97 Gift-giving is also a matter of skill, as is the management of slaves
In fact, although Li Xiao said that he wanted to go to Datong, Shanxi with Zhiyi, he only stayed in Fangfu for half an hour. Therefore, Rushan's eighteen martial arts that she studied and practiced hard did not come in handy. Even when Li Xiao came to Fangfu and when he left, it was not very clear. After she finally heard about this, Li Xiao had already left Fangfu and lived in a separate garden in Qizhou City.
Thinking that the great opportunity was lost in vain, I heard that Ruqing broke a lot of tea sets one after another, Aunt Zhang was so distressed that she shed tears, and couldn't bear to reprimand Rushan Yitong--- In recent years, Zhang's life has become worse and worse, not that Fang Jinglan treats her harshly, but that the mother of the house, Li, is too serious, and Fang Jinglan began to move towards the Qing official, and it is no longer like in previous years, how much porcelain can be broken and can be repaired immediately.
Zhang's days in Fangfu are definitely good, but they are indeed gone from the luxurious days in the past, so they are resentful. And here, under the old lady's control, Ruqing's living standard has greatly improved.
Knowing that she has her own separate yard, the house is much wider, but in this way, the people around her are stretched, and the girls sent by the Li family in the past are not suitable for the new environment for a while, and the old lady is in charge again, and a few girls from Zhuangzi are sent into the house to serve Ruqing. Aunt Zhu also gave her the second-class girl Yin'er next to her.
In this way, in addition to Hu's mother and Shen's mother-in-law, Agarwood, and Linglong's two big girls, Ruqing also has Juqing, Yuqin, Yin'er, and four rough girls, Ruqing are named Peach, Green Willow, Lanyin, and Qingluan. This adds up to eleven subordinates.
Ruqing felt that the eleven subordinates had seriously overstaffed the service, thinking that she would have to do everything by herself in modern times, in this ancient world, it was indeed comfortable to live a life of clothes and food to open her mouth, but if she continued like this, she would definitely seriously degenerate to the point of being mentally handicapped and having zero ability to take care of herself.
Zhao Yiman's son Ning'er is so famous because he has a great revolutionary mother. However, what everyone doesn't know is that the descendants of this revolutionary hero are super mentally retarded. The state ** is very preferential to the descendants of the revolution, and after spending a lot of money to raise the descendants of this hero, they arranged a leisurely but easy job, but later found out that the descendants of this hero have zero ability to take care of themselves. Thinking of Ms. Zhao Yiman's sacrifice for the revolution, ** hired a nanny to wait for him, but what was the final result? Pity our martyr Zhao Yiman, her precious only son, under the preferential treatment of **, but only lived to be in his fifties, and never married a wife in his life. If she had known underground, she would have jumped up in anger, and perhaps she should have strangled him to death in the cell, so as not to embarrass her and ruin her reputation.
Ruqing euphemistically put forward her thoughts, and the old lady stared at her for a long time, as if she had seen a monster. Ruqing was embarrassed, and said in a whisper: "Grandma, our Fang Mansion also has so much family background, Daddy is supporting Nuoda's family alone, and it is really hard, granddaughter can't share worries and relieve labor, but if you can save it, just leave the agarwood Linglong and the two of them will have it, and the rest, grandma will still be the master to send them back." Ruqing has another worrying thought, she only has two or two months of silver every month, and there are very few opportunities to earn extra money, there are more people now, and this reward is also a problem, can't she take all the monthly silver to reward people, right? It's also a big loss. It's all a performance of a swollen face and a fat man, so she doesn't do it.
Ruqing's idea of exchanging labor for money made the old lady's eyes worse. The old lady is a figure who exchanges money for labor, she pulled Ruqing in front of her, and explained to her bitterly: "Do you know how everyone got their girlfriends? It wasn't shouted out of thin air, it was cultivated. How to respect it? It is to let the subordinates serve intimately, first to cultivate the body, then to cultivate the sex, and then to cultivate the affection, for a long time, the luxury of everyone's ladies is cultivated in this way. Got it? ”
Ruqing suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, but, didn't that cost a lot of money? Is it worth it?
The old lady asked Cangtian speechlessly, thinking that she was simply playing the piano to the cow, oh, no, it was Xiucai who met the soldier, and she couldn't explain it clearly.
Seeing that the old lady's face turned black and seemed to be angry again, Xia Lin's family hurriedly pulled Ruqing aside and told Ruqing in detail with her full patience,
"When a girl is in the boudoir, she usually has to put enough subordinates to serve, firstly for respect, and secondly, to let the girl learn to manage the slaves. The girl should not underestimate these subordinates, manage it well, the girl is twice the result with half the effort, sit back and relax, like a tiger with wings, if the management is not good, it will be hard to break the money, and everything is troubled. If it is heavy, it will affect the head of the family and never turn over. Again, if you can't even manage the people around you well, then you will marry into your in-law's family in the future, so what will you do? Do you understand? ”
If Xia Lin's family-like explanation Ruqing still doesn't understand, it is estimated that she will have to break the wall herself.
Ruqing finally understood the real reason why the little girl of the fourth grade official had to put so many subordinates around her, and admired the old lady's foresight, so she continued to live a comfortable life of "a group of slaves" with peace of mind.
