So, Ye Qinglan left Shunyi Hall very happily.

After that, Mrs. Zheng lightly counted a few words from her, basically not painful or itchy, and it was clearly just a show.

has been the daughter-in-law of the Sun family for so many years, and Mrs. Zheng is not less angry with her mother-in-law on weekdays. is hindered by the word filial piety, and she, as a daughter-in-law, has no part in talking back at all, which is basically a forbearance word. Ye Qinglan fought against the Sun family in front of her, and she couldn't say anything about Sun's anger, not to mention how happy she was.

Ye Qinglan is really supple and well-behaved in front of Mrs. Zheng, and never talks back. No matter what Mrs. Zheng said, she nodded obediently.

"In the future, if grandmother says anything more, you are not allowed to talk back." Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and added: "Even if she is unreasonable, you have to weigh it, don't really be angry with her." ”

Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing, and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Mrs. Zheng talked for a long time, and when she saw Ye Qinglan being well-behaved and obedient, she was very happy and satisfied. Although Ye Qinglan can speak well, she is docile and respectful to her mother-in-law.

Thinking so, Mrs. Zheng's tone became more and more softened: "It's been a few months since you passed the door, and you can help me with some housework." From tomorrow onwards, you will be able to follow me and learn to handle the daily affairs of the house. ”

Ye Qinglan was stunned, and said humbly: "My daughter-in-law is only shallow and stupid, but I'm afraid that I can't learn well!" ”

There was a smile in Mrs. Zheng's eyes: "Do you still need to say these polite words in front of me?" If you're stupid by nature, there aren't many smart people in the world. ”

The praise from her mother-in-law made Ye Qinglan's heart warm. knew that Mrs. Zheng really wanted to raise and train her to learn to be a housewife. also no longer shirked: "Then the daughter-in-law is respectful, it is better to obey her fate." ”

At this time, the head of the eunuch's mansion or the lord of the noble family is not something that everyone can do. You have to take care of all the trivial things in the house. He has to manage all the subordinates in the house, including things like marriage, as well as all kinds of personal contacts and so on. I know everything. The cumbersome process is probably as good as being the general manager of a small and medium-sized company.

Such a burden, of course, is not something that can be taken over casually. Generally speaking, the new daughter-in-law has to stay up for at least a few years, and only after giving birth to a son and gaining a firm foothold in the house will she have the opportunity to contact the affairs of the house. First follow the mother-in-law to learn for a while, and when the learning is done, the mother-in-law will mostly arrange some idle or inconsequential errands for the daughter-in-law to take care of, which is equivalent to the internship period. If you do it well, you can officially help take care of the housework.

When I didn't leave the cabinet. Xue had also taught her to read account books and the like, but Xue's focus was to toss her, and he didn't care about teaching anything at all. Taking a step back, even if the Xue family wants to teach, they don't necessarily have that vision and ability. After all, the Xue family has been married to Changyuan Bofu for so many years, and he has never taken care of the family. In the years I was in Zhengzhou, I was just a small family for a few years. Compared with the housewife of Mrs. Zheng's level. It's not a star.

Mrs. Zheng had the intention of cultivating her to be the director of the family, so she naturally couldn't hold back, so she simply responded generously.

Mrs. Zheng was very satisfied with her appearance, and casually ordered: "That is the case." After that day, I got up earlier, and many of the housekeepers and mothers came to Jingxinyuan to get the right cards. If you want to learn, you have to let all the housekeepers see it. ”

There were some words that Mrs. Zheng did not say. Ye Qinglan is young after all. Not long after passing the door, there were so many people in the house. I'm afraid that Ye Qinglan won't even recognize it. Now it's time to learn to be a director, at least to get to know all the stewards who have a face. Then slowly explore each person's temperament and work characteristics. With Mrs. Zheng pressing the formation, there is no need to worry about some tricky or slippery housekeepers and mothers secretly stumbling.

Smart people, of course, are a little bit thorough. Ye Qinglan was busy, and sincere gratitude appeared in her eyes: "Thank you, mother-in-law." The daughter-in-law will definitely study hard. ”

Madame Zheng nodded with a smile.

The next morning, as soon as she arrived, Ye Qinglan got up.

Gu Xinian was in a daze, only felt a chill in his arms, and then woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth and asked, "It's not dawn yet, why don't you sleep more?" ”

Ye Qinglan had already dressed neatly, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you last night?" From now on, I have to follow my mother-in-law to learn to take care of the trivial things in the house, and the housekeepers and mothers are all going to Jingxinyuan to get the right cards. Of course I had to get up early. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the maids into the house to serve him and freshen himself.

Without the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, Gu Xinian lost the interest of lying in bed, and also got up and dressed together. After cleaning up, the husband and wife went to Jingxin Garden together.

