On the morning of the second day, Nanny Zhou announced the candidate for the Foreign Affairs Nanny in front of everyone in Ziwei Courtyard.
It turned out to be Sister Niu and Nanny Liu.
Nanny Wei, who had been smiling, had her smile frozen on her face. Everyone looked at her in surprise. Of course, some were dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude yesterday and gloated over it.
Some nosy people even went up to Madam Zhou and asked, "Wasn't Madam Wei chosen yesterday? Why did they suddenly switch to Madam Liu?"
Nanny Zhou gathered her sleeves and glanced at the man expressionlessly: "Who is talking nonsense outside and trying to guess the master's thoughts? I don't remember any master ever promising a job to others." After saying this, she turned and left, leaving everyone whispering.
Nanny Wei's face turned red and white. She looked at Nanny Liu and Sister Niu who were surrounded by the crowd, then she snorted coldly and left.
When the excitement of the crowd died down, Madam Zhu winked at Madam Liu and went straight back to her room. Seeing this, Madam Liu exchanged a few more pleasantries with everyone, and waited until everyone had dispersed before quietly following them. When they arrived at Madam Zhu's room, Madam Liu was overjoyed and went up to her and bowed: "Madam Zhu is indeed a capable person. This time, it is all thanks to you for taking care of my sister."
Nanny Zhu smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Although I have put in some effort, I still need you to be presentable. You should know that the master above us is not someone who can be fooled easily." Nanny Zhu glanced at Nanny Liu again, "Since it's done, I wonder if you have the note..." This was a reminder for Nanny Liu to cash the twenty taels of silver.
Nanny Liu slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me, I'm just too happy." Then she took out a purse from her sleeve pocket, took out the note written by Nanny Zhu yesterday and handed it to her. Nanny Zhu just smiled and continued to stare at Nanny Liu's actions without saying a word.
When taking out the money, Madam Liu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and took out two gold ingots weighing about five taels each and handed them over respectfully.
Nanny Zhu looked at it but didn't take it. She glanced at Nanny Liu with a smile but didn't say anything.
Madam Liu smiled apologetically and said, "I don't have much cash on me..."
Nanny Zhu glanced at Nanny Liu's purse with a forced smile, then blocked her hand with her backhand. "I gave in yesterday. I helped you because you were such a straightforward person. Now it seems... well, I don't want the money anymore. But... don't forget, the final selection won't be made until after the New Year. Even if you want to burn bridges, isn't it a bit early?"
When Ma Liu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Then she clapped her hands together as if she remembered something and said, "Read this and remember it." Then she felt around her waist and somehow she took out a few silver coins weighing one or two taels each. She then held them in front of Ma Zhu together with the ten taels of silver she had taken out earlier.
"This is the money I hid in my belt to calm my nerves. I forgot about it. It's exactly five taels."
Nanny Zhu smiled slightly and then continued: "I really didn't make a mistake..."
At this moment, there was suddenly some noise at the door. Nanny Zhu frowned, put the silver into her sleeve, took a few steps forward, opened the door and looked out, but there was nothing.
"What's wrong? Is there someone outside?" Nanny Liu also came over.
Nanny Zhu thought for a moment and shook her head: "Just think of it as the wind. It's okay. You go back first."
Aunt Liu responded, and before leaving, she smiled and said, "If you need me again in the future, please don't forget me."
