Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 31 Preparation
It's really strange.As a child who grew up under the red flag in the 80s, although I haven't learned traditional Chinese characters, who hasn't read a few pirated Taiwanese pocket comics?After reading a lot, basically the common traditional characters can be recognized.

But I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between being able to recognize and being able to write.

"Hundreds of family names?" Bai Xin was really in a dilemma. The characters she could recognize were "from one to ten" that the young lady taught just now. Although there are ten in total, these ten characters are so simple, and, " None of the three words "Hundred Family Names" are included in these ten words.

So, how does she know if there is "Hundred Surnames" in the yard?
"Damn it..." Xu Manzhen cursed secretly in her heart, why couldn't she choose any word, but why did she choose the word above the names of hundreds of families?I am afraid that many of the above are different in traditional and simplified characters!

"Come on, let's learn the third character on "Hundred Surnames". It's also a very common surname. It's pronounced 'Sun'..." Xu Manzhen thought and thought, and confirmed two or three times that the character Sun has traditional and simplified characters. The spelling should be consistent.

As for whether her confirmation is correct or not, she actually has no idea in her heart.

Once my sister traveled to ancient times, a dignified university graduate (well, the film and television school is also a bachelor's degree), turned out to be a semi-literate person!

Speaking out is hitting people!

Why do so many women think time travel is a good thing?It's a very sad thing if you can't even recognize the words, right?
"Miss, what are the first and second words?" Bai Xin asked cautiously.It's so strange, why does the lady want to teach from the third word?Is there something wrong with the first and second words?

"The "Hundred Surnames" is read like this. The first sentence is 'Zhao Qiansun Li', so the first character is the word Zhao... It's just, it's just... Your lady forgot how to write the word Zhao." Xu Manzhen Said a little angrily.

Bai Xin is really serious, there must be a reason for avoiding the word, and she still has to ask clearly.I don't know, it's good to be confused, it's good to be confused, is it the rarest thing to be confused?

"The word for money..." Bai Xin was stunned, and said it loudly, and then saw her young lady's face that quickly turned black, and she finally understood what she had belatedly, and quickly covered her mouth.

"Okay, okay, I'm still a tiger, I won't eat you, so don't be afraid to be like that." Xu Manzhen said angrily.

Bai Xin stuck out her tongue quietly, and smiled shyly at Xu Manzhen.

Miss is really nice!Jiang Gui stood outside the door, looking at the two people in the room, envious, but also a little puzzled.

Unlike Bai Xin, Jiang Gui has been working in this yard for a year.The last time the Yiye Garden was cleaned up by the National People's Congress, many of the people who used to work here were sold out or sent to Zhuangzi.

And she, because her mother gave a lot of favors to the most proud daughter-in-law in front of Fourth Aunt, finally stayed.

However, her mother still wanted to find a place for her, but she couldn't do so.

Originally, according to her experience, she should have avoided the second lady far away. She had always done this before, but for some reason, a few days ago, when she saw the second lady face the disgusting pastry, she didn't. When Hu flew into a rage like usual, she felt something——

Second Miss, I'm afraid it has changed.

Those who look at her with old eyes will be disappointed.

So she purposely showed her face in front of Second Miss, in exchange for her attention.

Sure enough, Second Miss left many things to her to handle next.

But Jiang Gui knew that it would not be easy for him to be as embarrassing as Bai Xin in front of Second Miss.However, as long as Second Miss is willing to give her a chance, she will definitely perform well and strive to become Miss's confidant.

Bai Xin is too clear, more than loyal, but not capable enough.Miss will definitely need a helper like herself.

Now One Leaf Garden is full of people, each with their own thoughts, and almost none of them are truly loyal. This is my best chance.

After they really ascended to the position, others wake up and try to please Miss... Even if they are more capable than themselves, they won't have such a good opportunity.

But now, looking at the friendly atmosphere between Miss and Bai Xin, that silly girl Bai Xin even laughed at Miss for being ignorant, and Miss didn't even blame her...

It's really the same as before, not at all.

She must seize this opportunity.

One day, Miss will never be able to leave herself again!

"Miss...Miss..." Jiang Gui called softly by the door.

"Oh...Jiang Gui, what's the matter with you?" The master and servant in the room were laughing. Hearing the voice outside, Xu Manzhen turned her head, looked at the door, and said in surprise.

Jiang Gui is different from Bai Xin. She has no doubts about Bai Xin's loyalty, but Bai Xin's ability is indeed a bit weak.

Of course, someone who looks good enough to be a maid, and who is also very clever, will never be the turn of the former Second Miss Xu Manzhen.

Jiang Gui, on the other hand, is a bit inferior in appearance, barely considered handsome, and his loyalty has to be discounted, but there is no doubt that he is smart and capable.

