Speaking of housekeeping, it is not such an easy job, although Zuo Zhen got the power that can be regarded as half of the housewife's due power, but the implementation is not satisfactory, although the experienced nurse assists from the side, there is still a lot of foreign appearance.

Zuo Zhen is too young after all, saying a word that should not be said, that is, the eyes are above the top, although the family has also been taught by his mother some housekeepers should pay attention to the matters, but it is on paper and has not really done it, resulting in the fact that although there is theoretical knowledge but no hands-on adaptability, the first time to take charge of his own house of one acre and three points of land, for a while I don't know where to start, often make a lot of trouble is not lively.

Although Aunt Liu was born in a small family, if you really want to talk about the means of housekeeping, Zuo Zhen can't even beat the horse. There is no other reason, the small family is already poor, although it is not like the poor family to eat chaff vegetables, but they also have to worry about money all the time, which has created a careful and budget-conscious temperament of the family, and they are often thoughtful when dealing with things, otherwise Aunt Liu would not have the power to be the housewife in the house, and even Ouyang Ye has never found fault with it.

Zuo Zhen's series of ugliness in Aunt Liu's eyes is that she doesn't know the height of the sky, and she thinks she is a young lady from everyone's background, look at the housekeeper who can even make mistakes in his own small place, and he still wants to compete with himself for the status of the house, which is really a big shameful joke.

The people in the house are more or less pointing at this young lady behind their backs, as a subordinate, they shouldn't be talking about the master's behind their backs, but the subordinates also have the thoughts and thoughts of the subordinates, and they also want to have a good place to go for a lifetime, not to mention glory and wealth, at least they must have no worries about food and clothing. At this point, Zuo Zhen will never be able to catch up with Aunt Liu, in Zuo Zhen's eyes, the subordinate is the subordinate, the master tells him to do whatever he wants, and there must be no delay and laziness, so that although the subordinates are afraid of Zuo Zhen, they will still not be completely obedient, and although Aunt Liu has no identity, she can find the doorway between the people, which plays a decisive role in it, and sometimes she will acquiesce to the subordinates to be greedy for a little profit to get a little oil and water, sometimes the subordinates occasionally steal and play tricks, she will turn a blind eye to the situation, There are more beatings and fewer punishments, so people will not say that Aunt Liu is harsh and ruthless. There will be discoveries only when there is comparison, and it is better to distinguish the main and secondary, and learn to behave in front of the master.

Zuo Zhen sometimes relies on the meaning of the nurse to do things, in fact, sometimes most of the people listen to the ears and most of them do not go to the heart, she always thinks that she is the master, the idea should be to take it herself, even if a subordinate is a small nurse who raises herself, she can not cross the line of master and servant, she doesn't want to rely on the nurse to raise the slave to bully the master in the future, Zuo Zhen's concerns are not formed in a day, so there will be a lot of jokes, it is just a matter of being cautious, to say that Zuo Zhen is worried in vain, Prevention and non-prevention are not the same thing, there is no available person around you and you have to use the nurse, and you are afraid that the nurse will deceive herself after gaining power, such contradictory thoughts, people don't know what to say.

The maid and the wife around the master and even the nurse, usually out of this courtyard are not to take the banner of the master's side, showing off their power below, once something happens, either to catch a lowly girl ring to take the blame, or to cry and grab the ground to stage a bitter love scene, to show his loyalty to the master for so many years, to tell how he tried his best for the master, nothing more than to win sympathy through the past love, but also to blackmail the master, Those things that have been done behind the scenes are all ordered by the master, and the people who carry out the orders are not these minions who are advertised as confidants. This kind of incident abounds in the backyard mansion, and there is no way to eliminate it, Zuo Zhen's idea is really unnecessary.

Zuo Zhen got up early every day because of the affairs at hand, so she ignored Ouyang Lin, who was her husband.

Ouyang Lin doesn't think much of Zuo Zhen now, and with one thing in front of him, it is obvious how stupid his wife is, and he naturally loses the cold warmth he had before he got married.

Ouyang Lin is an adult man with his own needs, and he works outside every day to make friends with his subordinates, and it is inevitable that he will entertain, and if a man wants to socialize, he has to eat and drink first and then have fun, eating and drinking is easy to say, this fun is those that make people fascinated, popularly speaking, it is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and when you get there, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and having fun, it is a paradise for men.

It's a reason for a man to sit still, and it's not good to go with others, so that the guests and hosts can enjoy themselves. Of course Ouyang Lin is not the kind of Liu Xia Hui, in his eyes, this kind of thing is normal, but what man does not have three wives and four concubines, besides, there is a wife in the family, and he is still a woman who is not very likable, he can enjoy himself outside, there is nothing he can't do, if it weren't for the Zuo family, he would have already wanted to accept the two beauties that others wanted to give him as concubines, how could he still use Shangqinglou to be happy.

