"yes."
Empress Xian looked out the door and said, "This girl is studious. Even in such difficult circumstances, she didn't sell the books she found, but chose to read instead."
"I think she has a good character."
"It's worth cultivating."
"Sister, your judgment is never wrong!" Concubine Liang laughed. "So, sister, are you going to stay here and train her?"
"No need." Concubine Xian chuckled. "This girl is independent. I only need to arrange for her to live, a cook, and a tutor. I don't need to worry about anything else. I believe she can grow up on her own."
Concubine Shu nodded aside and said, "I think this girl is also capable."
Empress Xian said, "Yes, let's set off tomorrow and go to the next city to collect the excess grain there. The grain here is almost harvested."
"Okay." Concubine Liang and the others had no objection.
Xiao Xia studied with the teacher for a few hours. When it was time to eat, Qiu Xiang took her to the kitchen. "Here, our mistress has already selected a cook for you. The cook will come to cook on time every day. All you have to do is come and eat."
"The room next to the kitchen is reserved for you to eat."
"As for where to stay, I'll show you your room later."
"We're leaving here tomorrow. Madam said you can go to the 'Fa Fa Money House' every month to collect your salary. Madam has deposited her money there and has already made arrangements with the manager there."
“You guys can get it every month!”
"If you need to contact my wife in the future, please write a letter and send it to the 'Shan Song Shop'. It's not available here, so you have to go to other cities. I'm sorry to trouble you to travel a long way to deliver the letter."
"Madam will receive the letter the fastest if it's sent to the 'Speed Delivery Shop'."
Qiuxiang told her a lot of things to pay attention to and how to deal with problems in the future.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sister Qiuxiang."
Xiao Xia quickly thanked her, "Thank you for telling me so much."
"That's as it should be. We all work for the Madam, so we should help each other. I won't disturb you while you eat. Your sisters are here too, so take your time."
Qiuxiang waved at her, turned around and left quickly.
Xiaochun ran over quickly, "Xiaoxia, what were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Xia, "Sister Qiuxiang said they're leaving tomorrow, and she came to teach me a few things. Oh, and from now on, we'll get our monthly salary from the 'Fa Fa Money House,' and we'll go there to collect it ourselves every month."
"Our accommodation and meals will be in this courtyard. Sister Qiuxiang will take us to find a room later."
"Okay." Xiaochun laughed, "Xiaoxia, thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you, I would still be there right now!"
"You don't know, I went to do errands with them today and learned a lot. I also learned how to pick out the best pearls! This job is not tiring!"
"The monthly salary is quite a bit! The sisters all told me about it."
“Everyone here is really nice!”
Xiaochun became more and more excited as she spoke, and Xiaoxia was very happy for her. "You fought for this on your own, Xiaochun, let's work hard together! Madam gave us this job so that we can earn money, and we can't let Madam down!"
"Okay!" Xiaochun nodded vigorously. "I will do my best to do this job and will definitely not let Madam down!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Xiaochun, "I'm so hungry, let's eat something quickly! I have to go out later!"
Xiao Xia, "Okay!"
The two went to the kitchen, took some food to the next room to eat, and helped wash the dishes after eating.
The chef was a woman who was 20 or 30 years older than them. Seeing how diligent they were, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much!"
"Just let me do it next time."
The two of them quickly stood at attention, "Hello, sister."
"Let us take care of these!"
"We ate it ourselves, so we should wash it."
The chef raised an eyebrow. In all her years as a chef, this was the first time she had encountered girls like them. "Well, there's nothing wrong with that. But thank you all the same."
"You are also doing errands for the lady, right?"
"What's your job?"
Xiaochun, "I pick pearls in the workshop, picking out the good ones!"
The chef said, "Oh, this is tiring work, but you are young, so you should be able to handle it."
Xiaochun scratched his head, "I feel fine! I'm not too tired."
The chef looked at Xiao Xia, "What about you, little girl?"
"As for me, I'm still studying here with Madam, and she hasn't assigned me any tasks yet!"
The chef said, "Oh, that's fine. I'll be busy now."
The chef remembered that he still had some dishes to prepare and turned back inside.
Xiaochun wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Xiaoxia with a look.
After they washed the dishes and put them inside, they walked a distance away. Xiaochun then asked, "Xiaoxia, why didn't you tell her that you're the future steward? Didn't the Madam want you to be the steward?"
"Secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure."
"For now, this matter is not set in stone, so it's better not to talk nonsense."
Xiao Xia taught her, "Although Madam has promised me, I haven't learned it yet, and I'm not in that position yet!"
"So it's best not to say anything now."
Xiaochun seemed to understand, "So that's how it is. Okay then!"
Xiao Xia, "And don't tell anyone anything you ask. If someone asks you what you do in front of the Madam, just say you do some small things to make a living!"
