After resolving the maidservant issues, the housekeeper delivered the detailed accounts she needed the next day.
The delay was to prevent the Princess Consort from being overworked, as a failure on this front would be too serious.
Examining the accounts from the past three winters, Feng Yueya asked:
"Do those nannies and maidservants from yesterday all know needlework?"
"Yes, as per the Princess Consort's instructions, I have selected women capable of managing a household."
Housekeeper Li responded respectfully.
"Have they been assigned tasks yet?"
"I have already assigned tasks to everyone, but have not yet informed them.
This afternoon, I will ensure that everyone has their tasks to do."
"There's no need to assign them just yet. Send some experienced people to purchase cotton and fabric.
Have them make two pieces of winter clothing for each person in the Prince Manor according to their measurements.
In two months, you can assign tasks to them."
