It has been more than half a year since Li Xiuer came to Washington to work as a maid. From being uneasy at the beginning to being at ease now, her path to entering the mansion has taken a big turn.
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
When she had nothing to do, Li Xiuer liked to go to Aunt Shuangcheng. When she first entered the mansion, she served in Aunt Shuangcheng's house for a few days. Although she didn't do any specific work, Aunt Shuangcheng did give her some advice. She has many rules in the house.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Jiu Hui stood next to the book desk, wearing a bright red dress, looking pretty like a beautiful picture scroll.
"I don't know what kind of tea it is, just pick what you are best at and make it."
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor. Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
At first, she thought she was going to be a maid, but the day before entering the mansion, her mother took her and talked secretly for most of the night, with some other meanings revealed, overtly or covertly. Li Xiuer was not stupid. She understood. It turned out that there were several types of maids, one of which was called the Tongfang maid.
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
Hongxiu quietly exhaled a long breath, and was about to exit the tea room, but suddenly remembered what the master just said, "Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night." Although it was morning, there was a smoker in the study, and it was placed there. In front of her eyes. After all, she couldn't suppress the urge in her heart, so she lightly lit a basket of incense before exiting the study.
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
The waiter was very surprised and said: "Isn't Sister Jiuhui always waiting in the study?"
Strange, Jiuhui should have been cleaning in the study at this time
Be the master's maid
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
Sure enough, not long after, the master's voice came from the study. After calling out, he seemed to realize that Jiuhui was not there, and changed his words again, saying: "Who is outside the door, come in."
She learned from the maid next to Shuangcheng how to tie curtains, how to make tea, and how to grind ink. She even learned to read secretly, but it was very difficult to read. No matter how hard she learned, she would never be able to learn without anyone teaching her.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She would stay at the door and listen to the master's instructions at any time. At worst, she would just get scolded by Jiu Hui again, so she didn't care.
The young girl couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether she wanted to or not. She didn't have much choice. She could only blush with embarrassment and be shyly led into Washington by her mother. She changed her face, changed her clothes, and a few days later, she became a rough girl waiting outside the study.
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
She didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed, but she was really relieved. In fact, she didn't really want to be the maid of the intercourse.
Li Xiuer only saw such a situation once before Jiuhui discovered it and scolded her severely. From then on, she never dared to secretly change places again, but there was a kind of envy growing in her heart. She wants to be a person in the painting, not a person looking at the painting.
Every time at this time, Jiuhui would open the curtain in time. When the master went in, she would lower the curtain, and then the scene inside would not be visible. She was standing at a bad angle and could not see the window. Once she had Secretly changing positions, through the window, she saw the white mist floating in the freshly brewed tea. The master was sitting on the desk by the window, holding either an official document or a book in his hand.

It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
"May I have your name?"
"This girl is a child of the family. Although she grew up in Zhuangzi, there is no doubt that she will have different intentions in terms of loyalty. However, the study is an important place after all. You must always remind her and be sure not to neglect it. She is not here Jiuhui has served her in the study before, and she has never taught her anything. He just put her into the study rashly, and she is afraid that she will be in a hurry. When you have free time, go to the study to take care of her. When Hongxiu gets familiar with the study, you can also Take it easy.”
Later, when Aunt Shuangcheng found out, she just smiled and was as kind as the master. When she had some free time, she taught her to write her own name. Now she can recognize the names of all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, but she is not good at writing them yet. , because there is little opportunity to practice.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
As a rough maid, her daily job was to clean the bluestone path in front of the study, sprinkle it with water to prevent it from raising dust. After doing this, she had to scrub the corridor again, and then stand From a distance, she watched the master slowly walk along the bluestone path she had cleaned, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of the study.

