"That's just a façade. Yu Xinlan calmly said to Qin Hanzhen, "Mother-in-law's reputation for supporting her mother's family is too strong, so her mother-in-law is wary. As soon as her father-in-law said it, she believed it. ”

This is a private conversation with Yu Xinlan when Qin Hanzhen went to visit the newlyweds in Fuguiju after sending Qin Shutao's family away. She was quite surprised. It was not an accident that Yu's second uncle Qin Zhonghai would hand over the power of Zhongfeng to Yu Xinlan, the new daughter-in-law who entered the door, but it was unexpected that Yu Xinlan would know the reason.

In this regard, Yu Xinlan just smiled slightly: "The prime minister has made it clear to me." Originally, I was honestly scared, for fear that I wouldn't be able to do it. But after listening to Xianggong's words, he knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility. Only by doing our best can we live up to the trust of my father-in-law and my father-in-law. ”

Yu Xinlan's words are not untargeted. The Yao family let go of the money in the early years, but later because Grandma Pei threatened with the old thing, he almost sold Qin Jinchun in the second room. Many of his actions have violated Qin Zhonghai's bottom line. Qin Hanzhen had already told the elders the news he knew, hoping that the long house could deal with the Yao family. If Qin Zhonghai doesn't want to let his confused wife take charge of the family anymore and do more ridiculous things in the future, affecting the whole family, then handing over the power of the family to others is the only choice.

Xu's bedridden illness and the shortcomings of his eccentric mother's family are certainly not ideal candidates for succession. The Min family was okay, but she had a cold temperament, and now she has taken office with her husband, and she can't be in charge of the house either. Fortunately, Qin Jian married a wife at this time. Yu Xinlan has a noble background and has all knowledge and talents, even if her personality may be a little inappropriate, she can only take up her post.

It's just that in Qin Hanzhen's opinion, today's Chengenhou Mansion and his entourage did not notice any chaos, and the subordinates acted in an orderly manner, which shows that Yu Xinlan managed this family quite well.

But Qin Hanzhen still asked Yu Xinlan: "Do you feel tired? Can you adapt? You shouldn't have taken care of this kind of thing at home, right?"

Yu Xinlan smiled: "After the marriage, my mother took me by her side to teach me for a while, but I didn't have a way to get started. Housework, to put it mildly, is just a few things that matter. I just need to take care of the key places, and leave the rest to the people below, and there is nothing tiring about it. My mother gave me a few rooms to marry, and the family members were all very shrewd and capable, and with their help, there was not much for me to worry about. Now I'll let them follow the original stewards of this house, and if there's anything to keep an eye on, they'll tell me. Those stewards have been trained by my mother-in-law for many years, and they are quite effective, and they are polite to me. I am the new daughter-in-law who has just taken office, and I don't have to burn those three fires, Xiao Guicao is enough. After a long time, everything has been straightened out, I have to make rectifications again, and there is no reason for the people below to be disobedient. ”

Butler Yu Xinlan is very different from the Yao family. She brought four dowry girls and four rooms to marry into the Chengenhou Mansion. These dowry personnel have all been carefully selected by Mrs. Shoushanbo, not only loyal, but also capable, with good personalities and skills, and will not easily conflict with the subordinates in the Chengenhou Mansion and cause trouble to the hostess. After Yu Xinlan took over the power of Zhongfeng, she did not move a few decent positions in the house, but stayed with everyone as they were, and only placed the dowry staff around her as assistants. These assistants were very polite and respectful to the original stewards, and it seemed that in addition to being wary of the stewards' calculations against Yu Xinlan, they would not interfere in seizing power, and the stewards were a little relieved, and Yao looked at it in his eyes, and was even more satisfied that his daughter-in-law was humble and respectful enough for him.

Yu Xinlan follows the original rules of the Chengenhou Mansion, and there are capable helpers at the bottom, so she is not distracted to take care of those specific trivial matters, she only needs to report to her after the stewards summarize the affairs. The money that should be used, the people who should be used, and the items that should be assigned, as long as she doesn't make small moves, she basically won't be embarrassed by anyone. In this way, as long as the subordinates are honest, they feel relaxed. And those who are not very honest also think that it is not difficult to fool people, at most they are not as greedy as before, but the trickle of water is also silver. In general, almost everyone thinks that the new grandmother is gentle and generous, and she is much more generous than the second grandmother Yao, who was originally in charge.

You must know that the Yao family is a careful and exquisite master, except for her henchmen who can boldly be greedy for silver, others even break two more bowls, and they have to be questioned by her again and again. The monthly expenditure on rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables, Yao's even calculated. On Yu Xinlan's side, there are companions who worry about her. She doesn't manage it that finely at all.

However, in fact, Yu Xinlan is not really such an indifferent person. She seems to be too lazy to seize power with her mother-in-law now, but in the future, as long as she needs to, with an order, her companions can take over the errands of the stewards that the Yao family relies on at any time. As soon as the affairs are familiarized, even the contacts have been opened, the prestige is also gained, the accounts are clearer, and the pros and cons are all clear, no one wants to fool them. The money that had been embezzled in the past served as a justification for the punishment of these stewards. Even if the Yao family protects them again, they don't have the face to say that they are innocent. At that time, with these capable companions, Yu Xinlan can still only be responsible for the general affairs, regardless of specific affairs. Anyway, the subordinates who marry are absolutely trustworthy in loyalty, and there are restrictions on the Shoushan Bofu side, and there is mutual supervision internally, so there is no mistake. Yu Xinlan doesn't need to ask about everything like Yao's, and she still has time to cultivate a relationship with her newlywed husband Qin Jian, and continue to read books and write poems like she did when she was in the boudoir.

