After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 15

Ning Ruyan suddenly looked confused.

"Ning, what do you want?" Huo almost cried.

"Mother, it's not that the daughter-in-law is taking Qiao, but..." Ning Ruyan sighed, "It's that the servants in this mansion won't listen to the daughter-in-law at all. When the time comes, the daughter-in-law will still be just an empty frame."

"Then how are you going?"

"Give me the body deeds of your servants as well."

"This……"

After Ning Ruyan finished speaking, she saluted again: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is still a little unwell, so I'll go back first." Then she turned around and left.

Huo looked at Ning Ruyan's back with a complicated expression.

After leaving Shoukangyuan, Bai Zhi couldn't help but glance at Ning Ruyan: "Miss, will the old lady agree?"

"Yes." Ning Ruyan smiled.

Huo looked at the other people in the room at this time: "What do you think?"

The others are Jiang Changgong's two aunts, one is Jiang Bowen's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and the other is Aunt Sun, who gave birth to a daughter, the eldest concubine Jiang Mingyue, but she is only ten years old this year.

Aunt Sun glanced at Aunt Zhao, then hugged her daughter and lowered her head. Because she gave birth to a daughter, she had never had much presence in the house.

Because Aunt Zhao gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine, she still had a status in the house. However, she lost face because of the departure of her daughter-in-law Gong. After all, she had chosen this daughter-in-law herself, so now Shi Ye's expression was a bit sarcastic: "Everything depends on Madam's arrangement."

Huo took a long breath and said, "That's all. If that's the case, then just obey her." Then she asked Aunt Yuan to take the deeds of the servants in the mansion and send them to Wutong Courtyard.

Of course, the personal deeds of every master's servants in each courtyard are still in the hands of each master, but except for the people who serve in the courtyard, the personal deeds of everyone else have been given to Ning Ruyan.

"Thank you, mama." After comparing the list with the deed, Ning Ruyan smiled and gestured, "Baizhi, give mama a silver ingot to buy tea."

Bai Zhi took a five-tael silver ingot and stuffed it into Grandma Yuan's hand: "Don't be too little, Grandma."

"Thank you, Madam." Madam Yuan couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes for a while. After all, the financial situation of the house has not been very good in the past two years, and the monthly payment has not been paid in time. In the past six months, Madam She got better after getting married, but this was the first time she encountered such a large reward. After all, her monthly salary was only two taels of silver.

Moreover, although they are both first-class nuns around Huo, her status is not as good as Aunt Zhong's, and the benefits are naturally even less.

"In the future, I will have to rely on grandma for many things."

"Whatever I know, I will definitely tell you everything." Aunt Yuan bowed and replied, "If there is nothing wrong, then I will go back first."

Ning Ruyan nodded, and then personally sent the person to the door.

"Fifty taels of silver can make Grandma Yuan's attitude become so flattering?" Banxia curled her lips.

"Since the general lost his military power, the general's mansion has changed a lot." Ning Ruyan took a sip of tea, "My mother-in-law doesn't know how to run a business, but she still likes to show off, so over the years, The General's Mansion has long been unable to make ends meet and has been resting on its laurels."

"I have also heard from several servants that they often defaulted on their wages before, and it was only after our eldest daughter got married that things got better." Bai Zhi nodded, "Moreover, this Aunt Yuan has been competing with Aunt Zhong. It’s a pity that she is always a little behind, and she must not be reconciled to it. If we can win her over, it will be good for us, right?”

Ning Ruyan smiled and nodded, acquiescing to Bai Zhi's statement. "But Miss, why do you still want to accept this mess?" Banxia frowned.

"The stall is indeed bad, but..." Ning Ruyan smiled and picked out a few deeds from a stack, "It just depends on how you want to cook."

In her previous life, she took over the task of being the head of the family, but did not ask for the management contract. Therefore, the servants always treated her in a submissive manner, so that she was timid in doing things for a long time. She will never make the same mistake in this life.

"Miss, are there any problems with these people?" Bai Zhi's eyes fell on the several body deeds in Ning Ruyan's hand.

Ning Ruyan's eyes flashed: "There is indeed a problem." And there is still a big problem.

"what is the problem?"

"You guys will know about it gradually in the future." Ning Ruyan took out two pieces from it, "When you encounter these two people, pay more attention to them. If they encounter difficulties, help them if you can."

Bai Zhi and Ban Xia nodded hurriedly.

"And these two..." Ning Ruyan handed over the other two body deeds, "You should pay more attention. It is best to find the handle and deal with it as soon as possible."

Although these two people are not from Shoukangyuan, they were good helpers to my mother-in-law in their previous life. One was in the concierge and the other was in the accounting office. Whether they were delivering money or delivering news, they were able to slip away smoothly.

Of course, these two people also made trouble for her. The most serious one was that they even spread rumors that she was stealing. Not only did she crawl into Mr. Jiang's bed, she even had an affair with the shopkeeper, which almost left her speechless. .

In this life, she had to deal with these two people first.

And these two people are both relatives of Grandma Zhong.

Bai Zhi and Ban Xia looked at each other, their expressions became serious, but they still nodded.

At this moment, the housekeeper Jiang Cheng came over: "Madam, everyone has gathered in the front hall."

"Yeah." Ning Ruyan nodded, then stood up, "Let's go."

In the front hall, the servants of the General's Mansion gathered here. Of course, representatives from each courtyard were sent here.

The one who came to Shoukangyuan was Huo's confidant, Grandma Zhong.

"Our General's Mansion is in an extraordinary period now. The general's wife is not in good health, so she asked me to take over the errands of the head of the family." Ning Ruyan glanced at everyone, then sat down at the top, "Speaking of which, I just got married. In the past six months, even my husband has just died in the war. She is a new widow and is not suitable for public appearances. However, the second wife has run away, and this family cannot be left without a leader. "

All the servants lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Since you have made me the master, you must abide by my rules from now on." Ning Ruyan gestured to Banxia.

Banxia put the body deed he brought on the table.

"Except for the second-class and above who are serving in each courtyard, all of them are in the hands of their masters, and the rest of them are here." Ning Ruyan pointed to the stack of paper, "I will give you a chance. If you feel that you don't want to be here, Those who work under me, or who don’t want to listen to my orders, can come over now and take the money to redeem the deed and leave.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they started whispering to each other.
