Sister Zhen stood up with a face full of shame: Mother, you are busy, I will leave first.

Eleven Niang didn’t keep her and sent her out with a smile: What are you busy with these days?

Second Aunt is taking her homework test

Have you told your second aunt about going to the Spring Banquet? Then the homework will have to stop.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Sister Zhen's eyes: I'll tell the second aunt later, but she was a little scared.

The eleventh mother thought of the cold look of the second lady and told her: tell her early, lest she would feel uncomfortable if she found out from others.

Sister Zhen nodded repeatedly and said goodbye to her.

Eleven Niang and Amber went to the warehouse where the dowry was kept.

Zhu Xiang and Yan Rongdai were cleaning up with a few maids. When they saw them coming, they all stepped forward to salute.

How many things are in the library and who is responsible for which items are all registered one by one.

Seeing that the arrangement was in order, Eleven Niang nodded slightly and asked about several aunts.

Aunt Qin said that she would move on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Hu Bo said, Aunt Wen said that she had nothing and she would move it whenever she had free time. She also asked if you would like help here. Aunt Qiao did not ask for anything, she only asked for your permission.

When did she move and say that everything is up to you?

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Qiao Lianfang has been so cooperative during this period.

Going from one extreme to another can't help but give people a weird feeling.

I hope it’s just because I’m over-concerned.

Eleven Niang and Amber turned around and returned to the house.

On the way, he told her: Go to Aunt Qin's place in person. She moved immediately, and it was just dawn at that time. She installed the Bodhisattva at home, and she was very particular about it. You and Fang Xi should go there and ask clearly, so as not to be in a hurry later.

of.

Amber responded.

Mrs. Du’s mother came to invite Eleven Niang to come over.

Eleven Niang asked Mama Du to sit outside, and went in to change some clothes. Then she and Mama Du went to Mrs. Du's house. Along the way, she talked to her about romantic things, without saying a word of probing.

Mother Du couldn't help laughing and said: Madam Tai has something to discuss with Madam.

Eleven Niang didn't know what Du's mother meant when she said this, so she chose a safer answer: Mom is an elder, so she can't talk about it. She can just give her orders if she has something to do.

This is also true. If you take over the affairs of this big family, if you have any problems, you will naturally have to solve them yourself. Being the leader is not an easy task. You have rights and obligations.

Mother Du nodded secretly in her heart, and without saying anything else, she accompanied her to the dowager's house.

The Fifth Madam was also there. She was talking to Madam Tai when she saw the Eleventh Niang coming in. She stopped the conversation and stepped forward to meet the Eleventh Niang.

The madam said to the fifth madam: You can handle this matter yourself. However, the Jining master is very close to the Yang family. There are some things that should be avoided.

The Fifth Madam was overjoyed when she heard this. She bent her knees to thank the Dowager, exchanged greetings with the Eleventh Madam, and stood up to leave.

Mrs. Tai pointed to the opposite side of her and asked Eleven Niang to sit down, and said: Danyang said that Sister Xin has not slept well these days. She went to Jining and asked the deputy to burn it. She wanted Jining to come into the house to do some work.

Heaven's law. I agree.

It seems that everyone has concealed the fact that Sister Xin was frightened from the Madam.

Did the madam come to me for this matter?

Eleven Niang's thoughts flashed through her mind and she said with a smile: I don't know how many days the ritual ceremony will take. Let me see that the spring hall is spacious, close to the place where the fifth younger brother and sister live, and there are side rooms where the masters who perform the ritual ritual can be accommodated. You see, when the time comes

Master Jining, where can I rest?

The madam nodded repeatedly: You have considered it very carefully. Let’s arrange it this way when the time comes.

While they were talking, a little maid served tea.

The madam asked her to try: the new tea offered as tribute this year.

Eleven Niang picked it up and took a sip.

The color is emerald green and the fragrance is fragrant. It is the best Mingqian West Lake Longjing.

"Good tea," she said with a smile, rich in fragrance, fresh and natural.

After hearing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and told Mama Du: When the Fourth Madam goes back later, let the little maid take all the tea back.

Why is this so good? After hearing this, Eleven Niang said hurriedly, just give me a taste.

I'm older, not as young as you. Mrs. Du motioned to Mother Du to get some tea. I'd better make the tea after tomorrow.

Mingqian tea has a strong flavor, while Minghou tea has a lighter flavor. Mingqian tea is indeed not suitable for young and older people. What Mrs. Tai said is very reasonable. But Eleven Niang still said: You should leave some for the guests, as well as the second sister-in-law and the fifth younger sister-in-law.

I'll send some to you when you get there.

After hearing this, Mrs. Tai repeatedly said yes and told Mama Du to leave five taels for the guests.

Mother Du left in response, and Madam Tai and Eleven Niang were talking about something else.

I heard the mother in your house hasn't been settled yet.

Not only has the mother in charge of the eleventh mother's house not been settled, but the seat left by Gan Laoquan has always been vacant, and the person who used to work with Gan Laoquan has temporarily filled it.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. She said, I am not very familiar with the people in the family, so it is really hard to make a decision at the moment. I just wanted to ask my mother to give me an idea.

The lady was not polite after hearing this and said with a smile: I came to you just to recommend someone to you.

