Chapter 67: Li Ying's heart is broken, and Jin Ran makes a decision
Jin Ran was startled by Li Ying, who was kneeling, she hurriedly helped her kneeling maid up, and said with a smile: "Li Ying, get up quickly!" ”
Li Ying looked at Jin Ran with teary eyes, and whispered: "Miss, Miss, I ...... yesterday"
Jin Ran simply helped Jin Ran up: "You, don't let anyone think blindly in the future." I haven't said anything about you yet, you're thinking about it by yourself. ”
She touched Li Ying's hair, which was a little messy because of the intense action just now: "Okay, okay, don't cry." You were like this yesterday because you were worried about me, where am I willing to blame you? As she spoke, she helped Li Ying to sit down in a chair, and her tone was slightly complaining: "Look at you, your face is crying." ”
Jin Ran ordered someone to fetch a basin of water and wash Li Ying's face: "Isn't this good for me, don't cry." Come, I'll put some Poria cream on you. Jin Ran ordered someone to re-tie Li Ying's braids, and carefully smeared a layer of Poria cream on Li Ying's crying red face.
Looking at it like this, Li Ying is the capable and shrewd big girl in Jinran's room again.
Jin Ran looked at Li Ying's worried appearance when she wanted to see herself, and her heart was also a little sad: "Hey, I just wanted to bring you out before, but I didn't think that you were still young." After careful calculation, Li Ying is two years younger than Jin Ran.
Li Ying also wanted to say that she was not young and could share her worries for Miss, but was stopped by Jinran: "I know you want to help me do things, but your age is too young after all." Your abilities are good, and everything you have done for me is well organized. ”
Jin Ran praised Li Ying like this, and Li Ying also put her mind at ease. Knowing that Jinran did not dislike herself, Li Ying was relieved.
Li Ying understands Jinran's worries, she actually feels a lot on weekdays, she is relatively young, although she is Jinran's personal big girl, Jinran also relies on her a lot. But in the eyes of them, this so-called big girl Li Ying is just a yellow-haired girl, not even a child, how can she be qualified to care about them?
On weekdays, when the county lord of Jinrui was there, these slaves didn't dare to do anything, and they looked like they were obediently listening to Li Ying's dispatch. But when Jin Ran returned to Shengfu or was not there, he began to disobey yin and yang, one on the surface, and one in private. It brought a lot of trouble to Li Ying.
Li Ying listened to Jin Ran's words and knew her own miss's plans, she had silently borne the difficulties she faced with the people below before, but this time she had to tell Miss.
After listening to Li Ying's description, Jin Ran knew that Li Ying had suffered so many grievances in private. She thought that Li Ying was like a fish in water managing her county lord's mansion, and it was easy. Thinking of this, Jin Ran couldn't help but feel a little remorseful: "Li Ying, if you are wronged in the future, tell me earlier." ”
Li Ying smiled: "Miss, this kind of thing doesn't matter. Whatever grievances they say are just a few sour words from them. The slave doesn't care. She turned worried again: "Miss, what I'm worried about is that the people in this mansion are used to being domineering. Although you beat them up last time, you are often not in the county lord's mansion on weekdays, and they will revert to their old ways after a while. ”
Jin Ran understood that Li Ying was telling the truth, and she couldn't help but nodded: "If the serious master is not there, the people below will inevitably be more relaxed, and without the string of the master to hold on to them, they are not even happy to go to work every day." ”
This is also a common problem of large households. In some large families, it is inevitable that there will be more servants in the house. Sometimes no one who comes less or more than once doesn't pay attention. Their kind of master is fine at home every day, and the people who serve below do not dare to be dismissive.
However, just like the county lord's mansion in Jinran, it occupies a lot of land, and there are hundreds of people to serve the house, and so many people are only serving one master. It is inevitable that some girls will leave their posts without permission.
Jin Ran always knew that there were these problems in his house, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and it wasn't until he got sick yesterday that it was reflected.
The master was sick, and there was no one in charge for a while. Li Ying, the only one with a higher status, was also young and young, and few people listened to her, so Li Ying could only be anxious.
The master and servant found a lot of problems after such careful scrutiny. Jin Ran couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. Such a big mansion, and I am often absent, no matter how you look at it, it is a good place to hide dirt and accept bribes, and it is no wonder that so many people are willing to come here to live their lives.
Jin Ran was also a little helpless when he thought of this.
Li Ying on the side also followed the meditation. She suddenly cried out "ah", and her eyes flashed with joy: "Miss, I have an idea." ”
Jin Ran has always been reluctant to give his subordinates the opportunity to perform, and at this time, Li Ying is in a hurry to perform when he does something wrong. Jin Ran was happy to give her this opportunity: "Li Ying, what is the idea?" You just say it. ”
"Miss, aren't these people unconvinced that I am young and young? Then can you find an old lady who has been in Sheng Mansion for many years to help you take care of it? The more Li Ying spoke, the more she felt that her idea was feasible, and her eyes were shining, flashing with the words "ask for praise".
