The big thing about being a princess

Chapter 14

The weather is okay, the sun is not too big, and there is a slight cool breeze.

More than a dozen selected second-class stewards and third-class stewards stood in the courtyard of Changchun Garden.Wen Jing asked someone to move the chairs under the porch, and the women peeped from a distance, only looking at the crown prince's empress, who was full of pearls and emeralds, and the bright red Kodan.

"I have been in the East Palace for a month now. There will be a banquet in the mansion in a few days, and there will be more things to do. Things in the backyard are not good and there is no regulation."

Nanny Fang stood slightly in front of her, her heart tightened when she listened, and her complexion became ugly.

Wen Jing asked in the backyard. She knew that it was normal for the mistress to ask about personnel affairs, and Nanny Fang couldn't stop her.Unexpectedly, looking at today's posture, it is going to change the blood of the backyard.

"Princess Concubine, the maidservant has always been in charge of the affairs in the backyard. If the Empress wants to ask, the servant girl will know best." Fang Momo stepped forward, her courtesy and attitude were fine, but Fang Momo was looking directly at Wen Jing .

The people in the yard immediately lowered their heads, for fear of being implicated.

Wen Jing smiled slightly, and without her signal, Zhuyun walked to the front in two steps: "Nurse Fang, the princess concubine is the main wife of His Royal Highness, and she is the mistress of the Prince's mansion that His Highness entrusted to her. Mama, don't forget your identity."

Her voice was not loud, but the servants in charge could hear everything clearly.

"Nurse is getting old. I have already asked my mother to let you go to Zhuangzi to be raised. I will leave in a while." Of course, Wen Jing didn't tell Queen Song about Nanny Fang. She managed the backyard. It needs anyone's permission, which is the right given to her by the crown princess and the wife of the prince.Even if Empress Song was held accountable, the evidence of Nanny Fang's actions would be there, and Wen Jing would not be afraid.

Nanny Fang thought she belonged to the empress, and had been in charge of the backyard of the Prince's Mansion for many years, so she didn't take Wen Jing seriously.

Now that the princess concubine actually said that she was going to be sent out, Nanny Fang was furious, and she didn't care about anything else, she said loudly: "Prince concubine, this servant belongs to the empress, you have no right to dispose of this servant."

Wen Jing tapped lightly on the armrest with her fingertips. She gave Nanny Fang a chance: "Zhuyue, read the accounts to Nanny Fang."

"In the 18th year of Kant, on the fourth day of October, the kitchen bought tribute rice from the south of the Yangtze River, in-season fruits and vegetables, [-] catties each of chicken, duck, goose meat and eggs. The total was fifty silver and ten guan. Mother Fang, am I right?"

Mother Fang's face turned blue. She thought that Wen Jing was just a girl from the general's mansion who didn't touch her fingers. She couldn't find out the problems of the accounts so quickly. She just had to make up the accounts later.

Now, she can't say a word for a long time.

"Nurse Fang, I think you have served the queen mother for many years, and you have done your best for the prince's mansion to save you a bit of face. What is your choice?" Wen Jing looked at Nanny Fang with coldness in her eyes.

If Nanny Fang just got some oil from it, Wen Jing wouldn't bother to touch her, at most she would be replaced from the oily affairs.

But Zhuyun Zhuyue did some research and found out that Nanny Fang used the money from the public account to honor Song Liangdi, and that Song Liangdi used the money from the public account to spend a lot of jewelry.In order to settle this account, Mother Fang changed the order of Tian Fengyi and others.Those who are favored and backed are naturally not afraid of Nanny Fang's deduction, but those who are not favored by Qu Chenghui, Luo Zhaoxun, Tian Fengyi, and concubines Li Shi and An Shi can't even get the rations they should be given.

Wen Jing understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. She can turn a blind eye even if she eats less oil and water, but she must kill the "chicken" that is Nanny Fang.

