Chapter 484: Comparison (I)
After the four of Narcissus, Xia Cao, Qiu Ju, and Hanmei reached a certain verbal agreement, they dispersed. This time out of the peony room, no one cared about this matter anymore, but spent all their minds on how to increase their chances of being promoted to the second-class maid. Although the person who decided this fate was Zhao Tian'er, and none of them could control it, the four of them all had other ideas in their hearts. First of all, do your own job, perform more in front of the eldest lady to the greatest extent, and leave a good impression; Secondly, he wanted to strengthen communication and exchanges with Ning Xiang, after all, the other party could speak in front of Zhao Tianer; In the end, luck and providence still accounted for a certain component, after all, there were some situations that were completely unexpected.
After the breakup, the four of them each went back to their own room first, and their minds were thinking about what good things should be given to Ning Xiang, so that she could say good things for herself in front of the eldest lady. At the same time, Ning Xiang followed Zhao Tian's instructions and personally took out two high-quality Suzhou and Hangzhou brocades and handed them to the ugly girl.
The ugly girl who didn't plan to take it away like this always felt ashamed, so she left one of the two good brocades for Ning Xiang and one for Xiaoshuang. Ning Xiang, who knew what she meant, tried to refuse her sincerely several times to no avail, so she had to accept it. I didn't receive it in vain, so I found a legitimate reason at random, and gave the ugly girl a set of pure gold jewelry as a return gift. also understood what this meant, and sincerely excused the ugly girl twice, and felt her very persistence, so she didn't excuse herself anymore and accepted it calmly.
Xiaoshuang, who has such a good thing, is the same age as the flower bones, and naturally loves beauty. When she saw this kind of new and good silk, she happily accepted it directly. In their own opinion. There is nothing unacceptable for my sister to give her sister. is an ugly girl who likes her kind of non-hypocritical character, and knows that she really treats her as a sister, so why don't you really treat her as a sister? With a jewelry box in her hand, she left the ugly girl in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and she didn't want to go there. Instead, he went straight back to his room and sat down, and then he was alone in a daze.
personally sent away the ugly girl's incense from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and when she turned back, she didn't go to inspect all parts of the yard, but chose to go directly to the Xiaohua Hall to see Zhao Tian'er, after all, she knew that the eldest lady's heart was also a little messy. She empathized, not because she didn't know that Zhao Tianer was not a ruthless and hard-hearted woman, but that the matter had developed to the point where she had to send it. I walked into the small flower hall by myself, and I didn't see any maids in the room. But I saw the eldest lady with her eyes closed, her left hand supporting her head, and leaning back on the chair.
Zhao Tian'er, who heard the sound of footsteps, opened her eyes unhurriedly, and when she saw that it was her, she suddenly asked weakly: "Am I too harsh on peony?" ”
Ning Xiang, who came to the front, was not afraid of resurgence, and did not mean to fall into the well. Objectively stated his personal opinion: "You have done your best to Peony, and she is indeed too forgetful. This country has its own laws. There are house rules in the house. Even if she violates, it is inevitable that she will be punished like this. If you don't set an example for the whole government, if you don't do well, there will be a bigger turmoil. This rule was formulated by Lin Ruoxi herself, and her temperament, you are not unclear. The second lady will use the excuse that the plain text will become a dead letter and attack you. When the time comes. If it doesn't involve your rights and wrongs, it will be transferred and further upgraded, and it is extremely likely that the other party will come to our Xiaoxiang Pavilion to ask about the crime, which is really bad. ”
After listening to these words, Zhao Tian'er suddenly opened up a lot in her heart. He and Lin Ruoxi really want to go toe-for-tat. It is bound to alarm Li Wenxuan. In the end, he has to make the final decision. This situation is not something she wants to see, after all, if you don't take advantage, you will lose money, and the chance of winning is very small. It's a small matter to lose face by yourself, but it will be a big deal if you let the slaves and maids up and down the whole house have other thoughts and ideas.
According to the slave maid, the eldest lady should stop worrying about the peony, after all, this matter is over. vacating the position of this second-class maid is bound to make Narcissus and other little girls greedy. At this point in time, if they make some trouble with right and wrong, it will really affect your weight in the mind of the master. "I am extremely worried that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion will not stop again, and there will be an incident again, and I will tell what I think in my heart.
Zhao Tian'er and can she not know that this is a hidden danger that needs to be solved urgently? She didn't want to push her Xiaoxiang Pavilion to the cusp, after all, the other courtyards were calm and there was nothing going on. If one right or wrong appears one after another in her yard, it will inevitably make Li Wenxuan question his management ability.
Zhao Tian'er, who is absolutely unwilling to be cut by him and will not take the initiative to hand over power, even if she is not for herself, she has to think about her children, and she wants to listen to her advice, so she seems to ask casually: "In your opinion, who is the most suitable to take over the position of this second-class maid?" ”
"The slave didn't dare to say anything, after all, these four third-class maids have their own strengths and weaknesses. In terms of seniority, narcissus is the first, Xia Cao is second, Qiu Ju is second, and Hanmei is the last. If the eldest lady crosses the level and promotes other maids to be second-class maids, it will make Narcissus and others unconvinced. A small frost has made their hearts uncomfortable. Ning Xiang, who said it quite tactfully, stated an objective fact and said it impartially.
Zhao Tian'er, whose heart is like a mirror, can she understand and grasp some of the situations of the middle and senior maids below her? After all, they always revolve around themselves. I showed my understanding of the thoughts of Narcissus and others. Compare the heart to the heart, if it were her, she would also have that kind of thought. It stands to reason that Narcissus was promoted to a second-class maid to replace Peony, which is the most reasonable. However, Zhao Tianer is the one who knows that among the four third-class maids who know her, the one with the strongest and most decisive ability is Xia Cao, and the slave who has the most overall situation and the most potential for development is Hanmei, who doesn't like to talk much. As for Qiu Ju, she is a thoughtful and thoughtful maid. (To be continued......)
