"Oops," Jiang Baoqing shouted in a low voice, "Xia Ai, come and help me see if the back of my clothes is not smoothed." ”

Xia Ai was still worried about whether Jiang Baoqing would be angry because she was too worried, so she heard Jiang Baoqing calling her, and hurriedly responded, and Mei Zizi also went in to help Jiang Baoqing after the screen.

The master and servant smoothed their clothes together, Jiang Baoqing turned sideways left and right to look at the figure in the brass mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Baoqing glanced up at Xia Ai and chuckled: "Your general mentioned it to me before, saying that there are too few people to serve. I thought it was enough, but after thinking about it, since it was already open, some things really had to be held up. I'm thinking...... Promote a few maids first. ”

Xia Ai was stunned, she was a smart person, and Madame would not suddenly mention this for no reason...... Don't?

Xia Ai's heart fluttered.

Jiang Baoqing saw that Xia Ai was trembling slightly, she should have guessed it, she didn't sell anything to Xia Ai, nodded with a smile, and said very simply: "That's right, I thought you would have been with me for some time." Although sometimes the heart is a little quicker, the mind is pure and clever...... I thought about promoting you to a first-class maid first, just like the monthly example of looking for willows and peaches. You also help Mi Liu Xuntao to keep an eye on some of the maids who are down, and the comprador will come over in a few days, and the new maids will enter the house, and you still have to rely on you big girls to help Mama Rong set rules for them. ”

Xia Ai trembled slightly, she forcibly suppressed her urge to kneel down and thank her, and said with tears and a smile: "Madame is so important to slaves and maids, and slaves and maids have nothing to repay, so they can only do their best to keep Madame from being disappointed." ”

There are no bells and whistles to show loyalty, and it is very honest.

Jiang Baoqing nodded with satisfaction, thought about it and said, "I'll tell them the news at breakfast in a while, and then you can take a closer look at those little maids." ”

Xia Ai immediately understood Jiang Baoqing's intentions.

Jiang Baoqing didn't mean this, he told her in advance, he was also afraid that she would lose her temper in front of the little maid for a while, and she would not be able to erect the majesty of her first-class maid; Second, it is also convenient for her to concentrate on observing the expressions of the little maids at that time.

After all, the expedition has already begun.

Sure enough, while eating breakfast, Jiang Baoqing rarely called a lot of little maids to come in, his eyes swept over them one by one, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Baoqing was calm, but the little maids below were a little worried in their hearts, I don't know how the lady who has always disliked the service of others when eating, why did she suddenly call them in, is it because she is in a bad mood?

Lilac was also standing in the row of second-class maids, she looked at Jiang Baoqing still smiling, and only felt that the heart in her chest was beating extremely fast.

She has been a little upset lately, she has not slept well, and she woke up before dawn, thinking of going to the upside down seat to pour a cup of hot water.

I happened to see Gong Ji coming out of the main room, his jaw was tight, his sword was wearing at his waist, and he was striding out with a frosty face.

Lilac's heart pounded.

The general must have quarreled with his wife!

Lilac didn't know that the Queen Mother was approaching, and the palace planning and inspection department was very busy with official business, and she hurried to the official office without even eating breakfast, how could she be in a good mood.

Ding Xiang was thinking nonsense at this moment, Jiang Baoqing's eyes seemed to just sweep from her face, and no one had an idea.

Jiang Baoqing took a small white porcelain spoon in his hand, slowly stirred a bowl of matsutake corn porridge, and opened his mouth in a very casual tone: "Since I entered the palace house, because there are only four first-class maids around the old lady, it is not easy for me to jump over the old lady, and there have always been only two first-class maids around me, Miliu and Xuntao." ”

Jiang Baoqing didn't talk nonsense, opened the door and entered the mountain, and went straight to the point.

The maids were shocked when they heard Jiang Baoqing's words.

Does this mean that a few more first-class maids should be promoted?

Several second-class maids were breathing a little fast.

Especially cloves.

Jiang Baoqing didn't hang them too much, just paused slightly, gave them a little buffer time, and continued: "Since we have already established a separate mansion, there are still only two first-class maids around me, so it is a little undecent...... When the mansion was opened, some rough maids were added outside, and their character had to be carefully seen. At this time, we can mention a few first-class maids. ”

Even the third-class maids in the room held their breath at this moment and listened to Jiang Baoqing continue to speak.

Jiang Baoqing smiled and directly called Xia Ai's name: "Xia Ai." ”

Xia Ai was originally standing behind Jiang Baoqing with her hands down, she heard Jiang Baoqing call her name, she had already been mentally prepared, and in the envious eyes of everyone, she looked at it and responded very steadily: "The slave is here." ”

"You've done a good job these days," Jiang Baoqing didn't say anything else, only praised "did a good job", and said, "In the future, you will be the same as the monthly case of looking for willows and peaches, don't get the wrong one when you receive the monthly money." ”

Xia Ai's face was ruddy, and she responded loudly: "Slave and maid Mrs. Xie is promoted!" ”

Standing behind Jiang Baoqing, it was easier for her to see the expressions of the maids in front of her.

Jiang Baoqing raised her hand and drank a sip of porridge, probably because it tasted good, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "It stands to reason that another first-class maid should be promoted to ......."

Jiang Baoqing's words pushed the atmosphere in the room to a peak.

The second-class maids looked at Jiang Baoqing with almost bright eyes.

Especially Lilac, the heart in her chest was beating faster and faster.

She stared straight at Jiang Baoqing and figured out something!

Why did the general leave home this morning with a straight face, and why did Jiang Baoqing deliberately call everyone over so uncharacteristically today, and set up a pomp and circumstance.

It must have been the general's nomination to make her a first-class maid, which made Jiang Baoqing angry!

Yes, for sure. The general had mentioned to Jiang Baoqing in front of her that he needed to add some manpower, but Jiang Baoqing was very cunning at that time and did not answer.

It seems that this is the reason!

Lilac felt that she had discovered the truth, and her whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

Her mind was occupied by her imagination.

For a while, he couldn't take care of Xia Ai, who had been promoted to a first-class maid.

She almost didn't listen to Jiang Baoqing's words next, only vaguely heard something like "look at the future performance" and "another first-class maid will talk about it later", and it didn't take long for everyone to go out of the house in a daze.

Blown by the cold wind blowing in the yard, Lilac's consciousness finally sobered up.

She subconsciously glanced back at Xia Ai, who was left in the house to divide her duties with Miliu Xuntao, and an extremely complicated look flashed in her eyes.

If it had been before, she might have been very jealous, but now, she figured it out.

Maids, whether second-class maids or first-class maids, are serving people after all.

What is more comfortable than being a master!

Lilac finally made up her mind.
