Chapter 375: On seniority
Li Wenxuan, who didn't have a full dinner, ordered Taohong to ask the kitchen to prepare for himself again. She took the order, not only was she a lot more down-to-earth in her heart, but she was also very happy that the old man could come to sit with them and take a look, after all, Nuan Xiangwu had his appearance, so that spider webs would not grow, otherwise the slaves and maids here would have no status.
Soon, there was a new table of wine and food here. Although Qiu Yue was already full, she didn't mind accompanying Li Wenxuan to eat a few more bites. It wasn't until he was full of food and drink, and in the process of sitting down to drink tea, he talked about each other's considerate words, and it was logical that he spent the night here.
On this day, the twelve little girls who were able to advance to the final can be said to have gotten up early before dawn. With the help of their respective families, they all dressed up appropriately. Dressed in new clothes and neatly dressed, they were excited and proud in their hearts. Even if he compares this scene, he is ranked last, and he can stay in the Li Mansion on duty. For this reason, they are a little more relaxed, but they are not relaxed, they want to go further, and they want to strive for the first place.
According to the specified time, the twelve girls, without exception, all appeared in front of the gate of the Li Mansion on time. After some roll call, checking, and necessary explanations in advance, it was only after the peony was personally brought into the house. This time, they didn't go to the room outside the second gate, inside the west side of the door, but followed behind Peony and stepped into the second door all the way.
Walking here, it was the first time they opened their eyes, not only saw all kinds of pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and strange stones, but also saw a lot of unrecognizable rare birds and beasts. If it's not winter inside. The twelve girls are the same and think that they will see a beautiful scenery full of flowers and spring. However, they didn't feel any regrets, thinking that there would be opportunities in the future, after all, they were about to be on duty here.
Familiar with the road, it can be said that you can close your eyes and know where the road is. It was brought them into the courtyard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I asked the four of them to stand in three rows, not to talk to each other, not to look around, not to make a fuss, and so on, and so on, and the rules of the house were simply explained to the twelve people in person. Then she turned around and went to the living room of the main house to tell her mother.
Zhao Tian'er, who learned that they were already waiting outside, sat on the bench of her main seat and said calmly: "Narcissus, Xia Cao." Qiu Ju, Han Mei, you go to Lanxin Pavilion, Qiu Shuang Zhai, Nuan Xiangwu, and Lu Wuyuan respectively, and invite the four sisters to come to me. The four of them, standing on either side of the room, said yes. And he departed.
A stick of incense in less time, Lin Ruoxi. Su Meiniang, Qiu Yue, and Chu Hanlu entered the main house of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion one after another, found the position where they should sit, and sat down directly. Lin Ruoxi on the left is opposite Su Meiniang on the right, and Qiuyue on the second on the left is naturally in front of Chu Hanlu on the right. Behind the four of them stood their own personal maids, Lu'er. Winter incense, pink, small green. In addition to these people, the ugly girl had already come to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before the twelve girls came in. As a bystander and witness, she and Ning Xiang stood on the left and right sides of Zhao Tian'er.
Narcissus. Xia Cao, Qiu Ju, and Han Mei were each followed by a little maid, holding the tea cup in the tray in both hands, and appeared in the main house. Then through the hands of the four third-class maids, Lin Ruoxi, Su Meiniang, Qiu Yue, and Chu Hanlu put their favorite tea on the coffee table next to them, and also made a slightly shallow blessing to the housewife in the house they faced, did not talk much, and walked silently to lead the little maids out of the house.
"Sister Tian'er, you really train them well, so that the slaves and maids in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are more and more well-behaved, and they are not lost to the slaves and maids in the princely palace outside." Su Meiniang, who was smiling, didn't deliberately pat herself on the back.
"I haven't done anything. All of this is due to Ningxiang. Zhao Tianer, who didn't take credit, told the truth.
Ning Xiang, who was standing on her right, didn't know that the credit of the Dao was the master's mother's, and the fault was his own reason, so he first bowed on his knees, and did not dare to pretend to be humble: "It is not the credit of the slave and maid, but the master's leadership." ”
"Well, you don't have to be overly modest, after all, there is still credit. Your master is not the kind of woman who is jealous and intolerant. Who in the house doesn't know that your incense is the shadow of my sweet sister! Su Meiniang, who had a lot of smiles on her face, picked up the tea on the coffee table, didn't drink it, took it in her left hand, and said without hurry.
Smiling Ning Xiang, she naturally liked her very much in her heart to call herself Zhao Tian'er's shadow, after all, it was enough to prove that she was the first loyal servant of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The peony that was still in the house, when she heard Su Meiniang's words, her face didn't react too much, but she was already unhappy in her heart. thought that at the beginning, she was the personal maid by the side of the housemother, but as the restlessness in her heart intensified later, she did not recognize the situation clearly, and she couldn't wait to express her admiration directly to Li Wenxuan, which caused Zhao Tianer to deliberately alienate her.
took advantage of this moment, he had already won Zhao Tianer's trust, and took the initiative to act as Li Zimo's nursing mother's incense, and with this one credit, he overwhelmed the peony and became the new personal maid of the main mother. Subsequently, he was diligent and conscientious, and he could be said to have gone all the way up, and as soon as he was promoted by Zhao Tianer, he immediately became the chief steward of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and the second-floor master of the house. The people, the money, the goods, and everything else here have to go through her hands. In the face of her long-standing dissatisfaction, festival and hostile peony, she dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but from time to time she had to turn against her, after all, she entered the Li family earlier than Ning Xiang, and relying on her qualifications, her mentality was completely unbalanced.
Peony finally waited for the vacancy of the position of personal maid again, and thought about restoring the former scenery of seniority, but unexpectedly his housewife came to an undecided. Although the authority of the personal maid beside Zhao Tian'er is not as good as in the past, it is better than the second-class maid in all aspects. Once this becomes her personal maid, then the first thing will be to be promoted to the first rank above the level. The basic treatment of this class of maids is much better than that of second-class maids, which will inevitably cause differences in other aspects. The most important thing is the status and right to speak in the government. Just like Dong Xiang and herself, she is a second-class maid, but because she is a personal maid, she who used to be half a level shorter than herself suddenly became half a level higher than herself.
