In wealthy families, a head maidservant wouldn't be allowed to marry off so early.

Mu Yi'an thought of it and said so. As for when they would get married, that was for her parents to worry about; she didn't want to force them into a marriage.

After talking for a while, Mu Yi'an became a little tired, so Sister Fang helped her lie down to rest.

In the outer courtyard, Accountant Song finished calculating the last account and a smile appeared on his face.

He only felt at ease after he officially took over the family accounts.

The master and mistress of the house are easy to get along with and not suspicious. Just look at Butler Li; he has a lot of miscellaneous things to do and basically takes care of everything.

Those who sold themselves into slavery depended on their masters for survival. Their well-being depended on their masters' prosperity. Their peace of mind came from their masters' trust in them.

Their Jiang family was small, without any backstabbing or framing, and they lived a comfortable life.

The children can also read and write and practice martial arts, which is better than the average farming family's life.

Aside from lacking freedom and their descendants being barred from taking the imperial examinations, they had no other major issues.

Even those who are free cannot afford to go to school; even making ends meet is a problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Accountant Song took the account book and went to find Steward Li.

At this time, the busiest person was Butler Li.

His wife was unwell, so he had to think of everything and prepare in advance.

However, it'll be almost over soon, and things will be better after the New Year.

Now that both shops are open and Manager Wei is in charge, his job is much easier.

After the New Year, his wife didn't know what other plans she had. He was making plans for the people at home and on the estate, wanting to have a clear understanding of their situation.

Mu Yi'an was also lucky; the servants he bought were all quite good.

In any case, things went smoothly both at home and outside, and everyone worked together to welcome the New Year.
