Houfu Key Class

She had seen this thing in the Shangshu Mansion. Her stepmother had to endure for a full ten years before she got the housekeeper key from her grandmother. From then on, she was domineering and comfortable in the Shangshu Mansion.

And the key in front of her was the housekeeper power of the entire Yuanyang Marquis Mansion!

Oh my God!

She was a newly married bride who hadn't even changed her wedding dress yet, but she could get the housekeeper key that everyone dreamed of?

It must be that she woke up in the wrong posture.

Xu Wan pinched herself quickly.

"Hiss... It hurts."

It wasn't a dream!

Zong Jincheng shouted in dissatisfaction: "Grandmother, how can you give it to her? This housekeeper key is for the second room's concubine Hong, and you can't give it to her!"

The old marquis only had a pair of twin sons. The war eight years ago caused his eldest son Zong Zhao to disappear, and the second son Zong Yan was directly killed on the battlefield. The second son did not get married before his death, but it was only this year that he was found to have a concubine and an illegitimate child.

Having a concubine and an illegitimate child before getting married is a scandal, but the people are dead, and the old marquis is full of the news that his second son has a child, so he quickly ordered people to take the child back to the mansion and put it on the clan record.

But the concubine, that is, the Hong Yi Niang mentioned by Zong Jincheng, was too humble to be given the title of the wife of the main wife, let alone the key of the housekeeper.

The old lady said: "Jincheng, your grandfather is old, and this family will still rely on you and your father in the future. Zhao'er is now dead or alive, and you also need a mother to take care of you. When you grow up in the future, the title of our marquis's mansion will still be passed on to you, right?"

Zong Jincheng said dissatisfiedly: "But I don't need a mother."

He has been accustomed to having no father and mother since he was born, and now he is eight years old, he doesn't need it anymore.

What's more, this is still a stepmother, not a biological mother.

Xu Wan snorted in her heart, I don't want you as a son!

Rebellious son!

The old lady stuffed the housekeeper key into Xu Wan's hand and told her, "From now on, you are the wife of the Marquis' Mansion. You will be in charge of the food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, clothing and expenses of the people in this mansion."

Xu Wan, who suddenly held great power, looked at the housekeeper key in her hand and felt it was so heavy. How could the entire Marquis' Mansion be on her back?

Isn't she going to be an idle fish and lie down?

"I have no experience as a housekeeper." Xu Wan said truthfully.

Her stepmother didn't even want to let her be a housekeeper, and she wanted to not even give her a meal.

Although she was the king of the roll in modern times, she rolled up to the position of group leader in just one year, but there were only a few people in that group. And now she is going to give her the entire Marquis' Mansion to manage, which has at least a hundred people.

The old lady said, "You can learn it after a while, it's easy to get started."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Xu Wan asked her seriously.

The old lady was amused by her: "Of course it's true."

Xu Wan thought for a few seconds and felt that she could take this job. After all, it was a marquis's mansion, a wealthy and noble family. She would definitely live a happy life as a housekeeper.

"Okay, then I'll try... No, are there any additional conditions?" Xu Wan was about to respond, but she saw that the old marquis's mouth was almost grinning to his ears, and she subconsciously felt that there was a big pit!

The old lady shook her head: "There are no additional conditions. As long as you take good care of the people in the whole mansion, we have no other requirements."

"The whole mansion..." Xu Wan twisted this sentence lightly, and turned her head to see the unconvinced boy staring at her.

Xu Wan immediately realized: "Is there still him?"

Help, such a little ancestor, who can't be beaten, who can take care of this?

The old lady smiled and said: "Jincheng is a very well-behaved and smart child. As long as you teach carefully, we believe that he will definitely be able to get a high school first class in the future."

"???"

Xu Wan was about to faint.

Not only do you have to take good care of the little devil, but you also have to help him get a first-class place in high school.

First-class place, that's a first-class place!

The top three in the imperial examination held every three years!

I'm afraid that Zong Jincheng, this bastard, can't even pass the exam to become a scholar!

Xu Wan wisely stuffed the housekeeper key back into the old lady's hand and said embarrassedly: "Old lady, please calm down, you should keep this key yourself. I am incompetent and can't manage the entire marquis's mansion, let alone bear the burden of educating a child who is in the first class."

Are you kidding? Shouldn't the burden of studying for this bastard be borne by the teacher?

What does it have to do with her idle stepmother!

Seeing that she was sensible, Zong Jincheng hurriedly said: "Yes, grandmother, I don't think she needs to take care of me. I have strong self-reliance ability, why do I need her to teach me? She looks like she has never read a book."

Xu Wan almost blurted out that I have read more books than you have eaten salt, you little illiterate who has not even attended nine years of compulsory education!

But after saying that, she couldn't push away the burden.

Xu Wan endured it.

Unexpectedly, the old lady hit back: "I have discussed with the Marquis and adjusted the monthly allowance from 100 taels to 300 taels."

Xu Wan's eyes lit up instantly.

Even if she had no idea about ancient silver, she knew how precious 300 taels were. The original owner had hidden his private money for more than ten years and didn't even have one tael of silver, let alone 300 taels!

These 300 taels, or 300 taels per month!

The temptation is too great!

The old lady then made a ruthless move: "If Jin Cheng can get the top three, the Marquis and I will give you another 50,000 taels."

Xu Wan: "!!!"

50,000 taels!!

She felt that her mind was now full of gold ingots smashing wildly!

"If you can get the top one, it will be changed to 100,000 taels."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her with a smile.

The 100,000 taels she said seemed as casual as 10 taels.

Zong Jincheng was stunned.

He said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, are you going to give her the entire Hou Mansion?"

He knew that his grandmother's family was the richest man in Yancheng. Their wealth was so rich that they could spend it in a few lifetimes, but they were not to the point where they would just throw away their money like sand...

The old lady smiled and said: "Jin Cheng, you have to know that if you succeed, the entire Hou Mansion will be honored. By then, we can rest assured to hand over the entire Hou Mansion to you, right?"

Zong Jincheng: "..."

Yes, yes, but something just feels wrong.

Xu Wan understood immediately.

The old lady is drawing pie for two people at the same time.

No wonder she didn't send Zong Jincheng away.

The purpose is that they both have the same goal, she for money and he for power.

When this brat reacts, he will probably think of how to kill her!

But how could she be a vegetarian?

Xu Wan quickly took back the housekeeper's key from the old lady's hand, and deliberately waved it in front of the little devil's eyes.

After receiving the angry look from the gangster, he said respectfully:

"Thank you, mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law takes orders."
