[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

"Besides the maids and servants I'll be using, bring in another thirty people for me to look after. The rest of you, send them to the house. Is the house ready?"

Except for Han Heming and the personal servants of the children, all the other people in their family were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She didn't know their background, so she didn't dare to use them for important tasks.

Even so, there are not enough people in the mansion, and there is a shortage of people everywhere.

She asked Jinfeng to bring in thirty people, but that was not enough. She also had to make a big fuss and buy more people from the pawnshop.

After Song Yanzhi finished speaking, she looked at Bai Lang, who was in charge of purchasing the house.

"Master, everything has been bought. The house is on Qianlong Street. According to Madam's request, only a three-story courtyard was purchased. Everything has been packed up. People from Jinfeng can deliver it directly."

"Then send it over. If there's nothing else, just leave."

Song Yanzhi waved her hand. Jinfeng and Bai Lang had always done a better job in these matters. Asking him today was just out of respect for her as her master.

Jinfeng and Bai Lang did not retreat, and both looked a little hesitant.

"what happened?"

Song Yanzhi looked at the two of them in confusion. She had personally trained them, teaching them step by step. They were usually cheerful, so why were they being so shy now?

Jinfeng and Bai Lang looked at each other, and finally Bai Lang spoke.

"Master, the other stewards want to see you. Do you want to see them?"

The master has a laid-back nature and hates meeting them or lecturing them the most.

"It's gone. If you have anything to deal with, you two can handle it. If you can't handle it, come back to me."

Song Yanzhi waved her hand and refused.

Bai Lang had a look on his face that said, "As expected," and he and Jin Feng retreated.

In the afternoon, Jinfeng sent over the maids and servants whom she had carefully trained.

There were ten people in total, two old women, four senior maids, and four second-class maids.

When Jinfeng bought these maids and servants, she didn't expect that Song Yanzhi would be the wife of the Duke of Puguo. She only assigned them according to the servants who would serve the wives of ordinary families. There were not many people, and they were used as temporary helpers.

"Madam, we have brought everyone here. Can you take a look?"

There are ten people following Jinfeng. If these ten people are selected by Song Yanzhi, they will become the most useful people around Song Yanzhi in the future. Jinfeng brought these people to see Song Yanzhi individually.

Song Yanzhi was still sitting on the same chair she had been sitting on this morning. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the ten people standing in front of her.

She didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

The ten maids and old women had their heads lowered. When Song Yanzhi didn't say anything, the ten of them just stood there quietly, without making any sound, and without any signs of nervousness or sweat on their foreheads.

Good, the psychological quality is strong.

She doesn't want the maids and old women around her because they would get distracted when something happens. She didn't want them before, and she doesn't want them now with her status.

In the future, she will have to go in and out of wealthy families at any time, and how the maids and servants around her behave will represent her reputation.

Song Yanzhi finished half a cup of tea before speaking slowly.

"Please introduce yourselves."

As Song Yanzhi finished speaking, the first woman on the left, who was about thirty years old, with a round face and blue clothes, took two steps forward and bowed to Song Yanzhi.

"I, the servant Shulan, greet my master. May the master be blessed.

The servant is good at cooking and has some knowledge of medicine.

Her mother's family used to be Jirentang in Huairen County, Shanxi Province. Later, she married another man, but the man broke his promise and sent her back to her mother's family.

Seven years ago, my family fell into poverty and I was forced to sell myself as a servant.”

Song Yanzhi was very surprised to find that he knew the art of medicine. She nodded with satisfaction.

After Shulan finished speaking, another woman in blue clothes, who was about the same age as Shulan, came out and spoke like Shulan.

"The servant Qiao Banniang pays homage to the master. Long live the master.

The servant was good at housekeeping and accounting, and used to be the housekeeper of the second wife of the Zhongshu Sheren.

After the lady passed away due to illness, the master of the house drove out all the servants and their families.”

Qiao Banniang's words made Song Yanzhi frown slightly.

Wei Wuji, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, was a man of great talent and was trusted by the Emperor. He had once lived in the capital and was also a member of a prominent family.

He has a younger brother, Wei Wuyang, who is completely different from his brother. He is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He married a woman named Tang when he was twenties.

The Tang family was a prominent family in Yangfeng, and the women raised there were gentle and virtuous. Tang married into the capital from Yangfeng a few years ago and had a good reputation in the capital.

It is said that such a woman was angered to death by Wei Wuyang.

When Song Yanzhi first heard the news, she sighed in her heart that women should not be too submissive. When meeting someone like Wei Wuyang, it is better to be more aggressive.

Although she lamented Tang's bad luck, it was hard to say who the housekeepers around other people were loyal to.

Besides, the Tang family is a big family, and there is a high probability that Qiao Banniang is Tang's dowry maid. If the Tang family finds out that Wei Wuyang sold her, who knows if they will come looking for her and ask for her back.

By then, she can't just not let him go.

Jinfeng saw that Song Yanzhi looked unhappy, and she looked uneasy and asked carefully.

"Madam, are you dissatisfied with anything?"

Song Yanzhi didn't say anything. Jinfeng always did things properly. She must have had her considerations for buying Qiao Jiuniang into the mansion.

"Nothing, keep going."

Then four big maids came out. Their names were Juhua, Erniu, Zhaodi and Suijie.

Song Yanzhi disliked the names of several maids, so she named them Baoqin, Siqi, Shishu and Zhihua after the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Baoqin is calm and steady, and like Qiao Jiuniang, is good at managing the household and accounting.

Song Yanzhi smiled inwardly. Jinfeng was afraid that Qiao Jiuniang would leave, so she specially selected a housekeeper for her.

Siqi has a cheerful personality, speaks with grace and grace, and is very good at dealing with people. The best thing is that Siqi has a good memory and can remember everyone she has met once.

She could name all the members of the wealthy and powerful families in Beijing and recite them by heart.

Shishu is quiet in nature, but can make good tea.

Zhihua is an expert in embroidery and a skilled hairstylist.

The maid trained by Jinfeng really took into consideration her food, clothing, housing and transportation.

So, Song Yanzhi asked Baoqin and Siqi to serve her personally, and Shishu and Zhihua, one to be in charge of tea and the other to be in charge of dressing curtains.

For the remaining four second-class maids, Song Yanzhi gave them plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and changed them to Spring Plum, Summer Orchid, Winter Bamboo and Autumn Chrysanthemum.

Let these four people work with the four big maids first, and then assign them other servants after they are familiar with their personalities.

All the maids and servants around her were settled.

Song Yanzhi asked several of her sons to come and assigned four people to each of them.

She also prepared four for her daughters, and Han Heming also had four in his yard.

The remaining people were placed in various places in the mansion.
