Chapter 132 Multiple Clients

Mo Yi bowed and watched King Qi leave.

Only then did I realize that they both seemed to be people who didn't talk much...

This face is so confusing. Will it be like this in the future?

He sat down, poured himself another cup of tea, drank it, and started walking around the room.

After a while, Nanny Zhao came back.

She must have deliberately avoided it to give herself a chance to meet the prince alone.

"We have classes here on weekdays. You can come here after breakfast and have lunch here at noon. There is also a place to rest temporarily in the inner room. Go back before dinner. If it is windy, rainy, or the weather is bad, you can also rest at home for a day.

As for the courses, just like before, the nanny is not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and will not teach them. She will teach you some tea ceremony and incense ceremony. If necessary, she will invite a master to teach you the appreciation of paintings and precious objects, and the identification of jewelry and fabrics.

But the most important thing is to learn how to manage property, household, and socialize.

The industry is currently not accessible.

The butler is in charge of people and property, as well as the daily operation of the entire palace.

To socialize, one must first understand the royal family and the aristocratic families in the capital. This area is very complicated.

But don't be afraid, young lady. In our palace, except for a few important relationships, we can't make mistakes. The rest are fine.

No matter how capable a person is, it is impossible for him to know everything and do everything well. Therefore, the people around him are very important. "

Mo Yi nodded: "Last time, my family was amazed at the maids around you. They acted in a disciplined manner and did their work quickly and well."

"Yes. The four of them are the standard for first-class maids. Generally, a noblewoman in the capital will have a housekeeper, two to four first-class maids, and second- and third-class maids according to her actual needs.

Sometimes the housemaid is recommended by the wet nurse. Sometimes it is the eldest maid who returns to the family after getting married. There are also all the relatives. The more particular ones have a special hairdresser. The housewife's hair, especially for important occasions, needs a wig and a full set of jewelry. The style must also be considered, which is also a very complicated job. "

"There must be someone in the room to take care of your clothes and jewelry; someone to accompany you on social outings; and someone who can cook some nourishing meals. These people must be gradually added to your side."

How many people must be around? It's so uncomfortable to have so many eyes watching.

"These people are usually family-born. They need to be capable, but more importantly, loyal! You can't buy that easily from outside.

The four older girls I brought up last time were raised by me for a noble. However, they are not needed now. You can use them first. You can buy a few younger girls and let them take care of them. It is easier to use the ones you raise yourself."

"I'll leave these matters to your arrangement for now." Mo Yi couldn't figure out what to do for a moment.

Although she was gradually getting into it, she became more confused about this marriage.

Since the Xu family got engaged, the fiancé only visited with gifts during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, no one was seen. No one came to teach the rules, and no one would give gifts. The gifts were for the Mo family and for my sister. Although they were high-end, they were all very polite.

As the King of Qi was doing... So, his princess wanted him to train her in every aspect? He even wanted her to add to her dowry!

This is really weird...

But she didn't dare to ask the prince, nor did she dare to ask Zhao Ma. Not to mention her family... Daddy was the only one who cared about her the most, but if she told him, it would probably only make him anxious...

No one knew what Nanny Zhao was thinking, but she turned around and took a booklet.

"This is the arrangement for the future, you can check it later. It's just a rough guide and can be adjusted at any time."

Mo Yi took it.

"Now, do you have anything to ask or say?"

The cigarette smoke curled up, the steam rose, and the two people spoke in a neither high nor low voice, neither hurried nor slow...

"Mammy...there is something I want to tell you."

"Young lady, please speak."

"It's like this...my father and I started a small business two years ago," she recounted the whole story.

“Business has improved a lot. We just rented a shop two days ago… We are ready to start a business.

Although Li Qi's skills are not superb, they are more in line with our requirements. However, he is currently unable to complete the work on his own according to my wishes.

I have to do the drawing myself. Also, I have to take care of some of the affairs in the shop. We have to leave some time in our course to deal with these matters.”

She didn't use a tone of request or negotiation because she intuitively knew that... Madam Zhao might object.

Sure enough, Nanny Zhao didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "I admire you for being able to manage this with Mr. Mo and doing a good job. But...

Miss Mo, you will face people and things in the future that you have never experienced or even heard of in the past ten years. Although Mammy has been advising you not to be nervous and take it slow, to be honest, there are too many things to learn and many things to do.

And during this period, Mammy will take you out to socialize and visit properties. Our burden is really not light!

Your business... was very important in the past, but it is not very meaningful in the future. Because, what you have spent so much effort to run is not worth mentioning in front of the palace.

Besides, as a princess, such work can only be used as a pastime. The products can be given to the prince or friends, but selling them for money... is not appropriate.

From now on, your uncle's career will be much smoother. Your father will also be able to find a good job, and they will all have a good future. You don't have to worry about money anymore. Let your subordinates take care of this small business slowly. After all, it's all his."

Mo Yi blinked: "On this point, Mo Yi has some different ideas."

"I'd like to hear more about it."

"My parents' marriage...has taught me a lot of things. Whether you are a man or a woman, you must have your own way to make a living. You must have something to focus on. Even women cannot devote all their energy to their husbands.

If you put too much emphasis on one side, you will lose balance. In the end, you will not be happy, and the other person will not be happy either."

These words reminded Zhao Ma of the former princess Zhou Li.

No one who sees her would think that she is not beautiful or talented.

I thought the same way at that time.

But she just... put all her thoughts on the prince, and valued his love and care too much, and was worried about gains and losses. In the end, neither she nor the prince was happy.

So... is this actually the case?

Aunt Zhao hesitated...

“I hope to have something I like to do and make some money from it. Even if it’s insignificant, it can give me peace of mind.

However, if business improves in the future and I can afford to hire a good chef, I won’t be as busy as I am now.”

After that, she took out two objects and said, "Mammy, look at these two things. When I got the materials, I thought: what can it be made of, what effect will it have, who will wear it, how much money can it be sold for, can people afford it, and will they like it... This kind of thinking makes me happy.

This piece of green jade is of average quality. Green jade is generally more suitable for men to wear. This piece is lighter in color, so it is better for young men to wear. After thinking for a long time, I decided to make it into a shield.

It is specially made for those young boys who like martial arts. It means to resist harm and protect oneself. Caring parents will be willing to spend some money to buy it for their sons to wear.

Zhao Mama took it, her eyes sparkling, "Well, I understand what the young lady meant. Then let's arrange this matter. This small shield is nice, Mama plans to buy it as a gift, how much is it for?"
