221 Preparation
This is the second month of Yang Lan's newlywed, and her life has been busy since she started to be a housekeeper, and she has to bring her three younger sisters to listen to the housekeepers' replies in the morning.
The most important thing is to quickly find out the relationship between the stewards and the stewards of the shops outside, the involvement of the branches and vines, those people can be used, those people are moths for what failed to be replaced, what reasons, and those people can be promoted to spare, such as the second steward, the apprentices in the shop for more than three years, whether they can be used separately, as a spare talent for substitution, at least these should be clear in mind.
These days, not only is she busy, but the girls at the bottom are all moving, and when she has nothing to do, she is wandering around the house, today she asks for a soup, and tomorrow she wants a snack or something, and the kitchen is the best place to collect news.
There is also the account room, some of the accounts are not very clear, and they are done very carefully, if she doesn't understand the accounts, she will almost be cheated, the account room is a place with a lot of oil and water, and she is most afraid of colluding with people, and this has to be done slowly.
Yesterday, Rong Yi went back to her mother's house to discuss things with her eldest brother, and when she left, she said that she was going to use Biqing and took her away, and only said that she would let Biqing go home, and the princess had something to do with her, Yang Lan was a little gloomy in her heart, although she knew that this girl was not sincere to herself, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she had been together for ten years. It's just a stone master who has been covered. Although I have done stupid things myself. But selfishly, I still hope that she can respect her, so that she can feel at ease.
But the truth is not as good as she imagined after all, forget it, since she has no intention of thinking about her, she doesn't have to think about her anymore, this path is her own choice, everyone has to pay the price for their choice, even if she is the same. Biyun didn't say anything this time, and the sisterhood was used up. My heart was also cold, and I just watched Bi Qing happily follow along.
She sighed secretly in her heart, and she didn't know if Lu Daoniang would scold herself for being stupid!
These days, Yang Lan has not changed her mother-in-law's example, but quietly collected some important information and personnel lists, and planned to set the backup talent first.
After the stewards finished their work in the morning, Biyun came over, holding a rewritten list in her hand, looking at her and nodding slightly. It means pretty much that.
Yang Lan glanced at it and nodded. "Let's go to my mother's place and discuss it."
The three younger sisters also stood up and looked at her, wondering if they should follow her, and looked a little hesitant.
Yang Lan thought for a while, "You guys should come along, the affairs of the family are all confused, and the affairs of other people's families will not be dealt with in the future." ”
The three younger sisters followed behind with some trepidation, not knowing what Lu Dao was going to discuss, and they were inevitably a little nervous.
Yang Lan took her three younger sisters to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Rong, at this time Mrs. Rong was just about to set the meal, she was happy to see them coming, and she also brought it out on her face, "I also said when did you come over, I made a small whitebait in the kitchen today, and I am going to ask someone to call you over to try it." ”
Yang Lan also smiled generously and heartily, "It's just right, I've been hungry for a long time, and my stomach is gurgling." ”
The three girls also sat down, and told jokes with gags, which amused Mrs. Rong with great joy.
Yang Lan and the girls happily finished eating, and the people took the table and served the tea, and Yang Lan spoke, "Mother, I have a little bit of a thought in my heart, I want to discuss with you first, I will make a list, you can help me open my eyes, see if these people can be used, and if there are any omissions." With that, he presented the list.
This is the result of the efforts of Biyun and several second- and third-class maids for more than half a month, and they have touched the situation in the house, of course, Mama Lin and Brother Milk have also made great efforts to buy the subordinates in several positions in the West Courtyard, including maids and maids, all in different positions.
Obtained a lot of useful information, according to the West Courtyard people, inside and outside, the deeper nails in the house touched again, as for whether they were all clean, she felt that it was not necessarily, the old woman for so many years, how can everything be known to the people below, there are always one or two hole cards will not tell others.
Mrs. Rong put down the teacup and took the list and read it, and it was very clear what was written on the list, who was related to whom, what position each of them was doing, what was the annual income, what kind of person was in the early years, and what happened later.
Mrs. Rong nodded appreciatively after seeing it, and pointed to a few people who had missed out and said, "These people you mentioned are all good, and some of them have real skills, but in this way, I don't think there are enough people." ”
Yang Lan smiled and honestly said her thoughts, "I think our family is a little too much, for example, what is the difference between a girl who sweeps a yard by one person or three people, can one person really not do it?" If you give twice as much silver, will you do it? In this way, for us, there will be fewer people and fewer disputes, and it is not easy to stir up trouble when there are more people living at the bottom, and you can buy it if you are not enough, but it is not easy to clean up when there are more people. ”
What she means is that a position is the most empty and a lack is good, there must be competition to have pressure, the province is busy all day and night, and the atmosphere at home is also smoky, very bad.
