Zhou just wanted to divide it equally, but seeing this situation, he couldn't say anything for a while, so he opened his purse, took a gold ingot and handed it to Ran Ran: "Be good, take it and play." ”

He Jiaxian smiled and did not push.

When he returned home, Hejing saw that Zhou asked her to count the silver in her purse, so he asked with a smile: "Why is it ninety taels? Shouldn't it be ninety-nine taels, take the long-term auspiciousness?"

Zhou said about today's rolling bed incident, and was a little angry: "Now that I see her in charge, everyone is touting her, don't forget, I am the main room of the Fang family." Now that I'm out of the house, those people only have a concubine in their eyes, and they have no concubines, and they have completely messed up the rules!"

Hejing didn't know Zhou's intentions, and persuaded: "It should have been the eldest grandmother in charge, but now isn't the uncle's health bad? If you blindly dominate the housekeeping power, outsiders will inevitably say that you don't care about the ......friendship between husband and wife."

"Hmph, wait for the uncle to ......" Zhou didn't finish speaking, he suddenly felt speechless, swallowed all the words into his stomach, never spoke again, got up and poured tea.

Hejing also knew what she hadn't finished speaking, and secretly said that Zhou also dared to think about it, so he stepped forward to pour her tea, and whispered: "Young Master Cousin is here! ”

"Which cousin young master?" Zhou didn't raise his head, her mother's family had a cousin, and she had already said not to look for her.

"The second young master of my mother's uncle's family. Hejing looked at Zhou's face and found that she was slightly panicked when she heard this identity.

"What he came to do, he never had anything to do with it. I'm a married girl, and I'm not a serious relative to them. Tell him to go back. Zhou was only flustered for a moment, and then held his expression.

The slave also thought it strange. However, I heard that he was a good drinker and a gambler, and I was afraid that he would ask for silver. Hejing came up with an idea: "If the time comes, if he really only needs silver, the slave and maid will drive him out." ”

"Forget it, in the end, relatives, don't mess with them gossiping. Zhou instructed: "If he comes again, give him twenty taels." ”

He Jiaxian is getting busier and busier, so busy that he can't do anything.

After discussing with Fang Qirui again, she made a difficult decision: simplify the administration.

Streamlining administration means delegating power.

First, the kitchen steward was promoted to a serious steward, with a supervisor, and then a specific division of labor among the cooks.

The treasury originally had a warehouse manager, but there were often people who grabbed this fat shortage. In order to avoid further disputes, Ho Ka-yin set up an overseer. One person is in charge of the key for one day, and if it is stolen and dereliction of duty, one person is responsible for half of the responsibility, and the person in charge of the key on that day is responsible for seven, and the other person is responsible for three.

The back garden is in charge of the flowers and plants, the deputy manager, the division of labor and cooperation, the specific things are arranged, and the steward is responsible.

In addition, Ho also learned a hand from home: a pair.

In the past, she had to receive silver and carriages, all of which were decided by the Golden Lady alone, as long as she said that it was Chen's order, it would work.

What's more, as long as the golden lady guesses Chen's intentions, she can withdraw money from the account room to do things. Afterwards, Chen felt that it was beneficial to him, so he forgot it.

In order to avoid the maids around him from being alone like the golden lady, He Jiaxian ordered people to make fifty pairs of cards, and made ten pairs of cards for Master Fang.

Master Fang looked at the pattern painted on it very exquisitely, and asked with a smile what it was.

He Jiaxian explained the purpose and put the pair of cards and the box in the hands of Master Fang: "If there is more than 1,000 taels, the daughter-in-law will ask her father, and if my father agrees, he will give me half of this pair of cards, and when the settlement is made at the end of the month, the pair of cards will be known at a glance." ”

"Why bother, I call you a steward, and I naturally believe in you. In the past, your mother's housekeeper used to withdraw the money at will, and if the amount was large, she would tell me......" Master Fang said.

"The daughter-in-law knows, but people are conscious. Trust is also accumulated day by day, and if you don't pay attention to it one day, it will cause people to be suspicious, and it will also be a landslide, and there is no possibility of re-establishment. This pair of cards, one is to reassure the father, and the other is to reassure the upper and lower people. I know that there is this pair of cards, as long as I follow the procedure, when the time comes, the clearer will clear himself, and no one can frame me, and I can do things with peace of mind. Isn't that a good saying: A gentleman does not stand under a mast. I have such a large sum of money in my hands, and if anyone is uneasy and kind, it will inevitably be difficult to do things at that time. ”

"Pity your child, you have a heart. Master Fang said and sighed: "In the end, I wronged you." Married into our family, trembling like walking on thin ice, cautious. ”

He Jiaxian knew that he was talking about his own character, and when he arrived at the Fang family, he was inferior and sensitive, and he always felt that he was not worthy of these.

