The lady looked at the third and fourth daughters-in-law who were smiling in front of her and nodded slightly.

How wonderful it is this way, the handover went on naturally without any trouble.

Some things cannot be rushed. If you are impatient, you will easily feel resentful.

She laughed: "The third daughter-in-law should tell the fourth daughter-in-law, and the fourth daughter-in-law should also learn from the third daughter-in-law."

Eleventh Lady smiled and replied “yes”.

The third lady took her to where she worked to meet those old women.

Eleventh Lady felt that it was not a good idea to be so hasty, and at least there should be a more formal occasion to introduce them. She smiled and declined: "The Marquis doesn't know about this yet... I'd better tell the Marquis, and I have to arrange things at home, so that when the Marquis comes back, there won't be anyone to serve tea and water."

The Third Lady couldn't help but secretly blame herself for forgetting this matter - she had voluntarily handed over the power of the housekeeper, and she should have informed the Third Master and asked him to pretend to ask the Marquis for his opinion. In this way, she could have repaid the Marquis for doing them some favors.

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "I didn't think it through." She also thought that she had to tell the Third Master about this matter quickly, and tell him before he returned to the inner courtyard. She exchanged a few words with the Lady Dowager and Eleventh Lady, and returned to her own courtyard on the pretext of being busy, and hurriedly sent someone to the outer courtyard to find the Third Master.

When Eleventh Lady saw that the Third Lady had left, she told the Lady Dowager about Wan Daxian's matter: "...The Marquis wanted to place him in the Relatives Office, but he is a very practical person. I think it would be better to place him in the Ancestral Hall. The Marquis said that he did not understand the etiquette, so he was placed in the Office and asked to help the stewards run errands."

The Madam had long known that Xu Lingyi would relocate the stewards of the outer courtyard. But he arranged Shiyi Niang's companion in the office... She was surprised.

The people were settled in the outer courtyard so quickly.

The lady could not help but look at Eleventh Lady.

Eleventh Lady sensed something was wrong with the Madam, but she had no choice in this matter.

It's better to tell the lady in advance than for her to hear it from others.

"I have sent someone to tell Wan Daxian." The only way for Eleventh Lady now is to attribute this favor to Xu Lingyi and the Madam, so as to reduce the Madam's unhappiness. "He is very grateful and is waiting at the gatehouse. He said he would kowtow to the Marquis when he comes back. He also wants to see you." As he said this, he smiled and said, "He doesn't know the rules. I say if you really want to thank the Madam, just kowtow three times in the outer courtyard facing where you live."

The lady laughed and said, "If you don't know the rules, you can ask the stewards to teach you when the time comes."

"Mom is right!" Eleventh Lady chatted with the Lady Dowager for a few more words. Seeing that it was time to go to the Buddhist temple, Eleventh Lady sent the Lady Dowager to the temple and then returned to her own yard.

Yang Huizu's family was waiting at the door.

She was a woman in her thirties, of medium build, wearing a green Lu silk cotton jacket and a dark blue plain skirt. She had regular features and a pair of very lively eyes. She smiled and bowed to Eleventh Lady, "Madam has just returned, and I have been waiting for so long."

Eleventh Lady thought about asking Yang Huizu to help Gan Laoquan with his work, and she was a little wary of her, thinking that she was not someone she could trust. She smiled politely and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Huizu's family took out a dark red velvet purse from their sleeves and said, "My wife said you asked me to buy this."

Amber stepped forward to take it, and Shiyi Niang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." She also asked Amber to reward her with two taels of silver and asked Qiuyu to take her downstairs for tea.

She returned to the house, opened her purse, and the round pearls fell out.

Eleventh Lady picked up the rice-sized pearls and said, "Ten taels of silver, but you bought so many."

Amber smiled and brought hot tea to Shiyi Niang: "Madam, do you want to put a bracelet on Zhenjie'er?"

Eleventh Lady nodded and took the pearl: "Give it to Manager Bai and ask Manager Bai to help pierce a hole in it and then see how much the pearl is worth. Is there any fake one?"

The silver shops that can do business with the Xu family must be extraordinary, which is a good opportunity to verify Yang Huizu's ability to do things.

Amber took it with a smile, and then whispered the news she got from Wei Zi to Eleventh Lady.

Eleventh Lady was silent for a long while.

The second lady's move was really smart.

He only said that his maid wanted to seek a career. He didn't say anything else. Xu Lingyi respected this widowed sister-in-law and would definitely make good arrangements. But this maid met all the requirements to be a personal servant...

"What should we do?" Amber asked anxiously.

Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "Firstly, the Second Young Master really needs such a servant by his side. Secondly, Second Madam was asked by Aunt Qin to find a trustworthy person for the Second Young Master. It's not like she wants to harm the Second Young Master. What's the rush?" She added meaningfully, "Amber, the Second Young Master is already eleven years old this year. Even if I want to raise him, I can't. He is a concubine's son. Logically, he should have a separate residence after getting married. Why don't you all part ways politely? Why fight to the death?"

Amber thought about it and agreed. Even if she tried to please the Second Young Master, what would that do? He was sensible now. If you were sincere, he might think you were fake. It was enough to just save face!

Seeing her suddenly realize something, Eleventh Lady added, "It's just that we can't have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. We must guard against others creating misunderstandings between me and the Second Young Master and causing dissatisfaction among the Marquis. As for other things, you don't have to worry about them. After all, the maids are ours. There will be more and more things to do at home in the future. You have to find a way to use Qiuyu, Lanxuan, Xiulan and other maids. You can't control everything. You are only one person, and it will be very difficult at that time. Let them interact more with Wenzhu and others in the Second Young Master's room. If they feel anything is inappropriate, they can report to you immediately."

