Chen Wenhui said to Wan's family: "I entered Beijing this time, and I got a lot of good things, all of which are heirlooms, besides, my mother has been preparing for us since I was a child, and my dowry will definitely be indispensable in the future, sister-in-law, don't worry, this set is for good spirits, you will collect it for her good life." In addition to these, I also got a few particularly good embroidery girls in the capital this time, all of which were rewarded to me by the palace, the craftsmanship is really a must, I asked them to make a few sets of small clothes for the little good spirit, some are worn inside, and some are worn outside, all of them are very exquisite, and they are all made of muslin, by the way, there is only one set of satin, which is a dress, which is worn by the little good spirit to attend the banquet. ”

Wan Shi laughed and said, "The good spirit is so small, where can I attend the banquet?" ”

Before Chen Wenhui could speak, Chen Wenhui's wet nurse on the side said: "Young lady, the girls of the family have participated in the banquet at a very young age, this is not an ordinary girl's family, her identity is not worse than the daughter of the clan, so she has to hold the girl to show the ladies on formal occasions." If you're a little bigger, you'll have to go to social events, and if you're older, you'll have to have a convoy. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "My wet nurse came with me this time, not to accompany me to Luzon, but to take care of the good spirits. The nurse is a servant of the Chen family, and she is proficient in all rules. In the future, I will entrust my nurse to my sister-in-law, and please take care of my sister-in-law more. ”

Chen Wenhui's nurse Zheng's mother, Wan knows it very well. Zheng's mother is a servant of the Chen family, originally called her Chen Shan's family, and her husband is one of Chen Zhaonan's capable housekeepers. Chen Shan's family made Chen Wenhui a wet nurse, and the Bai family respected her very much. The family calls her Mama Zheng. She gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Chen Fu, married Chen Wenhui's eldest maid Feiguang, and the husband and wife are one of the most important industries of the Chen family. The inside and outside of the Cui Jin Building. The second son, Chen Qing, married Chen Wenhui's other big girl, Yin Hong, and the husband and wife are the chief shopkeeper and chief chef of Qinghe Building. It can be said that the two most important transactions of the Chen family were handed over to Zheng's mother's son and daughter-in-law. It can be seen that the trust in their family.

Wan's doesn't dare to be coquettish when he sees Zheng's mother on weekdays, she is respectful, but now Zheng's mother is sitting, where are ordinary maids sitting here?

Wan understood as soon as he heard this. The mother-in-law is afraid that she will come from a small family. I haven't seen the pomp of the family, don't be stingy with the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and specially sent Zheng's mother to be a nurturing grandmother for her daughter.

The average person may feel that the mother-in-law looks down on them. will be angry, but Wan only has a surprise, he didn't expect that the Chen family attaches so much importance to his daughter. Is this to be raised as a princess? Listen, though. The pomp and circumstance of this family girl is born noble, and she has to participate in formal occasions, and she has her own social circle when she is older. Bigger ones have their own escort team.

In the Wan family, even if it is her grandfather, her father does not have a private guard. What a money-burning thing. Of course, with the financial resources of his husband and wife now. Even if the mother-in-law doesn't give money, she can raise a guard for her daughter, but can an ordinary rich person maintain the guard? The imperial court has control over the sword soldiers, and it is difficult for those who do not have enough status to even equip their own homes with weapons, where can they still maintain the guards. It can be seen that her daughter is really a princess, but she is still treated as an ordinary person in her family, thinking that girls are not good, she is really a group of uninformed buns, where can she understand the dignity of the daughter of the family.

Wan happily gave Mother Zheng a blessing and said, "That's good, Mother Zheng, in the future, the upbringing of our family's good spirits will be handed over to you." What you need to tell me directly. ”

Mother Zheng didn't humilly let go and said: "The slave maid is not a big gift for the young lady, but thanks to the lady, she looks up to me and hands over the eldest daughter of the Chen family to me to upbring, this is my greatest glory, and I will do my best." will definitely raise the little girl to be the best girl in the family. ”

Wan Shi was very happy, and thanked Zheng's mother again, and then said to Chen Wenhui: "Sister, don't worry, you gave Zheng's mother to the good spirit, I must be better than treating my own wet nurse." ”

After speaking, Wan Shi turned around and instructed the maid beside him: "In the future, Mother Zheng will be able to represent me." If you need anything, you don't have to go back to me, you not only have to remember, but you also have to inform everyone in the yard, as well as the account office, Zheng's mother needs to withdraw money, she needs objects, she doesn't need to go back to me, remember? ”

Wan's four big girls Qiu Hong, Qiu Cui, Qiu Ying, and Qiu Han all agreed together. In addition to these four big girls, there are also the four big girls who were married before the Wan family, Chunguang, they are all housekeepers, responsible for Wan's various industries, and they are all agreeing at this moment.