Moreover, he is also very good at seizing opportunities.How many years have been in the entertainment industry, if Xu Manzhen still can't see what the light shining in the eyes of this little girl named Jiang Gui represents, then all these years will be in vain.

However, the smarter you are, the harder it is to control.They must be convinced of their masters, and they will be willing to contribute their ingenuity.

If you can't completely convince them, the result will be that the slave bullies the master and turns the client into the master...

So she knew that Jiang Gui must have something important to report when she was looking for her, but Xu Manzhen put on airs.If Jiang Gui's vigor is not worn away, she will not really use her with confidence.

"Miss, this servant has inquired about a little situation, and came here to report to Miss." Jiang Gui lowered her head and said softly.

She knew that in order to gain the trust of the young lady, she had to show her intelligence and let the young lady realize her value.

Realize that her value cannot be replaced by a white heart.

"Come in." Xu Manzhen thought for a while, and called Jiang Gui in.

This is the first time Jiang Gui has seen this room.In the past, she was just a rough cleaning maid, how could she be qualified to enter this room?
So I was still a little apprehensive.

Walking all the way to Xu Manzhen, Jiang Gui knelt down and saluted Xu Manzhen, and Xu Manzhen asked her to get up and asked her what was the matter.

Jiang Gui spoke softly.

It turned out that after she left Xu Shuzhen's Pearl Pavilion yesterday, Xu Shuzhen burned those two clothes for some unknown reason. It is said that the women and maids in her yard tried their best to snatch them, but they only snatched some scorched cloth strips.

And after the third lady burned the clothes, she fell ill... I invited a doctor, and the doctor said that it was because of my anger and endless distractions that I fell ill.

The fourth aunt who was in charge of the housework saw that the matter was getting big, and she didn't dare to hide it, so she reported it to the head of the family, Xu Shixun, which made Xu Shixun furious, and found out that it was Xu Manzhen who forced Xu Shuzhen's clothes, but she left because she was young, but Xu Shuzhen was angry again I was also afraid, just now I burned the clothes... Then I punished my second daughter for a full month of confinement.

"I don't seem to have arranged for you to inquire about this matter?" Xu Manzhen heard the news and thought about it carefully before she smiled and said to Jiang Gui who was standing in front of her.

"I hope Miss will forgive me!" Jiang Gui knelt down as soon as she heard Xu Manzhen's words, and said in awe, "Jiang Gui was afraid that Miss would be locked up in the courtyard and not know anything, and that she would suffer from some people... so I specially Inquiry. If the lady doesn't like it, then Jiang Gui will only do what the lady orders from now on..."

"No, you did a good job." Xu Manzhen said meaningfully, looked at Jiang Gui, and said, "You are a smart person, and naturally you know what's going on in the mansion even though I am a concubine...but , since you showed me kindness, I naturally appreciate it, you have done a good job in this matter, miss, I naturally want to reward you."

Xu Manzhen paused, and then said: "According to reason, Miss Di's yard is equipped with one first-class maid, three second-class maids, five third-class maids... and some coarse envoy maids and three maids. I'm a woman in charge. But now, there is no first-class maid in the yard. As my first-class maid, Bai Xin is only a second-class maid, and there are no third-class maids. For you, there are only four."

The problem of this maid's disproportionate configuration, from the perspective of the plot, is that the fourth aunt was harsh and deliberately made things difficult for Xu Manzhen, the prostitute daughter, so that she, as a concubine daughter, did not enjoy the treatment of a concubine daughter.

But in fact, Xu Manzhen knew that it wasn't Fourth Aunt who was the one who was blamed, so she couldn't laugh or cry when she said it, it was just because Editor Yu deliberately wrote fewer people in order to save money for the crew.

As long as it is not a very strict costume drama, the prince will walk when he goes out, and the princess has only one maid, not to mention that this drama is just a bitter drama in ancient costumes, which can arrange five maids for an unappreciated daughter-in-law , is already very extravagant.

Of course, the other three are just a name, and only the two in front of me have actually arranged actors.Bai Xin is the standard configuration, and Jiang Gui is because of the appearance later.

But now that she is here, she naturally wants to ask Si Yiniang to get all the staff.As a concubine, the Xu family is not short of such a few people, why not match her up?Isn't this a person from the Diaoxu Mansion?
Alas, Xu Manzhen sighed melancholy, the manpower in her yard is really far behind.

Xu Manzhen's understanding of manpower allocation is that it was the establishment of every state agency in her previous life.As she knew before, didn't all the units and agencies try their best to fill up the establishment?
I have never heard of a unit that has a vacancy but does not recruit.
