Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 11

Both of them were children abandoned by their parents. When their hometown suffered a disaster, they felt that their daughter was in the way, so they left their daughter alone. In the end, they were accepted by the passing Yongning Hou and brought back to help the two daughters.

Because of this life-saving grace, they were very grateful to Yongninghou, and they had a good impression of Yongninghou's daughter before they met, and vowed to take good care of the benefactor's daughter.The eldest girl doesn't want Mei Qiu, it makes her very disappointed.Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise, and the second girl asked for herself. Compared with the elder girl who didn't treat her as a maid, the second girl was like a fairy.

The second girl seldom cares about what the girls do, but everyone must do their jobs well.If it is not done well, the second girl will not say anything, she will only tell Wang that such a person cannot be kept in her yard.The Wang family will pull these people who have made mistakes out of their teeth and sell them.

So all the people in Chaoyang Pavilion knew that the second girl was not good at punishing people, but she was too lazy to do it, and she would never give people a chance to correct their mistakes, not even giving them a second chance to commit a crime.

In fact, Shu Ning's idea is very simple, if you don't serve her, then replace her with someone else. People who want to serve her can line up from her Chaoyang Pavilion to the gate of the Marquis Mansion, not just from the imperial palace to the gate of the capital.

In ancient times, the most indispensable thing was people. The Hou Mansion had to buy people every year, and they were much more obedient than these people. Why would she talk nonsense with these servants and waste her saliva!
Facing the simple and rude treatment of the second girl, the people in Chaoyang Pavilion are the most honest.In terms of loyalty, they are also the most loyal in the whole Hou's mansion, because they don't want to be sold. The second time they are sold, they will still be sold from the Hou's mansion, and they will only be sold to those desolate mountainous areas or black kilns.

In order not to be betrayed, can the people in Chaoyang Pavilion be disloyal and obedient?Besides, as long as you do well, the second girl will be rewarded, and the servants are the most rewarded in the entire Hou Mansion.The eldest girl is tight on money, and I heard that it is not necessary to reward the maids and women once a year, and she will also rob the maids and women of their monthly money, leaving only a small amount for them.

Compared with the second girl, although the eldest girl is not for sale, life in her Mianxiu Pavilion is even more difficult.But these people can't resist, because their contract of selling themselves is in the hands of the eldest girl, and it's just a word from the master to beat, kill or sell.

So the second girl's practice of giving a candy with a stick has been supported by the whole Hou's family. It is true that there is a distance in contrast.

What Shuning hates the most in spring is the endless drizzle, which is still falling today.

Seeing the wet outside early in the morning, the mood is definitely not happy.Before Shuning could go to Mrs. Wang's place to pay her respects, she waited until the majestic arrival of the eldest girl.

"What's the matter, big sister?"

Raising her hand, Mei Xia served tea to Shuhui, the girl herself rarely drank tea, but the tea here was definitely not inferior to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wang's.

Wang once said that you don't need to drink tea, but you have to know how to taste tea.At least you must be able to smell and taste what kind of tea you are serving when someone else offers it to you. This is the most basic thing for a girl. Otherwise, if someone invites you to a tea party, you won’t even be able to taste what kind of tea you are drinking. If you come out, it will be ridiculous.

These are the most basic training for a daughter of a noble family, so Shuning doesn't know how to drink tea, but she has good tea, and she can make good tea herself, so she understands tea better.

Shuhui has also had this kind of training, but she has always learned these things without paying attention, and only learned half the tune.Compared with tea, she prefers dancing and playing the piano, which are good weapons to seduce men, and Aunt Tao taught her daughter.

Because she seduced Yongning Hou by playing the piano and dancing, and she has been favored by many over the years, so she thought that all men in the world were like this, so she taught her daughter all her unique skills.

Shuning once heard from Wang that the Marquis of Yongning favored Aunt Tao just to see her as an actress, if she hadn't given birth to a big girl, for the sake of his daughter, Marquis Yongning would have treated her a little better. But in fact, in Marquis Yongning's heart, Aunt Tao is just an actress, who specializes in seasoning his life outside of watching plays and occasionally working part-time.
