Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 85 Trivia
Although Cuiming was a gift from the old lady, and even Sheng Changquan could not easily neglect her, in the end, Cuiming was still just a servant. If the master disliked her, her future days would naturally be difficult.

Moreover, if Cuiming could become a first-class maid, regardless of the benefits, just talking about it would be a very prestigious thing!

Moreover, Cuiming is the one who has been with Sheng Changquan the longest. If she is not promoted to a first-class maid now, how will she face the new people in Sheng Changquan's courtyard in the future?
Therefore, both in terms of sentiment and reason, Cuiming should be honored at this time. That is why Cuiming showed a genuine smile when she heard Sheng Changquan's words.

It is estimated that Cuiming will pay even more attention to Sheng Changquan in the future.

"Yes, that's true!"

After hearing Sheng Changquan's reasoning, Madam Wang straightened her arm, used gravity to adjust her sleeve, and nodded to herself, agreeing with his words.

"In that case, let me pick a few for you!"

Madam Wang did not refuse; this was exactly what she wanted.

It wasn't that she wanted to place people in her own household; it was simply because Madam Wang had just suffered a great humiliation at the hands of her own son, Sheng Changbai, and was currently in a bad mood!
Since I can't get any help from my own son, I might as well try to get some influence from my adopted son. That's not a bad idea.

So, with the air of choosing maids for her son, she pointed and selected the four most outstanding ones.

"You, you, you, and you!"

Like choosing watermelons, Madam Wang directly pointed out the four with the best looks and figures, saying, "The four of you can stay!"

Since these maids had already been selected from the slave traders, they weren't particularly bad. Moreover, since the initial idea was to select maids for Sheng Changbai, Madam Wang had already taken a look at them long ago.

At this moment, based on her own impressions, Madam Wang easily made her selections, or rather, she selected the few she wanted to choose for Sheng Changbai.

"Haha! Finally, I can choose the girl I like!"

Madam Wang let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had expelled all the pent-up emotions from her stomach, appearing extremely refreshed and satisfied!
Behind her, Liu Mama, who was standing next to Madam Wang, twitched her cheeks slightly as she stared at the unbearable sight before her.

"I don't know what Brother Bai was thinking, that he would drive the girl to this state?"

Madam Liu knew what had happened to Madam Wang earlier and understood Sheng Changbai's attitude towards it. She also knew the frustration Madam Wang felt. Madam Liu could only shake her head inwardly, thinking that the mother and son were truly...

It's a long story...

"Brother Quan, let's keep these four!"

Madam Wang turned her head and, as a gesture, spoke up alongside Sheng Changquan, saying, "As for the second and third grades, you can choose for yourself!"

"Yes, mother!"

Sheng Changquan smiled and nodded, showing no sign of reluctance.

Madam Wang smiled with satisfaction at this.

Having accomplished this "important task," Madam Wang didn't want to stay any longer. She immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

"You just moved in today, so you must have a lot to do. If you need anything, feel free to come to Wei Rui Xuan to find me!"

After giving Sheng Changquan some instructions, Madam Wang seemed to remember something and quickly pulled Sheng Changquan aside, saying, "Oh, right!"

"Go to Shou'an Hall to see the old lady in a little while. It seems she has something to tell you!"

Recalling the old lady's instructions when she paid her respects earlier, Madam Wang said, "Grandmother?"

Sheng Changquan was somewhat surprised, wondering what his grandmother was going to do.
"Could it be that you're going to give me a gift?"

Since it was a matter of propriety, Sheng Changquan was secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply respectfully saw Madam Wang out of the courtyard.

"Take care, Mother!"

Ahead, Madam Wang waved her hand and led the remaining group of maids out quickly.

As they walked, she muttered to herself, "You have no idea, that boy Changbai is so stubborn, he won't listen to anything I say! It makes me so angry, I'm sweating bullets..."

Only after Madam Wang and the others had completely disappeared from his sight did Sheng Changquan slowly straighten up and return to his room.

Sheng Changquan has been living in this world for three years now, so he naturally knows the ironclad rules of survival in this world and understands the hardships of life.

Not to mention, he was born out of wedlock.

He knew in his heart that no matter how much he pleased Madam Wang, he could never win against her own children. Therefore, Sheng Changquan always knew how to conduct himself properly.

Be proud but not arrogant, and maintain a firm stance!
In other words, we must stand on Madam Wang's side, unite against the outside world, and be hostile to the people of Linxi Pavilion.

Sheng Changquan, who had long discovered the animosity between the two sides, naturally did not mind expressing his own attitude and joining Wang Da Niangzi in opposing Lin Qinshuang. However, due to his status as an illegitimate son, he could only express this inclination in secret and did not openly engage in battle.

Sheng Changquan and Madam Wang had a tacit understanding about this. Although Madam Wang had some complaints, she didn't say much. After all, she had raised Sheng Changquan for so long, and there was genuine affection between them.

"Brother Quan!"

As soon as Sheng Changquan entered, Cuiming came up to him, pointed to the four little maids in a row beside him, and asked with difficulty, "How should we arrange these maids?"

Because they spend a lot of time together, Cuiming and Sheng Changquan don't have many rules in private, which is why they address each other that way.

After all, only close, older people would address Sheng Changquan in this way.

Sheng Changquan glanced at the four nervous young girls opposite him, smiled, and said, "Sister Cuiming, my grandmother wants me to go over there right now, so I'll ask you to teach these girls some manners for now. We'll talk about the specifics when I get back."

Cui Ming wasn't too surprised: "Yes."

"Ok!"

Turning back to look at the girls, Sheng Changquan smiled at them deliberately and said gently, "Don't be afraid!"

"Now that you've entered the Sheng residence and are in my courtyard, as long as you follow the rules of the courtyard, there won't be any problems!"

Originally, Sheng Changquan wanted to say some comforting words to ease the other party's tension, but who knew that after he said those words, the four girls opposite him became even more frightened.

One of them was even timid and thin; his body was trembling and swaying, which was quite pitiful.

"Alright! I'd better go first!"

Sheng Changquan gave Cui Ming a wry smile, then simply left the courtyard and headed towards Shou'an Hall.
