Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 18 Shameless
After Mammy Liu settled the newcomers, she went to see Mammy Cui for business.

Things that need to be dealt with need to be dealt with.

The two of them were talking at the entrance of Chengxintang.

"Is everyone picked?"

"After the selection was made, the eldest lady did not interfere in the whole process. I brought the person over to show her. She chose a maid who can make snacks to stay, and let me arrange the rest."

"These people all arrange some unimportant tasks, and they need their own people for the important tasks."

"Yes." Grandma Liu responded.

In her heart, she didn't take what Aunt Cui said seriously. She just listened to Aunt Cui's instructions casually. It was the eldest lady's instructions that mattered. Whoever gave the money was the master.

Don't blame her for having breasts and being a mother. Look at the stewards of any respectable family in Jiangcheng. They are better nourished and more beautiful than her. Only the Song family has all the benefits taken away by Grandma Cui.

Just as he was talking, Grandma Wang came.

Seeing the two people muttering there, Grandma Wang rolled her eyes and stepped forward with a smile: "Mother Cui, Grandma Liu."

Aunt Cui's expression was indifferent. Aunt Wang had been running around the West Courtyard too frequently recently, and her previous efforts to fawn over her went to the one in the West Courtyard.

Aunt Liu also had a cold face. After the eldest lady announced that she would be the manager of the inner courtyard yesterday, Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at her.In just one day, several people had already told her that Grandma Wang was gossiping about her behind her back.

"Is there something wrong with Grandma Wang?" Grandma Cui asked.

Grandma Wang smiled and said: "It's a small matter. Cui Wei, who is with Aunt Wei, came to me and said that Aunt Wei was not feeling well and wanted to see a doctor. I'll ask Madam for advice."

Aunt Cui frowned: "We need to hire a doctor again? Does it cost nothing to hire a doctor? How much money is spent on her medicine in a year? She is the most valuable person in the whole family."

Grandma Wang laughed in her heart, she was so shameless, she just started telling lies.

The last time Aunt Wei asked a doctor was the year before last. Over the years, Aunt Wei had earned money for her medicines by doing needlework, and she didn't dare to ask Madam for it.

"I see Cuiwei is so worried that she almost cried. Aunt Wei must be seriously ill. You said that the lady's birthday party is coming soon. If something bad happens, wouldn't it bring bad luck to the lady? "

These words hit the nail on the head, and Aunt Cui said: "Wait a moment, I'll ask Madam."

Aunt Liu said hurriedly: "I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

She didn't want to stay with Grandma Wang and dislike each other.

Grandma Wang didn't take it seriously and wanted to leave without seeing her off.

Grandma Wang waited for a moment, then Grandma Cui turned back: "Doctor Wu will come to take Madam Madam's pulse tomorrow, and then let Dr Wu diagnose and treat Aunt Wei."

"Mother Cui, I'm afraid Doctor Wu is not suitable."

Aunt Cui raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"The painful part of Aunt Wei... it's not convenient for men to look at it."

Grandma Wang pointed to her left chest.

Aunt Cui is in trouble, this...is really inappropriate.

"How about asking the female doctor from Sanxitang?" Grandma Wang suggested.

Aunt Cui also knew that the female doctor had a bad reputation for killing people, but Aunt Wei was not an important person, so it would be nice to hire a doctor for her.

"Just her!"

Grandma Wang smiled and reached out to Grandma Cui.

Aunt Cui was stunned.

"The medical fee, you can't ask me to pay for it!"

Aunt Cui is depressed. Ever since Aunt Wang fawned over the eldest lady, she has completely ignored her. How could Aunt Wang have dared to talk to her like this before.

"Who is in charge of the house now?"

"Big lady!"

"Then ask Madam where you want to go." Aunt Cui said in a bad tone and walked away.

west yard.

Jiang Wanning leaned on the Arhat couch and looked at the guest list.

