The next day, Xie Xian slept until noon, and Qingdai was waiting at the door early. Behind her followed a woman with a face as white as a silver plate, wearing a coat with gold ingots on the edges. When she saw Xie Xian, she smiled and bowed: "Greetings, my lady. I think you are very tired on the way. I should have come late today because I was impatient, but the clan told me that it is not appropriate for you to be alone with Qingdai. So they asked me to prepare everyone, please choose." The words were spoken quickly and urgently. Xie Xian perked up and only heard the key points, choosing servants.

So where are the people? I should not have prepared a long list of people. Glancing behind the fat woman, there was no one except Qingdai, and Xie Xian frowned.

The three of them were silent for almost half a cup of tea. The maid rolled her eyes again and again before she said hesitantly, "Look at my memory. They are waiting outside the yard. Outsiders cannot enter the yard easily. It's not a place for a little maid to walk around." She raised her head and took a quick glance.

"If you can't wait, please follow me outside the yard to choose one!" After saying this, he lowered his head and acted as if he had no choice.

Xie Xian yawned. She was forced to work before she had enough sleep. This was the result. Is the legendary house fight starting now? But it's so boring.

She glanced at Qingdai, "Outer courtyard?" If she remembered correctly, the inkstone pool was the outer courtyard. She still remembered that when she came yesterday, Qingdai complained that her wife could only live in the outer courtyard. It was not easy to go out. The outer courtyard was where men came and went, and it was close to the study hall and the literary hall. Yesterday, Lu also said that she wanted to reopen a small door, but the order was ignored. She didn't know which uncle had asked for help, and she couldn't insist. After all, she was not a direct elder of Xie Xian, and it was not legitimate.

So Xie Xian, the agent of Xie's Second Security Company, had a dispute with Xie's Group Head Office on the first day over the division of responsibilities. So as a social animal, on the first day at work, you should learn about the employee handbook, the group structure, welfare benefits, ahem... well, you are just a temporary replacement, don't think too much.

Well, I'd better read the rules first. I listened to Qingdai reading the clan rules, but it was disappointing that I expected that there would be clear division of responsibility areas. All I saw was courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame.

Xie Xian asked, "And then?" She didn't hear a single key word from beginning to end. She only roughly understood that the power of the eldest son was unlimited and all aspects could be considered.

Seeing the two people in front of him looking confused, Xie Xian paused and asked again, "How did Zongzi arrange it?"

"The eldest son has only one servant, and most of them are the nephews of the head of the family. The number of soldiers does not exceed two hands." It's good for parents to give you a servant!

The fat woman read out, "The young lady has four maids and several rough women." Seeing Xie Xian's frown, she added, "The soldiers want the master to use them."

Xie Xian stretched and nodded, "Then I will have four maids, one servant, a number of women, and a number of soldiers." Not bad, I like it.

Ignoring the two people's wide eyes, Xie Xian nodded with satisfaction, thinking she understood everything. Then she asked the most crucial question: "Who will pay for their monthly salary?"

I have never met such a direct young lady. The fat woman replied with difficulty: "It is up to each family to be responsible. If you want to sign a body contract, you just need to pay a sum of money to the Big Dang Miscellaneous Affairs Office." Oh, and there is an applicable period. This Xie's Big Dang sounds like a labor dispatch service, wow.

"Hey, this~~~this..." The fat woman seemed to suddenly remember that this was not right. She had clearly said to choose one out of two, but how come it became one plus one when it came to the young lady? She thought about her words carefully and there was nothing wrong with them!

Looking up at Xie Xian's indifferent expression, she lowered her head in silence, gritting her teeth in her heart. That old lock was really a worthless thing. I shouldn't have taken the lead in the matter in my hands yesterday. Now I am left hanging on the pole, neither up nor down. As expected, none of the bosses are easy to deal with. The red bean buns that I have loved to eat for many years are hurting my teeth.

He turned around and glared at Qingdai fiercely. This old guy really knows how to climb up the social ladder.

Qingdai looked confused after being glared at, completely unaware that it was her own father's fault.

"Transfer Xie Miao's contract to me and give her a maid position first." Xie Miao seemed to be able to do this job. Most of his money and property were spent on the ox cart, and he also had some small items he often used. If he couldn't afford to hire someone, he could just leave them there. As for whether the courtyard needed people, it depended on their abilities.

Xie Xian tilted her head and smiled softly, "The rest is not urgent."

Qingdai sent the person out as ordered, wondering why the lady from the outer courtyard did not refute what she had just boasted about.

"Miss Qingdai, how long have you been with the lady?" The chubby-faced aunt squinted her eyes and smiled, handing over a handful of peanuts. "I don't have much good food at my place, so I'm not short of food. Come over often if you want to eat."

Qingdai pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, auntie. I've only been with my wife for a month. Any longer would be a big deal." I just started my job and don't have much status. "Auntie is my wife's first customer in the courtyard. I'm afraid she must be very happy. I need you to take care of her more in the future."

The fat woman's complexion looked better. She had finally walked out of the shadow of the rogue second wife's ruler. She sent people out of the courtyard and saw that there were indeed a dozen people neatly lined up in the outer courtyard, both men and women, all of whom looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. They just stood there quietly without looking around. They looked like they had been well trained. Qingdai and the fat woman sighed in unison and smiled at each other.

Seeing the fat aunt leading people away in a very imposing manner, Qingdai slowly closed the gate. When she turned around, she saw Magu standing behind her. She immediately said respectfully, "Magu."

"What did your wife say?" the woman in black asked expressionlessly.

"My lady only wanted Xie Miao and didn't say anything else." Qingdai didn't explain who Xie Miao was. Maybe Magu knew him better than her.

It was hard to say the rest. Thinking about how Xie Xian always did unexpected things, Qingdai couldn't bring herself to say anything, so she kept silent.

Magu forced a stiff smile on her face and nodded with satisfaction. "The black clothes of the inkstone washing pool are only handled by an old woman, so your wife will have to wait for a while." She has occupied this position for decades. If she doesn't take charge of this job now, she doesn't know what to do. That girl is hard-hearted, and I don't know if she will accept it.

"Qingdai knows that she has limited talent and would never dare to dream of it." He was joking. It was true that Xuan Shi referred to the servant beside the prince of the clan, but after the prince of the clan became powerful, he would either become the manager of the courtyard or a more powerful person like a secretary or a counselor, in charge of the affairs of the master's family.

With her ability, it was a bit of a stretch for her to be a maid of the young master, not to mention the mysterious servant who had to take care of the private affairs of the prince. Moreover, in just these two months, in her opinion, her own queen was quite unorthodox in her behavior, and she kept everything to herself. Even Sister Zhen and my wife didn't understand it.

Normal noble ladies respect and rely on female warriors.

Qingdai thought so at first, but she saw that Zhenjie showed a kind of fear and unparalleled trust in her wife. This puzzled her. She especially remembered Tu Zhen saying to her: "Lady, you are very lonely." The words were like pearls and jade, but it was difficult to understand their true meaning. There are hills and valleys in my heart, but I don't want to show them to others easily. Even if I have thousands of wisdom and talents, they are like spring water flowing eastward, leaving no trace.

What virtue did he have to take the risk of being abandoned by his father and stay with his wife? Even she herself didn't know why, it was as if she was possessed by a poison.
