Chapter 8 008: Mrs. Chang's good trick

Grandma Zhong looked at Chang Xi's actions, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't surprised. Chang San'e's demeanor and behavior didn't look like a peasant girl. If people didn't know her real background, they might mistake her for She is a lady cultivated by a noble family.

It's a pity that no matter how good the manners are, it's useless. Birth is a flaw. In the future, everyone is doomed. Everyone has their own destiny. No matter how much she regrets, it will be in vain.

It's just that she didn't know that many years later, her thoughts would be slapped in the face by reality, and Chang Xi had reached a height that she never dreamed of.

Of course this is another story.

At this time, Nanny Zhong turned her eyes from Chang Xi to Chunye and Hongye, and immediately put on a serious face.

Chunye and Hongye, who were standing politely aside, couldn't help shivering, and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Nanny Zhong.

Outside, the people brought by Nanny Zhong also brought in the sharp-faced maid who guarded the door, and there were a few rude servants standing outside the house, but compared to the trembling sharp-faced maid, the rough servants all looked like Secretly watching a good show.

Although they can't wait in the back room, how could they not know what happened in the back room yesterday?

It's just that I didn't expect that the little hoofs who had been domineering for a few days after they took the position, would be cleaned up so quickly, which is really gratifying.

"There is also a gatekeeper named Xiaotao, I don't know where he went..."

Nanny Zhong frowned, where did these people learn the rules?

She was about to speak, when Chang Xi who was on the side spoke first, "Xiao Tao, I wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus and crabapple cake just now, so I asked her to go to the kitchen to get it."

Nanny Zhong looked at Chang Xi in surprise, she thought she would be silent to the end, but she didn't expect to speak for that maid named Xiao Tao.

Chang Xi smiled at Nanny Zhong, and stopped talking this time, but concentrated on drinking tea, as if you can do whatever you want, and I won't interrupt.

Xiaotao, who had just returned from serving sweet-scented osmanthus and crabapple cakes, saw the battle in the back room, and her scalp tensed up. Just when she heard what Chang Xi said, she secretly emboldened herself, entered the back room cautiously, first saluted Nanny Zhong, Then put the pastries on the small table on Luohan's bed.

"Miss Chang, the pastry is here. The cook said it's best to eat it while it's hot." After finishing speaking, she retreated to the back of Chunye and Hongye, after all, she is still a second-class maid.

"Thanks for your hard work." Chang Xi was not afraid of the current atmosphere, seeing Xiaotao waving her hand to say that it wasn't hard work, she then looked at Nanny Zhong, "Mother Zhong, do you want to come too?"

"No, I don't like this sweet and greasy pastry." Nanny Zhong refused, but looked at Xiao Tao secretly.

That's a pity.

Chang Xi sighed, and then began to enjoy the pastries. Whether the water is good or the air is good, the pastries are much sweeter in ancient times.

A sip of pastry, a sip of tea, just in time to watch the big show in front of her, this is the only entertainment at present, she cherishes it very much.

Grandma Zhong ignored Chang Xi's eyes watching the play, and said directly, "Miss Chang, since Xiaotao is still useful, let her wait here to serve you. As for the lack of service of these three people, I will take them back and pick a few later." OK, bring it back."

Except for Xiaotao, the faces of the other three immediately turned pale.

Chunye hurriedly knelt down, "Nurse Zhong, I'm really not lazy. Really, if you don't believe me, ask Mrs. Chang if I'm serving you with all my heart..."

Hong Ye also knelt down, but instead of looking at Nanny Zhong, she looked at Chang Xi, who had a relaxed face, and said with tears in her eyes, "Miss Chang, tell me a word, you should know in your heart whether we are doing well or not." That's right?"

Although the expression is sad, the tone is questioning.

How could Chang Xi like her?
Want to put her on the fire to roast, no way!
Does she seem too soft-hearted?
Besides, these two people are of little value to her, let alone not very shrewd people, don't think that she will ignore the occasional disdainful eyes of these two people if they gossip about her family affairs these two days .

Hehe, looking down on her while still wanting her to save her, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

They should be thankful that they met her who had to dormant for the time being, otherwise they would have been able to drink a pot for the two of them.

Chang Xi didn't even look at the two of them, but looked directly at Nanny Zhong, and said lightly, "This is the maid of your mansion, I don't comment on it as an outsider, otherwise it will interfere with Nanny Zhong's business, and then it will be I have committed a crime, so Nanny Zhong please forgive me."

It means don't take me into consideration, I'm just a person watching the fire from the other side.

Nanny Zhong's face had already darkened. She now has a deep understanding of the lack of discipline of these two people. I really don't know how she misunderstood and promoted these two people at the beginning?

When Chunye and Hongye heard Chang Xi's prevarication, their bodies were a little shaky. If they were kicked out from here, not only would they have no chance of promotion in the future, they would even become a joke in the house. Several notches lower.

