After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 405 Understanding
Lin Yi seemed to have noticed nothing and just solemnly repeated the words of the twelfth prince.

"His Highness also said that these silvers will be allocated to the young lady first, and will be used for the expenses of the mansion. His Highness also instructed that since it is used for the expenses of the mansion, the young lady needs to keep an account when she spends it. His Highness may want to check it at any time."

It sounded as if the Twelfth Prince didn't trust Jinse and was afraid that she would embezzle the money.

But when Jinse heard this, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief and her heart suddenly calmed down.

"I understand. Please tell His Highness that I will make sure to arrange the expenses and keep a good account book for His Highness to review."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded in agreement.

He thought in his heart that his Highness was very smart. He knew that Miss Jinse would probably refuse such a large sum of money, so he specifically instructed him to talk to Miss Jinse about keeping accounts.

After this was said, people were speechless when they received the things.

Before leaving, Lin Yi took a big bag of snacks from Jinse.

Jinse asked someone to buy them on the street, and most of them were given to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was not polite and said with a smile: "It's so old, let Your Highness taste it when we bring it back to the palace."

What do you mean by letting His Highness just have a taste?
Jinse couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but she didn't know how to say anything to Lin Yi. She could only send him away with a smile.

Early in the morning of the next day, Manager Wu from Penglai Pavilion brought a group of people into the Twelfth Prince's Palace.

A row of men, women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin people lined up in a row, forming six or seven teams.

Manager Wu smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Jinse for a while, then pointed at the row of people and asked Jinse to choose.

"I only brought these people here today. Just pick the ones you like. If you don't like any of them, that's fine. I'll search for more and bring them to you later."

Although this number is not as many as the palace maids, it is still a lot. How picky she must be to not choose any one?
Jinse felt emotional, but she had to keep a straight face and walked among the crowd with a serious expression.

If you like one, just point it out and ask about the child's family situation, what special skills the child can have, etc.

I asked a few of them and they all seemed pretty good. They came from clean families, had some skills, and were all good-looking, with nothing shabby about them.

After asking several times, Jinse roughly understood in her mind that the people that Manager Wu brought here today were obviously brought here after careful screening by him.

There were more than a hundred people, and Jinse picked and chose, and finally selected fifty or sixty people.

Fifty or sixty people may seem like a lot, but after dividing the profits among everyone, there won’t be much left.

Not to mention anything else, the big kitchen transferred ten of them over at once.

Looking at the four ladies and six maids sent to the big kitchen, Jinse began to think about where to go to hire some skilled cooks.

If that doesn't work, why not try to coax Chef Liao from the palace's kitchen out?

I don't know if Master Liao is willing to leave the palace...

Jinse frowned as she pondered.

Manager Wu saw it immediately with his sharp eyes and asked immediately: "Miss, are you dissatisfied with anything? Just tell me."

Jinse came back to her senses and looked at Manager Wu, explaining, "There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with. These people are all very nice."

Manager Wu asked, "Miss, did you only pick these people today? Is there anything else you need?" Jinse thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head, "Now the mansion only needs to pick some people to work under us. These people are enough now. The others... are not needed for the time being."

As for other people, such as the skilled chef, the personal servants in the main courtyard, the gatekeepers outside the mansion, and the patrol and security personnel inside the mansion, there would be no time to arrange for them after she asked the Twelfth Prince for instructions.

Moreover, even if there is no need to ask the twelfth prince for permission, it is not easy to just pick these people from those brought by Manager Wu.

Manager Wu didn't say anything more after hearing this, and he had a perfect sense of propriety.

"In that case, if you need anything in the future, please send someone to Penglai Hall to find me, and I will definitely make arrangements for you."

Jinse agreed with a smile, then asked someone to get the silver for hiring the person, and then stuffed a purse into the pocket of Manager Wu: "This is for Manager Wu to have tea. Please help me arrange it in the next two days."

She thought that she might need to come into contact with Manager Wu in the future, so there was nothing wrong in making friends with him now.

"You are so polite, young lady..."

Manager Wu naturally wanted to get on good terms with Jinse.

Although from the information he had inquired about, the twelfth prince was indeed a little shallow compared to the previous princes, he was still a prince after all, and it was said that the emperor thought highly of the twelfth prince...

It is said that this person was once the most favored maid in front of the emperor, and now she has been assigned to manage the palace of the twelfth prince.

This also shows the emperor's attitude towards the twelfth prince.

With a mansion like this and people like this, shouldn't he, a small manager of this mansion, be more proactive and attentive?

Just like this, when Jinse handed him the purse, he subconsciously wanted to refuse it.

Jinse stuffed the purse into Manager Wu's hand without saying a word: "It's just some tea money. Manager Wu, you can't refuse it. Otherwise, how can I continue to ask Manager Wu for help in the future?"

There is an old saying that goes, if you take something from someone, you should be grateful.

If Manager Wu refused to accept her, she was afraid that he would no longer care about the affairs of the Twelfth Prince's Mansion in the future.

When Manager Wu heard this, he did not refuse. He put the purse into his sleeve with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. If you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

Jinse agreed with a smile and said a few more polite words before pointing to a little maid to send Manager Wu away.

Manager Wu left with those who were not chosen by Jinse.

The remaining people standing in the yard were also crowded.

Jinse called out a few people who originally worked in the twelfth prince's courtyard and asked them to select people according to their needs.

Jinse had already pointed out the people sent by Lin Yi and divided their responsibilities among them. Now she has pointed out those people and asked them to choose others by themselves. The meaning is very clear.

From then on, those people became minor managers in the areas they were in charge of.

Anyone who could be sent out by Lin Yi, the twelfth prince, would naturally not be a stupid person. After listening to Jinse's words, they all understood the meaning.

They first bowed to Jinse with a smile, and then stepped forward one by one to choose the subordinates they liked.

Jinse did not participate in these things and did not look at them much. She just said to the others: "You used to serve His Majesty the Twelfth Prince, and now you are busy with miscellaneous matters. It's not that there are some positions in this mansion that have to be reviewed by His Majesty himself before they can be decided. The candidates below have not been filled yet, so you don't have to worry."

She felt that she could directly decide on the candidates for various positions in the Twelfth Prince's Mansion, but the people in the Twelfth Prince's main courtyard had to be reviewed by the Twelfth Prince himself first.