Mrs. Rong listened to her explanation and probably understood what she meant, and felt that this method was not necessarily bad, just like she said that if there are not enough people, you can buy it, but if there are too many people, it is not good, and it is thrown out.
"Cheng, just do as you say, but I'm afraid the West Courtyard won't let such a big move, every time I want to move, I am persuaded, the Rong family is an old family, the most charitable family, don't drive people away if you don't lack that money, be kind or something, but don't spend her money on it." Mrs. Rong was very angry when she mentioned this.
Yang Lan thought for a while and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, although the people on the list are optimistic, but they have not been specifically contacted." I'm going to let the people under me run it. I also asked my mother to lend Wang's granddaughter to me. She looked at Wang's mother and smiled.
Wang's mother realized it very quickly. Thousands of squatted blessings, "The county lord is polite, it is the blessing of the old slave who can help, I am afraid that the little grandson of the old slave is not reliable." "Mother Wang is a little worried that her little granddaughter will not be able to handle things well, and it will be a big deal to let the county lord lose face.
Yang Lan didn't care, "It's okay, I'm just going to see how many people are willing to follow us, someone has to coax us to do this." It has to be smashed, so that it has no turning back to be done, otherwise the quarrel will be in place after the most embarrassing one, and it is not only us who will be embarrassed, but also proud, I just want her to have no chance to change, and she can't change it. She smiled coldly.
Mother Wang felt much more relieved when she heard this, "Cheng, when you call her, just borrow it." It was her blessing to let her serve the county lord. ”
The three younger sisters sat there and listened for a while, and their hearts slowly pondered this. They also know about the affairs of the West Courtyard, but they only know that Mrs. Lu Dao doesn't like to be honest and meddle in the affairs of our East Courtyard over there, but they are of high seniority over there, and they can't listen to a word.
But looking at my sister-in-law as if she was plotting something, can it just be done?
Yang Lan saw the doubts of the three younger sisters, and there was no meaning to explain, she had a way, she also had her own honor guard and reason, this matter should be combined with the outside, this is just a preliminary rectification, and it will be done in detail later.
Immediately afterwards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law touched their heads on the temperament of the old people in the house, and discussed how to act specifically, and the mother-in-law gave a few ideas for Yang Lanmao to open up, feeling that Jiang was still old and spicy, better than his own methods, and more mellow.
With a crosshairs, Yang Lan is also much more down-to-earth, and she can let go of her hands and feet.
Of course, the first step is to clean up the manpower of the big house, at the beginning, Wang Yunxiang's housekeeper stuffed a lot of people in for more than two years, making a mess in some places, always noisy and shouting, Yang Lan decided to reduce all her manpower, whether you are happy or not.
Since her father-in-law issued a grounding order, Wang Yunxiang has been staying in the courtyard to copy Buddhist scriptures, and she has not come out when she is idle, and she looks a lot quieter.
Listening to Bi Lian's words, the eldest young master has never been to her yard since that quarrel, either he stayed there for a few nights, or he simply stayed out for the night and didn't come back, and when he came back, he slept in the study, and he didn't see her at all, which completely chilled her.
This made Yang Lan feel relieved at the same time, but also a little confused, how could he see that the eldest young master didn't seem to like this daughter-in-law very much, not only for the previous things, but also for something else?
But this is just a change of thought, she still has a lot of things to do, and she can't keep herself busy.
Back in the courtyard, the jade fan came over to pass the word, "Grandma, the second master sent Dye Mo back to pass the word, let me make something delicious in the afternoon, saying that I haven't eaten your food for a long time, I think about it, he will bring you roast duck back to eat in the evening." ”
Yang Lan pursed her lips and smiled, this is not thinking about her food, but saying that she has snubbed him, and snickered in her heart as if she was busy these days and snubbed him.
"Well, I know, let the kitchen prepare some ham for me, and I'll cook two dishes for your second master to eat in a while, and the province will say that I snubbed him." She complained complainingly, I'm too busy with my feet to keep it on the ground.
Zhuangzi sent some food and wine over, and drank with him at night, and comforted him, which could be regarded as a reward for him.
These days, I heard the word from the eldest brother, saying that Rong Yi was doing a good job in the household department, and he soon stood on his feet, so that the people in the household department admired and recognized, but he was younger and his qualifications were not enough, otherwise it would not be a big deal to be a household servant.
This made her feel very proud in her heart, her man is a man who can carry it, adding luster to her face, making her feel admired, like a gentleman, it's really good.
Thinking so, Yang Lan looked at herself, smiled and turned around to go to the kitchen, and when she left, she asked Biyun to find out her lilac purple dress and skirt, and when she cooked, she would change it and dress up better, and she would be happy when Rong Yi came back to see it. (To be continued......)

Sent Biqing back to the Yang family, Rong Yi is a ruthless person with a black belly, and it has stopped for the time being, and the princess said that she was very angry, you are waiting for me This girl is so stupid that she is not my daughter, you must wake up.