Thinking of the gloomy future in the future, the two turned to crying to Nanny Zhong, "Mother Zhong, we will definitely change our ways in the future, please give us another chance..."

Grandma Zhong was unmoved, she would hear such begging every few days, now that she knew how to beg, why did she go so early?

She winked at the woman she had brought, and immediately two women came up and pulled up Chunye and Hongye one by one, and forced them to leave.

Chunye and Hongye were really scared this time, and they cried and begged endlessly.

On the contrary, the sharp-faced maid who guarded the gate just followed Nanny Zhong's people with a pale face, without showing any ugliness.

Seeing this situation, Xiaotao was so frightened that she stood there at a loss what to do, feeling sad for them and thankful for herself.

Chang Xi, who was watching the play the whole time, was the calmest. When Nanny Zhong got up to say goodbye and left, she blew on the tea in the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said, "Nurse Zhong, I have an unsympathetic feeling." please……"

Nanny Zhong turned to look at her, "Miss Chang, please speak frankly."

Chang Xi looked directly at Nanny Zhong with a half-smile, "It's just that the primroses in the yard outside are too noisy, I'd better ask Mammy to send someone over to clean them up."

It's early summer now, where are the primroses?Even if there are, there are not many, and they will definitely not disturb anyone.

Nanny Zhong just thought so, but in a blink of an eye, she understood what Chang Xi was saying, and it was within her expectation that she came here to deal with these useless maids.

Then how did I know about the news about this small courtyard, it seems that I can't hide it from her, so this lady Chang wants to remove the eyeliner in this courtyard by herself.

At this moment, she took a deep look at Chang Xi, and had a deeper understanding of this lady Chang. This person's intelligence really exceeded her expectations.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, I won't let them disturb you to rest in the future."

"That's very good."

Chang Xi is not afraid of Grandma Zhong saying one thing and another behind the other. Since she made her point clear, it means that no matter what tricks she uses behind the scenes, she will not be able to hide it from her. There are people above Nanny Zhong. If Shi Shi's lips were twisted, I'm afraid this Nanny Zhong might not be able to please her.

Of course, this is a lose-lose approach, and it will not be done unless it is a last resort.

Nanny Zhong understood Chang Xi's intentions in her heart, but she felt uncomfortable after all, so she said in a cold and authentic tone, "The old man is leaving, it's better for Mrs. Chang to take care of her wounds..."

If you hit someone with a note, then you must give a red date, Chang Xili is well versed in human nature.

So she didn't finish listening to Nanny Zhong's words, but interrupted with a smile, "Since Mammy thinks so much about me, I must repay Mammy." , you have always acted shrewdly, why did you stumble this time?"

What do you mean?
Nanny Zhong originally wanted to give Chang Xi something to listen to, but now that she heard her words, she subconsciously began to think deeply.

But Chang Xi didn't wait for her to figure it out, and directly said to see off the guests, "Xiao Tao, send Nanny Zhong off for me."

Xiaotao has been lowering her sense of existence, and now when she heard Chang Xi calling her, she subconsciously answered "Yes", and only after she reacted did she know what Chang Xi had ordered her to do.

Faced with a woman in charge like Nanny Zhong, she has always been rather timid, but since Chang Xi has secured her position as a second-class maid, she must follow Chang Xi's example.

She still understood this point, so she boldly stepped forward and made a gesture of seeing off the guests to Nanny Zhong, "Nurse Zhong, this way please."

Nanny Zhong glanced at Xiao Tao who was obviously still trembling, and in just one day and one night, this Xiao Tao had already been subdued by Chang Xi, even if she refused to accept it.

"Chang Niangzi used a good trick." She said with a smug smile.

"Nurse Zhong, you're being polite. I'm a country boy, and I'll have to rely on Grandma a lot in the future."

Chang Xi never thought of hiding in front of Nanny Zhong, and of course she couldn't be aggressive, after all, she still had to deal with her in the future, and the fourth wife, Mrs. Qin, whom she hadn't met so far, asked her to be in charge of her affairs.

So this degree must be handled well.

Listening to Chang Xi's humble words, Grandma Zhong felt more comfortable, and her face softened a lot when she left.

It's just that as soon as she left Chang Xi's courtyard, she suddenly understood what she hadn't thought about before.

Was it wrong for her to promote Chunye, Hongye and others?
Not necessarily, people who have stayed in the mansion for a few years will learn the rules more or less, and Chunye and others behaved quite decently that day.

So what's wrong?

Someone must be doing something behind the scenes, trying to disturb her errand. If she can't do the errand with Madam, won't she be pulled down?
Thinking of this, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

She knew that she had attracted the envy of many people, and there were many people who wanted her to fall down, so she immediately became suspicious of a few women in charge who were usually difficult to deal with.

At this moment, she looked back at the unremarkable small courtyard, and Chang Xi's smiling face appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help feeling a little vigilant and admiring.

Now that she knew where the problem was, she had to quickly find out who was behind the scenes, and she would never let her go.
