Ling Qingwan took Qiao'er and hurried to the backyard. Nanny Pu stayed at the back and took out a brocade bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Guan Peng's hand.
"There were so many servants just now, and I was afraid they might see and gossip behind my back, so I'll give it to you now. My young lady will be staying here for a while, so I'll trouble you to take care of her these days."
Nanny Pu had served people for many years, and she was always very good at what she said and did. Just these words made Guan Peng feel very comfortable.
"Taking care of Miss Ling is what we servants should do. How can we ask for Miss Ling's money? We can't accept it." Guan Peng said as he was about to return the brocade bag to Nanny Pu.
Nanny Park refused to take it and even took half a step back.
"My young lady is so kind, please accept it."
After saying that, Nanny Park quickened her pace and went to catch up with Ling Qingwan.
Guan Peng stood there, weighing the brocade bag in his hand. Apparently, the silver Ling Qingwan gave was enough, and Guan Peng's face was filled with smiles.
When Nanny Park arrived at Ling Qingwan's room, Qiao'er was already cleaning up.
Ling Qingwan had nothing to do, so she sat at the table drinking tea and resting.
"Madame Park, your room is next to mine. I'll take you to see it after I've cleaned it up." Qiao'er told Madame Park.
"Okay." Nanny Park agreed.
Then she turned to Ling Qingwan.
"Miss, just as you expected, the butler accepted it." Nanny Park reported the situation truthfully.
"That's good." Ling Qingwan's lips curled slightly.
In this way, things will be much easier afterwards.
"What did you receive?" Qiao'er interrupted.
Just now when she helped Ling Qingwan to the room, she found that Nanny Park was missing. Qiao'er thought that Nanny Park had gone to the bathroom.
As a result, when Qiao'er heard the conversation between Ling Qingwan and Nanny Park, she suddenly became curious.
Nanny Pu looked at Ling Qingwan, and Ling Qingwan nodded, indicating that she could tell.
According to Qiao'er's personality, she must have been thinking that Madam Pu had gone to do an important task. As Ling Qingwan's personal maid, she had no chance to help Ling Qingwan.
If I don't tell her, Qiao'er will have to keep it in her heart for a long time.
Besides, whether it was Qiao'er, Nanny Pu, or Mingyue, these people had followed Ling Qingwan in their previous lives. In the end, they all paid their lives for Ling Qingwan, and Ling Qingwan trusted them.
So, Nanny Pu told Qiao'er about the money she had just given to Guan Peng.
"Why should we give him money? He will stay in this villa, and the Prince's Mansion will pay him wages, so why do we need to pay him more?" Qiao'er was puzzled. She was more worried that Ling Qingwan was too naive and she was afraid that she would suffer.
"Do you think the young lady came to the villa just to recuperate?" Nanny Park chuckled, with a hint of helplessness in her words.
Qiao'er wanted to ask more, but she felt that she was too stupid and didn't want to ask any more questions.
"A powerful official cannot defeat a humble snake. This steward has been in Tingxue Mountain Villa for so many years. He is in charge of all matters, big and small, in the villa. He knows everything. If I really offend him, he will dislike me and use some tricks to make me uncomfortable. It's a small amount of money anyway. It's worth it if I can get a stable one."
Ling Qingwan explained to Qiao'er.
After hearing this, Qiao'er suddenly understood and praised Ling Qingwan for a long time.
In fact, Ling Qingwan only told half of the story. I guess only Nanny Park could guess the other half of the reason.
Qiao'er continued to clean up and Nanny Pu also went to help. Ling Qingwan went to the yard to rest. The breeze blew from time to time, which was very comfortable.
"Ms. Ling Er."
Suddenly, a woman dressed in lotus root powder clothes came in, followed by several maids with similar clothes and age, holding various cakes and tea in their hands.
"These are the special foods of Jinyun Mountain prepared for you. I brought them especially for you to try." The woman lowered her head slightly, looking docile.
Ling Qingwan glanced at them. These pastries were indeed exquisite. There was only a small piece on each plate, equivalent to half the size of a woman's fist. If she ate faster, she could eat a piece in one bite.
However, it can also be seen that Tingxue Villa has put a lot of effort into welcoming guests.
Or rather, to welcome her.
Ling Qingwan knew without asking what An Yi would say if she sent someone to remind Guan Peng.
Who dares to neglect the friend of the boss's daughter? Even if you are reluctant, you have to keep it to yourself.
"What's your name?" Ling Qingwan asked the woman in front of her in a gentle voice.
Although this woman looked no different from other maids, a closer look revealed that the fabric used for her clothes was finer.
This is enough to prove that the status of the woman in front of him is different from that of other maids.
"My name is Yingying." The woman responded obediently.
"Nice name." Ling Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, praising Yingying without hesitation.
Yingying was stunned at first.
Most of the people who came to Tingxue Villa were wealthy young men and women from well-off families. They were either spoiled since childhood or made a fortune late in life and suddenly felt that they were rich. They all yelled at their servants and acted arrogantly.
Yingying had met Ling Qingwan before. She was obviously from a wealthy family, but she didn't put on airs at all.
"During the time I've been at the villa, have you been taking care of my daily life?" Ling Qingwan asked Yingying.
"In theory, you will be assigned a maid to take care of you regularly. If you are willing, I can do the same." Yingying replied.
"Then it's you. I think you're likable, I like you very much." Ling Qingwan's eyebrows curved when she smiled, like a crescent moon in the sky.
Yingying had never been praised like this before. She was immediately overwhelmed and her cheeks unconsciously flushed.
"Madame Park." Ling Qingwan raised her voice.
Then, Nanny Park came out of the room. When she saw the look in Ling Qingwan's eyes when she looked at her, she understood.
As she walked closer, she took out another brocade bag from her sleeve and gave it to Yingying.
Unlike Guan Peng who pretended to be reserved, Yingying's eyes lit up when she saw the brocade bag and she took it without dodging.
She touched it with her hand, weighed it, and felt secretly delighted.
"Thank you Miss Yingying for your help during this period of time." Nanny Park said to Yingying.
"No trouble at all. These are what I should do." After getting the money, Yingying was in a good mood and spoke much more cheerfully than before.
When Ling Qingwan told her to leave, Yingying jumped up and left.
"This little girl is quite brave." Nanny Park watched Yingying's departing back until she disappeared. She withdrew her gaze and helped Ling Qingwan sit on the rocking chair in the yard.
"She's not bold, she's straightforward, she doesn't beat around the bush when she speaks or does things." Ling Qingwan said softly. "Did you see how she reacted after seeing the money? It was as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that she was greedy for my money."
"That's why I think she's so bold." Madam Pu explained what she had just said. "Miss, do you see that Yingying is different from other maids?"
"She should be the housekeeper's daughter."
