The letter was delivered to Wang Ziteng by his family. After reading it, he was so surprised that he almost raised his hand to rub his eyes.

His somewhat muddle-headed younger sister was still alive, and her mind suddenly became clear. It could be seen that the Xue family's luck was not over yet. Perhaps, it could be passed down for another three generations.

He immediately called his guest over and said something. The advisor cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It can be seen that fate has arrived. We don't need to bother Dong Weng with this matter anymore.

In the countryside, there is a student of the same age, and his knowledge can be tested by others. But there is one thing, bad luck.

On the day of the court examination, he had a stomachache and barely managed to write an essay. Although he wasn't expelled, he didn't get the Emperor's approval and became a Jinshi.

He is also a proud and arrogant person. He didn't want to be laughed at by others, so he hung up his crown and left.

Now that his mother is sick and urgently needs money, he has no choice but to come and ask for a job.

I think, this person has a bad temper, and being an advisor will only make Dong Weng unhappy. But before he could say anything, such a good thing came.

Isn't it good to be a teacher?

There are no naughty boys in the family who are not afraid of him. With a glare and a shout, no matter how naughty he is, all the students have to bow their heads and listen to him obediently. "

Wang Ziteng listened with interest, and hurriedly said to his advisor, "Where is this person now?

Please come and meet me first.

He is also my nephew. If he is successful in the future, as his uncle, can't I rely on him? "

The aide giggled and bowed before leaving the room. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he returned with a burly man.

Wang Ziteng looked up and said, "Wow!

How does this person look like a scholar?

He is clearly a good soldier! "

This person's etiquette was very familiar. After greeting the guest and the host, he introduced himself, "My surname is Wan, and I am from the same hometown as Mr. Xu.

I am ashamed to say that after I entered the school, I didn't have the patience to wait for the vacancy, so I went back to my hometown to farm for a few years. Because my mother is sick and needs money to buy some good medicine, I am here to ask for a favor. "

Wang Ziteng felt that this person was a bit interesting, so he raised his hand and coughed lightly, "I have a good place to recommend you. It's my sister's house in Jin Ling city.

There was a boy under her knees, and she wanted to ask a knowledgeable and skillful teacher to take care of him.

Master has said that he doesn't care how Mister Ren teaches his disciples. If you want to beat them, I'll accept it. If you want to scold them, I'll accept it. Twenty taels of silver per month, four sets of clothes per season, and an elderly person will accompany you.

But there was nothing to be unwilling about. Generally speaking, a girl from a middle-class family only needed two taels of silver a month. Twenty taels was enough for her to eat ginseng every day!

Mr. Wan wasn't dissatisfied. If he were to become the assistant, he would probably argue with the master in less than two days. How difficult would it be to teach a primary school student?

What was even rarer was that the head of the family had made the announcement first. Later on, if they really wanted to deal with the disciples, at least they would get their hands on the money. Even if they ran away, it wouldn't matter.

He thought for a while and nodded happily. "There's nothing bad about the sons and nephews of Master Wang's family. They just want their children to reach a higher level of enlightenment. I will do my best.

There's only one thing. I have to go back to my hometown and pick up my mother. I don't know … "

Wang Ziteng clasped his hands and laughed. "My sister sent an old servant over. I'll write a letter to you and ask him to go with you to pick up your mother. At least he can take care of her along the way."

Mr. Wan was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. This person was very eloquent when he expressed his gratitude, which made people feel very comfortable listening to him.

Wang Ziteng chatted with him for a while and then asked him to leave. He turned around and ordered the servant who was guarding the study, "Go and prepare a travel document for Mr. Wan. When you send a Buddha, send him to the West."

Let's put this matter aside for now and focus on Baochai.

Ever since she got better, Miss Xue had given the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women to the Ying 'er maidservants in her room so that they could learn how to read. She had also ordered people to collect quite a number of books such as "Essential Techniques for the Common People" and "How to Educate the People".

"Bah!

She was flustered and embarrassed.

What Head of the Household? Girls shouldn't talk about these things. "

Mrs. Xue lightly patted her daughter's arm, "How about this? Ming 'er, come with me to the Flower Pavilion and listen to the stewards first. It's always good to learn more. However, this can only be arranged by the elders. Girls who think too much will be criticized.

