011 Clean up the mess

"Yes, Jin Rongyue, the elder brother of Concubine Jia and the second lady of the Jin Jianjin family of the Ministry of Industry of the Dynasty, is a talented girl in Kyoto. ”

This prefix is too long, and Feng Jiwen only roughly remembers the words "talented girl".

This study is modeled after another girl's house.

The comparison between the little girls is not difficult to understand, but this study is indeed excellent, although she has no ambition to be a talented woman in the capital, but on weekdays to practice calligraphy and read books, there is a ready-made venue.

Feng Jiwen was walking in the study, and Xi Shi followed behind her and continued to explain: "There are two rooms in the west room to store miscellaneous items, one is the slave and maid before and ...... Those who live with Diao Chan live in another room, and the second-class maids and rough envoys in the courtyard live in the back hugging building, and the row on the east side is empty and reserved as guest rooms. ”

Feng Jiwen nodded to indicate that she knew.

Reaching out and pushing open a window behind the desk, there were three or four old plum trees outside the window.

The more Feng Jiwen looks at it, the more she likes it, and she has the opportunity to live a new life, and she is full of longing for a leisurely house girl life in the future.

Of course, before that, she had to clean up the mess left by the original owner.

After getting acquainted with the general environment of Yinglian Mansion, Feng Jiwen sat in the hall to eat tea and rest, and Xi Shi stood aside to serve.

Feng Jiwen thought that when she was in Jingyun Nunnery, Concubine Guo taught her etiquette at the same time, and also taught some common sense and experience of housekeepers, so she asked Xi Shi: "There is no female master in the house, who is in charge of the accounts on weekdays?"

According to what Xi Shi said before, Yinglian also has two concubines, but she is not young, she has no heirs, and she usually lives in a simple house, and she hardly sees anyone.

As for Aunt Wu, she doesn't even have the qualifications to eat at the table, so she must not be able to preside over the feed.

Xi Shiyan said: "After the old lady passed away, the old lady wanted to hand it over to the girl to manage, but later saw that the girl really couldn't manage it, and the population in the house was not large, so he directly handed it over to the old housekeeper Uncle Qing to preside, and the general ledger was personally checked by the old lady every month." The masters of each courtyard are in charge of themselves - the girl doesn't like to worry about this, so she handed over the monthly silver and procurement matters in our courtyard to Mama Gui. ”

The expenses and monthly expenses in the Tang Courtyard are the most in the entire Yinglian Mansion, and Feng Jiwen, the master who refuses to grow his brains, must have been rubbing oil and water on it before.

Thinking of Yinglian's age, the things in the officialdom are enough for him to worry about, and he has to worry about the middle feed in the house when he goes back, which is really pitiful.

And Feng Jiwen, who is a granddaughter, only does to cause trouble in the back.

It's hard for this old man to be reluctant to say anything heavy to her......

"In the future, I will take care of the accounts in the Tang Courtyard myself. Feng Jiwen said.

As for the house, it is still for the time being to let the old housekeeper bother again, although she has learned a lot from the concubine, but the practical experience is zero, so for the time being, it is better to take care of the situation in her yard first, and then see if she can take over the middle feed in the house.

Although it is crossed, it does not have the ability to become a big fat man in one bite.

"Yes. When Xi Shi heard her say this, she probably felt that her girl had grown up, so she seemed very happy, and said: "But there must always be a housekeeper in the yard, although our house is not more complicated than ordinary eunuchs, but there must be an old man who helps the girl pay attention to the big and small things." ”

The age of the grandmothers is there, and a lot of experience is not comparable to the girls.

"That's a thing. Feng Jiwen nodded, since she was determined to adapt to the ancient life, she had to follow the rules, but the housekeeper was afraid that it would be difficult to find, right?

First of all, you have to be trustworthy, and secondly, you have to have some skill.

Therefore, even if the housekeeper of a large family is not the girl's nurse, she is at least the mother-in-law who watched the girl grow up.

You can't always find a living person from outside.

"Is there a suitable person in the house?" Feng Jiwen asked.

