Situ Yan returned to the capital Situ Mansion, rested for one night after eating and drinking, and thought about it for more than half the night, and finally had a plan in her heart, and her physical fatigue was also reduced.

Early the next morning, as soon as there was movement here, she saw Mama Li leading Ru'er and Lian'er to walk in with hot water, "How did the eldest lady rest last night?" ”

"Okay, Ru'er, don't close the door first, let the snow wolf go out!" Since entering Situ Mansion, the snow wolf has been detained by Situ Yan's side, and he has long been impatient.

Situ Yan didn't want to detain her most important partner in this house, but she just entered Situ Mansion yesterday, and the snow wolf looked too much like a wolf, in order not to scare the people in the mansion, she didn't let it out at night, and it was already bright at this time, even if the people in the house saw it, at least they wouldn't be scared to death, anyway, compared with the snow wolf, Situ Yan valued this speechless comrade-in-arms more.

Seeing that the snow wolf ran away happily, the two maids were no longer afraid, and the words became more, "Miss, this dog slave you raised looks more fierce than the wolf, is it strange and scary?" ”

Mama Li glared at Ru'er, who spoke, "It's not big or small, the eldest lady's business, how can you be a girl with a lot of mouth!" Don't kneel down yet, make amends to the eldest lady! ”

"It's okay, it's okay! There are not so many rules here, and Mama Li doesn't have to detain them, I think Ru'er and Lian'er are not too young, there is no housewife in charge of affairs in this house, and the maids have to worry about the marriage! "What are these subordinates thinking, she has already seen it clearly, inquired clearly, and this is what it is said to the two of them.

"Miss, it's hard for you! Let a young lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet help the girls to discuss these things! It's all to blame for the old slave's thoughtlessness! Mama Li was dedicated to her young lady, and before the words fell, tears flowed down.

Situ Yan was the most unbearable to cry, and hurriedly pulled Mama Li's sleeve, "Mama, don't be sad, what do I call it, at most, I can move my mouth, and it is you who suffers!" Afraid that this Mama Li would be entangled in this matter again, Situ Yan hurriedly got up and went to wash. This interruption will be temporarily revealed.

Seeing that Mama Li didn't mention it again, Situ Yan chatted with her while drinking tea, and heard Wu Guo's voice coming in from the door.

"Slave Wu Guo, please say hello to the eldest lady!"

"Come in!"

"Yes!" Wu Guo lowered his head and entered the east wing, but he only stood by the door and didn't dare to go inside.

"Miss, are you going to use this breakfast in the house, or are you going to the main room?"

"You don't have to move around, it's troublesome, just eat here, you don't have to wait here, go eat something first, and then go out with me to run errands!"

"Yes!" After getting the order, Wu Guo bowed down and retreated, Mama Li wanted to persuade Situ Yan not to go out, but she also knew that only this eldest lady in the house could take charge of things, so she moved her mouth, so she didn't stop it.

After breakfast, Situ Yan went to find Wu Guo, originally Mama Li still wanted Ru'er and Lian'er to follow, but Situ Yan refused, and she had to obey orders.

Situ Yan got up early, and when she and Wu Guo went out, the three cousin young masters got up, and just about to come to Situ Yan to persuade her not to save Wu Jin, they knew that they had already left the house early in the morning. Situ Li didn't care, but the other two were so angry that they didn't even eat breakfast and went out of the house to find someone.

After Situ Yan went out, she first went to find a tooth shop and inquired about the situation of the shops in the capital, the shops in Luoyang City were more than twice as expensive as the ordinary county seats. A shop with a backyard at the door will cost 300-500 taels depending on the location. Situ Yan looked at more than a dozen in a row, and only at noon did she order five, which were in the inn street, dim sum street, medicine store, head and face ornament store and grain store. Because the location is on the busy road, the cheapest is also 400 taels. Five shops cost a total of 2,400 taels.

He also transferred the two shops and the courtyard left by Wu Jin, and spent another 200 taels with tax money for the procedures.

It saved Situ Yan a lot of effort.

"Qin Yayu, you have to worry more about renting a shop in the future! I don't often go to the house, if you have something, you just have to find the Wu manager in my house, and everything in the shop is decided by him! ”

"Yes, the little one has done it for you, you just have to rest assured. Please also ask Steward Wu to help me in the future! ”

"Qin Yayu is polite! I'm just a slave in Situ's mansion, and I'm just helping my master run errands, or are you Qin Yayu helping me more in the future and renting this shop at a good price? The two exchanged pleasantries, and the matter was finished. Situ Yan saw that although Wu Guo was still young, he was old in his work and had a flexible mind, and he was really a good material for being a housekeeper. I can finally let go of this heart.