In the future, you can't say this in front of others. Do you understand? "

She was originally a kind mother, but because of her shallow knowledge, she always wanted to rely on the Rong and Ning families. That was why she had harmed her daughter's life in her previous life.

However, Baochai had already suffered once. How could she be willing to make the same mistake again?

At that moment, she only smiled and didn't say anything else. After that, she still didn't change. Mrs. Xue also let her be.

She was really calculating in her heart. Instead of relying on the heavens and the earth, it was better to rely on oneself.

Jia family, Wang family, four princes, eight dukes, and so on, didn't they all disappear in the end?

In the end, if she had some skills in the past, she wouldn't have to rely on Jia Yucun and wouldn't have to be exiled. Even if her brother married an unvirtuous sister-in-law, if she had the ability, she could bring her mother out and start a new family. As for the "Golden Jade Good Marriage", she didn't believe in such a harmful evil. That person already had a wooden and stone ex-alliance. Why should she think a hundred times, scheme a thousand times, and be a vile person in vain?

After making up her mind, Baochai first seriously looked at the maidservants and women in the courtyard. She directly found reasons to fire those who were usually crafty and sly. She wanted to fill the empty positions with a few who could become her arms in the future.

Originally, there were two older maidservants, four younger maidservants, eight lower maidservants, ten lower maidservants, and one wet nurse. Recently, the wet nurse had a grandson in the family. In addition, she was getting older, so she was a bit weak. Her control over the maidservants was also lax.

Baochai only called her into the inner room and said with a smile, "These years, Mama Wu, you've worked hard. I heard that your daughter-in-law added a son to the family. My son was sick the day before, so I didn't come in time to congratulate you. Today, I'll give you my share!"

Mama Wu smiled like a chrysanthemum. She took the pouch filled with silver and replied, "Miss Xie still remembers this old and useless woman. In the future, I'll let my son come and kowtow to you!"

As she spoke, the Ying 'er served tea and then left. Baochai picked up the teacup but didn't drink. He only frowned and sighed. The wet nurse was anxious, "My young lady, sigh at such a young age. I'm afraid you'll lose your fortune if you sigh. Bah bah bah!"

Baochai put down the teacup in his hand, "I'm afraid that after the New Year, my wife will find me a few wet nurses. Mama Wu, have you thought about what to do?

Logically speaking, I can ignore it, but in any case, you've been breastfeeding for a few years. I can't let you have no end. "

Mama Wu also became worried.

The young lady was right. According to age, after the New Year, Baochai would be eight years old. At this time, a respectable family would prepare a few wet nurses for the girl, someone to take care of the courtyard, someone to teach the girl, and so on. Some of them would even accompany the girl until she got married.

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

She held the handkerchief and leaned over to look at Baochai. Baochai only lowered his eyes and gently drew circles on the teacup with his hand, "How about this? You go back first and take care of your wife during her confinement. While you're at it, take care of your grandson. You won't miss a single cent of your monthly allowance.

When your grandson is old enough to run errands, I'll need someone who can be ordered around outside. At that time, I'll let him receive a salary.

What do you think? "

She spoke so decisively that Mama Wu had no choice but to lower her hands and agree. She turned her head and went to Mrs. Xue to make a decision.

"Madam, the young lady's temperament seems to have become a lot more strange after she got sick. In the past, she was always kind and polite. Why is she chasing people away today?"

She knelt outside the beaded curtain and repeated the words. After Mrs. Xue finished listening, she slowly said, "This matter can't be blamed on Bao jie 'er. I originally wanted to arrange a nanny for her after the New Year. To think that she still remembered your face and wanted you to be more dignified.

You, on the other hand, turned around and sold my daughter to me. Who knows if you'll do something terrible in the future!

Hurry up and leave with your face covered!

If you ask me, aren't you afraid that the monthly allowance will bite your hand? "

The wet nurse was scared out of her wits and hurriedly kowtowed to admit her mistake. Hearing her kowtow, Mrs. Xue shouted for someone to stop her, "Don't do this in front of me. You just have to remember the good things about your daughter in your heart!

For the sake of your old face, after the New Year, you'll have to promote your daughter-in-law to be a wet nurse in charge. "

After she finished speaking, she called for a servant to send her to her home. The money was given to her son and daughter-in-law, not a single cent less.

