Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 8
Zhao Xi was stunned for a while.

The father is the prime minister, the second uncle is rich in Chang'an, and the third uncle guards Xiliang. Unexpectedly, there will be another fourth aunt who enters the palace and becomes the empress...

It seems that this Xiangfu is more complicated than she imagined.

Zhao Xiwei's heart moved, and he asked sideways: "I heard that the two palaces are not in harmony, is Concubine Shu okay?"

"Exactly!" Yin Bao frowned and said, "It's because the queen mother doesn't like the imperial concubine that she called our aunt into the palace. But don't worry, your majesty likes the concubine Shu very much!"

Referring to the emperor, Yin Bao covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "You don't know, since Empress Gu passed away, His Majesty has never spoiled any concubine, until our concubine Shu entered the palace..."

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat, feeling even worse.

The Zhao family has already stood at the pinnacle of power and favor, and now there is a favored concubine...

She was about to continue asking when she suddenly heard Pearl's voice from outside the door: "Miss, Master Xiang has sent someone to deliver something."

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly went out to see, only to see a guard in a sapphire blue suit bringing a wooden box.

Seeing Zhao Xiwei, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly, "My subordinate Chang Song has seen Miss, and Master Xiang ordered his subordinates to bring these."

Zhao Xi hurriedly turned sideways and bowed back to thank him, and Chang Song explained a few words to Xiang Ye before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as Changsong entered the garden, the maids and old women were shocked.

Xiangye never asked about the affairs of the back house. Even if there was anything, he would leave it to the old lady and the lady to handle it.No matter how bad it is, let the big maid in his room have a word.

As for the servants beside Xiangye, they all followed him in and out of the palace, and this status was not comparable to the female family members of the inner house.

Now that Xiangye has personally asked his personal attendant to deliver things for the sake of the young lady, it shows how much their new master is valued!
As soon as Chang Song left, several maids gathered around curiously. The box was huge, and the four of them worked together to carry it into the room.

Open the box, everyone's eyes are stagnant.

The grandfather actually gave the young lady a box of books.

A few maids opened their mouths slightly: "Miss, Xiangye doesn't want you to copy books, right!?"

Jinxiu thought clearly: "Miss, Master Xiang gave you so many books, which shows that he values ​​you very much."

Zhao Xiwei took a look, there are ancient books of scriptures and history, strange stories and stories, as well as county and county maps and so on, there are many kinds.

She picked up a book and opened it, and saw a vermilion red seal on it.

The name of the signature is Tai Changqing Shen Mu.

It was her maternal grandfather.

Shen Mu was a great Wei Hongru, who ruled over Taixue and had numerous disciples.

And Zhao Ziyi is his most proud student.

Zhao Xiwei flicked his fingers lightly across the yellowed but flat pages, and occasionally there were a few lines of green and vigorous small letters on it, carefully marking the interpretation.

It must have been read by my father before.

She was unfamiliar and in awe of this father.

Yu Ye stopped the sedan chair for help, his eyes were cold and his posture was loose, and the majesty and bearing of his body made her dare not look directly.

On the way back to the mansion, he was silent for a long time before slowly saying something serious to himself:
"The Zhao mansion is no different from ordinary people. Your return this time will inevitably cause an uproar. The affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, so I can't keep an eye on you. When you return to the mansion, remember to know how to act according to the situation. Mrs. Xu has a bad temperament, but she has a good heart. She speaks and does things. Always follow your own emotions, and don't argue with her head-on. The servants in the house may find it difficult to surrender at the moment, so you have to be more careful and slowly build up your own prestige.

But if any of them dare to bully you blatantly, you don't have to blindly give in, you must know how to take the initiative to protect your own interests, and you can decide for yourself if you can handle some things yourself. Remember not to feel wronged in your heart. "

His eyes were kind and gentle: "Since I took the lead and brought you back to the mansion, I will rely on me for everything in the future. You have to trust Daddy."

Zhao Xi stood blankly in the study, recalling his father's earnest advice, and the warmth radiated from the bottom of his heart little by little.

She suddenly felt that fate was not so unfair to her. Although she had suffered enough for the past ten years, she now came to her father's side.

Even though her grandmother was on guard against her, her stepmother hated her, and her younger sister plotted against her, her father really cared about her.

She has no mother, but still has a father.

She must cherish this hard-won family affection and work hard to live...

"Miss, dinner is here." Pearl stood at the door and reported, "When will dinner be served?"

"Let's do it now." Zhao Xiwei felt hungry, "Just put it in the warm pavilion."

Just after the door curtain was lifted, Jinxiu came over with Mrs. Tang in her arms: "Miss, the snow just stopped today, be careful of catching a cold."

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "It's hard for you to have a heart."

Jinxiu held her hand and said with a smile, "This is what slaves should do."

Zhao Xi smiled and stopped answering.

When I first arrived, these family-born servants in the mansion were all people who were used to watching words and expressions, praising highs and stepping down. After my father's personal attendants came here, everyone was very attentive to her.

The way to control people is to attack the heart; the way to control the next is to pay equal attention to both grace and power.

These four maids belonged to the eldest lady's courtyard and were sent to serve in this isolated courtyard. It was impossible for them to be loyal to him as soon as they came up.

So you need to work hard.

A girl with a delicate mind like Jinxiu needs to maintain a certain distance and majesty to make her feel awe in her heart.

The pearl brought the copper basin, Zhao Xi cleaned his hands slightly, took the brocade handkerchief handed by Yulan, and wiped it carefully.

But I heard Yinbao suddenly scolded: "The big kitchen is too deceiving!"

There is a bowl of cabbage, a plate of tofu, and a bowl of soup with no oil stars, and various vegetable leaves floating on it.

Several maids looked different.

I knew for a long time that the life of the new master would not be easy, but I didn't expect it to be so sad...

Is it even a luxury to eat a hot meal?

Holding high and stepping low is a common problem in high gate courtyards. Miss, the first day she returned home, she was so blatantly bullied by the big kitchen...

Yin Bao rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out: "This group of dogs sees lowly things, the slaves will go and ask for an explanation!"

The expressions of the remaining three people changed greatly, and Jinxiu hurriedly stopped her: "What are you in a hurry!"

"It's all bullying us, can you bear it?" Yin Bao was held down by several people and sat on the chair, "Those women in the big kitchen always bully the soft and fear the hard, the lady has her dignity and it is not convenient to come forward, but we are slaves. What decency do you want!"

Jinxiu called out "Auntie" anxiously, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't make trouble for the young lady! The master has only entered the house today, so you will go and make trouble with the kitchen. It will be a long time in the future. Do you go to the kitchen every day?"

"Then what should I do, I can't be so angry every day in the future, right?" Yin Bao pouted, stopped talking, and looked at Zhao Xiwei with Wuyuan and Wuyuan's eyes.

Everyone looked at it blankly.

How will their new master solve this problem?
