C8 Housekeeper

Seeing this, Qingliu walked up and said, "It's really late today. I'll go to the Madam's courtyard tomorrow and find a shelf to carry the books over."

Zhang mama waved her hand. "There's no need. These aren't things that ladies often look at. They're all things that you can find in the storehouse. You can just take them out and dry them under the sun for a bit."

Hearing this, Qingliu didn't refute her words, but only said softly, "Since it's like this, I think I've pretty much sorted everything out. Senior Servant Gui is also tired from traveling, how about you take a bath first to relieve your fatigue, and then you can leave us here. "

Zhang mama turned her stiff neck. After sitting in the carriage for the past few days, she was indeed a bit tired. She was also a bit old, so after giving a few instructions, she went to rest.

After a while, Faang Xinsu had finished washing up and returned. Because her hair was still slightly wet, she didn't rush into bed. Instead, she sat in front of the dressing table next to the window and started reading.

Qingliu brought in a tray and placed it on the small round table in the inner room. She smiled and said, "This is the sweet and sour cream that the eldest young miss has sent over. Would young lady like to try it?"

Faang Xinsu put down the book in her hand and looked at the palm-sized green glaze lotus bowl on the wooden tray. Inside were some white things, some raisins and walnuts. He couldn't help but ask, "What is this made of?"

Qingliu smiled. "It's made with milk, sweet rice wine, and white sugar."

Faang Xinsu nodded. Although she didn't know what the taste was like, her eldest cousin had someone send it over. It wasn't good to not eat it. She picked up the spoon and carefully scooped a spoonful of the milk into her mouth. Surprisingly, the taste was a rare silk-like texture that melted immediately after entering her mouth. There was a faint fragrance and sweetness to it, not the tang of milk. During the dinner, she hadn't actually eaten much. Her stomach was still half empty, so she ate up the whole bowl of cheese.

After eating, Qingliu washed her mouth again and said with a smile, "The lady said that she has to eat this every day. Since the lady likes it, you can just make another bowl and send it to her every day."

Faang Xinsu frowned slightly. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be too much trouble for cousin?"

"It's fine, it's just a matter of words. When we cook in the small kitchen, we always make more. The other girls are not used to this taste. If the girls don't eat it, it would only be letting us take advantage of it. " Qingliu said with a smile.

Faang Xinsu saw that Qingliu spoke in a way that was clear in her speech, and she smiled as she said, "In that case, I think my cousin's good stuff is off my mind. The two of us are new here, so some rules are unclear. I hope that Big Sister Qingliu can give us some advice in the future. "

Qingliu quickly said, "You're being too polite. You can't be a girl like that. Besides, the girl and Eldest Young Master are both smart. However, the people in this mansion are a little more familiar with each other. There are some things that you can tell the young lady in private. "

Faang Xinsu smiled. "Since that's the case, then I won't hold back. Tell me about the masters in the mansion first, I have a good idea. "

Seeing that Faang Xinsu wanted to know more, Qingliu carefully explained every single person in the mansion, from the old madams to the young ladies, aunts, and even the maidservants by their side, their temperament, hobbies, and all sorts of relationships.

Faang Xinsu was very clear about the situation. Qingliu had only mentioned a few sentences, but she had already understood most of it. She also had a plan for what she was going to do in the future.

After Faang Xinsu fell asleep, Qingliu returned to her room. After returning to her room, she opened the purse that Faang Xinsu had given her. She touched the round one, but didn't know what it was. When she opened it, she found that it was filled with pearls the size of lotus seeds. Qingliu also had several pearls of this size, but these pearls actually emitted a pink and purple luster, which was very rare.

Qingliu carefully put the pearl away, washed up a little, and then lay down to sleep. She had been busy the whole day and was a bit tired.

With Qingliu's reminder, the two of them quickly blended into the life of the Marquis Mansion, and normally, they had a lot of strings attached to the servants of the Marquis Mansion. For example, the Marquis Mansion maids like Qingliu received two monthly fees, giving generous rewards to their servants on a daily basis.

The maidservants who had been reluctant to come to the Tsui Nai to serve had ruined their intestines. It would have been nice if Cousin had been so rich.

When Shen Cang heard from the mouths of the servants that Cousin and Young Master Biao were both rich, he couldn't help but think of something. When Shen Cang saw Faang Xinsu that day, he was almost killed by her beauty. Mrs. Han's rules were strict. As long as he entered the second door, he would have at least two or three women following him. They wouldn't even be able to get close to where the girls were staying.

These days, he didn't even step out of the house. He just kept on trying to please Faang Xinjian at home for the sake of his sister and Faang Xinjian being similar. Now that he heard that this cousin was not only pretty but also very rich, Shen Cang couldn't help but think of Faang Xinsu. If he could marry his cousin, wouldn't that mean he had gotten a beauty and money?

What could he think of to do it?

Before Shen Cang could come up with a plan, a piece of good news came from the mansion: Master Hou had won a war on the southwest coast, and had completely wiped out the Golden Sand Country, which had been invading our Great Kang Dynasty. Since he had come back victorious, there was naturally no lack of rewards. The mansion was immediately filled with joy.

After receiving the news, countless guests came to congratulate them.

As the loyal duke had yet to return, most of the people who came were the titled s. These people were naturally all personally received by Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han also asked the steward to entertain her distinguished guest and to pack up her things to welcome her husband back. Therefore, he gave a portion of the household chores to the girls to divide up. She said, "Since the girls are already old, it's very appropriate for them to learn how to manage the housekeeping. After all, this is the most important thing for a girl. Other poems, songs, songs, calligraphies and paintings are just some small tricks used for entertainment. They can't be considered mainstream. "

After arriving at Marquis Mansion, Faang Xinsu went to school with her other cousins, learning some poems and essays in the morning and practicing some zither, chess, calligraphy and painting in the afternoon.

Now that Mrs. Marquis had spoken, their girls' studies had been suspended, and even the youngest Shen Xiang had been assigned a mission. Compared to the music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, the steward and the people who came in contact with each other were the most important subjects for the ladies of a large family.

Shen Tian was in charge of the kitchen, Faang Xinsu was in charge of the master's needlework room, Shen Xiang was in charge of the various rooms, Shen Ying was in charge of the furniture, and Shen Lian was in charge of the chores.

Mrs. Han ordered the people from the Tong Hua Pavilion, which was closest to the second door, to clean it up and help the girls with their work. She also sent Nanny Qi, who was standing by her side, to take charge. The girls arrived here every day and left at the beginning of the afternoon.

Just like this, if there was any problem, they could come together quickly and have a discussion. Although there were occasionally some omissions, in the end, nothing big went wrong.
