Chapter 39: The Enlightenment of the Daughter-in-law of the Descendant of the Long House

On the second day of Xifeng's marriage to Jiafu, he relieved Mrs. Wang's housekeeper power, which made the entire Rongguo Mansion startled from top to bottom. But Xifeng didn't take much effort to seize the power of the housekeeper.

Even if Xifeng is only sharing the power with Li Kun now, the servants below still can't help but weigh it, and finally come to a conclusion: This second grandmother Lian is not easy to mess with. But they won't risk falling to Xifeng now, what if Mrs. Wang turns the tables in a few days? The servants in the palace have their own plans, and no one wants to joke about their own future, and the only person who can be used in Xifeng's hands is still the dowry she brought from the palace.

However, Xifeng didn't think it was bad, there were really few servants in Rongguo's Mansion who could be useful. Even if those people want to find her to surrender, she is not rare.

After sending off the old lady and Mrs. Xing, Jia Lian and Xifeng entered the house together, and the maids and daughters-in-law were taken out by Xifeng again.

Jia Lian found that his daughter-in-law had a peculiarity that she didn't like to have any other people in the house when she was with him. This discovery made Jia Lian a little happy.

Seeing the clear soup and fresh water on the table, Xifeng couldn't help but pat his head: "Why did you forget to open the small kitchen alone?" Look at my brain. ”

Jia Lian smiled and pulled her to sit in the back room, and poured her tea very considerately: "Today has already won a big victory, let's wait for the small kitchen." Do you have a cook in your dowry? You can arrange for one to go to the kitchen, and she will cook the same meals in our yard in the future. ”

"Yes, Sister-in-law Tang was originally a cook in my mother's kitchen, and when I turned around, I listened to my grandfather arrange her to go to the kitchen. I just don't know if it can suit my taste. Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with a very sincere look.

Jia Lian's heart warmed, and he took Xifeng over and let her sit on his lap: "Don't pick it, just like it." ”

Xifeng couldn't help blushing, Jia Lian suddenly had the idea of teasing her, and stretched out her hand to gently flick her earrings: "You're afraid of the master, why are you still blushing?" ”

"No," Xifeng didn't want to admit that she was blushing.

"That's shy~" Jia Lian deliberately reached out and rubbed back and forth on Xifeng's cheek, which felt very good, and he was a little reluctant to take it away.

Xifeng hurriedly escaped from his embrace, this person is not very old, and there are many ways to flirt with people.

"And said that you are not afraid, what are you not afraid of running?" Jia Lian deliberately teased her.

"Grandma, Grandma Zhu, please come over." Qing'er suddenly replied like this outside, and Xifeng hurriedly straightened her clothes and went out.

Jia Lian felt a little lost in his heart, glanced around, took two steps and fell directly on the bed to look at the happy tent embroidered with mandarin ducks.

Before lunch, Mrs. Wang was relieved of her housekeeping rights, and although she almost vomited blood in anger when she went back, she was persuaded by Zhou Rui's family: "Don't worry, Mrs., won't the old lady let your daughter-in-law take care of the house with her." Grandma Zhu is your daughter-in-law, don't you always look at your face when you act and speak? As long as you call Grandma Zhu over and give you some pointers, this power is still in your hands, isn't it? ”

Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zhou Rui's family said was very right, and she didn't have time to eat, so she hurriedly called Li Kun over. Li Kun happened to hear about the old lady's decision, and was struggling with what to do when he was called over.

"In the future, you and Lian's daughter-in-law will be housekeepers together, and you will definitely be in good spirits. The slightest mistake can't come out, and what should be held in your hand must be held in your hand, so that the people below will look down on you. "Madame Wang has regained her ability to keep smiling.

Li Kun understood, and when he saw the little maid serving tea, he hurriedly held the tea cup for Mrs. Wang in person, and said with a smile: "What Mrs. said, my daughter-in-law has written it down." "She, Grandma Zhu, has been married for more than half a year, and everyone is quite respectful to her, but it's just because Jia Zhu is there. Now that she can hold the power in her hands and improve her status in the hearts of everyone, she will naturally not waste this opportunity. The rights assigned to Xifeng's hands are naturally as little as possible.

