Chapter 63 Taking in a Little Apprentice
"Then who are you usually close to?" Rong Yi asked again.

Xiaoya's eyes dimmed and she said, "I just came here and haven't made any friends yet."

Rong Yi looked at her and heard the local accent in her words.

"Why did you enter the mansion?"

"Our family was poor. My brother was just born and there was not enough food at home, so my father sold me in."

Hearing this, Rong Yi felt a little sorry for the little girl.

His tone also softened.

"You were assigned to Yingyan Courtyard as soon as you entered the mansion? Have you ever done anything in other courtyards before?"

Xiaoya shook her head and said honestly: "There are old people in the mansion who trained us. After half a month of training, we were asked to come to Yingyan Courtyard to serve. At that time, Madam had not yet entered the door."

Hearing this, Rong Yi frowned.

It's not that she looks down on the new maids who have entered the house, but the new ones are always a little worse than the experienced ones.

Who arranged the servants for Yingyanyuan?

"Are you the only one new here?" Rong Yi asked tentatively.

Xiaoya shook her head and said: "There are two others who are new here. I heard that the others are all old people in the house."

Rong Yi relaxed slightly and looked at the little maid in front of her. She looked a little naive, but the cleverness in her eyes seemed to be capable.

It is also a good thing to have new people, at least you can cultivate your own confidants.

Many things have pros and cons.

Just look at the perspective of the problem.

If the whole courtyard is full of newcomers, Rong Yi will wonder, is this someone in Prince An Ning's palace deliberately neglecting the young lady?
Thinking about it from the other side, although new people need to take time to educate, the people they train are their own people, but there is no guarantee that any ambitious person will turn their elbows outward.

What if the entire courtyard is filled with old people who were originally from Prince An Ning's Mansion?
I can't guarantee that everyone comes to Yingyan Court to serve the master instead of being an internal agent.

Looking at people is a technical job. Rong Yi looked at Xiaoya in front of her. She couldn't guarantee whether Xiaoya would be someone she could train well, or...

But there is one thing that changes people's hearts over time.Whether it is a person or a ghost, you can figure it out over time.

At present, we must be careful, but we must not go too far. We must also find trustworthy people and slowly cultivate them.

Rong Yi let out a long sigh and said, "From now on, just follow me."

Xiaoya's eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it: "Really? Are you willing to take me?"

Rong Yi couldn't help but smile: "Why don't you want to? How can it be fake?"

Xiaoya was a little incoherent: "But me, but others, no! But others say my qualifications are very poor!"

"..."

"No one wants to be my friend, let alone teach me anything." She said, her head already lowered.

Rong Yi looked at her and said, "No one is born stupid, only those who are unwilling to work hard."

Hearing this, Xiaoya hurriedly said: "I work hard! As long as you teach me, I will study hard!"

Rong Yi smiled in her heart, but her face was very calm and said: "That's it, why should you care about what others say?"

Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and stammered: "How can I not care? When they call me stupid and look like a fool, how can I not care?"

Rong Yi looked at her small face with low self-esteem and thought to herself, I thought I couldn't teach her much, but now it seems that there is really a lot to teach her with a piece of blank paper.

But now, not yet.

Rong Yi said: "I will teach you some things slowly in the future, so you don't have to worry. Now, I will assign you a task and you have to complete it."

"Okay! Just say it!"

Rong Yi paused and said, "Go and inform the other servants in Yingyan Court that Madam wants to lecture you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoya was quite surprised, and her face suddenly showed a bitter look.