"You see, your mother never said that what should be done according to the rules, according to the procedure, it was entirely according to her own mood...... She's not worried about being accused of stealing from the guards......"

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and did not speak again.

Over the years, because of the rich dowry, the Chen family helped the Fang family survive the catastrophe, and later after the comeback, the old lady immediately redeemed the dowry one by one and returned it all to the Chen family.

Therefore, he has always been confident and bold to hand over tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Chen family, and has never asked. Now that he thinks about it, he has always been preconceived, and he has never calculated the accounts - how much money is the silver of Fang Qiye's loser?

How much silver does Chan still have?

Master Fang secretly paid attention and wanted to check it out.

He Jiaxian sent the pair of cards, and told the stewards everywhere about the use of the cards one by one.

Ma Hejing's family hurriedly asked: "Is it that in the future, if the slave and maid want to receive the monthly silver, they will go directly to the account room to withdraw it with the right cards, not to mention returning to the young grandmother, and wait for the young grandmother to go to the account room to receive it, and then give it to the slave and maid, and then the slave and maid will be distributed everywhere?"

He Jiaxian nodded, and he had a good impression of this horse and the Jing family: "What you said is very good, this is what you mean everywhere in the future." Especially the purchasing steward in our yard. ”

Steward Zhang stepped forward.

"You are in charge of all the purchases, except for the kitchen, clothes and cloth, horses, and soft car, you should be the one who comes to me to get the most licenses. But it's not all at once, you have to get each pair of cards to buy what, write it clearly. One can only correspond to one, you know?"

Steward Zhang muttered, "Wouldn't that be very troublesome." In the past, the general ledger was calculated, and the lady went to the account room to receive the silver to the villain, or wrote a note to the villain to receive the silver herself, and then the villain distributed it one by one. Over the years, the villain has never embezzled a penny, and the accounts are clear......"

"I know. He Jiaxian smiled: "Then don't you feel tired and panicked?"

Steward Zhang stopped talking.

When it comes to money, Chan is always very careful. Trust him alone. So when the money arrived, he went everywhere to pay, to run errands, to negotiate the price......

"In the future, you can only come to me and get all kinds of pairs of cards, and take the pairs of cards to get the silver. Then, hand over the pair of cards and silver to the little guys to do, whoever takes what pair of cards to get what silver, sign and draw a pledge at your place, and when the time comes, whoever goes wrong will find whose responsibility. Spread out the large sums of money so you don't have to worry about someone filling your pocket. What do you think?"

Steward Zhang thought about it for a while, felt that it was feasible, and nodded: "However, I have to tell the chief manager that the purchase of the inner courtyard is reported to his wife, and the purchase of the outer courtyard is reported to the general manager of Fang Fu." ”

"That's nature. "Since Fang Fu is still in his position, he naturally has to say that the rules have changed.

Manager Fang Fu didn't buy it, and only said to He Jiaxian: "If the second grandmother is in charge of the backyard, just make your own decisions." My side is a fixed-line process, so I don't have to worry about the second grandmother. ”

He Jiaxian saw that he didn't appreciate it, so he only smiled and didn't say anything.

Fang Fu died of his wife a few years ago, and he never remarried, he was alone, but he was very upright, and the other party's family was also fiercely loyal. Therefore, Master Fang has always trusted him. The people in the house also respect him.

On the second day, when Master Fang went out and was accompanied by Fang Fu, Master Fang brought up this topic: "I heard that yesterday the second daughter-in-law handed you the right cards......?

Fang Fu smiled silently: "The master has been doing business outside all the year round, so he is faster to accept new things. Like the old slave, a person with a leg in the grave will not engage in these nonsense things. In the past, it was okay to manage it like that. ”

Master Fang smiled when he heard this: "You, there are not many books, you are still an old and rotten." ”

Ran Ran grew up day by day, and the affairs of the Fang family's back house were smooth day by day, and the autumn was also close at hand.

Fang Qirui simply ate and lived at He's house every day, and had no time to come back. For a while, I spent all my time in Wen Shu, and I had to make a last stand.

He Jiaxian had seen the test papers of Xiucai before, which would not be inferior to the usual simulation, and the requirements were quite high, so he understood that there was a reason for the high status of ancient scholars.

