Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 265 The Disguiser Yu Manli 5

The next morning, Lao Wang came to pick Minglou up to go to work at the Nanjing government office. Section Chief Song was waiting for Minglou at the door early in the morning. When he saw Minglou, he said, "Section Chief Mingyu, you've worked hard on the journey. Let me show you the office!"

Minglou smiled and said, "Thank you, Section Chief Song! Sorry for the trouble..."

Section Chief Song: "No trouble. I heard that Section Chief Ming is a professor studying in France. He is really young and promising!"

Minglou smiled and said, "No!"

Manli left Minglou, found a rickshaw, and went to the Central Bank on Nanjing Road. She found the manager, exchanged 4 yuan for yellow croaker, took out the remaining yuan, put it in her handbag, and left. In fact, she put all the money into the space and then found a rickshaw to take it to her largest housekeeping service company.

The driver asked, "Madam, are you looking for a servant to clean up?"

Manli: “Yes!”

The driver asked, "Can I recommend someone to my wife? My wife?"

Manli: "Bring your wife to my house this afternoon and I'll take a look. What's your name?"

The driver said, "Mr. Wang, my family lives in the civilian area of Ximen. I have a daughter!"

Manli: "Send me home, No. 103 Huanghe Road, Ming's Mansion!"

Driver: "Okay, ma'am, sit tight!"

After returning home, Manli took out the clothes and shoes that had been stored in the space, and also took out some jewelry and placed them in the drawer of the dressing table, and then locked it.

After a moment's thought, she took out a set of tea-making utensils, then went to the study and retrieved fine rice paper, brushes, inkstones, and brushes from the space. She also placed some novels and storybooks she had collected on the bookshelf. After finishing all this, she went to the kitchen where she kept things and took out a 50-jin bag of rice and poured it into the rice jar. She also took out 10 jin of corn flour and poured it into a smaller jar, covering it with a lid. She looked in the kitchen cabinets and put some soy sauce, salt, rapeseed oil, and star anise seasoning in them. They were all in glass bottles. These were all things she had saved from other mission worlds. She took out a bag of brown sugar and poured it into a ceramic jar, covering it. Thinking of the chickens, ducks, and geese in the space that laid many eggs every day, she took out another 50 eggs and placed them in the jar. She also pickled 100 duck eggs with salt and sealed them. They would be ready to eat in about a month. She would go out and buy some red dates and bird's nests for the rest. After finishing all this, she heard the doorbell ring crisply, like a yellow oriole leaving the valley. Hearing the sound, Manli walked out to open the gate and found that it was the coachman named Wang Sheng. Next to him stood a woman in her twenties, like a newly blooming flower.

Wang Sheng said respectfully, "Madam, this is my wife, Li Yunniang. Are you satisfied?"

Manli looked them up and down and said softly, "Come in, let's talk inside." Then she led the two to the living room and sat elegantly on the sofa. The two seemed very reserved, like two frightened little rabbits, not daring to sit down easily.

Manli smiled slightly and said softly, "Sit down!" Hearing this, the two felt relieved and sat down carefully.

Manli continued, "I'll pay you 15 yuan a month. Your job is to clean the Ming Mansion and do some chores. After you're done, you can leave. My husband and I don't like having too many people at home."

Wang Sheng and Li Yunniang burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him repeatedly: "Okay! Madam..."

Manli nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Okay, Yunniang, go clean up. As for Wangsheng, help me weed the yard and tidy up the flower beds. Once you've finished these tasks, I'll give you an extra two dollars as a reward!"

After listening, the two of them went about their business. Manli went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner. She couldn't help but sigh that she still needed a caring housekeeper! In the past, Ah Cheng followed Minglou like a shadow, handling various affairs. Now, there were only the two of them, and there were some things that she really couldn't handle alone, and Minglou went to work in the government... It seemed that she had to do it herself. Before Minglou came back, Wang Sheng and his wife completed all the work. Manli handed them the two yuan wages she had promised them and let them leave.

When Minglou returned, he found the yard neatly tidied, the flower beds complete, and the house spotless. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Manman, did you do all this by yourself? Aren't you tired? Didn't you agree to ask for help?"

Manli's smile blossomed like a spring flower. She gently placed the steaming noodles on the table, then beckoned Minglou to come and taste them. "I hired a cleaning lady," she said in a sweet voice. "Considering your status, you shouldn't have too many strangers in your house, so I asked her to clean and leave. As for the yard, I paid two dollars for her husband to help tidy it up."

Minglou took Manli's hand and said, "Even so, you're working very hard. Why don't you just close the rouge and powder shop? When you're free, have some tea and play mahjong with the ladies. I don't want you to work too hard."

Manli thought for a moment and nodded, and then they ate the noodles. After they finished, Minglou took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it. Seeing the things in the kitchen, he said, "Let me accompany you when you buy these next time. It must be tiring for you to carry them back!"

Manli leaned against the door frame and smiled, "Okay, husband!"