"Ma'am." Mother Wang came back from outside, and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.

"Say it." As soon as she saw Wang's mother's expression, she knew that it was a good thing, and Aunt Liu was very confident in it.

"As Madame guessed, the eldest young master does have a few good friends outside." Wang Ma said with a smile: "If this matter is stabbed to the young lady, it will be a good show." ”

Aunt Liu slightly hooked the corners of her lips and sneered: "Zuo Zhen doesn't have much weight in the eyes of the eldest young master, but this matter has to wait a little longer, we can't secretly make ghosts, we have to let her find out for herself, that is a really good show, maybe in the end there will be no place for her in the mansion, and there may be a few more beautiful concubines in the backyard, which is enough for her to suffer." ”

"That's what Madame said." Wang Ma knew that in this way, no matter whether the matter was big or not, it had nothing to do with Aunt Liu, and Zuo Zhen was undoubtedly digging her own grave.

"Zuo Zhenkong occupies the status of a wife, what is the use in the end." Aunt Liu knows the doorway best, "I only hear the newcomer laughing and not hearing the old man crying, who let her make the house unpeaceful as soon as she comes, so that the old man is tired of her, in the final analysis, it is not that she is holding the banner of her mother's Zuo family, and wants to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make tiger skins, it is simply a fool's dream." Speaking of which, I would like to thank the Zunyi County Lord in our house, if it weren't for Zuo Zhen's curiosity that crossed the line, I really can't tell what it looks like now. ”

Wang Ma nodded in agreement, and said in her heart that no matter how Zuo Zhen was born, she should recognize the reality, don't always look like how noble she is, and always talk about things as the daughter of the family.

In the past few days, Zuo Zhen finally understood the affairs of the hand and was relieved, but suddenly realized that her husband had been in his room for a long time, and even the greetings that he had to come to every day were gone. Only then did Zuo Zhen realize what kind of result his negligence had caused.

Soon after the wedding, she was treated so coldly that Zuo Zhen was so cold that she sent someone to inquire if Ouyang Shuang was busy with official business every day, and she was so busy that she didn't even have time to see herself, what she was doing on weekdays.

Only half a day later, the next person came back to report, the words in front of him were that the eldest young master was busy with official business, and he didn't dare to confide in half a word about the things in the back, and cautiously peeked at the young lady with a slightly pale face, and he hesitated when he spoke.

"Say!" Zuo Zhen was not really blind, and he couldn't see that his subordinates were deliberately concealing, so he was angry and scolded loudly for a while.

"Yes, yes, little one." The subordinates were shocked by Zuo Zhen's appearance, and they didn't dare to hide it, for fear of harming their own lives.

"The eldest young master has a lot of socials with people outside, and most of them go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion." The subordinate gritted his teeth and told what he had found.

As soon as Zuo Zhen heard the words Qing|Lou|Chu|Pavilion, her head was clouded for a while, and her face turned white, and the fingertips in her sleeves trembled unconsciously. The words of the next person lingered in her ears, how could she not understand something, the sour meaning in her heart instantly surged into her heart, her eyes suddenly turned red, she worked hard at home and her husband was spending all day drinking, how could she accept this qiē, she had just lost her child before, and she didn't think about herself, but she didn't put her wife in her eyes, what did she Zuozhen do wrong to be humiliated like this, and everyone in the house didn't put themselves in their eyes. It's either stealing and sloppy and sloppy to deal with it, or Yang Fengyin violates strong words, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become, but the stinging pain in my palm shows the blood color I don't realize.

The nurse on the side is used to this kind of thing, no wonder men are all virtuous, and then look at Zuo Zhen's appearance is really pitiful, and people can't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly sent the next person who reported the news, and brought tea to persuade Zuo Zhen to drink tea first to dissipate his anger, just because this fact is not worth it.

"Miss is angry, don't get into trouble with your uncle because of this matter." The nurse comforted: "It is inevitable that my aunt will have entertainment when he is out on an errand, and men don't like to go to such dirty places to relax and relax, and it is normal for them to drink and have fun. ”

Zuo Zhen actually didn't understand this truth in her heart, most men are so indulgent, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, she thought that she had married a good husband, where would she have thought that Ouyang Lin was not exempt from vulgarity, and what she said about loving herself, it was simply a joke, but the more ridiculous thing was that she took it seriously, how stupid she was to believe Ouyang Lin's sweet words, so when she thought about it, she felt how prescient it was for her mother to repeatedly ask her to take a concubine for Ouyang Lin, it was nothing more than expected that something would happen today.

No wonder my mother often persuaded herself, men are mostly attentive and merciful, and it is not easy to be whimsical if they want to tie men to their side, men are insatiable and greedy for freshness, as long as they can keep a man's heart at home, even if it is on the body of a concubine in the house, it is better than a man setting up another room outside, and the wife is not a wife or a concubine.