It's funny to say that these three ladies probably wanted to pay off all the favors they owed in the past, and invited everyone they knew and didn't know.

She prepared fifty tables and it was not enough.

Are you planning to celebrate your last birthday?

A burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance drifted in the wind.

Jiang Wanning raised her eyes and saw Yu Niang coming in with snacks.

"Madam, there happens to be candied golden osmanthus in the kitchen, so I made sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Madam, please try it."

Jiang Wan Ning straightened up and took a piece to taste.

Sweet but not greasy, moderately soft and glutinous, full of fragrance in your mouth... "Yu Niang is good at her craftsmanship."

Yuniang said: "As long as Madam likes it."

Jiang Wanning waved to Qing'e and said, "You want to try it too."

Qing'e was doing embroidery work, so she declined: "I don't like sweets, please eat them, madam!"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled, Qing'e was having a tantrum with her!Qing'e has been unhappy ever since she asked Yu Niang to stay.

"Yu Niang, leave a piece for me, and give the rest to Xiaotao and the others."

"Yes." Yu Niang left a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took the plate out.

After a while, I heard the chattering of the maids outside, which made them very happy.

The best way to blend in with a group of little girls is to share delicious food.

Qing'e also heard it, and her face became even more ugly.

"Qing'e, don't be busy now. Go to the study to see if Mr. Lang is back. He said that he is going back home today. If he comes back, please ask him to come over. I have something to discuss with him."

Qing'e's eyes lit up and she said cheerfully: "I'll go right now, slave."

Jiang Wanning sneered: This is Qing'e's favorite job.

As soon as Qing'e left, Yuniang came in.

He gave a gift: "Madam, this is Mr. Wen..."

Jiang Wanning raised her hand to stop her: "I know, what is your real name?"

"Yu Tan, everyone usually calls me slave girl Yu Niang."

Jiang Wan Ning:...

Uncle Wen really found a beautiful lady for her.

"How many people are coming in this time?"

Yu Niang’s eyes were full of smiles: “All of them.”

Jiang Wan Ning:...

All right!Uncle Wen is awesome.

I found twenty helpers for her at once.

"Can you make sesame cakes?"

"Yes, I will make a lot of snacks."

"Very good. Let's make some sesame cakes tomorrow. The peas are yellow. Madam likes sweetness. It will be three points sweeter than today. Make it well."

Yu Niang nodded vigorously, very confident in her cooking skills.

Just as she was talking, Grandma Wang came.

"Mother Wang, you came just in time. This is Yu Niang. She just came into the house today and she said she could make snacks, so I stayed here. I asked her to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake just now. Try it and see what you think. "

Jiang Wan Ning rewarded Grandma Wang with the remaining piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Grandma Wang was flattered and accepted it happily.

"Hmm...this is so delicious, even better than the snacks from Jufangzhai."

"Madam, you have found a treasure."

She's not just saying it in a flattering way, it's really delicious.

Jade Niang greeted Grandma Wang wisely: "Thank you for the compliment, Grandma."

Jiang Wanning said: "Yu Niang, Grandma Wang is the manager of the sewing room. She is reliable and straightforward. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, please ask Grandma Wang."

Yu Niang bowed again: "Please take care of me, Grandma Wang."

Grandma Wang said cheerfully: "It's easy to talk about. If there is anything you don't want to trouble Madam about in the future, you can just come to me."

"Mother Wang, are you here for something?"

Only then did Grandma Wang think of business, so she told Aunt Wei that she wanted to ask a doctor.

Jiang Wan Ning immediately told Yu Niang: "Go to my room and get five taels of silver from the third drawer on the left side of the chest of drawers."

Then he said to Grandma Wang: "If it's not enough, you can come back to me."

Grandma Wang held the five taels of silver and sighed with emotion.

They were trying to get a penny over there, but the eldest lady gave her five taels without saying a word.

This is the magnanimity a lady in charge should have.