It's just that under the service of so many people, Ruqing couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to the old lady with a dirty face, crying and saying, "Grandma, these girls are taller than me, what can I do?" ”
The old lady seemed to have expected such a thing, and said without raising her eyebrows: "You are the master, but you can't take out the master's money, who can blame you?" Do you blame my wife? ”
Ruqing froze, as if she had thought of something, she explained in a whisper, "It's not that I don't want to show the majesty of the master, except for Agarwood and Linglong who can listen to me, the others are not subject to my control, Juqing and Siqin are from the wife, and a few other girls ---"
The old lady put down the teacup and looked at Ruqing.
Ruqing bit her lip, she suddenly understood the old lady's intentions, she was just exercising her.

All the masters of the Fang Mansion know that Zhiyi is highly appreciated by the generals of the Zhu Kingdom, and he is friendly with the prince of King Jing, and he believes that the future is limitless. On the day of Zhiyi's departure, the brothers and sisters were all sent outside the gate of Fangfu.
Ruqing did not participate in the farewell scene this time, because she gave the gift out as early as the night before, yes, she slept hard today, and then, Linglong provided Ruqing with a dose of gossip news in her boring boudoir career.
Zhiyi is indeed a must in Fangfu, and in the touching parting scene outside the gate of Fangfu, he still has a coffin face, and the deep meaning of Zhilian Rushan and the Li family is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
What's even worse is that even the fatherly advice of his own son Fang Jinglan and the pile of silver tickets sent by Yin Yin were also rejected, not to mention the gifts given by Li and others, all of which were rejected and not said, but also educated.
"I'm going to Shanxi to make a contribution, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and it's a burden to carry these useless things with me."
"I don't know what we're all about. Is it possible to waste money on the sake of such vain? ”
Linglong learned Zhiyi's tone, although she didn't look like it, it was enough for Ruqing to laugh for a while.
After laughing, Agarwood said lightly: "The girl is still careful, and she gave the gift last night, otherwise wouldn't she be busy in vain?" ”
Ruqing shook her head, "No, no, the second brother is not the kind of person who likes the two-sleeved breeze," In fact, Zhiyi and Zhili have the same virtue, they are honest and selfless on the surface, but in fact, they are dark and love to take advantage. However, what they respect is that they must accept the gift and they are satisfied, and if they don't like it, they will reject it all, and it doesn't matter if they offend people. Of course, with their background, no one dared to blame them, but felt that the gift they gave was indeed cold.
Fortunately, after a few years of getting along, Ruqing finally figured out their temperament and appetite, and the gifts they gave out were never returned. Of course, except for the first time when the cotton shoes were approved by Zhili and refused, they were basically never returned.
When Linglong recalled the grim faces of several black and green people, including the Li family, she suddenly admired her own girl, "The second young master even rejected the top-level Tieguanyin given by his wife, girl, what kind of gift did you give last night?" ”
Ruqing chuckled, pretending to be mysterious, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
Although it was glorious at Zhiyi, after Ruqing smiled, when she listened to the sound of giggling from the people outside, she sighed again, grandma also looked up to her too much, and she would give her such a problem as soon as she came.
Agarwood went out with a calm face, and scolded at a big loss: "Have you done your work?" It's noisy here, what is it like? She paused, and her voice became more and more stern, "Peach and green willow, you are so bold, do you think that the girl is not as comfortable here as in Zhuangzi?" And Yin'er, don't think that Aunt Zhu is soft and easy to talk, so you can snub our girl. I can tell you, if you let the old lady know, you won't have your good fruit to eat. There are also Juqing and Yuqin, I know that the two sisters are serving by the wife's side, if you feel that you are not used to being here with our girl, then go back, our girl has always been very talkative. ”
Ruqing held her cheeks, heard Agarwood's words clearly in the room, and said to Linglong, "Can you hear Agarwood's words clearly?" ”
Linglong nodded, and Ruqing said: "You also have to learn a little, don't you claim to be a first-class girl next to me?" The so-called first-class girl, not only carefully serve the master, but also think about what the master can't think, do what the master can't do, and most importantly, you have to control the girls under the master, have you done it? ”
Linglong said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this, isn't it just to control the girls under it, Sister Agarwood can scold people, and I Linglong can do it." Girl, look at me. Then he went out in high spirits.
Ruqing patted her feet while listening to Linglong's angry scolding, "Green willows, pink, blue and green mountains, have you done your work?" What the? A little bit left? Does that mean it's still not done? I still dare to play here, and even disturb the girl's tranquility noisily. I know that you don't understand the rules of the house from Zhuangzi, and I guess I will go around you once, if there is a next time, see if I don't clean you up, what are you doing here? Why don't you go about your own thing? Do you really want me to clean up with a ring ruler? You, you --- green willow, what do you say? There's a kind of you say again! ”
Ruqing listened to the loud sound of Linglong almost breaking the roof, and shook her head helplessly, grandma is right, managing slaves, how to manage, how to manage properly, and balancing all the forces in the inner house from the management of slaves, is indeed a profound knowledge, and it is also a journey and problem that must be passed by a boudoir girl.