Therefore, Yu Xinlan faced Qin Hanzhen's question and answered very lightly.

Qin Hanzhen raised her eyebrows at her answer, smiled and didn't ask any more: "It's good that you know it in your heart." In fact, such a big home seems to be quite difficult to manage at first, but it is okay after getting used to it. My mother's home, Yongjiahou Mansion, my grandmother was not good at feeding affairs before, but with the help of my grandmothers, didn't she adapt to it? Now my mother and aunts work together to manage things, and they are not tired. The Chengenhou Mansion is more populous, and the people may be more complicated. But although you are the new daughter-in-law, you have enough weight to suppress, the lobby brother protects you, and the elders are willing to support you, you have nothing to worry about at all. If someone really doesn't have a long eye and wants to do something against you, you can tell Brother Lobby, and he will deal with it for you. Don't tell him nothing just because you're worried that it will affect his exam preparation. If you are wronged in a place he doesn't know, he won't be in the mood to study and prepare for the exam. Only when you are safe and smooth can he study with peace of mind. ”

Yu Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, her face turned red, but she still solemnly thanked Qin Hanzhen for her proposal: "Xianggong also told me to find him if I have difficulties, don't hide it from him." "It's Yao's, who has told her more than once to go to her mother-in-law if she has something, and her mother-in-law will make the decision for her, don't use these trivial things to bother Qin Jian in the preparation for the exam. Yu Xinlan just listened. For her, where is her mother-in-law as reliable as her husband? Even her father-in-law is much more reliable than her mother-in-law!

Although Yu Xinlan seemed to be taking over the feeder very smoothly, and the Yao family didn't block her, Qin Hanzhen was still surprised. How could the Yao family be so obedient? Even if her daughter-in-law was from a noble background and could control the scene, she would not really be willing to give away the power in her hands, right? No matter how troublesome the Xu family was, she would not be willing. She can completely let Yu Xinlan be her helper, hand over the trivial matters, take charge of the affairs by herself, and retain the power. With her character, that's what she would do.

In this regard, Yu Xinlan still said lightly: "My mother-in-law only said that let me take care of the middle feed for a while, and she has to go to serve her mother-in-law." She didn't say how long this period was, Xianggong told me that it might be a few months of hard work, until the end of Enke next year, right? Xianggong asked me to practice my hands first, and if I was annoyed and didn't want to take care of things, I would leave it to a few companions to take care of. But my mother-in-law is old and has worked hard for so many years, so let her rest. My father-in-law knows this in his heart, and he will convince his mother-in-law, so I don't have to worry. ”

It's not that Qin Jian is not filial, but that he is now an adult and understands things, so he naturally knows how unreliable his own mother is. He was also on his father's side, in favor of depriving his mother of the power of the middle feed. Anyway, he believed that his wife was a decent and courteous person, and there would be no neglect of her in-laws, so what did it matter if her mother was no longer in power? Mother enjoys more blessings, maybe she can live a little longer.

Qin Jian even went to appease the Yao family in person, saying that his son would not have a daughter-in-law and forget his mother, and that his daughter-in-law was young and needed his mother's guidance. Yao was satisfied when she heard this, and decided that she just needed to rest for a few months and concentrate on taking good care of her mother-in-law, so how could she have any place to embarrass her daughter-in-law? She even helped to suppress a few subordinates who were deliberately bullying to take care of things, and felt that these subordinates did not give themselves face, and they dared to embarrass their daughter-in-law!

In this regard, Qin Hanzhen can only say that he admires his second uncle Qin Zhonghai and his lobby brother Qin Jian. With them coaxing the Yao family, the Yao family will be so obedient. And when this half a year has passed, what if she has a good taste? Yu Xinlan has already gotten her hands on it, and she can really seize power at any time, the Yao family can't even find a few helpers, and her husband and son are not on her side, can she really turn against her son and daughter-in-law? It is estimated that when the time comes, she can only force a smile and praise her son and daughter-in-law for their filial piety, so that she can enjoy leisure, right?

Qin Hanzhen sighed, but he was also happy to hear it. She also blessed Yu Xinlan, hoping that this sister-in-law could completely grasp the power of Chengenhou's mansion as soon as possible. By the way, she also reminded Yu Xinlan of one thing: "With Brother Lobby here, the second aunt is easy to deal with, coax her more, and take good care of Brother Lobby, she will not be able to find fault." But the uncle and grandmother are more troublesome. She is a person who is bent on her mother's family, and you must have heard of her reputation when you were in your mother's house. If she presses you as an elder and asks you to do something for the Xu family, you are young and thin-skinned, and you may not be able to bear it. When the time comes, remember to ask the second aunt for help. Even if she has a little complaint against you, she will definitely protect you if she can't get past the grudge against your uncle and grandmother. At that time, if your mother-in-law and your mother-in-law have a quarrel, you can just stay quiet and watch the excitement, and you don't have to get involved. ”

Yu Xinlan blinked and let out an "oh" slowly. 2k reading web
