“Young Madam, the old lady’s two shops are top-notch, earning a thousand taels of silver every month. The old lady says you don’t have to do anything, just wait to collect the money.”

"Of course, you can replace it with your own people if you want. You can do it directly without informing the old lady."

As she spoke, Chang's mother kept an eye on Jiang Shuwan's expression.

Despite seeing so many precious items, the young mistress remained calm, which showed her composure.

Chang's mother praised her highly.

"No need to change the person, please thank the old lady for me."

Madam Pei is a master at training people; she's more than happy to have two stewards given to her for free.

After speaking, Jiang Shuwan asked Qingxing to give a red envelope to Mama Chang.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Chang."

"This servant dares not accept such praise."

Chang Mama didn't dare take her reward, even though she was the first-class nanny by the old lady's side, while Jiang Shuwan was a new bride.

However, this new bride not only took back her betrothal gifts, but also sent one of the three matrons of the Wen family, the etiquette matron, directly to the estate.

What kind of deity is this!

That was an amazing move.

Chang's mother secretly observed Jiang Shuwan and felt extremely alarmed.

"Of course, Mom is busy late at night. A red envelope is nothing, especially since it's my special day. Please do me the favor."

Madam Chang was a favorite of Madam Pei, essentially serving as her boss's special secretary.

She takes care of everything from food and clothing to shelter and transportation, and they have a decades-long master-servant relationship. Jiang Shuwan cares for her much more than she does for others.

Moreover, Aunt Chang came over to give her money.

We must be generous.

It's okay for people to love money, but they must spend it when necessary.

"Since you say so, young mistress, then this servant thanks you for the reward." Chang Mama bowed and withdrew.

"Miss, you're amazing!" Qingxing looked at the jewelry and fabrics with great delight, examining one piece after another and touching another.

"Miss, look at this gold-inlaid jade headdress. The jade is of excellent quality, without any impurities."

"And this fabric, this is real, fashionable Yun brocade, the fabric is new and beautiful."

"And this bracelet is even better quality than the one the First Madam gave you this morning."

Qingxing held a jade bracelet in her hand and looked at it under the lamplight.

Jiang Shuwan nodded; everything Madam Pei sent was of the highest quality.

She secretly calculated the price. The gifts sent by Madam Pei, plus the ones that hadn't been taken away before, totaled at least 120 sets of betrothal gifts from the Marquis's mansion.

The Wen family originally only gave her one hundred taels of betrothal gifts, and they were of inferior quality.

Now she has twenty more, and every single one of them is in good condition.

Did you feel good?

Jiang Shuwan smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Madam Pei also gave her two capable stewards, so that her younger brother could learn some skills from them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuwan immediately called a servant. It was late now, so she would have him inform her brother tomorrow.

Madam Pei did not take back the two small shops that the Marquis's mansion had given her before.

Including the shop that Jiang Shuwan brought with her as part of her dowry, she owned a total of five shops.

The two large shops given to them by Madam Pei were like golden eggs, earning a net profit of a thousand taels of silver every month.

The other three are tiny shops where it's hard to even turn around, but the locations are pretty good. One sells milk tea, one sells oden, and one sells grilled skewers.

She'll find some time tomorrow to write down the recipes for milk tea, oden, and grilled skewers on a piece of paper.

My brother can read, so he hires someone to make the dishes according to the instructions on the paper. If the taste is about 70-80% right, that's enough to sell.

After giving these instructions, Jiang Shuwan lay down again.

The sixth rule for surviving in the workplace.

Do it when it's time to do it.

Lie down when you should.

Jiang Shuwan roasted small tangerines around the stove. Winter fruits are not cheap, and now the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, making the roads difficult to travel.

The fruits on the market were exorbitantly expensive, but Madam Pei was generous and gave her a basket of them.

Jiang Shuwan asked Xiao Tao to take a few down and distribute them to the servants, so that they could also have a taste.

"Thank you, Miss. You are too kind to us servants."

"This fruit is very precious; even a wealthy family's daughter couldn't afford one in the dead of winter..."

The servants were moved to tears.

All the useful and influential servants in the Jiang household were given to Jiang Yao as part of her dowry by Song Shi.

They were all invisible people in the mansion, with no money or power, so they were assigned to be Jiang Shuwan's dowry maids.

Jiang Shuwan used to dominate Jiang Yao and Madam Song in the Jiang family, making them feel inferior. They thought Jiang Shuwan was very difficult to get along with...

He had only been with her for a few days, yet he received a reward.

"Young Miss is such a kind person."

"This servant will definitely serve Miss diligently from now on."

All the servants were won over, and their loyalty to her soared.

Chun Jiao and Mei Xue were also very happy.

They were quite attractive, and I was worried that Jiang Shuwan would punish them, but I didn't expect to be rewarded too.

The two women were overjoyed.

Jiang Shuwan was also delighted; she had no intention of dealing with the two women.

They were useful to her.

After admiring the fruit, Jiang Shuwan roasted peanuts and sweet potatoes on the stove.

Qingxing also gathered around the fire to warm herself, but as she warmed herself, she became worried again.

Lady Wen was confined to her quarters, and another etiquette nanny was lost.

This is certainly gratifying.

However, since Madam Wen was the mother-in-law, Jiang Shuwan was naturally shorter than her.

Furthermore, although Madam Pei sent a lot of jewelry and fabrics to make up for Jiang Shuwan's betrothal gifts, she also gave her twenty extra tables.

But wasn't Madam Pei worried?

What a coincidence! The granddaughter-in-law is filial to her grandmother, and then it is discovered that the granddaughter-in-law's betrothal gifts have been mistreated.
