Putting aside the original list, these days, with the help of Xiaoji's family, she has gone through all the decent people in the Wen family.

The people who want it and can get it have already been decided.

But this was just her wishful thinking! Given Wu's attitude, it would not be that easy.

After thinking for a long time, he drafted another one.

This time, she betrothed one of the older maids to Lijuan, the eldest granddaughter of Nanny Song, who was by the old lady's side.

Lijuan'er was very pretty and could have been a first-class maid serving the ladies or the girls.

But Wu was afraid that she would be seen by her husband if she was out every day. If he really liked her, she would be in his room with Nanny Song behind her. So she was arranged to manage the cloth warehouse in the back. The monthly salary was not bad, but the work was not much. Nanny Song was also worried that the second master would like his granddaughter. Although she was not satisfied with this arrangement, she knew there was no better way.

However, how could a pretty girl not want to be with the lady and the lady? There were many people who shared the same ideal as Xiaoji! Another candidate for the eldest maid was Qinghe, the granddaughter of the old master. This branch of her family did not go with the old master, but the old lady could not easily move! The one who helped manage the affairs was the second grandson who was in charge of the old lady's dowry. Another one was the youngest son of the manager of the general warehouse in the mansion.

There was no way Wu would give these people to her! As expected, when the list was handed over, Wu almost laughed out of anger!

Great! She wants to win over the people around the old lady, the old master, the chief housekeeper, and the people in charge of the warehouse! Little girl, you are so greedy! In addition, what's the meaning of letting Li Juaner out? Are you playing tricks on me? ! "Wen Yu...what can I say about you! The old lady said that she would assign a few people to you, but you want to take over the Wen family! How interesting!" Wu's voice was shrill and she threw the list directly to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu quickly took it and looked at it in confusion: "Ah?! Second Aunt, this, isn't it?! I asked everyone in the family who is in charge of various matters, but it's not here!"

"If they are not in charge, they are not important people? They each have their own things to do! Humph! I can't talk to you about this, no!"

"Then tell Yu'er who are the right people? Where should we find them?" Wen Yu was helpless as she held the list.

"You can go by yourself! I'm busy!"

Wen Yu's face turned bad, "Second Aunt, if you say that, Yu'er will have to trouble the old lady again!"

"Are you using the old lady to pressure me?" Wu looked at Wen Yu intimidatingly.

"Yu'er dare not! Second Aunt, it's just a matter between a few people, can you please show some mercy? I'm so dizzy and confused now that I don't know where to start!"

"That's your own business. It has nothing to do with me!" Mrs. Wu ignored her.

At this time, Mother Wu came in and said, "Madam, our second daughter is getting ready to go out."

"Well, who's going with you?"

"Qiu Er that girl."

"Well... tell her to go straight and come back directly, don't turn. Let Guo Qiang bring someone to follow!"

"Yes." Mother Wu didn't look at Wen Yu from beginning to end.

After Mother Wu left, Mrs. Wu remembered something and asked coldly, "Wen Yu, I heard that a few days ago, your third sister wanted you to make some osmanthus cake for her, but you refused to do it and spoke harshly?"

"Second Aunt, Yu'er didn't agree to do it. But she didn't say anything unpleasant!"

"Oh? What's wrong with you? Why don't you want to do it?" Mrs. Wu had a mocking look on her face. It turned out that she thought that her father had been promoted and Wen Yu was so proud!

Should you behave yourself this time?

"Second Aunt..." Wen Yu was a little embarrassed.

"Speak!"

"If Third Sister wanted to eat it, why wouldn't Yu'er make it? It's just that... Third Sister wanted to give it to Miss Zhao."

"What does it have to do with you who she wants to send you?"

Mrs. Wu stood there with her eyes fixed and her neck stiffened. She looked so powerful! Really, you don't see her like this on weekdays! "Well... maybe Yu'er is overthinking it. That Miss Zhao kept talking about her brother in front of the third sister. She also said that her brother loved to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake the most and wanted to bring it back to him. Yu'er felt... it was not appropriate!"

After hearing this, Wu agreed with him seriously, but she still said, "Young girls are just chatting while eating snacks and drinking tea. You are just imagining nonsense. Okay, go back and fill in the roster! I'm busy!"

She started to work, and Wen Yu had to go back.

This time, she added the first two lists together, made some changes, and sent it to Wu again.

Wu was harassed by her repeatedly and was in a bad mood. She lost her temper after just a few glances. "Wen Yu, what's wrong with you? I just rejected it, why are you still writing like this?!"

"Second Aunt, I changed it and deleted a lot of it. I also replaced it with a new batch. Can you take another look?!"

"I don't have time to read it, go back and rewrite it!"

"Second Aunt, how about you tick off these and give me the rest?!"

"Haha, you can make the decision yourself, why are you asking me?!"

"Second Aunt!" Wen Yu also became anxious: "If you don't do it today, I won't leave. Otherwise, I will go to my grandmother to ask for the person!"

"Haha, who are you trying to scare? The door is there, just go!" Mrs. Wu got angry and screamed!

"What's going on?!" Wen Feng came in with a sullen face.

"Oh! It's my second uncle who's back!" Wen Yu saluted with a sweet smile.

Mrs. Wu saw her husband coming back and quickly stood up. "You're back!"

Her ability to change her face is really amazing. In an instant, she can transform from a mean and ugly shrew into a gentle and generous housewife.

"What's the matter? You're so rude, and you're so naughty..." Wen Feng was feeling particularly upset these days and got angry.