After Mrs. Wang finished explaining, she directly asked Zhou Rui's family to give Li Kun all the account books, warehouse keys, and brands. As soon as Li Kun returned to his yard, he sent someone to invite Xifeng over, and the two of them were in charge of the family's power, but Li Kun had already made up his mind that he could give Xifeng a little less.

Xifeng naturally understood in her heart that Li Kun would never treat her as her own, after all, she was Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law. Xifeng cleaned up, with a light smile on his face, and came over with Mama Qian and Qing'er Cui'er.

"Sister-in-law." Xifeng crossed the threshold and smiled at Li Kun and saluted.

"You're here, please take a seat." Li Kun got up to greet him, returned the salute, and pulled Xifeng to sit down.

The little maid served tea, Xifeng smiled and tasted a few sips, Li Kun called her because of the housekeeper's business, Li Kun didn't speak, and Xifeng didn't take the initiative to mention it. The two of them were more patient and chatted casually.

Seeing that Xifeng drank two teas and didn't mention the housekeeper's business, Li Kun was anxious, the account book was already in her hand, if she didn't give Xifeng alone, the old lady would be told if she asked back. had to speak first, but because Xifeng didn't mention it, Li Kun couldn't figure out how much power Xifeng wanted to take away from her, so he could only consider it again and again.

"My wife has already asked someone to send me the account book and key sign, can you take a look at it first?" Li Kun looked at Xifeng with a smile in his eyes, but the smile in Xifeng's eyes was fake.

Xifeng put down the teacup and also had a fake smile on his face: "Since my sister-in-law let me see it, then I can't help but watch it." Li Kun's heart suddenly changed, this person really knew how to climb the pole, so he asked people to bring all the account books.

"Brother and sister, let's see." Li Kun smiled again, this stack of account books, Xifeng couldn't finish reading it in the middle of the night.

"When are you going to see so many ledgers? I used to help my aunt in my mother's house, but I was just a foil to my aunt, but now my sister-in-law wants to give me all the account books, I don't have such a big ability. Xifeng smiled: "You can't let the old lady let the two of us take care of the house together, but I'll take everything over." My sister-in-law thinks I'm somebody. ”

Li Kun frowned almost inaudibly, she just took out the account book and let Xifeng go through it, she thought that she was going to take it all away for her?

Xifeng glanced at her expression very unnatural, and had a better understanding of Li Kun's temperament in her heart, and said with a smile: "Besides, seeing that Brother Zhu is about to come back from Taixue, I can't hold the account book in my sister-in-law's yard and read it, it's so ignorant," Xifeng said and gave Li Kun an expression that she understood, which made Li Kun's face blush.

"Otherwise, I'll just take the account book of the big house to see first, what does my sister-in-law think?" Li Kun's heart was relieved, knowing that all Xifeng wanted was the right to manage the big house.

Li Kun took a sip of the teacup, and smiled sincerely this time: "Since you say so, I will ask people to pick out all the account books of the big house and send them to you." To tell you the truth, I really have a headache when I look at so many account books, and the two of us can share the burden, which can be much lighter. "She'd love to be able to get all the mess out of the big house. In the future, she will take care of the affairs in the second room and the old lady's yard, as well as the public accounts, and Li Kun is very satisfied with this division.

After Xifeng took the account book and the brand, and discussed with Li Kun that Xifeng would only reconcile the accounts with Li Kun at the end of each month, as for the rest, according to the previous calendar, except for the silver of the big house, it can only be supported by holding Xifeng's brand, although Li Kun took the big head, he couldn't manage the affairs of the big house. The two agreed, and they both got what they wanted, and they became even more amiable.

When Xifeng came back to the courtyard, he entered the back room and saw Jia Lian lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed. Xifeng quietly went over and took a look, and found that Jia Lian seemed to be asleep. stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, but Jia Lian grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Jia Lian leaned sideways with a pillow: "The account books are all for you?" ”

"I only took our big house, and the rest are all at Sister-in-law Zhu." Xifeng smiled, the matter of the second room, begging her to take care of her, she didn't want to care. Now she should probably be regarded as Li Kun's deputy, Li Kun is under the orders of Mrs. Wang, to put it bluntly, this Rongguo Mansion is still in charge of Mrs. Wang. But Xifeng really doesn't care who is in charge of Rongguo Mansion, she just wants to touch the bottom of the big house first, and then rectify the atmosphere of the big house and work hard to clean the big house. It's good to be able to get the autonomy of a big house. Now that she has finished dividing up with Li Kun, in case the old lady knows that she is dissatisfied, Xifeng is not afraid.

