Chapter 262: The Power of the Xue Mansion's Steward
Xue Qianxun sent his father-in-law and them to the door of the house, and after the Tang family got off one after another, Li asked: "Qing'er, Xun'er, you go into the house and rest for a while before leaving!" ”
Tang Qing'er shook her head and said, "I haven't been back to the mansion for several days, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the mansion." ”
Li nodded, since the last time he mentioned the matter of calling Xun'er's name in private with his daughter, he didn't expect his daughter to correct it, this time in Tangjia Village, Qing'er called Xun'er as a husband both in front of herself and in front of outsiders, which made her very happy.
Tang Qing'er said again: "Mother, there is nothing to do in the house for a few days, I will come to see you and my father at home." ”
"Yes," Li and Tang Tiezhu nodded in agreement.
Then, Sanshun shouted 'drive', shook the whip, and the horse continued to drive forward, and Qing'er in the carriage asked: "I haven't returned to the house for two days, can someone chew the root of the tongue in the house." ”
"Who dare?" Xue Qinxue said two words lightly.
Tang Qing'er pouted, the people of Xue Mansion have always been able to pierce the sky with big things, only he has never cared about these things, tunnel: "I hope it is as you say." ”
After returning home, Xue Qianxun did not take Qing'er to ask her grandmother for peace, but first went back to her yard with her and washed up again, during which Qing'er asked Zhu'er: "I am not here for a few days, what happened in the house." ”
Zhu'er said: "No, all the masters in the house are safe." ”
Qing'er nodded, and when Lu'er combed her hair, she said to Zhu'er: "You find me a set of plain clothes." "Because her grandfather has just passed away, although Tang Qing'er is a married daughter, she still pays a little attention to dressing, she can't be too flowery or too plain, after all, she is already the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, and her grandmother is not in good health now, if she is too plain, it is easy for people to chew her tongue behind her back.
Zhu'er took out a set of pale pink clothes from the cabinet and showed it to the young lady, Qing'er looked at it and nodded and said okay, Zhu'er waited for her to put it on, at this time Xue Qianxun also cleaned up, seeing that she was dressed very indifferently, nodded and said, "Let's go to grandmother!" ”
Tang Qing'er nodded, walked to his side and went with him to Old Lady Xue's courtyard.
When they arrived at Mrs. Xue's house, they saw that the Shen family was also there, and after the two of them asked Mrs. Xue for peace, they asked for peace for the Shen family.
Tang Qing'er entered the house, Shen couldn't find anything wrong with her dress, and couldn't help but nod at her, she was worried that this child was young, and she couldn't think of such a thoughtful thing in this regard, so she didn't think that she underestimated her.
I haven't seen her for two days, Mrs. Xue's face is still a little pale, Tang Qing'er hurriedly approached, took Mrs. Xue's hand and said, "Grandma, I'm not here for two days, can you miss me?" ”
Old Lady Xue said with a smile on her face: "I think about it!" ”
Tang Qing'er hurriedly put her face on the crook of Old Lady Xue's arm and said, "I know that grandma feels sorry for me." ”
"I heard your mother talk about your grandfather, alas! Grandma is old, if there is nothing wrong with her body, she will also go to Tangjia Village to support you in the scene. Old Lady Xue touched Qing'er's head and said.
"Grandma, nothing is more important than your body." Compared with grandpa and Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue treats her better and values her more.
"You baby is sweet-mouthed." Old Lady Xue was coaxed by Tang Qing'er so that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Shen watched from the side and quipped: "Mother, seeing that you are so close to Qing'er, my heart is sour." ”
"Mother, in fact, I have always been your intimate little padded jacket." In addition to planting crops, settling accounts, and turning her brain quickly, Tang Qing'er also has the sweetest mouth.
Shen Shi said again: "It just so happens that you and Xun'er are coming over today, I have something I want to discuss with you?" ”
"What's the matter? Mother. ”
"Your second aunt has now handed over the stewardship to me, but you see that your grandma is not in good health, and I have to take care of her, so I don't have extra time to take care of the housekeeper, and I want to hand over this stewardship to you, can you?" Shen Shi looked at Qing'er and said slowly.
Tang Qing'er was indeed a little surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but look back at Xue Qianxun, seeing that he was expressionless and didn't speak, she gave him a look in a hurry, but he turned a blind eye.
Seeing that Qing'er hadn't answered, Shen asked again: "Okay?" ”
"Mother, I just got married for more than two months and took care of the house, I'm afraid the people in the house can't be convinced!" Tang Qing'er didn't want to take care of the trivial things in the house, either there were no materials in the kitchen, or there were troubles such as food and clothing for everyone in the house.
Shen smiled and said: "It turns out that you are worried about this, don't be afraid, whoever dares to disagree, let's send him out." ”
Old Madam Xue echoed on the side: "Sooner or later, you have to be in charge of the internal affairs of this mansion, so it's better to get familiar with it earlier." ”
"But this ......," Tang Qing'er stumbled.
"Since grandma and mother have agreed to let you take care of the house, you can do it!" Xue Qianxun said lightly, he could be regarded as having made up his mind for Qing'er.
"Alright! You all say so, then I will take over the housekeeper's errand," Tang Qing'er couldn't object, so she could only accept it, but she was still a little worried that she couldn't do it well, and said: "Mother, if your daughter-in-law doesn't do well, you must tell me, you have to treat me as a daughter, if you make a mistake, you have to point it out immediately, and I can correct it in time." ”
Shen patted her hand and said, "You are smart, my mother believes that you can manage the house in an orderly manner." ”
Tang Qing'er smiled shyly, and turned her head to glare at Xue Qianxun while Shen was talking to Old Lady Xue.