Amber now felt overwhelmed, and after hearing what Eleventh Lady said, she couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

Eleventh Lady instructed her again: "The maids in our house are like soldiers who come and go in the government office. You have one more thing to do now. You have to find a way to see if there are any smart girls of the right age in the mansion. Keep an eye out for them so that you can replace them when the time comes. This will also prevent us from being surrounded by Mother Tao's people."

Amber hesitated and asked, "Madam, do you think there is anyone who is not satisfactory?"

Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "Dongqing and Binju are not young anymore... We have to plan ahead."

Amber thought of how Eleventh Lady often inquired about Wan Daxian, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, "You have taken a fancy to Wan Daxian."

Eleventh Lady nodded and asked her quietly: "What do you think of him and Dongqing?"

Amber's eyes smiled like a crescent moon: "Daxian is honest, Sister Dongqing is gentle... Madam really has good taste."

As they were talking, the Wanyi clan arrived.

Amber couldn't help but smile and said, "This is really a telepathic connection." Then she went to welcome the Wan Yi clan in, and took the pearl to go to Butler Bai.

Wan Yizong's family brought two boxes of persimmon biscuits, dried pears, dried fruits, peanuts, crispy beans and other cheap dried fruits in paper boxes: "Madam, please don't despise it, it's a little gift from me." Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Shiyi Niang, "Daxian can't come, I kowtow to you on his behalf. I will do my best to do the job and not embarrass you."

Eleventh Lady smiled and asked someone to bring a stool for her to sit on. She asked about the situation in Goldfish Lane. She learned that Liu Yuanrui was in charge there, that everyone had hot meals to eat, and that a thick cotton-padded jacket was made for everyone. Eleventh Lady was very satisfied, and the topic gradually turned to Wan Daxian's marriage.

"…Isn't that too much to ask?"

"Madam, you are joking." Wan Yizong smiled bitterly, "Our family is too poor, no one would be willing to marry into our family."

"How about I be a guardian to Daxian?" Shiyi Niang said with a smile.

Wan Yi Zong was stunned for a moment, but his smile was somewhat forced: "Madam, I would love to have you as a matchmaker."

Seeing that she was not happy at all, Shiyi Niang knew that she was not happy at all. A forced melon is not sweet. Besides, she will be the mother-in-law in the future...

Eleventh Lady sighed secretly in her heart, and asked the Wanyi clan about the situation of Jiang Bingzheng and Chang Jiuhe's family.

It can be seen that Wan Yi Zongjia is also an honest man. Although he talked very little about Jiang Bingzheng and more about Chang Jiuhe, he mostly praised him and never said anything bad about him.

Everyone chatted for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Eleventh Lady handed the paper box sent by Wanyi Zong's family to Wanyi Zong's family and said, "Come with me to thank the Madam for her kindness."

Wan Yi clan was very uneasy: "This, this..."

"Take it!" Eleventh Lady said with a smile, "We are a family, so everything is easy to discuss. Daxian was able to work in the mansion because of the grace of the Madam. Just like you said, it's a gesture. I think the Madam will not dislike it."

After hearing this, Wan Yi Zongjia took the paper box. As soon as he left the courtyard, he met Amber who had returned from delivering a message. She said in a somewhat frustrated tone, "Madam, the magic cube, Chief Steward Bai said it was too complicated, so he asked someone to take it to the inner court. I'm afraid it will take some time before we get a reply."

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but sigh.

When she was studying abroad, a boy pursued her desperately. He told her how to make a Rubik's Cube and gave her a plexiglass Rubik's Cube he made by himself. She was deeply impressed and didn't think it was difficult at the time. How did he get it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it?

She smiled bitterly and took the Wan Yi clan to the lady's place.

The lady was very happy to see her. She gave a few instructions and not only rewarded Wan Yi's family with two taels of silver, but also gave her a meal.

Eleventh Lady felt a little relieved. She had done everything she could and hoped that the lady could truly let it go.

After the third lady came over, the two of them served the old lady lunch and then left her yard together.

On the way, the third lady chatted with her very affectionately, and then sent her to the gate of the courtyard and back to her own room.

Eleventh Lady had taken a nap. Just as she got up, a little maid came to report: "The two mothers beside the wife of Weibei Marquis are here to greet you."

Are they discussing sending Sister Hui here?

Eleventh Lady asked someone to invite the two mothers in.

As expected, it was about Hui Jie'er, asking if it would be appropriate for Mrs. Lin to visit tomorrow morning.

Eleventh Lady agreed, rewarded the two mothers, asked Amber to send it out, and then went to the lady dowager and showed her the letter from Mrs. Lin.

"Then prepare it tomorrow and keep them for dinner." Then he told Wei Zi to fetch the box of his red-painted baby-playing antique shelf, took out a bronze plate from it and handed it to Eleventh Lady, "This is my pair of plates. If the Third Old Wife doesn't have what you want, ask the Outer Court's Chief Steward Bai to buy it for you."

The burden of receiving Mrs. Lin fell entirely on myself.

Eleventh Lady was a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at the pair of cards.

It was only two fingers wide and two inches long, and was hung with a bright red square chain. On one end was a carved Pixiu head, and below it were written the four characters "Ding of the Yongping Marquis' Mansion" in solemn script.

A, B, C, D... I don't know how much authority the card with the letter A on it has.

She took the pair of cards respectfully.