Hua Xu didn't really have any impression of Li Xiu'er, but he roughly knew that it was this girl who had caused quarrels between him and his wife for a while. Only then did he take a leisurely look at the girl, and saw that although the girl was pretending to be calm, she was not. Her flushed cheeks and clenched fists showed that she was obviously extremely nervous, and she couldn't help but smile.
"No..." Li Xiuer's mind was buzzing, and he almost didn't know what he answered.
"May I have your name?"
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She would stay at the door and listen to the master's instructions at any time. At worst, she would just get scolded by Jiu Hui again, so she didn't care.
Every time at this time, Jiuhui would open the curtain in time. When the master went in, she would lower the curtain, and then the scene inside would not be visible.

The master was sitting on the desk by the window, holding either an official document or a book in his hand.
Aunt Shuangcheng also smiled and said: "Xiu'er... Hong Xiu, this girl, often comes to my room to play. At that time, I felt that she was serious. Even when she came to play, she didn't just play and learn to make tea. , learning grinding, learning to make curtains, and even secretly learning to read. I saw that she was willing to make progress and was attentive, so I taught her in my spare time. I just thought that Jiuhui was approaching her age, and she would need it in less than a year or two. Since Hong Xiu is so serious about marrying someone or letting her go out of the house, she must be the one to take over at that time. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly."
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
Early in the morning, Li Xiuer came outside the study again, cleaned the bluestone path, sprinkled water on it, and scrubbed the corridor. After finishing the work, Jiuhui never appeared.
Aunt Shuangcheng was very surprised that Madam suddenly wanted to release Jiuhui from the house. There was no news at all before, so why did she suddenly want to expel Jiuhui? But the madam didn't say the reason, and she couldn't ask rashly. When the madam asked her who could take care of Jiuhui's vacancy, she brought up Li Xiu'er, oh no, she was going to change her name to Hong Xiu now. She always knew that Hongxiu was a caring person, but she didn't expect that Hongxiu had already been appreciated by the master before Madam had made any move. This girl's ability to seize opportunities should not be underestimated.
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
Jiu Hui stood next to the book desk, wearing a bright red dress, looking pretty like a beautiful picture scroll.
"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
A man in green clothes appeared at the end of the bluestone path. Li Xiuer's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body almost trembled with nervousness. Jiuhui didn't come, so she lifted the curtain with all her strength, watched the master walk past her, and then paused.
Hongxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know why, but Jiuhui hasn't come today. The master wanted to have tea, so he took my job. Without further ado, I have to go to the waiter quickly. Madam, I'm busy with my sister. Now that I have some free time, I have a bag of sweet cakes in my room, which I brought to my sister to eat."
Early in the morning, Li Xiuer came outside the study again, cleaned the bluestone path, sprinkled water on it, and scrubbed the corridor. After finishing the work, Jiuhui never appeared.
Li Xiuer only saw such a situation once before Jiuhui discovered it and scolded her severely. From then on, she never dared to secretly change places again, but there was a kind of envy growing in her heart. She wants to be a person in the painting, not a person looking at the painting.

"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
The waiter responded and did not dare to delay. He hurried back to Xikuoyuan and reported back everything Hongxiu said to her.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
"Jiuhui..."
Later, when Aunt Shuangcheng found out, she just smiled and was as kind as the master. When she had some free time, she taught her to write her own name. Now she can recognize the names of all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, but she is not good at writing them yet. , because there is little opportunity to practice.

She changed her face, changed her clothes, and a few days later, she became a rough girl waiting outside the study.
Hua Xu was engrossed in reading when he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance on the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw the green smoke curling up in the smoke cage. He couldn't help but smile again. This girl was quite clever.
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.

