Chapter 020 Blame It on My Damn Talent
When she came out of the old lady's yard, Yuchuan still felt a little dreamy.
She subconsciously grabbed Su Jin's arm with a look of surprise on her face.
"Madam, what's wrong with the old lady? Why is she suddenly on our side?"
He had been lectured the lady a while ago, but now he actually rewarded them with a hundred-year-old ginseng. In addition, he gave the position vacated by Mrs. Liu to Su Jin.
Ah, no, it was not given to Su Jin, but to ask Su Jin to arrange someone to take over Liu Pozi's position.
Isn't this equivalent to letting Su Jin arrange his own staff in the mansion?
You know, Su Jin has been married for so many years, and Zou has never let Su Jin interfere in the management of the affairs of the mansion. Now she has actually given up power?
What does this mean?
This means that the eldest lady in their family has finally made it and can finally be proud of herself, hahaha!
The more Yuchuan thought about it, the happier she became. Her face was full of smiles. Even Jinchuan was very happy. Everyone in Liuting Pavilion had a happy and proud look on their face. Only Su Jin was not in a good mood at all.
It’s all my own damn talent that I can’t hide even if I want to.
Alas, it still goes as the saying goes, gold will shine.
But fortunately, since there are policies from above, can't we also come up with countermeasures?
As soon as Su Jin returned to the courtyard, she arranged for a literate and capable maid to replace Mrs. Liu.
Before leaving, she whispered, "You have to be careful when it comes to getting your share. First, set a time and have everyone come together to get it so you don't get gossiped about. Second, remember the income and expenditure clearly, and the people who receive it must sign one by one. You must not make any mistakes here."
Mrs. Wang agreed repeatedly, feeling surprised in her heart, when did the lady become so meticulous?
But this is a good thing. At least I won’t fall into the superficial trap of some people in the future.
Soon, Wang Po took office and became the first person to walk out of Liuting Pavilion.
In the remaining time, Su Jin asked all the maids and servants in the yard to learn to read and write.
The maids and old women didn't understand what Su Jin meant, but they just did what the mistress said seriously.
Since this incident, the maids and servants in the mansion finally began to be grateful to Su Jin.
Because Su Jin did not reduce their monthly wages, but only reduced their share, it became clear that they were instigated by Mrs. Liu and misunderstood the innocent and kind-hearted lady.
After all, although they signed a contract to sell themselves, it was also for a living. If they really wanted to reduce their monthly wages, they would definitely make a fuss. Now, everyone's monthly wages remain the same, but the share of each courtyard has been reduced. Naturally, they will not resent Su Jin, and they have to praise the lady for her kindness and consideration for them, the servants.
"Madam, you are really beautiful and kind-hearted!"
"We have misunderstood the lady before. She is a good person!"
"That old woman Liu is a piece of shit. She has withheld the share of several people and even slandered our mistress."
"Yes, yes, it's all Granny Liu's fault."
The servants all praised Su Jin, especially the concubines, who thought Su Jin was a very good person. A halving of their share was the same as no reduction at all, after all, their things had always been withheld by Lin Wanhui.
So after this series of operations, Su Jin gained a lot of good guy cards.
But Lin Xiaoniang was in a terrible situation. Her share was not reduced by just half, but by much more.
The maid who is in charge of the allowances now came from Su Jin's courtyard. She is very strict and has the final say. Moreover, everyone receives the allowances together. She can't do anything she wants to do. She can only watch her allowance go from being very generous to being pitifully small.
Seeing that her things were getting less and less, Lin Wanhui couldn't hold it in any longer.
"This Su Jin! How come he can't sit still after getting such a small amount of power? He's already meddling in my affairs and plotting against me?"
Lin Wanhui was cursing in the room, and Madam Li frowned and said, "Didn't they say that the servants' monthly wages would not be reduced by half? Why is this old servant's monthly salary only 500 coins? It was clearly one tael of silver a month before."
When Lin Wanhui heard that Mother Li's monthly allowance was reduced by half, she immediately jumped up and asked, "Is it really reduced?"
"Girl, look!"
Mother Li pointed at the money she had just received. Wasn’t it half less?
Lin Wanhui was like she had discovered a new world. She jumped up and pulled Mother Li out, "Let's go and talk to the master. I'm bullying me by deducting your monthly salary. This matter is not over yet!"
After Mrs. Liu was beaten and driven out of the mansion, Lin Wanhui had been holding a grudge against her, and now she finally found an opportunity for revenge.
She said that Su Jin didn't know how to manage the household and would be exposed sooner or later. Look, hasn't she got the chance now?
Lin Wanhui proudly took Mother Li to Gu Changqing to complain.
But she was also very smart. She did not mention this matter directly, but asked someone to bring some nourishing things and deliver them to Gu Changqing's yard.
"Husband!"
Lin Wanhui is gentle and weak. She is a few years younger than Su Jin and is good at coaxing people. In Lin Wanhui's eyes, Gu Changqing is handsome and handsome, and the only son of Marquis Yong'an. Apart from the fact that he does not hold a high official position, he is truly a perfect man.
"What did you take?"
Lin Wanhui smiled and said, "It's not for my husband."
"Oh? Who is that for? Besides me, who else in the mansion can you serve like this?"
Lin Wanhui sighed deliberately, "This is for Granny Sun. She was beaten by my sister. I thought my sister would remember that she was from my husband's courtyard and would be less harsh on her, but she still beat her too hard. Since my sister didn't come, I'll bring some things for her."
"Su Jin beat up someone in my yard?"
Gu Changqing never asked about or cared about the affairs of the rear house, let alone cared about what a maid did.
However, since it was Su Jin who hit her, he had to think about whether Su Jin was playing some new trick to attract his attention.
After all, it’s not like Su Jin hasn’t done this before. He bullied Lin Wanhui and jumped around in the mansion before. Wasn’t it just to attract his attention?
Gu Changqing frowned slightly.
Lin Wanhui said, "Husband, don't be angry. Even if my sister was wrong, it's all in the past. Husband, don't get angry and hurt yourself."
"You dare to hit my people, this will never pass!"
"Oh, my husband, my sister is in charge of the yard now. Even the people here are under her care. My maid's monthly salary has been reduced by half, and I dare not say anything."
"What? This Su Jin, if she can't manage the household, then she doesn't need to be a housekeeper. Now that she has made the house so messy, she might as well just ignore it!"
Okay, the evidence is conclusive. It was Su Jin who wanted to win favor, so she caused so many troubles. First, she beat the maid in her own yard, and then she withheld the monthly wages of Wanhui's servants. Su Jin, you are becoming more and more annoying!
"No, I'm going to find my mother now!"
Looking at Gu Changqing's angry back, Lin Wanhui smiled triumphantly and chased after him: "Husband, wait for me~"
