Yuan Xueyue was silent, thought for a moment and said,
"General, you know best that I have no second thoughts. These ridiculous oaths are of no use to our ancestors. They will only cause them more trouble."
"If the ancestors knew that these troubles were caused by the general and that he had to ask his wife to resign to handle those matters for you, they would probably hate you for being incompetent."
Guo Liangxian said angrily, "Stop talking about our ancestors! I'm going to talk to you about family matters now!"
"What do you mean by constantly bringing up our ancestors?"
Yuan Xueyue said, "It's nothing. My mother-in-law asked me to reflect on my mistakes here, so I should calm down and kowtow devoutly. But since the general has made such a fuss, I can't guarantee that my ancestors won't blame me."
“…”
Guo Liangxian turned around and left angrily!
Cuiping watched him leave, then came in cautiously and bowed to him, saying,
"Madam, the general is gone."
Yuan Xueyue nodded.
Cui Ping said, "I will go back to the mansion later and bring some food for Madam. Is there anything you need to pay attention to?"
"No need to do anything, just do it quietly."
"Um!"
"By the way, the old lady will come the day after tomorrow. You just need to send her away outside and let her walk along West Street. You will get something." Yuan Xueyue instructed.
Cuiping was surprised and pointed at herself and said, "Me? I asked the old lady..."
Madam is so amazing that she thinks so highly of her!
Yuan Xueyue nodded and said,
"Just say that because the old lady kowtowed to her ancestors devoutly, the ancestors appeared and said that someone familiar to the old lady would appear on West Street, and that she must go and cannot go against the ancestors' wishes."
"The old lady will definitely go."
After hearing this, Cuiping nodded hurriedly.
Cuiping didn't want to ask who the familiar person was, she would know when the time came.
Guo Liangxian returned home disappointed, with a pale face. He came to the small courtyard next to the Pear Garden, picked up Xing'er and beat him up!
"Wow... Father, I will try my best to write... But my grandmother has been punished, so I need to rest." Xingger cried.
Guo Liangxian only slapped his butt twice before he softened his heart.
"Can you go to school tomorrow? I'll take you there!" Guo Liangxian said.
Xing Ge'er felt the pain in his body and shook his head.
"I can't quite go. I still feel uncomfortable. The maid just applied the medicine when my father came and beat me."
Hearing Xingger's words, Guo Liangxian felt guilty and hugged him to comfort him.
"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. I was just angry with your mother today, so I came back to beat you."
Xing'er's eyes sparkled, "Mother? You're going to see mother? Your son wants to go too!"
Guo Liangxian frowned, "Why, is it difficult to go to school, but you are so attentive when you go to see your mother?"
Xingge curled his lips and said,
"Mother used to be strict, but now she is very kind to her son. He misses her."
Guo Liangxian said coldly, "What are you thinking about? Your grandmother punished her by sending her to the ancestral hall to reflect on her mistakes because she neglected to teach you. Don't think about it!"
Xing'er said sadly, "Why can't I think about it? Mother didn't do anything wrong..."
"You still say that!" Guo Liangxian was so angry that he wanted to slap him again, but he hesitated.
He pushed Xingger away and left.
He walked aimlessly in the mansion, thinking...
In just two years, has Xingger forgotten his biological mother?
Although Xingger had been living in the countryside of his hometown, Lucheng, and was raised by his uncles and uncles for several years, he was adopted by his mother, Xueyue, as the eldest son.
If his sister and Xing'er's biological mother were still alive, Yuan Xueyue would never teach them like this!
Guo Liangxian shook his head, feeling helpless.
If only my sister could come back, I wonder if she's alive or dead, or where she's wandering...
Thinking of this, he walked towards Yaoyu Pavilion.
He never thought that his fantasy would come true in two days!
In Yaoyu Pavilion, Ju Niu'er and Guo Liangxian were happy for a long time...
The next day.
Nian continued to look after the troublesome household affairs and asked Cui Mama to divide them up and let Ju Niuer and the others try to handle them.
Ever since Zhuangzi had the support of the royal palace, he received the reward money. It just so happened that Xing'er had problems with his studies, and Yuan Xueyue had angered Nian, so she was punished and sent to the ancestral hall!
Even during the busiest time, Yuan Xueyue was nowhere to be seen!
This made Nian furious.
The mansion is also expanding its servants and maids, and the steward has added two or three more servants from the household slaves to be in charge of Yaoyu Pavilion and Yanling Garden.
After all, the general will expand his concubines and have a big family and a big business in the future!
These life-threatening tasks must be determined in advance so that they can become familiar with how to handle them and the concubines will have time to serve the general well.
There are four or five rooms in Yaoyu Pavilion and Yanling Garden, including main rooms, side rooms, and second bedrooms.
The wing rooms were reserved for the mother who managed the courtyard.
Fortunately, Ju Niu'er was born into a family of slaves, and her mother was Cui Mama, who was close to the old lady, so she quickly selected the candidate.
Mrs. Chen, the cousin of Manager Li in the front yard.
When it comes to Yanlingyuan, only Lin Yan'er lives there. She doesn't like other people coming, and she even wants to personally choose a suitable mother to take care of it!
Nian was too lazy to intervene.
With this release, Lin Yan'er can choose at will, depending on her taste and who wants to take the top spot!
There are five old servants in the quota, all of whom are old maids among the servants.
Their qualifications are not as high as Mother Cui's, but some of them were recruited from nearby dignitaries. Their identities are very clear, and choosing them is also very important.
Cai Chan looked at the list and said,
"Auntie, this Hui Madam is someone the old lady knows very well. She also came from her hometown in Lucheng. Before, there were enough servants in the mansion, so she was sent out to have some freedom."
"Now that the General's Mansion has expanded, Mother Hui immediately responded to the call and returned."
Cai Chan explained it so clearly that she thought Lin Yan'er would directly choose Hui Mama.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan'er glanced and pointed at Lai Mama next to Hui Mama!
Lai Mama's family background was also clear. She had won the election from the neighboring family and had finally managed to get a spot to apply for the position in the General's Mansion. She didn't expect that she would be treated so well after just trying to please Lin Yan'er a little bit when she entered the house!
Mother Lai was startled and immediately knelt down and kowtowed,
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. This old servant, Lai, will definitely take good care of Yanling Garden!"
On the way here, she had inquired about it. Lin Yan'er was the girl General Guo brought back from outside, and her status was quickly reduced to a concubine.
Even though he came from a humble background, he could still be the master at a high position. This shows how much the general loves him!
As long as she thanks quickly, her master won't mind, and the other maids won't mind just suffering in silence.
Only Hui's mother opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief, and bowed,
"Aunt Yan, this old slave has been used by the old lady, so he must be good. Why don't you choose this old slave?"
Hearing Hui's mother's question, Lin Yan'er said unhappily,
"Are you the master, or am I? The old lady asked you to compete, and I have the final say on who to choose!"
Hui's mother said, "But, Lai's mother..."
"Oh! You are a grown-up! How can you disobey your master's wishes? Before you even start working in the general's mansion, you've already started teaching Aunt Yan how to do things. Do you even understand the rules?" Mother Lai scolded.
