The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 315 The First Problem ([-])
Before entering the house today, looking at the neat welcome teams on both sides of the house, Su Yunduo thought that the servants in this house had formed a system, but now it seems that they are still scattered, this may be the test of Mrs. Lu to them.

Thinking that his family just arrived today, Su Yunduo felt that the matter of downsizing should be put aside for now, and he will make a decision after gradually understanding the situation.

The meal is imminent. None of their family is a wasteful person. Otherwise, everyone would not be so full today. Of course, the taste of the dishes is also a reason.

Therefore, Su Yunduo didn't want to see twenty or thirty kinds of breakfast for his family of six at breakfast tomorrow.

Before Su Yunduo and Su Chengzhi came to the study, the family had already reached an agreement on the specifications of the meals, so the communication with Butler Chen was very smooth, but the standard of each meal was clarified within a quarter of an hour.

Breakfast is mainly pasta. Noodles, dumplings, and steamed buns are all available. You can also prepare white porridge. You can prepare three to five dishes for each meal. For lunch and dinner, two dishes per person are standard, with a combination of meat and vegetables, plus a soup .

Su Chengzhi only occasionally added a sentence or two, and Steward Chen understood that the Su family was indeed headed by the young lady in front of him as his wife said in the letter.

After negotiating with Steward Chen about the kitchen, Su Yunduo called Zhang Pingan aside, asked Zhang Pingan again carefully, and confirmed that he really wanted to sell himself, and then handed over the contract of selling Zhang Pingan signed in Geshan Village to Steward Chen, instruct Steward Chen to take the time to go to the government to register and file.

As a newcomer, it was not easy to arrange specific errands for Zhang Pingan, so he had to stay with Steward Chen for a while and talk about it later.

After arranging for Zhang Ping'an, Su Yunduo asked them to retreat.

When there were only father and daughter left in the study, Su Chengzhi asked Su Yunduo in a puzzled way: "Why didn't you tell Butler Chen directly that we don't need so many house slaves."

"As soon as Steward Chen opened his mouth, he pointed out that the servants in this house were all carefully selected by the grandmother, and the elders can't deny it." Su Yunduo only said this sentence.

In fact, this is only one aspect of it. After Su Yunduo looked at the roster just now, he suddenly felt that such a configuration does not seem to be too much.

This is not Geshan Village. Su Chengzhi is an official anyway, so there are naturally housekeepers. It seems that there are not many housekeepers in a house with two housekeepers.

This is a three-entry house, and there are not too many rough maids and women.

Two housekeepers are even more indispensable.

The two younger brothers are going to school to study, and there must be servants around them.

Su Zerui is still young, so he doesn't need a servant for the time being, but he needs a nanny.

Ning always has two big maids and a mother-in-law by her side.

Su Yunduo has a lot of things to do by herself, it was fine in Geshan Village before, when she arrived in the capital, she can no longer do some things by herself, she has to rely on the maids around her, so Zisu and Baizhi are definitely not enough.

……

Looking at the past and calculating everything, it seems that if the house is to function normally, it seems that not only the number of slaves cannot be reduced, but the number of slaves needs to be increased.

This was at odds with her previous feeling, so Su Yunduo temporarily decided not to discuss the number of servants, she had to look again and think again, and make plans after she sorted out the clues.

Madam Kong taught Su Yunduo how to manage the house, and when she was in Geshan Village, she also paid attention to the allocation of servants in Shenquan Villa.

Shenquan Villa is also a courtyard with three entrances, and there are only seventeen or eight servants in total, but they also take care of Shenquan Villa in a clean and tidy manner, and take good care of the old doctor and his wife.

It's just that this is the capital city, and the number of family members is three times larger than that of Dr. Kong and his wife. Naturally, the number of servants cannot be only seventeen or eight, but it has doubled all of a sudden, and Su Yunduo feels that it is still a bit too many.

It's just that Su Yunduo has no actual experience in this area, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the capital, so he can only watch it for a few days before talking.

Or wait to meet old lady Lu and learn from her before making a decision.

I don't know when I will see the titular grandmother, Su Yunduo is very looking forward to it.

For this problem of layoffs, Su Yunduo naturally has to think again and again, and be cautious.

It is necessary to take into account the mood of Mrs. Lu, who gave these servants, and the mood of Ning, who has a similar mood as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Temple. It must also be in line with the actual situation in the capital and Su Chengzhi's status. A very learned thing.

There was nothing to say all night, and the breakfast on the second day included thick porridge, soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, custard dumplings, and of course two side dishes.

Su Yunduo secretly praised Chen Butler's work efficiency in his heart.

The family happily ate breakfast, Su Zechen couldn't sit still, and begged Su Chengzhi to take everyone out to see the scenery of the capital.

Su Yunduo looked outside and the sun had risen, although he didn't object directly, he still shook his head.

She didn't want to go out on this hot day.

Now that Su Chengzhi has set up an errand, even if there is no such thing as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan, their family will live in the capital forever, so why rush? !

Besides, she had to sort out the family affairs as soon as possible, and only after clearing up the family affairs could she free herself to start her big money-making plan.

After a night of precipitation, Su Yunduo already has a rough adjustment direction for the servants of this house, and of course needs to discuss with Ning to perfect it.

Ning's body has not fully recovered from an illness on the way. She wanted to use the leisure time before recognizing her ancestors and returning to her clan to rest and recuperate, so she was the first to raise objections.

Su Chengzhi wanted to take everyone out for a walk. After all, he would have to go to the Imperial College as an errand in a few days. Once he joined the job, he would only have one day off every ten days. We must recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors.

After the ancestors have returned to the clan, the rules in the Su clan are strict, and it will be even more difficult for the Ning clan and Su Yunduo to go out.

Ning objected, so Su Chengzhi had no choice but to quickly dispel the idea of ​​taking everyone out, and tried his best to dispel Su Zechen's idea of ​​going out, but Su Zechen who wanted to go out was not so easy to persuade.

In the end, it was Su Yunduo who gave a suggestion: "Father, didn't you choose two schools for Brother Xuan and Brother Chen? Why don't you take them to the school today and decide the school earlier so as not to miss their homework?" .”

Su Chengzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and Su Zexuan was also very happy, while Su Zechen, who was determined to go out, would be happy as long as he could go out.

Su Yunduo hurriedly ordered to go down to prepare the car and prepare the ice basin.

Seeing that Ning Shi and Su Yunduo had no plans to go out, Su Chengzhi pondered for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go and have a look together?"

Ning was a little moved, but Su Yunduo shook her head: "I want to make arrangements for the family earlier. If mother wants to go, just go and see."

As soon as Ning Shi heard what Su Yunduo said, she immediately gave up her plan to go out.

The arrangement of the family was supposed to be a matter for her as the mistress, but Su Yunduo took over the family affairs in order to take care of her, but she couldn't really take care of everything.

Su Chengzhi came back from the study last night and told her that the servants in the house were all selected by the old lady herself. It broke the harmony with the aunt.
