belongs to the untouchables. But there are still many people who define her between the ladies and the little jasper. ”
"That's why our academy is called the Jade Maiden."
"Jade Maiden? Sounds like a little bit. ”
Xie Mengxin pondered for a while, and her eyes lit up, this name didn't sound good at first glance, but it actually contained a lot of meanings. Anyway, it must be much better than the maid academy.
"That's good, but I don't think two courses are enough, right? Since we are going to open an academy, we must always make our gems transform better! ”
Wei Zi was dumbfounded, and couldn't keep up with Xie Mengxin's pace for a while.
Didn't you just oppose it? Why did you have to discuss the establishment of an academy so suddenly? Looking at this attitude, I am about to be more positive than myself.
Should the leap of thinking be so big? This made her feel no sense of accomplishment at all, but a little at a loss.
Xie Mengxin looked at Wei Zi's stunned appearance, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red. She coughed twice before she said, "You have an idea!" Anyway, I'm willing to run the Jade Maiden with you, so you have to come up with some rules! ”
