He also said that they would meet again soon after the war ended, and the three of them would come to Kaoshan Village to meet them in person.

When Liu and her husband heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Fu did not change her mind. She said that the next time they meet, it will be time for her daughter and Yuan Ge'er to get engaged.

Fu also mentioned in the letter that she heard that the court had sent people to build a county lord's mansion. Thinking that the Xiao family had changed its status now, her daughter-in-law would still be a county lord enjoying a fiefdom in the future, and it would be inevitable that she would have to interact with people in officialdom in the future.

Someone is definitely needed to take care of the mansion and train the staff. In the case of the county lord's mansion, the servants around her have to be taken out with her, and they can no longer be trained like the servants of ordinary landlords and gentry.

After much consideration, Fu sent the third son of her confidante Qian Pozi and his family, as well as a second-class maidservant by her side.

Mrs. Qian's eldest and second sons had already taken up jobs in the general's mansion, and there was no suitable position for Qian San and his wife to stay with her. The couple were both very capable, experienced people, and had seen the world.

Just as he thought that his future daughter-in-law might need help, he sent her over to find a job in the Xiao family.

The second-class maidservant beside Fu was originally named Qingzhu. If Xiao Wanruo didn't like this name, she could just rename Qingzhu herself.

Although Qingzhu is a second-class maid, her knowledge and ability are no less than those of a first-class maid. She was once the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Because her family was confiscated and she was dismissed from office, she was sent to slavery.

But Qingzhu is first-class in terms of interpersonal communication and literacy, and he is also very good at managing the affairs of the inner house.

If the position of the first-class maid beside Fu had not been vacant, Qingzhu would have been promoted to the first rank long ago.

Fu was also particularly satisfied with Qingzhu's behavior, so she sent her here thinking of her future daughter-in-law's needs.

Qingzhu himself is also willing to fight for a way out.

Attached to the letter was the family and Qingzhu's indenture.

If it were someone else, seeing their future mother-in-law do this, they might feel unhappy.

I haven't even gotten engaged yet, but my in-laws are already interfering in the affairs of my servants. They are being too nosy.

You might even become estranged from your husband's family.

But Xiao Wan and Fu Shi are not such narrow-minded people who think too much.

At the end of the letter, Fu also frankly stated that she had no intention of interfering or meddling in the affairs of the Xiao family and her future daughter-in-law, the County Lord's Mansion.

It's not that I want to be the boss of my daughter-in-law. I just think about what she might need, so I take the initiative to prevent her from feeling distant from me.

How could Xiao Wan think so? Fu even brought her the indenture contract. Isn’t that generous and thoughtful enough?

How could she have any resentment towards her? She just felt that she was born to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Fu. She really understood herself!

Isn’t this just like a pillow appearing when you doze off?

The person sent by Fu must be very capable, otherwise she would not be sent to be her daughter-in-law. If she is not capable, it would be disgraceful if something goes wrong.

This solved a problem for him. He could now give the servants he had bought to Qian Sanliang and his wife for training, and test their abilities.

Originally, there was only Tian Shuang by his side, and sometimes he was really too busy. This was just right, and he could keep Qingzhu by his side. If she was capable enough, she would stay by his side in the future.

As for Qian San and his wife, if they are really capable, Qian San will be the steward of the county lord's mansion in the future, and Qian San's wife Zhang can also take on the job of working in the kitchen first.

After reading the letter, Xiao Wan looked at Qian San's family calmly, indicating that she already understood Fu's intention and asked them to stay at home with peace of mind. After the county lord's mansion was built, they would be needed to help take care of it.

Qian San and his wife saw that although the county lady was born into a peasant family, she had very graceful manners. They were not flattered to receive the letter from Fu, a first-rank lady, but only felt happy to receive a letter from a relative.

What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that the relationship between the county lady and the lady is indeed very good, and the county lady may be the future mistress of the general's mansion.

After hearing what the county lady said, the two of them were delighted and quickly bowed again before agreeing.

Before coming, they had heard their mother talk about the county lady's identity, thinking that she would be the future young lady of the general's mansion. They were asked to serve the county lady well and serve her with all their heart, as they would be grateful for her kindness in the future.

When Qian San's elder and second brothers learned that he was going to the remote Jiyun City to work for a county lady who was born a peasant girl, they looked down on him.

Jiyun City is not as wealthy as the capital, and the County Lady's Mansion is not as powerful as the General's Mansion. The third brother and his wife are really useless. They are getting worse and worse.
