In the East Nuan Pavilion of Baylor Mansion, after the banquet in the palace, Guar Jiayinan finally returned to Baylor Mansion. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face as soon as she came back. As soon as Wanyue entered her room, she
Seeing her with her head raised and talking to Aunt Gui with a smile, she was sitting down on a chair in the room, letting the servants beat her legs leisurely, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
Seeing the expression on her face, Wanyue knew that it must be that while she was in the palace, her mother-in-law Yi Fei specially comforted her and said many kind words to comfort her.
After Aunt Gui reminded her that Fujin was coming, Guar Jiayinan withdrew her gaze, raised her hand and dismissed the maids who were beating their legs, straightened her body, and prepared to stand up to greet him.
Wanyue stepped forward to salute Guar Jia Yinan and said hello. When she saw that she was about to get up, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and reached out to hold Guar Jia Yinan's arm. While looking at her, she said respectfully: "This one is in charge of the inner house for my sister.
Over the past month, my sister has really felt that she is very stupid. She has a headache looking at those accounts, and she often has to calculate them several times before she can figure them out. It really makes me exhausted. I feel like I have lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, my sister is finally relieved.
Now, I can return the power of running the family and these account books to my sister."
Wanyue's words seemed to be mocking her own incompetence, but only Grandma Wang and Yu Zhi in her room knew how skillfully she handled the account books.
Guar Jiayinan was taken aback, then smiled, "Don't worry, sister, practice makes perfect. In fact, you can just ask Butler Yan to deliver the account books tomorrow."
Guar Jia Yinan turned her head and glanced at Wanyue. Although she had doubts about Wanyue, she saw that Wanyue's brows and eyes were gentle, and she did not look like a heavy-minded person.
As long as the concubines in this house have children that do not affect her future children's status as legitimate heirs, she will not embarrass them unduly.
The two of them walked to the table where Wanyue kept the account books. Guar Jiayinan picked up one of the account books and looked at it. The handwriting in the last month was a little crooked and very irregular, making it difficult for her to recognize it.
Hard work.
Wanyue stood beside her, looking at the handwriting on the account book, and said to Guar Jiayinan with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, my direct descendant, Fujin. My handwriting is really unsightly, and it's hard to be elegant."
Tang, I'm embarrassing you."
Guar Jiayinan frowned slightly. She stared at the account books. After waiting for a while, she said softly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the records are correct. It's just my sister. I'd better practice calligraphy more in the future."
After hearing this, Wanyue had to pretend to smile, "What my sister said is that my sister must practice calligraphy diligently."
Wanyue stayed quietly for a long time. It was not until Aunt Gui accidentally yawned at her that she felt relieved: she could finally go back to her room. It was really tiring to pretend to be ignorant here.
"Looking at it like this, it's almost the end of the day? I didn't expect that I've been staying in my sister's room for almost an hour, and I don't want to disturb my sister anymore."
Guar Jiayinan raised his head and looked at her tired look, feeling full of contempt in his heart. He also felt that this was fine, as long as she, the direct descendant of Fujin, was smart in the house.
"Then sister, please go back first." She raised her hand to signal to Wanyue, and Wanyue withdrew knowingly.
Not a moment later, outside the Zhengyang Gate of the capital, Grandma Wang, with a smile on her face, was giving instructions to a woman who was about twenty years old and slightly slim.
"You did a good job on your errand. Are you feeling better? Our lady specially gave you double the reward, which is enough for your family to live for more than twenty years."
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved. Ever since she was a child, no one had ever treated lowly poor people like them as human beings. This was the first time she saw a master who treated his slaves so generously. She couldn't bear the smile on her face.
Can't live.
"Thank you, mama and master, my health is much better. Thank you for arranging for people to take care of me these days."
When the woman was fourteen, her hometown suffered a flood and her parents were old. As the eldest daughter in the family, she had no choice but to go to the capital to make a living. As a result, she was caught and sold to the capital on the way. After changing hands several times, she finally ended up in the Baylor Mansion.
Maid.
Most of the masters she met also regarded their slaves as human beings. They thought that this life would be hopeless, but they didn't expect that Xi Fujin of Baylor Mansion would come to her and tell her that they knew everything about her. As long as she did one thing for Xi Fujin, she would do it.
You will be free, receive generous rewards, and be reunited with your family.
She agreed immediately. She was sold to the capital for six years. Not a day went by that she didn't miss her parents and her brothers and sisters at home. Nothing was more important than being together as a family.
What's more, the reward given by Xi Fujin is enough to sustain their family's livelihood for more than 20 years. If they can use part of it to buy a shop and do some business, it will be enough to sustain their future expenses.
Seeing the moved look on her face, Grandma Wang stared at her, pointed to a carriage a dozen steps away, and continued: "This is a carriage specially called for you. The driver has already paid for it.
It's trustworthy. If you're not at ease, you can call a carriage yourself, but the people in the capital are crowded, so my lady means that if you want to change a carriage, you'd better leave the capital before changing."
The woman looked at the ordinary carriage. The driver was burly and seemed to be honest. He was probably not a bad person, so she nodded.
Seeing her promise, Grandma Wang took out a short dagger from her sleeve and said, "In addition, this dagger is for you to use for self-defense. As a woman, you should pay more attention on the road. In addition, I will also ask the coachman to ensure that
Your safety..."
After saying that, Nanny Wang motioned for her to follow her and walked towards the carriage. Then she pulled her into the carriage. Nanny Wang gave some instructions to the driver. The driver shouted 'Drive!' and the carriage started.
He began to gallop until the carriage made the sound of horse hooves and disappeared outside Zhengyang Gate.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Grandma Wang returned to Baylor's Mansion.
When she returned to the house, the other maids were not there, only Yu Zhi was cleaning the lady's desk.
The young lady held a book and read it carefully on the sofa. She walked over silently, leaned into the young lady's ear, and whispered: "Miss, it has been taken care of. No one else knows except one or two confidants in the Zhang family.
I also ordered the driver to report it to Manager Zhao of the Zhang Mansion in a timely manner after delivering it safely."
After Wanyue heard this, she turned her head and looked up at Grandma Wang, only to see Yu Zhi looking this way.
When Yu Zhi saw Fu Jin's gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head. It was nothing at first, but for some reason, Wan Yue felt a little uneasy.
While Yu Zhi was leaving, Wanyue immediately waved to Grandma Wang and whispered a few words into her ear. Grandma Wang nodded, looking thoughtful.
