I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 36 4 Reading Companions

Dongyue walked towards the east courtyard with a bunch of delicious food, followed by two little girls working in the kitchen, Taohua and Meihua.

The two little girls are honest and well-behaved, they don't talk too much and they are not the kind of people who would try to show off.

Dongyue likes girls like this. When she went to the big kitchen before, those scheming and clever little girls looked down on her and wouldn't even say a word when they met her.

Dongyue still holds a grudge against me.

So this time Li Wang arranged for someone to help her carry the food boxes, and she directly picked two taciturn but polite and dutiful maids to help her, which could be regarded as supporting the two maids.

As soon as Dongyue walked to the door, she saw Chunyue waiting for her at the door with a few newly bought maids in the mansion.

Nanny Xu's training of the maids and servants has begun to show results. Now they look decent and can help the head maids with some work.

Jia She planned to place four first-class maids, four second-class maids, and seven or eight third-class maids around Jia Cheng. In any case, he wanted Jia Cheng to feel like the center of attention.

As for the servants, eight of them will be assigned to the position, each with their own duties, and they will be trained to become Jia Cheng's capable men.

Jia She really put a lot of thought into making Jia Cheng live a comfortable life.

When Chunyue saw Dongyue, she hurriedly went to meet her with a few little girls.

Then she instructed the maids behind her to take the food boxes from Dongyue, Taohua and Meihua.

Chunyue also took a few copper coins from her purse and stuffed them into Taohua and Meihua's hands.

The two maids were afraid to take it, and looked at Dongyue for help. Dongyue smiled and said to them: "Take it. Thank you for making such a trip. Use it to buy candy."

The two maids bowed to Chunyue and Dongyue, thanked them, and then ran back to the kitchen happily.

Chunyue looked at the food in the lunch box and asked curiously: "Dongyue, why did you go to the kitchen so quickly today? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Dong Yue snorted proudly, "They are too busy trying to curry favor with me now, how dare they embarrass me? Aren't they afraid of being sold out?

Dong Yue raised her head as if to show off, "After I got there, Butler Li greeted me at the door with a nod and a bow, like a pug.

Then he brought me a chair and asked me to sit down, while he stood and talked to me.

Our eldest family is now proud of themselves. Let’s see who dares to embarrass us in the future.”

Chunyue felt relieved after hearing this. After all, she had also been troubled by those people in the kitchen.

"Our master and mistress have finally stood up, and we can walk around Rongguo Mansion with our heads held high from now on.

In the past, that little slut Jinchuan always showed off in front of me. Let’s see if she still has the nerve to show off in the future.”

Chunyue and Dongyue were whispering to each other, talking bad about the maids around Mrs. Wang as they walked into the house.

Dongyue glanced at the maids who were working hard and behaved properly, and asked quietly: "Chunyue, why are they working today? They didn't learn the rules from Granny Xu."

Chunyue smiled softly, "You have learned these rules well, and have been given a name. In two days, you will be able to serve the Third Master."

Dongyue glanced at the little girls behind, pulled Chunyue forward a few steps quickly, and then whispered: "Chunyue, the little girl trained by Granny Xu does look extraordinary. Will she replace us in the future?"

Dongyue suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Chunyue thought Dongyue was worrying too much and laughed at her, saying, "How old are those little girls? The oldest is only ten years old, and the youngest is only six.

By the time they grow up, we would have already..." Chunyue suddenly felt shy when she said this. What she wanted to say was that by the time these little girls grew up, she and Dongyue would have already been married.

Dongyue looked at Chunyue's blushing face and seemed to understand what she wanted to say.

Dongyue gently twisted Chunyue's waist and said to her jokingly: "You little slut, are you missing a man?

When the girls grow up, you can get married. I heard that your parents are planning to arrange a marriage between you and your cousin."

Chunyue's face flushed when she heard Dongyue's teasing, and she patted her gently. "You're still talking about me, you're two years younger than me, and you're almost there too.

If you continue to serve Master Cheng for another three to five years, you should get married, right? Didn't your parents tell you about your future? "

Dongyue shook his head and coughed lightly.

She actually didn't want to get married so early. Even if she did, she didn't want to marry a servant.

Who says a maid must be paired with a servant? Dong Yue is a woman with great ambitions. She doesn't want to climb into her master's bed, and she also looks down on old men like Jia She.

What she actually wanted to follow was Liu Jinzhu's path. She wanted to find a scholar to marry, and then encourage the scholar to make progress. Then, relying on the Jia family's connections, she might be able to earn the title of a lady of honor.

But he never expressed this idea to outsiders.

However, seeing how smart and studious Jia Cheng was, Dong Yue felt that her young master would surely rise to great heights in the future, and as a maidservant beside him, she might be able to benefit from his success.

When Master Cheng Sanye goes to school, if he knows some poor scholars who can introduce him to others, he will be able to escape from slavery and live the life of an ordinary person.

However, Dongyue still kept her great ambitions in her heart. Her top priority now was to serve Master Cheng San well and be a respected maid by his side, so that her master would think about her.

There will be no reward without hard work, otherwise why would others help you?

Dongyue didn't want to continue the topic of marriage, so she pulled Chunyue and walked quickly into the house.

She asked the maid to put down the food box, and then told Mrs. Xing in vivid detail how the head kitchen tried to curry favor with their eldest wife.

Mrs. Xing was very happy to hear this and wanted to share this matter with Jia She and Jia Cheng.

So she interrupted Dongyue and asked her to follow her into the study so that she could talk about the faces of those people in the kitchen.

Madam Xing brought Dongyue and a group of maids to the door of the study, and then heard voices coming from inside.

