Chapter 153
Although there were ten great maids, there had to be a distinction between primary and secondary.
Otherwise, what would happen if everyone competed when something happened?
Therefore, Jia Hui simply promoted Sister Sister Xiren to chief maid and Hearing Hearing Qingwen to deputy chief.
Actually.
By rights.
Jin Jin Yuanyang, the greatest maid who had followed Old Lady Jia, and Ping'er, who helped Seeing Seeing Fengjie manage the house.
They were the most suitable to be chief and deputy.
But new emperor, new courtiers!
Now that Sister Sister Xiren and the others had come to him first.
Jia Hui naturally gave them a chance.
And if they didn't do well.
Jia Hui said, "If you don't do well, this chief and deputy will be re-divided!"
This was a warning to Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen, and also an incentive that the other women still had a chance.
This was a blow to the ecstatic Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen, and they calmed down a bit.
Jin Jin Yuanyang and Ping'er's eyes also lit up.
All nine maids were full of drive.
The most excited were Lin Lin Lin Hongyu and Chunyan, who were previously third-class maids!
Responsible for burning the tea stove and feeding the birds, although better than the lowest-class maids.
It wasn't much better.
Now, however, they were Love Love Like crows leaping onto branches to become phoenixes—well, not as exaggerated as phoenixes, becoming concubines would be becoming phoenixes, but that was also becoming divine birds.
So they were the happiest.
Jinchuan, Yuchuan, and Sheyue were second-class before.
They were also promoted now, so they were very happy.
Everyone was beaming.
Truly a new emperor, a new atmosphere!
This made Jia Hui smile slightly:
"Then Ruhua is a second-class maid, continuing to follow Concubine Sister Sister Xichun; Caiping and Cai'er remain third-class maids, also following Sister Sister Xichun."
"Yindie is second-class, Chaodou is third-class, following Concubine You."
"Yes! Lord Count!"
Sister Sister Xiren, Hearing Hearing Qingwen, and the others responded respectfully.
Subsequently, Jia Hui also made arrangements for Mother Liu:
"From now on, the kitchen is divided into an inner kitchen and an outer kitchen."
"The inner kitchen is for the masters' food."
"The outer kitchen is for the servants."
"Sun Sun Sanniang is a concubine, but she still retains all the rights to the entire inner and outer kitchens!"
"Mother Liu, you are the chief manager of the inner kitchen under her."
At this moment, the Grand View Garden had not been built yet, so Mother Liu naturally didn't have such great power.
This was a promotion a few years in advance.
Mother Liu immediately thanked Jia Hui happily, "Thank you, Lord Count, thank you, Lord Count, I will definitely work hard."
Jia Hui looked at this beautiful woman with good looks.
Thinking that she also had a daughter.
Liu Wu'er should be sixteen years old now, and although she was the daughter of a kitchen servant.
The book describes her as having a figure similar to Ping'er, Sister Sister Xiren, Jin Jin Yuanyang, and Zijuan, saying that her appearance was as beautiful as Ping'er, Jin Jin Yuanyang, Sister Sister Xiren, Zijuan, and others. Because she was the fifth in line, she was called Wu'er.
This was beauty-level.
Jia Hui wouldn't let it go, "If you have a daughter, you can also send her to the mansion to work."
He thought.
If Liu Wu'er was really good.
He could consider letting her fill the last vacancy among his ten great maids.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
Mother Liu was even happier.
Liu Wu'er was not working in the Jia family now.
But she was very eager to be a female slave in a powerful family.
Don't think the other party is cheap.
Because being a servant in a big family was the dream of many people, but they couldn't get it.
Just look at Ping'er wearing gold and jade.
Her monthly wages were better than the vast majority of people outside.
How many people outside were starving to death, fleeing from disasters?
At least being a servant in a powerful family.
You could have enough food and clothing.
If you mixed well and climbed higher, you could also support your family!
Not to mention being a servant for a top-tier powerful person Love Love Like Jia Hui?
It was truly a great happiness!
A great favor!
As the saying goes.
The servant in front of the Prime Minister's door is equivalent to a fifth-rank official!
But after being happy, Mother Liu said cautiously with some worry, "It's just, Lord Count, my little daughter Liu Wu'er has always been physically weak since she was a child."
She was afraid of not doing things well.. 0
And then attracting Jia Hui's disgust.
It would be bad if she was beaten to death or injured.
After hearing her words, Jia Hui remembered.
This Liu Wu'er seemed to have the weakness of Lin Lin Lin Daiyu, "always having a weak illness," and was a girl with a frail appearance.
It was precisely because of her "always having a weak illness" that the "Rose Dew leads to Poria Frost" was brought out, which showed the infighting among the maids in the Grand View Garden, pushing the story further.
And it was precisely because of the "always having a weak illness" that it was implied that Wu'er would be frightened by this incident and fall ill, and would die before long.
Thinking of this.
Jia Hui said warmly, "Then let her enter the mansion and recuperate well. If there are any medicinal herbs or tonics needed to treat the illness, just let the chief steward Jia Yun buy them, until the illness is healed."
Poria Frost, Love Love Like Rose Dew, was something the masters used to nourish their bodies, and it was not something a servant family could afford.
Even if it was Jia Huan, the young master, or Concubine Zhao, who was half a master, they could only secretly beg Caiyun to steal it if they wanted to eat it.
However, the physically weak Liu Wu'er was eating these precious things for various reasons.
These details also implied that she was not an ordinary servant, and although her background was not good, her food, clothing, and usage were similar to the young ladies of the Jia Mansion.
However, this was also something that Mother Liu, as a sister-in-law, worked hard to earn to support.
Jia Hui suddenly thought.
Mother Liu had not earned less money in the back kitchen.
Although that little money was a hundred thousand miles away from Lai Da and others.
But now with Sun Sun Sanniang here, Jia Hui was not afraid that she would make trouble again.
Plus, he was now covering the expenses of Liu Wu'er's tonics.
If she was still secretly doing this.
Hmph hmph!
"Then don't blame me, the Master, for whipping you severely!"
"Thank you, Lord Count, thank you, Lord Count! You are truly a great good person! Our mother and daughter are willing to be your slaves for the rest of our lives."
Not expecting to receive such a promise from Jia Hui, Mother Liu was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank Jia Hui a thousand times.
