So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

The eldest brother took the lead in making trouble today. Xiao Yueshan realized that life at home might not be easy in the future, so she had to make plans early. In the past few days, she spent most of her time on calligraphy and reading. Now that she has learned many commonly used characters, she should put them aside and concentrate on solving her own survival problems.

She returned to her room with a heavy heart, and let Shu Tong take off the hairpin on her head. "Miss, you are too excited today. In fact, it's okay to recognize that boy. If you don't like him, just treat him as a cat or a dog. Allocate a room for him to live in and send a few people to serve him." Shu Tong rarely called her Madam. She put herself in her own lady's shoes and didn't want her to have too much trouble with her husband's family at this time.

"I understand, I just..." Xiao Yueshan also knew that there was no need to be so excited. She just didn't want to let this scumbag who betrayed his wife and abandoned his children succeed. Even if everyone thought she was irrational, she still wanted to vent her anger.

Why can this bastard talk about love when he wants it, and not take responsibility for having a child with a concubine; why can he talk about the future when he wants it, and deceive the daughter of a prominent family to bring honor to the family. Although she is powerless and in a bad situation, she still doesn't want such a man to get what he wants.

But if I said this here, no one would understand. She changed her words: "I just think this child is strange. Even if I adopt him, I want to adopt a child with a clear background. Now that my husband is not here, there is no one to protect him. I am afraid that someone will deceive me, a woman in the inner house. I must find someone to find out the background and take a closer look at him."

"Miss, you're right. If you don't know the reason, you might get into trouble." Shu Tong nodded.

"Adopting a child is one thing. I always feel that Zhou Yao is still there, but we just need time to find him. For the sake of transition, I think going to the ancestral temple is also a way out. If we leave the mansion, we will need more money and manpower, so we have to be aware of this." Xiao Yueshan looked at Shu Tong's face and said sincerely.

"Miss, I understand." After this incident, Shu Tong understood the difficulties that Miss was facing. She thought carefully and said, "In our courtyard, besides me, the second-class maid that your family brought as a dowry, there are four third-class maids, Qingxing, Liumian, Fangcao, and Shuangxi. Our maids' indentures are with Miss, and our families are all in Miss's family. We mainly work in the inner house. In addition, there are Steward Deng and Madam Chen. Steward Deng was the former constant follower of Mr. Xiao, and was specially sent to look after Miss. Now he is in charge of the outer courtyard. Madam Chen is the younger sister of the head nanny beside Madam Xiao. Her ancestors have worked in the Yu Mansion for several generations, so she is not afraid of disloyalty. Now the farm that Miss brought as a dowry is managed by the Chen family. Then there are the four servants who were brought here, who are also family-born children. They usually follow Steward Deng to do some things outside. This time, they were sent to deliver the letter to the master."

Xiao Yueshan took note of everything in her mind, and sighed at the original owner's father and mother's deep love for their daughter. They arranged everything in an orderly manner. For a moment, it seemed that she didn't need to intervene. She asked, "Why didn't I see Mother Chen when I woke up? Isn't she in charge of the yard?"

"Miss, you forgot that in the middle of the year, Madam Chen took people to inspect the farm for you." Shutong reported. "Mid-year inspection, harvest supervision, and year-end report, this is the rule set by the old master."

The Xiao family has been passed down from generation to generation through farming and studying, and everything has its own rules. Xiao Yueshan thought that he was studying management, and had worked in management for several years. He wanted to show his talents in housekeeping and financial management, but he didn't expect that there was nowhere to show his talents. Although productivity was not so developed in ancient times, a large family and a large business did not come by chance. To save so much private property and run such a large family business, one must be clear-headed and always take care of it.

Listening to Shu Tong carefully counting the original owner's dowry, Xiao Yueshan knew that these people were trustworthy now, but he was not familiar with them. In addition, the interpersonal relationships among them were complicated, and they might change their minds. In addition, he did not know their character, so he had to find time to meet them one by one before he could feel at ease.

"I believe in my parents' vision, and I trust you, but I lost my memory last time, and I don't remember many things. I have to meet with everyone one by one." Xiao Yueshan made up his mind to start sorting out the employee files tomorrow. "Due to this incident, my way of speaking and doing things has changed a lot from the past, and you all need to know and adapt to it."

Shu Tong nodded: "Young lady is indeed different from before. In the past, young lady was talented, proud and heroic, only liked poetry and literature, and didn't care about worldly affairs. She wouldn't joke with the second young master's wife, and she wouldn't argue with the eldest young master in the hall." Shu Tong thought of his young lady crying in the hall just now, and he couldn't help feeling sad. Young lady is proud and arrogant. If she wasn't sad and helpless, how could she be so carefree. "Young lady is good no matter what, but now she is suffering."