Zheng's mother was very happy, Chen Wenhui nodded, her sister-in-law is the smartest, knowledgeable, or her own mother has a good vision, does not pay attention to the family, and found such a capable, intelligent, generous daughter-in-law, ridiculous grandmother in the mansion in the capital, the eldest lady, the second lady also laughed at her mother for finding a businessman's daughter, it is really a mouse's eye, is their daughter-in-law as capable as Wan's? I'm afraid I can't beat it yet.

Chen Wenhui said: "By the way, sister-in-law, this time I went to Shanghai City, stayed for a long time, and focused on our treasure mirror workshop and found many problems. I brought all the ledgers of the Treasure Mirror Workshop. ”

At this time, Yudai hurriedly stepped forward and took out the account books in the clip one by one.

Chen Wenhui said: "The two of us are not in the inland city all the year round, and the big shopkeepers of the Baojing Workshop have a lot more power. We have a corruption problem in such a small workshop. ”

Wan Shi smiled and said: "Where is our small workshop, such a treasure mirror workshop, in the capital, Suzhou City, Shanghai City, Qingyang City, Xinguang City have branches, there are many goods sold overseas, every year just the treasure mirror workshop can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, or a small workshop?" How can such a money-making industry not have the problem of the following people filling their pockets? In fact, just like our family's industry, Cuijin Building, Qinghe Restaurant, Wine Factory, Spice Factory, etc., are all very big businesses, bigger than our Baojing Workshop, but there are few such problems of filling private pockets. That's because the business in these places is watched by reliable people. Zheng's mother's son and daughter-in-law are the most trusted people in our house, and Mrs. gives them a lot of bonuses, as well as Qingjian Qingshuang, they are all loyal, and they have been people in the house for several lifetimes, so they are naturally reliable. ”

Zheng's mother was even happier when she said this.

Wan Shi continued: "But our Treasure Mirror Workshop is just the big shopkeepers I recruited, where do you have feelings? Nor did we cultivate it with our own hands. Speaking of which, our background is still too thin. ”

Chen Wenhui probed and said: "Yes, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of talent. The development of our family is also constrained by talent. Our current staff all have their own things to do, where can we free up our hands to manage the Treasure Mirror Workshop? ”

Wan said: "Don't hit my Chunguang and the four of them. Chunguang used to manage the Treasure Mirror Workshop, but now, Xinguang City, your eldest brother is a hands-off shopkeeper, and I am in charge of everything, where do I have three heads and six arms? Didn't the four of them take care of it for me? Compared to Xinguang City, our Treasure Mirror Workshop is nothing. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "What my sister-in-law said is very true, Xinguang City is the foundation of our Xiao Chen family, and there is no room for mistakes. However, I saw that Chunguang and they don't have this free time, but the Qiuhong who is newly trained by you now is very good, why don't you send two of them over to manage it? ”

Wan smiled and said, "Oh, don't beat my idea." You see Chunguang, they help me take care of Xinguang City, and they are busy every day without touching the ground. These things in my house are all managed by Qiuhong and them. You see, your eldest brother and I, as well as the food and clothing of the good spirits, clothes and jewelry, and there are often banquets in the house, and the mansion is so big, there are more than 200 servants, so many people eat, drink, sleep, assign work and other things are all managed by the four of them, where do I still have the spirit to manage the housekeeping in the house? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it too. smiled and said, "So, we really don't have anyone to use?" A few of my big girls, you know, my mother gave me Feiguang, Sister Yinhong, but you see that they left the house early and took charge of the business for our family. Later, Qiubi and the others are not even by my side now. You see that I have been delayed for so long in Shanghai City, but the construction of Luzon Island cannot be stopped, so I sent the four of them to help Wan Shuhui manage it. Then there are only the four of them left by my side, and they all have their own duties, where can they get out of the way. Actually, the four of them are waiting for me, and I have already begun to train new little maids to manage my clothes and jewelry and other things, because, when I get to Luzon and build a city, there are so many things, just the four of Qiubi and the four of them are not enough, I also plan to let Yujin and them give a hand, and when the experience comes out in the future, I will still be of great use. ”

Mother Zheng smiled when she heard this: "The girl and the young lady, when it comes to gold and silver property, they all let each other, but when it comes to their respective hands, they are reluctant to take them out, which is really different from ordinary families." ”

Everyone laughed at this.

Chen Wenhui said: "Nurse, you said that those gold, silver and jade can take care of me to dress and take care of my food? Can you manage my business, manage my affairs? ”

Zheng's mother, Yaoyao, said, "What the girl said is that this lack of manpower is also a thing. Actually, I think that the young lady still has someone to use. ”

Wan Shi hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Zheng's mother said: "The eldest young master's previous big girl was blue. ”

Wan Shi smiled and said: "Actually, before, Sister Biwen also helped me manage housework for a period of time, and also managed the Treasure Mirror Workshop for a period of time, but now she has been transferred away by the eldest young master." ”

Zheng's mother smiled and said, "This is really no one available." (To be continued)
