Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

After finishing her business, Yi Ya asked Bai Zhu to go to the West Courtyard to tell Li Gege and Song Gege that she had something important to tell them. Bai Zhu was a capable maidservant beside Yi Ya, who was efficient and trusted by Yi Ya. After receiving the order, Bai Zhu quickly went to the West Courtyard and found Li Gege and Song Gege who were busy.

"I pay my respects to Li Gege. Fu Jin has something to do, so she asked Li Gege to go to the main courtyard."

"Got it. You go and report to the lady, I'll go right away." Although Li Gege was confused, since the lady had invited her, she quickly packed up and went to the main courtyard.

After Li Gege finished speaking, Bai Zhu went to Song Gege's room again.

"I pay my respects to Li Gege. Fu Jin has something to do, so she asked Li Gege to go to the main courtyard."

"Did the lady say what it was about?" Song Gege asked puzzledly, trying to get some information out of Bai Zhu.

"This servant is not too clear about this either, Song Gege, you should go over quickly!"

"Got it, I'll be there right away"

Li Gege and Song Gege walked towards the main courtyard, and soon they met in front of the gate of the main courtyard.

"Sister Li, do you know why the lady asked us to come here?" When Song Gege saw Li, she asked her hurriedly, hoping to get some information from her.

"You don't know, so how would I know? Who cares what he does? We just need to listen to Madam Fu Jin's instructions." Li couldn't stand Song's cautious look and retorted.

When Bai Zhu saw the two men arrive, he quickly invited them into the main courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, they saw Yi Ya sitting in the main seat, and they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings to Madam Madam. I wonder why Madam Madam called us here?" Li Gege spoke first.

Seeing the two of them coming, Yi Ya spoke slowly, "I have just recovered from a serious illness, and many things in the mansion are too exhausting. I think you two are also the elders of the mansion, so I invite you two to come and manage the affairs of the mansion together."

This was something Yi Ya had thought of a long time ago. After living a new life, Yi Ya no longer wanted to waste her energy on these trivial matters.

"Yes, the two of us will definitely take good care of the affairs of the mansion for Mrs. Fu." After hearing this, Li Gege and Song Gege both expressed their willingness to take on more responsibilities and do their part for the affairs of the mansion.

Seeing the two agreed, Yi Ya nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke. "We can't let you two do it all, after all, I still need someone to take care of me." Yi Ya said, using the Fourth Prince as an excuse.

"Gege Li will be in charge of the food procurement for the kitchen first! Gege Song will be in charge of the financial management of the mansion, including the record keeping and expenditure approval."

After thinking for a while, Yi Ya said, "From now on, you two can come to the main courtyard to report once a month, and then you two can switch positions every three months."

When Li Gege heard that Fu Jin was using them as tools, she was immediately dissatisfied and quickly said, "Fu Jin!"

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with something? If so, then don't do it. Leave it all to Princess Song!" Yi Ya said lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Li.

"Nothing, nothing." Seeing Fu Jin like this, Li didn't dare to say anything more. After all, something is better than nothing.

"Since you are alright, then go ahead! You two can think about what to do when you return."

"Yes," Li Gege and Song Gege answered in unison.

After Li Gege and Song Gege left, they were in completely different moods. Li Gege was a little unhappy, she felt that Yi Ya treated them as subordinates, made them undertake heavy work, and also prevented them from cultivating their own power.

So, I couldn't help but complain: "What does Fu Jin mean by this? Are we her subordinates? She makes us work so hard and is on guard against us, fearing that we will train our own people."

"No matter what, Mrs. Fu is doing this for our own good." Song didn't dare to be like Li Gege and just said it lightly.

Seeing Song's useless appearance, Li Gege had nothing to say, so she said goodbye to Song and returned to her room.

In fact, for Song Gege herself, she felt that being able to participate in the management of the mansion was already a happy thing.

She knew that her position in the mansion was not prominent before, and it was a rare opportunity for her to gain Yi Ya's trust and take on the responsibility of financial management in the mansion. She was determined to do her best to do this job well, so as to prove her worth to Fu Jin.

After the two princesses left, Nanny Wang couldn't help but express her concerns to Yi Ya. She thought that Yi Ya's arrangement might cause conflict between Li Gege and Song Gege, after all, the two were already in a competitive relationship. Nanny Wang also worried that if the two princesses accumulated too much power within their respective responsibilities, it might pose a threat to Yi Ya's position in the future.

Yi Ya smiled after hearing this and said to Nanny Wang, "Nanny, I understand your worries. But you have to believe that I made this arrangement for my own considerations. First of all, Li Gege and Song Gege each have their own strengths. Letting them be responsible for the kitchen and financial management respectively can allow them to give full play to their strengths and better manage the affairs of the mansion. Secondly, rotating responsibilities every three months can prevent them from accumulating too much power in a certain area, and can also allow them to supervise each other to avoid problems. As for the competitive relationship between them, I believe they are all smart people and will know how to deal with it. Moreover, I will always pay attention to their movements to ensure the stability of the mansion."

After listening to Yi Ya's explanation, Nanny Wang's worries were slightly relieved. But she still couldn't help but remind Yi Ya: "Fu Jin, you must always be vigilant and don't put yourself in a passive situation." Yi Ya nodded and said she would pay attention.

"Mammy, call everyone in the main courtyard together later. I have something to say."

"Yes, Madam, I will do it right away."

……

After a while, the servants gathered in the main courtyard.

Yi Ya sat on the armchair in the center of the main courtyard, looking solemn and majestic. The sunlight shone through the delicate window lattices and sprinkled on her gorgeous clothes, forming mottled light and shadows. She looked around, her eyes were deep and bright, as if she could see through everyone's mind.

"I wonder what's the matter, Madam, in calling us here?" the people below were whispering.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."

"In a few days, the Ulanala Mansion may send two people." She spoke slowly, breaking the silence around them.

"If the person who comes is older, like Nanny Wang, she can serve as the head nanny. Nanny Wang has always done a good job, and I believe the new one will be as good as her. The new one will only need to take care of my health and diet."

As she said this, she turned to the other side and her eyes fell on Bai Zhi: "If it is a young person who comes, then I will let her be a second-class maid like Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi, like Bai Zhu, is from the Nara Mansion and is her own dowry maid. But Bai Zhu is more stable, so she is her own maid.

She paused, her eyes swept over everyone's faces again, and then continued: "Bai Zhi, you are an elder in the mansion, you will be the one to lead the newcomers. Teach them the rules of the mansion and let them get familiar with the rules and customs here as soon as possible."

Bai Zhi immediately stood up and answered happily, "Yes, Fu Jin, I will definitely teach you well."

Yi Ya nodded, looked at Bai Zhi with satisfaction, and then turned to the others: "Yuan Bao, you are responsible for the affairs of the outer courtyard. If the newcomers need anything, you must also make timely arrangements."

The young eunuch Yuanbao quickly responded, "Yes, Fujin, I will definitely take good care of them."

Yi Ya then withdrew her gaze with satisfaction. Seeing that her arrangements had been made, Yi Ya let them go.
