"You go down first." Inside the gate of Xia's house, Xia Zhiqiu said to the maid behind him.

"Yes!" The maid curted her knees and went back to the backyard.

When Xia Zhiqiu saw her leave, he didn't go back to his room, but went directly to the residence of the official family at home.

When the housekeeper saw that the eldest lady was coming in person, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Miss, why are you here, if there is anything, you can just let the subordinates give orders." ”

"Nothing, just take a look." Xia Zhiqiu turned around, looked behind him, and saw that there was no one around, so he walked into the housekeeper's room.

The butler knew this, closed the door, turned around and asked with a smile, "What do you have to say?" ”

In the past, in order to make some things easier, Xia Zhiqiu would stuff some benefits into the housekeeper's hands from time to time, which would see Xia Zhiqiu come to the door in person, and the housekeeper's heart naturally understood very well.

Xia Zhiqiu took off the hairpin just now from her head, there is nothing she Xia Zhiqiu wants to do that she can't do, and there is no reason why she can't give it away if she wants to give it away. She put the hairpin on the table and said, "I see that the manpower in the house has been very tight recently, and the housekeeper will redistribute it if he has time. ”

The housekeeper understood her words, and only slowly responded: "Yes, I'll do it immediately!" ”

In the evening, Xia Zhiqiu told Xia Huaiqing about her trip to the silk weaving factory today, but she bypassed Xia Zhixue's refusal.

"Father, I listened to your words today and went to the silk weaving factory to have a look, only to find that my sister is really not easy, and it is very hard!" Xia Zhiqiu's face showed worry, and he said, "I just wanted to see if I could do something for her, but I really thought about it." ”

Xia Huaiqing was very happy when he heard that Xia Zhiqiu really went to the silk weaving factory after listening to his words, "Then tell me, what do you think?" ”

"The daughter suddenly thought that there have been only two girls around my sister, Lotus and Hibiscus, and it was just before, but now my sister is so hard and so busy, and the two of them inevitably have places that can't be taken care of, so I want to allocate a few more people to her yard, so that my sister's food and clothing are also more thoughtful, what do you say, father?"

"Well," Xia Huaiqing couldn't help but be relieved to see that the two sisters were so friendly now, and responded without thinking too much, "It's good that you can think like this, then I'll leave this matter to you, and pick a few sharp and discerning ones." ”

"Father, don't worry."

Xia Huaiqing was only happy, and didn't notice the smile on Xia Zhiqiu's face that had succeeded in his plan.

The silk weaving factory has been very busy recently, Xia Zhixue is busy and simply sleeps in the silk weaving factory, and rarely goes home, but after she saw Xia Zhiqiu today, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she was worried that she was secretly doing something small, so she hurried and hurried, and after she was busy, she went back to Xia Mansion.

Xia Zhiqiu had already returned to the house, and when Xia Huaiqing saw her coming back, she kept shouting at her and asking for warmth, but Xia Zhixue had no intention of chatting with him.

"Father, are you letting your sister go to the silk weaving factory today?"

Xia Huaiqing said with a smile: "Yes, I said yesterday that she should study with you well, but I didn't expect her to really go today, I don't usually know at home, your sister has become a lot better recently, and she knows how to feel sorry for people." "The end

Speaking of this, Xia Zhixue's heart snorted coldly, she Xia Zhiqiu has always known that she feels sorry for people, but she only feels sorry for herself.

"Just now she discussed with me, saying that you are working too hard in the silk weaving factory, and there are few people around you to take care of you, so she is thinking about finding a few more people for you."

"What?" Xia Zhixue was shocked, he would have forgotten his father with this kind of talk, but this kind of reason was useless here in Xia Zhixue, Xia Zhiqiu couldn't wait to drive himself out of the Xia family, and he was far away, how could he be so kind? It would be strange if there were no ghosts in this.

Xia Zhixue thought about it, still showing no trace on her face, and said: "Father, I don't need so many people to take care of me, I am already very good with lotus and hibiscus around me now, the two of them do things to my liking, I don't need others at all, let's not waste manpower, let them go to other yards." ”

Lotus and Fleur stood aside and nodded.

Xia Huaiqing said with a smile: "It's not to replace the lotus and hibiscus, just to add two more people to you, so that it can also reduce the burden on the two of them, I know that you usually don't like others to disturb, I have already told Zhiqiu, let her pick the most neat and discerning one from the house for you, and it will definitely not disturb you, you can rest assured, besides, this is your sister's heart, you don't refuse!" ”

"Father!" Xia Zhixue still wanted to say a few more words.

"Okay, don't talk about it, this matter has been arranged, it's too late to say it now, you have worked hard all day today, so go back and rest." Xia Huaiqing patted her on the shoulder and went back to the room.

Seeing this, Xia Zhixue said that it was useless, the matter was already like this, and she couldn't refuse at all.

"Girl, how is this good, this mansion is mixed, what if a subordinate with other thoughts comes in?" When Lotus saw Xia Huaiqing leaving, she said something in her heart.

"Don't worry, it's not necessarily what is going on, Xia Zhiqiu's careful thoughts are useless to me, you don't have to worry, just watch."

The housekeeper was extremely efficient, and within two days, Xia Zhixue had a few more servants in his yard.

On the first day they entered the courtyard, Xia Zhixue ordered Furong to call them to the room to give a lecture, Xia Zhixue looked at them one by one, everyone's expressions and eyes, every move fell in her eyes.

"I have called you to-day, and there is nothing else to do but tell you what I like, lest you not know what you have done wrong, or I may not inform you in advance."

"Girl, just say that we are now the people of your yard, and we can do whatever you say!" A maid has a faint smile on her face and is very sincere.

"Very good, in fact, there is nothing, I don't like gossip, since you are doing things in my yard, then stay in the yard in the future, don't go out to hang out, if there is something to tell the lotus and hibiscus, if you don't know in advance and go out, then don't blame me." In addition, I don't like to bother, usually there is a lotus hibiscus to serve me, you just do your own thing, try not to appear in front of me. ”

"Are you all clear about what the girl said?" Lotus asked everyone.

"Yes." The intermittent response, everyone thought, isn't this house arrest?

Xia Zhixue's gaze swept over everyone again, some of the subordinates were unconvinced when they heard her words, some were unhappy, some were disappointed, and there was only one person, whose expression was worried and nervous that could not be hidden.

Xia Zhixue stared at his expression tightly, the corners of her mouth curled, she guessed that what this person was worried about should be how to spread the news.