Mrs. Zheng was quite satisfied when she saw that she had come early. After having breakfast together, Gu Xinian went to the official office. Mrs. Zheng led Ye Qinglan to the east room of the weekday director. Mrs. Zheng sat down, and Ye Qinglan stood behind Mrs. Zheng. Then the mothers in charge came in one by one to say goodbye, and reported in short words what they had to do for the day.

Mrs. Zheng listened casually, occasionally asking a word or two, and as long as her brows furrowed slightly, the mother-in-charge immediately became nervous, and carefully explained the matter again. Mrs. Zheng listened, her brows furrowed, and the housekeeper's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Mrs. Zheng's face sank slightly, the housekeeper's mother would rack her brains to continue to explain.

Just listen to the past one by one, until all the cards are collected, about an hour later.

Then, another wave of housekeepers came in, this time dealing with personnel issues in the house. From the marriage of the little maid and the maid, to the next child who is sick and needs to recuperate, he has to allocate additional manpower, etc., all of them must be reported to Mrs. Zheng one by one.

By the time this is done, it's almost noon.

After lunch, after a short rest for an hour, Mrs. Zheng got up again to freshen up, and then sat down again in the east room. This time, we will look at the account books, and the accounts of the past month will be checked.

The income of how many shops and how many granges are in the name of the house is checked one by one, and then the expenses are settled. The expenses in each yard, the monthly money that all the subordinates have to pay, plus the expenses of human favors, etc. At this time, the bookkeeping method adopts a streamlined style, and although the record is clear, it is also very cumbersome. There were two books of accounts in a month. To liquidate it all, it is clear that one afternoon is not enough.

Although Ye Qinglan had learned to read the account book, she also felt dizzy after reading it for an afternoon. But Mrs. Zheng was only slightly tired, but her spirit was not bad, and she even joked to Ye Qinglan with a smile: "At the end of this day, do you feel very tired?" ”

Ye Qinglan was not reckless, and smiled calmly: "Yes, until today, I didn't know how difficult it is to be a good housewife, what I thought about before was too simple." ”

She said frankly and directly, but she won the favor of Mrs. Zheng, and said with a friendly smile: "This is just the beginning, and when I first come into contact with these, I feel that it is inevitable to be dazzled." In fact, it will be good to get used to it after a few days. After a pause, he said: "After I got married and gave birth to Xi Nian, let me take care of the house." Your grandmother didn't have much patience and didn't teach me much, and I really struggled at first. After about half a year, I gradually got used to it. You are smart and careful, and with me with you, it is estimated that in less than three months, you will be able to try to take care of some things. ”

Ye Qinglan's heart was warm, and she answered softly.

For the next few days, Ye Qinglan followed Mrs. Zheng. She has an excellent memory, and soon remembered all the housekeepers and mothers with heads and faces, and then silently observed everyone's personality, temper and way of acting. Those stewards are all old and sophisticated, shrewd and slick people, and they can naturally see the meaning of Mrs. Zheng's careful cultivation. In the face of Ye Qinglan, a young grandmother who has not been in the door for a long time, she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

After a long time, Gu Xinian's brothers and sisters began to be dissatisfied.

The first to be dissatisfied was Gu Xiyu, who said coquettishly in front of Mrs. Zheng: "Mother, sister-in-law is now following you every day to learn housekeeping, and she has no time to accompany me." I'm so bored all day by myself. Don't let your sister-in-law learn this, okay, let my sister-in-law spend more time with me! ”

Mrs. Zheng dotes on this daughter the most on weekdays, and she is almost obedient. But this time, he scolded with a straight face: "Yu'er, you are sixteen years old, and you are also a big girl." Why are you still so ignorant! Your sister-in-law will always have to take over this mess in the future, learn it early, and you will be able to get started faster in the future. It can also take care of some chores for me. It's good for you, you think about playing all day long, writing and painting for entertainment, and you never want to learn serious things. In the future, let's see what you will do when you marry into your husband's family! ”

Gu Xiyu was extremely aggrieved, but she didn't dare to talk back, hanging her head and playing with the corner of her clothes without saying a word.

After all, Mrs. Zheng was soft-hearted, and when she saw Gu Xiyu's appearance, she couldn't bear to be left behind, so she thought about it and said, "If you are bored alone, you will come to Jingxin Garden together in the future." Even if you don't understand some things, it's good to watch and listen more. ”

Gu Xiyu's little face suddenly wrinkled, and she looked pitiful: "However, I definitely can't understand or understand." Sister-in-law's eyes drifted over for help.

Ye Qinglan stepped forward without hesitation: "Sister Xiyu is not interested in these, so don't force her!" Anyway, even if she gets married, she won't be a housekeeper for a moment in the future. These things will be learned slowly in the future. ”

Gu Xiyu's chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice.

Mrs. Zheng looked angry, funny and helpless, so she had to let her go: "Forget it for the time being." When you have time in the future, you always have to learn along. (To be continued......)
