Chapter 239 Stars in the Night Sky
Wang Jinyi looked up at the stars in the sky. Countless stars were shining brightly in the sky, which reminded her of the song in her heart. She raised her head and hummed slowly:
the brightest star in the night sky
can you remember
once walked with me
The figure disappeared in the wind...
Feng Mei, hiding in the shadows, could faintly hear the young lady singing softly.
I still remember when I first came to Miss, I often heard her humming a song unintentionally, but I couldn't hear what she was singing. In recent years, Miss would sit alone under the starry sky every night after work and sing a familiar melody. Sometimes I could hear a sentence or two, as if she was singing about the stars in the night sky...
The next morning, after Wang Jinyi woke up, she saw Zhu Yu and four maids busying around in the house. She sat quietly in bed for a while before getting up, dressing and washing up.
Ever since Wang Jinyi opened a workshop in the backyard, everyone around him has taken on important responsibilities.
The wet nurse went to the sewing room as a team leader, Qingyu went to the accounting office as a supervisor, and Zhu Yu not only shouldered the responsibilities of the eldest maid, but was also in charge of the finance office and managed the young lady's private finances.
As a result, there was always someone short of people in her room, and later there were four 12-year-old maids, namely Chunfen, Xiayu, Qiushi and Dongyue.
After washing up and sitting in front of the dressing table, Wang Jinyi was thinking about what to do first that day...
Chunfen reminded: "Miss, my hair is done, can you take a look?"
Wang Jinyi looked up and took a casual look at the camera, then got up and went out.
Mo Yu stood in front of the study door and saw the young lady going out. He took a few quick steps and handed the written list of people in Ku Shui Mountain to the young lady on a two-page form, then waited for her instructions.
Wang Jinyi flipped through the pages and said to Moyu:
"Move these two girls to the farm outside the mansion. Ask Wang Jindong to come back to the mansion.
In addition, this personnel form should be detailed, such as what daily necessities they can receive, who will pick them up outside the city, who will take them to the farm, where is the handover location, every step should be detailed!
What you wrote now is a bit too simple, please redo it. "
After saying that, he handed the form in his hand to Mo Yu and went to the main room without looking back.
In the room, the nanny and her younger brother were paying respects to their mother. When Wang Wenxin saw her sister come in, she was so scared that she quickly hid behind her mother.
The mother looked at her daughter helplessly. Wang Jinyi simply chose to ignore her younger brother, as if he hadn't seen anything. After greeting his mother politely, he sat on the couch and chatted happily with her:
"Mother, yesterday you said you would test Jin'er on her homework. What are you going to test her on? I also wanted to discuss with you whether I could stop learning the piano. Learning the piano requires a lot of time to practice, but Jin'er is too busy right now. Can we learn something else?"
"There are exams to be done, so mother, please spend half a day thinking about how to do it and what to test.
You are nine years old now, and you are already old. I am afraid your hands have already grown into shape, and string instruments are not easy to learn. Let's learn something else!"
Wang Jinyi saw that her mother had not given up on her and was determined to help her achieve musical accomplishments, so she had no choice but to use her abilities from her previous life and do something a little tricky.
"Mom, can we practice singing? Or we can practice dancing!"
The mother smiled:
“For girls, learning dance only makes your figure more beautiful, but it does not improve your musical attainments. You still have to learn a musical instrument.
Mother will discuss this with your grandmother in the next two days and choose one. You have to start learning it, otherwise it will be too late."
Wang Jinyi didn't know what her mother would choose, but she knew what she had learned in her previous life. After all, she had spent six years learning the flute in her previous life. Although she didn't develop in this direction, she did have a foundation.
Learning to play a wind instrument must be easier, so she lied, "Mom, do you have a portable instrument? Then Jin'er doesn't have to choose a location and can practice anytime. But I don't think I need to learn a musical instrument. I can sing!"
The mother looked at her daughter, smiled faintly, changed the subject and asked:
"Jin'er, if you really want to go to Beiyukou with the clan, it will probably take more than a month to go back and forth. You have to make arrangements for Taisheng's business and personnel in advance..."
Wang Jinyi said:
"Mom, I came here to tell you that I have a meeting this morning. Please come with me. First, you need to help me with the accounts.
Besides, someone needs to take care of the family affairs while I am in Beiyukou."
This time, the mother did not refuse, but brought Qingmei, Zhuyan, Ping'er, and Nanny Wang, the housekeeper, to the Mingdong meeting.
Mother even arranged for my younger brother to come along, accompanied by the nanny.
Wang Jinyi brought Zhu Yu and Mo Yu into the house first, then solemnly introduced his mother and named the responsible team leaders. Next, he made it clear that his mother would be in charge of the workshop, so that everyone could get to know each other as quickly as possible.
Wang Jinyi glanced at the clepsydra in the room and thought that he had to hurry up, as there were still two quarters of an hour until Chenshi, which was the breakfast time at home. He didn't want to let his father and brother waste time waiting for dinner.
After arranging his mother to sit in the main seat, he sat down next to her, with Mo Yu sitting next to him.
The mother glanced at her daughter. Zhu Yu was standing behind the young lady, while Mo Yu was sitting. Although she was somewhat puzzled, she listened to her daughter calmly as she said two words:
"Meeting."
Everyone sitting at the table sat up straight.
Wang Jinyi went straight to the point: "Today's morning meeting will only last 15 minutes, so everyone should stick to the facts and not talk nonsense!
Today's meeting has three purposes.
The First Backyard Workshop will be managed by Gongzhong in the future, but you will continue to do your current work and the staff will remain unchanged.
In the first ten days of the second month, please tell us if there are any problems that you cannot solve.
Finally, the work for the next ten days will be arranged.
Okay, let’s start with the first group in the sewing room. Team leader Wang will speak first.”
Ever since he wanted to put the wet nurse in the backyard to manage the sewing room, Wang Jinyi asked the wet nurse whether she wanted to do odd jobs by his side and keep her monthly salary the same, or go to the backyard to manage the staff for the young ladies and have her monthly salary doubled. In the end, the wet nurse chose to go to the backyard.
It was from this time on that Wang Jinyi no longer called her wet nurse, but called her by her official title - Team Leader Wang. Anyway, he didn't seem to dislike it. She worked very hard in the past few years. Wang Jinyi even specially increased her monthly salary again. She is now the team leader with the highest monthly salary.
The nurse stood up and saluted, and said with some excitement:
"Madam, I really miss you after not seeing you for so many years. I don't know if you have time. I wanted to go and greet you, but I couldn't find the time for the moment. I..."
Wang Jinyi saw that her mother had no intention of responding, so she interrupted directly:
"If you want to reminisce, please come to the backyard. Don't waste everyone's time now. Team Leader Wang, please think about it first and I'll tell you later. Next is Sewing Room Team 2."
“Madam, I’m Zhao from the second team of the sewing room. Team 2 is responsible for making a series of the young lady’s drawings and then handing them over to team 1, which is responsible for making samples.
Miss, you gave me three drawings. The first two were made into a series of four. I was a little confused about this one. I only thought of two, and I hadn’t thought of another one before the meeting.”
