rich concubine

Chapter 64

She asked cautiously: "Can I not go?"

Rong Yi's face hardened, and her tone was lukewarm: "Reason."

Seeing her changed expression, Xiaoya suddenly became nervous and hesitated: "I'm not familiar with them, and I don't usually talk. They won't listen to me."

Rong Yi pursed her lips and looked at her, saying nothing for a long time. Then she only asked: "Repeat what I just said."

Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and said: "You said... you go and inform the other servants in Yingyan Court that Madam wants to lecture you."

Rong Yi said: "Listen to my words from now on. I want you to inform them. As for whether you can call them over, that's not your business."

Xiaoya was dumbfounded for a moment, only to listen to Rong Yi's serious words: "Remember to listen to other people's words clearly in the future. When you can understand me, you will naturally be able to understand my wife's words as well."

Hearing this, Xiaoya understood, looked at Rong Yi gratefully, and said, "I remember!"

After saying that, she took a step back and crouched down, ready to inform.

Rong Yi looked at her back and suddenly stopped her and said, "Also, from now on, you can just answer whatever people ask you. If you don't ask, you don't have to answer."

Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. Rong Yi looked at her confused expression and said, "For example, when I asked you what your name was just now, you only need to answer this, and there is no need to mention your age or the time you entered the palace."

After a pause, Rong Yi added: "This is something you need to pay attention to when talking to outsiders. If the master asks, you must also know how to reply."

Xiaoya seemed to understand, but nodded firmly and said, "I remember everything!"

Rong Yi looked at her back and sighed suddenly.

She didn't expect that she would have a little apprentice when she was almost fifteen years old. This feeling of teaching her how to behave and do things was... not bad!

There is a little bit of pride.

But suddenly I felt sad.Look, being a slave to others is also a skill.

What to say and what not to say.

In fact, sometimes she couldn't figure it out herself.

After working as Qin Dailong's maid for so many years, she slowly figured out many things.

Sometimes, you have to swallow the losses you have suffered.

Then when he raised his head, his face was still calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

Rong Yi still remembers that when she was very young, she once poured water for Qin Dailong. Her wrist was weak and the handle of the teapot was hot. At that time, Qin Dailong was eager to drink water, so she had to pour it for her, but she couldn't bear it. She accidentally shook it due to the high temperature, and sprinkled a little water on the back of Qin Dailong's hand. Fortunately, it didn't blister, but just turned a little red.

But even so, Qin Dailong slapped her in pain, hitting her on the back of her neck. Although it didn't hit her cheek, it still made Rong Yi's face burn with pain, and the kettle in her hand tilted. , just facing her other hand, and poured it down.

She had a hand blister herself.

Although Qin Dailong later applied medicine and felt no pain, she also apologized to Rong Yi for her recklessness. Maybe she really didn’t mean to hit Rong Yi, nor did she mean to let Rong Yi burn her hand. She was really apologetic at that time. , he couldn't hold it back and accidentally injured her, but for Rong Yi, it taught her a heavy lesson.

From now on, whenever she wanted to drink from the hot kettle, Rong Yi would pour it out. Even if it was hot, she would squeeze it tightly. It didn't matter if her fingers were blistered, because Rong Yi was already afraid that her whole hand would be soaked in the soup. The taste of pouring the lid, I dare not move for such a long time...

How can it be easy to be a servant?
The dignity that others can see is just rewarded by the master.

There is no real decency.

Over the years, the decency Rong Yi has learned is nothing more than respect from her own heart.