"In this case, you can take care of it," Jia Lian said with a smile: "Feng'er Steward can rest assured." "In the past, the big house had no status, firstly because his father was really nonsense, and secondly, because Mrs. Xing's small family had little knowledge, and she couldn't even manage her own yard, let alone get a piece of the pie in housekeeping; And he, Jia Lian, has always been disliked by the old lady. Now it's okay, Xifeng's shot is so neat, even if the opponent is his own aunt, he doesn't drag it out at all, Jia Lian is very pleased. His daughter-in-law really can carry it.

Xifeng has taken the stewardship of the daily expenses of the big house, no matter who wants to use what, buy, or spend any money in the big house, he will naturally come to Xifeng to get the brand and then go to the account room or open the treasury. Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing are very satisfied, it is much more comfortable to be controlled by their daughter-in-law than to be managed by their younger brother and daughter-in-law who are stuck everywhere and embarrassed by them.

In the eyes of the entire big house, Xifeng is simply a perfect daughter-in-law who is dedicated to the big house, and Xifeng wants to numb everyone's nerves first, and create an illusion for everyone that "Grandma Lian is very kind and easy to bully". Therefore, after taking the account book, he only arranged his second daughter-in-law and the other two mothers-in-law to the kitchen to be responsible for her and Jia Lian's future meals, and then summoned the servants of the big house to give everyone a reassurance, so that the big house felt like a spring breeze.

The minions of the big house were very happy, and they didn't have to look at the face of the second room anymore to talk about things in the future, but Xifeng's temper was still so good, and he only said when he lectured: "In the future, everyone will be on an errand, and whoever does it well will be rewarded." ”

The minions looked at Xifeng's harmony, and they all became more and more relaxed. If you do it well, you will be rewarded, but if you do it badly? Everyone discussed it privately, the second grandmother is so kind, even if it is not done well, it should not be punished, it is estimated that at most it will say a few words.

Mama Qian and a few maids stood on both sides of Xifeng, looking coldly at the increasingly relaxed expressions of those people below, and couldn't stop sneering in their hearts, there will be times when they cry in the future.

The second day was the day when Xifeng returned to the door, and the Wang family had already sent her mother-in-law to meet her in a carriage. Li Kun was careful, and the old lady told him that he had prepared a gift for Xifeng to bring back to the door.

Jia Lian asked everyone to pack up, and then went to the palace with Xifeng in the car, and when they arrived at the place, Jia Lian got out of the car first, and then thoughtfully helped Xifeng down.

Wang You took someone out to greet his sister and brother-in-law, and when he saw Jia Lian so considerate, he squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Sister, brother-in-law." Wang You had already stepped forward to salute, and Jia Lian hurriedly helped him up.

"Father and mother have been waiting in the main hall for a long time." Wang You said with a smile.

"Let's go." Xifeng said and walked to the main hall with her skirt in her hand, and Jia Lian and Wang You hurriedly followed left and right.

As soon as they entered the door, Xifeng and Jia Lian saluted in a proper manner, Wang Ziteng and his wife personally helped Xifeng Jia Lian up, everyone sat and talked for a while, and Lin took Xifeng to her yard, leaving Wang Ziteng and his son to chat with Jia Lian. Wang Ziteng also took Jia Lian to the study.

Lin was still holding the blind Xifeng when he was a child, holding her hand step by step to Yilan Courtyard, and when he entered the house, he sent the maid and wife out.

"How have Feng'er been in the Rong Mansion these days?" The Lin family actually already knew what happened to Xifeng in the Rong Mansion, and they just wanted to see how she answered.

