Chapter 321 If you can’t take care of everyone, take care of yourself
It can be seen that although Nanny Yang looks gentle, she is very rigorous when it comes to serious matters. She has to find out everything and details clearly.
Before they knew it, it was noon. Nanny Li prepared meals for Su Wan and Su Yi, and Nanny Yang invited them to have lunch and continue the conversation after dinner.
The brother and sister did not hesitate and went to eat together. During the meal, Nanny Yang was quite well-behaved and did not talk while eating. Even the noisy children were very sensible and ate quietly without saying anything.
After dinner, Su Wan continued to discuss the affairs of Yuyan Hall with Nanny Yang. They finished a pot of tea. Su Wan was patient and answered every question. Nanny Yang was quite satisfied with the answers. She could see that Su Wan was different from ordinary women.
Afterwards, Nanny Yang agreed to go to Yuyan Hall and Zhuangzi with Su Wan tomorrow to take a look and then give her an answer.
The decision was made happily, and Su Wan returned to Furong Cottage with Su Yi when it was close to Shen Shi.
After returning, Su Wan drank two more cups of tea to moisten his throat. Nanny Yang was really rigorous and paid attention to every detail. Su Wan's mouth was dry from talking so much.
Su Yi didn't interrupt much. He just stayed quietly with her, not impatient at all. After a few hours, he was quite patient.
"Fifth brother, after spending time with Madam Yang today, what do you think of her?" Su Wan asked Su Yi for his opinion.
Su Yi heard this and said with a smile:
"The food at Yang Ma's is delicious!"
Su Wan didn't expect him to answer like this. It was really unexpected. She joked:
"Can it be as delicious as what our fourth brother cooks?"
Su Yi shook his head:
"Not really. Fourth brother is still the best at cooking, but Nanny Li's food tastes like mother's." Su Yi's answer was unique, and Su Wan agreed with it.
"That's true, but it's also rare. If Fourth Brother heard what you said, he would definitely be happy for three days and three nights."
Su Yun and Su Yi are twins, but they have always had different auras and like to bicker with each other all the time. Neither of them is willing to give in to the other. However, behind the scenes, the two brothers are familiar with each other's fields, which is an absolute blessing.
Su Yi just smiled and said nothing. He then said:
"You are quite satisfied with Nanny Yang. You have already made up your mind. Then I naturally agree with you. Moreover, I think that Nanny Yang is really wasting her talent on this job."
Su Yi recognized Yang Ma's ability. After all, she was a female official from the palace. How could she be a pushover?
Su Yi really understood Su Wan. She already had an idea in her mind: Madam Yang, she was going to fight for her no matter what.
The next day, as agreed, Su Wan and Su Yi harnessed a carriage and came to pick up Nanny Yang on time. They first went to Yuyantang's shop, which had been almost decorated and was waiting to be opened.
Afterwards, he went out of the city and went to the farm. The farm bought a total of twenty male and female servants at one time. Four of them were top-grade, to take the lead in the farm, and the rest were of medium and low grade. It didn't matter whether they were smart or not, as long as they could work. Those who were too smart would easily cause trouble.
Su Wan also told them that if they did a good job, they would have the opportunity to be released from their citizenship, but she did not give a specific time limit. The same thing had been done several times, and they had learned lessons and shortcomings. Su Wan was also growing slowly. She knew very well that she could not promise too much, otherwise these people would easily become complacent.
She also told Nanny Yang that she would have the final say on who would be added to the farm in the future. Except for the quarterly account books that needed to be sent to Xiangzhou for her review, she could make the decisions on other minor matters. Anyway, she had enough authority and was treated almost the same as her uncle.
Nanny Yang saw the operation of the workshop and the finished goat milk soap products, and nodded in praise.
To be honest, Su Wan is the most capable among all the young women she has met.
What she values most is not how women should abide by the rules and understand reason. What she admires are independent women like Su Wan who dare to act and take risks, who do not want to rely on men for life and can be their own masters.
But in the feudal ancient times, all Su Wan could give herself was financial freedom. With money, she could stand tall. As for those speeches about the unity of the great principles, advocating that women should be independent and that all people are born equal, these were the work of a brainless time-traveling woman. She didn't have that much ability to change the ideology of an entire dynasty in a short period of time. How could she change thousands of years of inheritance in a short period of time? For the future generations to reach the current point, they had gone through nearly two hundred years of changes, the efforts and blood of countless people, and those scars that could not be erased at all. They could only be remembered in the heart. Life is short. Since you can't take care of everyone, then take care of yourself.
To be more precise, if these ideas were to be made public, it would be considered treasonous and punishable by beheading. Su Wan cherishes her life very much.
As for her brothers, they are her relatives in another world. Family members should help each other, prosper together and suffer together. Their future success is Su Wan's confidence, but Su Wan is also paying for them. They are a two-way relationship and there is no blind dependence.
And there is Jiang Yu. Su Wan is not humble in front of him, at least Su Wan does not feel humble. She has always occupied a dominant position in front of him, and Jiang Yu will listen to her in the future. Even if she marries into the Duke of Jiang's Mansion in the future, she will not be cautious. The brothers she helped are her confidence. If Jiang Yu does her wrong or bullies her, she can withdraw at any time.
She has money and confidence, so what is she afraid of?
After a day of field investigation, Nanny Yang finally agreed to Su Wan's invitation and was willing to become the general manager of Kyoto Yuyan Hall.
But first of all, there must be strict written rules and signatures from both sides to guarantee it.
Su Wan likes to deal with people who are organized and easy to do. It doesn't take any effort on her part and she doesn't even have to say a word.
Nanny Yang's problem was solved smoothly, and a big thorn in Su Wan's heart was finally removed, but she couldn't rest for a moment, as she had to visit the Grand Secretary's Mansion again.
Su Wan asked Su Yi to go out and buy a gift, but was stopped by Yuan Bo. It turned out that he had already prepared the gifts for the Grand Secretary's Mansion, and they were purchased very carefully, with absolutely no mistakes to be found.
Su Wan felt embarrassed again. No wonder his elder brother praised Yuan Bo for being thoughtful in everything, which saved him a lot of trouble and helped him avoid making many mistakes. Now it seems that it is necessary to have someone who knows how to handle things by his side.
The things Yuanbo prepared were decent but not too outstanding. They were worthy of the status of the Grand Secretary's Mansion and also showed Su Wan's intentions. They were very good.
When everything was ready, Su Wan and Su Yi brought gifts to the door. At the same time, the Grand Secretary's Mansion also attached great importance to the arrival of the Su family and made preparations the day before.
The first time Su Wan saw Mrs. Shen, he was also amazed, no less than when he saw Shen Qingli.
Mrs. Shen is middle-aged, but she still has charm. As the saying goes, time never defeats beauty, and elegant people age gracefully.
She also has a bookish air, and it feels like she is emitting the fragrance of ink all over her body. Her main feature is her temperament. No wonder her daughter is so outstanding.
