Chapter 182 Peach Blossom Temple
She has a good appearance, but not particularly outstanding. However, her temperament is absolutely amazing. She is like a fairy descended to earth.
Chang Xixi watched Gu Rongyu approach from afar, feeling delighted. She walked up to him and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you just leave court? Do you have anything new to share with me?"
"It's not that there's anything new, I just missed you and came to see me! I heard that you built a peach blossom temple for viewing flowers, but I haven't heard you mention it, so I came to take a look."
Gu Rongyu saw many young talents standing at the door!
He felt unhappy because he was a very good-looking guy... but he couldn't stand up to people younger than him, even though those people didn't hold as high an official position as he did.
I'm still very upset! Why are my people being coveted by so many people?
He felt very uncomfortable when he thought about it. He took Chang Xixi's hand and wanted to do something happy, but was ruthlessly rejected by Chang Xixi.
"I have something to do here, you can go and have fun by yourself! By the way, don't go in, someone has already gone in. Those outside are waiting to come back tomorrow." Chang Xixi said and went to educate the maids and old women.
Tell them what they should and shouldn't do.
Moreover, they had to be given vocational training. In modern times, this term is correct. In ancient times, this term had not yet been invented and they could only be called "lectures".
"The ladies asked to remove the screens. What are you going to say? There are rules and you are not allowed to do that! You can't break the rules. If you are interested, you can write a letter to confirm your intention. If not, just have tea and send us off."
"What should the gentlemen say if they want to get close to the ladies? Tell them that if they want to get married, they should go home and propose marriage. This is not a place for a tryst. The rules are there. If you can't do that, get them out! From now on, you are not allowed to enter any shop under Madam Chang's name! Do you understand? We are just a place for making friends, not a pimp or a brothel. This is a more elegant place!"
The old ladies know what elegance is!
But they knew that Chang Xixi's intention was to ask the young ladies and gentlemen to restrain their behavior. They could talk and do anything, but they could not go beyond the limit.
If you like a lady, go and propose to her!
The maids were thinking differently. They thought this was an opportunity to climb up the social ladder! Even if they could only become a concubine, they would still be considered a superior person.
Not better than others?
How could Chang Xixi know what they were thinking?
After reprimanding the old women, she began to reprimand the maids, "You are here to serve tea and water. I tell you, there is no chance of this. Because the young masters will naturally have servants to serve them, it will not be your turn."
"Put aside your desire to cling to the rich and powerful, understand? I won't let you down! But if you get into trouble, I won't show any mercy! Either you die, or you'll never be able to work for a rich man again in your life. You'll just be sold into a brothel, and there'll be no way out."
Chang Xixi’s words were very serious!
These little maids are all ignorant people, and the same is true when they do things. They only care about love and money, and have no morals or ethics.
They must be made to realize how powerful they are. One wrong move could mean death! Otherwise, with this young man and young lady together, there would be no doubt that something bad would happen.
After giving him a lecture, he continued, "What if the ladies ask you to pass notes or do other things? You have to see if it's in accordance with the rules. As for whether it's in accordance with the rules, you have to ask the maids. Even if it's just passing something, you can't do it yourself."
As Chang Xixi spoke, she asked Xiaohong to take the maids aside to listen to the rules.
These old women, who didn't marry into a good family, are naturally jealous! It's normal for these young maids to want to find a home while they are young!
However, they felt that they had not found a good home, so why should they let these maids succeed? They should just marry a servant like themselves and work hard to support their family.
Because of these jealousies, they will naturally keep them in their hearts!
In order to prevent them from earning any more tips, Chang Xixi specifically told the ladies and maids who were going in that they were not allowed to bring any silver or money in, and of course, no jewelry.
This is how we avoid the ladies from bribing people with money!
Chang Xixi was very thoughtful!
Before entering, the ladies had to go to a room first and put all their valuables in a small box with their names written on it. After coming out, they could get their own things.
This applies not only to the young ladies, but also to the maids!
So, the old women didn’t get any money!
Without the reward money, they could only rely on the wages paid by Chang Xixi, and their wages were the same as those of the maids. So they were happy in their hearts!
After Chang Xixi finished her last sentence, she put down the teacup in her hand and said that everyone could leave. Then everyone left.
Only then did I have time to talk to Gu Rongyu.
Gu Rongyu did not go in. He sat obediently on a stool outside the door waiting for Chang Xixi to finish her work. When he saw her walking towards him, Gu Rongyu stood up.
"Thank you for your hard work, my lady! Unfortunately, I really don't understand these things! I can't help you at all. I can only sit aside and watch you."
Gu Rongyu said this, but in his heart he thought Chang Xixi was really charming. He felt satisfied and thought his wife was the best in the world.
Chang Xixi took Gu Rongyu to another place, which was not rented by her, but there were still peach blossoms on the mountain, which were wild all over the mountain and very beautiful.
The two of them walked hand in hand and strolled together.
"Are things going well?"
"It's not going well! The Emperor has always been reluctant to face that period of history, so there's nothing I can do. It all depends on... how the Crown Prince handles things. Prince Rui simply can't wait any longer, so he confronted the Crown Prince directly in court."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Then what did the prince do? Will it affect our plan?"
"No, the old emperor himself won't admit it. We can't force him!"
"This..." Chang Xixi couldn't understand. As a king of a country, he should have the courage to admit his mistakes. Why was he unwilling to face up to what he had done?
She raised this question and asked, "Why are you unwilling to face it?"
Gu Rongyu didn't think Chang Xixi was that stupid. Perhaps he had been too busy recently and had no time to think about it. "It's precisely because he's the king that he can't admit it. My father was a famous general back then! If he admitted that he killed someone by mistake, he would be laughed at by other countries! It would also chill the hearts of the ministers. Who would be willing to reimburse the court?"
