Upon hearing this, Wen's heart sank.
What did the old lady ask Jiang Shi?
Is it possible that the position of head nanny is going to be given to Lady Jiang?
The third and fourth wives also understood the old lady's implied meaning, and their eyes widened.
Is the old lady so fond of her nephew's wife that she was given the position of head nanny as soon as she entered the house?
The servants in the room were also astonished.
The head maid and the storeroom maid, in particular, had a rough idea of what the old lady was going to talk about today.
But unexpectedly, they bypassed their wives and went directly to ask the young mistress.
There are only three positions for head nannies, how can we give them up so easily?
The head maid and the storeroom maid were extremely anxious.
"Madam," Madam Wen couldn't help but speak up, "Madam, I think..."
Madam Pei turned around and gave him a murderous look.
It was only because she gave Wen Shi face; otherwise, her words, "I asked you a question, and you interrupted," would have humiliated Wen Shi to death on the spot.
"..."
Wen gritted her teeth; she should shut up.
But the thought of giving the position of head nanny to Jiang Shuwan made her feel heartbroken.
Pretending not to understand Madam Pei's gaze, Madam Wen said, "Madam, Madam Jiang never managed a household when she was a young lady at home. How would she know who is suitable to sit in the position of head lady of etiquette?"
As she spoke, Madam Wen glanced at Jiang Shuwan. Old Madam Pei was so biased towards Jiang Shuwan, and she was afraid that Jiang Shuwan would suddenly jump out and say that someone in her room could take on a great responsibility.
“What you say is true, my wife. I have never managed a household before. How can I make such a big decision?”
Hearing Jiang Shuwan say this, Madam Wen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little rascal still had some self-awareness.
Then I heard a clear voice.
"However, I would like to recommend someone. I think no one in our family is more suitable to be the head of etiquette than her."
Who is it?
"Who's so amazing?"
Before Madam Pei and Madam Wen could ask, the third and fourth wives were already intrigued.
The original head nanny was a member of the Wen family, and the Wen family made her the head nanny in order to seize power.
But the etiquette matrons are indeed quite skilled; they've done a very good job over the years.
Anyway, she hasn't made any major mistakes, otherwise Old Madam Pei wouldn't have let her sit in the position of head nanny for more than 20 years.
“Aunt Chang!” Jiang Shuwan pointed to Aunt Chang behind Madam Pei.
Just as Madam Chang was about to hand a hand warmer to Old Madam Pei, she suddenly became the center of everyone's attention and froze.
"I?"
She knew that Madam Pei was going to talk about the etiquette matrons today, and she had even asked who would get the position of head matron.
The old lady didn't reply, so she didn't ask anymore.
Anyway, it's none of her business; they're either Jiang Shuwan's people or Wen's people.
But how did it suddenly become her?
Madam Wen was also stunned. She thought Jiang Shuwan would recommend her own people, but she didn't expect her to recommend the old lady's people.
The third and fourth wives shook their heads and sighed.
My nephew's wife is too honest. When the old lady asks you, just recommend your own people.
What a great opportunity, and it just slipped away like that.
Qingxing was also extremely anxious.
Why did you recommend Mama Chang, Miss? Why not someone from your own circle?
She definitely can't do it; she's still a long way from being a head nanny.
But Granny Tao is capable; she comes from a family of maids, so she has both qualifications and experience.
Qingxing was extremely anxious, but she had no say in the conversation and could only frantically worry in her heart.
"Is that not allowed?"
Jiang Shuwan looked at the ladies in the room. The young girl blinked her eyes, looking very innocent. "I heard that Mama Chang used to be a nanny in the palace. Does that mean Mama Chang is not good enough?"
OK!!
How could it not work!
That's absolutely amazing!
The key is that such an important position as the head nanny should be something that everyone wants to take for themselves, so why is someone trying to push it away?
The third and fourth wives exchanged a knowing glance.
My nephew's wife is so naive.
"That's right. If this opportunity fell into my hands, I would immediately promote one of my own people."
My nephew's wife is so naive.
Good heavens! This naive niece-in-law is going to be tormented by her sister-in-law in the future...
Both wives felt that Jiang Shuwan's future was worrying.
A cold glint and a hint of smugness flashed in Wen's eyes.
She said, "That little brat has eaten less rice than I have salt, and she still wants to compete with me."
Ha! Sure enough, before she even made a move, the little girl had already exposed her ignorance and stupidity.
Such a great opportunity, instead of seizing it, you're pushing it away...
That's so stupid!
Madam Wen tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and leaned towards Old Madam Pei. "Old Madam, there is a steward under my daughter-in-law surnamed Zhang. She previously became the godmother of the ceremonial nanny who accompanied my daughter-in-law during her dowry. Her manners and etiquette are excellent."
"She has a knack for managing people. After the etiquette nanny left, she took charge of the etiquette and rules of the maids and servants in the house. She didn't make a single mistake. My wife thinks it's just right to promote her to head nanny."
Madam Pei seemed somewhat displeased that Jiang Shuwan hadn't seized the opportunity, and she leaned slightly towards Madam Wen, asking curiously, "Which Steward Zhang?"
Madam Wen quickly instructed the head maid to reply.
She was in charge of personnel and was most familiar with the backgrounds of the servants in the household.
The head maid quickly explained all of Steward Zhang's background.
In short, given her family background as a servant of the Marquis's household, her manners and etiquette are decent, and she's a mid-level manager, making her the most suitable candidate for promotion.
"Old Madam, didn't you always want your daughter-in-law to recommend a servant from a marquis's household to be your head nanny?" Madam Wen secretly glanced at Madam Pei's expression.
She felt confident of winning this time.
After all, Madam Pei was always unhappy because she had given all three positions of head maid to herself as part of her dowry.
This time, she took the initiative to offer to become the head nanny after giving birth to a child, and Old Madam Pei had no reason to refuse.
Madam Pei did not refuse. She raised an eyebrow and looked her over. "You've come to your senses now?"
She had said it many times before, but Wen always pretended not to hear it.
Wen's face immediately turned bright red, whether from humiliation or shame, it was hard to tell.
But it doesn't matter, she can have the position of head nanny.
Moreover, since the Zhang family members were born into the family, she not only promoted her own people but also showed other born into the family that following her would also lead to a better future. This way, the other born into the family wouldn't all side with Jiang Shuwan.
It's possible that all the servants Jiang Shuwan used to subdue will come back to fawn over her.
Those lackeys, just wait and see how she deals with them!
Especially those in charge of the kitchen and sewing room.
They must be skinned alive!
Wen clutched the Buddhist prayer beads, thinking bitterly.
"Does Madam also have someone she recommends? Anyone Madam recommends must be good."
Ha ha!
The foolish wife is still speaking up for her.
So all that cleverness and wit at yesterday's clan banquet was just a flash in the pan.
As expected, she overestimated Jiang Shi!
What experience or ability does a little girl like her have to fight her?
Overestimating your abilities!
"However, could the Manager Zhang recommended by Madam be the same Manager Zhang who bullies people everywhere just because he's a mid-level manager?"