"Uncle! I'm sorry!" Wen Yu apologized sweetly, "Grandma asked me to recruit a few people from Aunt, and Aunt asked me to write a name list. I've written it three times, and Aunt said it's not possible, but she didn't say why... and she even yelled at me!" Wen Yu wiped her tears pretending to be aggrieved, but she had a smile on her face.

Wen Feng had unlimited patience with good-looking women. He looked at Wen Yu with pleasing eyes and pointed at her: "Haha, you little girl!"

He turned to his wife, impatiently: "If mother told her to give it to someone else, you should just give it to her. Why embarrass a little girl like her?"

“I…”

"Okay! Come on. I have something else to say."

Wu had no choice but to take the list again. After a quick look, she realized that she had been the housekeeper for many years and knew everything about the people, affairs and finances.

Without further delay, he picked up the pen and wrote: "Cross out these few, and the rest..." After a moment's thought, he counted the number of people and said, "I'll give all of these to you! The family won't have to bear the monthly salary for the few who are in charge of your property."

"Of course! But their body contracts must be given to Yu'er..." Wen Yu said.

"Hey! You..." Mrs. Wu wanted to continue scolding, but Wen Feng was sitting there, and she really didn't want to let her husband see this. So she called Mrs. Wu over and handed her the paper. "Find the indentures of these people and give them to her!"

She rolled her eyes and said, "You are still short of a senior maid, so send Xiangshu over there as well." There was a second-class maid by her side, and there was no place to place her.

"Okay, Second Aunt. Yu'er is still missing a big girl!"

"How come?"

"It's like this, Hongdou beside me is not a maid. Her mother was my mother's female companion, and she didn't have a birth contract. This time my uncle came back and recognized her as his adopted daughter. She is my godsister, not a maid anymore. Her name is Yanzhu now!"

"What a mess!"

"Yanzhu is not a slave!"

Hongdou still belongs to Yanzhu. Wu really has no impression of the fact that there is no indenture, and has never paid attention to it. "I need to ask the old lady about this. If that Zhu is not a slave, then there must be an explanation for her being by your side!"

"Yes! Second Aunt. After the property is taken over, Yu'er will let her out."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Mrs. Wu didn't want to care about this anymore. "You have to pay for the carriage you want to use, the people you want to go with, and all the expenses!"

"Of course. But Second Aunt, Yu'er hasn't bought a new one yet. Can you use the one at home first and return it to the family when you have bought one?"

"That's it for now. I'll give the order."

"Thank you, Second Aunt! You're so kind!" Wen Yu smiled with her face full of flowers.

Wen Feng laughed, "Oh, Yu girl is really good! She is good at splitting weights and making up for each other, quite capable..."

"Yu'er learned this from Second Aunt these days!"

Seeing her husband happy, Wu's mood also improved. "Okay, take the contract back first! We can talk later if there's anything else!"

Wen Yu heaved a sigh of relief and followed Mother Wu to the next room.

Wen Feng looked at Wen Yu's back, stroked his chin, and asked his wife, "Have the old lady and eldest brother discussed her marriage? The Thousand-year-old King Wu will also come to the Tianlong Temple celebration in a few days. His eldest son has not yet married."

Mrs. Wu felt sour in her heart, "Yu girl is pretty. But, her fate..."

"Hey, isn't the shadowy thing broken?"

"But our family is not even worthy of a royal palace!"

"If you can't be the principal wife, you can be a concubine! I am a wife! I heard that before the New Year, the King of Wu will return to Beijing to spend the New Year with His Majesty..." The prince is not in good health. King of Wu, for so many years, you have the Queen, money and people... Who knows, you will have a bright future!

If that day really comes, what's wrong with being a concubine? What's wrong with being a concubine? They will still rise to prominence!

"Husband, with such a good opportunity, why don't you think about our daughter?" Mrs. Wu complained appropriately...

"Jiao'er's color is not as good as Wenyu's."

"Master, our daughter takes after you and looks no worse than Wen Yu!"

"Tsk! What do you know?! Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. Do you understand? Do you understand and I understand?!" He rolled his eyes at his wife. "If a person is beautiful, you don't even need to look at the face! You can tell by the voice and the manners! Just look at the two steps Wen Yu took just now, Wen Huan can't compare to her!"

Wu was not convinced, "Before we go to the capital, I will hire a good nanny for my daughter, and she will be fine once she teaches her!"

"I just said you don't understand. This is not something you can learn, it's something you have in your bones, right? You get tired of looking at superficial beauties after seeing them too many times. When a person gets old and ugly, you don't even want to look at them. It has to be interesting inside to last! Take that Liu, she's just so-so in appearance, but you don't know that she..."

Wen Feng was so excited that he blurted out...

"Master!" Wu blushed and pulled her handkerchief.

Wen Feng coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed...

"Ahem, I've strayed off topic. I'm telling you, Jiao girl, find someone who is close to your family and useful, and whose talents are similar to yours. It would be great to use her as a marriage ally to bring the two families closer together. There's no great use for her!"

"Master!" He was talking about his own daughter, how unpleasant it was! "Alright, alright! It's not pleasant to hear, but it's the truth. If it's that high, she can't sit still, and it's not enough to cause trouble!" Wen Feng was actually clear-headed.

But these remarks made Wu angry, "Master, I don't accept your words about Jiao'er."

This wife rarely talks back to him like this.

Wen Feng didn't care, "If you don't understand, go ask the old lady!"
