Chapter Seventy-Six: Yao Xuan Manages Martial Affairs Goodbye Cui Zhanmian
They still don't dare to perfunctory the master's house, but it's true that the servants and maids don't have much energy, or they can't get the right instructions, so they all have the meaning of following the crowd. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yao Xuan tilted her head and looked at her cousin who was unaware, and really felt that he should have married a daughter-in-law earlier.
Wu Erlang also felt a little awkward at this time, although the things were the best, but he didn't look at it very pleasing to the eye here, and it didn't seem to match there, but it really made him find fault, and he couldn't say why.
Wu Erlang has always been a diligent and hard-working son since he was a child, in order to win glory for his mother and deceased father, and the big and small affairs of the family are supported by his county lord mother, he never has to worry about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and naturally he doesn't know a lot of common sense in life.
And after his mother died, Wu Erlang began to live a life of filial piety, naturally everything was simple and simple, and the popularity of the border was far behind Chang'an City, and the domestic servants he brought were naturally limited.
So it is not surprising that Wufu is now a mix and match style that is not earthy and trendy.
Thinking about this, Yao Xuan, who was originally reluctant to meddle indiscriminately, changed his mind, the Son of Heaven is the most beautiful person who looks at his face and clothes, if Uncle Wutang is positioned as a 'lower riba person' when he first enters the official career, it will be difficult to improve the grade in the future.
Thinking that her uncle will not be able to get married in a short time, and the status quo with Lord Wu's family, Yao Xuan, as the closest relative, still decided to contribute.
Thinking of this, Yao Xuan waved her subordinates away, leaving only her younger brother Yao Zhi and Wu Erlang in the hall, and then she asked straight to the point: "After the housewarming banquet, did my uncle invite guests to the house?" The clothes and accessories that went out during this period were purchased when he was in the Hou Mansion, or were they added later? ”
Wu Erlang was asked by Yao Xuan for some reason, but he still replied after thinking about it carefully: "No, I haven't been at home recently, and the clothes and accessories were all purchased by my cousin at the beginning, Xuan'er didn't mention it, I forgot it, and Xia Yi hasn't instructed anyone to buy it." ”
After Wu Erlang finished speaking, he patted his forehead, he was always confused in family affairs, and the cronies he brought were all outsiders, and he didn't know the situation and trend in the capital, so he is now a typical owner who can't spend money.
Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that he lived in the Hou Mansion for a period of time after returning to Beijing, his sister and brother-in-law helped to purchase all the things in winter and spring, otherwise he would have scratched his head a long time ago.
Really......
Yao Xuan smiled sweetly and whispered to Wu Erlang: "Most of the people in Chang'an City respect Luo Yi first and then respect people, if my uncle doesn't dislike it, Xia Yi and the layout of the mansion will be handed over to Xuan'er first." ”
Wu Erlang also reacted to Yao Xuan's meaning at this time, and his handsome face couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of crimson, followed by a bright smile like relief, and there was no shame of being looked down upon: "Thank you so much Xuan'er, what my uncle is not good at is housekeeping, so you can help my uncle." ”
Wu Erlang knows Yao Xuan's ability, didn't she see that the dignified Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was well managed, not to mention the dozens of people in his small mansion.
"That being the case, then Xuan'er is welcome." Yao Xuan really didn't take this bit of personnel in the Wu Mansion seriously, especially most of Uncle Wutang's manpower was in the industry, and the rough envoys in the house were all newcomers who were bought later, and they could be replaced if they didn't obey, so Yao Xuan directly asked Wu Erlang for the roster of servants and maids in the house and the account book after entering Beijing.
And Wu Erlang knew that Yao Xuan was going to modify the current layout of his house, so he simply took the list of the outer treasury to Yao Xuan, and he comfortably started to be the shopkeeper......
When Cui Zhan returned to Wufu in the afternoon, as soon as he entered the door, he felt that there was something different.
After a closer look, Cui Zhan found that the porter had a new face, the older servant was deferential and humble, and the little doorman with him was also delicate and pleasing, which was much more pleasing to the eye than the original two tall and strong manservants.
Continuing to walk inside, Cui Zhan found that some of the arrangements along the way had changed, from changing the ornaments to moving the position of the flower pots.
And the biggest change is the expressions of the servants and maids, although they are busy at this time as if they have a lot of things to do, but one by one the spirit is sufficient, all of them are gone.
Cui Zhan thought about it for a while, and guessed that these were the handiwork of the county lord Yao who came to visit today, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of the smart little girl who 'held grudges' in his mind.
Subconsciously, Cui Zhan sped up his pace under the guidance of the servant and went to the door of the study between the east side of the main house of the guest house.
It just so happened that Wu Erlang could see the door from the place where he was sitting, and when he saw him coming, he called in directly, eliminating the servant's courtesy.
Yao Xuan had changed the two major items of personnel and item allocation in the house before, and now he was dealing with the matter of Xia Yi, and when he saw Cui Zhan coming in, he said goodbye in advance when he was making a move.
After inviting the young man to sit down again, Yao Xuan asked him directly: "I don't know if the summer clothes of Cui Gongzi's master and servant have been made?" Uncle is going to make a full set here, which are some of the shops that our family is used to, and they are all fashionable styles in Beijing, and Cui Gongzi can also customize them in one place if he needs them. ”
Yao Xuan's words were mostly polite, after all, as far as she knew, Cui Zhan was here in Wufu to set up his own accounts, that is to say, except for Wu Erlang, who lived in the house, Cui Zhan took care of everything else, so Yao Xuan meant to remind Cui Zhan to pay attention to the trend in Beijing, so as not to be looked down upon by others.
Unexpectedly, after thinking for a while, Cui Zhan actually agreed to customize with Wu Erlang, but Cui Zhan also emphasized that he would pay for all the expenses.
Speaking of which, Cui Zhan can't help it, although he has been famous since he was a child, and even when he entered Guozi School, his schoolwork is among the best, but he is not much stronger than Wu Erlang in terms of life skills.
Especially the popular atmosphere in the capital, Cui Zhan was still thinking about how to deal with it before, Yao Xuan's proposal saved him a lot of effort, so he responded cheekily.
Yao Xuan paused when she heard the pen of writing, but thinking that one sheep was also driven and two sheep were also herded, she smiled and **** a few details, such as Cui Zhan himself is going to make many sets of clothes, including a few sets of regular clothes, a few sets of clothes for going out, a few sets of clothes for formal banquets, etc., and then what is the standard of his servants.
Cui Zhan answered Yao Xuan's questions one by one, and the little girl's upright record and confident and calm appearance also made him smile and look at it a few more times.
But immediately, the figure of Prince Jinshun's son flashed in Cui Zhan's mind, and he thought that the little girl in front of him already had a marriage partner, so he lowered his eyes again to avoid suspicion.
