【Quick Wear】I always go to the wrong plot

It has been almost a week since I entered the Li Pavilion.

Zhao Xi sat in front of the medicine jar, gently fanning the small fire, his thoughts flying.

She has almost sorted out the relationships in the Jiang Mansion.

The Jiang family is so wealthy that Pingsheng City is only a secondary base, and the real main base is in the capital. The one who holds the greatest power is Jiang Shuliu's father, Jiang Jingtao.

Jiang Jingtao has three brothers, none of whom are his biological children. He is the oldest, and in the old feudal system he is called the eldest son. Next to him is his second brother Jiang Zhang, and his third brother Jiang Yekuan, who died young.

Jiang Jingtao inherited the family business and had nine concubines and many children. However, after the war-torn years, only the four youngest children survived.

The biggest among them is Jiang Shuliu, and her status is also the highest.

Because her biological mother is the youngest daughter of the head of the Ji family, Jiang Shuliu is the symbol of the closest bond between the Jiang and Ji families.

The reason why Jiang Jingtao handed over all the business in the south to Jiang Shuliu was partly because she was very capable, and partly because the Ji family was also her helper.

Jiang Shuliu was in charge of the Jiang family's largest porcelain business in the south. In order to manage it better, she did not hesitate to leave the cold north and go to the south of the Yangtze River to find the most suitable place for porcelain making. In just one year, Jiang Shuliu became very successful.

You are really amazing, Miss.

Zhao Xi propped up his chin, looked at the small medicine jar in front of him, and recalled the scene of dredging the river not long ago.

Although it was Jiang Shuliu who personally asked Zhao Xi to go to Lige, the eldest lady had a lot of things to do, so how could he personally ask about it? I guess he was about to forget about her, right?

Zhao Xi also guessed whether Guo Jiang Shuliu would be the heroine, but the plot value seemed to be dead and motionless, so Zhao Xi could only take it one step at a time.

However, after making inquiries over the past few days, she has figured out a truth, which is: the eldest daughter is the most important and must not be offended.

In other words, only if she can win the favor of the eldest lady can her mission show signs of progress!

Zhao Xi did it right away. He took out a mahogany lacquer box, poured the boiled medicine into a bowl, put the bowl into the box, and stood up to give it to the eldest lady.

Although the eldest lady is good at her job, she seems to be in poor health and has to take medicine every day.

Zhao Xi entered Lige, and she didn't do much every day except making medicine for the eldest lady. Every time she made medicine, she felt the bitterness went into her throat when she smelled it, and she couldn't imagine how it would feel to really drink it.

But the eldest lady always finished drinking it, which is amazing.

Jiang Shuliu's room was the largest one, with many servants, so Zhao Xi could never see Jiang Shuliu.

What she had to do was to hand the box to Jiang Shuliu's personal maid, Sister Qinghe, and then stand outside waiting for Qinghe to give her the box with the empty bowl.

But today seems a little different.

Qinghe is not here.

Zhao Xi waited for a while, and seeing that no one came into the room, worried that the medicine had gotten cold, she went up to knock on the door and asked softly, "Miss?"

It was quiet inside, and then Jiang Shuliu's unique voice came: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xi explained everything clearly, and the eldest lady asked her to go in.

Carefully pushing open the heavy carved wooden door, this was the first time Zhao Xi entered the eldest lady's room.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xi was stunned by the elegant and exquisite decoration.

The first thing that catches your eye is a huge screen that separates the bed from the chairs. The floor is covered with imported wool carpets that are extremely thick and soft.

The entire visible area is decorated with rosewood inlaid with mother-of-pearl furniture, which has a polished sheen. Every corner is decorated with flowers, birds, feathers and animals made with different light-colored mother-of-pearl, which exude a warm luster.

On the half table by the window on the left hand side is a stained glass window made of green colored glaze and mica. It is slightly open at this moment, and the breeze brings it, blowing the petals of several irises in the exquisite blue and white porcelain vase on it, making it look fresh and elegant.

The wealth of the world lies in the south of the Yangtze River.

Unlike the war-torn North, the South, which still had a respite, was chosen as the first region to restore the economy after the establishment of the new regime due to its proximity to the coast and geographical reasons. It was not without reason.

This combination of Chinese aesthetics and Western sophistication is a unique blend of this era.

"What are you doing standing there?"

Jiang Shuliu's voice came coldly.

The eldest lady's figure was vaguely visible behind the beaded curtain, sitting upright in front of the dressing table.

Zhao Xi walked over with his head down, put the medicine box on the table, took out the medicine bowl from it, and walked over holding the black bowl of medicine.

"Miss, take your medicine." Zhao Xi stood aside and handed the medicine to Jiang Shuliu.

Jiang Shuliu seemed to have just woken up, his jet-black hair fell like black satin, his snow-white skin had no healthy blush, his pair of phoenix eyes were clear, he was only wearing a thin long coat, his back was straight, and only the red bracelet on his wrist was eye-catching.

If the young lady sits up like this, she will be as tall as when she stands up. Zhao Xi pouted slightly in her heart. In her current body, she really looks like a young girl.

At this time Jiang Shuliu raised her hand slightly, Zhao Xi put the medicine bowl in her hand, and Jiang Shuliu drank it all without changing her expression.

Taking the empty medicine bowl, Zhao Xi turned around and left without saying anything.

"Wait." Jiang Shuliu called her.

Zhao Xi looked back in confusion, and Jiang Shuliu looked at her.

The little girl, barely sixteen years old, was wearing a green cotton and linen short shirt and a white skirt, which was the common attire for all little girls, but it looked very pleasing to the eye against her beautiful and refined face.

Especially those big cat-like eyes, when you look at it, it really looks like a cat.

This reminded Jiang Shuliu of a long-haired cat that was given to him by a foreigner when he was doing business with him half a year ago. The cat had round eyes and was very well behaved when held in arms, but its eyes were more special than this little girl's.

However, the cat died long ago.

"Qinghe is sick, you come and do my makeup." The eldest lady gave the first task.

Fortunately, with the original owner's memory, Zhao Xi was not unfamiliar with some women's hairstyles.

But she moved very carefully, for fear of pulling a strand of the young lady's hair.

"You're so weak?" Jiang Shuliu's face was clearly visible in the kaleidoscope, and his voice was neither happy nor angry.

Zhao Xi explained: "I was afraid of hurting you."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuliu seemed dissatisfied, and raised his long eyes with a strong pressure: "I am a glass doll?"

Zhao Xi shook her head: "No, the eldest lady is very powerful."

She gently pulled her hair up, not begging for mercy when the young lady seemed angry: "Most men in the world can't do what the young lady did. How could such a powerful young lady be a glass doll?"

Jiang Shuliu curled his lips, which were not painted red, and his delicate face looked like a non-human snow demon, smiling: "You have a very sweet mouth."

Zhao Xi lowered her eyes: "I didn't lie, Miss."

The first step to pleasing a big boss is not to be nervous or panic.

Jiang Shuliu didn't say much. After combing her hair, he casually picked out a Hetian jade hairpin from the gold-painted jewelry box and gave it to Zhao Xi, just like feeding her a candy, and then let her leave.

Zhao Xi held the medicine box in one hand and looked at the exquisite and expensive hairpin in the other hand, and sighed: No wonder everyone in the mansion wants to come to the eldest lady, not only because the eldest lady has great power, but also because the eldest lady is generous!