Change your name again
Hongxiu recognized this girl as a rough girl who specialized in running errands in Xikua Courtyard, and was called a waiter. She quickly asked: "Good sister, why did Madam call me suddenly?"
"I don't know what kind of tea it is, just pick what you are best at and make it."
"Don't call me Sister Xiu'er. The master just gave me a name, called Hongxiu." Hongxiu was suspicious in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she added: "The master asked me to make tea and bother my sister to report back to the madam. I will come immediately after I have served the master. "
Jiuhui never came, and Li Xiuer hesitated at the door of the study. She didn't know whether to return to her original position and wait, or to guard at the door. If the master had any instructions, she would not listen to them in her original position. I heard the voice of the master calling people.
Li Xiu'er was overjoyed. He didn't care that a rough girl was not qualified to enter the study. He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time to reach the desk and said breathlessly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Early in the morning, Li Xiuer came outside the study again, cleaned the bluestone path, sprinkled water on it, and scrubbed the corridor. After finishing the work, Jiuhui never appeared.
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"

Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
A man in green clothes appeared at the end of the bluestone path. Li Xiuer's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body almost trembled with nervousness. Jiuhui didn't come, so she lifted the curtain with all her strength, watched the master walk past her, and then paused.

It has been more than half a year since Li Xiuer came to Washington to work as a maid. From being uneasy at the beginning to being at ease now, her path to entering the mansion has taken a big turn.
As a rough maid, her daily job was to clean the bluestone path in front of the study, sprinkle it with water to prevent it from raising dust. After doing this, she had to scrub the corridor again, and then stand From a distance, she watched the master slowly walk along the bluestone path she had cleaned, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of the study.
Li Xiuer only saw such a situation once before Jiuhui discovered it and scolded her severely. From then on, she never dared to secretly change places again, but there was a kind of envy growing in her heart. She wants to be a person in the painting, not a person looking at the painting.
Aunt Shuangcheng also smiled and said: "Xiu'er... Hong Xiu, this girl, often comes to my room to play. At that time, I felt that she was serious. Even when she came to play, she didn't just play and learn to make tea. , learning grinding, learning to make curtains, and even secretly learning to read.

Since Hong Xiu is so serious about marrying someone or letting her go out of the house, she must be the one to take over at that time. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly."
Then the master entered the study without saying anything else. She gently lowered the curtain, not knowing whether it was disappointment or something else. This time, she really picked the curtain very well and did not touch the master at all.
She learned from the maid next to Shuangcheng how to tie curtains, how to make tea, and how to grind ink. She even learned to read secretly, but it was very difficult to read. No matter how hard she learned, she would never be able to learn without anyone teaching her.
"Jiuhui..."
"Xiu'er, it's a little more ordinary." Hua Xu looked out the window, and saw a beautiful red canna flower, "Since your name has the character Xiu, I will give you a scarlet character and change it to Hongxiu, okay? Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night. , but also very elegant."
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
The young girl couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether she wanted to or not. She didn't have much choice. She could only blush with embarrassment and be shyly led into Washington by her mother. She changed her face, changed her clothes, and a few days later, she became a rough girl waiting outside the study.

