"Subordinate?"

Xu Nanyan stared at Dafang with a half-smile, as if waiting for her to tell her that she was ugly.

Da Fang did not panic at all, and explained: "In the past, a certain person had learned some fortune-telling skills from an expert. Unfortunately, after he learned it, his family suffered a lot of trouble and he was reduced to a lowly status, and he never recovered.

There is no room left, so I have to hide my clumsiness.

"When I met my lord that day, I saw that you have great luck, but some people can't see through it. Therefore, I tried my best to show off that day, trying to look familiar in front of my lord, hoping to be taken away by you to serve. Now I have to

To get what you want, you have to be honest..."

Xu Nanyan didn't know how much of this was true or false, but she knew that since she could be reborn, she was definitely a lucky person.

Thinking about it this way, Wenfang's various behaviors since entering the government seem to make sense.

In his previous life, when the Xu family was in trouble and became a stepping stone for others to rise to power, Xu Nanyan understood that power, whoever it is in the hands of, has the right to speak.

As for the so-called three obediences and four virtues for women, there is no such provision in the Xu family's family motto, and the Xu family does not teach their children that way.

Just talking about her generation, she has three daughters and one son.

She, her third sister, and her younger brother have been going to school to study since they were young. The second sister is not good at reading. In addition to recognizing some basic words, she also dances with swords and guns, and learns some self-defense skills from her master.

In addition, Xu Nanyan himself learned arithmetic and business methods, as well as calligraphy and painting.

The third sister Huanxue did it out of interest. In addition to reading and literacy, she learned female craftsmanship from the embroiderer and also learned several musical instruments from the musician.

If we look at it in detail, the younger generation of the Xu family is definitely not bad at all.

Naturally, Xu Nanyan would not have too many scruples because of her identity as a woman. Now that Da Fang considers herself a subordinate, it reminds her that if one day, through hard work, she can enter the court, there is nothing wrong with her.

It's just that these ambitions can only be hidden in the heart.

Thinking of this, she glanced outside the yard and reminded Dafang: "It's better to call me eldest lady, and never show it to outsiders. Also, I'm waiting for you about Chunzhi and Xiaye.

Good news."

"Wenfang understands!"

Dafang knew that Xu Nanyan was testing herself. After all, she had already told her the method. Even if the other party wanted to leave the matter to Xu Ruoxiang, there would be no more omissions, but in the end he still left it to herself. The reason is not revealed.

And metaphor.

At this time, Si Bao also took back the ice cubes.

In order to prevent the conversation between the two from being heard by other servants in the house, Dafang had been observing the surroundings with his mental power. Whether it was the people in the kitchen or other people in the courtyard, he could sense it immediately

.

Therefore, she noticed it as soon as the Four Treasures came back.

Da Fang took the ice cube from Si Bao's hand and put it on the stool next to Xu Nanyan. He just resigned and went to tell Xu Ruoxiang not to worry about the two maids Chunzhi and Xia Ye.

Xu Ruoxiang was a little surprised when she saw Dafang coming to report the news.

The eldest sister even entrusted such a secret matter to this maid. It seemed that she trusted the other party or wanted to spy on the other party.

My sister, she quickly understood what Xu Nanyan meant, and after curiously looking at Dafang who was looking down at the ground, she let her go back.

Xu Ruoxiang thought that her eyes were very obscure, but she didn't expect that Dafang had such a spiritual power.

Therefore, when she lowered her head, she still felt Xu Ruoxiang's probing and appraising eyes.

Of course, she doesn't mind this at all.

Anyway, she was definitely on the same side as Xu Nanyan and not her opponent. Even if Xu Ruoxiang turned around and wanted to find fault with herself, it would be extremely difficult.

The next day, the maid Si Bao suddenly couldn't find the other maid Wen Fang in the yard of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, which made her feel a little panicked.

Could it be that Wenfang offended the master's family and was driven away?

Si Bao was a little worried, but he didn't dare to ask more questions in front of the eldest lady.

It was not until dinner in the evening that Dafang suddenly came back and she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had gone out to do errands.

It is also the maid next to the eldest lady. She has also been here for a few days, and she is already qualified to help the eldest lady on errands.

This is definitely not an ordinary maid, she is a very powerful maid!

After thinking about this, Sibao became more determined to hold Dafang's thigh tightly.

Da Fang didn't know what Si Bao was thinking. After she came back and reported her today's activities to Xu Nanyan alone, she went off to do whatever she was supposed to do.

Five days later, the guard guard in the mansion suddenly came over to report that Chun Zhi had come to the door and wanted to see Miss Xu by name.

The boy didn't dare to agree, but he couldn't stop the spring branches from acting at the door.

After he notified the housekeeper in the house, the latter was also unsure of Xu Nanyan's intentions, so he asked the servant to ask her what she should do with the spring branches, whether she should drive them away directly, or whether she wanted to see him.

Xu Nanyan calmly glanced at Dafang, who had been out several times in the past few days, and saw the latter nodded slightly.

She then smiled and said: "See you! How can you not see me! After all, we were once masters and servants, but we can't let the Xu family be blamed for being unkind and unjust."

"Although Haruzhi is not doing good things in the house, I can't bear to make her life too difficult.

"Let's go out and take a look to see if she needs help. If she just borrows some money, I can make the decision. What about other things? I'm afraid it won't work."

After receiving the reply, the boy went to the gate first.

Xu Nanyan asked Sibao and Dafang to change into new blue dresses, tidy up their makeup and hair, and they seemed to be in good condition before they arrived outside the main gate of Xu Mansion.

In front of the Xu Mansion, some passers-by stopped and waited to see the excitement.

Harue "lived up to expectations" again and made herself miserable, with her hair disheveled and holes in her clothes.

There are many purple marks on the hands and face.

When she saw Xu Nanyan and the two maids, her eyes lit up, especially when she saw that the clothes the two maids were wearing were better than when she and Xia Ye were at the house, and there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Passed by in a flash.

Of course, this glance did not escape the observation of Xu Nanyan and Da Fang.

Before Chun Zhi could suffer misfortune, Xu Nanyan struck pre-emptively and said with a look of pity and shock: "This... Chun Zhi! How did you end up like this? Although before you and Xia Ye were at home, I also said...

You didn't take good care of me, but you never lacked food or clothing, and I never criticized you harshly.

"How come you've reached this point now! Eh? Where's Xia Ye? Why are you here alone?

"By the way, these two are the new maids I bought after you and Xia Ye left. Their treatment is the same as when you were here.

"Oh! I seem to have forgotten my business. You came here today, but do you need help from my family? Although you two talked a lot about the family in private before, if you need any help,

I will definitely help you.

"After all, we are also masters and servants, and I will honor the friendship we shared in the past. But let me make it clear in advance that I cannot do anything that is too difficult."

After hearing this, the people around him took a deep breath and looked at the clothes of the two maids Wen Fang and Si Bao standing next to Xu Nanyan, and they were filled with envy.

Even the maids were wearing gold and silver, and the treatment was so good. When they looked at Chunzhi who was sitting on the ground at the door of the house and refused to get up, their eyes changed.

Maybe this maid made some mistake and was kicked out! She didn't expect that the Xu family's treatment was so good, and she was not satisfied.