Mama Wu felt ashamed. She could only swear that she would never say anything about Baochai. She also ordered her son to take good care of his daughter-in-law. Maybe after the New Year, when the wet nurse position was promoted, she could put her daughter-in-law by Baochai's side.

Xue family only had one young lady, and her temperament had always been kind. Entering her courtyard was like entering a honey nest. She couldn't be estranged from this young lady.

After Baochai dealt with the old wet nurse, who was becoming more and more muddle-headed, he finally had time to carefully look at the maidservant below.

Ying 'er had been with her in her previous life. When she married Baoyu, she followed him and became his concubine. She could be described as "loyal and devoted".

After Baoyu ran away, she left her family to find another marriage. After that, she followed Jia Yucun, so she didn't know about Ying 'er.

However, she was the one who brought up the topic of "Golden and Jade Good Match". Once the topic of "Aunt Lady Wang" spread, everyone in the residence knew about it. Even the low-class prostitutes outside took it as a joke. Even if she didn't marry Baoyu, she could only hand over her hair and become a sister-in-law. In the future, wouldn't she have to compete with the younger sister of the Lin family?

Why did she have to go through all this trouble?!

She didn't want to have anything to do with the Jia family, Baoyu. This person was just a cousin of her mother's family. She didn't want to say anything more!

It was obvious that she wanted her mother to find a strict and polite mama to properly control the maidservants below. She didn't want them to dare to say anything that came out of their mouths.

After thinking back and forth, Baochai raised his voice and called for the maidservant guarding outside the curtain to come in and report, "Ying 'er has been serving by my side these past few days. Who is the other one?"

In reality, too much time had passed. She couldn't even remember the name of the other maidservant. That was why she asked.

The maidservant didn't know the depth of the matter. With her hands hanging down, she said, "Replying to Miss, Older Sister Hua Mei fell ill and left home for about a month." Baochai asked her, "Why didn't anyone report back?"

The maidservant shook her head hesitantly, "Previously, you kept saying that you wanted to leave a place for her. Then, when you fell ill, everyone forgot about this matter.

Why don't this servant send an older female servant to her house to ask before returning? "

Baochai nodded slightly. The maidservant left and grabbed an older female servant to hurry her out. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the older female servant came back and knelt outside the curtain. Trembling, she said, "Replying to Miss, it's terrible. Hua Mei's father and mother actually privately betrothed her to someone else. This young lady is unyielding. She only said that she couldn't agree to this matter because she didn't know the reason and didn't report back to her master. At that time, the family was in chaos!"

Baochai was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Only then did she remember that this matter seemed to have happened when she was young. Later on, when she went to the Jia family, she only had Ying 'er by her side. What happened to Hua Mei?

It seemed that she was forced to marry in the end. A few years later, she jumped into a well and died.

"Where's Ying 'er?

Come with me to see Madam. Bring this older female servant with you. "Baochai stood up and straightened her clothes. No one in the room dared to speak loudly.

The personal maidservant who served the young lady was the daughter of a servant. She didn't even reply to a single word. It could be seen that she was very generous to these people in the past.

Mrs. Xue had just whistled for her daughter to scare away Mama Wu when another daughter-in-law came in to report, "Eldest Miss brought an older female servant over. She said that she had something important to tell you and didn't dare to keep it from you."

"Let everyone in. Also, tell the kitchen to use the new white fungus and peach gum to make a bowl of thick sweet soup for Sister Bao and send it over." She gave the order. Baochai followed her mother's maidservant into the room.

After bowing, she sat down on the embroidered stool that her daughter-in-law had brought over and said slowly, "Mother, I just remembered today that I haven't cleaned the courtyard for a long time.

Of the two personal maidservants, only one was left. That one stayed at home every day and tired Ying 'er out. So, I sent Mama Wu, who didn't need to do anything, back home. Then, I sent someone to Sister Hua Mei's house to take a look. Only then did I find out that her parents had secretly betrothed her to someone else! "

Hua Mei was originally four or five years older than Baochai. She had been placed by the young lady's side to take care of her because she saw that she was older and did things properly.

