Cheng Yang was delighted, and the two sisters exchanged a glance.

Come to think of it, this manor originally belonged to the Ning Prefecture.

Therefore, this money should have originally belonged to the Ning Prefecture as well.

So, even if there were losses, it was not a loss for their Wushuang Marquis Mansion.

Now, it could be considered as having earned an extra sum of money from the Ning Prefecture!

This was very satisfying!

Then, the two sisters...

Had a team of retainers and soldiers escort him.

They returned to the manor at full speed.

And brought the other several officers under control.

Furthermore.

She also transferred two people who had recently defected to the Wushuang Marquis Mansion to take over their main duties.

Subsequently, Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Yang sought out a few long-term laborers from the original manor who had good administrative abilities and were reliable, but had simply lacked opportunities, and promoted them.

This move was very clever.

It allowed the two sides to supervise each other, avoiding further embezzlement.

It avoided the situation where the Wushuang Marquis Mansion was far away in Jingcheng and unable to watch them directly.

Where imperial power did not reach the countryside, allowing them to act recklessly below.

At least under various measures and with Jia Hui's prestige present.

Within the next few years, no one would dare.

Especially given the fate of Wu Jinxiao and the others.

Not many people would be so stubborn.

After Qin Keqing and the other women saw the performance of the two sisters, they recognized their abilities and praised them one after another: "Well done!"

【465】 Distributing work to the beauties; the Zhongshan Wolf has arrived!

Being praised by the sisters.

Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Yang, having received recognition, were very happy and delighted.

After all, who wouldn't want to receive recognition and praise from others?

This also allowed them to heave a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, when Qin Keqing handed over the responsibility of the manor to the sisters.

Both sisters were greatly astonished.

This was a job worth tens of thousands of taels a year.

In their view, it was very important.

And it was actually handed over to them, two newly entered concubines?

This would be impossible to happen in other families.

In the Rongguo Prefecture, only the legal wife had the qualifications.

Look at Zhao Paner and the other concubines; is it possible for them to manage the household?

Although Lady Xing was a successor wife, she was at least a legal wife.

Therefore, they were all very moved.

Then they found out.

This was all Jia Hui's idea.

All the women could display their strengths.

Qin Keqing was the mistress of the back courtyard.

Presiding over the overall situation.

And the other concubines were also able to share in the power.

Now, the Third Concubine Yan Shi, the Seventh Concubine Big You Shi, the Eleventh Concubine Lady Ding, the Twelfth Concubine Empress Bian, and the Fourteenth Concubine Wang Xifeng—these five women were mainly responsible for assisting Qin Keqing in managing the overall situation.

It was equivalent to Qin Keqing being the chairperson.

They were administrative secretaries or administrative assistants.

The Third Concubine Yan Shi mainly managed the female relatives.

The Seventh Concubine Big You Shi mainly managed the silver treasury.

The Eleventh Concubine Lady Ding mainly managed other storehouses, and the Twelfth Concubine Empress Bian was also responsible for some household affairs.

The Fourteenth Concubine Wang Xifeng was slick and versatile; she helped wherever Qin Keqing needed her, equivalent to her previous position as Ping'er.

The Fourth Concubine Diao Chan managed the dancing girls.

The Fifth Concubine Sun Sanniang and the Fifteenth Concubine Sister-in-law Liu managed the kitchen together.

It was just that Sanniang was responsible for the inner kitchen, and Sister-in-law Liu managed the outer kitchen.

The Sixth Concubine Song Yinzhang managed the opera troupe.

The Eighth Concubine Xichun, the Ninth Concubine Cai Wenji, and the Tenth Concubine Cai Zhenji—these three women managed the women's school and teaching work together.

The Thirteenth Concubine Zhao Paner was responsible for outside businesses like Wushuang Boutique and the teahouse.

The rest, Gao Hui, Sheng Hualan, Sheng Rulan, the Eleventh Lady, and the Second Lady, were also assigned work one after another.

For example, Gao Hui was responsible for the work of Jia Hui's Wushuang Express business.

Regardless of whether the matter was big or small.

In short.

Basically, each woman had a job and power, and would not be idle all day.

Currently, the few who did not manage the household or affairs.

Were only Mother You, who only knew how to eat, drink, and play.

And the Sixteenth Concubine You Erjie, who was raised as a vase.

As well as the young Twenty-first Concubine Sheng Molan and Twenty-second Concubine Sheng Minglan, these two sisters.

They chose to go to the Wushuang Women's School for further studies, but in a year or two, they would definitely be responsible for managing the household.

Then there was the Seventeenth Concubine You Sanjie.

She was also in the mansion now.

Because she was active, she couldn't stay idle at home.

Therefore, she chose to follow Zhao Paner, acting as her assistant, often following her to inspect shops, and when encountering those who handled things poorly, she would help Zhao Paner scold them on the side, playing the role of the bad cop.

As for the few lazy ones like Mother You and You Erjie.

No one blamed or criticized them.

Because Jia Hui was very open-minded.

Raising vases, it wasn't as if he couldn't afford it.

It was just finding some work to keep them spirited.

It wasn't that he really needed them.

Whatever.

People have different aspirations; there was nothing wrong with enjoying life and not doing work.

Their beauty was actually one of their jobs.

Letting Jia Hui enjoy it.

They had already fulfilled their duties and performed outstandingly.

Keqing asked Jia Yuan Chun, who had just entered the mansion: "So, Sister Jia Yuan Chun, do you want to work in the mansion, or be more leisurely?"

Jia Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "Mistress, I want to work in the mansion."

She was very fond of the Wushuang Marquis Mansion.

This kind of big family, where every woman worked together with one heart.

Creating brilliance for their husband and family, was an atmosphere she liked very much.

Moreover, she had been a capable person since she was young.
