As a junior, Jiang Segu has no right to interfere in the affairs of the eldest son's family, nor does he have the time or inclination to pay attention to them.
Right now, she's completely focused on Third Master Jiang!
She waited until 7 PM before Fu Bao brought news from outside, saying that because her father had saved Qi Niangzi of Xiaoyao Tower, Qi Niangzi was willing to thank him without accepting a single penny and had a long talk with her father by candlelight!
Jiang Segu breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this result.
She didn't care at all how her father, who was always unsteady on his feet, managed to rescue Qi Niangzi!
As long as her father doesn't go to the Hidden Flower Pavilion, nothing else matters to her!
But if the father doesn't go, that woman won't just sit idly by and do nothing!
That woman is very shrewd!
Since she was able to come up with the idea of bribing Zhao Mama and persuading her mother to propose bringing her into the household, it's clear that her father hasn't given in yet!
Jiang Segu didn't delve into why Third Master Jiang hadn't taken Shaoyao as a concubine; his mind was preoccupied with what Shaoyao might do if his father didn't visit her for a few days.
She pondered for a moment.
He mentally reviewed the servants in the courtyard once more.
Although there were quite a few people in her courtyard, only three were truly useful: Mama Hou, Qiaolian, and Qiaohe.
Qiaohe did not intend to let her leave the manor to handle matters. Qiaolian was already overwhelmed with the task of secretly seeking medical treatment for her and inquiring about General Rongding.
Originally, she wanted Hou Mama's son to keep an eye on the peony, but the peony was a cunning flower grower. If it caused trouble for Hou Mama's son, it would be a great loss!
Then we'll have to let Mama Hou keep an eye on the peonies!
But even one person like Hou's mother isn't enough!
We can't expect Mother Hou to stay up all night guarding the Hidden Flower Pavilion.
Forget it, I'll just go ask my mother for two capable people!
One person is helping to keep an eye on Canghuage, and the other is going to make a trip to Shunde for her!
Since Qi Niangzi has already tied up her father, she should keep her word and help Qi Niangzi redeem the shop...
When Grandma Jiang heard her daughter ask her for help, she asked in bewilderment, "What do you need help for? Don't you have enough people in the yard to do?"
"Mother, I don't want to be waited on! I want two people who can help me out in the outside world!"
"Running around outside? If you need anything, just tell your mother, and she'll take care of it for you!"
Jiang Segu knew that her mother wouldn't give it to someone else easily, but luckily she had a plan!
“Mother can only help for a while, not forever! In a few months, I will be of marriageable age. According to the rules, I should be following in Mother’s footsteps to learn how to manage a household and finances…”
Grandma Jiang almost thought she had misheard!
She used to have her daughter learn housekeeping and financial management skills from her, but her daughter was not keen on learning these things and always said that if she learned them all, what would be the point of having people under her!
Has she really changed her personality now?
"Mother, how about you give me a shop so I can practice first? But let's make it clear first, you can only give guidance, not interfere!"
Oh, so the little girl was after the shop!
It's not impossible!
"Then I'll have Juan Niang go help you!"
"Oh dear, Mother! Are all the people in my daughter's courtyard idle? Just give me two reliable servants who can run errands, and as for the people in the shop, just use the old ones. There won't be any trouble! There's no need to use Juanniang!"
Grandma Jiang thought for a moment.
Too.
He then agreed to Jiang Segu's request.
"Then I'll let you practice at Qing Si Fang on Changxing Street..."
Qing Si Fang is a small jewelry shop.
My daughter enjoys dressing up and tinkering with these things in her spare time.
I don't expect her to make a name for herself, I just hope she can enter the path of enlightenment through this!
"...Also, Changping and Chang'an are allocated to you!"
Jiang Segu placed his hands flat in front of Grandma Jiang.
Grandma Jiang raised her eyebrows. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Segu smiled charmingly and said, "A contract of servitude! From now on, they're my people, so naturally the contract of servitude should be given to me!"
Grandma Jiang was both amused and exasperated. "I will personally send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow!"
Jiangse Valley, having achieved his goal, slept extremely soundly that night…
The next morning, Changping and Chang'an greeted Jiang Segu through a screen!
Changping was more honest than Chang'an.
After entering the house and greeting me, I kept my eyes down and didn't look around.
Chang'an, while looking down, had his eyes moving around very nimbly.
Jiang Segu, respecting their personalities, assigned tasks to the two of them.
He then reminded the two not to tell Grandma Jiang about this.
"...Now that your indentures are in my hands, you must know the rules! If I find out that you secretly leaked this matter to Third Madam, don't blame me for turning my back on you! Of course, if things go well, after I get married, you will be my most capable stewards!"
Chang'an's eyes lit up when he heard this!
A servant who doesn't aspire to be a head steward is no good servant!
Changping, however, frowned slightly.
He had heard that the Sixth Miss was very domineering in the inner courtyard and often caused trouble outside. Following such a master, even if she became the head steward, what good future could she have!
But he was just a servant and had no choice.
"Here is fifty taels of silver. Chang'an, take it and go with Madam Hou first. If you don't have enough silver, ask Madam Hou for more!"
Upon receiving the fifty taels of silver, Chang'an's small eyes widened as if they were copper coins.
My goodness!
This is the first time he's ever received so much money!
Chang'an followed Madam Hou with a greedy look on his face.
Jiang Segu gestured for Qiaohe to hand over five hundred taels of loose silver and two thousand taels of silver notes to Changping.
