After walking outside for most of the day, dinner is those things on the snack street, from beginning to end, even if you only eat one bite, you can eat a round belly. It wasn't until the second watch that he went home. After a day of shopping, she was also very tired, and after washing, Jiao Wanwan almost fell asleep on the bed.

When I woke up the next day, there was no one around, and after asking Jin Mei, I learned that Zhao Defang had gone to the morning court. This is the first time Jiao Wanwan has eaten breakfast by herself after getting married, and she is a little too lonely.

After eating, I remembered that no one in this house had seen it yet, so I simply asked Jin Mei to get the roster. Cheng Fu was in charge of these things before, and the day after he got married, Cheng Fu sent all kinds of account books and the like.

The account book is relatively simple, in the past, Zhao Defang was in the palace, and he didn't have to pay for food and drink, so the account book only wrote what rewards he had received, what gifts he had received, and so on. A few days ago, the emperor gave the fiefdom, and the expenses and income in this mansion have not yet begun to be booked.

Then there is Jiao Wanwan's dowry booklet, large and small things, those that can be put are put first, and those that can't be put must be taken out and copied in another account book.

The Jiao family also gave the shop and the Zhuangzi, both of which are from the capital, and two of the shops are in a prosperous area, one is a bookstore and the other is a ready-to-wear shop. The remaining two are in more general locations, and they don't make a lot of money, but they don't lose money either. The two Zhuangzi, the annual harvest adds up to two or three hundred taels, which is very fertile.

Jiao Wanwan flipped through them casually, and put these booklets aside first. Then, on the roster, he began to recognize the people in the house. In this mansion, in addition to the four big maids, there are only two of them to marry, and the rest were prepared by Queen Song when Zhao Defang opened the mansion.

There were twelve people in the porter, four shifts, three people at a time. In addition, there are pantry rooms, sewing rooms, attendant rooms, purchasing houses, account rooms, warehouses, and patrol rooms. The patrol room is divided into inside and outside, the outer courtyard guards, and the inner courtyard mother-in-law.

Jiao Wanwan and the eldest lady have learned housekeeping, and first determined the personnel arrangement here, and there is no duplication or omission, so they will leave it alone for the time being. Compared with modern company management, this ancient inner courtyard management method is actually very mature.

The company is divided into various departments, the inner courtyard is divided into various responsibilities, the company has leaders above, there are employees below, there are housekeepers and aunts in the inner courtyard, and there are second- and third-class maids below. Compared with modern corporate management, the boundaries of the inner court are only slightly blurred.

What Jiao Wanwan has to do is to formulate a system of rules and regulations, and don't pay too much attention to the rest of the personnel transfers and the like.

After seeing everyone, Zhao Defang came out of the palace, and the expression on his face was a little wrong. Jiao Wanwan also hesitated for a moment, before she mustered up the courage to come to Zhao Defang's side and ask, "But what's the big deal in the court?" Look at you are a little unhappy, if you can say, why don't you talk to me? Maybe I can help you with an idea or something? ”

Zhao Defang glanced at her: "Today, I went to the fold and asked for it, and my father sent the fold back." ”

Jiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the matter of the domain, if she was about to become a domain, the personnel in this mansion would be transferred or something, so let's put it first, maybe when she could return to Beijing, as long as she left her henchmen and took care of the houses and warehouses in this mansion.

Seeing Zhao Defang's face, Jiao Wanwan reacted again, and hurriedly asked, "What did Daddy say?" ”

"It is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in another month, and I will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhao Defang was a little helpless, and motioned for Jiao Wanwan to sit down beside her: "I went to the palace to ask my mother, and my mother said that she didn't know about this matter in advance, since my father said that he was waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival, then wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over." ”

It's July now, and it's more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he wants to say it himself, it would be best if he didn't go to the domain, but he could stay in the capital, but he was afraid that the prince would have something in his heart. It's really a bit of a dilemma, Zhao Defang frowned slightly, leaned on the soft pillow, and looked a little puzzled: "I don't know what's going on, Daddy changed his mind." ”

"After the next dynasty, didn't Daddy ask you anything?" Zhao Defang didn't know the reason herself, and Jiao Wanwan naturally didn't know it. I didn't say anything about helping with ideas if I knew about it, but I couldn't make an idea at this time, shame on me, right?

"If you are afraid that the prince has any scruples in his heart, why don't we play more in the capital during this time?" After a pause, Jiao Wanwankai spoke, she has only visited one night market, and there are many that she has never been to, who knows when she will come back.

