Xie Xian was thoughtful.

The personnel in the Xie residence was not complicated. There were a total of three households, and the population was not considered prosperous.

However, there were many servants in the family. This was a facade that was essential for aristocratic families. It would take some time to figure it out.

The ones brought out by Lady Yuan’s subordinates were the ones who had followed Lady Yuan to take charge of the food. They had eaten and seen them before, so they still had a lingering prestige when they were brought out alone.

If he were to reward them, because he had stayed by his mother-in-law’s side, they would naturally be separated by a layer. It was not good to be far away or close. This arrangement was just right. After he finished using them, he would send them back. He was just borrowing them.

Xiao Baoxin understood Xie Xian’s intentions and treated the two nannies very warmly. Before he said anything, he had a smile on his face. Before he could finish speaking, he had already given Tang Li a purse.

“I’m new to the Xie family and don’t know much about things, so I’ll need the two nannies to guide me in the future. The two of you are capable people by Mother’s side and should have been by Mother’s side, but because of me, a junior, you disturbed Mother. This is my sin.”

Xiao Baoxin was completely honest.” Granny, if you have something to say, just say it. I’m not a person who hides things. Let’s be honest and save a lot of time.” At that time, the nanny would be able to return to accompany Ah Niang as soon as possible. Granny is already an old woman by All Niang’s side, without you all by her side, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.”

The two nannies thanked him again.

“If Furen has instructions, how would this servant dare to disobey? I will definitely do my best to assist Furen.”

However, although the two of them said so, they couldn’t help but be surprised. They were Lady Yuan’s servants in her maiden family. Whether it was the Yuan or Xie family, they were both aristocratic families. They followed the rules when they walked, sat, and slept.

They had never seen such a straightforward person. He was so straightforward that it was a little scary. It made them uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Baoxin didn’t care about that. There was no reason for her to hold it in in front of the elders. Wouldn’t she go crazy from holding it in?

The two nannies stayed by Xiao Baoxin’s side.

After she finished speaking, Granny Zhao handed the books over to Xiao Baoxin. The first book was the congratulatory list given by the Xie clansmen, and the second book was the congratulatory gifts of the officials.

Although only Pan Shuo was invited to the wedding, some of the lesser families who were not invited also sent congratulatory gifts.

In the two years that Xie Xian had been an official, he had not adhered to the rules and drew a clear line between himself and the common people. Instead, he had made many recommendations. It seemed that befriending Xie Xian had become the sharpest weapon against the great clans. Those who had not benefited from Xie Xian had joined in the fun and sent congratulatory gifts.

On the other hand, those gifts from the aristocratic families were small and small. They were only given because Old Lady Xie was still around. Some were also given to Third Master Xie. However, from the weight of the congratulatory gifts, it could be seen that most of them were not sincere. Those who were sincere were deliberately picking out those who could not do it. The weight was completely different from before.

The members of the Xie family, including Second Master Xie and Third Master Xie, were all recorded in the records, but there was nothing good to say.

Granny Zhao pointed it out bluntly, causing Granny Fang to turn her head and glance at her.

Everyone knew that the congratulatory gifts given by the clan were not as good as before. They were not optimistic about the marriage between the Xie family and the Xiao family. Speaking of which, Madam Yuan was quite surprised that some people were able to send congratulatory gifts. It seemed that everyone had seen the results of the Emperor’s treatment. They no longer thought highly of themselves and excluded dissidents. They still left a line so that they could meet in the future.

However, it was another matter to say it out loud in front of Lord Lang’s wife.

Calling a baldy a baldy in front of a baldy was akin to slapping his face.

They said that everyone was open and honest, but was this slap too harsh and swollen?

It was fine to listen to the words of someone who had always been in power, but could they really listen to them?

Who knew that Xiao Baoxin really didn’t put on a face. He didn’t know if she understood or not. He only asked,”Should this be returned to the public school or the Rong An Hall treasury?”

Granny Zhao smiled.” It’s called a public school, but it’s actually the money and utensils that Master Lang transfers to the public school every year to support the family’s expenses. Everything depends on Madam’s wishes.” In the past, when Old Furen married into the Xie family, she was considered to be in the public school. However, after the family added more people, they returned to their respective rooms. It still depended on the arrangements of the Lang Master and Madam.”

Xiao Baoxin nodded.” Then let’s put it in Rong An Hall first. It won’t be too late to decide after 1 discuss it with the constant attendant.””

Granny Fang nodded. She felt that Xiao Baoxin had handled the matter appropriately and was not petty at all. He had a good discussion with Lord Lang, at least he was able to advance and retreat appropriately.

It must be known that the two of them were in charge of different things at Lady Yuan’s side. Granny Zhao had always been managing money and helped Lady Yuan manage the storeroom. On the other hand, Granny Fang was in charge of personnel and rules. He was in charge of the personnel arrangements of the Xie Manor and the Yi Manor, and he was in charge of the maids and old women inside and outside the Free Yard. He was very good at playing with people.

They were Lady Yuan’s right-hand men, and Lord Lang naturally knew about it. However, he pointed out the Dao surname and wanted them in front of Lady Yuan. The intention of protecting Lord Lang’s wife was quite obvious.

As expected, Bao Niang and Madam Yuan would always agree to her husband’s request.

Fortunately, they had taught a lot of people over the years, so there wouldn’t be any problems for a while. Furthermore, Lady Yuan of the Freedom Courtyard had no worldly desires and had long lost the desire to compete in this manor. The Freedom Courtyard was a courtyard of the Xie Manor, but under the influence of their wife, half of the people in the courtyard burned incense and chanted Buddha. Their hearts were kind and their faces were soft like dough, very fresh and devoid of desires.

It wasn’t like this Rong An Hall. He had only entered for less than two hours, but the book was already full of sword light and sword shadows.

This was all about the knowledge of human relationships. If he didn’t do it well, he would be covered in a fishy smell.

Because of the uncertainty of returning the favor, it was not impossible for the two families to fall out.

Ming Yue brought him over and left after giving his instructions.

After Xiao Baoxin finished reading the account book that Granny Zhao had sent over, he also recorded the congratulatory gifts that the Xie family elders had given him today and put them into his own treasury. Then, Tangli held the dowry booklet and tidied it up again. When she was done, it was already 11:00 pm. She had only eaten a bowl of porridge in the middle.

She raised her head and looked outside. Just as she was about to ask Xie Xian what had taken him so long to settle, she saw him slowly walk in from outside. There was a smile on his lips as he looked at her with his eyes.

Xiao Baoxin immediately held his breath.

This handsome face was poisonous. Langjun, who used to look very handsome once in a while, was now married. The more they looked at each other, the more handsome they felt.

“Did you eat lunch? Are you hungry?” Xiao Baoxin asked.

Xie Xian replied,”After eating the snacks…” You’ve been looking at the accounts and haven’t eaten?”I swept my eyes over the people below and found…Oh, they were all dowry maids that Xiao Baoxin brought over. It would be a slap in her face to pursue them.

He rubbed his nose and suppressed the displeasure in his heart.

“I’m not hungry either…Go to Grandmother’s place for dinner later?”Xiao Baoxin asked and put the account book aside.

Xie Xian saw that she was no longer looking, so he sat down beside her and sent the servants away.

“There aren’t that many rules in the residence, so you don’t have to be too tense.”He glanced at the booklet beside the bed. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me or mother. If you encounter something that is difficult to decide or something that is humiliating, you can just push it on

me..”