It wasn't wrong for a thirteen-year-old girl to start looking for a man. Mrs. Xue thought that since Hua Mei was the young lady's personal maidservant, she couldn't just casually marry a young man to humiliate her. Thus, she had been looking for a suitable candidate. She thought that it would be good to find a good child from a shopkeeper's family and keep her to serve her daughter for a few years. Before she had any news, her own family had already made such a big decision.

Children of the household, children of the household, were born servants of the master's family. How could they still listen to the arrangements of their parents?

At that moment, Mrs. Xue was so angry that her eyes darkened. She slammed the table and said, "That damned old servant, your father just passed away. She actually dared to casually take away the young lady's personal maidservant to marry someone else. Is there any justice in this world?!

Go!

Call the old servant and the second housekeeper to go to Hua Mei's house and bring her over. I want to see how much courage her old mother has. She has no limits! "

After she finished speaking, she turned around and pointed her finger at Baochai's head and said hatefully, "Everyone says that you usually indulge them and are too lenient. You didn't listen. Now, you're in big trouble, aren't you?

If you're not careful, your reputation will be ruined. Let's see if you wring your hair and become a sister-in-law!

You'll only be able to eat vegetables and steamed buns every day! "

Baochai could only helplessly reply, "Okay, okay, okay. I won't indulge them in the future. It's just that I'm still young and I'm afraid that they won't be happy. Mother, please find a knowledgeable and capable mama to come back after the New Year." Mrs. Xue poked her daughter and pulled her into her arms. She explained, "I've already thought of this.

Not only you, but your brother's courtyard is also indispensable.

It's just that it's hard to find a mama like that.

Our family's name was chosen at the beginning of the year. After two years, when you're done with your mourning period, you'll have to go to the capital to try your luck. Now that you have a mama to teach you, you'll know when you see the palace. With my son's appearance, there will be a time when you'll stand out.

Moreover, when you visit your relatives in the future, they won't laugh at your birth. Before you married into the Jia family, your aunt wrote to me that she wanted to be a good relative! "

Don't. With her family's devil incarnate, who would dare to provoke them?

None of the girls involved would have a good ending. It was best to leave the Jia family early!

As for the matter of the election, Yuanchun was a clear example. Entering the palace didn't necessarily mean that she would be favored by the nobles. Even if she was favored by the nobles, she wouldn't necessarily be favored. Even if she was favored, she wouldn't necessarily be pregnant. Even if she was pregnant, she wouldn't necessarily be able to give birth. When the time came, why bother implicating the family?

She had a plan in mind, but she didn't say much. She nodded with a smile and let Mrs. Xue take care of it. After a while, she gave the order for the sexual matters. Another mama came to report that Hua Mei's family had been brought over and asked for Mrs. Xue's instructions.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked someone to bring a screen over and set it up. She sat behind it with her daughter and said, "Let the mama and the housekeeper come in. Also, call Hua Mei in first. Let her parents kneel outside for an hour before replying!"

The second housekeeper was a middle-aged man. He wore a clean silk gown and had a moustache. He came in and made a gesture at the screen, "Replying to Mrs. Xue, Hua Mei's mother privately betrothed this girl to her nephew.

I went out and asked around. It said that this boy is ignorant and incompetent and can't get a wife. His aunt then set her sights on her nephew. She also thought that our Xue family's maidservants gave a lot of dowry, so she tricked Hua Mei's family into marrying her daughter to him. "

What Mrs. Xue hated the most right now was to hear other people talk about other people's daughters. Furthermore, Huamei was her daughter's personal attendant. She was afraid that Baochai's reputation would be ruined because of her. She immediately slammed the table angrily and said, "Who does he think he is? The entire family's marriage contract is here. How can he get married in private?

It doesn't matter if he was tricked or framed. Is my master dead?

Don't you even know how to reply?

Are you sizing up the Xue family's temper?

Call the slave trader for me! "

As soon as she spoke, Hua Mei, who was kneeling outside, was scared silly. She crawled forward and begged, "It's all my fault. I was muddle-headed. I thought that since she's a girl, and I don't need her to take care of me when I'm old, I can give her up.

Moreover, she's going to be a daughter-in-law with my elder sister. How can I treat her badly?

So I did this kind of thing in a moment of muddle-headedness. I beg Mrs. Xue to forgive me this time for the sake of serving you for several lifetimes! "
