When it was time to go to school, Chun Tao opened the curtain and came into the house to serve Wu Yuan to freshen up.

Wu Yuan is still plain and light makeup, wearing a green skirt, casually tying a belt decorated with a jade ring around his waist, faintly showing a slender waist, and stepping on soft-soled shoes embroidered with butterflies.

Chun Tao saw that the key to the private room box in the middle courtyard that was given to Wu Yuan yesterday was worn by Wu Yuan around his neck, Chun Tao helped Wu Yuan pull the collar again, and said softly: "Miss, the key has to be hidden, you can't be known by outsiders on weekdays, and you know that your wealth is not exposed, Miss?" ”

Wu Yuan nodded, reassured Chun Tao and said, "I know everything, Aunt Chun Tao, you have told you many times from yesterday to this morning, don't worry." ”

In order to reassure Chun Tao, Wu Yuan untied the key again, and put it into the silver safety lock that she had worn since she was a child, this safety lock has been carried by Wu Yuan, it looks inconspicuous, compared with other safety locks, the special thing about this safety lock is that it is a hollow, and there is a small button at the lower end of the lock, which can open up some gadgets.

Wu Yuan put the key, took the peace lock and said to Chun Tao: "Now you should rest assured." ”

Only then did Chun Tao feel relieved to put the peace lock on Wu Yuan, and loudly ordered the maid who was waiting outside to come in and serve Wu Yuan for breakfast.

While eating millet porridge, Wu Yuan instructed Chun Tao: "I'll go to school in Xiaokuan Courtyard later, Aunt Chun Tao, you will count the people in the middle courtyard against the roster, and find a few capable maids to serve in the house." And my tabby, don't forget to find a girl for the tabby to hug it, otherwise the next time my uncle comes to see that the tabby is not well raised, he will nag me again. ”

Chun Tao looked at Wu Yuan's appearance and said with a smile: "Yes, little ancestor, you hurry up, you will miss the time of class later." ”

After speaking, Chun Tao put a pipa placket on Wu Yuan's shoulders and instructed the maid to wait for Wu Yuan to go to school in the small cross courtyard.

As soon as he entered the small cross courtyard, Wu Yuan met Wu Yijin with a maid.

"Eldest sister, you came a little late today, the eldest aunt is gone, are you still used to it?" Wu Yijin held Wu Yuan's hand and asked worriedly.

"I'm used to it, no one cares about me anymore, I'm happy and comfortable!"

When Wu Yijin heard Wu Yuan's words, she looked at Wu Yuan with some envy, "Why don't I move in with my eldest sister, I don't want my mother to take care of me." She has a lot of control, and always compares me to you.

"Good sister, don't be born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, you want to move in with me, if the third aunt knows your thoughts, I don't know how to complain about me." Wu Yuan patted Wu Yijin's hand and said jokingly.

Wu Yijin reluctantly entered the study with Wu Yuan.

After the two sisters saluted Mr. Li, Li Qingduan sat down at the top and was about to start the lecture.

Wu Yuan asked Li Qing respectfully: "Sir, I think after Mr. finishes the daily course in the future, can he start teaching arithmetic in advance in my course, now I am the only one in the middle court, I should learn to read the account book and take care of the middle court." I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

Li Qing thought for a while, "It's not impossible to teach arithmetic, it's just that I'm afraid that you can't cope with so many courses at a young age." In addition to the female commandments that must be learned every morning, you also have to learn female red in the afternoon, I don't know if you can keep up. ”

Wu Yuan respectfully saluted Mr. and said, "Sir, please rest assured, the disciple will study hard and ensure that he will not delay other courses." Please also sir professor. ”

Li Qing saw that Wu Yuan's expression was firm, and he had already made up his mind to study, so he didn't say anything more, so he agreed.

"Well, after class every day, you will leave an extra hour to learn arithmetic."

Wu Yuan smiled and saluted Li Qingshen at this time, returned to his seat and began to study.

Here Chun Tao has already counted the maids in the middle courtyard against the roster, and Cui's also sent a few maids over, just in time to meet Chun Tao is counting the next people.

"Yo, what's this doing?" As soon as Cui Shi entered the middle courtyard, he saw that the subordinates of the middle courtyard were standing in the courtyard with their hands down.

"I've seen the second grandmother." Chun Tao hurriedly saluted to Cui's respectfully, "The slave is recognizing people on the roster, and many people don't know each other, so it's time for the young lady to go to school to get to know each other." ”

"I don't know, I think your Intermediate Court is investigating people." Cui's face was a little pale, "This is a personal maid selected for the eldest lady, one is called Ruyi, and the other is called Ruxin." You're on the roster, so let's put their names on it. But I have to find out, so as not to have an accident, and I can't afford to ask the old lady about it. ”

"Where is the second grandmother talking about, the second grandmother is the elder of the young lady, taking care of the entire back house, who dares to say that the second grandmother is not, the slave maid is just doing the duty of the slave maid."

"Okay, I've also sent it over, Chun Tao, now you are the steward of the middle court, there are some things I want to mention to you, the eldest lady lives alone in such a large middle courtyard, you have to be careful, if something goes wrong with the eldest lady, you can't afford it." If there is anything going on in the future, you should come and report it to me as soon as possible, so that I can know it. If you continue to deceive your superiors and subordinates like the last time your grandmother did it, you will have your good fruit to eat. Cui Shi said in a deep voice.

Chun Tao hurriedly knelt down and said yes repeatedly.

After Cui's left, the two maids were about to go into the back room to clean up, but Chun Tao hurriedly stopped them.

"Sister Chuntao, we were sent by the second grandmother to serve the eldest lady closely, why are you stopping us like this? Do you dare to disobey the second grandmother? ”

Chun Tao said with a smile: "The two sisters don't have to worry, the eldest lady hasn't come back yet, when the eldest lady comes back from school, and then assign the errands of your two sisters, the two sisters are not in a hurry to do their own errands." The two younger sisters have just come to the middle courtyard, so it is better to go to the auricular to rest first. ”

After Chun Tao finished speaking, he called the little maid to prepare some refreshments and take them to the ear room.

Ruxin and Ruyi saw Chun Tao talking kindly, thinking that Chun Tao was also a person who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, so they went to the ear room to rest with high spirits.

Chun Tao saw that the two maids selected by the Cui family had a rude attitude, it seemed that this was the person assigned by the Cui family to listen to the corner of the middle courtyard, so she had to step up the selection of two little maids to guard Wu Yuan's house.

There is no shortage of subordinates in the Intermediate Court now, what is lacking are loyal subordinates who belong to the Intermediate Court itself.

"You, that's you, and you, come here." Chun Tao pointed to the little maids standing in the corner and told them to come forward and speak.

The two little maids were a little timid, "What do you have to tell Sister Chun Tao?" ”

"What's your name? Where is home, and can there be relatives outside? Who did you recommend? Chun Tao asked with the style of a big lady in charge.

"The slave's name is Lilac, she is an orphan, and she doesn't know who her parents are."

"The slave's name is Yuzhu. It's Anqing, and there are my father and a younger brother outside, and the slave was sold by my father, and my father loves to smoke a lot, and he tossed all the money in the family. ”

These two little maids are newly bought into the Wu family, and after the training of the Zhuang family, they have nothing to do with the rest of the Wu family, and there is no complicated relationship, so they are most suitable for being transferred to Wu Yuan's house to serve.

Chun Tao saw that the two were honest and steady, and they were also diligent in their work on weekdays, so she carefully wrote down the names of the two and prepared to recommend them to Wu Yuan after Wu Yuan came back from school.
