After a moment of silence, Uncle Lin spoke first, "Qingxue's point makes sense. Let's do this. Qingxue has indeed contributed so much to the family, so she deserves more."

Aunt Lin also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Qingxue is a kind-hearted child. We can't treat her unfairly."

Old Man Lin looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction: "Since everyone has no objections, then it's settled. You kids, work hard and our family will get better and better."

Lin Qingxue felt warm in her heart and said with a smile, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt, we are all family, so let's not talk nonsense. Let's work together to make our lives better."

"Okay, just discuss this among you brothers and sisters. No matter what happens in the future, I, the old man, hope that you will remember that you are a family and never let money hurt your feelings."

Old man Lin advised earnestly that his own children knew themselves, they all valued affection, and his grandchildren's wives were also good, and they educated the next generation very well.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go into the city tomorrow and clean up the houses and shops near the academy. Big brother, go find out what the requirements are for studying at Lixiang Academy. It would be best if you can get in, but if not, you can find another private school to study at."

Lin Qingxue said in a low voice that she didn't want to put too much pressure on Lin Xiaoshan and the others, although she had heard that the teachers at Lixiang Academy were not ordinary and one had to pass an exam to study there.

Lin Qingming nodded and said nothing more. What else could he say? He could only accept the order and work.

After chatting for a while, Lin Qingxue asked Lin Qingming to call Jiang Lei and the other eleven people over. She wanted to give them a lecture and divide the work among them.

Soon, Jiang Lei and his eleven companions came in. Lin Qingxue stood up and stood in front of them. She looked at Jiang Lei and his companions expressionlessly.

Lin Qingxue had been fleeing from the famine all the way here, had killed people and seen blood, and his body was full of murderous aura. He usually restrained it and didn't feel it, but now his aura was fully released, not only Jiang Lei and the others were scared, even the Lin family members were a little scared.

Seeing that she had intimidated Jiang Lei and his group, Lin Qingxue spoke up, "I don't care what you did in the past. Now that you've come to the Lin Mansion, don't do anything that betrays you. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Lei and the others. After hearing her words, the Lin family members also reacted. Although they didn't say anything, they understood her intention.

"The relationship in my Lin family is simple. The old master and the old lady have only two sons. The eldest master and the eldest grandmother have two sons, namely the eldest master Lin Qingming and the second master Lin Qingbai. The second master and the second grandmother have passed away. Their children are the third master Lin Qingran, the fourth lady, who is me, Lin Qingxue, the fifth master Lin Qingmin, and the sixth lady Lin Qingyue."

After a pause, Lin Qingxue thought of the Lin Xiaoshan brothers who had not yet been introduced, and continued, "The eldest young master Lin Xiaoshan, the second young master Lin Xiaotao, and the fifth young master Lin Xiaotan are all born to the eldest master. The third young master Lin Xiaoqi, the fourth young master Lin Xiaohan, and the ninth young master Lin Xiaohui are all born to the second master. The ninth young master Lin Xiaoyan and the eighth young master Lin Xiaokang are all born to the third master. The seventh young lady Lin Xiaoya and the tenth young lady Lin Xiaowan are my children. The fifth master and the sixth young lady are still unmarried. All the masters of my Lin family are legitimate children. The Lin family rules do not allow concubines."

When Lin Qingxue mentioned the words "all are legitimate children" and "no concubines allowed", she emphasized her tone. She thought Jiang Lei and the others would understand what she meant.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Qingxue said this, the expressions on Jiang Lei and the others' faces became much more serious.

Lin Qingxue told Jiang Lei and the others about the situation in the mansion. The next step was to explain their respective division of labor. She also had an idea in her mind.

"Jiang Lei used to be the housekeeper. You will continue to be the housekeeper. This is the money currently in the house. I will give it to you to manage first. If you manage it well, I will give you the rest to manage."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she took out her purse and threw it to Jiang Lei. There were more than two hundred taels of silver in the purse. This silver was from her family. She also put the silver she earned from selling grain in the space in it. In addition, she had spent some money during this period, so there were only more than two hundred taels of silver left.

"Yes, Fourth Miss," Jiang Lei stepped forward and took the purse with a very respectful attitude.

"Chunyu follows the Sixth Miss Qingxue, Chunmei and Chunlan follow the Seventh Miss and the Tenth Miss respectively. You must take good care of your respective masters."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she looked at the three maids she had bought separately. She bought them specially for her two daughters and Lin Qingyue, not only to take care of them and accompany them, but also to protect them.

"Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li are responsible for washing the family's clothes. Li Feiran follows the Fifth Master as his servant and book boy. Li Jiangyang is educated and is responsible for teaching the young masters and young ladies in the mansion to read and write. Mrs. Jiang Zhang and Jiang Rong are responsible for the kitchen work. Jiang Bin is responsible for the mansion's shopping and assists others."

Lin Qingxue spoke word for word about her arrangements for Jiang Lei and his eleven people. She didn't feel it when she bought them, but after dividing the work, she felt that some of the people were not enough. It seemed that after she made some money, she would have to buy a few more people to work.

"Yes, Fourth Miss," Jiang Lei and the others responded in unison. After the master assigned the tasks, everyone felt like they had a backbone and were no longer like headless flies without a goal.

"Okay, you guys go down and get to work! Opposite the kitchen is the warehouse. Put the things you bought today into the warehouse first. Jiang Lei and Li Jiangyang, remember to register them. It's snowing these days so there's not much work to do. Those of you who can make clothes can make some in your free time. Ask Jiang Bin to buy anything you need."

After the lecture, Lin Qingxue asked Jiang Lei and the others to go down to work. It was getting late, and it was time for Jiang Zhang and Jiang Rong, mother and daughter, to prepare dinner for the family.

After the servants left, only Lin Qingxue and her family were left in the front hall. Looking at Lin Qingming and others who were still a little confused, she smiled helplessly.

Lin Qingxue said to Lin Qingming and the others, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, the three of you will take the Xiaoshan brothers to the city tomorrow to clean up the house and the shop first. I will go with you and buy some food. I will teach my sisters-in-law how to cook at home in the next two days. You can try it. If you like it, we can sell the food in the shop later."

"Okay, we'll listen to you," Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law looked at each other and agreed without thinking.

Lin Qingming and his brothers also looked at each other, and everyone agreed. What objections could they have? Since they didn't know these things, they naturally listened to the people who knew.

Seeing that everyone was very "knowledgeable", Lin Qingxue was also very satisfied. She was not very good at cooking, but she knew how to eat! In her previous life, she learned a lot from watching short videos. She bought the ingredients and studied them. Isn't it delicious?
