Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Jia Shiliu explained: "Lidong is in charge of the interpersonal communication around you on weekdays, which one gives gifts and which one returns gifts, all of which require her to know more about the people she interacts with, so what she knows about the back house on weekdays, and the back house she has seen There are a lot of things at home, and gradually, she has an idea in her heart."

What is Lidong thinking?She was afraid that something would happen to Xichun.

Xichun is married, what Lidong is most afraid of is that Xichun and Jinhan will get married and become pregnant.

Xichun is too young now, and the danger of having children is too great. A little carelessness can easily hurt her body or even kill her. Moreover, Xichun's situation is not very good. There is not enough help from her mother-in-law's family. Being dragged back, going to Lingnan, and dealing with various things, these alone are enough to overwhelm Xichun.

Lidong doesn't want Xichun to have children in the past few years, but it's a pity that Chun doesn't have children. Jin Han doesn't want to see her anymore, what should I do?Outsiders gossip too.

Lidong thought for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that he thought was very good.

That is, she became Jin Han's aunt, looking after people for Xichun, so that she could help Xichun win over Jin Han and silence outsiders.

And she also has her own thoughts, she is about to be married, she doesn't want to marry, why marry and suffer?Wouldn't it be nice to be a beautiful maid by Xichun's side?

She wanted to stay by Xichun's side, just like now, if she married, she would not be able to serve Xichun wholeheartedly like now.

And it's not that she hasn't thought about combing herself, but she's afraid of outsiders talking nonsense.

Before Jiang's mother married Yu Guanshi, someone secretly said bad things about Xichun, and if she combs herself again, I'm afraid she will say something even worse.

A princess, why is the mother and maid next to her, either remarrying or grooming herself?Is there a problem with these maids and women, or is there a problem with the princess herself?

Because of his daily responsibilities, Lidong knows the hurtful power of gossip best, so he is also the most afraid.

Xichun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Jia Shiliu also looked like he didn't know how to complain.

Xichun couldn't help asking: "How did she think of going to this place?"

Jia Shiliu was silent for a moment, "I've seen a lot of things in other houses."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Besides, she is a little younger after all, so it's inevitable that she looks at things with a little naivety."

Isn't it naive?She never thought about what would happen if she wanted to marry again in the future?What if she fell in love with Jin Han?What if she had a child?

The expression on Xichun's face changed, Jia Shiliu probably noticed it, and said again: "According to my subordinates' investigation, Lidong also secretly took the sterilization medicine."

Lidong is also afraid, her loyalty to Xichun has been engraved in her bones, she dare not disobey Xichun, but she is also afraid that when she has Jinhan's child, she will subconsciously fight for the child's interests and hurt Xichun, so she decided to solve the problem fundamentally ――It’s fine if she can’t have children.

As for falling in love with Jin Han?Sorry, I really haven't thought about this Lidong.

Xichun's breath was stuck in his chest and it hurt, what are these things!

It's fine if Jia Rong is like this, why is Lidong like this?Is it the Feng Shui around her?

Jia Shiliu was also very helpless, he didn't expect Lidong to think so wildly and act so effectively!

Xichun insisted and asked: "How long ago did she start to have this idea? Who helped her choose the sterilization medicine? How much did she drink?"

Jia Shiliu said: "It's been more than half a year since she had this kind of thought. She secretly went out to pick up the medicine by herself, and avoided people when she boiled and drank it. As for how much she drank... I haven't found out yet. , but I guess I haven't drunk much."

Sterilization pills are strong in nature. If you drink too much at once or for a period of time, you will feel uncomfortable.

Lidong would serve in front of Xichun almost every day, Xichun thought carefully about Lidong's demeanor, and finally felt a little relieved.

Xichun immediately asked Lidong to come over.

No one knew what Xichun and Lidong had said, but they only knew that Lidong came out crying that day, and fell ill the next day, Xichun personally prescribed the medicine for her, and once prescribed, it was a one-year medicine.

In addition, Chun Equinox and some maidservants were sent back to Jia's house.

Everyone was startled, and secretly wondered if Lidong and Chunfen had offended Xichun because they had been cleaned up.

Lichun and the others thought the same way, and went to visit Lidong secretly, "What's the matter with you? Why did you get sick so well? But you offended the Princess of the County? Go and beg for mercy, the Princess of the County has a good temper and won't care about you. "

Lidong's eyes were red and swollen, but he still forced out a smile, "Where is the princess who hates me and is worried about me."

Lidong brought out the rhetoric that he had discussed with Xichun before.

"I haven't been in good health since last year, but I just endured it all the time, fearing that the princess of the county would find out and would not allow me to go to Lingnan. I was discovered a few days ago and scolded me."

"The princess of the county really doesn't hate me, otherwise why would she see a doctor and prescribe medicine for me? Just ignore me."

Lichun and the others believed it now, and began to criticize Lidong again, "Why didn't you tell me that you are not in good health? I said it earlier, maybe there is nothing wrong now, and you can follow us to Lingnan."