Mom, tell me quickly. Eleventh mother believes in Mrs. Tai’s vision.

It belongs to the comprador family of the Song Dynasty in the outer courtyard.

That Comprador Song who helped Yuan Niang go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the palace powder

Eleven Niang was slightly surprised.

The Dowager Madam has already said: There is an unknown rule in our palace. The mother-in-law who is in charge of the outer courtyard cannot be the mother in charge of the lady's house. But this Song Comprador's daughter-in-law was originally the only daughter of the chief steward when your father-in-law was there. She was smart since she was a child.

Li, once worked as a maid in my house. Later, I hired Comprador Song to stay at home, and Comprador Song worked as an errand in the house. She stayed at home. I thought about it over and over again. She is the most suitable person.

Since Mrs. Tai recommended someone to her, she naturally weighed it in her heart. The person must be capable. It's just the rules of the house.

She said tactfully: Thank you, mother, for favoring me. Comprador Song is from the outer courtyard. If the Marquis's business is delayed because of my affairs, I will be frightened.

Rules are dead, people are alive. Madam Tai laughed straight after hearing this. Just do it if you think it is good. I will talk to the fourth child about this.

What the lady said makes sense.

She didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, lest the Madam think that she was not satisfied with the Madam's recommendation.

The madam asked her about moving.

Amber and Lu Yun are responsible for the things in my house, Zhu Xiang and Yan Rong are responsible for the things in the warehouse. Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen are in charge of Fangxi and Xiulan. Only Aunt Qiao is in charge. She has just given birth, so I asked Hongxiu to help

With her moving, Eleven Niang told the lady in detail the order of moving, the time limit for moving each house, and the route.

The wife was very happy when she saw that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, no matter how big or small, and she couldn't find any faults. She showed a boss's relieved smile and kept urging her to get busy: hurry up and get settled. Please invite a few tables of wine. We are having a lot of fun.

Eleven Niang said yes with a smile, chatted with Mrs. Tai for a few words, got up and went back to the house.

When Xu Lingyi came back in the evening, she specially brewed the Longjing tea given by Mrs. Tai. She called me over to ask the housekeeper about the matter and rewarded me with the tea. How did the Marquis taste?

Xu Lingyi picked it up and took a sip: It's good. It's a good West Lake Longjing. It tastes mellow and smells fragrant. Then he naturally talked about it with her: Mom called me to talk about it this afternoon. I also think it's good.

Let's settle it like this

Eleven Niang nodded and said with a smile: Mom recommended it, and the Marquis also thinks it is good, so there is nothing wrong with it. It’s just that I’m afraid of breaking the rules of the house.

If other people encountered this kind of exception, I don't know how happy they would be. But Xu Lingyi saw Eleven Niang's eyebrows lightly frowning, her eyes filled with worry, and she pinched her nose like a ghost, and teased:

:My mother and I have made an exception for you, and you’re still not happy?

As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled.

One feels that what he said is frivolous, and the other feels that the consequences will be serious.

The former was a little embarrassed, and the latter hurriedly said: If there are no rules, we can't make a circle. If you make an exception for my sake, it is the intention of my mother and the Marquis. But if I, as the head of the family, accept it like this, everyone in the future will

You can't help but follow the example, and you can find reasons to make exceptions. The tone is soft but strong, Mr. Hou, Mother Song is the person that both you and mother like. I really want her to come to my room. Look, can you think about it?

other ways

Speaking of which, Comprador Song has been staying in the warehouse for ten years. Xu Lingyi said sternly, I think he is doing well. It happens that the shop in Nanjing is short of a second shopkeeper. I think it is better to let him practice.

Practicing. In this way, it will be justifiable for his wife to work in your house. Besides, being able to be released as the shopkeeper will also give him the dignity, and give him the dignity of his deceased father-in-law.

The Marquis had such a good idea that Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief. Talking about the candidate to replace Comprador Song: It turns out that the eldest sister left a man named Yang Huizu. I asked him to help me buy things, and it seems that he did a good job. If the Marquis returns,

If you haven't decided yet, why not think about it?

Xu Lingyi was slightly surprised.

Eleven Niang never took the initiative to ask about the affairs of the outer court, let alone recommend people to him like this.

There was nothing I could do about it. He saw his wife and sighed, "Wanxiang was ganging up in groups, cheating on people, and stealing people. I thought it was a bit outrageous. Then after Eleven Niang left Gan Laoquan, she let the original

The person who was helping Gan Laoquan in charge temporarily took over Gan Laoquan's place in charge. Wanxiang not only showed her face to others, but also harassed people in the kitchen to embarrass him. She was also in charge of the kitchen. After Gan Laoquan left, I also had the same intention.

.Only because I had just taken over and the situation was unclear and it was inconvenient to change immediately, I temporarily appointed that person. Even though she was dissatisfied, it was my intention after all. In this way, it would be difficult to keep her. I was afraid that she would be killed.

The chicken has been shown to the monkey. I am worried about the hearts of those who followed my eldest sister. If I can use another hand to scratch the itch, I will have more confidence in my actions.

Okay, Xu Lingyi nodded, and let Yang Huizu go see Manager Bai the day after tomorrow, but he didn't mention whether there was a candidate for Comprador Song's vacancy in advance.

There was a power outage at home, but luckily the workplace had electricity. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster again.
