Bai Guo stopped, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Maybe there has been something better."
Yu Die doesn't understand.
She has been staying by the young lady's side, how could she not know that the young lady has something better than the position of the county head.
"Those who sit in this position must bear the responsibility, but I haven't done anything yet." Bai Guo continued to walk forward, his eyes always falling on the half crescent moon in the night sky.
Yu Die understood.
Generally, county princesses are the daughters of princes, and they can only become princesses if they have made meritorious deeds.
But her young lady took the position of county head directly without any achievements, which made it easy for outsiders to make excuses.
"May 21st is my grandmother's birthday, and June 17th is the Queen Mother's birthday." Ginkgo counted the days.
If the emperor wants to take the initiative to attack Yifeng, he needs money, food, clothes, medicine, and reasons to convince the courtiers and other countries.
Therefore, no matter how quickly this arrangement is arranged, it will have to wait until next year.
And she can do her own thing after these two birthdays - do business!
Her grandmother was the eldest daughter of the right minister of household affairs, and the sister of the current left minister of household affairs. It can be said that the whole family dealt with account books.
Therefore, Gingguo was more or less influenced by the old lady and loved money very much, but he was not stingy either.
When she was in Fengzhou, she also had several shops of her own, and she would often help her grandmother check her shop's account books, and the daily expenses of her second uncle's family were also taken care of by her grandmother.
At first, she didn't understand why her grandmother spent so much money on her second aunt every year. Later, she understood after living there for a long time. It was also at that time that she learned the benefits of money.
In the past ten years, her food and clothing expenses have been extremely good, and her second aunt treats her like her own daughter.
Even if the two cousins had conflicts with each other, they would always be kind to her.
Therefore, Ginkgo attaches great importance to interests.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Bie Xia, kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, his back straight.
Yu Die glanced at Bai Guo secretly, but saw that Bai Guo had no expression, as if he didn't see it.
Yu Die stopped being a god and just held Ginkgo and walked towards the boudoir.
Ging Guo never walked fast. As soon as there was a sound of saying farewell to Xia, he turned around to look at Ging Guo, but he waited for half a day before Ging Guo came closer.
Bie Xia didn't say anything until Ging Guo was about to walk over before calling softly: "Kangle County Master."
Bie Xia is a smart person. If there is no legitimate daughter in the second aunt's family, she will call her Miss directly. When she comes back, she will call her 'Third Miss' according to what these people call her. Today, after the imperial edict came out, she will call her County Lord.
"Yes." Ging Guo responded, and Yu Die obediently helped Ging Guo to sit on a stone chair aside. Other maids in the yard immediately brought tea.
It was just a word, and Bie Xia's eyes lit up.
She has followed Ging Guo for three years, so she naturally knows that Ging Guo is very busy.
Get up in the morning and say hello to the old lady and the second lady. Then you have to follow the old lady to learn accounting, housekeeping, rent collection, tea art, flower arranging, and incense blending...
Every ten days, I would accompany the old lady to the designated temple to burn incense twice, and I would stay in the temple for one night each time.
Whenever I have free time, I learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from my instructor. I also like to spare some time to read all kinds of books I have collected.
Occasionally, I would wear a veil and go out with the old lady, the second lady, the eldest son Bai Minghong, the second son Bai Mingshao, and the fourth son Bai Mingzheng to go out for spring outings, see the scenery, and have fun...
So usually as long as the mistakes they make are not very serious, Ging Guo won't care.
For example, she always asked Bai Guo to get up early for three years, but Bai Guo never said harsh words to her. She would only practice calligraphy, read, and play the piano after getting up...
She remembered it so clearly because it was the first time she had seen a woman live such an outstanding life, and she was truly envious.
But there are some things that cannot be said out loud. If a maid even thinks about these things, she will be sold out if she says it.
"Kangle County Lord." Bie Xia kowtowed heavily, straightened his upper body and looked into Shang Gingguo's eyes, and said solemnly: "I did have delusional thoughts before, and that's why I caused these things and upset the County Lord.
But the county master was so kind that he only let the slave think about his mistakes and did not punish the slave. He also did not give up on the slave and gave the slave a chance to change his ways. The slave was here to thank the county master for his great kindness. "
After saying goodbye, Xia kowtowed again, then straightened up and said, "I have been with the county master for three years. Although I had my own little thoughts during these three years, I have always tried my best and never done anything to disgrace the county master. things.
Today, I swear on my parents that I will never do this dirty thing again, and I will do my best to serve the county master. I beg the county master to let this slave come back to you and continue to serve you. "
Ging Guo picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After Biexia kowtowed and straightened up again, she asked, "Are you done?"
Don't Xia was stunned.
In her mind, wasn't it because Baiguo didn't punish her because he still wanted her to serve him? !
She knew that Baiguo's personal maids were only her and Yu Die, but Yu Die was not clear-headed, so she still needed to deal with everything.
Since she is still needed, wouldn't it be okay if she showed her attitude today? !
"Bie Xia, I am the head of the county now, and I have many maids to work for me. You are not the only one who is smart. I can have whatever maid I want." Ging Guo took a sip of tea again.
"I've said it from the beginning, you have to think carefully about what you can do to make me let you go. But what you say now is not enough for me to let you go and continue to use you."
