Xi Qingyan has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't want to manage the Shangshu Mansion at all.

After all, to her, except for the dowry from Xi Qingyan's biological mother, she didn't care about anything else in Shangshu Mansion.

Now, Mrs. Shangshu has fallen ill, and the Shangshu Mansion has a large financial gap. Xi Qingyan does not want to step in to take over the affairs at this time.

"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Chuntao, let Xi Chuyu do the work in Shangshu Mansion. You and I will take care of the people in our courtyard."

Xi Qingyan gave orders to Chuntao.

"Yes, Miss, Chuntao knows! Don't worry, Chuntao has kicked out all the people in our courtyard who don't share our hearts. This is their list, Miss, please take a look."

Chuntao felt that the young lady had been given a new life when she returned. Not only did she do things differently from before, but her personality was also different now.

The former eldest lady valued the Shangshu Mansion very highly. If she knew that Xi Chuyu was in charge of the family, she would be so uncomfortable that she would not be able to eat.

But now, when the eldest lady heard that the second lady was in charge of all matters in the Shangshu's house, she didn't even move her eyebrows.

Chuntao felt that the current eldest lady was really calm and powerful.

"There are a total of six people on this list. There are a total of sixteen servants to serve this lady and manage this courtyard. Apart from you, Chuntao, there are still fifteen people left. Among the fifteen people, Mrs. Shangshu has placed six people to watch me.

They really think highly of me!"

Xi Qingyan looked at the list in her hand and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Chuntao, what do they do in my Hanli Garden?"

"Miss, these Huang San and Li Er are in charge of carriages and horses. My wife arranged for them to be with you. She probably wants to know what you are doing when you go out. Previously, when the eldest lady went to the Divine Doctor Pavilion to meet the Master of the Divine Doctor Valley,

, the slave girl discovered that the two of them went to the madam’s yard to spread the news, and then the slave girl deliberately deceived them, and finally they all did it! "

"As for Xia Xiang and Qiu Xiang, they are responsible for the food supply in our courtyard. They bring all the food that can go into the lady's mouth. Before the slaves came to serve the lady in the courtyard, they once delivered clean clothes.

When I passed Madam's yard, I saw this summer fragrance and Qiuxiang serving Madam in Madam's house."

Xi Qingyan felt relieved when she heard what Chuntao said.

"The maids who have served Madam are young, but they are willing to work as cooks in my Hanyuan. This is problematic in itself..."

"Yes, miss, this slave thinks so too! If Xia Xiang Qiuxiang and the others make a big fuss in the Han Garden and are picky about the work assigned by our Han Garden, the slave will not expel them.

Go out, but the problem is that the behavior of the two of them is really abnormal!"

Chuntao had observed Xia Xiang Qiuxiang for a period of time. These two were the maids serving in the madam's house, and it was difficult for them to be on the same page as the eldest lady.

"Who are these two remaining people?"

Xi Qingyan looked at the people on the list and asked for the exit.

"Miss, these are Qing'er and Ming'er. They are the maids who make your bed for you, Miss. Qing'er and Ming'er are not necessarily Madam's, but their hands and feet are not clean. When I saw them, I saw them turning Miss your bed

Take out the gold and silver jewelry and sell them!"

"Now, the eldest lady has asked for all the dowry of Mrs. Xian Shangshu. From now on, there will be a lot of good things in Hanlianyuan. If we keep two people with unclean hands and feet like Qing'er Ming'er to serve the lady, If so, the dowry left by the madam will definitely be remembered by them." Kanshu La

Chuntao told the eldest lady exactly what was in her heart.

"Miss, this is the first time Chuntao has managed such a large courtyard. There will always be things that I don't do well enough. If I do something wrong, please point it out, Miss, and Chuntao will change it immediately!"

Chuntao was still a little uneasy in her heart. She had always been a little maid who washed clothes, but now the eldest lady asked her to be the master of Hanliyuan. For a moment, Chuntao was grateful to the eldest lady, but also very uneasy.

She was also very unsure of herself in every move she made.

"Need not

Gai, Chuntao, you did a good job. You dealt with these people very carefully in every aspect, and you were foresighted about Qing'er Ming'er."

Xi Qingyan smiled and praised.

She made Chuntao the eldest maid of Hanliyuan because she valued Chuntao's loyalty. Now, Chuntao is not only loyal to her, but is also a good hand in management.

In such a short period of time, she dug out all the delicate works planted in Hanlian Garden. It must be said that this spring peach made her impressed.

"But, among the two of you, Xia Xiang and Qiu Xiang, please leave one behind."

"Leave one person alone?"

Chuntao was very happy to be praised by the eldest lady, but when she heard that Xi Qingyan wanted to keep Mrs. Shangshu's people, she suddenly felt confused.

