Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Embark
The next day, Qixuan began her life in Xiu's residence as the Great Miss. In his mind still hoping that this was just a dream, indeed he had fantasized to become a traveler like in dramas and novels, but never expected to become reality, without a smartphone how did he survive?!
Finish cleaning and tidying himself up, he had breakfast while waiting for the House Chief Steward to bring along the account book he would handle from now on and met with Li Ruoruo whom he would interview to be selected as his personal servant.
"TaoTao, why are you standing there?" Qixuan asked astonishedly by holding the two chopsticks ready to grab some food.
Looking at Xiao Taoli who was only silent in the corner of the room, Qixuan felt uneasy. When yesterday eating the main hall with his father, the servants and guards just kept quiet outside the room, and while at the inn he only ate alone with his Second Brother, he said, the others were different places and had their own places, so he did not feel the uneasy feeling he had right now.
"Did I make a mistake, Non-Xuanxuan?" Xiao Taoli's question made clear to her Miss, almost got her wrong call.
"No, you're not wrong. Sit down, let's eat together!" Said Qixuan picking up the chopsticks again and putting them across the table.
"Xuanxuan, this is inappropriate." Xiao Taoli reminded.
"What is inappropriate? Sit down and eat! Don't argue! There's only us in this room! After all, let's just say that the employer is treating his subordinates." Say Qixuan Firm and Sharp.
Xiao Taoli could only follow Big Miss Xiu's orders, for somehow when her Miss said it was hard to refute.
Approaching and sitting across from Qixuan, Picking up the chopsticks that Qixuan had given her and began to eat.
Qixuan who was looking at the so obedient Xiao Taoli just smiled and continued eating her breakfast.
They ate while chatting a lot of things, Qixuan asked a lot to expand her knowledge of this world.
After eating breakfast, Qixuan walked over and looked around a bit at the state of her manor front yard, she intended to further embellish and make bustling Manor Xing with various types of plants or flowers.
Xiao Taoli followed him from behind Qixuan so knowing a lot of things while asking and chatting with Xiao Taoli.
This country they live in now is the State of Shen, a type of government that adheres to the Imperial system, Since Three Hundred Years ago this empire has the Emperor Shen surname that continues to change according to age and descent.
The border city that the Xiu family occupied was Ping'an City since the first time this city had always been a place for barbarian tribes to attack the empire. It is difficult to make this city peaceful, maybe some years this barbarian tribal attack is not as intense as the previous time, he said, But because there is no peace agreement between the two sides, a time of attack could happen and the city is again chaotic.
It could have been that the Shen Empire side had sent another party other than the Great General to guard Ping'an city, which did not match this name.
But as you know the General asked himself to defend and protect this city. The Emperor allowed after all no invaders to be so emergency as the Shen Empire and the neighboring Empire signed a peace treaty, no one would dare to break because it would humiliate their country after all it was the will of the late emperor before.
The Barbarians although often attacked the city of Ping'an but they were not tough enough, they could only mess up and make losses here.
The moment the Xiu Family was sent to Ping'an City in the imperial capital was spread if they were exiled for offending the Emperor. But the Emperor immediately rebutted by issuing a special decree so that rumors denouncing the name of his good friend died down and were abolished.
At that time the Emperor became more respected because the people thought he was an excellent and virtuous Emperor, so sincerely befriended the Great General without any suspicion with the General who could have rebelled for holding a plaque and military forces.
Qixuan asked about Wen Liu's family but Xiao Taoli didn't know anything. Qixuan decided to wait to meet Li Rourou who was in fact the son of the personal servant serving Wen Liu at that time.
After walking on the front page of Manor, Qixuan sat elegantly with a pot of tea and a snack on the table. Incense burned and gave off a soothing fragrance, Qixuan inhaled it very greedily.
But a moment later
"Ohuk.uhuk.uhuk." Cough Qixuan inhaled too much incense smoke.
"It's okay. Uhuk." Qixuan said covering her mouth with one hand.
Wanting to be as elegant as the real Big Miss but instead humiliating herself. Does he have to be what? Going back to fashion is not much thought and very relaxing.
Little chuckles considering his behavior.
Xiao Taoli who saw her Lady instead chuckled lightly and frowned, Is Miss's brain really troubled?
When he wanted to speak, a voice from the front of the Manor sounded.
"Head Manager, Qi Li. Facing Big Miss Xiu." Said a middle-aged woman bowing in salute.
"Li Rourou, greet Big Miss Xiu." Said a girl who looked young at her age.
"Strengthen your bodies." Qixuan said back to the graceful and authoritative mode with her body sitting upright and a small tea cup in her lentiknya.
Qixuan stared at them intensely to pay attention to their expressions.
The Chief Steward, Qi Li looked extremely wise, but it seemed that within him there was not only wisdom but also intelligence and sharpness.
Li Ruoruo was like an innocent girl but judging by the way she behaved it seemed like she was quite intelligent and easy to learn.
Qixuan decided to look and study the Account Book of the Xiu residence first while looking at whether Li Ruoruo's attitude would change while being left waiting for longer, because when someone is left to wait longer the original attitude that is in him will come out. Qixuan wanted to see that, would Li Ruorou be that patient?
"Head Manager, Qi Li. You must have understood it from the beginning. We'll just start." Said Qixuan putting her teacup.
Qi Li, approaching Qixuan handed over the account book and explained in detail.
It did not feel like time was running fast and Qixuan was exhausted from sitting up straight and hearing Qi Li's words, Qixuan understood only a part of it.
Looking around and looking Xiao Taoli was still standing in the corner of the room watching them, while Li Ruoruo was also still standing straight with her head lowered not daring to look at Big Miss Xiu.
Qixuan who was not strong with the account book business asked Qi Li to stop and continue with the rest of the day. Qi Li nodded in understanding and took a few steps back beside Li Ruoruo.
"Li Ruoruo, hold your head and look at me!" Qixuan said reign and dominate
Li Ruoruo who looked hesitant was forced to straighten her head and stare at Qixuan as the Chief Steward Qi Li who was next to her nudged her body gave a code, saying, feeling such great pressure from the side and front made Li Ruoruo just obey orders.
Qixuan who saw the incident understood a little of Li Ruoruo's nature, it seemed that this girl's attitude could not be exposed to such great pressure, it could be said that she was also so timid.
Qixuan did not like this kind of attitude because it would be easy to bully, but because of Li Ruoruo's initial attitude that was so patient, it was not easy, enduring a long wait and being able to control himself even though he actually felt annoyed and his own body ache from standing for too long, making Qixuan tolerate him intending to change Li Ruoruo's timid attitude in the future.
Though this Li Ruoruo had never worked as a servant of the residence, she was only in the care or arguably financed by the Xiu family for the services of her mother.