On the way back, Tang Qing'er was obviously a little angry, and she didn't talk to Xue Qianxun, she just lowered her head and kept moving forward, and finally Xue Qianxun stepped forward and grabbed her and said, "Angry?" ”
"What do you say? It's not that you don't know that I don't care about the affairs of the house, and you still let me come out. Tang Qing'er said in a foul tone.
"You also see the current situation in the house, grandma is sick and needs to be taken care of by her mother, and the second aunt doesn't even come out of the yard now, is it possible that the huge Xue Mansion is in charge of a concubine, and it's not a joke to say it." Xue Qianxun said to Qing'er in a calm tone.
Tang Qing'er: "......"
"You have to be in charge of the house's internal affairs sooner or later, now while the house is a little chaotic, the hostess has been changed twice in a row, and the people are a little lazy, while you come out now, you can rectify the house and cultivate some of your own people."
Tang Qing'er said entangledly: "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to manage these people in the house, or it's a little troublesome, it's better to save effort in farming, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and save more trouble." ”
Xue Qianxun shook his head and said, "I know your plans, and I also know your brain, so don't worry about it." ”
"Well," he replied, but his mood was still sullen.
Xue Qianxun said: "Do you need my help?" ”
Tang Qing'er shook her head and said, "No, if I make up my mind to do one thing, I will do it well,"
Xue Qianxun said lightly: "En." He did know Qing'er's temperament, and no matter what she had figured out over the years, she had to make it come to life.
Tang Qing'er said again: "Alas, if you are a housekeeper, won't you have no free time to go back to your parents' house in the future." ”
"Not necessarily, if you had rectified the atmosphere in the house earlier, it would have been easier for you to go back to your mother-in-law." Xue Qianxun is the best at persuasion.
Tang Qing'er thought about the cause and effect, and said slowly: "That's right!" If there is nothing to do in the house, she can often go back to her mother's house, saying that as he said, arrange her own people everywhere in the house, even if she leaves the house, there will be no trouble.
Xue Qianxun smiled faintly, took her hand and said, "You want to understand, then let's go back quickly!" ”
"Yes." Tang Qing'er figured this out, and the expression on her face softened a little.
In the past two days, they have been busy in Tangjia Village, and after the two returned to the house, they took off their clothes and went to bed.
On the second day, Tang Qing'er and Xue Qianxun went to her grandmother's for breakfast, and after she came out, she said to Xue Qianxun: "If you want to manage the house, do you have to communicate with Steward Xue." ”
Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Steward Xue is an old fritter, you will be a housekeeper in the future, and you will have to leave him two points of thin noodles when doing things." ”
Tang Qing'er knew that this guy was ordering her, and Steward Xue's words in the mansion still had some weight, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll go and meet Steward Xue!" ”
"It's fine." Xue Qianxun nodded.
Tang Qing'er sent him to the gate of the courtyard and said, "You come back early in the afternoon," there are still some things in the house that you still have to ask him.
"Okay, you go back to the house!" Xue Qianxun's face softened.
Tang Qing'er watched Xue Qianxun's figure disappear at the gate of the courtyard before entering the courtyard, and said to Zhu'er Lu'er behind her: "Let's not go back to the courtyard to the main hall." ”
"Yes." The two replied in a low voice, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle the young lady was playing.
Tang Qing'er entered the main hall, made it to the main seat, and called Lu'er to step forward and said, "You go and call Steward Xue." ”
Lu'er nodded, turned around and trotted to find Steward Xue.
After a while, Lu'er and Steward Xue went to the main hall, and Steward Xue saluted Tang Qing'er and said, "Hello young lady, I don't know what happened to the young lady calling the slaves?" ”
Tang Qing'er accepted Steward Xue's salute with a smile, and then smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to talk to Steward Xue." After a pause, he said, "Steward Xue should sit and talk to me!" ”
Steward Xue has many eyes and ears in the house, and he has already known from elsewhere that the house is going to change again, and the young lady will be the master of the house in the future, Steward Xue still doesn't know the young lady's temperament, and only knows that she is very smart when he contacts her a few times, and now she is talking to herself so seriously, he unconsciously sweated a little in his palms, and said carefully: "The slave doesn't dare, let's stand and talk to you!" ”
Tang Qing'er already knew the weight of Steward Xue in the mansion from Xue Qianxun's mouth, but she still felt that it was better for some people to beat him, if he felt that he valued him very much, he would not take himself seriously, and said: "Since Steward Xue said so, I will not be strong." ”
"What did the young lady say?" Steward Xue didn't know what the young lady was having.
Tang Qing'er got straight to the point and said: "In the future, I will be in charge of this mansion,"
Steward Xue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bent down and said, "Congratulations to the young lady." ”
Tang Qing'er smiled and waved her hand: "What I said is a bit hypocritical, but it is true, in fact, I don't care much about housekeeping, but my mother-in-law takes care of my grandmother and has no time to take care of the house, and the second aunt is closed, so this burden falls on my shoulders." Butler Xue, who raised his eyes and looked at his body slightly bent downward, said: "So I came to you today, just to let you tell me, how many people are in the house, and what are they responsible for?" ”
Steward Xue said with a smile: "Young lady, you have found the right person, the old slave has been in the inner mansion for so many years, and the old slave knows everything in the mansion clearly." After speaking, he felt that his words were a little too much, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, if the young lady asked something else, how could he answer at that time, the young master married the young lady as his wife, it doesn't mean that the young lady's intelligence is no longer under the young master, and his little careful thinking will be seen through by the young lady sooner or later.
In fact, Steward Xue thought a lot, Tang Qing'er has lived in Tangjia Village since he was a child, where did he know the bends of the inner mansion of a big family, and calling him to come is just to town him.
