Qiao Yunting only stayed at home for one more day before he went to take up his post with more than a hundred personal guards and the guards of the Qiao Mansion.
It's not that he didn't want to stay longer, but Emperor Wu was urging him to stay. The regulars in Jiangcheng's class were gradually getting out of control. The situation was serious and urgent, and someone was needed urgently to take charge of the situation.
Otherwise, it would take about half a month just to hand over a job. He could also eat the delicious food made by his mother at home every day, so why would he need to rush forward like this?
Everyone in the Qiao Mansion became inexplicably busy. The servants could not think that far ahead. They only knew that their Third Master had been promoted again. He used to manage only one army, but now he was going to Jiangcheng to manage both military and political affairs. He became a person who had the final say.
No matter where he goes, he is the local dictator who has the final say!
The key point is that his third master is only in his early twenties. This is probably the first honor among all the noblemen in Beijing.
Everyone was guessing who the Third Master would bring with him this time?
Butler Yu has received a lot of filial piety these days, all of which were trying to get information from him openly or secretly. Some even asked him to loosen up and arrange for someone in his family to serve the Third Master so that they could have a better future.
I won’t accept any gifts, and I’ve already said what I should say!
"Jiangcheng is not peaceful at the moment. When the Third Master goes there, he will first quell the unrest. You can go if you want, but just serving others is not enough.
"Look at your arms and legs. Are they strong? Do you know how to fight, ride and shoot? Can you read and do the math? At least you can cook, right? Don't let the time pass when you can't help us and hold me back. I advise you to give up this opportunistic idea as soon as possible!"
Butler Yu's lecture discouraged some people from wanting to curry favor with him, but it could not extinguish the ambitions of some young men in the mansion to make achievements.
There are only three masters in the mansion. The first and second masters have established their own teams, but the third master has no other staff besides some personal guards. The place where he worked before was close to the old lady, and the old lady helped him take care of everything.
But now the Third Master has officially gone solo, and has become a big shot in charge of a region just like the First and Second Masters. So it would not be appropriate to let the Old Lady go with him to manage the rear quarters.
It is imperative to add more staff.
The first group of people who followed him might become the senior figures in the Third Master's house in the future, so their relationship would be extraordinary! If you don't seize this opportunity now, you will lose this shop in the future.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Qiao Xin asked the eldest brother's wife to help Qiao Yunting select relevant accompanying personnel, and the competition was extremely fierce!
There were more than a dozen people competing for the position of a groom, and the most intense competition was for the four maids.
Xu felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking of the Qiao family's rules, she hesitated for a moment and went to Qiao Xin to explain the situation, "Mom, more than 20 people are competing for these four places!"
Qiao Xin gathered all the people in the mansion together, looked at the gorgeous girls below with a stern look, and said: "The candidates have been basically decided. Only the four maids around the third brother have not been determined. I gathered everyone together today to emphasize again that when you are with any master in the Qiao Mansion, you just need to do your job well and don't cause trouble.
Remember the house rules for me, don't say you didn't know this or that when you make a mistake! I won't listen to any excuses.
It's a good thing that so many people want to serve the Third Brother, but as maids, they have given up the idea of climbing up the ladder to a higher position. The mother is honored by her son, and the concubine is promoted? Haha, don't disgust me!
Which gentleman can't control his lower body and do something dirty with the people around him. I won't say anything more, just ask to leave the clan."
The new servants were in an uproar. They had thought that the family rules of the Qiao family were just for show to outsiders.
I didn’t expect the old lady to take it seriously!
Qiao Yunting stepped forward and held Qiao Xin's arm and said, "Mother, we are going to do some work, not to enjoy ourselves. We will not bring any unnecessary people with us for the time being. There is no need to choose a maid. The servants and personal guards are enough. The eldest and second sisters-in-law will help take care of the house. When I have a wife in the future, I can leave everything to her. Why would I need to rely on others?"
"Well, you can do whatever you want, but I still have to say what I need to say. I'll be frank with you so you don't get into trouble and then try to make excuses in front of me."
"Haha, how could that be? If I like someone, I will definitely bring that person to you first. I can still show my respect to my son."
Qiao Xin turned her attention to her two daughters-in-law: "As the mistresses of the house, you should show your grandmother's generosity and control the people around you. If you don't follow the rules, it means I don't take you seriously. Why don't I deal with you and keep you for the New Year? We don't need servants with bad intentions who bully the master in our house!"
Qiao Xin looked at the two daughters-in-law with downcast brows and sighed secretly.
As their sons became more and more powerful, Xu and Zhang still couldn't resist the rumors outside. When they went out, many people would talk about their backgrounds. Maybe they could ignore it once or twice, but after so many times, they wondered if they didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Big brother, second brother's wife, you should also pack up your things and go spend the New Year with your husbands!"
"Mom, how can this be possible? Who will take care of you if we all leave?"
"What are you asking me to do? Am I blind or have a broken leg? Are all the maids and servants in this mansion just eating for free? I have the final say in this matter. You go back and clean up. The eldest and the second are settled now. There must be someone to help them take care of the backyard. What are you doing staying here with me all day long?"