"Besides, the old lady has enough experience in housekeeping, and she can take good care of the people in the house when you are away. They don't dare to stumble on errands at will. ”
Jin Ran couldn't help but feel a little happy when she looked at Li Ying like this, she gently stroked Li Ying's head, and a trace of relief flashed in her heart.
She has always regarded Li Ying as one of her closest family members, and she did not hesitate to teach her some principles and methods of dealing with the world and housekeeping business.
But Jin Ran didn't expect that the effect of teaching Li Ying would be so obvious, in just one year since he was reborn. Li Ying has made the same qualitative leap as the little girl who could only serve people in the past. The proposed approach is also very feasible.
But......
Jin Ran patted the back of Li Ying's hand: "Very good." Li Ying, you are the closest person to me. I also know that I don't treat you as an ordinary maid. You have to learn and learn, and you have to learn much more than ordinary maids. ”
As he spoke, Jin Ran gradually felt a little more emotional: "You can't follow me all your life, and you can't serve me all your life." When you grow up, you will have your own life, and you will have to marry and have children. ”
"But don't be afraid." Jin Ran looked at Li Ying, who was eager to refute, with a smile: "It's not that if you leave me, you will no longer be my closest person." I will let you go in the future so that you can have a better life. ”
Li Ying couldn't say anything about Jinran, so she could only say in a muffled voice: "I think it's good to serve by Miss's side." It's true! Afraid that Jin Ran would not believe it, Li Ying hurriedly followed and emphasized.
Jin Ran didn't speak, she knew that Li Ying would definitely not want to leave her at this time. She wasn't in a hurry either. At this time, the words just planted a seed in Li Ying's heart, making her somewhat mentally prepared for this moment.
Li Ying has been by Jinran's side since she was a child, if she accepts it for a while to leave Jinran and marry far away, she will definitely not be able to accept it in her heart. But Jin Ran still wants Li Ying to accept it, she knows that maybe in Li Ying's heart at this moment, being a young lady's maid is already the best. But Jin Ran can't deceive himself like this, deceive himself and say that it is enough for Li Ying to be a maid.
Li Ying deserves better.
But at this moment, Li Ying's mood was very unstable, and Jin Ran didn't dare to say more, she naturally turned the topic to what the two just discussed: "It's not impossible to find an old grandmother." But," Jin Ran changed his words: "But in this case, the power in your hands will become smaller and smaller." ”
Li Ying doesn't plan for herself, but Jinran, the master, must plan for her.
"Miss, Li Ying doesn't care about this." Li Yingman replied nonchalantly.
Jin Ran glanced at his big-hearted maid disapprovingly, and said with hatred: "This matter is not as simple as you think." No matter how loyal and simple this old lady is, she manages such a big family business. And the serious master is not there all the year round, and she has the power alone. Who do you think you will raise in the end? ”
Li Ying only reacted to the stakes when she heard Jin Ran say this, and she exclaimed: "If that old lady ...... If she has a little bad heart. This county lord's mansion is the fat on her sword, and she is allowed to slaughter it. ”
Jin Ran just likes Li Ying, and she glanced at Li Ying approvingly: "That's right." In the face of absolute power, no one will not be corrupted. Even if she is not corrupted, she always has relatives and friends. The old mothers of this Sheng Mansion are also people with children, daughters and husbands in Sheng Mansion. How do we know that something will happen to her family and friends? ”
These words were so heartening that she understood and frustrated at the same time. She finally came up with a way to make the young lady appreciate, but there were still a lot of hidden dangers and problems. If he really used his own method, it was inevitable that this county lord's mansion would cultivate a big moth.
Seeing Li Ying depressed, Jin Ran had the heart to comfort her: "The method you said is also feasible. Our county lord's mansion still needs an old man. On the surface, there is a qualified old man who is easy to act. ”
Li Ying was strange, she asked curiously, "Miss, didn't you mean ......?"
Jin Ran smiled mysteriously in the face of Li Ying's question, and she nodded Li Ying's forehead affectionately: "You stupid girl, if that old lady's power is too great, it is easy for her to take advantage of the loopholes." Shall we not give her so much power? Only let her do the superficial one talking. It's just a matter of town and town for others. ”
Li Ying understood: "Actually, just find a puppet on it?" ”
"Yes," Jin Ran smiled, "find you a puppet." ”
Jin Ran's thoughts can be said to be all for Li Ying's plan. If the old lady in charge comes, Li Ying will have no housekeeping rights at all, after all, two people are in charge together, one is a majestic and senior aunt with a huge foundation. And the other is just a grandmother who has not yet reached the age of fifteen.
The subordinates of the county lord's mansion must have listened to the words of that grandmother, and there will be nothing wrong with Li Ying.
But if this grandmother is not a housekeeper, when she needs to be in town, call her, and when she is not needed, who should be in charge.
Jin Ran spread his hands: "Now many grandmothers in the Sheng Mansion plan to go home to care for the elderly. I'll invite two of them to come and promise a good reward, but I don't believe they won't be tempted. ”
The majestic old lady and the various rules and regulations that have been revised, Jin Ran doesn't believe that yesterday's situation can appear again in the county lord's mansion!
