Chapter 242

The beauties were still lazily sleeping soundly.

Xiren and the others, being early risers, had all gotten up before dawn, around four or five o'clock.

They were all busy with tasks like boiling water and cleaning.

Of course, these were the jobs of the lower-ranking maids.

Xiren and the other head maids.

Only needed to serve Jia Hui with dressing and washing.

It took less than ten minutes to finish everything.

Then they walked all the way to the dining room.

Sun Sanniang had also gotten up especially early.

And had prepared breakfast.

"Husband, come and eat quickly."

Seeing him appear, Sun Sanniang said with a smile.

Sister Liu was also there, and by her side were two little beauties, one around ten and the other fifteen or sixteen, about the same age as Lin Hongyu.

One of them was frail and delicate, her small face unnaturally pale.

Looking just like Lin Daiyu.

At a glance, it was Sister Liu's daughter, Liu Wu'er.

The other person.

Jia Hui remembered, was the little girl he had found and picked up in the snow.

On the way to the morning court.

"Liu Wu'er pays respects to the Marquis; good morning, Marquis, may you have good fortune."

Seeing Jia Hui, Liu Wu'er was the first to say in a small voice.

Her voice was not loud.

But it was pleasant, like an oriole.

At this moment, Liu Wu'er was clearly very excited.

Previously, she had always longed for the Rongguo Prefecture, waiting for a vacancy in the staff so that, with Sister Liu's help, she could fill it.

Of course, because her mother was the kitchen manager, she could enter the corner gate and move around inside and outside the five large rooms at the back of the Jia household that served as the kitchen, but that was the only area.

Further in, she dared not go casually, but she often could not help but take steps inward, moving her body inward, her heart pounding, wanting to steal a glimpse of the beautiful scenery in the garden, but the garden designed by Shan Ziye separated the masters' activity area from the kitchen and miscellaneous servants' labor area very clearly, using many large mountain rocks, large trees, and high walls to form a barrier, shielding the two from each other!

Thus, it was a world apart, two realms of humanity; when Liu Wu'er was "improper," she could not cross the line and touch the commandments.

Poor Liu Wu'er, when her courage was strong, she had tried to walk further in, but what she saw, when others asked, she could only sigh: "I felt more energetic today, so I came in to stroll around. This area behind here is nothing special, just seeing some big rocks, big trees, and the back walls of houses; I didn't see any proper good scenery."

A life longing for a space it cannot yet reach is the most common state of mind in the human world.

Jia Hui smiled: "How is it, have you visited the mansion?"

"No, no, Mother said I cannot run around and stroll, lest I offend the Marquis and the ladies and concubines."

Liu Wu'er said.

Seeing the longing in her eyes.

Jia Hui said warmly:

"From now on, you are one of my ten great maids; in the future, you can freely visit anywhere in the mansion."

Liu Wu'er, including Sister Liu, were both pleasantly surprised!

They had been thinking.

It would be good if Liu Wu'er, being a newcomer, could be assigned as a third-class maid, rather than the lowest-class maid.

They should never have hoped for a first-class head maid.

They never expected such a lucky thing to happen!

The mother and daughter immediately thanked Jia Hui profusely.

At this moment, Xiren and the other nine great beauties were all standing behind Jia Hui, and he smiled: "Follow these sisters and learn well."

"Yes!"

Liu Wu'er agreed respectfully.

Subsequently, she excitedly went over to Xiren and the others.

Xiren and the others saw that Liu Wu'er was pretty.

And her personality seemed quite good.

So they all accepted her with smiles.

Xiren then arranged for her to follow Ping'er first.

Ping'er agreed.

And immediately explained the rules to her in a low voice.

And Jia Hui had already started eating, then asked the remaining girl casually.

The girl, whom he had treated as a dead horse to be saved as a live one, not knowing if she could be saved, had actually survived.

So he began to inquire.

If she was good, he would keep her.

If not, he would just give her some silver and send her away.

"Identity, name, why were you frozen in the snow?"

"Replying to the Marquis, this servant is Xiao Die, originally a maid for Concubine Wei of the Sheng family, but because I was framed, I was driven out of the mansion."

Xiao Die answered respectfully and concisely, telling the whole story.

The Sheng family again?

Jia Hui was surprised.

"And that silver bracelet?"

"It was the life-saving money Concubine Wei left for me before I was driven out of the mansion."

Xiao Die said softly, her eyes filled with some sadness.

Jia Hui recalled through the conversation.

This Xiao Die's appearance and figure were both very good.

Relying on a simple and kind nature, a principle of not offending others unless offended, but never allowing herself to be bullied, and a tenacious character, she was hailed as the most beautiful maid in "Know Whether the Green Should Be."

After being driven out of the mansion by Lin Qinshuang, her fate in his memory was very miserable.

Later, after the protagonist Minglan grew up, she found her back.

First was her attire, even simpler than her aunt in the countryside, her coarse cloth clothes were very simple, and the hairpin on her head was just an ordinary one; standing aside, she looked like a maid waiting to be ordered around; of course, she was originally a maid, but she was a top-tier maid; if she had continued to stay in the Sheng family, even if she didn't wear gold and silver like Ping'er, she wouldn't have been too bad off.

Secondly, when Sheng Minglan asked her how she had spent these years, although Xiao Die herself kept comforting Minglan that she had lived very well, who noticed Aunt Wei silently wiping away tears on the side?

Jia Hui had a good impression of such a girl: "So, you couldn't bear to sell this silver bracelet for money? You would rather have nearly frozen to death?"

"Yes."

Xiao Die responded.

Hearing her words, not only Xiren, Yuanyang, and Ping'er were moved.

Even Sister Liu and Liu Wu'er were very touched.

And Sun Sanniang, who valued affection and righteousness, was so moved she was about to cry!

"What a good person."

"Husband, can she follow me from now on?"

"Good!"

Facing Sun Sanniang's request, Jia Hui agreed readily.

This was the first time Sun Sanniang had asked him for something, so of course he had to satisfy her.

It was just a maid, after all.

He already had ten great beauties by his side.

It was unnecessary.

And this Xiao Die following Sun Sanniang was also a stroke of luck.

However, he thought that it probably wouldn't be long before Xiao Die would see Minglan and the others again.