Lidong just smiled, "It's okay, I'll come to Lingnan to see you when I recover from my illness."

Lichun and the others believed it, but Lidong knew in her heart that she had no chance to go to Lingnan.

Lidong was ill, and the person in charge of daily relationships was about to be re-elected. Xichun called the two nuns and Mother Jiang over to recommend someone.

The two nuns said that it was up to Xichun to make the decision, just pointing to individuals, as long as they weren't too bad, they could do it well.

Jiang's mother proposed a candidate - Lixia.

"Li Xia doesn't like to talk on weekdays, so everyone doesn't have a deep impression of her, but I see, she knows it well."

Mother Jiang gave two examples, "Over the years, she has been responsible for taking care of all kinds of utensils and furnishings. These look simple, but in fact they are the most difficult to handle. Always pay attention to whether there are any defects or old ones, and daily cleaning. These are all labor-intensive. It's easy to have quarrels, but have we heard anything bad about it over the years? Those little maids never complained, they only said that Li Xia's arrangement was good and life was easy."

The second example is what happened that night.

"Many ordinary men can't stand the aura of the king of the county. She and Xia Zhi were terrified that night, but she was able to react quickly. Not only did she arrange things reasonably for the night, but when she notified me and Lichun, , can also remind us that the county king is in a bad mood."

After hearing this, Xichun thought about it carefully, and found that she really couldn't find anything bad about Lixia.

The second-class maids can't stand the trouble, so they can only choose from the first-class maids.

In fact, Xichun is most interested in Lichun, but Lichun is inseparable from her on weekdays. Without that skill, Liqiu loves to talk, but her words are off-putting and easy to offend people. After all, Lixia is really the only one who is suitable.

Xichun finally made a decision, "Then let Lixia try it first, and the mother will help to see if she can hold it up."

Li Xia took office just like that.

Mother Jiang also asked another question, "It seems that Lidong's illness will not be cured in a few years, and the spring equinox was sent back to Jia's house. Now there is a shortage of a first-class maid and a second-class maid. Do you want to make up for it from below?" Come on? There are also fewer little maids and mothers-in-law."

"After a period of time, first look at the people below before talking about making up. The first-class maids will make up from the second-class maids, and the second-class maids will make up from the lower maids. The little maids and women will not make up for the time being. Wait until Lingnan Besides, see if you can buy some suitable ones from the local area.” They used to be unfamiliar with the place, so they always needed some local talents to do things.

At the same time, Xichun decided to put a little pressure on the people below. This time, she asked Jia Shiliu and the others to investigate the people below, and found that many people had the idea of ​​eating and waiting to die.

For example, summer solstice and autumnal equinox.They are second-class maids, their status is neither high nor low, they are neither jealous of being a painter but not very capable and occupy the head of the second-class maids, nor do they understand why Chun Equinox is so motivated.

How nice the second-class maid is, she earns more with less work, how comfortable she is!So on weekdays, they only do what they should do, they don't do more, and they don't like to show off in front of Xichun.

How can this work.

Xichun brought out the elimination system. From now on, an assessment will be conducted every three months. After one year, the grade will be determined according to the assessment of the previous year. Good work will be rewarded. If it's not good, go down, and in short, no one will be allowed to eat and wait to die.

The elimination system caused a great commotion among the people below, who scrambled to express themselves every day, and the efficiency of packing up and saluting went up to a higher level in an instant.

Mother Liu also sent over the key to the account book and asked her how to arrange it.

Xichun still forcefully put the key of the account book back into Mother Liu's hand, and turned to look for Madam Hu.

She doesn't plan to take the two nuns to Lingnan. Madam Hu stays in Beijing. One is to have multiple sources of information about something in Beijing. The other is to help look after her shop in Beijing. Third, you can try Competing for the hearts and minds of Nan'an Palace, the fourth is to help make a look of serving the Nan'an concubine.

Xichun didn't make any hard demands either, she just said that they will come back in the future, and it can't be the same as now, that group of people will all listen to Mama Liu and the others, right?If this was the case, she would not be able to stay in Nan'an Palace, unless all the people were changed, but that would be too noisy.

Madam Hu said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Princess Jun, I will definitely not let you down." Isn't it just to win people's hearts?Are things like this rare in the palace?

Xichun smiled and said: "I was raised by two nuns, so I naturally trust them, but nuns should be more careful, everything should be safe for our side."

Then Xichun talked about the remaining maids and mother-in-law, and asked Madam Hu to look at them, focusing on Lidong.

"I won't hide from you about Lidong. This girl doesn't know what's going on. She got into a dead end. I've already scolded her, but it's hard to guarantee that she won't continue to think about it in the future. Please trouble me to watch it on weekdays. Just hit it, if she can't figure it out..."

Xichun sighed, if Lidong couldn't figure it out, then he could only pretend that they didn't have this fate.