Jia Cheng and his four study companions were studying in the room, but Jia Cheng was not studying there. Instead, he was acting as a little teacher to teach Jia Yun, Jia Hao, Jia Ke and Jia Jing.

Jia Yun and Jia Hao have some talent for reading. Both of them like reading and are willing to work hard in it.

So they were able to keep up with what Jia Cheng taught them after working hard.

Of course, they can't compare with Jia Cheng. This guy with a cheat has an amazing learning ability. He is truly inhuman.

In contrast, Jia Ke and Jia Jing are not so good. They are the kind of people with strong limbs but simple minds, and it is too painful for them to study.

Jia Cheng watched Jia Ke and Jia Jing reciting with their teeth bared, shaking their heads for a long time until their brains were almost mixed up, but in the end they couldn't remember even two sentences.

Jia Cheng sighed and looked at Jia She helplessly, "Master, Jia Ke and Jia Jing don't seem to be suitable for studying."

When Jia Ke and Jia Jing heard Jia Cheng's words, they were so frightened that they turned pale. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Third Master, Third Master, please don't chase us away. We will study hard."

Jia Ke pounded his head hard and said, "I am so stupid. I recite the lessons every night but forget them the next morning.

I read the next sentence and forgot the previous one. I don’t know why I am so stupid. ”

Jia Ke kowtowed and said, "Third Master, I can do other work for you, just don't chase me away."

Jia Jing also kowtowed. He was so big and looked ferocious, but when he cried, his tears and snot were all over his face, just like a child.

"Master, Third Master, please don't let me go. I can work, so please keep me. I will study hard, and if I can't memorize the books in the future, I won't eat or sleep."

Seeing how pitiful Jia Ke and Jia Jing looked, Jia Yun and Jia Hao couldn't help but feel sad for them, so they also knelt down to speak for them.

"Master, Third Master, Uncle Ke and Uncle Jing just have low talent for studying, but they really work hard. Can you give them a chance and don't let them go?"

The members of the Jia family who could serve as Jia Cheng's study companions were all people with poor living conditions but good character.

Seeing how miserable Jia Ke and Jia Jing were, Jia Yun and Jia Hao would not stand idly by.

Jia She selected these four people after careful observation and assessment. He would not put anyone with bad character around Jia Cheng.

Since they came to Jia Cheng's side to serve as his students, their living conditions have improved suddenly. The family can eat meat every now and then, and they feel a lot more relaxed.

Therefore, these four people cherish their lives with Jia Cheng very much, and vow to gain a firm foothold and make Jia Cheng satisfied.

Jia Yun and Jia Hao studied hard every day, and with a little talent for studying, they did well in their studies. But it is hard to describe Jia Ke and Jia Jing.

Jia Ke and Jia Jing were so scared that they trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy. Their lives finally saw a bright future, and they really didn't want to leave.

Jia Cheng was shocked by the actions of the four companions. Didn't he just say one sentence? Why did these four people start to kneel down and cry? He didn't say that Jia Ke and Jia Jing should leave instead.

He was quite satisfied with these two people. They looked very safe and were the most suitable to be his personal bodyguards. If you can't read, then you can't read. Everyone has their own path.

Jia Cheng recalled what he had just said, but before he could finish the rest of his words, Jia Ke and Jia Jing knelt on the ground and started crying, resulting in a misunderstanding.

He quickly interrupted the crying of several people and said, "Okay, stop crying. I didn't say I was going to drive you away."

When Jia Yun and the other three heard this, they immediately stopped crying and knelt on the ground, looking at Jia Cheng eagerly.

Jia Cheng cleared his throat, put on a slight smile, and said to them as gently as possible: "I haven't finished what I said just now. Jia Ke and Jia Jing are indeed not suitable for studying.

Then you should go and learn martial arts. Our Rongguo Mansion itself is lined with military generals.

Since you two are not as good at studying as Jia Yun and Jia Hao, then you should learn martial arts. You will take different paths in the future."

When Jia Ke and Jia Jing heard this, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. "Third Master, are you really going to let us practice martial arts? That's great. I like martial arts."

Jia Ke and Jia Jing liked to wield swords and guns, but they had never learned it systematically. After all, people who study martial arts need more money.

People say that the poor are good at literature but the rich are good at martial arts. Learning martial arts consumes a lot of energy, so you need to eat well to replenish your strength.

People like them are lucky to have enough to eat. It is simply impossible for them to eat supplements or chicken, duck, fish and meat.

So they can only swing their fists and move their legs, but there is no way to learn martial arts.

Now that Jia Cheng has given them the opportunity to learn martial arts, they are naturally grateful. Maybe they can also join the army and become generals.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke and Jia Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Jia Cheng and Jia She. Jia Ke said, "Thank you, Master Da and Master San. I will definitely learn martial arts well and repay you two for your kindness in the future."

Jia Jing agreed, "Me too."

Jia Cheng and Jia She nodded in satisfaction at their performance. Jia She said, "When you follow Brother Cheng in the future, you should be more stable and don't cry when you hear a word.

I carefully selected you to accompany Cheng Ge'er. As long as you accompany Cheng Ge'er well, how can wealth and glory be achieved without you?

"A little bit of money that leaks from my fingers is enough for you to live a good life, for your families. You must fulfill your duties conscientiously."

Jia She didn't need to say this, as Jia Yun and the other four had already had this idea.

From the day they followed Jia Cheng, their family members reminded them countless times that they should be filial to the eldest master and protect the third master Cheng.

The study was very noisy. Just as Jia Yun and the other three had finished tidying themselves up, Dong Yue's voice was heard outside the study.
