Upon hearing the words "Mrs. Ruyi", Chu Jiayi's expression couldn't help but change.
After arriving at the Zhao Mansion, Chu Jiayi already knew a lot about the situation in the Zhao Mansion, so she naturally knew that the "Mrs. Ruyi" mentioned by the maid was Fang Ru!
In fact, Chu Jiayi was deeply impressed by Fang Ru, the concubine of the Zhao family.
When Chu Jiayi first came to the Zhao Mansion, because she was too beautiful, the house manager was worried that she would attract Zhao Junchen's attention, and thus receive retaliation from Fang Ru, who actually planned to drive her out of the Zhao Mansion!
Later, although Chu Jiayi bribed the steward, she could only help in the kitchen and could not show her face.
Over the past few days, Chu Jiayi had heard a lot about Fang Ru's deeds in the Zhao Mansion. When Fang Ru was mentioned, everyone in the Zhao Mansion was trembling with fear and awe, not daring to say anything.
The slightest sign of neglect has obviously been tamed by Fang Ru.
Considering that Fang Ru was just a concubine in the Zhao Mansion, even though she had Zhao Junchen's favor, the fact that she was able to do this was a testament to her methods.
Nowadays, Zhao Junchen is busy with court affairs, and all the big and small affairs of the Zhao family and the business of "Yerongfang" are all handled by Fang Ru, which can be said to be the ultimate trust.
And Fang Ru did not live up to Zhao Junchen's trust. Not only was the Zhao family well managed by Fang Ru, but the business of "Yue Rong Fang" has developed rapidly since Fang Ru took over, with branches opening to the south of the Yangtze River.
.
Shrewd and capable, fierce and jealous, this is Chu Jiayi's impression of Fang Ru.
Precisely because of Fang Ru's shrewdness, ability, and jealousy, Chu Jiayi was actually a little afraid of Fang Ru.
However, Fang Ru's status in the Zhao family was second only to Zhao Junchen. Chu Jiayi did not dare to disobey Fang Ru's call, so after hesitating for a moment, Chu Jiayi followed the maid.
…………
When Chu Jiayi entered Fang Ru's room, she looked up secretly, only to find that Fang Ru was also staring at her closely, looking up and down with a hint of scrutiny.
As they looked at each other, the same thought came to their minds:
"This woman is so beautiful!"
However, Chu Jiayi was just expressing emotion.
But Fang Ru felt deeply wary in her heart.
As for Chu Jiayi's background, Fang Ru naturally knew it after Zhao Junchen's instructions.
However, this cannot hide the fact that Chu Jiayi is definitely a beautiful and charming woman. Although she is still a little green, she is no less than Fang Ru today!
If such a woman grows up for a few years, loses her youthfulness and gains charm, how can she be so good? I’m afraid anyone will be moved by her!
"Master keeps her by his side, doesn't he have other motives?"
When she thought of this, Fang Ru, who had always been shrewd and calm, couldn't help but feel confused.
Fang Ru has an extreme temperament, and because of this, her whole heart is devoted to Zhao Junchen. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is "crazy".
In particular, after Zhao Junchen came back from Lu'an Mansion, his temperament changed drastically for some unknown reason. He became less arrogant and domineering, more restrained and wise, less cold and selfish, and more tolerant and gentle. He also had a close relationship with Fang Ru.
After untying the knot in her heart and experiencing the initial discomfort, Fang Ru became even more obsessed with Zhao Junchen.
If Fang Ru in the past was grateful to Zhao Junchen and regarded Zhao Junchen as her sustenance for survival because Zhao Junchen rescued her from the sea of misery and found the value of her survival, then Fang Ru today
Ru, as Zhao Junchen's character changed and he experienced so many things, he developed real feelings for Zhao Junchen.
Unfortunately, just because Fang Ru was so obsessed with Zhao Junchen, the thoughts of those little women in her heart were much stronger than those of ordinary women.
The manager of the Zhao Mansion did not dare to let the beautiful woman into the house, and it was probably because Fang Ru had such thoughts and had secretly beaten her.
In addition, she had a bad background and always had an inferiority complex. Now as Zhao Junchen becomes more and more powerful, Fang Ru always has a lingering feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
She was always afraid that one day in the future, she would lose her existence value in Zhao Junchen's eyes.
Therefore, Fang Ru always tried to please Zhao Junchen and did her best to do things for Zhao Junchen, just to continuously consolidate her position in Zhao Junchen's heart.
As for the fact that Zhao Junchen would marry his first wife in the future, Fang Ru couldn't even think about it. The slightest thought came to her mind and she couldn't sleep at night for several days.
Putting aside Fang Ru's charming and enchanting appearance and shrewd and shrewd temperament, Fang Ru is actually more fragile than imagined.
But now, a woman who is no less beautiful than herself, has an intellectual and gentle temperament, and is even more lovable than herself appears, and she is even adopted as a personal maid by Zhao Junchen...
Although she knew clearly that Chu Jiayi was a spy who had infiltrated the Zhao mansion and that Zhao Junchen did this just for the purpose of taking advantage, Fang Ru still felt uneasy in her heart, always feeling that she was being threatened.
"This woman is so beautiful."
Frowning secretly, Fang Ru thought again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With different thoughts, Chu Jiayi arrived not far from Fang Ru.
