Chapter 84: Rejoicing
Glad
Because of the words of painting lotus, Shen Shi remembered again, "Speaking of which, this lotus branch and lotus leaf is also about to go out, you look at the second-class maid in this courtyard, which one looks more stable?" ”
Hualian glanced at An Cheng and said with a smile, "It's getting late today, and my wife thinks about this, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." ”
"Why don't you go to bed first? Let's talk about it tomorrow? ”
Shen naturally saw Hua Lian's gaze, and just smiled, "You are too careful, although Sister Cheng is young and doesn't need to learn this now, but what is the hindrance for her to listen to it?" ”
"You only feel sorry for her, afraid that she will be spoiled after listening to it."
An Cheng also smiled, "Auntie just say it, I just want to listen to the fun." ”
After hearing that Shen and An Cheng both said this, it was not easy to refuse, so after thinking about it, she asked Shen, "I don't know if my wife wants to choose from the people who came with Shuzhong...... Or do you want to have a child from our Jingli family? ”
"There are pros and cons to this......"
"Those over there in Shuzhong know that the wife has a temperament, and they are naturally more handy in serving the wife, but they are not familiar with the affairs of our capital."
"If my wife wants to discuss something, it's inconvenient."
"If you pick it from Beijing, I'm afraid that my temperament and wife will have to be sharpened, but I know more about our house."
"The eldest girl is going out this year, I'm afraid that the family affairs will be handed over to our second room, and the people in my wife's hands should be more familiar and competent."
"If you say that you pick one of the same, then the four maids who follow the wife, there are three lotus seeds and lotus stamen from Shuzhong, and the in-laws are all separated from this side, and there is only one in Beijing, I am afraid that things will not be able to be supported in the future."
Shen pondered, "Then what do you mean, it's better to pick two of our sons in the capital?" ”
Hualian smiled and waved her hand, "The slave doesn't mean anything." ”
"I just want to say all the pros and cons, and the next few words about having a child at home...... There's a reason for that. ”
"There are two vacancies around my wife, everyone knows that while the Chinese New Year is coming, the slave and maid's family will come and go this year, and they don't have to buy New Year's goods, and it is a fat year."
"The slave is a solid-eyed person, and since she has received the gift, she has to say a few words, so after all, how can you get an idea...... It's up to the wife to see and decide. ”
Shen couldn't help laughing, and threw his usual veil of dark patterns of entwined branch lotus onto the painting lotus, "You have this mouth!" ”
"You have said all the good things."
Hualian picked up the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground, and saluted briskly, "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Xie for your reward." ”
Shen shook his head angrily and laughed, ignored her anymore, and looked at An Cheng instead, "What do we say Sister Cheng?" ”
"Should this be picked from the family in the capital? Or are you looking for the people we brought from Shu? ”
An Cheng was actually thinking about it when he was painting Lian, and after listening to Shen's question, he said his idea, "Hmm...... Isn't it okay to have one on one side? ”
Although the painting lotus said that it may not be able to be opened...... But it's better to be safe.
As he spoke, An Cheng looked at Shen's face.
Shen Shi smiled when he heard this, "This is a Shoucheng idea, if you don't handle it properly, it's okay to do it." ”
An Cheng listened to Shen's meaning, and it didn't seem like he recognized her, so he pursed his lips and asked, "Mrs. thinks it's not good?" ”
Shen asked An Cheng rhetorically, "If you do this, three of the four first-class maids around my mother, three of them are from Shuzhong, and one is from Beijing, wouldn't it be easy to create estrangement?" ”
"You also heard that Hualian said that the selection of people now is to prepare for the housekeeper in the future."
"If the people around you can't be like iron buckets, then there will be more trouble."
Even if the family is upright and most of the servants are honest, it cannot be said that everyone is like this.
Butler, who hasn't encountered a slippery one? Let's see if you dare to jump out, and if you can find out.
"Then ......" An Cheng couldn't make up his mind.
Shen didn't force her to figure it out, only waved his hand to let Hualian retreat, "You will give me a list of those people from Shuzhong tomorrow." ”
This is going to use the people in Shu.
Seeing that An Cheng didn't seem to understand much, Shen patiently explained to her, "The most important thing in employing people is loyalty. ”
"In our family, the original family in Beijing had a child, and the relationship was complicated, and the in-laws behind it didn't know which master in the house was pulling."
"Although I'm not afraid, but my mother and sister-in-law have always treated our second room very well, so why bother to use their people as rafts?"
"Sweep their face in vain."
"Those subordinates may not be able to do things for us in earnest, it is better to use our own people, they are from Shuzhong, and they have nothing to do with this capital, if they want to get ahead, only I will look down on them."
"Naturally, when I am in charge, I will do everything and stand firm."
"If you say that you are not familiar with Beijing, it doesn't matter, there is still half a year for horizontal and vertical, what should be learned, what should be recognized, just to see who has the ability, who is fishing in troubled waters."
"Sister Cheng, you remember, if you use people, loyalty is the most important, and nothing good about him can compare to this."
"He is faithful, and his ability is for you, otherwise, the more shrewd and capable he is, the more evil it will be to you."
An Cheng nodded, remembering Shen's words sentence by sentence, "I know." ”
Shen saw An Cheng like this, and held her in his arms helplessly for a while, "I don't know who you have with this temperament......"
"Your father doesn't have to say that he dares to do anything, just say that I'm not cowardly, Sister Cheng, how do you act, there is always a sense of not seeking merit but seeking no fault?"
"Sister Cheng, you are the young daughter of our An family, this is your confidence, you should be more generous in handling things, you have to say what you should say, and dare to do what you should do."
"Don't be afraid of mistakes, if you are wrong, someone will carry it for you, not to mention, if you don't do well, you have to get by, and you won't have a chance to change it, right?"
"You're a ...... It would be nice if Sister Shu'er was even with you......"
An Cheng was silently hugged by Shen, only glad that Shen couldn't see her current expression.
She knows her flaws - the failed social interaction in her previous life makes her dare not say or do more often, for fear of embarrassing others and embarrassing herself.
I'd rather let others take the lead and shrink as much as I can.
And after she came here, she carefully hid her problems, and there was an age there, and most people only felt that the ninth girl was quieter.
It was the first time that she was told to put it bluntly, but in fact, she didn't dare.
It has nothing to do with identity, she is just afraid, afraid that she will behave inappropriately, that she will speak inappropriately, make others embarrassed, and cause trouble for others.
In the end, I hate her - even if she has studied hard and changed, even if her identity allows her to easily stand on the upper hand in relationships, the failures of her previous life are still with you.
But Shen told her not to be afraid, not to hide.
An Cheng slowed down for a while before daring to raise her eyes to look at Shen, her gaze was still soft, but An Cheng didn't doubt at all that Shen would change it for her after pointing out her problem.
Shen's pride, maternal love, and upbringing will not allow her to have a daughter who "does not dare".
An Cheng was very happy.
