Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 12 I'm optimistic about you
After the discussion, Jiang Wanning and Aunt Cui walked in the garden.

The two begonias in the garden have lost their bloom, and the remaining flowers are falling in the wind.

There is no chrysanthemum in the Song Mansion, so this is the last flowery event in the Song Mansion.

Prosperity will also come to an end.

Jiang Wanning stretched out her hand to catch the falling petals, her snow-white palms reflecting the red color, like cinnabar in her palms.

"Aunt Cui, everything has been ordered, but the inner and outer courtyards each need a general manager. I can rest assured that the outer courtyard is led by Butler Zhong. This inner courtyard... I don't know much about the stewards, Aunt Cui. Who do you think is suitable?"

Aunt Cui thought for a while: "Yinuyi thinks that Aunt Liu is suitable. Firstly, she is an old man in the house and knows everyone from top to bottom. Secondly, she was in charge of the kitchen and procurement before, and later she was in charge of the warehouse and external affairs. Nothing went wrong.”

Jiang Wanning turned her palm downwards, and the flower in her palm fell: "Then let's do it, Aunt Liu!"

After parting ways with Aunt Cui, Jiang Wanning let out a long sigh.

"Why do you sigh?" Qing'e asked with concern.

"I somewhat regret agreeing to my mother-in-law to host the wedding ceremony."

"Why do you think that?"

"I have a lot of heart but not enough energy. I have been busy for a few days and my body is exhausted. I will only be busier in the future. I am afraid that I won't be able to hold on."

As she spoke, Jiang Wan Ning coughed a few times.

Qing'e said: "Why don't you invite Doctor Wu to come and take a look and prescribe some nourishing medicine?"

Jiang Wan Ning nodded: "It seems it's time to change the recipe."

Qing'e sent her lady back to the west courtyard and went to Chengxintang to ask for instructions.

As soon as Qing'e left, Jiang Wanning ordered someone to call Nanny Liu.

Aunt Liu rushed over quickly and stood respectfully in front of the eldest lady, waiting for her orders.

"Have all the gifts been given out?"

Aunt Liu put on a smile and said, "Go back to Madam, I have already given them away. Madam, you don't know that the housekeeper of the Li family is the most snobbish. When the eldest son of the Li family got married the year before last, Madam gave me five pieces of fine brocade. Pi, the steward has a nose, not a nose, nor an eye. Today, when he saw the jade Ruyi given by the eldest lady, his eyes widened. He also smiled and bowed to the slave, telling the eldest lady and the husband to go and have a drink... "

Jiang Wan Ning sighed slightly: "Mommy is good at running errands. I have something to discuss with you."

Aunt Liu looked stern: "Madam, just tell me."

"That's it. Originally, Aunt Cui was in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion. Now that Madam wants me to take over, Aunt Cui will concentrate on serving Madam. Therefore, now I need someone who is qualified, capable and responsible to take over Cui's place. Mammy.”

Grandma Liu's heartbeat suddenly stopped, no way!Does the eldest lady want to promote her to be the general manager of the inner courtyard?
Oh my God!Is she going to get lucky?
Aunt Liu suppressed her excitement and waited for the lady's next words.

"I see that both you and Grandma Wang meet the requirements..."

Grandma Liu's heart had reached her throat and she sank.

What does eldest lady mean?Does she need to show her loyalty?

Aunt Liu was thinking about how to show her loyalty when she heard the eldest lady say... "But I think you are more suitable."

"If the eldest lady appreciates you, I will do my best to serve you." Grandma Liu blurted out.

Jiang Wanning smiled and said: "Very good, I have already asked Aunt Cui for her opinion on this matter. Although... well... anyway, I am very optimistic about you. I hope you can speak up and don't let others think that I have a bad eye for people." ." This is very intriguing. What is omitted after "although"?Aunt Cui objects? "Don't let people think" this person must be referring to Aunt Cui.

Aunt Wang is indeed better at flattering than she is, and she is closer to Aunt Cui. If she chooses one between her and Aunt Wang, Aunt Cui will definitely choose Aunt Wang.

Thinking about this, Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel resentful. She and Aunt Cui were from the same hometown, and she was very filial in daily life. At the critical moment, Aunt Cui didn't pull her up and even stumbled her. Fortunately, the eldest lady He is an independent thinker.

"In a few days, I will announce this decision in front of everyone. I will not give you a monthly salary increase on the surface. I will subsidize you ten taels a month in private. Even if I don't become a householder in the future, these ten taels will still be indispensable. Yours, and besides, as long as nothing goes wrong at the birthday party, your 100 tael reward cannot escape."

Nanny Liu was so happy that she almost fainted. Not only did she get an extra ten taels of silver every month, she also got a reward of 100 taels.

At this moment, she prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless the eldest lady with a long life and that it would be best to remain in charge of the family.

Just when Grandma Liu was so moved that she didn't know why, Jiang Wanning changed the subject.

"However, let's talk ugly first. If one day or something makes me feel that you are not sincere in doing things for me, I will take back the benefits I promised you at any time. It depends on your choice."

Jiang Wan Ning looked at Nanny Liu with a smile.

Aunt Liu knelt down and said solemnly: "From now on, I will only listen to the eldest lady's orders, and I will never have any second thoughts."

Jiang Wanning picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "I am not in good health. From now on, Grandma Liu will have to worry more about the affairs of the inner courtyard. In particular, don't let people with ulterior motives harm Madam. birthday party."

"The eldest lady is worried..."

"There are always some people who don't want to see me lose face."

Aunt Liu seemed to understand, the eldest lady must be talking about that Lady Xu!Maybe there are people who are on Madam Xu's side, such as... Granny Cui.

When Grandma Cui returned to Chengxintang, she asked all the maids serving in the room to go out and closed the door.

When Song Yao saw this, he was thinking: "What are you doing?"

Aunt Cui said: "Madam, today the eldest lady summoned all the stewards to arrange errands. The eldest lady pays equal attention to kindness and power. Everyone is very motivated and obeys the eldest lady's orders."

"...Isn't this great?" Only when everyone works together can the birthday party go smoothly.

Grandma Cui was speechless for a moment. Is this okay?
"Madam, have you ever thought that if you let go so completely, if after this month, everyone only listens to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady has full wings, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Moreover, I see that her spirit is getting better and better."

After stopping the medicine, the eldest lady's condition improved.

"The key is the husband's attitude. I heard that the husband had dinner at her place the day before yesterday and even played chess with her."

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, Qing'e said. The day before yesterday, Lang Jun took a fancy to an inkstone in Hanmo Studio, but it was bought by Chen Family Qilang. Lang Jun was very unhappy. When the eldest lady found out, she went to find Chen Family Qilang and spent a lot of money. She bought the inkstone from Chen Qilang with twice the amount of money, and the way Lang Jun looked at her changed."

"In the past, she was sick and couldn't use any means. Now her condition has improved. She knows that Lang Jun likes Madam Xu. She is anxious. Any reconciliation is just talk. What she wants is Lang Jun's heart. ,even more."

"Her methods are so powerful. If the husband becomes intolerant of her, what will you do? What will Mrs. Xu do?"

Song Yao's heart was filled with turmoil. She originally planned to wait until the birthday banquet before letting Dr. Wu continue to administer the medicine. She claimed that Jiang Wanning was not in good health and insisted on organizing the birthday banquet for her. She overworked and made her condition worse. If you delay for another month or two, she will be completely eliminated.

She thought it would not matter if she only delegated power for a month, but now it seems that it is impossible not to take precautions.
