Chapter 259 The Mad Couple 23
Upon seeing this, Ji Xiaosong's eyes flashed with surprise, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "What, has the Vice Minister left behind some treasure and is reluctant to leave?"
Wu Chufeng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but when his gaze fell on Ji Xiaosong's figure, which was faintly visible under the loose outer robe, his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
He turned his head away and said with difficulty, "Songsong, I've been thinking about it, and there are some things I need to tell you."
Ji Xiaosong raised an eyebrow, strolled up to him, crossed her arms, and looked at him with great interest:
"Oh? What's the matter that you're so serious about, that you have to come back specifically to tell me?"
Wu Chufeng composed himself and recounted in detail how Wu Daniu and his family had moved into the Vice Minister's residence.
Finally, he sighed helplessly: "There are no servants in the mansion now, and it's a mess. I really can't handle it. Songsong, as you know, this house will be handed over to you to manage in the future, so... I would like to ask you to help me select a group of reliable servants."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaosong narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression somewhat complicated:
“Your father and brothers are not easy to deal with. If I go to choose servants and they don’t like them, I’m afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.”
Wu Chufeng quickly grasped her hand and earnestly said:
“Songsong, I trust you. I don’t trust anyone else, only you can manage all the affairs of this mansion properly. As for my father and the others, you don’t need to worry about them. If they dare to make things difficult for you, I will step in.”
Ji Xiaosong felt the warmth of his palm, and a thought flickered in her heart, but she deliberately teased him:
"Oh, so you're handing over the reins of the manor to me, Lord Vice Minister? Aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to sideline you and turn this manor into the Ji family's property?"
Wu Chufeng gently flicked the tip of her nose and smiled indulgently:
"If you like it, I would give you the entire Vice Minister's mansion. But right now, I need your help to solve this urgent problem."
Ji Xiaosong pretended to ponder for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Fine, seeing how sincere you are, I'll help you this time. However, you must choose your servants according to my rules. I won't take any of those who are cunning, lazy, or have ulterior motives."
Wu Chufeng nodded hastily: "Of course, I'll do whatever you say. I'll have someone prepare the money tomorrow. You just need to take the money to the brokerage and pick out the clever and hardworking ones."
Ji Xiaosong released his hand, walked to the dressing table, sat down, picked up a comb, and slowly combed her long hair, saying casually as she did so:
"Alright, then you can go back now. I'll take care of it tomorrow. But don't you dare break into my window at night again. If word gets out, I'll ruin my reputation."
Looking at her profile reflected in the bronze mirror, Wu Chufeng felt a surge of warmth in his heart and softly replied:
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for today, Songsong."
After saying that, he glanced at her longingly, then turned and climbed out the window again to leave.
Ji Xiaosong watched his departing figure, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips as she muttered to herself, "Idiot."
Then, she put away her smile, a shrewd glint in her eyes, and began to plan the various matters for selecting servants at the brokerage firm the next day. After all, this Vice Minister's residence would be her home in the future, and she could not afford to make any mistakes.
Ji Xiaosong quietly closed the window, and after confirming that no one was around, she vanished from the room in an instant.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in her own space.
Fortunately, she bought a lot of robots in the last world. In the interstellar era, these robots are top-notch domestic service and security assistants.
It's quite easy to filter out a few dozen now.
Ji Xiaosong's gaze swept quickly over the rows of robots waiting to be selected, and she began to make careful calculations in her mind.
First, Wu Chufeng made arrangements to allocate twenty servants.
It's okay if there are too many people and not enough room, since it's all on a shift system anyway. We can just buy a place nearby to rest.
As a former general, Wu Daniu still retains his former prestige and pomp, even though he has lost power. He has at least a dozen servants serving him.
Two strong and agile people should be assigned to take care of daily life, serving tea and water, tidying clothes, and always ready to be at your disposal.
Add a few skilled chefs to take charge of the family's meals.
I am also someone who has demands for food, so I have to make sure that my three meals a day are varied.
In addition, we need a few clever and capable people to handle miscellaneous tasks, run errands, deliver letters, and so on.
As the nominal wife, Wang Cuihua naturally couldn't be shabby.
Since they're all going to be monitoring and watching her anyway, it doesn't really matter how they arrange things, as long as she doesn't lose her status in the future.
She had at least eight or nine maids and servants serving her.
Two or three pretty and quick-witted maids were in charge of daily grooming and dressing.
There were also a few skilled in needlework who helped mend clothes and make exquisite accessories on a daily basis.
Several old women also need to be assigned to specifically manage the affairs of the inner courtyard and maintain order within the residence.
As for the two young masters, Wu Wenxuan and Wu Wenhao, they were pampered in the general's mansion since childhood, and they needed a lot of servants around them.
It is best to have five or six servants around each person. If they get into a fight in the future, they must be kept in check to prevent them from physically assaulting or making irresponsible remarks.
Three or four clever servants were responsible for keeping them company while they read and played, and running errands to buy them things they liked.
They were also given two maids to attend to their daily needs, taking care of their clothes and bedding to ensure their comfort.
With that in mind, Ji Xiaosong quickly operated on the control panel, selecting a group of robots with different shapes and functions, and classifying them under the names of Wu Daniu, Wang Cuihua, Wu Wenxuan, and Wu Wenhao.
Next is the configuration of the guard team.
Although the Vice Minister's residence could not compare to the imposing presence of the General's residence, it still required a certain level of security.
Ji Xiaosong pondered that the guard team must have at least twenty people.
These robotic guards are all equipped with state-of-the-art defense and attack systems, but their appearance has been altered to be indistinguishable from that of ordinary guards. They are dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, holding long spears and broadswords, and exude an extraordinary aura.
They will be divided into two shifts, taking turns patrolling day and night to protect the safety of the Vice Minister's residence. No disturbance will escape their "eyes".
After making the selections, Ji Xiaosong carefully checked the programs of each robot to ensure that they were perfectly suited for their work at the Vice Minister's residence.
Looking at the selected robots, Ji Xiaosong's lips curled up slightly.
The interstellar robots are still very useful; a single energy crystal can last for a hundred years.
Energy crystals can no longer be used, but spiritual power or light can also be used as energy.
Isn't this better than those that eat rice and grass?
The next morning, Ji Xiaosong, disguised as a servant, brought the selected robots to Wu Chufeng's residence.
There wasn't a single servant in the Vice Minister's residence. Ji Xiaosong, accompanied by the selected butler robot, opened the main gate and walked straight in.
Just as he sat down in the lobby chair, Wu Wenxuan suddenly swaggered over.
