Sending away Sister-in-law Li in the kitchen, Yang Lan began to write, summarizing the guests who were coming, which of the wives of the families were good friends with each other, who their daughters and sons belonged to, and which position they should sit in, which was a bit knowledgeable.

Yang Lan listed them one by one, even including how many boudoir daughters have good friends, how should they be sorted, what entertainment activities should be arranged, what activities can be played by the gentlemen, the requirements are novel and interesting, no taboos, and try to take care of everyone, so there needs to be a set of alternatives.

There are also how to draw up the dishes on the day of the banquet, how to place them are a little particular, for example, cold dishes should be placed in front of the guests, and soup dishes should be placed in the back positions, so that even if they are sprinkled, they will not burn the guests, and they would rather be far away than burn people.

There are also refreshments, Yang Lan plans to let them make a small snack like a crisp, you can eat it in one bite, all kinds of snacks are prepared, all of them are made into small flower shapes, which look small and rare and will not stain everyone's rouge, and it is too ugly to eat all over the scum.

In addition, there are several kinds of tea to prepare for guests to choose, some girls like to play a tea ceremony, and it is also an activity to meet a few friends to taste tea and chat, this should be prepared.

There are also two mothers-in-law in the outer courtyard to guard the door, in case any of the young ladies who are not long-eyed rush to the outer courtyard to see the beautiful man, then the face of the princess's mansion will be completely lost, and people may have to say that the rules are not strict.

There are also troupes to be invited, and the princess has invited two troupes back a few days ago. One of the juggling classes, there are a lot of new and interesting juggling lively to watch. There is also an opera troupe that can sing operas, and try to take care of everyone's interests by ordering plays for the wives.

These people should also prepare a special yard and arrange it. Wait until the hour to let them come out, so that people will watch more, the day of the banquet is very chaotic, and it is not a good thing to collide.

The dense Yang Lan wrote down all the things he could think of, and specially listed a diagram of the relationship between the wives of each family, what relatives and friends the Zhang family and the Li family have, and what official positions each man has in the court.

After Yang Lan finished writing, she read for a while before she stopped writing, and said to Biyun who was guarding the side: "Go and ask Mama Zhang to come and see." Let's see if there's anything I've missed, and let her pick me up. ”

"Yes!" Biyun answered, and immediately went to invite someone.

After a while, Mama Zhang came over and respectfully saluted Yang Lan, "Master, you call the old slave?" ”

Yang Lan smiled sweetly, raised her hand and said, "Mama sit down and talk!" I came to you specifically to ask you about the banquet, Mama is an old man who is loved by my mother, and her eyesight is much stronger than mine, and if you don't understand it when I'm young, you have to point me out! ”

Mama Zhang immediately got up and bowed down and said with a smile: "This is the duty of the old slave, and it should not be praised by the little master." Although you can do it without your hands, if there is anything wrong, the old slave will tell you as soon as possible. His voice was warm and his eyes were full of charity.

Yang Lan nodded. He handed over the list he had written, "Here are some precautions I can think of, you can help me take a look." Is there anything I missed or that I didn't make right? ”

Mama Zhang took the list in Biyun's hand and looked at it seriously. It took a long time before he nodded and smiled: "It's rare that the little master can think so thoroughly for the first time, but there is one thing that the old slave wants to ask." Who are you going to assign to each location? Has anyone chosen one? ”

Yang Lan thought for a while and said: "I thought that everything had an overview, just like the manager of the store, the manager was responsible for the people under him, I just needed to find the accountability of the manager, so this banquet was also planned in this way, I handed over the kitchen affairs to Sister-in-law Li, she is the manager of the kitchen, and I plan to hand over the activities of the outer courtyard to Yang Da and my brother Chang Fu, so that he can follow the ability to learn from the eyebrows and eyes." The inner courtyard is handed over to Mama to be responsible for the overview, and the treasury is still according to the original stewardship, and I will find Mr. Yang to be accountable if there is a problem in the outer courtyard, and I will look for you if there is a problem in the inner courtyard, and I will find the treasury manager to be accountable for the things in the treasury, what do you think? She plans to share responsibilities, decentralize at the first level, and individuals assume their own responsibilities, and there will be no blame-shifting when holding them accountable.

Mama Zhang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes leaked with appreciation, she thought that the little master's policy was correct, she was afraid that the little master would have no clue for the first time, and he grabbed his eyebrows and beard, and commanded blindly! Now it seems that it has the style of a princess, which is really good!

In fact, it's not that Yang Lan has much experience, she just learned from some methods in later generations, she thinks that the person in charge is similar to the supervisors at all levels in later generations, and the work is handed over to you, and the first person to be held accountable if something goes wrong is, of course, the supervisor, I know who you let do the work!

The one I can meet is the steward, so I won't look for you to go to anyone! As for who the steward is going to punish, that's his business, and I'll give you a certain amount of freedom and rights, but you also have to pay for the work I've assigned.

If you care about everything, you will definitely be a mess if you ask everything, so what's the difference between it and the mother-in-law who runs errands?

"The old slave thinks it's very appropriate, remember to call them tomorrow and let them assign the work early, so that they can prepare early?" Mama Zhang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as the master didn't command indiscriminately and calmed down, the people below would not dare to mess around.

Yang Lan nodded, her face full of joy and gratitude, "Then I'll rely on Mama to bother more!" Remember to remind the people below that the dangerous boundaries such as rockeries by the lake should be checked several times, and the second thing is that if something happens, it is unlucky to be infected with the trouble that cannot be shaken off! ”

Mama Zhang's heart sank, and she thought it was true, and immediately responded: "The old slave understands, you can rest assured!" ”

Yang Lan said a few more words to Mama Zhang before letting Mama Zhang retreat, sat on the chair and stretched, not to mention that the housekeeper director is really consuming, no wonder Sister Feng's housekeeper in the Red Mansion has almost destroyed her body in a few years, if she encounters a group of uncooperative Diao slaves, it will be even more unlucky!

Biyun served a bowl of hot almond goat milk and asked thoughtfully: "Miss didn't take a breath early in the morning, let's drink a bowl of goat milk and take a rest!" In the afternoon, I have to learn the rules! ”

Yang Lan drank the warm goat's milk in one go, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Go and bring the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to me and memorize it, and I will also have a number in my heart to identify the medicinal materials in the afternoon." ”

"Miss, why don't you take a break and carry it again! There is no rush at this time! Biyun felt a little sorry for his master, he got up early in the morning to practice the words for an hour, took classes for a while, and assigned work to his subordinates, so he didn't have a moment to spare!

Yang Lan shook her head, "It's okay, I sleep soundly at night, and I can lie down for half an hour at noon, it's not in the way!" As long as you sleep well, you won't have to worry about being tired during the day! ”

Biyun thought about it or went to get the book, Yang Lan leaned on the high-backed chair and flipped through the book, silently reciting, now he is learning the knowledge of medicinal herbs, to learn to identify some basic common herbs, to be familiar with their medicinal properties and pharmacology, which is also necessary for learning medicinal diets, etc., as a necessary subject to become a lady of the house in the future.

Yang Lan herself also thinks that it is always right to learn more skills, so she is very serious, and has taken out 120,000 points of spiritual learning, holding a book and reciting a mantra or something, not to let the girl around her take the book to assess herself, the attitude is very serious, and Mama Zhang has seen that the teaching is more and more careful and meticulous.
