Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Nanny Sun drank several cups of tea in the main hall before being taken into the side hall, with an unhappy look on her face.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Nan Xi lazily leaning on the couch. Although her clothes and jewelry were not complicated, they were very gorgeous, and her expression seemed different from usual.

There is a faint and beautiful look.

"Greetings, Madam!" Nanny Sun rolled her eyes and forced a strange greeting.

"No need to be so polite, Madam Sun."

Nan Xi also gave him a false support: "Thank you for making this trip, Madam. But what instructions does the old lady have?"

Nanny Sun thought to herself, "Great! This lady seems to be fine today. Do you really think the old lady will let you go?"

No matter what, Miss Rou'er's stage can't be in vain. Since you've hurt Miss Rou'er, how can the old lady not teach you a lesson!

"I didn't give any instructions. It's just that the old lady has been unable to sleep well recently, and she wants you to help her copy Buddhist scriptures 10 times."

As he said this, he stuffed the thick Diamond Sutra in his hand into my hand without any hesitation.

Seeing that Nan Xi had no expression on her face and didn't take the book, he added with a grim smile: "The sun is about to rise today, madam, you have to hurry up, I have to offer 10 copies of the scriptures in the Buddhist temple tomorrow"!

Nan Xi nodded: "I understand, put it on the table."

She would never accept anything that had been touched by the old woman's dirty hands.

"Thank you, Madam Sun, for making this trip."

He reached out and took a box of silver: "This is the hard-earned money for Madam."

"As for the Buddhist scriptures, I will try my best to copy them. I don't know if I will be able to finish them by tomorrow morning. When the time comes, please ask Madam to say a few good words for me in front of the old lady."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

When Nanny Sun saw the box of neatly arranged silver, her eyes widened, her saliva almost flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her hands began to tremble:

: “This…this silver is all for me”?

Oh my God, since she came to Old Madam Zhao, although she has made a lot of money, most of it is just some small change!

Even if she had come to Nan Xi to beg for money in the past, it was only to flatter someone. She had never seen such a neatly arranged whole ingot of silver.

Speaking of this lady, she's the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion after all, so her moves are different! Wouldn't it have been better if she had known better earlier? ...It's too late now, humph!

Then Nan Xi said, "Of course it's for Madam. Madam, please don't refuse it. Just take it."

Aunt Xu was so impatient that she didn't even bother to say "thank you." She didn't mind the awkwardness and stuffed the bulging box into her clothes right in front of Nan Xi. As she left Qingzhi Courtyard, her face was filled with pride.

After Nanny Sun left, Nan Xi threw the Buddhist scripture into the space, keeping it for use in starting fires in the wild in the future.

Now she plans to count her dowry first so that she has an idea of how much it is.

When the original owner married with such extravagant ceremony, she took away nearly half of the general's estate. Add to that the dowry left by her grandmother and mother, and she had a huge fortune.

The deeds to some of the particularly profitable farms, shops, and restaurants have been taken away by Old Lady Zhao, and the accounts for the past two years have also been handed over to her. All the expenses of the mansion are paid from here, and no one knows where the remaining money went.

Other jewelry, jade ornaments, antique calligraphy and paintings, silk fabrics, precious medicinal materials, kang screen handles, and dowry money are still in the small storehouse in the main courtyard. Of course, a lot of them have been spent openly and secretly in the past two years.

There are so many varieties, huge quantities, and exquisite shapes that Nan Xi, a person living in the end times, is really an eye-opener.

She took out the dowry list that the original owner had hidden in the bottom layer of the dressing mirror, counted and admired it, and then marked out the missing parts.

These things were originally managed by Dongmei. Of the missing items, some matched the original owner's memory, while others did not. When Dongmei left, whether intentionally or not, she did not return the keys, and Nanxi pretended not to know.

In addition to these, there are also the silver bills that the original owner had kept in the bottom of the box and the loose change that he kept outside for spending.

The banknotes amounted to two hundred thousand taels. This was secretly given to her by General Nan when she got married, along with the dowry list, with the instruction that she should not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Nan Xi first put the banknotes into her space, leaving the rest as they were for now, to be collected at a more opportune time. She was planning to pin the blame on Dongmei, so Dongmei's refusal to hand over the keys suited her perfectly...

