Chapter 65: Taking Charge of the Family
Han beckoned to Mama Lin, asked her to lean down, and whispered a few words in her ear, and Han's few whispers made Mama Lin, who was originally calm, overjoyed.
Mama Lin turned around and muttered a few words to Mother Li, and when she saw Mother Li nodding in approval, she hurriedly instructed Hongmei and Hongshan to change Han's clothes.
"Mother is going to go out to deal with those slaves in person?" Although Situ Jiao couldn't figure out Han's plan, when she saw Yahuan changing Han's clothes, she also understood a little in her heart, and couldn't help frowning, obviously she didn't approve of Han's coming forward now.
"Well, it's also time for my mother to take back the stewardship of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion." Han gently rubbed Situ Jiao's frowning brow, and his tone was very decisive.
"My mother is the wife of the Hou Mansion, and it is a matter of course to take care of the inner courtyard for my father, but according to Jiaojiao, my mother should not rush to take over this stall today." Situ Jiao put her little hand on the back of Han's hand and said a little timidly.
"Oh, what do you think about Jiaojiao?" Han Shi was not in a hurry now, anyway, even if she went out to the council immediately at this hour, it would have been delayed a little, so she simply sat down again.
"Jiaojiao, can you ask a question first?" Situ Jiao leaned into Han's arms, looked up at Han and asked.
"Naturally, as long as my mother knows, I will tell the truth." The Han family now has children and daughters, and owes Situ Jiao so many years, as long as Situ Jiao wants to know, even if it is difficult to speak, she will tell them one by one.
"Can my mother manage the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion?" Situ Jiao looked at Han Shi and asked cautiously.
Situ Jiao actually knew this question, but she was afraid of touching the sore spot in Han's heart, so she asked it carefully.
Situ Jiao knew that not long after the Han family gave birth to Situ Yang, the old lady had an illness, and at that time, the old marquis was the master and handed over the power of the inner courtyard to the Han family, who was still the wife of the prince at that time.
Although the Han family was still young at that time, who of the ladies of this era had not studied the director of the family at home with an adult?
Therefore, not long after the power of the family was handed over to the Han family, the Han family managed the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, even more reasonably than the old lady.
After the old lady recovered from her illness. He tried to take back the stewardship from the Han family many times, and also gave the Han family all kinds of stumbling blocks from many aspects, but the results were resolved by the Han family one by one.
It's a pity that four years after the housekeeper, Han's was sick because of the re-production. The power of the family fell again, and the old lady effortlessly regained the power of the family firmly in the palm of her hand.
In fact, at that time, the Han family had resentment against the old lady in his heart, anger towards Situ Kong, and even more shame towards Situ Jiao. As a result, she lingers on the sickbed all day long, so even if the old lady directly hands over the power of the family to her, I am afraid that she will have more than enough heart and not enough strength.
When the Xiaolin family entered the door and gave birth to Situ Jin, the old lady ignored the unwritten rule of the wife in charge of the family, which was valued by the family, and handed over the power of the family to the Xiaolin family.
Externally, it is natural that the old lady pities the frailty of the Han family, and she is in charge of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and the Xiaolin family is just helping the old lady to take care of some things, but in fact, it is the Xiaolin family who controls the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and it will be ten years after that.
"Madame, of course, has been in charge, and has been in charge for almost four years. It's just that in the past ten years, Aunt Lin has been housekeeping. Mama Lin seemed to understand the reason why Situ Jiao asked these words. Seeing that Han was a little wandering, he hurriedly replied.
"Then Mama Lin may tell Jiaojiao, why did the housekeeping power go into the hands of an aunt?" Situ Jiao's tone was a little harsh.
"Look at the old slave's stupid mouth, it's not that he said the wrong thing. It was because the lady was not in good health, and the old lady was sympathetic to the lady, so she came out to take charge of the family council, and the eldest aunt just helped the old lady to serve the council. Mama Lin's face fluttered, and she immediately understood the intention of Situ Jiao's words.
Although it is true that the Hou Mansion is in charge of the inner courtyard, the Hou Mansion does not explicitly admit this matter, and only says that the Xiao Lin family is helping the old lady to be the director.
Although Situ Jiao didn't think about letting the Han family regain power so quickly. After all, Han's body is not enough to be in charge of the family, and she has just returned to the house, which can be said to be a smear to the Hou Mansion.
But since the Xiaolin clan and the old lady took Qiao, they wanted to blackmail Situ Kong with this. Let Situ Kong lift the Kobayashi clan's grounding order, that is absolutely impossible.
It is true that Han's body is not strong, and it is also true that she Situ Jiao does not know about the Hou Mansion, but Han's has Mama Lin by her side, and she has a capable Mother Li by her side. Situ Jiao didn't believe it, the two of them couldn't take charge of the Hou Mansion's home together?
Let them take Joe. Then let them regret it
"Oh, I see, I really thought that our Hou Mansion was Aunt Lin's concubine and the director of the family, but Jiaojiao still has something unclear, like this situation, as the old lady in charge of the family, she is not in good health and can no longer be in charge of the family, so how should this family power be handled?" Situ Jiao asked with a confused expression.
Mama Lin and Mama Li looked at each other and smiled, they both fully understood what Situ Jiao was thinking.
Mama Lin was even more overjoyed, if Situ Jiao was willing to make a move, then it would be impossible for this family power to fall into the hands of the Xiaolin family, wouldn't it just meet the wishes of the Hou Ye?
Last night, Mama Lin returned to her and Steward Lin's home in the back alley of the Hou Mansion, and Steward Lin brought what Situ Kong said to Mama Lin one by one, although it was a little different from the current situation, but it was much the same, and now Miss is willing to come out to give Mrs. a hand, isn't it more justifiable.
"Naturally, I can only work hard for Mrs., I can't really let an aunt and housekeeper be pointed at by others and talk nonsense." This time, Hong Shan, who had been standing on the side and listening quietly, opened her mouth, she had long seen that Xiaolin's was not pleasing to her eyes.
"But Madame's body is only now beginning to improve, and it is not an easy task to be in charge of the family director." Hongmei looked at Han, whose face was still pale and her lips were pale and pale, and she was a little worried.
"Isn't there still a young lady, Miss is already over twelve years old, and it is time to learn to be in charge of the family, even if our young lady is not a sect wife in the future, she will also be the wife in charge of the first room." Li's mother finally found an opportunity to speak out.
Although Situ Jiao's face was a little hot, a thin blush spread on her face under Li's mother's smiling eyes, but secretly she couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Li's mother.
What she wants is not this result, a way to return the power of the family to the Han family, but not let the Han family work too hard.
"Yes, yes, why did you forget Miss, the slave should really beat our Miss, and she has reached the age when she arrives, and she should get married when she arrives, isn't it the time to learn how to be in charge of the family?" At this time, not only Hongmei and Hongshan felt that it made perfect sense, but even the Han family nodded again and again. To be continued
