Opening of the Nursery

Ah Yu wanted to add more people to the family and had also informed her family in advance.

Other than her Second Uncle who was serving as an official, her Eldest Sister-in-law, Qu Shuqiu, and herself, no one else in the family had personal maids to serve them.

There were several sister-in-laws who originally had personal maids, like Zhou Chuchu and Jiang Wujing. Later, in order to align with everyone else, they sent their personal maids back to their maternal homes and became self-reliant.

The servants in the courtyard who handled the tough chores were mostly old servants. They were not enough.

In the future, the family would become bigger and bigger. They could not let the main family do everything themselves. That would be too tiring and inefficient.

According to Old Madam Wang, after a family grew stronger and richer, they had to be more particular about certain things. It was not like they couldn't afford that bit of extra expense.