"Miss, Xia Xiang Qiuxiang belongs to Madam. If they stay with you, they will definitely tell Madam everything about Miss!"

"Moreover, Xia Xiang Qiuxiang and the others are responsible for your food, Miss. If they tamper with your food, Miss, we will have no way of guarding against it!"

Chuntao's words made Xi Qingyan's lips curl up.

If it were Xi Qingyan in the past, she would naturally not be able to leave behind the two masterpieces of Xia Xiang Qiuxiang, but now Xi Qingyan is the master of the Miracle Doctor Valley. If she can be plotted by someone like Xia Xiang Qiuxiang, she will also There is no need to call him the Master of the Miracle Medical Valley anymore!

"Chuntao, you have to know that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. What will Mrs. Shangshu think after she sees that we have found out all the details she arranged?"

Xi Qingyan had some thoughts about cultivating Chuntao, so she deliberately guided her.

"If Chuntao is Madam, I will definitely think of quietly inserting others into Hanlian Garden, because I can't let you lose control, Miss!"

"Look, you can imagine that my wife will naturally do the same thing."

Chuntao is easy to understand, and Xi Qingyan's teaching is also easy.

"Instead of letting Madam find out that we drove away all the craftsmen sent by her, it would be better to leave one person behind, so that Madam can rest assured, and we can also make use of the one person left behind."

Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.

Leaving a masterpiece of Madam Shangshu with her, Xi Qingyan can see what tricks Madam Shangshu, mother and daughter, are going to play!

"Yes, Miss. You are very considerate. Which one of Xia Xiang and Qiuxiang does the eldest want to keep?"

"Qiuxiang."

"Miss, in order to prevent Qiuxiang from tampering with your food, I asked Qiuxiang to make your bed. What do you think, Miss?"

"..."

Xi Qingyan can naturally understand Chuntao's arrangement.

Although she was not worried that Qiuxiang could poison her to death, she would not betray Chuntao's kindness.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Chuntao. Don't forget that you are the maid of Hanli Garden."

"Yes, Miss!"

With Chuntao's help, Xi Qingyan eliminated all the miscellaneous people in Hanlian Garden.

Now that Hanlian Garden is her territory, she no longer goes to the Divine Doctor Pavilion to prepare the medicine Su Lixiao needs. Xi Qingyan quietly stays in Hanlian Garden to study Prince Li's condition, while Chuntao is responsible for Hanlian's illness.

The servants in the garden have nothing serious to do and are not allowed to disturb the eldest lady.

For two days in a row, there was no surprise or danger.

Hanlianyuan is quiet and peaceful.

On the morning of the third day, when Chuntao was thinking about pouring tea for the eldest lady, the people in Hanliyuan suddenly started to make a fuss.

"What are you arguing about here? I don't know that the eldest lady is reading a book inside!"

Chuntao scolded Hanlianyuan's servants.

"Sister Chuntao, this is incredible! You still don't know that something is going on outside?"

When the people in Hanliyuan saw Xi Qingyan's personal maid Chuntao coming over, they quickly told Chuntao what happened.

"If anything happens, I can't disturb the eldest lady. Hanlianyuan is fine. The eldest lady is also in the house. What can happen?"

Chuntao

Looking at the servants in Hanliyuan in front of them, their eyes were full of doubts.

All her affairs now revolve around the eldest lady. As long as the eldest lady is doing well, there will be no big deal for Chuntao!

"Sister Chuntao, it's not the eldest lady who's in trouble, it's us servants!"

"Sister Chuntao, haven't you noticed that it's been two days since the monthly payment was distributed, and there's still no movement at Peony Garden?"

When Chuntao heard what the people below said, she suddenly remembered the monthly money.

"Indeed, in the past, my wife would ask us to gather at Mr. Accountant's place in the evening before the monthly payment day, but now it has been a day or two, and there is still no information about this matter!

"

Seeing that Chuntao also remembered this matter, everyone couldn't help complaining to Chuntao.

"We are not slaves born into the Chancellor's family. Although the sale contract is still in Madam's hands, we still have to support a large family, don't we?"

"The day before yesterday, I stayed at the cashier's office all afternoon, but the cashier didn't say a word! He didn't say when he would give us the monthly payment. You said that my wife and children are just waiting for the rice and noodles to be cooked. He

If I don’t get monthly money, where will I be able to support my big family?”

"I heard someone say before that the reason why our wife is able to support a large family is because of the dowry of the late madam! Now, after our eldest lady asked for the dowry of the late madam, the madam immediately changed her mind.

Became a pauper!"

"I've heard about this too! I used to see my wife going out and about with all her beautiful clothes, and I thought she was a decent mistress, but I didn't expect that she was taking someone else's trousseau to show off her generosity!"

Complaints spread everywhere, alarming Xi Qingyan who was reading medical books in the room.

She put down the medical book in her hand, but she did not leave the room.