Jiuhui never came, and Li Xiuer hesitated at the door of the study. She didn't know whether to return to her original position and wait, or to guard at the door. If the master had any instructions, she would not listen to them in her original position. I heard the voice of the master calling people.
The last time she changed her name, she actually didn't like it very much. Why should she avoid changing her name if a girl next to her had the word "Xiu" in her name? If the young lady had the word "Xiu" in her name, she would just give in. A girl That's all, it's not necessarily nobler than her, why didn't that girl change her name? But this time, the master personally gave her the name, but she only felt happy. "Hongxiu, this name really sounds much better. They say that the master has learned a lot and is rich. It is indeed true. Every name is so nice."
Hongxiu quietly exhaled a long breath, and was about to exit the tea room, but suddenly remembered what the master just said, "Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night." Although it was morning, there was a smoker in the study, and it was placed there. In front of her eyes. After all, she couldn't suppress the urge in her heart, so she lightly lit a basket of incense before exiting the study.
Aunt Shuangcheng also smiled and said: "Xiu'er... Hong Xiu, this girl, often comes to my room to play. At that time, I felt that she was serious. Even when she came to play, she didn't just play and learn to make tea. , learning grinding, learning to make curtains, and even secretly learning to read. I saw that she was willing to make progress and was attentive, so I taught her in my spare time. I just thought that Jiuhui was approaching her age, and she would need it in less than a year or two. Since Hong Xiu is so serious about marrying someone or letting her go out of the house, she must be the one to take over at that time. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly."
Every time at this time, Jiuhui would open the curtain in time. When the master went in, she would lower the curtain, and then the scene inside would not be visible. She was standing at a bad angle and could not see the window. Once she had Secretly changing positions, through the window, she saw the white mist floating in the freshly brewed tea. The master was sitting on the desk by the window, holding either an official document or a book in his hand.
"This girl is a child of the family. Although she grew up in Zhuangzi, there is no doubt that she will have different intentions in terms of loyalty. However, the study is an important place after all. You must always remind her and be sure not to neglect it. She is not here Jiuhui has served her in the study before, and she has never taught her anything. He just put her into the study rashly, and she is afraid that she will be in a hurry. When you have free time, go to the study to take care of her. When Hongxiu gets familiar with the study, you can also Take it easy.”
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She would stay at the door and listen to the master's instructions at any time. At worst, she would just get scolded by Jiu Hui again, so she didn't care.
Be the master's maid
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She would stay at the door and listen to the master's instructions at any time. At worst, she would just get scolded by Jiu Hui again, so she didn't care.
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor. Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
Jiu Hui stood next to the book desk, wearing a bright red dress, looking pretty like a beautiful picture scroll.
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.
"Jiuhui..."
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
The young girl couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether she wanted to or not. She didn't have much choice. She could only blush with embarrassment and be shyly led into Washington by her mother. She changed her face, changed her clothes, and a few days later, she became a rough girl waiting outside the study.
"Jiuhui..."
Hua Xu didn't really have any impression of Li Xiu'er, but he roughly knew that it was this girl who had caused quarrels between him and his wife for a while. Only then did he take a leisurely look at the girl, and saw that although the girl was pretending to be calm, she was not. Her flushed cheeks and clenched fists showed that she was obviously extremely nervous, and she couldn't help but smile.
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.
Hongxiu quietly exhaled a long breath, and was about to exit the tea room, but suddenly remembered what the master just said, "Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night." Although it was morning, there was a smoker in the study, and it was placed there. In front of her eyes. After all, she couldn't suppress the urge in her heart, so she lightly lit a basket of incense before exiting the study.
At first, she thought she was going to be a maid, but the day before entering the mansion, her mother took her and talked secretly for most of the night, with some other meanings revealed, overtly or covertly. Li Xiuer was not stupid. She understood. It turned out that there were several types of maids, one of which was called the Tongfang maid.
Change your name again
Hongxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know why, but Jiuhui hasn't come today. The master wanted to have tea, so he took my job. Without further ado, I have to go to the waiter quickly. Madam, I'm busy with my sister. Now that I have some free time, I have a bag of sweet cakes in my room, which I brought to my sister to eat."
The waiter was very surprised and said: "Isn't Sister Jiuhui always waiting in the study?"
Mrs. Fang looked at it and nodded secretly. This girl was indeed a trouble-free girl and worthy of a big responsibility. Keeping her in the first place proved that she had a pretty good vision.
