Chapter 154 Enlightening Jia Tanchun

For Yingchun and Daiyu, the affairs of the Jia family are like other people's affairs; but for someone like Tanchun who values ​​feelings and has a sense of responsibility, this is something happening in her own family, and it has even become a shackle that she cannot escape.

Yingchun coughed twice and reminded Daiyu: "You are going off topic!"

Daiyu returned to the topic and explained to Tanchun: "The reason I said this is not to scare you, but to make you realize the seriousness of the matter. In the Jia family, every incident is a matter of life and death. And your attitude and behavior will directly affect your future."

Tanchun held Daiyu's hand tightly and said firmly, "Cousin! Please teach me!"

Daiyu glared at her and pretended to be angry: "Have you forgotten what Nanny Gu taught you before? Yes, you are indeed the daughter of Aunt Zhao, but your father is not some servant or housekeeper, but my second uncle - the second master of the Jia family. She can barely be considered half a master, but you are the real main branch lady of the Jia family!"

She lowered her voice and continued, "To be honest, the current emperor is not the daughter of the queen mother. Who dares to disrespect him?"

Yingchun gave Daiyu a cold look, and her meaning was very clear: You only know how to fool these two young ladies who are ignorant of state affairs.

Daiyu winked at her: This analogy is a bit crude, but it is enough to achieve the purpose.

Tanchun and Xichun were both thinking about Daiyu's words with their heads down, and did not notice the eye contact between Yingchun and Daiyu.

After a long time, Tanchun raised her head, her eyes clear, "I understand, I am a daughter of the Jia family. Even if I am the daughter of an aunt, it does not change the fact that I am by the side of the madam and raised in the old ancestral courtyard. People always say that the grace of giving birth is not as good as the grace of raising, let alone the aunt who takes money from me every month!"

Daiyu clapped her hands and agreed, "You are right to think so!"

However, she did not intend to train a right-hand man for Mrs. Wang, so she changed the subject and asked, "Do you think the lady will really like you?"

Tanchun's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said hesitantly, "Maybe she likes me, otherwise why would she take me from my aunt and give me to the old ancestor to raise?"

Daiyu didn't rush to break her fantasy, but changed the question: "So, do you think the Madam likes Lian's second sister-in-law more or you more?"

"That must be Second Sister-in-law Lian!" This time Tanchun answered quickly, almost blurting out, "Look how much she thinks of Second Sister-in-law. She has wanted to hand over the housekeeping work to Second Sister-in-law several times!"

Daiyu looked at Tanchun and smiled meaningfully: "Then do you think the maids in the Jia family are easy to get along with?"

Seeing that Tanchun didn't answer, Daiyu struck while the iron was hot: "Do you think letting a new daughter-in-law who has been married for less than two years, hasn't established herself, and doesn't even have a child, be the housekeeper is loving her?"

Tanchun was somewhat annoyed by Daiyu's question, and slammed the tea bowl heavily on the table in frustration: "I came to you for advice, why are you asking me instead! If you don't want to tell me, forget it, I'm going back!"

Tanchun was about to get up and leave, but Yingchun held her back. She explained, "Daiyu said this for a reason. Don't leave so quickly. Just listen to what she has to say."

Tanchun looked at Yingchun in surprise, then glanced at Xichun. She found that Xichun was not as surprised as she was, but seemed to have known it for a long time, and suddenly a nameless anger surged in her heart.

"Great! You three are in the same group, teaming up and hiding this from me, right?"

As Tanchun spoke, she felt more and more aggrieved and burst into tears.

Daiyu spread her hands, indicating that it was not her fault.

Seeing Tanchun crying so sadly, Yingchun quickly put down her tea bowl and went over to comfort her. But unexpectedly, the more Yingchun comforted her, the more sadly she cried.

The crying sound attracted the servant over.

"Ms. Lin, I think I heard my daughter crying. Can I come in?"

Tanchun stopped crying and began to sob.

Daiyu stood up, opened the door a crack, revealing only half of her face, and said, "Your daughter is feeling aggrieved because Aunt Zhao had her things taken away from her. It's okay, you can go back first, we won't bully her."

The secretary was doubtful and hesitant when she heard Tanchun's nasal voice: "I'm talking to my sisters in private. You can go back now!"

After hearing the voice of his own girl, Shishu returned to his room with peace of mind.

Seeing that Tanchun had finally stopped crying, Yingchun smiled and teased her: "You are a pretty good maid!"

"Siqi is also very good." Tanchun took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears and said casually, "How about we switch?"

Unexpectedly, Yingchun agreed immediately: "Okay!"

Tanchun froze in an instant, and asked in surprise, "Did Siqi do something wrong?"

At this time, Daiyu came out of the inner room with a half-basin of water, placed it in front of Tanchun, and said, "Wash with water, it will make you feel better."

Tanchun wet the handkerchief and applied some of Daiyu's facial cream.

After crying, the depression in her heart dissipated a lot. She still did not forget the previous topic and asked, "What happened to Siqi?"

Yingchun was so annoyed by her that she couldn't do anything about it. Considering the fact that she had just suffered a setback, she explained, "She just has too many ideas and sometimes likes to make her own decisions."

Daiyu understood Yingchun's character and knew what she had discovered, but it was inconvenient for her to say it directly, so she interrupted and said, "Tanchun, do you really want to exchange maids with Sister Yingchun?"

"I was just saying it casually. Shishu is pretty good!" Tanchun wiped her mouth in embarrassment. Suddenly she remembered that Daiyu and Yingchun had made her cry. She pretended to be angry and accused them, "You three are really in the same group. You only know how to unite to bully me!"

But the tone didn't sound like blame, but rather a bit like coquettishness.

Daiyu and Yingchun exchanged glances, and Tanchun saw this scene. She smiled triumphantly and said, "Look, I caught you!"

"Alright, alright!" Daiyu smiled and brought the topic back on track. "The reason I asked you so many questions is that I want you to see clearly the problems in this mansion. At the same time, you can also recognize your own heart and know what you really want and what you can get."

Following Daiyu's thoughts, Tanchun began to think carefully about Daiyu's question. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She said in grief and anger, "Is there nothing I can do?"

Daiyu sighed: "This huge Jia family is not your responsibility alone, nor can it be supported by you or Sister Yuanchun alone.

The male masters of the Jia family have no ambition to make progress, and the maids and housekeepers are fighting with each other and only care about enriching themselves. These are not things that you, a girl who is not even nine years old, can manage. "
