Second Master Gu used to be a weirdo. He used to have a weaving garden in the Changning Marquis Mansion, which was specially used to raise crickets.
Xie Yixiao still remembered that he heard about this when he first came here, and also heard that he had a cricket named 'General Shenwei', and was shocked.
Compared to the Rong family, most of the gifts given by the Xie family were written poems and books, as well as some miscellaneous travel notes that she had not read. Xie Yixiao took a travel note and wanted to read it, but Hongcha disagreed.
"Reading at night hurts your eyes. Madam, I'd better read tomorrow. I really have nothing to do, so let's take a look at the jewelry."
Xie Yixiao: "..."
She sighed and put down the book: "Black Tea, do you think that I can be happy just by looking at these gold and silver jewelry?"
The rumors about her are really misleading. Although she loves money, she is not always happy counting money.
Black Tea said matter-of-factly: "Of course not. I'm just waiting and doing something to pass the time. If the young lady doesn't want to count, you can just talk to the slave."
"Okay, let me talk to you." Xie Yixiao was not in the mood to count any jewelry. He was bored alone, so it would be nice to have someone to talk to. "How have you learned these days? Daily accounting, warehouse,
Do you have an idea of how to arrange gifts for favor exchanges? Do you know how to arrange them?"
Hongcha nodded: "I know it well. I have learned a lot from Grandma Dong these days, and also learned some from the grandma who arranged it. Then I also asked the aunt in charge of Mrs. Shizi's side and looked at the affairs of Rong Guogong's mansion over the years.
A gift list for exchange of favors."
There are people who teach you step by step, and there are examples to refer to. As long as you don't have a stupid brain, you can't learn it. You can draw a picture even if you follow the gourd.
This is also the reason why Xie Yixiao only wants to let them learn when they are a little less capable rather than directly replacing them. Loyalty and ability are equally important in employing people. If it is just a lack of ability, they can barely use it, but if there is no
No matter how loyal or patient you are, you cannot use them.
What she needs is someone who is loyal and capable. If she wants to hire someone, she must first choose someone from Zhongxin.
"That's right. I'll ask my eldest aunt at that time and let you see the list of gifts for the Xie family. After that, you will be able to arrange these things."
"yes."
"What did the Third Young Master say when he came over today?"
Black Tea said: "I didn't say anything. I just said that the Third Young Madam and Miss Gu fell into the water together and were taken to the embassy by Prince Su Ye. I asked the prince to accompany him to the embassy to see what happened."
Madam Third Young Master will take her home."
Although Rong Ting had a cold war with Liao Zhuyin, and the relationship between them was almost gone, but after the couple's fight, Rong Ting was worried about Liao Zhuyin when he learned about it, fearing that something would happen to her, so he came to Rong Guogong's Mansion
.
Hongcha was a little confused: "Although I don't like the third young lady very much, the third young master likes her so much. She married and had a son and a daughter. Why does she only remember the deep love in the past and can't open her eyes to see it?"
Where is the person in front of me?"
Xie Yixiao raised his eyes to look at her, then turned to look at the lampstand on the desk, and said lightly: "Maybe it's because she has too much obsession and too many comparisons, and feels that everything is not as good as before, or maybe she is too selfish, just
Care about your own feelings and gains.”
"If you were really unwilling, why did you marry in the first place? Isn't this harming others and yourself?"
Xie Yixiao didn't want to talk about the sad and beautiful love between Liao Zhuyin and Si Yunlang. He only knew that since he nodded to marry, the people in the past were all old friends and the past. No matter how good the relationship was, there was only a corner left to seal it.
That's fine, the most important thing is to live well now.
Keep your eyes on the present, the future, the people around you, and let yourself go.
However, she thought about the fact that Si Yunlang was not dead. Prince Zhongyong Hou would probably bring him back to the Imperial City soon, and she thought that Liao Zhuyin might run towards her love without hesitation...
Xie Yixiao talked to Hongcha for a long time, and Hongcha listened attentively, nodding occasionally to express his own opinions. When midnight came, the sound of a watchman could be heard in the distant streets and alleys.
Xie Yixiao couldn't stand it any longer and yawned, unable to open his eyes.
"Young madam, please go back to sleep first. The young master can't come back until it's time." Hongcha helped her go back to the bed to sleep. Seeing that she had covered herself with the quilt, he lowered the bed curtain that was covering the outside of the bed, and then left.
The master has not come back yet, and there are still people waiting for him tonight. Hong Cha and Russo Mushroom and Hong Zao discussed it and let Hong Zao go to rest first. Tomorrow, she and Mingxin would get up early to serve him, while she and Russo Mushroom would keep watch. They would get up later tomorrow morning.
The two simply went to warm themselves by the fire in the gatehouse where Granny Dong was guarding the door. It was late at night, and Granny Dong was old, so they had already let her rest.
Lu Gu quietly told Hongcha some secrets that she had heard unexpectedly: "I heard that when the third young master married the third young lady, the Duke and his wife did not agree, but in order to marry her, the third young master went to great lengths to marry her.
After kneeling for two days, the Duke and his wife softened their hearts and nodded in agreement to the marriage."
Black Tea said: "The third young master is also very affectionate."
Russula clicked her tongue, lowered her voice and said: "There must be deep affection, but it's hard to say how deep it is. If his parents disagree so firmly, which young man can kneel down for two days? I heard that we
The eldest daughter in the family was born in July..."
Speaking of this, Russula's expression was extremely weird: "I have seen children born in July who were very sick and looked like little kittens since they were young, but I have never heard of this big girl when she was a child.
Not in good health."
"Maybe I did something wrong and I have to take responsibility."
Hongcha's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to cover Russula's mouth: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense. These are not things we can discuss. If others hear it, it will be unlucky for you, and it will harm the young lady...
....”
Russula has always been a bold person. In the past, when Xie Yixiao was not married, she was assigned the job of asking for information outside. She could jump around and ask for information, which can be called a social badass. Now she is doing errands to ask for information.
her job.
Russula was also startled by Black Tea's words, and her face turned pale: "What you said is that I am talking nonsense. I will definitely not dare to say it again in the future..."
These maidservants, most of their life's ups and downs follow their masters. Only when their masters are doing well can they live a good life. If their masters are unlucky, they will probably not end well.
Hongcha patted his chest to calm himself down, and then said: "Where did you get this?"
Russula said: "I heard it by chance."
Hongcha pondered for a moment, and then told her: "You see when the time is right, mention it to the young lady quietly, and then forget about it."