Sure enough, not long after, the master's voice came from the study. After calling out, he seemed to realize that Jiuhui was not there, and changed his words again, saying: "Who is outside the door, come in."
Then the master entered the study without saying anything else. She gently lowered the curtain, not knowing whether it was disappointment or something else. This time, she really picked the curtain very well and did not touch the master at all.
The waiter responded and did not dare to delay. He hurried back to Xikuoyuan and reported back everything Hongxiu said to her.
Change your name again
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
Li Xiu'er was overjoyed. He didn't care that a rough girl was not qualified to enter the study. He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time to reach the desk and said breathlessly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
Change your name again
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
Hongxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know why, but Jiuhui hasn't come today. The master wanted to have tea, so he took my job. Without further ado, I have to go to the waiter quickly. Madam, I'm busy with my sister. Now that I have some free time, I have a bag of sweet cakes in my room, which I brought to my sister to eat."
Hua Xu didn't really have any impression of Li Xiu'er, but he roughly knew that it was this girl who had caused quarrels between him and his wife for a while. Only then did he take a leisurely look at the girl, and saw that although the girl was pretending to be calm, she was not. Her flushed cheeks and clenched fists showed that she was obviously extremely nervous, and she couldn't help but smile.
Jiuhui never came, and Li Xiuer hesitated at the door of the study. She didn't know whether to return to her original position and wait, or to guard at the door. If the master had any instructions, she would not listen to them in her original position. I heard the voice of the master calling people.
Sure enough, not long after, the master's voice came from the study. After calling out, he seemed to realize that Jiuhui was not there, and changed his words again, saying: "Who is outside the door, come in."
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
Aunt Shuangcheng was very surprised that Madam suddenly wanted to release Jiuhui from the house. There was no news at all before, so why did she suddenly want to expel Jiuhui? But the madam didn't say the reason, and she couldn't ask rashly. When the madam asked her who could take care of Jiuhui's vacancy, she brought up Li Xiu'er, oh no, she was going to change her name to Hong Xiu now. She always knew that Hongxiu was a caring person, but she didn't expect that Hongxiu had already been appreciated by the master before Madam had made any move. This girl's ability to seize opportunities should not be underestimated.
"May I have your name?"
"I don't know what kind of tea it is, just pick what you are best at and make it."
Early in the morning, Li Xiuer came outside the study again, cleaned the bluestone path, sprinkled water on it, and scrubbed the corridor. After finishing the work, Jiuhui never appeared.
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.
"Didn't Jiuhui come today?"
"Don't call me Sister Xiu'er. The master just gave me a name, called Hongxiu." Hongxiu was suspicious in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she added: "The master asked me to make tea and bother my sister to report back to the madam. I will come immediately after I have served the master. "
"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
She learned from the maid next to Shuangcheng how to tie curtains, how to make tea, and how to grind ink. She even learned to read secretly, but it was very difficult to read. No matter how hard she learned, she would never be able to learn without anyone teaching her.
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor. Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
"Xiu'er, it's a little more ordinary." Hua Xu looked out the window, and saw a beautiful red canna flower, "Since your name has the character Xiu, I will give you a scarlet character and change it to Hongxiu, okay? Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night. , but also very elegant."
She didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed, but she was really relieved. In fact, she didn't really want to be the maid of the intercourse.
The last time she changed her name, she actually didn't like it very much. Why should she avoid changing her name if a girl next to her had the word "Xiu" in her name? If the young lady had the word "Xiu" in her name, she would just give in. A girl That's all, it's not necessarily nobler than her, why didn't that girl change her name? But this time, the master personally gave her the name, but she only felt happy. "Hongxiu, this name really sounds much better. They say that the master has learned a lot and is rich. It is indeed true. Every name is so nice."
Change your name again
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"
Mrs. Fang looked at it and nodded secretly. This girl was indeed a trouble-free girl and worthy of a big responsibility. Keeping her in the first place proved that she had a pretty good vision.
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
"No..." Li Xiuer's mind was buzzing, and he almost didn't know what he answered.
Early in the morning, Li Xiuer came outside the study again, cleaned the bluestone path, sprinkled water on it, and scrubbed the corridor. After finishing the work, Jiuhui never appeared.
Hongxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know why, but Jiuhui hasn't come today. The master wanted to have tea, so he took my job. Without further ado, I have to go to the waiter quickly. Madam, I'm busy with my sister. Now that I have some free time, I have a bag of sweet cakes in my room, which I brought to my sister to eat."
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.

