Cousin Chitose Chitose

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Jiang Yuanwan also knew that if she said these words, she would definitely offend many people.

But there is no way, housekeeping is an offending job, since she took over this job, she must do it well.

"Miss Biao is so obedient to the rules and doesn't know how to change things. This is not good. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Madam acted in a relaxed manner, flexible and calm when they were housekeepers. How did they get into Miss Biao's hands..." Someone shook his head without saying much. He sighed again and again, as if he was very disappointed.

Jiang Yuanwan sneered: "Since Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Madam, who are the head housekeepers, have established a routine, they naturally have their reasons. It is unwise to change rashly. Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Madam have been housekeepers for many years and have rich experience. I don't think I dare to compare with them , but it is still possible to learn from them.”

"Of course, as you said, special circumstances should be treated specially. But what you said just now, is it a special situation? If I really grant all of your requests, I'm afraid no matter how much money is on the account, it won't be enough to spend! "

"Miss Biao is worrying too much. The family is rich and powerful, and they are about to show their differences in details. We are a majestic mansion, so we can't be too petty..."

Jiang Yuanwan saw that she had already caught the handle of these stewards, and these stewards were still entangled, a sense of disobedience suddenly rose in her heart.

"You are rich and powerful, and I didn't ask you to throw it into the water! Do you think I don't know how much you have falsely reported? Pork is thirty yuan a catty, and you actually quoted it at three hundred yuan a catty! And sugar, it is clearly one hundred For a catty of Wen, you actually reported it as a tael of silver... Even if the daily necessities are like this, you have falsely reported several times on those jewelry and expensive cloth! The wife and aunt trust you so much that they let you manage these tasks, you Can this move be worthy of their trust?"

Jiang Yuanwan is very familiar with prices, from daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, to jewelry and fabrics, she knows the value.

When Jiang Yuanwan was in the East Palace, the Crown Princess was unwilling to train her into a golden branch and jade leaf who did not know the world, and she guided her a lot in her free time. She knew that many of the jewels she got were expensive for ordinary people, so they exchanged them for silver It was enough for them to spend a lifetime; later, the East Palace encountered a catastrophe, and she was sent to a poor nunnery by the prince and princess. When she was often responsible for purchasing, it was naturally impossible not to know the prices of daily necessities.

The stewards were amazed by this. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Yuanwan saw satisfaction in their eyes, and her complexion suddenly became strange.Before she had time to think about it, she listened to the stewards and said: "Miss Biao just rejected our idea, so I don't know, what do you think about those who didn't reject it?"

Those who have not been rejected are naturally reasonable.However, you can't just believe what the people say, you have to do a little research.If it is unreasonable, it needs to be rectified.

The management of the account room is the most rigorous job, and at the same time, it is the least rigorous job.

You must keep one eye open and close one eye, and leave some oil and water for the servants in the mansion, but you must not let the servants be too greedy and leave the mansion empty. Set a bottom line for people.

Mother Hu didn't teach Jiang Yuanwan these things, they were all realized by Jiang Yuanwan herself.Although Mama Hu taught Jiang Yuanwan patiently, she couldn't be as dedicated to Jiang Yuanwan as she was to Wei Jinxuan, which is also human nature.

After Jiang Yuanwan shared her thoughts with the stewards, the steward in charge seemed more and more satisfied: "Miss Biao really has a keen mind, no wonder Missy and Mother Hu praised you very much. In time, you will be able to truly share the worries of Mrs. Tai Solve the problem."

Fang Pei was a little confused listening, but Fang Zhi seemed to have noticed something, and looked at the person in front of him in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"The villain is just ordered by Mrs. Tai to inspect Miss Biao." Steward Lu smiled all over his face, completely gone from the confrontation with Jiang Yuanwan just now.

Jiang Yuanwan said: "It turns out that this is what Mrs. Tai said about the inspection. It really is ingenious. I originally thought that Mrs. Tai would call us sisters to come and inspect it face to face."

This so-called investigation was too sudden, and people couldn't react at all.

Guan Lu said: "It is precisely by observing without knowing it that we can see the adaptability of the ladies."

"Is it the same for the investigations of other sisters?"

"Naturally, Mrs. Tai's investigation is fair and just."

Later, Jiang Yuanwan knew that Wei Jinxuan had been reminded by Hu's mother in advance. Overall, her performance was not good, but there were some bright spots; Wei Jinshu also got some news in advance. She was originally better than Wei Jinxuan. Some, of course, will only perform better than Wei Jinxuan.However, Wei Jinshu and Wei Jinxuan relied on their identities, so when dealing with problems, they would inevitably have a bit of condescending arrogance, which was not as safe as Jiang Yuanwan.

As for the unlucky Wei Jinyi... Originally, the second wife had already said that she was not allowed to interfere in the housekeeper's affairs. In a fit of anger, she and her mother, the third wife, went to the Tai Madam. The Tai Madam was quite impatient, but she still said she would give Wei Jin Take a chance.

Wei Jinyi rolled up his sleeves, ready to slap the second wife and Wei Jinshu in the face, but for some reason, the people around him tripped her up everywhere!Wei Jinyi felt resentful, and decided that these people were bribed by the second wife to target her, so she was busy pissing off these people every day, trying to find their fault and remove them all and replace her with her own.