After counting everything, she felt hungry, and Chuntao came to order lunch.

After lunch, Nan Xi asked Chuntao to call all the people she brought as dowry, except Dongmei, to the main hall, because she had something to say.

After everyone gathered, Nan Xi sat at the top and looked down. Wow! There were really a lot of people!

In addition to the original owner's personal maid and several maids who served her regularly, there were also second- and third-class maids, servants, guards, seamstresses, cooks, and servants... Many of them could not even be identified by the original owner!

Not to mention that after Madam Zhao became the housekeeper, she found various excuses to drive away many of the people brought by the original owner, mainly the housekeeper and various stewards, as well as the servants who refused to listen to her.

Looking at the huge crowd of servants, Nan Xi couldn't help but feel a little touched.

It can be said that the original owner had a good hand, a typical "white, rich and beautiful" and "third generation of a military family" in ancient times.

With these conditions, she could have married a prince or a duke's son. Unfortunately, the original owner chose to marry Zhao Wenxuan, a Phoenix man. Not only did she live a miserable life, but she also ended up with no trace of her body left.

The reason why Nan Xi wanted to recruit people was, first, to meet and unify thoughts, second, to clean up the "workplace", and third, to deal with some people.

Otherwise, it would be like today, when a dog beside Old Madam Zhao scared everyone in her room into panic and trembling with fear. Isn't it ridiculous?

Nan Xi first had the gate of the courtyard closed and assigned two people to guard it.

Then he said, "I called you all here today to tell you something: you are all mine, and your deeds are in my hands only. No one in this mansion can punish you except me. From now on, you just have to hold your heads high and walk around in this mansion."

Everyone said yes and then looked at each other.

The atmosphere was a bit tense for a moment. Nan Xi saw that they looked like they had something to say but didn't dare to. She pointed to a handsome and pleasant-looking servant standing in the back and said, "Do you have any questions? Don't be afraid, just speak up. You won't be punished if you say something wrong."

The servant hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a determined look, "I will follow the young lady's instructions."

"It's just that, Madam... you once told us that we must obey the Master and the Madam... and the Butler..."

Nan Xi choked: "..."

This is the original owner's fault, and now she has to bear it bravely!

The original owner had indeed said this, and whenever there was a conflict between the people he brought with him and those bought by the Zhao family, the original owner would punish only his own people, regardless of right or wrong. Otherwise, how could these people in the mansion become so submissive?

Moreover, when Madam Zhao took charge of the household, she dismissed all the housekeepers and managers arranged by Nan Xi.

Aside from Chef Zhang, who was hired by General Nan at a high price and retained because of his excellent cooking skills, all other management positions were filled by her and her own people. However, she was reluctant to spend money, so she used the people from the general's mansion as free cattle and horses.

The original owner had never said a word for these people. No wonder the original owner had closed his eyes and ears in his previous life and was completely unaware of many things happening in this mansion.

It's so stupid.

Nancy said, "I came to the Zhao Mansion to marry down. We have the support of the General's Mansion, so we don't need to look to anyone for help."

"I was mistaken in the past, and I made you all look at others' faces. You don't have to do that in the future..."

Everyone had different reactions to this. Some were skeptical: "Is this true, Miss? Will she get angry with her son-in-law and then change back to her old ways tomorrow?"

Some showed joy on their faces: the young lady seemed to have finally figured it out and no longer wanted to put herself in a difficult position.

Some exclaimed in delight: "I've long disliked this family! They're just a merchant family, and yet they've produced a scholar who can reach the imperial examination. They're so proud of themselves! If it weren't for the young lady's praise, who in the capital would look up to them? Now..."

Chuntao and several maids and nannies were even happier.

Ever since the young lady beat Aunt Min yesterday, they felt that she was a little different, as if she had suddenly thrown off some shackles and returned to the unrestrained and free-spirited self she was before she got married.

No, the young lady has become more beautiful and calmer than before she got married, as if she has acquired the decisiveness and strategic aura of General Nan.

In short, their ladies really seem to be different!

From now on, they must behave themselves and not embarrass the young lady again!

Only the servant mustered up the courage to ask: "Then... in the future, when the housekeeper tells us to do something, will we do it?"

This is really a big deal, Nan Xi pondered for a moment.
