"Rujun, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Su Ziyu frowned. The more widely this rumor spread, the more unstable his scientific research career would become.

Shen Rujun sighed heavily and held Su Ziyu's hand.

"I didn't want to say this, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"How can this be a problem? This is a critical moment for you, you must not let down your guard."

Su Ziyu gritted her teeth. If Shen Rujun failed the exam, all her compromises would be in vain!

"I was inexplicably targeted in this matter, and I want my father-in-law to help me."

Shen Rujun looked at Su Ziyu with eyes that showed three parts of guilt and seven parts of self-blame.

"This matter is really of utmost importance, and the teacher is also very worthy of me. Even if I fail the exam, he will still send me a letter of recommendation to recommend me to try for the position of editor in the Imperial Academy."

This sentence made Su Ziyu's heart tremble. Even if he didn't have a high school degree, it would be good to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy. In any case, it would be a good career path.

"Rujun, leave this matter to me. I'll go and ask father for help. You should focus on reviewing your studies and don't let these trivial matters distract you."

Shen Rujun held Su Ziyou's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ziyou, I owe you too much in this life, and I will never let you down for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he pulled Su Ziyu into his arms.

Su Ziyu sneered and hugged Shen Rujun back, soothing her with a gentle voice, but his expression was devoid of genuine emotion.

……

Su Jinhua sneezed and rubbed his nose subconsciously.

“I always feel like someone is whispering about me.”

"I will add some charcoal for you."

Banxia bent down and added more charcoal, and the room suddenly became warm as spring.

Su Jinhua picked up the pen, wrote the last word and put it down.

"What time is it?"

"My lady, it's midnight."

"It's so late already."

Su Jinhua rubbed his eyebrows. It was time to take a break. Sometimes a combination of work and rest was best.

When going to bed at night, Su Jinhua thought about his uncle.

I decided to go and have a look when I have free time in the next two days.

Early in the morning, Su Jinhua stood at the gate of the marquis's mansion, watching the servants busy at work.

Since she took charge of the Marquis' Mansion, all affairs in the Mansion have been run in an orderly manner and no mistakes have ever occurred.

As the year draws to a close, she becomes even busier. This is also her first year after marriage and she is in charge of the New Year affairs of the Marquisate.

She originally wanted to shirk her responsibility and help the eldest princess, but she didn't expect that the eldest princess trusted her so much and let her handle it fully.

Therefore, now that she is in charge of many matters, she sometimes feels a little overwhelmed.

Su Jinhua not only had to arrange various affairs in the mansion, but also had to consider how to give New Year gifts to the servants so that they could have a good year.

I also have to deal with those two or three concubines.

"Miss, these are the new servants who entered the mansion this year. Do you think they need to be tested again?" Yu Cui said respectfully, holding a list.

Su Jinhua took the list, glanced at it, nodded and said, "It's the end of the year now, these new servants do need to be tested again, but there's no need to be too strict. As long as they are hardworking, they can stay."

Yucui responded and stepped aside.

Su Jinhua turned and walked into the study and began to carefully arrange various matters for the year-end.

From purchasing New Year's goods to distributing New Year gifts and rewards to the servants, she needs to personally take care of every item.

"Banxia, ​​how do you think we should give New Year gifts to our servants?" Su Jinhua asked after thinking for a moment.

Banxia thought for a moment and said, "My lady, I think it would be more appropriate to give them gifts based on their performance and the length of time they have been in the mansion.

"If they work diligently and loyally without making any mistakes, they should be paid more. This will not only motivate them to work diligently, but also make them feel the fairness of the government and your generosity and kindness."

When Su Jinhua heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

She patted Banxia's hand and said, "Not bad. After another two years of experience, you and Yucui will be almost capable."

Banxia said quickly: "I still need your help. I have little experience and I dare not compare myself with Sister Yucui."

"Don't belittle yourself."

Su Jinhua patted Banxia's hand, took out two red envelopes from the box, and waved for Zhuying to come over.

"You have been following me closely, and Banxia has been with me for many years, so I am assured that I will not treat you unfairly if you follow me."

Su Jinhua put one of the red envelopes into Banxia's hand.

In her previous life, Banxia had always been loyal.

"Miss, I..." As she spoke, Banxia suddenly choked up. She had been with the young lady since she was a child, and the young lady had always treated her like a family member.

The young lady gave her shelter, so how could she dare to ask for a reward from her?

Finally, it was under Su Jinhua's insistence that Banxia accepted the red envelope.

"Zhu Ying, you are agile and decisive. I will inevitably ask you to do some hard work in the future. Although you have been here for a short time, I still say that I will not treat you unfairly if you stay with me."

Zhuying took the red envelope and accepted it as a reward from her master. She didn’t have as many thoughts as Banxia.

It’s not like she didn’t contribute.

Zhu Ying accepted the red envelope without any psychological burden, and said with a bow: "Thank you, my Lord... Princess, I am willing to go through fire and water for you all my life."

She said this seriously with a stern face, which was really funny.

Su Jinhua nodded and glanced at Zhuying. After these few days in the Marquis' Mansion, he looked less thin.

Su Jinhua took out a list and said, "This is the New Year's gift for the two of you. All the servants in the mansion have it. Just go find the steward and get it later."

"Yes." They both said in unison.

After arranging the New Year gifts for the two people, Su Jinhua continued to prepare New Year gifts for other servants in the mansion.

……

In the eldest princess' bedroom, Yucui whispered softly, "Princess, the Crown Prince's wife has already met with the three concubines in the mansion this morning. Everything is in order and the conversation is appropriate. Whatever the three concubines wanted to do, they were suppressed by the Crown Prince's wife."

The princess nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Jinhua is indeed smart and has the demeanor of a head of the family. I thought she had been here for less than a year and needed time to adapt to presiding over such matters. I didn't expect that she could handle the affairs of the mansion at the end of the year so quickly and without causing any trouble."

Yu Cui continued, "Yes, the Crown Prince's Consort not only treats people properly, but also handles the affairs of the mansion meticulously. She considers everything carefully and cannot find any faults. This servant admires her from the bottom of her heart."

The eldest princess nodded in approval: "Perhaps with Jinhua here, there won't be any trouble in the mansion anymore."

After a pause, the princess said, "You go down and continue to pay attention to Jinhua's situation. Report any news to me in time."

"Yes, Princess." Yucui retreated respectfully.

The eldest princess looked at the scenery outside the window, then turned her gaze back to look at herself in the mirror.

A strand of white hair appeared in his sight, and a hint of melancholy flashed across his eyes.

Now that she is old, she just wants to have children and grandchildren around her, but that brat just won't listen.
