Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 38 Part 1: Bai Xue
After the birthday ceremony, Jiang Li’s Fang Fei Garden resumed it’s peaceful days.
Even though facts proved that Jiang Li was accused wrongly in the matter of the gems in the head ornament, not one person came to appease her. Tong’er secretly heard from outside, Old Madam Jiang called Ji Shuran to the Phoenix Hall in the evening and reprimanded her harshly for a time. Hearing that Jiang You Yao’s birthday ceremony was managed by Ji Shuran, in the end having this kind of matter came out, it was making the guests see a joke and leting the Jiang family lose its face.
“This time, Ji shi’s housekeeping ability is highly doubted by the people.” Tong’er was extremely pleased as she mentioned this.
Jiang Li smiled. Old Madam Jiang reprimanded Ji Shuran probably not because Ji Shuran messed up the birthday ceremony. In any case, Old Madam Jiang was also a person who had been immersed in the backyard struggle. How could she not understand the twists and turns behind the door? Moreover, this time, Ji Shuran’s method was really not brilliant. Although Old Madam Jiang wasn’t particularly fond of Jiang second miss, in the end, using this matter to lash out at Ji Shuran, she could reluctantly be regarded as being impartial.
However, even if Jiang Li’s execution this time saved herself, it had exposed the unpeaceful backyard of Jiang residence to outsiders. To some extent, it made the people in the residence angry, and they needed to take it out on somebody. Such as the present, treating Jiang Li coldly was the Jiang family’s punishment for her.
However, Jiang Li didn’t care.
Tong’er smiled: “The three new servant girls are outside. Does Miss want them to come in now?”
Xiang Qiao and Yun Shuang were already taken away. Jiang Li only had one servant girl, Tong’er. Three girls were picked and brought in by an older female servant. This way, in addition to Tong’er, there were two first-class servant girls, two-second class servant girls and another one to sweep and clean the outer courtyard, which was appropriate.
“Let them enter.” said Jiang Li.
Three servant girls came into the room. The two-second class servant girls were called Ming Yue and Qing Feng and they were of similar age with Tong’er. They seemed to be lively and clever, they paid respect to Jiang Li neatly, in a clear voice. They had never served in the Jiang residence before.
There was still a first class servant girl called Bai Xue, her age was a bit bigger than Tong’er, and was not as lively as the other two servant girls. Even though she was called Bai Xue1, her skin was dark and she had a sturdy figure. Wearing Jiang residence’s specially sewn apricot red attire, it was somewhat incompatible and laughable.
Tong’er sized Bai Xue up and down, feeling strange in her heart. Generally speaking, the personal servant girls of a young miss reflected the miss’s face. Apart from their character and capability, their appearance must be smart, delicate and pretty. This Bai Xue, no matter what her skills were, with just her appearance, if put in other people’s residence she would have no chance of being a first-class servant girl in her lifetime.
When the older female servant chose, she brought up Bai Xue, saying that she was strong and could sweep the outer courtyard. Anyway Jiang Li didn’t have much of a plan. But in the end, how did she turn into a first-class servant?
The older female servant also confirmed with Jiang Li over and over again. She probably thought Jiang Li didn’t understand this principle. However, Jiang Li was very stubborn. Tong’er saw Bai Xue and couldn’t figure out what was special about her.
Jiang Li spoke a few simple words with the three servant girls. Then Qing Feng and Ming Yue immediately went out to work while Bai Xue was left inside the room. Jiang Li looked at her and smiled: “I heard that your hometown is in Zao Hua Village?”
Bai Xue, who was originally standing very cautiously, heard Jiang Li mentioned her hometown and relaxed a little. She replied: “Yes.”
“I used to know a servant girl who was also from Zao Hua Village.” Jiang Li smiled.