Bai Guo scratched the saucer with his knuckles and put down the tea cup, "You have to say that you have tried your best and that you have not done anything sorry for me. Yu Die is better than you. So what you are saying now is to tell me that you have no regrets." Did you use it?"
Bie Xia's pupils shrank suddenly and said hurriedly: "No...no, the county master, slave...slave..."
Bie Xia broke into a cold sweat.
What does she have?
She is not loyal enough, even not as loyal as Yu Die.
She is clever, but how many maids are not clever? !
There are only a few people who are stupid like Yu Die!
She understands Ging Guo's habits, but she will know all these after just staying with Ging Guo for a few months.
What does Gingo like about her? Is there anything Ginkgo needs?
Yes, there must be!
Otherwise she wouldn't be sitting here listening to her say these words!
what is that?
What made Bai Guo decide to give her another chance and be willing to listen to her words?
She has been thinking wrongly these years, and she just wants to find a man who can provide her with a good life, so the effort she puts into Ging Guo is less than one-third of the thought she originally put into the young master.
But even so, she has always been a first-class maid, and even Ging Guo would take her with him whenever he went out.
This shows that Bai Guo doesn't care about her loyalty at all.
After yesterday's incident, Bai Guo did not immediately go to her to settle the score. Instead, he confirmed whether the door of the Bai family was closed and whether Madam knew about it...
In other words, Bai Guo didn't care about her at all, he just cared about the trouble she caused.
But he doesn't care about her so much, yet he is willing to give her time to reflect, and now he is still listening to her talk and wasting her time studying...
illustrate……
illustrate--
The answer lies in this troublesome matter.
But... is it possible?
What good side can Ging Guo see in such dirty things?
The cold sweat on Bie Xia's body had soaked through his clothes, and his face was extremely pale in the moonlight.
"Slave..." The cold sweat on Bie Xia's forehead became more and more, and his arms began to tremble, "I can't think of..." Come out.
No……
wrong!
What she did yesterday and made such a fuss was enough for Ging Guo to sell her out.
But now she still has a chance to beg for mercy.
Explain that this answer is important!
Bie Xia's hanging arms trembled even more, and even her voice began to tremble, "Slave... I followed the eldest son before meeting the county lord. There were mostly servants around the eldest master, so I have been serving you wholeheartedly. If you want, Let the eldest master value the slave, and the slave...the slave can be made a concubine."
——But there are some things that cannot be said out loud. If a maid even thinks about this, she will be sold out if she says it.
A maid who wants to be the master...
The tremor in Bie Xia's voice became heavier, and the pronunciation of the words began to blur due to choking, "This slave was a girl in a remote village before she was sold to Yapo. From the moment she can remember, people have starved to death every year and frozen to death every year." , the villagers around who can survive are selling their sons and daughters... and their wives."
"This slave was sold because my brother at home had no food to eat. When I left, my mother hugged my slave and cried, saying I was sorry for my slave."
"The Yapo who follows this slave will only give me one mouthful of food. It's enough to keep these slaves from starving to death, but they have to walk a long way every day. Some people will be beaten if they can't walk, and some will be beaten if they can't sell. If he dies, he will be called a bitch who lost money."
"So I don't want... I don't want to marry a farmer. I don't want my children to be sold in the future. I don't want to be sold as someone else's wife in the future."
There were tears streaming down Bie Xia's cheeks and she was trembling all over. She didn't know whether it was because she would be betrayed after saying these words, or because she thought of those scenes from her childhood.
"Slave... I want to live a better life. I want to find a way out for myself. I don't want to repeat the life of my slave. When I first heard that I wanted to serve the county master, I wanted to leave the eldest son. I’ve been sad for a while.”
"Later, when the slave girl watched the county master practicing calligraphy, playing the piano, painting, playing chess, and doing things that the slave girl could not see the meaning of, she felt that the county master would definitely marry a good family in the future, and then the slave girl would be able to As an aunt, you don’t have to be afraid.”
"But... Later, I heard that the county master was going to enter the palace, and he was not allowed to bring anyone into the palace. Then the slave would not have the support of the county master, and there would be no one to rely on... The slave would still be casually married out. Maybe I have to continue to live the life of a slave girl, slave girl... slave girl is afraid."
Bai Guo was not favored in the Bai Mansion, so her maids could be married off by the mistress of the house at will, or even sold out.
Afraid that Bie Xia would find out that her chances of survival were low, and also afraid that the mistress of the house would react and start selling people off or arranging marriages, she hurriedly started to find a way out for herself.
Yu Die stood behind Bai Guo, wiping tears as she listened.
Her family sold her because she had a younger brother and wanted to provide him with nutrition. But she was lucky. As soon as this place was sold to Yapo, Yapo heard that Judge Bai Tong in Guwu County wanted to buy a group of servants to train. , serving the old lady and niece who came from Kyoto in a few months.
A group of them were fed well by Ya Po before they went. As expected, many of them were left behind, and they were taught that she was just stupid, so she was not among the first batch of people who were assigned to go.
But within a year, I heard that a little maid took the opportunity to seduce the second wife's eldest son Bai Minghong when he went to go out to play with Bai Guo, so she, the most stupid one among them, was selected and arranged to go there, and she has been there until today.
