After the villain in the whole family read my mind, his character fell apart

"Yeah." Xiao Xia replied and continued reading. She knew someone was looking at them, but she didn't feel any malice in the look, so she didn't care.

In a place like this, it's normal for someone to look at you a second time at any time.

Empress Xian's eyes fell on her book. She could see the words on it. It was a book about how to manage people.

Empress Xian asked her, "You are reading this book. Do you intend to learn how to manage people in the future?"

Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw that she was the only one reading a book. She looked up and saw the noble lady in front of her. She stood up quickly and said, "Madam, are you talking to me?"

"Yes." Empress Xian nodded slightly.

Xiao Xia, "No, I'm just an ordinary kid from a poor family. I probably won't have the chance to become a manager in the future."

"I just thought that if I could read more books, I would read more. It might be useful in the future. My mother told me before she passed away that girls must learn to read more books."

"That way, when you grow up, you won't be looked down upon. Even if you become a maid, you will be a cultured maid."

"I picked up this book, too. I saw it was packed so well, and thought someone might have dropped it by accident, so I kept it well. If its owner comes back, I will return it to her."

Xiao Xia explained where her book came from.

Empress Xian looked at her neither humble nor arrogant attitude and thought: Reading more is indeed useful. Although this child has a hard life, her temperament is different from others.

"If you could have a chance to learn management, would you be willing?"

Empress Xian admired her very much and naturally was willing to train her.

Xiao Xia was stunned by this huge surprise. She was stunned for a moment and quickly nodded, "I do!"

"Excuse me, ma'am, where should I go to study?"

"Can I buy the tuition on credit first? I don't have any money right now."

Empress Xian laughed, "Since I asked you to go, you don't need to pay the tuition. I will pay it for you."

Xiao Xia frowned, "This won't work!"

"I want to learn this myself. How can I let Madam teach me? I am willing to write Madam an IOU!"

Her mother once said that one should not accept other people's kindness for nothing, because sometimes these seemingly free "things" are the most expensive.

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, "It seems that you are not someone who can be easily fooled."

"Since I want to use you, I should tell you clearly."

"I really didn't train you for nothing. I opened a shop and now I'm in need of a manager. But I'm new here and I don't feel comfortable hiring someone whose background I don't know."

"I think you are a good match for me, and I think you are eager to learn, so I want to train you. In the future, you can be the manager of my shop, and I will give you a monthly salary. What do you think?"

"If you are willing, I will continue to talk to you. If you are not willing, I will not force you."

Xiao Xia: ???

Such a great thing happened to her?!

Could this be the opportunity my mother mentioned?

Xiao Xia nodded quickly, "I do, I do!!"

Empress Xian: "That's fine. I'll come find you tomorrow."

Empress Xian turned and left.

The reason why she didn't take her away today was that she was worried that Xiao Xia would suspect that she had sold her out, so she gave her a day to find out her identity.

She also wanted to see how capable Xiao Xia was.

As soon as she left, Xiao Xia's excited heart slowly calmed down. To be honest, she didn't know whose lady this was, and she had never seen her before.

Madam also said that this was her first time in this city...

In fact, she was also worried in her heart, wondering if the lady would sell her. Although she was poor, she was still quite pretty.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xia stopped reading. She queued up to get some porridge. After drinking the porridge, she went to ask the beggars. Some of the beggars were very well-informed.

After some inquiries, although she didn't know the identity of the lady, she knew that she was indeed a wealthy woman.

"This lady came with three other ladies. They are all very wealthy. I saw them buying a lot of things!"

"And she brought her maid with her!"

"Maybe they are a wealthy family from the capital."

"Last time I saw one of the ladies give a silver note to someone who asked for money to save his mother. It was a silver note!"

"Oh, yes, I also heard that one of the ladies bought a shop here. It seems that she wants to open a shop to sell something!"

"Hey, I know that. I saw one of the ladies recruit a lot of girls to do chores. It seems that she has set up a workshop. I asked around and it seems that she makes jewelry."

"Have they found someone in charge?" After hearing this, Xiao Xia basically believed what Concubine Xian said.

"It seems not yet!"

"The lady had been to many shops looking for a manager, but she didn't find any that she liked."

Xiao Xia:!!!

That's it!

It seems that she is really lucky.

The next day, Xiao Xia was waiting early in the morning. She specially chose a clean piece of clothing. In fact, she only had two sets of clothes for changing, and each set had many patches on it.

Empress Xian arrived as promised, "Let's go."

Xiaoxia nodded and followed her, while Xiaochun watched from a distance with envy on her face.

After Xiaoxia confirmed that Concubine Xian was not a scammer, she told Xiaochun about it. Although Xiaochun was reluctant to let Xiaoxia go, she also knew that Xiaoxia would have a better future if she went there.

Empress Xian glanced back at Xiaochun and said, "Take that girl with you as well!"

"Would you let her go to the workshop and pick up pearls?"

Xiao Xia nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! Xiao Chun is very hardworking."

"Thank you ma'am!!"

Xiaoxia quickly waved to Xiaochun, "Xiaochun, come here quickly!"

"Madam wants you too!"

Xiaochun pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief, "Me?"

Madam wants her?!

But she doesn't know anything!

But this is an opportunity!

Xiaochun didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards Xiaoxia and the others. When she got to them, she immediately bowed 90 degrees, "Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am!"

Empress Xian chuckled, "Okay, stop being so polite, let's go."

"You are here to help me. In other words, you earn money with your own hands. You don't have to put yourself in a low position."

"Yes!" Xiaochun responded.

Empress Xian took them to the courtyard where they were temporarily staying and gave each of them two sets of new clothes. "The teacher will be here soon."

"Xiao Xia, right? You study first."

"Xiaochun, do you want to learn?"

Xiaochun shook his head when he heard that. "No, no, no, I can't read a single word. I can just do the rough work."

Empress Xian said, "That's fine. You can go to the workshop today and learn from your sisters."

"Yes!" Xiaochun responded, and Qiuxiang came over, "Girl, let's go, I'll take you to change clothes and send you to the workshop."

"Okay, thank you, sister!" Xiaochun followed Qiuxiang away. She turned back and clenched her fist to cheer Xiaoxia up, saying silently, "Come on, Xiaoxia!"

Xiao Xia nodded slightly and replied silently, "You too, keep working hard!"

Xiaoxia also went to change her clothes. When she came out, she saw three more people around the lady, so she quickly bowed.

Concubine Xian said, "You can call these three Madams."

"The Master is here, go to him!"

Empress Xian pointed outside and saw the teacher waiting in the yard.

After much thought, she decided that it would be better to let the teacher teach her in the yard. The bright environment would make her feel more at ease.

"Yes." Xiao Xia walked out and saw the teacher waiting for her.

In the yard, in public, she felt much more at ease.

My slightly hanging heart finally settled down.

"Sister, do you want to train this little girl to be a manager?" Concubine Liang lay at the door, bent down slightly, and stretched her head to look curiously.