On the way back to the house, Wu Guo was very happy in his heart, the eldest lady could be used for him so much, and in the future, except for Mr. Li, Situ Mansion would be the most visible to him.

Back at Situ Mansion, before anyone sat down, Situ Chenming and Situ Chenxi came to find him, they searched for more than an hour on the street and didn't see anyone, so they rushed back to the house and waited in fear, I heard that Situ Yan was back, where could the two of them still sit still, and they rushed over from the outer courtyard with a bump, "Cousin, you ran out early this morning?" Let's make it easy for our brother to find! In the future, if there is anything in the house that needs us, don't be polite to us! ”

The words of these two people are very beautiful, but the calculation in their eyes is difficult to hide, how could Situ Yan be deceived by them, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been back to Beijing for a few days, just take a walk and take a look!" Me! It's just a life to worry about, but it's not as easy as my cousins, but it seems that my cousin is busy? Since these two people don't want to stop, she doesn't plan to save face for these two people.

"Cousin is joking, joking!" Where would Situ Chenming think that the little cousin who looked weak and weak was so clever in her mouth, sitting awkwardly on the side and not knowing what to say for a while.

Situ Chenxi saw that the eldest brother was blocked by his cousin and couldn't speak, so he hurriedly put down the teacup and straightened his body, "Cousin, you have been absent from the house for so long, the eldest brother has been helping to take care of the big and small affairs in this house, and now that you are back, our brother doesn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, but in this outer courtyard, someone has to help take care of Zhang Luo, and it also saves you a boudoir daughter, and you have to show up outside all day long, and you lose your dignity!" ”

"The second cousin has a heart, when the brother is here, the outer courtyard is taken care of by Mr. Li, and the inner courtyard is taken care of by Cui Ping, but it is also in order, and now the three of them are not here, and the affairs of the outer courtyard have been handed over to Steward Wu to take care of, and the affairs of the inner courtyard are naturally taken care of by Mama Li, but I dare not have the two cousins to suffer!" Situ Yan's words were to tell the two of them that Wu Jin didn't need them when he was there, and now that Wu Jin is gone, they are still not needed here. It's better for them to eat obediently and cause less trouble.

"Wherever this is said, it's all family, cousin and we don't need to be polite!" Situ Chenxi also touched a nail, glanced at Situ Chenming, both of them couldn't sit still, this cousin is more beneficial than the eldest cousin, he only entered the house last night, and it is not noon today, and all the people in the inner and outer courtyards have been carefully arranged. Directly put them in the air.

"Cousin, although this place is purchased by the eldest cousin, and the dowry available is also my aunt's dowry, how can our brother have a meal here, there is no need to be busy in this house, and the shop always has to collect rent, right?" The two of them were anxious, and they said it a little bluntly, and they also wanted to tell Situ Yan that all this depended on the dowry of Situ Mansion back then, so they, the people of Situ Mansion, also had a share.

"Cousin is polite, you are a guest in my house, why do you come to have a casual meal, and if there is a matter of the shop, I have already handed it over to Steward Wu. As for the dowry of the late mother, it is taken care of by our brothers and sisters, and we don't have to worry about my cousin! ”

"Cousin's words, I can't understand what I'm a cousin in? Isn't this mansion the big cousin's? How did it become yours? When the two of them heard Situ Yan's words, they were completely panicked, and they rushed out without thinking about the words.

"So my cousins don't know yet? My brother felt sorry for me when I left home at a young age, and I had already left this yard and shop to me as a dowry, and I had already gone to the dental store early this morning to handle the transfer, and now this mansion and shop are already mine! ”

"How can you do that? This is the eldest cousin's thing, it is our Situ family, why should it be left to you? ”

"Right? Why do you, a girl surnamed Wu, occupy the things of our Situ family? The two of them were so excited by Situ Yan's words that they couldn't sit still, and they pointed at Situ Yan's nose and rushed up, so frightened that Mama Li and Wu Guo, who were guarding the side, trembled a little.

Situ Yan was like someone who was fine, holding the teacup and taking a sip, "What's wrong with the two cousins?" Why are you so excited, or do you intend to pretend to be humble and benevolent anymore? If this wolf is clothed in human skin, it will eventually show its feet! I'll let you understand it today, don't think that my brother is not here, just think that my little girl is easy to bully! ”

Situ Yan put her household book in front of the two of them, "First of all, when I left the Wu Mansion, I no longer had my surname Wu, but changed my surname to Situ with my mother's surname. Second, as you have said, this is my mother's dowry, and I, the only daughter, should receive it. What's more, this is said by the elder brother himself, and there is a letter from Manager Li as a basis. Third, you are still slaves, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about this, I advise you to go back and read the book, and be a rice worm, otherwise, I don't mind selling you again! ”

"You, Situ Yan, count yourself ruthless!" The two were so angry that Situ Yan had nothing to say, blushed, waved their sleeves and left.

