Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 546 Each Carries Out Their Own Duties
Chapter 546: Chapter 546 Each Carries Out Their Own Duties
Purple Jade spoke clearly and logically, quickly analyzing all the household matters for Wufu before respectfully stepping aside.
"Ninth Master once said you have the talent for stewardship, and indeed, he didn’t deceive me. You’re truly impressive," Wufu gave her a thumbs-up.
With a smile on her lips, Purple Jade responded modestly, "You flatter me, Miss."
"Good is good, and bad is bad. I call it as I see it," Wufu said.
Purple Jade didn’t quite know how to continue, so she simply curved her lips into a light smile.
Wufu sipped her tea and said, "You all must be aware of how this household is run. The family is simple: just my mother and me. I’m not interested in household management, so I’ve long entrusted all the domestic affairs to Madam. Qiu Xiang, assisting Madam, is also very capable, and there has never been any chaos under her watch, so I trust her completely."
Upon hearing this, Purple Jade understood that Wufu did not want them to interfere with the household affairs. She promptly said, "Miss, rest assured, we are your personal maidservants and naturally prioritize your needs. We wouldn’t presume to meddle in other matters."
Wufu was very pleased with her intelligence and sense of propriety, a flash of appreciation in her eyes.
"Exactly. You belong to me, and attending to my affairs is your main duty. Just take care of my personal matters. However, one thing..." Wufu paused before continuing, "Not involving you in the domestic affairs does not mean that I’ll allow the happenings of the mansion to escape my notice. They say servants are the eyes and ears of their master. Do you understand?"
"We understand," the three of them answered in unison. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Currently, there aren’t many servants in this mansion, and it’s hard to say how many there will be in the future. You three are my personal maidservants. Purple Jade, being the oldest and most steady, you will manage my silver and household matters. Jadeite will oversee the jewelry and food. Hongyu, you are the youngest, so you will take care of the clothing. Take this chance to learn as much as you can from your sisters," Wufu quickly designated their tasks.
"Yes."
Purple Jade felt a mix of surprise and excitement upon being assigned to manage the silver and accounts, as it signified the trust the Miss had in her to delegate such an important responsibility.
Hongyu was envious but also recognized her need to learn more due to her youth. She resolved to observe and think more, knowing that even if she couldn’t surpass Purple Jade or Jadeite, she couldn’t allow newcomers to outdo her.
"I’m not one to sit still, and I expect there will be many days when I will have to go out. In fact, after the new year, I’ve agreed to accompany Ninth Master to the Capital," Wufu continued, "If we go to the Capital, we will definitely need to bring people along, so my residence cannot be short-staffed. Therefore, if you see any clever and teachable young servant girls in your daily rounds, feel free to take them under your wing for training."
Wufu was also planning ahead. Although her mansion was small, the number of household matters would increase, and she would need people to manage them. She refused to be a master subjected to deceit by her servants.
Each of them listened carefully.
Wufu spoke about a few other matters, listened to some suggestions from Purple Jade, and took note of each one. As it grew later, Madam Zhou noticed that Wufu’s lights were still on and sent someone over to check, prompting Wufu to finally rest.
With tasks assigned, each maidservant now had her own responsibilities, and Wufu’s affairs were in perfect order. This allowed her more freedom, and she liked to spend time delving into her study.
Another satisfying and joyful aspect for Wufu was that both Purple Jade and Jadeite were skilled in Kung Fu, so she no longer had to worry about finding someone to practice with.