Zhao Defang didn't speak, Jiao Wanwan smiled again: "I think it's as fun as it is today, why don't you let someone make it, let's try it first?" If it's fun, let's open a toy shop back? ”

Zhao Defang was a little interested: "What's so fun?" ”

"It's also a kind of chess, this one is more casual, you can play with two people, and you can also play with four or five people." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly explained the various rules of checkers, and Zhao Defang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Isn't it similar to Ge Wu?" ”

Jiao Wanwan blinked, in this era, even checkers have a prototype? It's really shocking, she, a traverser, has only made a kaleidoscope so far, right? The rest are based on the original game.

"Grid five?" I haven't heard of this name, Jiao Wanwan showed some doubts, Zhao Defang explained with a smile: "It is also called Sai Opera or Fen Rong, I have to play with two people, each holding black and white chess, walking in the middle of the road, moving one step at a time, jumping when encountering the enemy, and going to the enemy territory first to win." ”

Jiao Wanwan laughed dryly, it was almost no different from checkers, at most, the board of checkers was big enough for five or six people to play together. Ancient people are much smarter than modern people, so don't show off yourself.

"You said checkers, go back and talk to Cheng Fu, let him find someone to do it, let's try it first." Zhao Defang is not good at dampening the enthusiasm of his own lady, and he is busy showing that he is looking forward to it: "If it's fun, go back and bring it to the palace, and call your father and mother, as well as the prince and the princess to play together." ”

"Okay, what do you want for lunch?" Jiao Wanwan hurriedly diverted the topic, Zhao Defang had something on her mind, so she said two dishes casually. Then she went to the study, Jiao Wanwan wanted to follow, but she also knew that it was not appropriate at this time.

As soon as they came, they were newly married, and the two of them only got along for a few days. It's not easy for me to get the promise to go to his study to find books, and now it's a bit annoying that he has business, and he can't help and has to make trouble.

But I was bored sitting there, so I simply got up and planned to go to the kitchen to see it myself. Yesterday at the night market, she saw a lot of food, there are many more types than modern ones, and the cooking methods are also very complete. Even the cold skin and rice skin that she thinks should not be available now have actually appeared in the night market, and in this food, except for Western food, she does not have the slightest advantage of modern people.

But Western food is too much of an advantage compared to Chinese food, and the tools used can't be made now, so Jiao Wanwan still hasn't had a chance to show herself.

"Princess." As soon as she entered the kitchen, everyone inside hurriedly got up and saluted, there were two mothers-in-law squatting at the door of the kitchen who were choosing vegetables, two little maids outside were washing vegetables, and there was also a mother-in-law cutting vegetables inside, and finally there were two eunuchs left, one was responsible for making soup and one was responsible for stir-frying, these two chefs came out of the palace, for the time being, Jiao Wanwan could not move at will.

"What to do?" After taking a look at the stove, Jiao Wanwan asked with a smile, the one in charge of making the soup was Gonggong Liu, and said with a smile: "The small one is stewed with sheep's head soup, what flavor does the princess like to eat?" Lighter, spicier, or slightly sour? ”

"Whatever flavor the prince likes, just do what the taste, didn't buy pork today?" Jiao Wanwan looked around and asked curiously, Gonggong Liu shook his head and smiled: "I didn't buy it today, if the princess wants to eat it, let people buy some tomorrow." ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded, after many months, she also figured out some dietary problems, when people like mutton more and eat less pork. It's in the palace, holding a banquet or something, and most of them are mutton-based, and the finale is grilled lamb chops. Therefore, if it is not specially ordered, most of the purchases are to buy mutton back.

Looking at the other stove, the fragrant fried fish, Jiao Wanwan took a deep breath, and her saliva almost flowed out.

"Where are the scones baked?"

"Ming'er is going to prepare some moon flowers or something, and I'll come over and bake some meatloaf myself."

"By the way, let's make some cold skin later, will this be done?" I thought of Liangpi just now, and now I suddenly want to eat it.

"The princess is talking about the cool skin in Shaanxi? This is really the right person, the small one really knows, a few years ago I learned with a cook from Shaanxi, good Lak, you and the prince will wait for a while, the small one will be done for you. ”

Gonggong Liu responded with a smile and immediately went to find flour. Jiao Wanwan walked around the kitchen twice, there was nothing that could help, everyone she would know, and people who wouldn't know would still do, standing here was too much of a hindrance, so let's get out quickly.

In addition, it's a bit too disturbing to go to the domain, what does the official mean by this? Is it really reluctant to give up his son, or is there something else to arrange? By the way, Zhao Kuangyin's throne was passed to Zhao Guangyi, so now, where is Zhao Guangyi? The nephew got married, and he never showed up as an uncle, isn't he in the capital?