"Miss, bear with me." What can the nurse say, how much it makes sense, and it is in vain if she can't listen to it.

"How long?" Zuo Zhensheng feels powerless, and since marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been patient all the time, and there is no moment of comfort.

"Bear with me until Miss has a child." The nurse just gave Zuo Zhen a hope to continue living.

"Kid?" Zuo Zhen smiled and said, "Then we have to wait for a long time." It's not that she doesn't know how important children are to herself who has no foundation now, but Ouyang Lin doesn't sleep in her room, what's the use of working hard by herself?

"Miss, isn't there a saying that you can keep the clouds open and see the moon?" The nurse guided from the other side, "There is a process in everything, as long as the young lady is wholeheartedly for the sake of the uncle, the aunt will give the young lady the corresponding respect." ”

"Just respect?" Zuo Zhen didn't want much, but she just wanted to be favored by her husband, is this also an extravagant hope? Or I was wrong from the beginning, I shouldn't be delusional, I shouldn't have those unrealistic children's affections, I didn't want to follow in my mother's footsteps, and now it seems that I am too whimsical.

"Miss, isn't a woman's life at home from her father to her husband, and her husband to her son when she dies, this is the way a woman should go." The nurse didn't want to see Zuo Zhen, who was brought up by herself, revealing a helpless pessimism, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zuo Zhen, who was the same age as the flower.

"Yes, isn't it the clearest to write from three from four Delhi, it's me who is confused." How could Zuo Zhen forget the etiquette that women must abide by in the four books of women that she has read since she was a child, and now how cruel it is to think about it, a woman's life is ruined by such a lack of care.

"Kid." Zuo Zhen lowered her eyes, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hand, where there used to be a little life.

"Yes." Seeing that Zuo Zhen heard this, the nurse was relieved and said: "As long as the eldest son is born before those foxes enter the mansion, then even if there are more concubines in the mansion in the future, they will not be able to surpass the position of young lady." ”

"Kid." Zuo Zhen raised her head and looked out the window, and the churning love in her eyes finally calmed down and became extraordinarily tough.

Zuo Zhen did not make a big fuss with Ouyang Lin as Aunt Liu expected, let alone staged a bitter scene of crying, making trouble and hanging herself, but accepted it very calmly, and the calm was too surprising, which made Aunt Liu, who was waiting to see a good show, very puzzled, Zuo Zhen has changed sex?

"She's not going to make trouble?" Aunt Liu's original good mood has completely disappeared.

"Maybe you don't dare?" Wang Ma expressed her guess in her heart, "After all, the miscarriage incident before made the house restless, and it made the Xiangye unhappy, and it would be really unpopular to make a fuss because of this matter." ”

"She still has a heart." Aunt Liu said angrily: "I think she is now learning to ride, after all, the eldest young master has not really carried people to the house, if she wants to make a fuss, she will have a reputation for jealousy, don't forget that she has not even been in the door for half a year, and no one's face will be dull if she makes trouble, she can't go back to her parents' house to cry because of this ordinary trivial matter." ”

"That's what Madame said." Wang Ma agreed with Aunt Liu's statement.

"It's a long time coming, if you can't do it today, there will be another day, you can't keep going smoothly." Aunt Liu is more patient with Zuo Zhen.

As soon as Ouyang Lin returned to the house, the little guy next to him told him what was happening in the house, and naturally learned that his wife had sent someone to inquire about his whereabouts.

Ouyang Lin changed out of his robe and dressed in casual clothes to coax Zuo Zhen, don't really make everyone look bad, but halfway through, he was stopped by his father's little servant A Qi, saying that his father was waiting for him in the study, so he had to go to see his father first.

Ouyang Ye called his son not for official business, but for the faint rumors of the discord between his son and daughter-in-law, which made him have to pay attention to it, after all, it was a marriage given by the emperor, and he should not be too blatant if he looked down on the daughter of the Zuo family, offending the Zuo family is small, and it was terrible to be accused of contempt of the holy will, so he had to call his son to remind him a few words and let his son restrain himself.

"In the future, I will pay more attention to my colleagues at banquets outside." Ouyang Ye opened his mouth and directly pointed out the source of the problem.

Ouyang Lin replied: "I know, I have my own measure." ”

Ouyang Ye glared at his son with great displeasure when he heard this, and said, "You know, you know that there is still trouble at home, even if Zuo Zhen doesn't care about you, she shouldn't let her complain about you and have a grudge against this family." ”

Ouyang Lin obviously never thought that his father would be angry with him because of Zuo Zhen, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Zuo Zhen is too small-bellied, how can a man not go to a fireworks place when he is out for entertainment, this is a very common thing, is it really for me to sit on that willow Hui, and it doesn't make people laugh off their big teeth." "It's normal for men to play outside occasionally, how can they get to themselves and have to accommodate Zuo Zhen, it's really ridiculous, who has a family like him.