Xi Shi shook his head and said, "...... The slave maid and Diao Chan were both bought by the young lady from the human servant last year, and I don't know much about the previous situation in the house, but as far as the slave and maid know, the mother-in-law who can manage things in the house has a master. However, the ......"

Feng Jiwen suddenly hesitated when she heard her say this, and couldn't help asking, "What's that?"

"No, nothing. Xi Shi smiled, "The slave wants to say it, but you can't just find someone to top, anyway, it's not in a hurry, why don't you make up for the maid in the yard first?"

Without Diao Chan, it is equivalent to missing a first-class maid, Feng Jiwen is now indispensable to be accompanied by Xi Shi, so there must be a girl who will take care of the trivial things in the room.

Xi Shi is careful enough, but he lacks a little courage to manage people, and he has too little experience, as Concubine Guo said, he is not good enough to abide by the rules. So you have to find someone who is relatively experienced enough and can calm the people below to complement Xi Shi.

Feng Jiwen thought that when she returned to Tangyuan at noon, a second-class maid who had stayed in the mansion was quite calm in her movements, so she asked, "What is the name of the maid who didn't go to Jingyun Nunnery with her before?"

"Is that what the girl is talking about?" said Shih Tzu, pointing out the door, a purple figure sitting under a willow tree in the courtyard doing needlework.

Feng Jiwen squinted her eyes and looked at her fixedly, nodded, and said, "I saw that she was quite stable today, and she was also very good at doing things, Xiao Yu and the others, they seemed to be afraid of her too?"

Xi Shi said with a complicated expression: "Yes, that's Sister Xiaoxing." Don't talk about Xiao Yu and them, even when Diao Chan was there before, they didn't dare to put their faces in front of her......"

"Oh?" Feng Jiwen became interested.

"Sister Xiaoxing is the daughter of the housekeeper Qingbo, and she grew up with you...... used to be a first-class maid next to the girl, in charge of half of the yard. Speaking of this, Xi Shi was a little embarrassed: "It was last year...... The slave maid and Diao Chan entered the house, and the girl directly lifted the slave and maid to the first class, and then demoted the little sister to the second class and moved to live in the hugging building. ”

Feng Jiwen was stunned.

Just because the newly bought maid is good-looking, the original right-hand man was demoted to the second class, which is simply the brain-dead in Yan Kong.

She served.

"The girl has lived in Jingyun Nunnery for the past two months, and it is because of Sister Xiaoxing at home that Tangyuan has been so orderly. When Xi Shi said this, he carefully glanced at Feng Jiwen's face.

Feng Jiwen thought for a while and said, "You go and call her over, and I'll say a few words to her." ”

"Yes. ”

Xi Shi responded, and immediately went to the courtyard to call someone.

When the maid who woke up saw Xi Shi coming, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and when she heard Xi Shi say that Feng Jiwen wanted to see her, she looked in the direction of the hall very unexpectedly.

Put the small bamboo basket in his hand at his feet, hang his head and follow Xi Shi over.

Stepping on the three low stone steps, crossing the threshold of the vermilion hall, and standing still in the door, he refused to go any further, saluted Feng Jiwen, and asked, "I don't know what the girl ordered when she called the slave and maid over?"

Feng Jiwen said softly: "During the time I was away, I have worked hard for you. ”

Xiao Xing raised his head, and his originally calm face was full of surprises at the moment.

So much so that he was stunned for a while before he replied: "This is a matter for slaves and maids." ”

"You're very good at getting things done. Feng Jiwen smiled, and then stopped detouring, "I intend to promote you to a first-class maid, are you willing?"

Xiao Xing's expression, which was finally calmed down, suddenly collapsed, and his stunned appearance seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Feng Jiwen saw her appearance clearly.

It looks like he is fourteen or fifteen years old, with an ordinary appearance and not very big eyes, but he exudes a shrewd and calm.

is worthy of being a big girl.

"Isn't the girl going to find another maid?" she did not immediately agree.

"How can you be so familiar with the Tang Courtyard and be so good at doing things. Isn't it too much trouble to seek the near and far?" Feng Jiwen saw her look repeated, so she asked, "Don't you want to?"

"The girl's meaning, how dare the slave disobey. Xiao Xing straightened his face, but said: "It's just that the slave maid has two conditions." ”
