Her path to establishing herself in the Marquis's mansion was far from as smooth as Jiang Shuwan's.
Madam Pei stared at Jiang Shuwan, her heart bubbling with jealousy.
That's because I understand the mindset of us working-class people!
Jiang Shuguan silently complained in his heart.
What we working people are after is money and a future.
She was rich and generous, and even hired people to teach her servants to read and do accounting.
In modern terms, this means providing free vocational training to employees so they can see their future career prospects.
Everyone felt that following her meant wealth and a future, so who wouldn't work hard!
The matriarch of the household, seemingly holding the indentures of the servants, could do whatever she wanted.
The servants must be loyal to her.
In reality, people can easily fake things like hard work and loyalty.
If you want your servants to truly work hard and be truly loyal to you.
You have to give them something in return.
In the end, the inner quarters of ancient times were not much different from the modern workplace.
It's all about manipulating people's hearts and fighting for territory and interests.
If you want to win people's hearts and have everyone follow you, you must make sacrifices.
You have to give up something to gain something.
As a working-class person, she treats her subordinates exceptionally well, whether in modern times or here.
"Grandma, I've filled in the fish pond for you."
After Jiang Shuwan finished speaking, she directed the servants to fill the fish pond and then had all the weeds, wild grasses, and shrubs in Madam Pei's courtyard pulled up.
Humans have never conquered mosquitoes.
Her modern villa is a top-tier luxury villa with top-notch property management.
Top-tier flowers, plants, and trees.
It's still completely useless. If you don't close the window in the summer, the mosquitoes will bite her to death.
She used to be skeptical and planted mosquito-repelling plants.
As it turns out, it was completely useless!
Where there is water and grass, there will inevitably be mosquitoes.
Nothing I planted worked.
No matter how expensive the house is, it's useless.
Comparing her own courtyard to the old lady Pei's, Jiang Shuwan renovated the courtyard.
The elderly woman was unsteady on her feet, so she didn't lay out pebbles.
The entire surface was paved with small bluestone slabs, with anti-slip strips marked on them.
It's not slippery even when it rains.
Of course, she also paved a small area with pebbles.
The stones chosen were all about the size of a finger, round and without sharp edges, and were laid out sparsely and neatly.
Walking barefoot on the ground can massage the soles of your feet, improve blood circulation, and promote overall health.
"Young mistress, you're so thoughtful."
Watching Jiang Shuwan bustling about inside and out, Mrs. Chang was filled with emotion.
Jiang Shuwan's concern for Madam Pei was comprehensive and meticulous.
Let alone a granddaughter-in-law who is not related by blood.
Even her own granddaughter might not do as well as she did.
“Wan is a good girl.”
Madam Pei nodded secretly, feeling extremely satisfied with Jiang Shuwan.
She had originally thought that while the imperial examinations were important, the succession of the marquis's family was of paramount importance.
Jiang Shuwan is obedient and intelligent; it would be a good day to give her a great-grandchild.
After seeing the bloody data compiled by Jiang Shuwan, she was no longer in a hurry to hold her great-grandchildren.
Jiang Shuwan is still young, there's no rush to have children.
For Jiang Shuwan, the power of housekeeping is the most important thing.
However, the Wen family has recently been managing the household inside and out so meticulously that there is not a single mistake.
Even she couldn't directly let Jiang Shuwan interfere with the management of the household.
Therefore, we can only wait and see if there is a suitable opportunity.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shuwan was unaware that the old lady had taken a step closer to her and had begun to plan for her future.
She had just returned from the Sun residence.
A few days ago, the Wen family gave her some palace flowers.
She couldn't wear them all herself, so she gave two to Sun Wanwan.
She had just returned from dinner at the Sun residence and had just entered the courtyard when she encountered the hurried Milk Brother.
"Miss, you're finally back! Our milk tea shop is full of merchants from the West Market, waiting for your decision."
"Determine? Determine what?"
Jiang Shuwan was completely baffled by these words.
What was her relationship with the merchants of the West Market?
And you even sat down in her shop?
"Miss, you don't know this, but ever since the Lantern Festival opened in our West Market, these merchants have made a fortune."
"Especially the milk tea and barbecue street where our shop is located, it's really popular all over Beijing."
Brother Nai excitedly recounted the bustling scene of the milk tea and barbecue street during the lantern festival.
The lantern festival lasted for fifteen days, and the milk tea street was a hit for fifteen days as well.
The milk tea street used to be quite famous, attracting people from all over the country.
But the Lantern Festival is the most lively time of the year.
Men, women, and children from all over the capital flocked to the West Market.
If the milk tea street was once only known to a small group of people in Beijing.
Now, thanks to the publicity from the lantern festival, it has truly become a sensation throughout the entire capital!
It has reached the point where everyone knows it and is familiar with it.
"Miss, our milk tea street is incredibly popular."
"It's not much different from Suzaku Street."
Jiang Shuwan believed these words.
She goes out to play every year during the lantern festival.
This year's lantern festival was held in Xishi, and since three of her shops are located in Xishi, she naturally went to visit.
The lantern festival was packed with people; when she went, she couldn't squeeze in at all.
Especially the street where they sell milk tea and barbecue skewers, it's packed with people, and the lines are incredibly long.
Unable to squeeze in, she found a private seat in a teahouse, where she and Sun Wanwan enjoyed tea and snacks while watching talented men and beautiful women solve riddles.
I found it very interesting.
Qingxing also had a lot of fun, but Jiang Shuwan didn't go anymore after that.
There were too many people, and she was too lazy to squeeze through the crowd. On the contrary, Qingxing invited Xiaotao, Chunjiao, Meixue and other young girls to go several times.
As Brother Nai spoke of the lantern festival, Qingxing was also filled with excitement.
