Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 52 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 9

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Yuan Wei had passed the hundredth day of mourning.

One day, Yuan Wei was looking through the store's account book when she suddenly heard a commotion in the yard.

She put down the account book and was about to leave when she saw Jill walk in with a big smile on her face, "Great news, young lady!"

"Why are you so happy?" Yuan Wei was infected by her smile and started laughing too, even though she didn't know what was going on.

Ji'er was bought by Nanny Chen, along with Xiang'er. They were both older than Yuanwei, one was 16 and the other 15.

They used to serve in wealthy families, but now they have grown up and their faces have become more beautiful.

The mistress was unhappy and sent several maids out.

It happened that Nanny Chen was buying people, so she picked them out.

With them around, Yuan Wei felt that things were much more convenient.

They didn't know what the original owner was like before. With them taking care of her personally, Nanny Chen didn't have to keep an eye on Yuan Wei all the time, so Yuan Wei felt relieved.

As long as you don't go too far, no one will think too much of it.

"It's Mr. Su. He passed the college entrance examination and ranked tenth." Jill said happily.

"This is a happy occasion. Let's add a few more dishes and celebrate together." Yuan Wei was happy to hear this, but that was all. She didn't feel the same way.

"Ask Nanny Chen to pack a gift and have Uncle Zhao deliver it first." Yuan Wei then instructed.

"Yes." Jill bowed and walked out.

What servants like most is happy events in the master's family. Although the Yuan family has only one master, Jill, she is very happy here.

As long as you do your job well, the girl is easy to talk to, there is no intrigue, and you don't have to worry about being dragged into bed at any time.

Jill felt that her luckiest thing was that she was bought by Nanny Chen to serve the young lady after leaving the mansion.

That's why she was so happy when she heard that Yuan Wei's fiancé passed the imperial examination.

Mr. Su is still young. If he can become a scholar now, how far is he from becoming a juren or a jinshi?

In the future, the girl can also become an official’s wife.

Yuan Wei sat down again, but couldn't bear to look at the account book anymore.

When Jia Min was still in Gusu, Yuan Wei was thinking about whether to let Su Yuebai visit Lin Ruhai.

But later she felt that this was too deliberate, and Su Yuebai was just a student, and might be nothing in Lin Ruhai's eyes, so Yuan Wei let it go.

It’s better not to let people think that Su Yuebai is trying to curry favor with others. After all, what scholars value most is reputation.

Now that Su Yuebai can pass the examination to become a scholar at this age, then he should have no problem passing the examination to become a juren or jinshi.

Yuan Wei and Jier thought the same thing on this point. They both felt that the imperial examination should not be difficult for Su Yuebai.

What's more, just because he was not allowed to visit Lin Ruhai at that time does not mean he cannot visit now. Anyone who has the resources but does not use them is a fool.

It just so happened that something happened to Jia Min, and two letters came in succession urging Yuan Wei to go to Yangzhou.

Su Yuebai has already finished the college entrance examination, so it is reasonable to ask him to take him there.

Who told me that I have no close relatives and I can’t rely on my aunt’s family?

It is said that Yuan Cuizhu still did not give up during this period of time. She came several times but was sent back by Yuan Wei every time.

Also because she knew that Yuan Wei had contacted her aunt, she didn't dare to go too far.

Yuan Wei was annoyed that she always came to disturb others, so she caused trouble for the Xie family, and she never came again after that.

I just heard that Xie Cao'er often went to the Su family under her name. Fortunately, the Su family members knew what was going on and did not let her meet Su Yuebai.

This incident made Yuan Wei feel very disgusted. Just when she was about to teach her a lesson, she backed off.

Yuan Wei was in a state of turmoil during that time, not knowing what to do with her. In the end, it was so disgusting that she asked Nanny Chen to give her a warning, which frightened Xie Cao'er so much that she dared not to come forward.

Because she was going to Yangzhou, Yuan Wei had been sorting out her belongings these past two days, and now she had enough money for the time being.

The property left by the original owner's father was enough for Yuan Wei to live on. He should not be a poor scholar, but a rich scholar.

Most people are not as rich as him, like Su Yuebai. Even though he has passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, it would be difficult for him to take out any money.

Considering marrying Su Yuebai in the future, the Su family becomes a problem.

It is impossible for him to bring Su Yuebai and his servants with him while his family has no food to eat. Su Yuebai is not willing to do that.

In that case, he would not need to take the imperial examination anymore, and his reputation would be gone. What would be the point of the imperial examination then?

So Yuan Wei bought 30 acres of land near Sujia Village, and together with the Yuan family's original 50 acres of land, all of them were handed over to the Su family for management.

Since he didn't have anyone reliable and trustworthy to manage these farmlands, it would be best to hand them over to the Su family.

The other is to help the Su family in disguise. As long as the Su family behaves themselves and doesn't cause trouble for her, her goal will be achieved.

If Yuan Wei hadn't been worried about what others would say about Su Yuebai, she would have wanted to give these farmlands to the Su family.

In her eyes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

This is also the confidence given to her by traveling through so many worlds and holding space in her hands.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei picked up the account book and continued to look at it. It would be better to sort things out as soon as possible and go to Yangzhou to see what the situation was on Jia Min's side. Why did she suddenly urge her to go there?

After Yuan Wei finally finished flipping through the account book, she rubbed her swollen head and smiled bitterly. She still had to train Ji'er and Xiang'er. It didn't make sense that other people's maids were so capable while hers couldn't help, right?

"Miss?" Xiang'er walked in and saw Yuan Wei rubbing her forehead. He knew that she had been looking at the account book for too long again.

She walked behind Yuan Wei and reached out to help her rub her hair. "Miss, there's no need to be so anxious. The account book won't run away anyway. What will you do if you get tired?"

"You and Jill should learn quickly, and I won't be tired anymore."

"She's still learning. Sister Jill learns faster than me. Let her help the girl first." Xiang'er said cheerfully.

"You're refusing before you even start helping?" Yuan Wei clapped her hands in amusement.

"I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. Sister Jill already knew how to read, so she learned faster than me, didn't she?"

As Xiang'er finished speaking, Ji'er pushed the door open and came in. "What bad things are you saying about me?"

"I'm praising you, how could I say bad things about you?" Xiang'er said unwillingly.

"I'll believe you for now." Ji'er didn't argue with her, but said to Yuan Wei, "Miss, Nanny Chen has gone to the Su family with Uncle Zhao. Also, Brother Zhou Fu is back."

Zhou Fu and Sun Xiaoyu were bought from a human trafficker together with Jill and the others.

Sun Xiaoyu is a cook and had been working in the kitchen before. When Nanny Chen bought Jill and the others, she didn't think of buying Sun Xiaoyu. She came back and mentioned it to Yuan Wei, and Yuan Wei decided to buy her.

Yuan Wei felt that it would be better to have a dedicated chef at home. Although Nanny Chen could cook, she was old after all and sometimes not as agile. It would be bad if she accidentally fell.

I also appreciate her care for the original owner. Well, she was too attentive. It's not good to know the original owner too well.

Yuan Wei was slowly letting her handle external affairs and isolating her from her side.

To outsiders, it seems that they value her performance.

After Sun Xiaoyu came to the Yuan family, she had been working in the kitchen, while her husband Zhou Fu followed Uncle Zhao to run errands outside.

Last month Yuan Wei sent Zhou Fu to Yangzhou to do some work, and he has returned now.

Yuan Wei asked Xiang'er to stop and rest for a while, and instructed Ji'er: "Let him rest first, and call Sister Yu over."