"Then you have to deal with the affairs of the family first, comfort your wife, and let her not stir people's hearts up at every turn because of a little thing." Although Ouyang Ye was angry, he knew that it was not his son's fault, but he couldn't really blame his daughter-in-law in person.

"I don't know what the Zuo family thinks, teaching their daughter to be a jealous woman." Ouyang Lin said that he was also aggrieved in his heart, he didn't do things outside for the sake of the family in the future, but his wife didn't help him, and he had to find himself unhappy every time, which was too embarrassing.

Ouyang Ye didn't really want to marry the Zuo family at the beginning, it was just an alternative, who would have thought that Zuo Wei would openly ask for a decree above the court, no matter whose intentions it is, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of being a trick, and the married concubine is a bastard who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and she only knows how to play petty all day long, and she doesn't look like a young lady, which is even more unlikable.

"No matter how much you don't like it, you always have to show it to others." Ouyang Ye reminded his son, "Don't really make a fuss about the two families getting married, but instead getting married." ”

"My son is self-saving." Ouyang Lin will still listen to his father's words.

"If you really look at the outside and marry back, I don't think her daughters don't even understand this common sense." While Ouyang Ye taught his son a lesson, he would never wronged his son.

"Yes." Ouyang Lin understood the meaning of his father's words.

"Go back, appease her well, don't really let the people in Shangjing see the jokes of our Prime Minister's house." Ouyang Ye didn't want to hear that his son couldn't control his daughter-in-law.

"Yes, I'll keep it in mind." Ouyang Lin stopped saying more and bowed and left.

Ouyang Ye looked at his son's departing figure, and sighed helplessly in his heart, why was it so uncomfortable!

Zuo Zhen was looking at the account book in the house, and when she heard the report from someone outside that the eldest young master was coming, Zuo Zhen put down the account book in her hand and felt a burst of anger rise in her heart. It's good not to see anyone, but when I see Ouyang Lin, who has lost myself, the anger that originally descended breeds again, and I can't suppress it.

The nurse's face changed when she saw it, and she persuaded: "Miss can't get into trouble with Miss, Uncle may just want to explain to Miss." ”

Zuo Zhen didn't want to be angry, but she just couldn't help it, and couldn't help but want to ask Ouyang Lin why he treated herself like this.

"Miss." The nurse listened to the footsteps approaching outside, and said hurriedly: "Miss, don't do anything stupid." ”

Zuo Zhen is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and it took a few deep breaths to calm his mind.

At this time, Ouyang Lin entered the house, saw Zuo Zhen sitting on the chair next to him with a bad face, glanced at the people in the house, and motioned to let the people in the house leave.

The nurse was still not at ease before leaving, and carefully tugged Zuo Zhen's sleeve without a trace to remind her.

Zuo Zhen tried hard to suppress the indignation in her heart, and reluctantly gave a smile in front of Ouyang Lin.

Ouyang Lin knew the reason for Zuo Zhen's anger, stepped forward and sat next to Zuo Zhen, reached out to wrap his hand around Zuo Zhen's waist, and brought it to his side.

"What's the matter, just angry about a little thing?" Ouyang Lin said gently: "I need to make some contacts when I do things outside, you know that making contacts is not only about money, but also about in-depth contact, if you go to a restaurant alone, it's a little monotonous, men don't like happy places, I can let go and talk, I'm just acting on the spot, how can I disturb other people's Yaxing." ”

Zuo Zhen's depression when she heard Ouyang Lin's explanation was reduced by half, "Then which beauty do you plan to take home?" As soon as the words came out, I knew that I had transgressed, but how could there be any reason to take them back when the words were spoken.

Seeing that Zuo Zhen lowered her eyes slightly to hide the momentary embarrassment, Ouyang Lin smiled disapprerovitously: "Those are all female branches, with low status, how can they be compared with their wife, let alone enter the mansion as a concubine." "This is the truth, Ouyang Lin really doesn't look down on the woman on the Fengyue field, no matter how beautiful he is, his identity is there, he is a dignified prime minister's son-in-law, what kind of woman can't marry back, but wants to marry such a woman who can't wait for the stage as a concubine, and let people outside look down on him for no reason.

As soon as Zuo Zhen said this, she couldn't be happier in her heart, and her face naturally showed a little bit.

Ouyang Lin leaned over and kissed Zuo Zhen's cheek and coaxed: "I only love you, no matter how fragrant the wild flowers outside are, how can the delicate flowers at home be more desirable." With that, he picked up Zuo Zhen and went to the inner room.

"Ahh Zuo Zhen was startled by the sudden suddenness, and hurriedly wrapped her arms around Ouyang Lin's neck.
