Chapter 31: Ning's Strategy
When the matter of the maidservant was almost arranged, Gu Nianxun went to the residence of the eldest lady of the main courtyard, Ning.
Seeing Gu Nianxun's good mood, Ning knew that she had already selected the maid she wanted, and they all said that she knew the daughter Mo Ruomu, so she smiled and asked:
"Ah Xun, but you've already chosen the maidservant woman you want?" While talking, he beckoned the eldest daughter to sit beside him, and sent someone to bring the young daughter Gu Nianchi who was playing in the garden, Gu Nianxun looked at her mother's appearance, and knew that the mother and daughter were going to have a good relationship.
"Niang's clever calculation, Xun'er chose four people to accompany her in the future, one is good at martial arts, one is a good doctor, and the other two are good at dealing with the affairs of the backyard house, which is exactly the division of labor that Xun'er was looking forward to before." Then, Gu Nianxun briefly explained the process and results of the maid selection not long ago.
When the eldest lady Ning heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again, admiring in her heart that the eldest daughter's demeanor was becoming more thoughtful and proper, which was much higher than other ladies of the same age.
As he was talking, the nurse approached the house with Gu Nianchi in her arms, and before she could get to her, Gu Nianchi broke free from the nurse's arms, and after saluting Ning and Gu Nianxun one by one, she jumped to Ning and Gu Nianxun's side.
In the eyes of Ning and Gu Nianxun, they are full of eager love, looking at the innocent appearance of the young girl/younger sister, I just hope that it can be maintained forever, and the wind and rain outside are free to cover the mother/eldest sister one by one.
The thoughts of the mother and daughter were to go together.
Gu Nianxun hugged the soft and fragrant young sister into his arms, and continued to explain other things to the eldest lady Ning.
"Mother, as for the newly selected maids, the people who teach them still need your palm. In terms of martial arts, I intend to let Zhichun train with Li Quan and others from Xunyang Pavilion in the front yard, but this male and female defense also has to be considered. The candidates who teach Xiaochun's medical skills also need to be carefully considered, and the mother also chooses one or two candidates from their respective courtyards to train together, so that when they return to Beijing in the future, they will have an extra layer of protection on top of food, especially Ah Chi and Ah Heng's courtyard. “
"As for the remaining two, my daughter wants to ask Mama Ning to teach her personally, and if the two of them can get the true inheritance of Mama Ning, they will also be able to become my right-hand man in the backyard in the future."
Ning listened to the eldest daughter's arrangement of the newly selected maids, and did not have any objections, and even more agreed with the training of a few maids who were good at pharmacology in other hospitals.
After all, after the back house, there are different dramas staged every day, and the Gu Mansion in the capital is complicated and has not yet been separated, so there must be a different show distributed and staged every day. And not every courtyard has its own small kitchen, if someone wants to do something in their daily food, it can only be said that there is an opportunity.
The Ning family didn't think of this before, firstly, because the staff of Huizhou Mansion was simple, and it was easier to prevent it for their family of five, and secondly, the grandmothers of the three children were carefully selected by her, and there was nothing uneasy.
When I return to Beijing, some things need to be arranged in advance.
Ning's heart was also thinking quickly, Gu Nianxun didn't bother, she believed that Ning's mother, as the master mother who had seen the methods of the back house, had her own plans.
After a cup of tea, Ning had already made a decision in his heart, and only heard her gentle voice ringing in the room: "The person who knows the martial arts of the spring, my mother finds another woman who is good at this, or teaches others some hand and foot kung fu at the same time, and it is not appropriate for a maid to come and go between the inner and outer courtyards."
"When it comes to teaching medical skills, my mother has a candidate. The former head of the Tai Hospital, Song Taiyi, is now recuperating in Suzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the younger generations of the family are also running a well-known medical center. And your rented father and him have a bit of brotherhood, and they can be regarded as elders who grew up watching their mothers. I'll write a letter, prepare more generous gifts, and send a few maids over for apprenticeship, which is not a big deal. “
"The other two, Ah Xun's proposal is very good, and it is best to be taught by Mama Ning herself." Ning Shi informed Gu Nianxun of her plans one by one, and her mother's arrangement was perfect and complete.
The Ning family sent a maid to call Mama Ning, who was handling government affairs in the kitchen, and talked about the matter. After listening to this, Mama Ning responded quickly, saying that it was her blessing and honor to be able to do things for the eldest lady.
Gu Nianxun respects this grandmother who raised her mother and accompanied the Ning family from her mother's house to Gu's mansion, and then traveled thousands of miles to Huizhou Mansion in Jiangnan, where she was unfamiliar with her life. In Gu Nianxun's eyes, Mama Ning and Mama An are not just simple slaves, but elders who are not relatives are better than relatives, and they are people around them who are worthy of trust and trust.
Immediately, Gu Nianxun bowed to Mama Ning, blessed her body, and Mama Ning hurriedly turned sideways to avoid this salute, and hurriedly said: "Miss, this is a slave and maid, how can a subordinate be the master's gift?"
But seeing Gu Nianxun holding up Mama Ning who was about to bow down with both hands, she said seriously and solemnly: "Mama deserves it, you have the grace of nurturing your mother, and you are in charge of this huge Gu Mansion, and it is a blessing for Xun'er to have you teach those two maids, so you have received this gift, which is Xun'er's thank you."
After speaking, she was blessed to Mama Ning again, this time Mama Ning did not avoid it, but hurriedly helped Gu Nianxun with tears in her eyes. The eldest lady Ning looked at the scene in front of her, and she was also relieved, in her heart, Mama Ning was a family member rather than a slave, Gu Nianxun could also look at Mama Ning like this, and even more made the eldest lady Ning feel that the eldest daughter was thoughtful, she was really a good child who was pure and polite, and she didn't know who she would marry in the future, so blessed.
Gu Nianxun didn't know what her mother really thought in her heart, if she knew, she should just smile helplessly, anyway, in the eyes of her mother Ning, her daughter is a princess, and it is also a must, or perhaps, it is better than the princess of that family.
Gu Nianchi watched the eldest sister and Mama Ning worship back and forth, and also watched the excitement as an onlooker, and couldn't stop applauding by clapping this little hand.
Everyone in the room was also amused by the innocence of this little man.