But this time, the master personally gave her the name, but she only felt happy. "Hongxiu, this name really sounds much better. They say that the master has learned a lot and is rich. It is indeed true. Every name is so nice."
Hua Xu was engrossed in reading when he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance on the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw the green smoke curling up in the smoke cage. He couldn't help but smile again. This girl was quite clever.
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor. Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
A man in green clothes appeared at the end of the bluestone path. Li Xiuer's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body almost trembled with nervousness. Jiuhui didn't come, so she lifted the curtain with all her strength, watched the master walk past her, and then paused.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She would stay at the door and listen to the master's instructions at any time. At worst, she would just get scolded by Jiu Hui again, so she didn't care.

Strange, Jiuhui should have been cleaning in the study at this time
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
"Didn't Jiuhui come today?"
"Hongxiu, can you make tea?"
"This girl is a child of the family. Although she grew up in Zhuangzi, there is no doubt that she will have different intentions in terms of loyalty.

Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"
"I don't know what kind of tea it is, just pick what you are best at and make it."
When she had nothing to do, Li Xiuer liked to go to Aunt Shuangcheng. When she first entered the mansion, she served in Aunt Shuangcheng's house for a few days. Although she didn't do any specific work, Aunt Shuangcheng did give her some advice. She has many rules in the house.
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.

Every time at this time, Jiuhui would open the curtain in time. When the master went in, she would lower the curtain, and then the scene inside would not be visible. She was standing at a bad angle and could not see the window. Once she had Secretly changing positions, through the window, she saw the white mist floating in the freshly brewed tea.

Hongxiu quietly exhaled a long breath, and was about to exit the tea room, but suddenly remembered what the master just said, "Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night." Although it was morning, there was a smoker in the study, and it was placed there. In front of her eyes. After all, she couldn't suppress the urge in her heart, so she lightly lit a basket of incense before exiting the study.
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
Hongxiu recognized this girl as a rough girl who specialized in running errands in Xikua Courtyard, and was called a waiter. She quickly asked: "Good sister, why did Madam call me suddenly?"
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.

This girl's ability to seize opportunities should not be underestimated.
Later, when Aunt Shuangcheng found out, she just smiled and was as kind as the master. When she had some free time, she taught her to write her own name. Now she can recognize the names of all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, but she is not good at writing them yet. , because there is little opportunity to practice.
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
Li Xiu'er was overjoyed. He didn't care that a rough girl was not qualified to enter the study. He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time to reach the desk and said breathlessly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
The last time she changed her name, she actually didn't like it very much. Why should she avoid changing her name if a girl next to her had the word "Xiu" in her name? If the young lady had the word "Xiu" in her name, she would just give in. A girl That's all, it's not necessarily nobler than her, why didn't that girl change her name?

It is indeed true. Every name is so nice."
"Replying to the master, my original name was Xiu'er. Later, my aunt said that I had a name conflict with the girl next to the eldest lady, so I changed it to Xiu'er."
As a rough maid, her daily job was to clean the bluestone path in front of the study, sprinkle it with water to prevent it from raising dust. After doing this, she had to scrub the corridor again, and then stand From a distance, she watched the master slowly walk along the bluestone path she had cleaned, walked through the corridor, and came to the door of the study.
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor.

