Lin Siyao's intention was very simple. As long as it was beneficial to Su Shuiche, he would agree.
Mama Liang was right. During the confinement period after giving birth, there was a need for manpower. Originally, he wanted to ask Aunt Lao to help, but now that there was such a group of trained maidservants ready to serve Shuiche, he had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, it was better to have someone to live in the house that was built for Louis Stu and the other two than to have no one to clean it up.
After all, there were a lot of bamboo bushes and flowers in the courtyard of the four-mu mansion, so someone had to clean and take care of it from time to time.
The furniture and furnishings in the house also needed to be cleaned. Otherwise, when Louis Stu and the other two moved in, who knew when they would have the time to come, the house would be filled with dust and withered leaves.
As for Louis Stu and the other two, even if they moved in in the future, they would still need a maidservant who could cook and a handyman who could take care of the garden. Otherwise, with their temperament, they would definitely stay at home after three meals.
Lin Siyao would never admit that he kept Mama Liang and the others to prevent Louis Stu and the other two from disturbing his and Shuiche's warm and quiet family in the future. Oh, no, it would be a real four-person world in the coming year.
… …
In the early afternoon, Aunt Lao and Aunt Tian knocked on the door with their arms around each other.
They saw a well-dressed woman standing respectfully beside Su Shuiche in the central room. She was reporting to Su Shuiche about how everyone had settled down in the four-mu mansion.
Thus, the two of them carefully picked a seat that was further away and sat down. Their eyes indicated that Su Shuiche did not need to pay attention to them for now.
"Madams, please have some tea!"
The maidservant, who was quietly waiting on the side, saw this and offered Aunt Lao and Aunt Tian a cup of top-grade fragrant tea from the Prince Jing Palace.
"Ah … this … thank you!
Thank you! "
When had Aunt Lao and Aunt Tian ever received such treatment? Not to mention never received it, they had never even seen such a respectful and courteous scene.
The two of them hurriedly took the cups and carefully placed them on the small table by their hands. Only then did they calm down and sit on the chairs.
They looked at each other and exchanged their speculations. [Sure enough, this Shui lass is really a young miss from a big family.]
Previously, when they heard all kinds of rumors circulating in the village, the two of them didn't believe it, so they specially invited him over to take a look.
Wasn't this the case? Judging from the situation, it was indeed so!
He just didn't know why this girl didn't want to be the daughter of a rich family and would rather come to this remote village to be a farmer's embroiderer.
Could it be that she really eloped with Ah Yao?
However, looking at Lin Siyao, he didn't seem like an ordinary person.
Not to mention his powerful martial arts, his temperament … Tsk tsk, if he hadn't married yet, which girl wouldn't admire him?
Therefore, they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they scratched their heads.
"Young Miss, Son-in-law said that with him here, there's no need to send guards over.
Then, this servant will arrange for Bodyguard Xiao and the others to stay in the three courtyards of Bamboo Garden. I will also leave one servant girl and one manservant in each courtyard. The rest of this servant and Chunlan will serve Miss. "
Nanny Liang reported on the manpower arrangements she had made in the four-mu mansion without missing a beat.
Originally, she wanted to arrange for two guards to guard the courtyard entrance to protect young miss. Unexpectedly, Son-in-law said that there was no need for guards here.
At first, she didn't understand why the old Prince and Princess Consort chose the eight guards with the best martial arts skills in the Prince Jing Residence. Even the head of the guards came because they considered that the Emperor was far away and they were afraid that Miss would be at a disadvantage.
However, before coming here, the young master had removed the sword from Captain Xiao's hand with one move in the Bamboo Garden, and then disappeared with a leap. Not only her and the servants who did not know martial arts, but even the eight imperial bodyguards, especially Captain Xiao, began to worship the young master to the extreme.
He was simply a legendary martial arts expert!
How could these guards, who only knew how to fight with swords, not be envious?
If Son-in-law could teach them a few moves, their martial arts would definitely increase by a lot.
If they went back to participate in the Golden Guard Competition held every three years, it would be a piece of cake!
"… Young Miss, during this time, we will be staying in the Bamboo Garden temporarily. I'm afraid that we won't be able to serve young miss at night.
This servant … "
Mama Liang seemed to be apologetic. They were ordered to serve the fourth young miss, but they were arranged to stay in a new residence one li away.
They didn't look like they were here to serve young miss, but to enjoy life.
Other than herself and Chunlan, the other maids and manservants only needed to clean the bamboo garden and tidy up the courtyard.
Even coming here early in the morning to greet young miss and Son-in-law was canceled by Son-in-law, saying that it wasn't necessary.
As for serving at night, because there weren't any extra side rooms here, she and Chun Lan wanted to take turns to keep watch in the central room. However, this idea was also rejected by Son-in-law.
It must be … Mama Liang thought of Son-in-law's intention and her old face blushed.
"Mama Liang, Ah Yao has already told me.
This arrangement is good.
Mama, you don't have to worry about it.
As for what the maidservants should and shouldn't do, it's fine as long as Mama clearly explains it to them. "Su Shuiyong gently took over Mama Liang's words, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.