Fang Ru had a shrewd and fierce temperament, and Chu Jiayi was worried that she would be taken advantage of to make things difficult for her, so instead of her stubborn and well-founded opinion in front of Zhao Junchen, she now looked pliable and bowed to Fang Ru Yingying.
On the other side, Fang Ru suppressed the disturbing thoughts in her heart, looked at Chu Jiayi in front of her, and simply asked: "Are you Chu Jiayi?"
Chu Jiayi called out softly: "My maid, Chu Jiayi, I have met Madam. Wish you all the best, Madam."
Although Chu Jiayi had a respectful attitude and called Fang Ru "Madam", Fang Ru did not let Chu Jiayi go. She snorted and said coldly: "I heard that the master asked you for a recipe last night.
I was rejected by you. I guess you are also a stubborn and independent person. The reason I called you here this time is because the master wants to accept you as his personal maid, so he wants to give you a beating to make you understand the rules, so that you can save yourself in the future.
I bumped into the master, but I never thought that looking at you now, you are more respectful and well-behaved than I thought."
Although the words were complimentary, the meaning was obvious.
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam." Chu Jiayi was already prepared for Fang Ru's hostility and was not willing to offend easily. She just lowered her head and said, "After your servant comes to the mansion, she will receive wages from the mansion and work for the mansion."
, of course you have to abide by the rules of the house, and Madam, you are in charge of the affairs of the house and are valued by the master, so it is appropriate for your maid to be more respectful."
Fang Ru smiled coldly, her attitude seemed to be more tolerant, and she said slowly: "It's rare for you to understand these truths, but you didn't forget about it and lost your dignity because you were accepted as a personal maid by the master."
However, when she said this, Fang Ru's smile faded, but she regained her previous coolness. She stared at Chu Jiayi with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and said: "However, although you have a respectful attitude and understand the rules, the impression you give people before and after
, there is a big difference. Tell me, is this because I misunderstood you before? Or is it because you are too rich and change your face too quickly? "
Chu Jiayi frowned slightly, feeling that it was difficult to answer Fang Ru's question. It was not good to say that Fang Ru misunderstood her, and it was not good to say that her city was deep. No matter which one she chose, she would be caught, but Chu Jiayi was also a bit quick-witted.
, after a moment of silence, he said: "My maid made you misunderstand, Madam."
The smile was different from the one before, but it no longer had that aggressive aura.
"I see." Fang Ru seemed to have finally stopped making things difficult for Chu Jiayi, and said slowly: "From now on, you will be the master's personal maid. Although you are only responsible for the miscellaneous things around the master, it is also very important.
Do things with your heart, but many times, too many things are done, but it is not good. You have to understand what should be done and what should not be done, so that you can continue to stay here, do you understand?"
Chu Jiayi still lowered her head and said: "My servant understands that you should do things within your duties, but you cannot do things outside your duties."
"As long as you understand."
Fang Ru nodded, as if she was satisfied with Chu Jiayi's statement, but her brows furrowed slightly.
Fang Ru specially came to meet Chu Jiayi this time. In addition to beating her up and intimidating her, it was also because Fang Ru was told by Zhao Junchen to keep an eye on Chu Jiayi, so she planned to take the opportunity to observe Chu Jiayi.
A person with a good temperament wants to know what he is doing.
Unexpectedly, this Chu Jiayi was not simple. She dodged all the open and hidden arrows in her words, advanced and retreated in a well-founded manner, leaving no loopholes. For a moment, Fang Ru was unable to do anything to her.
A woman like this is obviously very scheming, and staying with Zhao Junchen makes Fang Ru even more uneasy.
However, because of this, Fang Ru no longer continued to embarrass Chu Jiayi, but planned to observe slowly in the future, so she waved her hand and said: "In that case, I'm relieved, you can go down."
It was actually difficult for Chu Jiayi to deal with Fang Ru's aggressive attitude. After hearing Fang Ru's instructions, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After saluting Fang Ru again, she quickly left.
Staring at Chu Jiayi's leaving figure, Fang Ru suddenly said to Xiao Bi, the maid next to her: "This Chu Jiayi has a slim figure and a good temperament, which is suitable for pink. You will give orders to the people in the house later.
Make her some pink clothes and culottes. She is now the master's personal maid, but the clothes should not be too shabby, otherwise she will lose the face of our Zhao family."
As Fang Ru's personal maid, Xiaobi didn't understand what Fang Ru was thinking? She quickly responded and said: "According to my maid, pink with green trim will look great on this girl Chu Jiayi."
It will look better."
Although Zhao Junchen didn't express it clearly, Fang Ru had already understood that Zhao Junchen probably didn't like pink. As for pink and green, Zhao Junchen didn't like it even more, so Fang Ru never dressed like this.
Now Fang Ru asked people to make pink clothes for Chu Jiayi, but it was because she had a sense of crisis and was preparing for a rainy day.
…………
On the other side, Zhao Junchen did not know these little thoughts of Fang Ru.
In the officialdom, the higher you climb, the more things you need to pay attention to. As long as you are determined, there will always be endless official duties and endless infighting.
Therefore, after arranging Chu Jiayi's affairs, Zhao Junchen left all the next matters to Fang Ru, and he had other more important things to do.
For example, Zhao Junchen just received news that since Heze, Shandong, more refugees have come to Beijing to complain.
The mistakes in the preparations for the southern tour are getting bigger and bigger.
