005: take advantage of the momentum

Sitting under Chang Xi is a bed made of fine mahogany. On the outer layer are a dressing table and a washstand of the same material. The items on them are all complete, and there is no shortage of quilts and other items on the bed. It can be seen that

The people who came out to decorate it put a lot of thought into it.

She reached out and touched the fine red gauze tent with a thoughtful look on her face, gaining a deeper understanding of Jie's thoughts.

The Jie family has expectations for her, so the treatment from all parties should not be low.

It wasn't until she heard a rumbling sound from her belly that she realized that she hadn't eaten all day. She was busy fighting this and that, but she paid attention to her body's need for food.

Since no one came in, she got up and took the initiative.

Sure enough, there are maids guarding the houses of wealthy families.

The two maids are not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old. They wear double buns. Their upper body is a green bijia, and their lower body is a peach red skirt. There is an apricot belt around their waists, which is similar to the dress they gave her before.

The maids were dressed the same, but it was obvious that they were two different people.

It's a pity that she quite likes the maids who dress her up. After all, who doesn't love someone who talks little and works hard?

"You go to the kitchen and order some food."

She is not picky about food. As a superior person in her previous life, she never gave people a chance to speculate on her preferences, eliminating the opportunity for others to like her.

The two maids looked at each other, but neither of them responded. They still stood there motionless, not even bothering to give her a look.

Chang Xi couldn't help but smile when she saw their attitude. Sure enough, the king of hell is easy to see and the kid is difficult to deal with. These two people are definitely not people who serve the master of the Jie family, otherwise they would not be so short-sighted.

After thinking about what the master hopes to achieve, as a servant, he will definitely do his best to share the master's worries. Only in this way can the master have the opportunity to see his ability and his position can be promoted.

For example, the nanny who welcomed the bride before was a smart person. There is no point in embarrassing her, and it will also highlight her own incompetence in doing things. In the future, the master will not leave important matters to her, which is not worth the gain.

Seeing Chang Xi's smile, the two maids felt a little uneasy, but they still refused to say anything.

"Since you didn't hear what I said, it's easy to deal with it. When the nanny next to your wife comes over later, I'll ask her again, does the Jie family plan to starve me to death?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two maids immediately changed.

They are not the first-class maids who serve the Madam. How can they talk to Aunt Zhong who is beside the Madam? But the so-called wedding room was decorated by Aunt Zhong with others, and it was also Zhong who went to welcome the bride.

Grandma, if Grandma Zhong comes here later, will she blame them for not doing things well?

Chang Xi was not in a hurry now. She was leaning against the door in her free time and watching the two people's quarrel. She didn't expect that she would actually be reduced to taking advantage of the situation to establish her power. It was unpleasant to think about it.

You have fallen, Chang Xi.

She couldn't help but complain about herself in her heart.

One of the round-faced maids couldn't resist at first. She looked at Chang Xi with a somewhat uneasy expression, "Ms. Chang, wait a moment..."

"Xiao Tao, what are you doing?" Another sharp-faced maid hurriedly grabbed her friend and scolded her in a low voice, "You forgot that we agreed..."

Xiaotao pulled out her arm that was being held by her companion, and replied in a low voice, "If Auntie Zhong knows that we have neglected her, then we will not be able to enjoy our good harvest. Even Sister Jiaoxing will not be able to protect us."

Being able to guard the door is already a second-class maid in the house, which is much better than the third-class rough servant girl they used to be. She doesn't want to lose this job.

"Hey, Xiaotao..."

The sharp-faced maid saw that her companion had actually gone to the kitchen to bring food, and hurriedly chased after him.

Chang Xi watched the two maids leave in a hurry. It was obvious that the maid named Xiaotao did not listen to the sharp-faced maid's advice and walked faster towards the kitchen.

After seeing no good show, she turned around and sat in front of the Eight Immortals table with some resentment. She picked up the teapot on the table and shook it. Sure enough, there was no tea. It seemed that the maid named Jiao Xing had worked hard behind the scenes.

The time she was waiting for food was too boring, and she mentally analyzed the information revealed in the dispute between the two people just now.

The maid Jiao Xing seems to have some prestige among the servants, but it is not as good as the lady's confidants like Aunt Zhong, so this person is worth studying.

It can be seen from the arrangement of maids to guard the door that the Jie family has arranged close maids for her, but none of them have shown up now. It is obvious that the maid named Jiao Xing is behind it.

Why do people make things difficult for her? It's just that she blocks their way.

A girl in ancient times wanted to climb into bed and become an aunt?

No, according to her understanding of the Jie family in her memory, the Jie family did not have concubines. This can also explain why they would rather spend money to pawn their wives than directly buy her as a concubine from the Xu family, not to mention that the Xu family was reluctant to part with her.

Selling your wife doesn't exist. As long as the money is in place, everything is easy.

What a fucked up era.

When she thinks that she has no right to personal freedom, not even property rights, no matter how well-educated Chang Xi is, she can't help but curse.

In her eyes, nothing else is necessary, freedom and money are both indispensable.

Since Jiao Xing has no chance to climb into bed and become an aunt, what does she want?

Her hand unconsciously tapped the table top of the Eight Immortals Table, or maybe there was someone behind Jiao Xing who didn't wish her well.

Thinking of this, she smiled again. It seemed that her guess was accurate.