"These pains are temporary, as long as this period is over, it will be fine." Xiao Yueshan comforted her like an old office worker. She looked at the woman in the mirror. The original owner was 70% similar to herself, both of them were average-looking. But the original owner was young and pampered, and she was more beautiful, gentle, sweet and moving. "Work is really the best cure for ugliness," Xiao Yueshan silently complained in her heart. In fact, she didn't have the "class taste" to be a young lady, and her appearance was still good, haha~

After joking around with herself for a while, Xiao Yueshan felt less heavy in her heart. She sent Shutong to rest, and sat alone at the table to write a template for the inner house employee file form based on the file review form in her memory. She also classified the various tasks of managing the inner house and private property based on her many years of experience in reading novels and TV dramas, and made an organizational chart. Managing family property is no different from managing a company, both are about operating and growing. With an uncertain future, Xiao Yueshan could only pull the situation into a familiar field to find a little sense of security.

The next morning, Xiao Yueshan asked Shu Tong to look at the inner house staff file she had drawn up. Shu Tong had never seen such a form before. In addition to the names, dates of birth, whether the child was born or bought, whether the contract was live or dead, and the rewards received, which she could understand, there were also specialties, responsibilities, and resumes that she could not understand. It even involved the situation of the father, mother, brothers, sisters, and in-laws. She smiled and said, "Madam, we are just servants. We are not going to take the imperial examination. Why do we need to be so detailed?"

"Most of us are brought here by the Xiao family, so you naturally remember them all. But on the one hand, I don't remember them, so this will allow me to get familiar with the affairs inside and outside the courtyard again as quickly as possible. On the other hand, I plan to send trustworthy people to the ancestral temple to take care of things and explore the situation, and perhaps even purchase some things and manpower in advance. If I really go to the ancestral temple, I will have to keep everything simple. The people I bring must have their own strengths and be useful, and the people who stay behind to take care of the affairs must also be my confidants." Xiao Yueshan explained patiently.

"Young Madam has thought of everything. There are many things going on in our courtyard right now, and most of the servants here don't know that you have lost your memory. Asking too many questions may lead to speculation. Why don't I fill in the blanks for you first, and you can look at the key points and ask. If there are any omissions, I or other trustworthy maids will check them one by one, and it won't arouse suspicion." Shu Tong suggested by analogy.

Xiao Yueshan's eyes lit up. This Shu Tong had great potential to be a general assistant. She immediately became curious about this girl's life experience. In this world, she relied too much on Shu Tong. If this girl was unreliable, her life would be even more difficult. Why not start by asking Shu Tong?

"You are such a smart baby, you are the assistant and lucky star God gave me!" Xiao Yueshan said with starry eyes: "How about I use you as an example, I will teach you how to fill it out first, and then you can test others one by one."

Shutong was very happy to receive the compliment, and immediately copied a form and filled it out himself: "Yu Shutong, sixteen years old, special skill..., what is the young lady's special skill?" Xiao Yueshan thought with relief, as expected, both ancient and modern times require filling out forms to explain, haha. After saying that, he took out another piece of paper. "Look at it, I have divided the internal and external affairs into more than ten kinds of skills, such as secretary, financial management, needlework, sweeping, shopping, cooking, gardening, etc., can you help me see if there are any more skills that need to be added. The so-called special skills must be better than others, so I won't write down those that are just roughly capable."

Xiao Yueshan explained each project to Shutong, focusing on the organizational structure and job descriptions, emphasizing the functions and responsibilities and how to fill out the resume. Shutong felt that the design was clever: "Madam, you are really amazing. I have been with you for more than ten years, and I never knew that you have the talent to manage the household. It can be seen that you just didn't bother with it before. When you mentioned it yesterday, I thought it was unnecessary. Now I see that we did have a lot of negligence before. It's too slow for me to fill it out alone. Why don't you ask Fangcao and Qingxing to help fill it out together? They can write, are familiar with the situation, and are rigorous and steady. They won't leak the news."

Xiao Yueshan had already read the file form filled out by Shutong. This girl's father was the steward of Madam Yu, the original owner's family. He was an old man brought from Madam Yu's family. Her mother was originally Madam Yu's maid. Later, when her husband took over the affairs, they lived together on the farm. Several brothers also took jobs. The whole family worked in Yu Mansion and Xiao Mansion. When Shutong was five or six years old, he was sent to the young lady to grow up together. He had friendship and was a reliable person. At this moment, he let her do it.

"If you appoint someone who is not talented, regret will surely come to you; if you appoint the wrong person to the right position, disaster will come quickly. Selecting and employing people is a matter of utmost importance, and you must not be careless. In addition to the people brought by my mother's family, everyone else in our yard must also be checked and reported. You must do it quietly, and the more distant the people are, the less likely you are to let them know too much." Xiao Yueshan warned.

"Yes, I will teach them well and will not ruin the young lady's plan." Shu Tong took the order and went outside to call Qing Xing and Fang Cao. When Xiao Yueshan saw the two of them, they were indeed smart and respectful. She also guided them to fill out a form of their own situation. After checking clearly, she asked the three of them to do it.

Xiao Yueshan looked at the organizational framework chart that had just been completed, thinking that the inner house had been taken care of, but he still hadn't found a suitable candidate to take care of the ancestral temple affairs and investigate Liang Ge'er's background. Although the people brought by the original owner's family were loyal, they did not have deep roots in the Zhou Mansion, and it was feared that they would find it difficult to find out useful information.
