The First Phoenix

Shi Anxia stood far away and knelt down, fearing that the cold air would pass on to the people in the room, "Greetings to my grandparents and my father."

But at this moment, except for the kneeling Aunt Wen, who would dislike her being cold?

Shi Chengxuan stood up excitedly, "Xia'er, you said the matter is resolved?"

Shi Anxia nodded, "Yes, my daughter saw that you were anxious and knew that the matter was urgent, so she took someone to deal with it herself."

The old Marquis and Mrs. Shi looked at this sensible granddaughter and became more and more pleased with them. They waved to her and asked her to sit down.

She asked Nan Yan to take off her cloak, and then she sat down next to the old lady with a smile.

Mrs. Shi took advantage of the situation and stuffed her Tang Pozi into Shi Anxia's arms.

This scene stung Aunt Wen's eyes.

Why did she fall from the clouds in just a few days, but Shi Anxia won the favor of Mrs. Shi and others.

Apart from other things, Mrs. Shi and Shi Chengxuan have always been selfish and selfish.

When had he ever looked Shi Anxia in the eye? Now, he seemed to be bewildered, protecting Shi Anxia like the apple of his eye.

Aunt Wen held herself up and asked grimly, "How did Sister Xia deal with those untouchables?"

Shi Anxia looked at Aunt Wen steadily and said seriously, "It's inappropriate for an aunt to call a legitimate daughter 'Xia Jie'er', isn't it? Our mansion may have declined, but we still have to have rules. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will say that my father's harem is in chaos, affecting his future." After saying that, she turned to Shi Chengxuan and asked, "Father, does what I say make sense?"

Shi Chengxuan had just been scolded by Lord Jiang, so he cared most about these things. He nodded solemnly, becoming even more dissatisfied with Concubine Wen. "As a concubine, what qualifications do you have to call me 'Xia Jie'er'? You should call me 'Miss'! The rules are all thrown into the dog's stomach!"

Aunt Wen's throat was blocked by blood, her face flushed the color of liver. She gritted her teeth and asked again word by word, "How did Miss An Xia deal with those untouchables?"

Shi Anxia liked to see Aunt Wen looking like she was about to vomit blood. She smiled and leaned her head on Old Madam Shi's shoulder, looking very intimate, with the innocence and simplicity that should be expected of someone her age. "Of course it was paid with silver! Each person gave ten taels of silver. There were twenty-four people in total, so we spent two hundred and forty taels."

She rarely smiled like this, but when she did it made Aunt Wen's head hurt.

She rarely spoke in such a high tone, as if every word was stained with the joy of the child showing off.

Aunt Wen's heart was pierced with blood.

Shi Anxia asked Mrs. Shi sincerely, "Grandma, this money should be provided to the granddaughter by Aunt Wen, right?"

Mrs. Shi nodded, becoming more and more loving, "It should be." Turning around, she told Aunt Wen, "You are the one who caused the problem, so you will naturally pay for the money. Later, you can give Sister Xia a subsidy of three hundred taels of silver. We can’t let Sister Xia’s work go in vain.”

"Three hundred taels!" Aunt Wen almost spit out a mouthful of blood. I'll give you the money, and you'll get a good reputation!

This matter is not difficult to solve at all. If the old lady hadn't dragged her to kneel here and talk so much nonsense, she would have gone out to find someone.

Aren’t those untouchables just short of money? Just a cheap bone!

She had already thought about it. At most, if one person was given twenty coins, she didn't believe that she couldn't solve this group of poor people.

In the end, each person was given ten taels! Those cheap bones might not even earn ten taels of silver in a year!

The most irritating thing is that she paid money to help Shi Anxia be a good person! Aunt Wen felt like she was going to faint from anger.

Shi Chengxuan felt that his daughter was doing a good job, and things that could be solved with money were no big deal.

At this moment, I saw how pleasing my daughter was, and how displeased Aunt Wen was. She said viciously, "Three hundred taels are cheap for you! If you miss my important event, I want you to look good!"

Shi Chengxuan soon knew that this woman had missed his important event after all, and that was something to be said later.

It was Haishi when Anxia returned to Xiashiyuan.

Bei Hui boiled some medicine and heated it up several times, but she still didn't show up. She was mumbling, "Why haven't you come back yet so late? How can I get better without taking the medicine? The moment I turned around, the girl ran away."

Shi Anxia smiled and let Nan Yan take off her cloak, took the medicine bowl from Bei Hui's hand, and responded warmly, "Isn't this back? Sister Bei Hui, I was wrong. I must drink the medicine first next time." Get out."

Bei An suddenly became happy and snatched the medicine bowl back, "Girl, wait, I'll heat up the medicine."

Shi Anxia looked at her brisk back and laughed, tears welling up in her eyes.

It’s great that these old friends are still alive today.

In her previous life, Bei Hui was the person who stayed with her the longest.

To her, Bei Hui is not a maid or a nun in the palace. But a sister, a mother-like existence.

Bei Hui was beaten, flogged, and had her fingers clipped off for her; he stayed with her in the cold palace to blow the cold wind, ate rotten rice, drank poison for her and hurt her throat, and was unable to speak anymore.

After she took control of the palace and harem, and ruled from behind the curtain, no one dared to disobey her, but Bei Hui couldn't bear the pain in her body and died of pain in her arms.

Bei Hui finally smiled and mouthed to her, "Miss, in the next life, I will still be by your side to serve you."

She doesn't call her "Queen Mother", she calls her "Girl".

Just like now, "Girl, the medicine is here! Drink it while it's hot."

Shi Anxia took the medicine bowl, frowned, and drank it in small sips.

Bei Hui handed her a candied fruit and put it to her lips, "Girl, open your mouth."

When Anxia ate the candied fruit, she felt sweet in her heart. He held her warm hand and refused to let go, his eyes were red and he said coquettishly, "Sister Bei Hui, I want more."

Bei Fen raised his chin, smiled and took out a candied fruit from the jar and put it in the girl's mouth, "The doctor said, you should take this medicine three times a day, so that your body will heal quickly."

Nan Yan chuckled on the side, a little envious of Bei Hui for being so close to the girl. The other four of them bought the house later, so they didn't dare to make such a mistake.

There are four first-class maids, two second-class maids, and two third-class maids in Shi Anxia's Xia Shiyuan.

Among the first-class maids, Bei Hui was brought back from outside the mansion by Shi Anxia herself. She also served as the housekeeper, in charge of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Xia Shiyuan.

Dong Xiyue and Nan Yan were both handpicked by Tang Chujun himself and were also first-class maids. Dong Xi knew some martial arts and also served as a female guard.

In addition, the red magpie was also given by Tang Chujun. Because she was young and still had a lot to learn, she became a second-class maid.

Apart from these, all other maids were arranged by Aunt Wen.

Now Xia Shiyuan suddenly came in with five mothers, and it suddenly seemed crowded. But for the sake of convenience, they can only be wronged.

Shi Anxia knew that these mothers' identities were in the hands of her eldest aunt, and their character was trustworthy.

When the eldest aunt was in the most difficult time in the Protector's Mansion, there was no one available, so she went to her parents' home to transfer someone to the Protector's Mansion, so that she could compete with the current mistress of the Protector's Mansion.

The whole family of these mothers has been working in the Dingguo Palace for generations. Unless there is something wrong with their brains, they would not be able to stab them in the back.