Now, she was a little curious about Mr. Jie Jiu. Who was determined to win over him?

Is a widower who lost three wives really so popular?

Haha, this is getting more and more interesting.

She was beginning to look forward to meeting Mr. Jie Jiu. She wondered if he had a good skin? Or did he have an interesting soul?

Of course, she was a little less interested in digging out the person behind Jiao Xing. After all, this method was not enough.

If this person could marry into the Jie family openly, then nothing would happen to her. But now that she is in the Jie family, it means that she cannot marry into the Jie family, so no matter how hard she tries, it will be in vain.

Or if she thinks reversely, or if she cooperates with this person, she will have a chance to escape unscathed?

No, now is not a good time.

She had to wait for the wind to rise so that she could fly up instead of being blown down into the pond.

At this moment, another argument broke out not far from the door, and a faint sound reached her ears.

"Xiao Tao, are you going to betray me?"

When Chang Xi went out to look, she happened to see a woman wearing a crimson skirt and a white skirt with her back turned to her, teaching Xiao Tao, while Xiao Tao seemed to be arguing with her while protecting the tray with food in her hand.

, while the sharp-faced maid and two other slightly better-dressed maids followed up and accused Xiao Tao.

"I asked her to bring it, Jiao Xing, do you have any objections?"

Hearing her voice, everyone was startled and turned around hurriedly. They saw Chang Xi walking over at some point. After being surprised, everyone had different expressions.

Some people are afraid of her, some are scrutinizing her, some are despising her, and some are ignoring her, but she is actually enjoying watching her.

But wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is true.

Jiao Xing's eyes were filled with deep fear at this moment. How did the wife of a small household who was said to be born in a mud-legged village know her name?

"Ms. Chang, the food is here." Xiao Tao crossed the crowd and walked towards her.

Now that she has offended Jiao Xing and others, she can only move closer to Chang Xi.

"You did a good job, Xiaotao." Chang Xi reached out and patted her shoulder to encourage her.

Xiao Taoyuan's face turned red, "That's what I should do..." Afterwards, she discovered that Chang Xi could actually say her name accurately, and her round face turned red.

Chang Xi did not explain, but glanced at everyone, "When Aunt Zhong comes, I will tell her to keep you close to serve."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two maids who were slightly better dressed changed instantly.

As early as when the fourth lady wanted to marry Jiu Ye, she began to select people to serve in the mansion. They were lucky enough to be selected. From second-class maids to first-class maids, the monthly salary increased to one or two silver. At that time

I was so happy that I couldn't even find the north.

Later, Jiao Xing came over to persuade them, saying that he wanted to give this country mud-legged person some color, so that he would not dare to instruct them to act like a master in the future.

The two of them discussed it and decided that if they did as Jiao Xing said, they might be able to capture the pawn's wife in the future. By then, the two of them would be able to use chicken feathers as arrows, and their lives would be very cool.

However, the situation now made them dumbfounded.

Seeing Xiao Tao returning to the wedding room with Mrs. Chang, the two of them didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly chased after her, no longer caring about the livid Jiao Xing.

Chang Xi had already sat down to eat the assorted porridge brought back by Xiaotao. Even though she was very hungry, she ate quickly and gracefully. After all, some upbringings are engraved in the bones and cannot be changed.

This is also the difference between her and Chang San'e. Fortunately, the Xu family's mother and son are not in front of them, otherwise they would definitely become suspicious.

Mrs. Chang, this side dish has less oil and is more refreshing. Try it...

Mrs. Chang, this pastry is not greasy at all. Eating it will help digestion...

The two well-dressed maids tried their best to show off, but Chang Xi glanced at them lightly and didn't pay much attention to them. Instead, they gave Xiao Tao a lot of face.

The two of them had no choice but to wink at Xiao Tao and ask her to help put in a good word. It was best not to let Chang Xi bring the matter to Aunt Zhong, otherwise they would definitely be beaten back to their original form, and they might not even be able to save a second-class maid.

Chang Xi's posture was very arrogant, but she also deliberately inspected Xiao Tao.

She will definitely have to live in the Chang family for a while, so it is necessary to train one or two of her own. If they are loyal and useful in the future, it is not impossible for her to redeem them and take them away.

The Jie family didn't want to treat her badly, but they didn't want to support her either. Anyone who could be sent to her side was not someone who really deserved respect in the family.

Xiaotao saw the two people looking at her expectantly, and she couldn't bear it. Finally, she asked for mercy for the two of them, "Ms. Chang, please give these two sisters another chance to change their ways."

After receiving Xiao Tao's plea, the two of them immediately expressed their loyalty to Chang Xi and begged for another chance.

Chang Xi didn't look at the two people, but looked at Xiao Tao and confirmed again, "Do you really think so?"

Xiaotao nodded honestly, she really couldn't bear to see these two people being beaten back to their original form.

"Okay, I understand," Chang Xi still had a smile on his face, "Then it's as you wish."

Xiaotao thanked Chang Xi, but her heart was still tight. This Mrs. Chang always had a smile on her face. Although she didn't show her face, it would make people subconsciously tighten their breathing for no reason. She was afraid that

Saying the wrong things and doing the wrong things in front of her.

Chang Xi then looked at the two people and said, "Everyone, get up. Since Xiaotao intercedes for you, then this matter will be over."

The implication is that she will not tell Aunt Zhong about their poor service.