Within a few days, the examiner sent by Mrs. Tai left a comment of "Miss San is short-sighted and lacks ability, so it is difficult to share the burden of housekeeping".

When Mrs. Tai called Jiang Yuanwan and the other four to her, it was only natural that Jiang Yuanwan was rated as "upper", Wei Jinxuan and Wei Jinshu were rated as "upper middle", and Dudu Wei Jinyi was rated as "lower".

"Since you are not capable enough, it's better not to be a housekeeper, so as not to have to deal with right and wrong." Mrs. Tai said that she completely deprived Wei Jinyi of her right to be a housekeeper.

Wei Jinyi's face was full of panic: "Grandmother, please give me another chance. I didn't know those people were examiners. The second aunt has been targeting me all the time these days. I thought..."

"Every one of you, I have given the same opportunity. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends entirely on you. Earlier, the second family told me that you did not handle the matter properly, and you should take back your housekeeping power. I asked her to give you another chance, depending on your assessment results. In the end, if you couldn't seize the opportunity by yourself, what else can you say?" Mrs. Tai said indifferently.

If it is said that Mrs. Tai loves Wei Jinxuan because she raised her with her own hands, and her granddaughter Wei Jinshu was also raised by Mrs. Tai, then what does Wei Jinyi have?She doesn't even have a blood relationship with Mrs. Tai, so why should Mrs. Tai give her an extra chance?

Seeing the scene in front of her, Jiang Yuanwan was secretly vigilant, and became more attentive to the housekeeper's affairs.

Wei Jinyi is a lesson for her. She finally got the chance to be a housekeeper, but if she doesn't perform well, she will lose it at any time.Seriously, the relationship between her and Mrs. Tai is not as good as that of Wei Jinyi!

……

Although the housekeeper's pressure was not small, it also brought Jiang Yuanwan a lot of convenience, for example, inquiring about news outside the house.

In the past, Jiang Yuanwan could only inquire about the gossip in the mansion, to know who was scheming whom, and who was making small moves, but since she took over the purchase of this product, it has become much easier for the people around her to leave the mansion.

As a small expert in intelligence, Liu Yun naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.She is only a third-class maid, but she can always take the errands of going out of the house to herself, and then take this opportunity to inquire about many things in Beijing.

When Jiang Yuanwan learned from Liu Yun that there have been major changes in the court recently, that a certain Lord was imprisoned for corruption, and that a certain Lord was impeached for negligence, she knew that it was probably the emperor and the queen mother who started fighting .

The little emperor is working hard to subdue the ministers in the court and get rid of the confidants of the Empress Dowager Liu. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Liu is also doing the same thing.

The sacking of a minister in the court is not a secret. For the common people, the high-ranking officials who got rid of a big corrupt official will only make them applaud and wish to share this good news with more people. Therefore, Liu Yun went to inquire about the news , without arousing any suspicion.

Liu Yun's move also proved to Jiang Yuanwan her ability to collect intelligence.

"Letting you be a third-class maid will bury you."

"The status of the third-class maid is very convenient now, no one will notice the slave, and it is only natural for the big maids to order the slave to do these errands."

"After a while, I will promote you as a second-class maid."

Jiang Yuanwan began to think that if Liu Yun could be trusted, she could definitely ask her to do more things, such as collecting as much information as possible, and even establishing an intelligence network in the capital.

However, Liu Yun was able to stay peacefully in the position of the third-class maid, without arrogance or impetuosity, which shows that she has a lot of plans.Regarding Liu Yun's character, Jiang Yuanwan had to observe for a while longer.

"Second-class maid? As far as I know, the four places for second-class maids are still full, so who is Miss going to replace?"

"Naturally, those who are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han."

Jiang Yuanwan thought of the maids who were still perfunctory after being beaten, her eyes were slightly cold.She has already given a chance, since she is obsessed with it, then don't blame her!

Half a day later, a second-class maid and three third-class maids knelt in front of Jiang Yuanwan, begging bitterly: "I don't know what mistakes the slaves have made, Miss Biao wants to drive them away. The slaves have been serving Miss Biao for several years. , there is hard work without credit, please don't drive the servants away!"

"If what you call hard work without credit is to inform the second aunt, third aunt and fourth sister, then you really have worked hard."

Jiang Yuanwan threw the collected evidence in front of them: "Let's see for yourself."

"I said before that the most important thing for a maid is to be loyal to her master. If you can't even do this, what use will I have you for!"

Jiang Yuanwan didn't touch the person sent by Mrs. Tai. She knew that Mrs. Tai needed to know her movements. If this way of fighting was gone, Mrs. Tai would definitely send another person here immediately, and the person sent by Mrs. Tai was still considered a To be honest, Jiang Yuanwan could bear it without doing anything out of the ordinary.As for the people sent by the other women in the back house, she doesn't plan to keep any of them!

"Biao...Miss Biao..."

"Should I go back to your master by myself, or wait for me to send you back? If I send you back, they must not look good."

If it is said that Madam Tai and Madam Changning Hou put people around Jiang Yuanwan, it can also be said that they sent people to take care of the younger generation, then the second wife, third wife and Wei Jinshan put people next to the cousin/cousin, this hand is too stretched long!