Hongxiu recognized this girl as a rough girl who specialized in running errands in Xikua Courtyard, and was called a waiter. She quickly asked: "Good sister, why did Madam call me suddenly?"
The master's voice was like a stone, a little hard and a little deep, but Li Xiuer felt like crying. She knew that the master was a kind man, so she wanted to be the person in the painting even more.
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.
"Don't call me Sister Xiu'er. The master just gave me a name, called Hongxiu." Hongxiu was suspicious in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she added: "The master asked me to make tea and bother my sister to report back to the madam. I will come immediately after I have served the master. "
A man in green clothes appeared at the end of the bluestone path. Li Xiuer's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body almost trembled with nervousness. Jiuhui didn't come, so she lifted the curtain with all her strength, watched the master walk past her, and then paused.
Hongxiu recognized this girl as a rough girl who specialized in running errands in Xikua Courtyard, and was called a waiter. She quickly asked: "Good sister, why did Madam call me suddenly?"
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
Li Xiu'er was overjoyed. He didn't care that a rough girl was not qualified to enter the study. He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time to reach the desk and said breathlessly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Change your name again
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
The waiter was very surprised and said: "Isn't Sister Jiuhui always waiting in the study?"
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
"Don't call me Sister Xiu'er. The master just gave me a name, called Hongxiu." Hongxiu was suspicious in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she added: "The master asked me to make tea and bother my sister to report back to the madam. I will come immediately after I have served the master. "
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
But Li Xiu'er also knew that she couldn't be the person in the painting. Even without Jiuhui, she couldn't be the person in the painting, because she couldn't read, make tea, or grind ink. She couldn't even draw curtains. Even small things can't be done well. One time, the master came early and Jiuhui hadn't come yet. She was cleaning a pillar in the corridor. Suddenly she saw the master and hurriedly went to draw the curtain. As a result, the curtain was not tied properly. She let go and opened the curtain. On the master's forehead.
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
It has been more than half a year since Li Xiuer came to Washington to work as a maid. From being uneasy at the beginning to being at ease now, her path to entering the mansion has taken a big turn.
Hongxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know why, but Jiuhui hasn't come today. The master wanted to have tea, so he took my job. Without further ado, I have to go to the waiter quickly. Madam, I'm busy with my sister. Now that I have some free time, I have a bag of sweet cakes in my room, which I brought to my sister to eat."
The waiter just shook his head and said: "How did I know, sister Xiu'er, please go quickly."
Aunt Shuangcheng also smiled and said: "Xiu'er... Hong Xiu, this girl, often comes to my room to play. At that time, I felt that she was serious. Even when she came to play, she didn't just play and learn to make tea. , learning grinding, learning to make curtains, and even secretly learning to read. I saw that she was willing to make progress and was attentive, so I taught her in my spare time. I just thought that Jiuhui was approaching her age, and she would need it in less than a year or two. Since Hong Xiu is so serious about marrying someone or letting her go out of the house, she must be the one to take over at that time. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly."
"Xiu'er, it's a little more ordinary." Hua Xu looked out the window, and saw a beautiful red canna flower, "Since your name has the character Xiu, I will give you a scarlet character and change it to Hongxiu, okay? Hongxiu adds fragrance to reading at night. , but also very elegant."
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but the master just smiled and said: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
The waiter responded and did not dare to delay. He hurried back to Xikuoyuan and reported back everything Hongxiu said to her.
Hongxiu recognized this girl as a rough girl who specialized in running errands in Xikua Courtyard, and was called a waiter. She quickly asked: "Good sister, why did Madam call me suddenly?"
"I don't know what kind of tea it is, just pick what you are best at and make it."
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
The last time she changed her name, she actually didn't like it very much. Why should she avoid changing her name if a girl next to her had the word "Xiu" in her name? If the young lady had the word "Xiu" in her name, she would just give in. A girl That's all, it's not necessarily nobler than her, why didn't that girl change her name? But this time, the master personally gave her the name, but she only felt happy. "Hongxiu, this name really sounds much better. They say that the master has learned a lot and is rich. It is indeed true. Every name is so nice."
Change your name again
Strange, Jiuhui should have been cleaning in the study at this time