Sure enough, Xifeng is a good news but not a bad one, so she moved a small stool and sat down next to her next to Lin, leaning on Lin's lap: "Feng'er is very good, but I miss my family a little." ”

"Silly boy, since you married into their house, it is your family over there. Our palace is your mother's family. Lin stroked Xifeng's hair.

Xifeng thought about it and nodded, "Auntie's words, Feng'er understands." ”

Lin said again: "I heard that you competed with your uncle on the night you got married?" How does he treat you? Can you be gentle and considerate? Lin stared at Xifeng.

Xifeng's face flushed: "He treated me very well," thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and corrected: "It should be said that he treated me very well, I cheated and won him, and he was not angry." In the next two days, he was also considerate everywhere, and he also acted with me to help me get the right to be a steward. ”

"You know that the aunt is very relieved to grasp the power of the housekeeper in your hands first, but don't be tired of yourself. If it can be arranged for the next person, it will be arranged for the next person to do it. It's just that my aunt also wants to remind you that your second aunt is not a good match, you have to be careful. Saying that, the Lin family told Xifeng the news of her new investigation in the past two days.

"When we first came back last year, there were rumors outside that your eyes were not good, and I thought it was spread by someone who had a holiday with the old man. Thinking about it for the past few days, I feel that it may also have something to do with the Rong Mansion, although there is no definite evidence now, but it can be determined that the one in the second room is inseparable. ”

Xifeng sneered: "She really worked hard to get me to marry into the Rong Mansion, but she didn't expect that I wouldn't be with her." ”

"You're doing the right thing, it's only right to live a good life with your uncle. Your lord is the eldest son of the lord, and your uncle will also be the lord in the future, so there is no need to look at her face, she is now occupying the magpie's nest, and she is bullying you with Qiao, and the aunt can't spare him. Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and Xifeng's heart jumped.

"Auntie, what are you going to do for Feng'er?" Oh my God, she doesn't want the mess in Rongguofu, she just wants to clean up the big house first and then it's best to separate from the second room, even if Rongguofu gives the second room? It's just a mess, she just wants to break up.

Lin touched Xifeng's head lovingly: "Feng'er has a hard life, and she finally married a husband who knows how to hurt people, but she is still under her control." How about the aunt get Rongxi Hall back for you, and see how she will jump in the future. "What if Mrs. Wang is her sister-in-law? What if it's Wang Ziteng's own sister? She was an aunt but bullied Xifeng, and Lin was very angry. If Wang Ziteng knew, he might be even more angry than the Lin family.

"Feng'er knows that my aunt hurts me," Xifeng's eyes were slightly red, and she gently kneaded her eyes to plug back her tears: "It's just that I am dissatisfied with my aunt and said that Rongxitang Feng'er doesn't want it, and Feng'er is not uncommon to be the master of the house in Rongfu." ”

"Why?" Lin's eyes widened: "If you don't quickly rise to the top and gain a firm foothold, if she turns over in the future, she will definitely bully you even more." Xifeng just called her "second wife", she can let the kitchen supply Xifeng to eat, and pay it back in the future?

"Rongguofu is just a mess, the lord is just a first-class general, but he hangs the brand of the Guogong Mansion, and he still follows the old system of the Guogong Mansion, if he is held accountable in the future, he will not be able to get half of the benefits. Moreover, the inside of Nafu is just glamorous on the outside, and the inside is a little rotten, and Feng'er doesn't want it. Feng'er Ningyuan cleaned up the big room and separated from the second room. ”

"How easy are you to be separated?" Lin patted Xifeng's hand: "Don't be afraid, Feng'er, you are worried about the brand and regulations, just take it off." But there is one thing you have to know, even if the Rongguo Mansion is going to rot, even if it is going to fall, it has to rot in the hands of the big house, and it will fall in the hands of the big house. The second room is not qualified. The big house is the owner of the Rongguo Mansion. Our aunt is the heir to the righteous book, and my aunt can't let you suffer this kind of grievance. "In the past, the Lin family didn't care about the big house, but since Xifeng was married, and Mrs. Wang practiced this niece like that, the Lin family didn't plan to talk to Mrs. Wang about anything.

"Even if it's going to rot, it has to rot in the hands of the big house?" Xifeng's heart was shocked, as if he had heard something terrible.

