Shen Qingli could guess it by looking at her expression, but she also smiled lovingly and scratched her nose:
"Okay, I'll teach you again later, you have to study carefully!"
Su Wan nodded quickly, very well-behaved.
Su Yi also looked at his sister and smiled dotingly:
"Since you two keep me company, I'll go to the shop and see how the decoration is going."
The two girls were talking and playing together. He, a man, couldn't stay here all the time, so he had to find something to do for himself.
"Thank you for your hard work, fifth brother!" Su Wan was also rude and directly dismissed him as the shopkeeper.
After Su Yi left, Shen Qingli began to teach Su Wan how to make tea. She learned how to make tea in the morning and guzheng in the afternoon. The course schedule was full.
It is scheduled to go to the Grand Scholar's Mansion in three days, and I will go to Aunt Yang's place tomorrow.
Shen Qingli acted like a big sister in front of Su Wan. She always spoke softly to Su Wan and was gentle and protective, just like an eldest brother.
She wasn't even married yet, so she was acting like a sister-in-law, but Su Wan liked her very much and enjoyed it. From then on, she had another person to dote on her.
…
The next day, Su Wan prepared a bunch of gifts and went to Aunt Yang's place with Su Yi to ask her to become the steward of his Yuyantang workshop in Kyoto. She thought it would take some effort, but unexpectedly it went surprisingly smoothly.
In Su Wan's imagination, Grandma Yang would be the kind of person with an eccentric temper, someone who was hard to talk to and very serious, but she didn't expect that she was wrong.
Su Wan stood in front of a small courtyard and checked repeatedly before deciding to knock on the door.
Su Yi went to knock on the door, and someone soon opened it. The ones who opened the door were a few little carrot heads, a girl and two boys, both looking about five or six years old.
The three carrots with their heads raised, wearing little flower cotton-padded jackets, and wearing hairpins and chirps, are so cute.
The little girl raised her head and asked Su Wan in a milky voice:
"Beautiful sister, are you here to see grandma?"
Su Wan's tone softened completely when faced with such a cute creature:
"Yes, I'm here to see Grandma Yang!"
When one of the little boys heard this, he ran into the yard and shouted:
"Mommy, Mommy, someone is looking for you!"
When the other two saw this, they also ran and shouted together. It was very interesting.
At this time, a woman wearing an apron ran out of the kitchen. She seemed to be in her forties. Su Wan thought she was Grandma Yang. She sent a few carrots to play, and then came to the door:
"Are you two here to see Grandma Yang?"
"Yes, we are here to see Nanny Yang. We want to talk to her about something. This is a little thought from us!" Su Wan motioned to Su Yi to hand the gift to the woman in front of her. Then she realized that this was not Nanny Yang. .
The woman quickly wiped her hands on her apron, then took it with both hands. The visitor is a guest, please come in first.
"Come in and sit down quickly. Nanny Yang went for a walk on the street. It will probably take a while before she comes back. Can you two wait?"
"It doesn't matter, we can just wait. You can go and do your work first!"
This woman was served by Nanny Yang. It was almost noon and she was preparing food in the kitchen.
Su Wan and Su Yi were drinking tea in the main room and playing with a few little carrots. The woman next to Grandma Yang also came from the palace and was called Grandma Li. She used to serve Grandma Yang in the palace. The two of them left the palace together.
Grandma Li didn't go back to the kitchen, but stayed with her. She chatted with Su Wan and the others for a while, and Su Wan learned that the two mothers had adopted them in the charity hall. They were older and had no children, so they wanted to Wanting to be more lively, I also had an idea, so I went to bring back my three children two years ago.
When we first brought them back, the children were only three or four years old, an age when cats and dogs disliked them, and they were the most noisy.
The two of them are also in good health and can raise several children. Although their lives may not be rich, they still have enough to eat and drink.
Su Wan guessed that Nanny Yang wanted to save some wealth for these children, so she thought of finding something to do.
Otherwise, after half a lifetime in the palace, the salary saved would definitely be enough to provide for oneself in old age.
Needless to say, the two nuns are living quite a comfortable and comfortable life these days. They are also at the right age to have grandchildren. Su’s mother is about the same age as ™, and she has not yet given birth to a grandson.
It didn't take long for Grandma Yang to come back. The moment she walked in, she couldn't stop the dignified temperament that hit her face. Grandma Yang took good care of herself and looked very young. She didn't look like she was in her forties. Year old.
When the children saw her coming back, they ran towards her and surrounded her, calling Mammy.
Aunt Yang smiled kindly and bought some candied fruits to share with them. In a blink of an eye, she saw two young and unfamiliar faces standing in the main room, both of them very impressive.
"Is this a guest? Arlene, you didn't remind me earlier. You asked me to stand here for nothing. You don't understand etiquette."
Arlene should be Grandma Li's name. Grandma Li smiled, a little embarrassed.
"Mother Yang, it's okay. We came here today to discuss something important with you. It was Mrs. Shen from the Bachelor's Office who recommended me."
As soon as Nanny Yang heard the recommendation from Mrs. Shen of the University Scholar's Office, she knew that it was really important. She walked to the main seat and sat down, and asked Nanny Li to take the children and leave first.
The main room became quiet, and the sounds of children's play faded away.
Su Wan began to tell Nanny Yang that she wanted to hire her to be the manager of her Yuyan Hall.
There is Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. It has hired a group of people to work, but it still lacks a manager. By then, the two states next to Kyoto will also have to open semicolons. In other words, Grandma Yang only needs to manage the operation of the workshop and also As for the operation of Yuyantang, she usually calculated the accounts and paid wages to the workers. In short, she explained all these in detail.
It was tiring but not tiring, and he could work at home. However, in a market as big as Kyoto, Su Wan didn't feel comfortable leaving it to someone with less experience, so he came to see Grandma Yang.
After listening to this, Aunt Yang seemed to be quite interested, because Su Wan said that she allocates her time freely. She only needs to manage the people below, prevent them from having bad thoughts, and organize the account books. Moreover, Su Wan Wan gave her one hundred taels of monthly silver every month. This was nearly a year's salary when she was a female official in the palace. However, she also needed to spend money on things in the palace, so she couldn't save much in a year.
That's what Nanny Yang does. She's the best at managing people and settling accounts. When she was a female official, everyone under her was managed obediently.
"Mother Yang, you can find a day and I will personally take you to the workshop to have a look, as well as our shop. It is very close to your residence and is convenient for walking around. We absolutely sincerely want to invite you to be our As the general manager of Yuyantang, we believe in your ability and prestige, but we wouldn’t trust you if you leave it to someone else.”
Su Wan's attitude was absolutely respectful and sincere, and Grandma Yang nodded while listening.
She also asked a lot of detailed questions, and Su Wan answered them one by one. When she learned that Yuyantang had semicolons in various states, she also showed admiration for Su Wan.
I thought that she was a noble lady who wanted to start a business at the last minute, but I didn't expect that she was very capable. She didn't want to take care of it because she didn't have the skills to do it. She had shops all over the world and couldn't take care of her at all.