After lunch break, Ah Yao had already told her about these arrangements, and she naturally agreed.
After all, this courtyard couldn't accommodate so many servants. As for nighttime … When she thought of her and Ah Yao's intimate scene, her ears and neck couldn't help but heat up.
Su Shuiche quickly gathered her scattered thoughts and paused before continuing, "However, that Bamboo Garden was built for Ah Yao and his two brothers. As for when they will move in, I don't know the exact date. I just hope that when they come, the servants will scrupulously abide by the rules and don't overstep."
She didn't want the servants' strict and pragmatic work attitude to be worn down by the idle days and then anger Louis Stu and his two brothers.
They were real assassins.
"Young miss, don't worry. This servant has already reminded them of this when they moved into Bamboo Garden.
They definitely won't forget their duties. "Mama Liang replied seriously.
Even if the servants from the Prince Jing Palace weren't as good as the servants from other noble families in other aspects, they would never fall behind others if they abided by their duties.
Moreover, the old prince and the old princess had already considered this point when they came here to serve the young miss. They were afraid that the servants would become greedy and arrogant after leaving the Palace, so they specially ordered her to accompany the old princess's highest-ranking nanny, Nanny Xia, to carefully select the servants.
Nanny Xia not only had a decent appearance and nimble hands, but most importantly, she had served the old princess with Nanny Xia before. Nanny Xia was very obedient and absolutely reliable.
"That's good." Su Shuiche nodded, "Nanny, I'll have a few words with the two aunts.
After settling here, they have given us a lot of help. "
"Then this servant will leave first."
Mama Liang bowed to Su Shuiche and turned to nod to Aunt Tian with a smile, "Many thanks to the two madams for taking care of my young miss.
The thank you gift is ready. When madam comes home later, Chun Lan will bring it when I send you back. "
"This … how can this be!
It's not!
It's not! "Aunt Tian hurriedly waved her hand to decline.
The neighbors had been going back and forth, so they had never thought that there would be a thank you gift.
"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. This was the old princess's order before she left. She said that whoever is good to the young miss will be rewarded with a gift, but whoever hurts the young miss will not be forgiven." Mama Liang smiled as she conveyed the old princess's order.
She also took the opportunity to knock on the two women, hoping that the nearby villagers would open their eyes and not bully their young miss.
Humph, how could the legitimate fourth young miss of the Prince Jing Palace be bullied by others?
"Nanny, it's not as serious as you say.
It's true that they are good to me, but no one hurts me. "Su Shuiche didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Young miss, this servant also hopes that no one will bully young miss. This servant was just speaking casually.
Then this servant will leave. The two madams will chat with young miss. Later, Chun Lan will send the two of you back. "
Mama Liang smiled as she comforted Su Shuiche. She turned around and waved at Chun Lan, indicating that she should go out with her to prepare the gift list.
"Phew, daughter …" Aunt Tian saw that Mama Liang and Chun Lan had both left before she let out a sigh of relief. Although that Mama Liang was only a nanny who served people, the pressure she exuded was very frightening.
Oh my, the maidservants in large families all wore more exquisite clothes than her own daughter-in-law and daughter.
Their gestures were also more imposing than her.
"Aunt Tian, Aunt Tian … I …" When Su Shuiche saw their actions, she couldn't help but laugh and feel a bit apologetic. Although it wasn't her original intention, the original body's status made her feel as if she had deceived this simple and kind peasant woman.
"Aiyo, we were just curious and came to take a look. It's really nothing.
But, to be honest, daughter, you really are … are you … "Aunt Tian wanted to ask the question in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to open her mouth.
She felt that the word "Palace" was too far away from them.
"The young miss of the Palace?" Aunt Tian smoothly answered.
Even if it was inconceivable, it wouldn't hurt to ask.
"Un.
It seems so.
However, Ah Yao and I will still stay here.
This is our home. "
Blossom Town was the first town she came into contact with after coming here. It was beautiful, quiet, and leisurely. She would never leave here and move to another place.
Even if the children grew up in the future and Ah Yao took them to go sightseeing, they wouldn't forget that this was their home. This was where her roots in the Dahui Kingdom were.
"Un, we also want you to stay here.
But, girl, we are country women, so we definitely don't have proper etiquette. Please don't take offense. "Aunt Tian said with a smile. Half of it was a joke, and the other half was a sincere explanation.
"Aunt Tian, what are you saying? You have always treated me like a sister and a daughter. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet.
If you become estranged from me because of this, I won't let it go. "Su Shuiche smiled and pulled Aunt Tian's arm.
"Silly girl, as long as you don't mind interacting with us, we won't be estranged from you." Su Shuiche's words instantly dissipated the tension in Aunt Lao's heart.
Yes, so what if she was a young miss of the Palace? After a year of interacting with her, they still didn't understand her personality.
Thinking of this, Aunt Tian and Aunt Lao looked at each other and smiled. They casually chatted with Su Shuiche and asked about her health.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that they rushed home to cook.
Chun Lan, who was waiting outside, carried two large brocade boxes filled with gifts and accompanied them home.
