Chapter 231
Although there were ten great maids, they still had to be divided into primary and secondary.
Otherwise, what would happen if everyone competed when something happened?
Therefore, Jia Hui simply promoted Xiren to chief maid and Qingwen to deputy chief.
Actually,
logically speaking,
Yuanyang, the greatest maid who followed Old Mother Jia, and Ping'er, who helped Fengjie manage the house,
were the most suitable to be chief and deputy.
But one emperor, one court!
Now that Xiren and the others were the first to follow him,
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 Xiren and Qingwen, and also an incentive for the rest of the women that there was still a chance.
This made Xiren and Qingwen, who were originally ecstatic, instantly hit with a stick, and they calmed down a bit.
Yuanyang and Ping'er's eyes also lit up.
All nine maids were full of drive.
The most excited were Lin Hongyu and Chunyan, who were previously third-class maids!
Responsible for burning tea stoves and feeding birds, although better than the lowest-class maids,
they weren't much better.
Now, however, the crows had jumped onto the branches and turned into phoenixes—well, not as exaggerated as phoenixes, becoming concubines would be turning into phoenixes, but that was also turning into divine birds.
So they were the happiest.
Jin Chuan, Yuchuan, and Sheyue were previously second-class.
At this moment, they were also upgraded, so they were also very happy.
Everyone was beaming with joy.
Truly a new emperor, a new atmosphere!
This made Jia Hui smile slightly:
"Then Ruhua is a second-class maid, continuing to follow Concubine Xichun, and Caiping and Cai'er remain third-class maids, also following Xichun."
"Yindie'er is second-class, and Chaodou'er is third-class, following Concubine You."
"Yes! Marquis!"
Xiren, Qingwen, and the others responded respectfully.
Subsequently, Jia Hui also made arrangements for Sister-in-law Liu:
"From now on, the kitchen is divided into the inner kitchen and the outer kitchen."
"The inner kitchen is for the food of the masters."
"The outer kitchen is for the servants."
"Sanniang is a concubine, but she still oversees all the rights of the entire inner and outer kitchens!"
"Sister-in-law 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 Sister-in-law Liu naturally didn't have such great power.
At this moment, it was a promotion a few years in advance.
Sister-in-law Liu immediately thanked Jia Hui joyfully: "Thank you, Marquis, thank you, Marquis, I will definitely work hard."
Jia Hui looked at this beautiful woman with good looks.
Thinking that she still had a daughter.
Liu Wu'er should be sixteen years old now, she was the daughter of a kitchen servant.
In the book, she was described as having a figure similar to Ping, Xi, Yuan, and Zi, saying that her appearance was as beautiful as Ping'er, Yuanyang, Xiren, Zijuan, and others. Because she was the fifth, she was called Wu'er.
This was at the beauty level.
Jia Hui wouldn't let her go: "If you have a daughter, you can also send her to the prefecture to work."
He thought,
if Liu Wu'er was really good,
he could consider letting her fill the last vacancy of his ten great maids.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
Sister-in-law Liu was even happier.
Liu Wu'er was not working in the Jia family now,
but she was very yearning 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 a dream for many people, but they couldn't get it.
Just look at Ping'er wearing gold and jade.
Her monthly money was better than the vast majority of people outside.
Now how many people outside were starving to death, fleeing from disasters?
At least as a servant in a powerful family,
one could be free from hunger and cold.
If one mixed well and climbed higher, one could also support one's family!
Not to mention being a servant of a top power 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 equal to a fifth-rank official!
Just after being happy, Sister-in-law Liu said carefully with some worry: "It's just, Marquis, my little daughter Liu Wu'er has always been weak since she was a child."
She was afraid of not doing things well.. 0
And then causing 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 Daiyu, "always having a weak illness," and was a weak-looking girl.
It was precisely because of her "always having a weak illness" that the "Rose Dew leads to Poria Frost," which signaled the struggle between the maids in the Grand View Garden, was introduced, pushing the story further.
It was also because of "always having a weak illness" that it was hinted that Wu'er would be shocked by this incident and would become bedridden, and would die not long after.
Thinking of this,
Jia Hui said warmly: "Then let her enter the prefecture and raise her well. If there are any medicinal materials or tonics needed to treat the illness, just let the chief manager Jia Yun buy them, until the illness is raised."
Poria Frost, like Rose Dew, was something the masters used to nourish their bodies, and it was not something a servant family could afford.
Even if Jia Huan, who was a young master, and Zhao Yiniang, who was half a master, wanted to eat it, they could only secretly beg Caiyun to steal it.
However, the weak Liu Wu'er ate these precious things for various reasons.
These details also hinted that she was not an ordinary maid, and although her background was not good, her food, clothing, and usage were similar to the young ladies of the Jia Prefecture.
However, this was also something that Sister-in-law Liu, this sister-in-law, had worked hard to earn.
Jia Hui suddenly thought,
Sister-in-law Liu had made a lot of money in the back kitchen.
Although that little money was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Lai Da and others.
But now with Sanniang, Jia Hui was not afraid that she would make trouble again.
Plus, he was now covering the expenses of Liu Wu'er's body nourishment.
If she was still secretly doing this,
Hmph hmph!
"Then don't blame me, Master, for whipping you hard!"
"Thank you, Marquis, thank you, Marquis! 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, Sister-in-law Liu was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground to thank Jia Hui a thousand times. ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