Wu Guo has been watching from the side with his heart, since he beat Manager Li and left, these two people have regarded themselves as the masters of this mansion, and they always shout at them when they are fine, and they always ask him for money in a different way. Not to mention the fact that the two young masters in the house made a fuss, and the money was not lost. Now that the eldest lady is back in charge, he can't be happier in his heart. Now it's okay, there is the eldest lady to support him, see what these two people dare to do.

"Wu Guo, go and call all the slaves in the house to come to the main house, I have something to say!" Situ Yan will not leave room for these two people, since she has beaten the snake and hit seven inches, she will completely break the thoughts of these two people.

"Yes!" After more than two quarters of an hour, the mother-in-law and maids who went up to the steward and down to sweep the floor and cook all gathered at the door of the main house.

"These days, the eldest young master has been killed, and I will be in charge of this house from now on. I think you've all heard about it, I'm the eldest young master's sister-in-law, and the deeds of sale of everyone in this mansion are now in my hands, and in the future, Steward Wu will be in charge of all the matters in the outer courtyard, and the big and small things in the inner courtyard will bother Mama Li. I have re-established the rules of the government today, and you must abide by them. Mama Li is the first breastfeeding mother, 2 taels per month; Steward Wu is in charge of the outer courtyard, and the monthly case is 1 and a half; Ru'er and other four big girls, 1 tael per month, the regular dishes are regulated by 50 Wen every day, one porridge and one bun for breakfast, two vegetarian dishes and one meat for lunch and dinner, and two sets of muslin clothes for four seasons; Everyone else is 500 Wen, and the regular dishes are regulated by 30 Wen every day, with a porridge and a bun for breakfast, a vegetarian dish and a meat dish for lunch and dinner, and a set of cheesecloth clothes for the four seasons. If there is a wedding or funeral, each person will get 5 taels of silver, you can do things in the house with peace of mind, and when the eldest young master returns to the house, anyone who does things with peace of mind will be rewarded with ten taels of silver per person. Of course, there will be a reward and a punishment, and I will hand it over to Steward Wu after the government rules are set, and you can ask yourself, I will leave in a few days. Steward Wu, the young master of the future cousin, 3 taels per month, the regular dishes are 100 Wen per day, breakfast is one porridge, two buns and three side dishes, lunch and dinner are two vegetarian, two meat and one soup, and two sets of silk and satin clothes in the four seasons; Two cousin young masters, 2 taels per month, regular dishes are based on the regulation of 80 Wen every day, breakfast is one porridge, two buns and two side dishes, lunch and dinner are two vegetarians, one meat and one soup, and one set of four seasons silk and satin clothes; Since the government provides a degree of food and clothing, let them figure it out by themselves! Situ Yan's words shocked the servants in the courtyard to look at her with wide eyes, and even Wu Guo and Mama Li didn't react for a long time.

"Yes, the minions have all written it down!" Hearing Situ Yan call him, Wu Guo took his heart away, it was only overnight, the eldest lady had already thought about it so much, this has the government rules, the government system, and no one will talk nonsense in the future. And although Situ Yan's voice was not very loud, it was full of seriousness that was not angry and arrogant, so frightened that the servants in the yard didn't even dare to breathe.

Situ Li stood from afar and watched, he thought it was better, he had long been unhappy with the practices of the two cousins, but they were all sent under the fence, and he was not easy to interfere with, now that his cousin can arrange the affairs of the house, he can also study with peace of mind, after Wu Jin returned to Beijing, he hid a lot of books in the study. Compared with his two calculating brothers, he prefers to nest in the study with books.

And behind Situ Chenming and Situ Chenxi, who were so angry that their noses were crooked, they thought that their cousin was a good one, as long as the two of them coaxed each other, it was not the two of them who had the final say, but they didn't expect this cousin to be more decisive than the eldest cousin, and he didn't even drill the two of them at all.

Situ Yan just wants to let these two people understand that since they want to eat her family's food, they have to listen to her obediently and abide by the rules of this house, she doesn't want people to be tricks, and it is impossible for anyone to take advantage of her.

After lunch, the house rules that were ordered for the four brothers of the Li family were revised and modified into the temporary rules of this Situ Mansion, and the things on her side were almost done, and it was time to start the day. (To be continued.) )