Aunt Shuangcheng also smiled and said: "Xiu'er... Hong Xiu, this girl, often comes to my room to play. At that time, I felt that she was serious. Even when she came to play, she didn't just play and learn to make tea. , learning grinding, learning to make curtains, and even secretly learning to read. I saw that she was willing to make progress and was attentive, so I taught her in my spare time. I just thought that Jiuhui was approaching her age, and she would need it in less than a year or two. Since Hong Xiu is so serious about marrying someone or letting her go out of the house, she must be the one to take over at that time. I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly."
Li Xiu'er was overjoyed. He didn't care that a rough girl was not qualified to enter the study. He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time to reach the desk and said breathlessly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Jiu Hui stood next to the book desk, wearing a bright red dress, looking pretty like a beautiful picture scroll.
"Yes, yes." Li Xiu'er, no, Hong Xiu bit her lip nervously, "I just learned a little bit about how to make tea a few days ago. I wonder what kind of tea the master likes?"
"Didn't Jiuhui come today?"
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
Aunt Shuangcheng was very surprised that Madam suddenly wanted to release Jiuhui from the house. There was no news at all before, so why did she suddenly want to expel Jiuhui? But the madam didn't say the reason, and she couldn't ask rashly. When the madam asked her who could take care of Jiuhui's vacancy, she brought up Li Xiu'er, oh no, she was going to change her name to Hong Xiu now. She always knew that Hongxiu was a caring person, but she didn't expect that Hongxiu had already been appreciated by the master before Madam had made any move. This girl's ability to seize opportunities should not be underestimated.
"May I have your name?"
Mrs. Fang waved her back, then smiled at Aunt Shuangcheng who was standing aside, and said: "I was worried that the master would not be used to transferring Jiuhui away, but I didn't expect that this girl is also smart, so don't wait. I told her that she would know how to seize the opportunity to please the master. It seems that if she takes over Jiuhui's shortcomings, there will be no problems for the master."
Later, when Aunt Shuangcheng found out, she just smiled and was as kind as the master. When she had some free time, she taught her to write her own name. Now she can recognize the names of all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, but she is not good at writing them yet. , because there is little opportunity to practice.
Every time at this time, Jiuhui would open the curtain in time. When the master went in, she would lower the curtain, and then the scene inside would not be visible. She was standing at a bad angle and could not see the window. Once she had Secretly changing positions, through the window, she saw the white mist floating in the freshly brewed tea. The master was sitting on the desk by the window, holding either an official document or a book in his hand.
"This girl is a child of the family. Although she grew up in Zhuangzi, there is no doubt that she will have different intentions in terms of loyalty. However, the study is an important place after all. You must always remind her and be sure not to neglect it. She is not here Jiuhui has served her in the study before, and she has never taught her anything. He just put her into the study rashly, and she is afraid that she will be in a hurry. When you have free time, go to the study to take care of her. When Hongxiu gets familiar with the study, you can also Take it easy.”
She learned from the maid next to Shuangcheng how to tie curtains, how to make tea, and how to grind ink. She even learned to read secretly, but it was very difficult to read. No matter how hard she learned, she would never be able to learn without anyone teaching her.
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
"Don't call me Sister Xiu'er. The master just gave me a name, called Hongxiu." Hongxiu was suspicious in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she added: "The master asked me to make tea and bother my sister to report back to the madam. I will come immediately after I have served the master. "
Hong Xiu left the study and was about to go to the tea room when she suddenly saw a little girl running over and said, "Sister Xiu'er, Madam has asked you to go."
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
The young girl couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether she wanted to or not. She didn't have much choice. She could only blush with embarrassment and be shyly led into Washington by her mother. She changed her face, changed her clothes, and a few days later, she became a rough girl waiting outside the study.
Mrs. Fang talked to Aunt Shuangcheng for a while, and not long after, Hongxiu came. When Sanchun led her into the house, she was still panting slightly. It could be seen that she ran here in a hurry, but she didn't rush in just because she had just been appreciated by the master. I mean to neglect the lady.

Mrs. Fang looked at it and nodded secretly. This girl was indeed a trouble-free girl and worthy of a big responsibility. Keeping her in the first place proved that she had a pretty good vision.
After saying that, Hua Xu ignored her, took a book, sat by the window and started reading.
The master's voice rang in her ears, sounding much richer this time.
Li Xiuer was startled for a moment, but he quickly responded: "Yes, thank you Master for the name. From now on, I will be called Hongxiu."
