Noble Lady

"Miss San, there's no need to rush to refuse. I'm just asking what you're thinking first. If you're interested, I'll let you see the other person's appearance and understand their character before you decide. I won't let you get married blindly."

Xue Chenyu's attitude was gentle and her tone was slowed down.

He Shuang was extremely resistant before, but her resistance had eased somewhat when she persuaded Zhang; now she said that it would allow her to understand the other person's appearance and character, and her inner resistance was reduced even more.

But he had to be stubborn. "Even if you say so, I won't..."

"It's okay." Without giving her the chance to say the word "relax", Xue Chenyu turned around and spoke to Zhang with a smile.

"If there are any suitable girls from the Second Madam's family, you can introduce one or two. As long as they don't mind that my father's subordinates are uneducated and rough."

This was a great opportunity to get closer to Xue Chenyu, so Zhang said yes and agreed without hesitation.

Now it was the third girl He Shuang's turn to be unhappy.

Aren't you going to arrange a marriage for her? Why are you bringing those people from my maternal grandparents into the mix? Who the hell are they?

Even if she has to choose, she has to choose first.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of people are you talking about? Even if they are not well-educated, they should still be respectful and polite. After all, I am a girl from the He family. I can't let people criticize me for marrying an illiterate blind man."

He Shuang was still a little shy when she said this. She bit her lower lip and found it difficult to speak.

But she was afraid that she would be overshadowed by the girls of her age from her maternal grandparents' family, so she didn't care about being shy.

Zhang was so surprised by her sudden change of attitude that she forgot to teach her a lesson, saying that girls should not behave like this.

"Don't worry, I will carefully select the person to marry the third lady."

Xue Chenyu had experienced that life, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with being bolder when choosing a husband.

Just don't run away from marriage and elope like in your previous life.

She did not let Zhang's two daughters-in-law go and greeted them both.

They are all daughters of ordinary families. When ordinary families marry their daughters off, they simply hope that their daughters can find a reliable man.

I can’t say I’ll have a life of luxury in the second half of my life, but at least I’ll have a stable life, no worries about food and clothing, and no need to worry about making a living.

The rough and rough man who was not wanted by the He family was a good son-in-law for their family situation.

So Zhang's two daughters-in-law happily agreed and said they would go back to their parents' home to talk about it another day.

Xue Chenyu also promised that she would find a painter to go to the camp to draw portraits of the soldiers of marriageable age, and when she came back she would let He Shuang choose first, which made her blush.

The purpose of visiting various places in the He family today has been achieved, so Xue Chenyu went home.

Liu will probably regret it later if she looks down on someone.

As for the fourth lady He Jixiang, she could also make arrangements for her with good reason.

As for He Shuang, the third lady from the second house, as long as she is not stupid enough to seek trouble for herself, for Zhang's sake, he doesn't mind giving her a hand.

Return to Furongju.

Xue Chenyu asked Yuzhu and the others to keep a low profile for the next two days. Zhang had just taken over the family, so she didn't want to cause trouble for her.

Ever since Xue Chenyu was reborn, Yuzhu is the busiest among the girls in Furongju, with endless running around and errands to do.

If she doesn't go out for the past two days, she can lock herself in the small kitchen and make some delicious food for the girl.

So Yuzhu was the happiest one.

Yumei was depressed for a while, but Xue Chenyu said that she was not affected and she could continue doing what she was doing. Then she jumped up happily.

Her restless nature is now completely exposed.

I used to think she was honest and would do whatever you gave her, but now I realize that it was because I hadn't found the mechanism to trigger her playful nature.

Now that the mechanism has been triggered, she is becoming more and more restless.

However, she has always been responsible for keeping an eye on what's going on in every corner of the mansion. She's small and inconspicuous, knows how to do things in moderation, and has good relationships with people in the mansion, so Xue Chenyu just let her do what she wants.

"Qiuhua, I don't think I slept well these past two days, and my shoulders and neck are a little uncomfortable. Can you massage them for me?"

"Okay girl."

Qiuhua practices martial arts and is also familiar with acupoint massage. Whenever I feel a little uncomfortable, she helps me with massage.

Qiuhua rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands and began to massage Xue Chenyu.

"Miss, I'll go to Ciwenyuan to talk to Xiaocao first." Yumei rubbed her hands excitedly.

Xue Chenyu waved her hand and let her go.

"Speaking of which, this little girl is quite agile." Qiuhua suddenly said, "Last time in the yard, Dongyue and I were playing with this little girl, and we almost didn't catch her."

Something seemed to flash through Xue Chenyu's mind. He looked at Yumei's back as she ran out, lost in thought.

……

Xue Chenyu kept a low profile for two days, and Zhang had officially taken over the housekeeping duties.

The monthly allowance for everyone in the mansion was suddenly raised from ten or fifteen taels to two taels.

The servants' wages were even lower. After Xue Chenyu got married, the head maids and mothers received five taels of silver, and the maids who did the rough work received three taels of silver. After the adjustment, each person only received one tael of silver per month.

He Ruyi was the first one who couldn't sit still.

He didn't care that he was still under "house arrest" and went to Zhang to ask for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Zhang was much more cunning than her. She went to find Liu to cry and complain early in the morning.

"Sister-in-law, you've been in charge of this household, and you know the situation. There's no money in the account now, it's all in the red."

Liu had previously tried to smooth things over, but Zhang's crying was like having her face torn off again and thrown to the ground and stepped on.

She clasped the beads in her hand several times to keep the last trace of smile on her face from breaking.

"Second sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. Asking you to be the housekeeper doesn't mean you can use money to subsidize the public. That doesn't make sense. You..."

"But there are so many people in the family, and each person needs ten taels of silver per month. Where can I get so much money?" Zhang didn't give Liu a chance to speak, and started talking a lot.

"Yes, there are servants, and daily expenses for food and drink, as well as your medicine and supplements, sister-in-law. Where do all these come from?"

"I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night. Look, my hair has turned a lot whiter."

Zhang was a bold person. When it came to hair, she would actually pull out her own hair and show it to Liu.

Liu was caught off guard and was almost knocked down by her.

Huang's mother quickly supported him and prevented him from falling.

"Are you okay, sister-in-law?" Zhang realized it later and wanted to come over to help her.

Mrs. Liu quickly leaned against Mother Huang to avoid her hand.

Who knows what tricks she might come up with next.