Just a show talent is so difficult to test, and I don't know how difficult it will be to raise people in the future.

Because Fang Qirui was in charge of the He family, He Runian's mind was also all on this student, Chunjiao didn't dare to mess around, and Xu's illness slowly improved under the care of Coral.

On the day of the exam, He Jiaxian took out a red purse and tied it around Fang Qirui's waist: "I know I can't bring it in, it's a good sign that you can bring it for a while." ”

Fang Qirui smiled: "Didn't you believe in this before? Mrs. They often go to the temple to kowtow and pray, but you are also reluctant to go." ”

He Jiaxian only smiled and did not speak.

In her heart, last time she was very opposed to Fang Qirui, because of Aunt Mei's request, she gave up her ideal of learning to do business and went to study instead. The two men argued.

Now she stayed up all night with the word "pass" embroidered on it, which really shows her attitude - she resents Fang Qirui's future being controlled by others, but in fact, the words that she pleaded with him to control his future are actually affecting his real choice.

It doesn't matter what he likes to do, she supports him, as long as he doesn't commit adultery.

Actually, she still has a little selfishness that she didn't say.

Chen Li used to always say that "the penitent husband is looking for a seal". It means that you must not help your husband to develop. When you are developed, you will not recognize the wife of the chaff.

He Jiaxian thought so at first. Even if Fang Qirui is in business, it is only a family business, and it is not what she helps. With or without her help, the Fang family is a rich man.

But if he takes the official career, although she has not made great contributions, she will feel that this is the wealth after marrying her and entering the door, and her heart will be unbalanced.

It's just that now, she feels that what Chen Li said is wrong.

A man, if he has you in his heart, he will not abandon you if he is sealed or not.

If you don't have you in your heart, you will be poor, and you will do the same.

Even if you don't have the ability to marry another person for the time being, I'm afraid that you will be half-hearted.

Some people don't have a heart, so don't want this kind of man.

He Jiaxian also found that the status of ancient people in the wife of dregs was much stricter than that of modern times.

If she really supported Fang Qirui to become a big official, she would be the first hero. Fang Qirui wants to marry another, but he can't. Public opinion will crush him!

Not surprisingly, Fang Qirui is from the high school.

He Jiaxian returned home like a pins and needles, both relieved and worried about accidents.

After thinking about it, I actually ordered someone to start preparing for the banquet after high school.

Master Fang smiled when he heard this: "Since this is the case, let's prepare according to what the second grandmother said." ”

The whole Fang Mansion got busy.

Within a few days, there was a ballad from top to bottom of Yanzhou City: "The good wife should belong to He Jiaxian, and she will go to high school before the exam." ”

In the beginning, it was a joke.

However, after the list was released, Fang Qirui's name was at the top of the list, and this sentence became a compliment.

Because of the preparation in advance, on the day of the feast, down to the seating of the ingredients, up to the decoration of the house, the people under the division of labor are meticulous, each performing its own duties, and it is orderly.

He Jiaxian shuttled through the crowd and couldn't stop being praised by everyone.

First, the banquet was arranged in a decent and luxurious manner, and second, everyone in Fang Qirui High School thought that her father and daughter had made great contributions.

He Runian sat on the top seat a long time ago, surrounded by a circle of people who wanted him to "pass on the scriptures and send treasures", hoping that his family would be able to gain fame.

Mr. who can teach a gentleman to become a high school in one fell swoop, and has passed the two major exams of Tongsheng Xiucai, He Runian's reputation among scholars has reached a new level.

Compared with the scene when Chen was left out on his last birthday, the backyard is a new scene.

The Xu family was also held high by the ladies and sat on the top.

"Oh, Mrs. He is really getting younger and younger. The daughter who gave birth is good, she is in charge of the family affairs so quickly, and she cooks in an orderly manner, capable and virtuous. ”

"That is, speaking of which, the daughters taught by fathers like Mr. He are naturally different. ”

Xu agreed one by one, watching his daughter shuttling through the crowd in a dignified and decent manner, giving orders to the people, and leading the ladies to sit and serve tea, and tell things to the stewards, his heart was naturally very useful.

Aunt Mei also made a sub-protagonist today.

Everyone knows that Fang Qirui was born to her, and because her identity was exposed last time she was imprisoned, and then she was amnesty, and a real lady in the Fang family spread.

"Aunt Mei is from a big family, look at this sitting posture...... Gee...... This dresses up. Oops, look at the bells and whistles I'm wearing, it's ......."

Chen looked at his clothes in crimson with rich begonia flowers.
