Chapter: 5223

Auntie said, "They all come from Malaysia, carefully selected from my original household staff when I first came here."

"I understand," Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and felt a bit more at ease.

These people all come from Malaysia and have been serving the Mcuo family for many years. They are basically pure and innocent household servants.

Although this kind of servitude no longer exists on the mainland, it is still preserved in traditional households in Southeast Asia.

In fact, true wealthy families in Southeast Asia have a ratio of servants to family members that can reach as high as five to one or even higher.

To ensure stability, reliability, and minimize personnel turnover, they often adopt this kind of household servant system, recruiting them from a young age and having them work in the family until retirement. The maids who select these household servants are mostly from poor families where one child is sent to work for a wealthy family.

It's great to be a maid as there are many advantages: eating well, living comfortably, and earning a good income, with most of the money saved up to support the family. The family also doesn't require them to have high education or proficiency in other languages, just that they work diligently and faithfully.

In economically underdeveloped Southeast Asia, this kind of job is extremely coveted by many families and individuals.

Therefore, the vast majority of maids consider household service as a lifelong career, even willing to give up marriage and childbearing for it.

The maids who grow up in such an environment treasure their work, are loyal to their employers, and have limited contact with the outside world, making it difficult for them to be influenced by negative thoughts from the outside. The security level is naturally much higher.

Lin Wan'er grew more and more fond of this place, her usual calm demeanor occasionally replaced with excitement as she told Auntie, "I need some things, I'll make a list later and you can help me get them."

Auntie respectfully said, "Okay, Lin Miss, give me the list and I'll go get it right away."

Inside Lin Wan'er, there's a girl who is aloof and brings out a few traits of cold arrogance.

She dislikes interpersonal interactions, enjoys staying at home reading books, writing calligraphy, painting, and burning incense and calculating fortunes.

This suite of residences owned by Qiu Ying Shan has indeed shocked her, making her want to take a break from the past few days' busy schedule and find a slow and leisurely rhythm for herself.

What's more, she had already decided not to contact Ye Chen before school starts, so this period is spent on self-cultivation, occasionally dressing up and taking a stroll around the famous historical sites of Jinling, which is the best plan for her.

Therefore, she made a list of items and let Auntie help with purchasing, with the list including 100 ancient books, 10 types of incense materials, 5 different origins of tea leaves, and various writing supplies.

Auntie received the list and asked, "Lin Miss, all the other items are clear, but what about these 100 ancient books? Do you have any specific requirements, such as book title or author?"

"There's none," Lin Wan'er smiled slightly. "Just go to Jinling's antique market and find some genuine ancient books, regardless of their content, as long as they're old and readable, you can buy them. As for the cost, just let Mr. Householder handle it directly."

Auntie secretly took a deep breath, wondering how someone in this day and age could still be fond of reading physical books.

Old books are antique collectibles, buying 100 pieces at once would definitely not be a small amount.

However, her professional ethics reminded her to always be mindful of her actions, not to ask unnecessary questions.

"So, she opened her mouth and said: 'Okay, Lin Miss, I'll get prepared later!'".

Lin Wan'er and Qi Yingshan's family had lunch together at the garden on the first floor of Jinling Manor around noon.

Not long after eating, Sun Zhidong arrived from Yanjing, looking worn out by the dusty road. JrNovels.com