Nanny Fang's face turned from blue to white, and from white to blue.Suddenly, as if she was ten years old, she sighed in despair: "This servant is not mentally strong, and I am afraid that I am not qualified for the post of steward. I am willing to go to Zhuangzi to be honored and raised."

Wen Jing laughed and told Lan Tiao: "Go and help Nanny Fang pack her things, and then go to the account to get two more months of monthly silver for Nanny Fang."

Nanny Fang and Wen Jing thanked each other for their kindness, and the dumb man couldn't tell if he was suffering from Coptis chinensis.

Everyone looked at Nanny Fang leaving just like that, and felt dazed for a while, as the one and only manager in the prince's mansion just went on like this.

Madam Liu, who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was very happy. When the Crown Princess sent someone to contact her, she knew that such a day would come. After all these years, she would have a bright future.

Wen Jing picked up the teacup and moistened her throat. She saw Mammy Liu's flushed face: "Mammy Liu, you are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They say you have a real personality, and I believe you Answer. You can just stick to the regulations in the backyard, although the rules are dead and the regulations are fixed, but you can't be too rigid."

"Yes, this servant will definitely do her best to live up to the trust of the Crown Princess." This is an important job, and the Crown Princess can give it to her, which shows that she values ​​it.Nanny Liu even claimed yes, with a beaming smile on her face.

Wen Jing nodded, and picked another woman surnamed Zhang to be the second-class steward.Mrs. Zhang is very popular and tactful, and she and Madam Liu complement each other very well.

"Grandma Shi, you are older and know a lot. Before, I saw that you were considerate in everything, so I took care of personnel affairs. I still have a lot of things that I don't understand about human relations, so I ask Nanny Shi to advise me."

Nanny Shi raised her head in surprise, she turned out to be following Madam Fan in Guanlan Garden.Wen Jing was not familiar with the dealings of the Prince's Mansion, so she was asked to help her, and she did not expect to be a first-class steward.

"Okay, Mrs. Zhuang will be the second-class steward next to you. She has been the deputy before, so I won't change it." Wen Jing is also satisfied.

"As for the purchase, Aunt Yinqiao, I will let you do it for a period of time, and let Zhuyue beside me help you for a month. If you do well, you will be in charge of the purchase in the future, and then choose a second-class steward yourself."

In fact, this purchase should be entrusted to someone who is extremely trustworthy, but there are really not enough people around Wen Jing. She had to choose from thousands of options, and after careful inquiry several times, she chose Yinqiao.

Yinqiao was only a third-class steward before, but in her 30s, she was serious in doing things without talking, and her servants had a good reputation.

Wen Jing inquired about some of the things she had done before, and felt that Yinqiao was available, so let's try it first.

Changing from a third-class steward to a first-class steward, and with such an important task of purchasing, Yinqiao's hands trembled a little with excitement, and her face was firmly fixed: "Yes, my servant, thank you for the trust of the princess and concubine, and I will never let you down."

The key to the warehouse in the backyard is placed with Wen Jing, and the management is temporarily handed over to Mrs. Wu.She was a bookkeeper before, and she has a flexible mind.

The chores were arranged by an aunt in charge named Zhu Yan, who was also brought up by Wen Jing, but there was not much money to be made in the chores, and most of the eyes of the people were still on Yinqiao.

"Most of you are from the province of internal servants, and your vacation and monthly payment will be the same as before, but..." Wen Jing paused.

"If you make a mistake, find out, no matter whether it is the nanny in charge or the people below, you don't have to come to me to beg for forgiveness, and you will send it directly to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Zhengsi." Wen Jing put down the teacup in her hand and let out a soft sound.

The stewards who were a little excited just now were all stunned.

"However, if you do a good job, you will be rewarded." Wen Jing said slowly, with a calm tone, "I am easy to talk, and I don't ask you to be loyal. You only need to perform your duties and do your job well. "

The people below all responded one after another, saying some dare not, loyal words.

"That's it. In the next month, I also want to see everyone's ability. At the end of the month, I want to see the account books of various places." Wen Jing got up, supported Lan Tiao's hand and went back to the room.
