When Minglan married Gu Tingye, she brought only three close servants: Xiaotao, Danju and Cuiwei. Among them, Xiaotao is a maid who grew up with Minglan since she was a child and loves her sisters since she was bought by Shengfu, while Danju is a maid who was raised by Mrs. Sheng before coming to serve her, and Cuiwei is The maid whom Minglan assigned to her from the old lady Sheng after being the housekeeper, her feelings with Minglan are not as good as Xiaotao and Danju.
From the time of company and the relationship between master and servant, the relationship between Xiao Tao and Ming Lan should be closer. Usually Ming Lan goes out and studies are followed by Xiao Tao ; But in terms of ability to handle things, Dan Ju’s ability is much better than Xiao Tao. When Minglan dealt with Lin Xiaoniang and handled the internal affairs of Gu's house, most of the things Dan Ju did was accounted for.
In this way, Danju and Xiaotao should be on the same status in Minglan's heart, but Xiaotao was the only one who stayed next to Minglan. Obviously Danju is much more capable than Xiaotao, why did Minglan marry her away from the Hou Mansion? Because absolute loyalty is more important than the ability to do things!
In ancient times, many of the dowry maids of the main mistress were concubine rooms prepared for the master of the house. If both parties agree, the husband can accept the wife’s maid as a concubine. . However, the dowry maids of most women are their own confidantes. When they are old, they either release the mansion to marry, or they work in the mansion and continue to serve the master. Because Mo Lan refused to let the maid Qiujiang go out to marry him, Qiujiang would be desperate to follow his uncle Liang Han.
originally thought that Xiaotao and Danju’s loyalty to Minglan would never produce the idea of giving Gu Tingye a concubine, but Danju’s gimmick as a helper for Minglan was faint. If she wanted to be a girl from the house of Gu, she thought that Gu Tingye would have to take a concubine sooner or later, so she would simply let him take in the people in Minglan's courtyard. Minglan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
Perhaps Danju's thoughts are really unselfish, but Minglan will definitely not let this happen. She knows very well that there are only hostility and no friends between the concubine room and the mistress. Even if Dan Ju is all about Minglan's sake, it is hard to guarantee that she won't have any other thoughts when she becomes a little girl. After all, sisters and sisters can turn against men.
Minglan knew that Dan Ju had a cousin who had been waiting for her for many years outside, so she decided to give Dan Ju a grace while the master-servant friendship between the two was strong. Because of her physical bond, she married people out, so that we would still have love when we meet in the future. In case Danju is unhappy after marrying Gu Tingye, maybe she will complain that Minglan didn't release herself sooner! After all, human grievances are always inexplicable.
Xiaotao is different. Although she doesn’t have Dan Ju’s brains, her mantra is: "The girl is right about everything! The girl lets me do it! The girl lets me go. I'll go anywhere!" It can be seen that Xiaotao's greatest advantage to Minglan is absolute loyalty. Even if Minglan makes unreasonable demands, she will agree without hesitation. This is the subordinate that can let Minglan use it with confidence.
