Capítulo 2216: Chapter 2213: Can’t Speak Well
“Really? Madam, you mustn’t deceive us, otherwise, when I get ho, the old man won’t be able to figure it out and might accuse of being the liar.”
“Madam, do you enjoy reading books on a regular basis? No wonder you were able to research pinyin, such an unusual concept.”
Ye Muyu chuckled softly, “Madam Mo, I truly believe that there’s strength in numbers.”
“Madam Liu, you must’ve skipped sothing while reading the newspaper. Pinyin wasn’t discovered by ; I rely compiled the insights of our predecessors and helped organize it.” Ye Muyu knew that this was just how Madam Liu spoke.
The household being rather chaotic carried a hint of a disgruntled woman, often offending others with her words.
However, it’s far better than scheming silently. As for her words, saying it back is no big deal, anyway, the other party, even if angry, wouldn’t think of plotting anything.
Madam Liu pursed her lips, “The Emperor rewarded it, what’s the difference from being the author.”
Madam Huo took a sip of tea. Among the ladies present, their ages were all advanced, yet Madam Huo held the most esteem except Ye Muyu.
“Ahem, Madam Liu, are you suggesting that the Emperor made a mistake?”
Madam Liu’s previously sour expression quickly turned anxious, angrily saying, “Madam Huo, aren’t you falsely accusing ? When have I ever judged the Emperor’s actions?”
“I… I won’t say anything else anymore, alright?”
Ye Muyu’s lips twitched slightly, seeing Madam Liu still sowhat aggrieved, clearly furious but unwilling to rebel, feeling a bit suffocated.
She montarily felt a sense of… exhilaration.
She lifted her teacup to hide the curved corner of her mouth, indeed, seeing soone outwitted, made one’s mood feel lighter.
Other ladies hurried to warm up the atmosphere again.
Since pinyin was ntioned.
Ye Muyu directly took out the prepared gifts.
Each received one, all related to books on pinyin.
Also invited the female teacher.
To give a simple class to the ladies.
Regardless of their literacy, encountering sothing novel, they were all quite interested.
With the earlier lesson from Madam Liu.
The other ladies remained quite respectful.
No more unexpected trouble occurred.
Ye Muyu invited several of the ladies to have lunch before sending them off.
After Ye Muyu finished entertaining guests.
She then cared about Chu Ziluo’s progress.
Chu Ziluo also had the habit of taking a midday break.
So she conveniently ca by to see her first.
Upon hearing, she smiled, “Mother, almost done, I’ve instructed each servant on their duties, and how many servants serve in each area, I’ve also decided the nu in the kitchen. Would you like to take a look?”
“Besides, I’ve realized that the residence’s servants are still too few.” Chu Ziluo rembered deeply not being exploited or causing trouble within her own residence.
She didn’t want to take the bla.
With this arrangent, there were just too few people.
Since all are entertaining female family mbers, servant boys aren’t appropriate, only maidservants can be used.
“Don’t waste the servant boys too much, let them be responsible for serving plates, always in pairs.”
“The servant boys can also entertain guests outside the courtyard gate, within the inner courtyard, all use maidservants, is that enough people?”
Ye Muyu took the nu she drafted to look over, asking while still reading.
Chu Ziluo calculated the manpower.
Vacant maidservants in the kitchen, and those welcoming guests outside, leaving thirty-so maidservants for the entire backyard.
For entertaining twenty or thirty ladies, barely enough manpower.
“If not enough, find Housekeeper for help,” Ye Muyu thought aloud.
