Chapter 258: Manpower is scarce
An old ancestor of the Bai family has not forced people away, and now there is another Mrs. Wu, as well as Miss Bai Liu of the Guogong Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan can't help but feel a headache for this news.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan, she was silent for a long time, just slightly wrinkled and beautiful, Xiao Jinwen immediately felt anxious, and then instructed again:
"This Mrs. Wu is not ordinary, after all, my sister has been in Beijing for more than a month, I'm afraid I don't know much about her, but you should know that Hua Guogong is marrying Princess Cheng'an, the sister of today's saint, marrying the princess is a supreme honor, who can be equal to the princess and work together, but this Mrs. Wu was raised to be a flat wife, as half a wife, almost on an equal footing with Princess Cheng'an, now you should know how extraordinary the other party's means are."
There are indeed not a few nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty who have always married royal princesses, such as Qian Ming, who died, although he was a marquis, he could marry Princess Huayang.
However, because the princess is the proud daughter of the sky, after marrying and returning home, not only must she be respectful, but she must not let other women in the back house bully the princess, otherwise it will not be too unreasonable to take the royal family in her eyes.
Therefore, there must be concubines who have always married princesses, but they elevate concubines to become equal wives and work with princesses.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou, it is true that only Mrs. Wu of the Huaguo Mansion has done this, and it has been unanimously recognized by the Bai family, and even Princess Cheng'an herself nodded in acquiescence, saying that this matter is almost a miracle, which is not an exaggeration.
can do things that ordinary people can't do, which in itself shows that Mrs. Wu must have the ability to stand tall and control the national mansion.
As for Xiao Jinwen's kindness in coming to tell her, Xiao Jinxuan naturally thanked her and received the cousin's kind reminder.
After everything that should be said, Xiao Jinwen has also been sitting in Forsythia Courtyard for half an hour, so she got up and prepared to say goodbye, and seeing Xiao Jinxuan say thank you, she hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"Sister Xuan, don't be so polite, to be honest, the people of the Bai family occupy the magpie's nest and interfere in the affairs of my Xiao family, I am also annoyed by this, but I don't have your cousin's ability, my sister is just a boudoir woman who is good at writing and ink, and I can't help my cousin in dealing with the Bai family, so I can only tell my sister what I know in these little things, if I can really be of some use to you, then I will be satisfied."
Xiao Jinwen has a traditional personality, not only elegant and dignified, but also extremely protective of the family's face, so she has long been dissatisfied with the Bai family's practices.
But just as she said herself, Xiao Jinwen has always been quiet and beautiful, and asked her to kill the Bai family's subordinates with a rod like Xiao Jinxuan, and confront the old lady, she didn't say what she did, she just didn't think about it.
So knowing that she can't help in big things, Xiao Jinwen feels that she is also a child of the Xiao family, how can she not help Xiao Jinxuan at this time?
Therefore, she was willing to wade into troubled waters, and she also came to tell Mrs. Wu's identity and background, just to be able to do her part.
And besides, Xiao Jinxuan, although Xiao Jinwen did not come to tell her, I am afraid that Wen Xin, who stayed in the Forsythia Academy, will definitely pay attention to the movements of the Shuai Mansion, or it will not be long before the news will be returned to her.
But this cousin, who did not shy away from telling her heart directly, Xiao Jinxuan still appreciated it, so she personally sent Xiao Jinwen to the gate of the hospital, and the two cousins said goodbye to each other, which can be regarded as separation.
And when Xiao Jinxuan was free and returned to her room, Wen Xin also came in with her, and when she saw that there were no outsiders around, she immediately said:
"Jinxuan, this Miss Jinwen is a person with some temperament, she is not afraid of offending the Bai family, and she specially came to tell you about Mrs. Wu, in fact, even if she doesn't come, I want to wait for Meng Gongzi to leave, and talk to you about this matter, now I have saved this trouble, and what Miss Jinwen said is more detailed than what I hastily investigated, and she really helped us a lot in this matter."
Xiao Jinxuan, who was drinking tea with her head down, couldn't help but nod when she heard the words, and then said in a condensed voice:
"On the day I returned home, I blamed Aunt Li heavily, so Mrs. Bai called me over, if it wasn't for Jin Chuan's mention, I would have known nothing about this old lady. Now this Mrs. Wu, although Wen Xin immediately went to investigate her details after the other party passed over, but the results obtained were far from being as detailed as Cousin Jinwen knew. ”
Relying on other people's reminders, it is not a way after all, these two times it was a fluke to have Jin Chuan and Xiao Jinwen to help.
But if someone from the Bai family comes next time, or someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion comes out to make things difficult, everyone will bully them, but Xiao Jinxuan still doesn't know the origin of the other party, so she will be quite passive.
As for the point mentioned by Xiao Jinxuan, Wen Xin also knew that this was indeed a problem, but now in the Forsythia Academy, although there is no shortage of people to serve Xiao Jinxuan, he is the only one who can really go out of the house to do things.
Although he is very capable now, Wen Xin's energy is bound to be limited, and he can't do everything at all, and taking Mrs. Wu as an example, he can investigate most of the details of the people as soon as the other party comes to the Shuai Mansion, which is actually very efficient.
However, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was not very satisfied, Wen Xin immediately apologized and blamed herself:
"Jinxuan's incident is indeed a bad deal for me, next time I promise, when any stranger appears around you, I will definitely take the first step to grasp the identity of the other party, so that you don't lose the sense of proportion because you are not familiar with the other party."
But hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan shook her head, and then motioned for Wen Xin to sit down, and after pouring a cup of tea for the other party with her own hands, she said with a helpless smile:
"When I said that, I didn't blame you for doing things badly, but as we have been in Beijing for a long time, when there are more and more people to deal with, this problem of insufficient manpower has also been exposed, and if you want to deal with the current things, it is no longer Wen Xin that you can do it alone, so I think it may be time for us to cultivate some of our own people."
Don't look at Xiao Jinxuan's side now, in addition to Wen Xin, there are also red spirits to protect each other, and Zhuxin Baizhu, these absolutely trustworthy henchmen are serving on the side.
However, in addition to being in charge of dispatching inside and outside the Wenxin Mansion, Chi Ling couldn't easily leave the other party because he wanted to protect Xiao Jinxuan's safety.
As for Zhuxin and Baizhu, one is more than loyal, but his scheming is really insufficient. And the other one, in addition to being proficient in pharmacology, is okay with guarding the Forsythia Academy, but the courage of the real faction to go out to Baizhu is a little lacking.
So after thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan realized that there is really a shortage of available people around her now, and what she has to face at the moment is not a battle between women in a deep house, the Bai family not only pesters her in order to support Xiao Jinyu.
Even the mother of a country, the prince of the dynasty, has become an enemy on her opposite side when she arrives at the Xue family's mansion.
In order to cope with the huge pressure coming from all directions, Xiao Jinxuan must have sufficient manpower, otherwise she will not be able to cope with it sooner or later.
And now the slowness of the investigation and the lack of information are a major hidden danger exposed by the lack of manpower, Xiao Jinxuan knows that if she doesn't make up for this shortcoming quickly, then what awaits her will be more distress and trouble.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jinxuan's closed eyes slowly opened, and a trace of calm and calm expression couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
"Wen Xin, I thought about it for a while, although it is indeed an urgent matter to cultivate my own manpower, but I value the word loyalty more than the quality of my ability, so this person is not too many, and it has something to do with the nobles of the family, we can't use it, it is best that this manpower can be cultivated from ordinary people, even if it is a person in the rivers and lakes, as long as the background is innocent and the relationship is simple, that is our first choice of the best goal."
Wen Xin called Jingshi, first ran a façade business alone, and later entered the Shuaifu, and he was also in charge of everything, so he is now different from what he used to be, judging the situation and focusing on the overall situation, and his mind has been trained.
Therefore, as soon as Wen Xin heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, he nodded approvingly, the relationship between the nobles of the family is complicated, and there are many parties.
If the people they choose have anything to do with these forces, this will be a hidden danger, and this kind of person with a background relationship, the incidence of rebellion and abandonment of the Lord is bound to be the highest.
And when I heard Xiao Jinxuan, it was not recommended that this person was selected from ordinary people, and the first thing to value was loyalty, and immediately Wen Xin's eyes lit up, and then said with a suggestive tone:
"Jinxuan, if you don't suggest it, the manpower we recruit must be cultivated from scratch, I know that there is a type of person who best meets your requirements, and as long as you are willing to give them a chance, you don't have to worry about it at all."
With a joy in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly asked Wen Xin, who was the other party talking about, as for cultivating from scratch, if it takes some time, you can get a group of loyal subordinates, then this life is still worth investing.
And Wen Xin didn't delay, and immediately showed a trace of melancholy, and his tone suddenly became a little lonely and said:
"Jinxuan, you should still remember that when you first saw me, how depressed I was, and in fact, there are many people like me who have to do everything every day in order to eat a bite of food. In fact, my condition was quite good at the beginning, at least I still have a home, and a mother depends on each other, but many teenagers and girls, or even younger, can only gather in the broken temple, especially in the cold weather like now, almost every few days someone will die of illness and starvation, they will be abandoned by others, no one cares about a group of ants, and even a good life is a luxury for them. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes had narrowed slightly, she still didn't understand, the group of people who must be loyal to Wen Xin was referring to were abandoned children and orphans, this kind of group of people who were more difficult and miserable than begging for food.
The so-called abandoned children and orphans refer to a group of people who have been abandoned by their parents but are still alive.
And this kind of person will generally have such a bumpy fate, or because when she was born, her family regarded her as a baby girl, because she was patriarchal, so she raised and raised a son, and the family could not afford the food and clothing of multiple children, so the daughter would be abandoned and become an orphan.
And the abandoned children are even more unbearable, many of their biological mothers are mostly ** women, so their birth is disgusted and disgusted by everyone.
When they are young, many miserable children are reduced to prostitution, and guests with special hobbies enjoy it, although they devote themselves to the body of men, they have to be flattered like a woman in the fireworks place, and they are bullied and humiliated, and they are miserable, and no one even treats them as human beings at all.