Lin nodded: "No matter how bad the Rongguo Mansion is, it can't be given to the second room in vain." ”

"Perhaps, Rongguo Mansion will not rot again," Xifeng suddenly saw a little light: "Auntie is right, Rongguo Mansion should be taken back from the second room." "If the big house can be completely turned over, if she can get all the housekeeping rights, if she works hard to rectify it, maybe she can change the status quo.

After leaving the palace that afternoon, Xifeng's mood had changed. After chatting with the Lin family for a long time, she had the consciousness of being the granddaughter-in-law of the head of Rongguo Mansion. Even if Rongguo Mansion is to be destroyed, it will be destroyed in the hands of her and Jia Lian. Xifeng thought about it seriously again, if Rongguofu really fell into the hands of her and Jia Lian, there should be a better chance of a makeover. When I think about it, I feel relieved. Xifeng was even more determined to rectify the big house first. The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and Rongguofu has to be steady and steady step by step to grasp it in his hand.

After returning to Rongfu, Xifeng was as usual for the first few days, and she was very kind to her subordinates, and everyone in the big house liked her more and more, and they all praised her for her delicate and considerate subordinates. Even Mrs. Xing couldn't help but persuade her to be strict with her subordinates, otherwise these people would not be good at errands. Xifeng responded with a smile, but turned his face like that, and he didn't repent.

Li Kun and Mrs. Wang both watched Xifeng's jokes, a grandmother in charge was about to be climbed to the head by a slave, what else did she care? Madame Wang also seemed to have seen the dawn that Rongguo Mansion was about to return to her hands, and she was more and more happy. The old lady couldn't help but be a little angry, she promoted Xifeng to be the housekeeper grandmother, naturally Xifeng was a good housekeeper, how could she be so indulgent? Turning a blind eye to everything? How can this work? Mrs. Jia can't hold it back, if Xifeng continues like this, she really can't help but withdraw Xifeng's stewardship, even if Xifeng is the prince's palm. In the past, when Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, although some people were disobedient, at least they would not be too unruly, but now they are good, and they all have to go to heaven. Even if the Jia family has always been lenient to their subordinates, they can't be so lenient.

The companion rooms brought by Xifeng are all very kind, especially like to chat with everyone, and love to invite everyone to eat snacks and drink tea, and usually spend money on everyone. Therefore, these companions came with Xifeng in less than half a month, and they became so familiar with the people of Jiafu that they couldn't be more familiar. Except for the second daughter-in-law of Tang and the other two young daughters-in-law, no one else has any errands. I only joke with everyone every day. After not being arranged by Xifeng on an errand for so long, Xifeng's roommates seemed to be a little anxious, and they were more attentive to the stewards of the big house, hoping to arrange an errand for them.

A few people in charge of the big house are now more and more carefree, Xifeng doesn't talk about them when they are late for half an hour every day, and Xifeng doesn't care about them when they eat wine and gamble, they really get free. Especially Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Fei, they also took the initiative to arrange for several of Xifeng's mothers-in-law to go on errands.

Jia Lian didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when she returned home one day, she heard the two little guys in the second room talking about Li Kun and Xifeng, saying that Xifeng people were more amiable than Li Kun, and how to enjoy happiness when she was on an errand, Jia Lian was interested. asked Zhao'er to inquire, and Jia Lian directly changed her face. Xifeng, the housekeeper grandmother, actually became the shopkeeper.

But Jia Lian felt that Xifeng should not be the master of this kind of connivance with his subordinates, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay put, and see what Xifeng wanted to do for the time being. If there is another ten days and half a month, Xifeng is still like this, then he has to talk about Xifeng.

Fortunately, Xifeng didn't let Jia Lian wait too long. On October 20, Xifeng suddenly got up early in the morning and asked Qing'er Cui'er to paint her a makeup with long eyebrows and sideburns, which startled Jia Lian. Because Xifeng has been married for more than 20 days, she has always shown off her makeup. Today, I suddenly painted a heavy makeup, which makes people feel unique. Just looking at this face, it looks like a very powerful housekeeper grandmother, a very strict kind. Jia Lian knew that Xifeng was going to have a seizure today.
