Yang Hao looked at the old and the young helplessly, and had to ask himself if he bought a gift, it was really .......

"Did you buy it?" Yang Lan was also very anxious, in fact, she wanted to know what she bought, so she could take the opportunity to take a look.

Yang Hao had a calm face, "I bought it." "I won't say a word more.

"So what did you buy? I'll help you see if it's the right way, Sister Cui is an elegant person, a good girl with a good blue heart, don't buy the wrong thing. Yang Lan's big eyes were purring, and she was thinking about how to trick the gift into taking a look.

Yang Hao couldn't help but be asked, and said with a dark face: "Go, the children's family is quite wide, don't worry about it, I know what to send, worry about yourself, it's really verbose." ”

Yang Lan pouted, stuck out her tongue at the eldest brother, looked indignant, and ran to her grandmother to complain, "Grandmother, look at the eldest brother, cross the river and tear down the bridge, pity me at the risk of being scolded by my father, I ran to the study to send him a message, do you say that it is easy for me, I forget my sister when I have a daughter-in-law." "Still crying with a sad face, a little bit wronged.

The old lady was amused by Yang Lan and laughed, "Let's ignore him, he doesn't dare to forget you, grandmother helps you clean him up, don't you give him food tonight?" ”

Yang Lan covered her mouth and smiled like a little mouse stealing oil to eat, her eyes were shining, "Hehe! Okay, punish him for standing at the base of the wall and not allowed to eat. ”

Yang Hao shook his head helplessly, his eyes were gentle with a smile, "I won't tell you, I'm going to the study." "Ran away with a red face.

"Hahaha! He blushed, grandmother, did you see that? Yang Lan smiled and fell on the couch he said, when he was a child, the eldest brother and the second brother were punished like this when they made mistakes, standing on the wall and reflecting on it. If it's a big mistake, I'm going to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The old lady scratches her nose. laughed and scolded: "You kid is so naughty." How can you laugh at your brother, hehe. I couldn't hold back my laughter.

After the eldest brother came back, he chose a good day to go to Cui's house to ask for peace, Tete took the gift he bought from Jiangnan over, and when he came back, his face was calm, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, which made Yang Lan, who was bent on reading gossip, very boring, and asked Chang Fu and Chang Le around him to know that the Cui family's parents were still very satisfied with the eldest brother. The gift was also handed over to Sister Cui, and she met in a hurry in the main hall, and it was true that she didn't say a few words.

Chang Le said that the eldest brother was very satisfied, and there was still a smile in his eyes when he came out of Cui's house, so he was satisfied.

This reassured Yang Lan a lot, although there was no choice for an arranged marriage, she still hoped that her eldest brother could be accompanied by a confidant and be happy, there were some things that the concubine could not give, and only the wife could compare with her husband. In order to share weal and woe and share the ups and downs.

The queen's birthday came as scheduled, and what made the queen happiest was that her son had returned safely. It was a hundred times better than any gift she gave, and this birthday was the happiest day the queen had ever had.

The youngest son and daughter Fu'an jointly danced a dance to give to themselves, the eldest son bought a gift from Jiangnan for himself, Fu'an gave his own hand-embroidered shoes, the children are filial and sensible, what could be better than this.

Yang Lan followed her mother and the old lady into the palace to celebrate her birthday, and also saw Mrs. An Ninghou, fortunately there were no strange and strange things on today's birthday, and it was extremely smooth and festive, which made people breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day after returning to the house, the queen sent a personal female official to reward the Yang family and the eldest brother, mainly to express her gratitude for protecting Chu Yu, and to express her gratitude to the Yang family by rewarding the Yang family.

At the same time, he also informed a news that the emperor in the name of the queen's generosity and benevolence, will be twenty-five years old female officials and grandmothers to release a batch, eunuchs over thirty years old will also go out a batch, now has begun to register the list, by the queen mother and the queen in person, each palace must go out a batch, no one can be an exception, at the end of this month all cleared out, in the autumn to choose a new palace maid to come in.

Yang Xu and the two of them glanced at each other, and had a plan in their hearts, after Yang Xu sent the female official away, he said to his sons: "Follow me to the study." ”

The father and son went to the study to discuss the matter, and He Hui led his daughter back to the room, and they also had something to discuss.

"I'll let the steward come to the house for a trip, and you can also meet, and from now on, I will follow the study to take care of the dowry, especially the affairs of the shop and the Zhuangzi must be distinguished, the things on the Zhuangzi are more complicated and cumbersome, and the agricultural affairs should also be asked more, so as not to be deceived." How is the Northeast Zhuangzi I asked you to manage before? He Hui decided to let her daughter pass in advance, and she also had a score in her heart.

Yang Lan thought for a while and said: "I have already let Brother Chang Fu basically grasp the specific evidence of the crime, his house has a courtyard on South Street, which is Sanjin, and it is basically bought from the money that Zhuangzi is greedy for, I have searched for all the evidence, and now it depends on my mother's meaning." ”

He Hui nodded with satisfaction, knowing that it was not bad to collect evidence quietly, so he asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

She wanted to see what her daughter would do with it.

Yang Lan pondered carefully before saying: "I think call him in person, show him the evidence, take the opportunity to meet, take all his family and put them in the Zhuangzi to guard, if he has the heart to repent, hand over the greedy money to save him from death, but this person cannot be reused in the future, stay in the Zhuangzi to retire." ”

He Hui sighed, he had the means but his heart was too soft, and it was easy to give the enemy a chance to fight back, but he finally knew what to do, and he would make up for it in the future.

"The method is not bad, but I think you should inform him to send him to the government, force him to reflect, and by the way, let the other stewards be present, which can play a role in deterrence and beating, and you have to say the things in the account book clearly, so that those stewards know that you are clear in your heart, not a fool, they will be loyal to you, otherwise they will think that you are a good fool, and you must be guarded by people on the Zhuangzi, if you hand over the money, it will be enough, and it is not impossible to give him a way to live, But if you are stubborn, you will directly raid your house and sell it to the coal kiln, let those in charge beat the drum in your heart, and remember not to be soft-hearted, let alone leave trouble. ”

He Hui Yinyin taught his daughter how to deal with a shrewd and slippery steward, as a superior, he must have a crosshairs in his heart, and his means must be decisive and he must not drag mud and water. Otherwise, it will only make people think that your ears are soft. It's so confusing.

Yang Lan listened happily. I kept it in my heart bit by bit, and secretly wondered what I had done wrong, and what I should do in the future to be considered complete.

"Your rouge shop is doing well, especially the gouache rouge and eyebrow dai of the ancient recipe are very good, it is a feature of the store, the reward of the steward does not need to be given too early, I have already arranged for his grandson to study and study, and he will be older after you get married." If you can pass the exam, you are looking for a good master for him, so that the steward will be loyal to you, and now you don't need it, the annual reward has been given too much. As for Master Lin, you will find her a daughter to support her in the future, if she is not willing to ask for it, you can provide for her in the elderly, and she can also work for you in a down-to-earth manner. He Hui broke up the matter and crumpled it to explain to her daughter how to be gracious. How to do it in people's hearts is all knowledge.

Yang Lan nodded. I relied on my mother to listen and learn carefully.

He Hui handed over the account books of several other shops to her, "You go back and take a good look at these account books, and see what you can see, I see that Biyun and Biyue Bilian are not bad, and they are willing to learn skills, that Qingya can also be, a very clever little girl, you can consider training, let them be your arms in the future, as for Biqing, forget it, I see that the child is a big heart." ”

Yang Lan nodded, she had already seen a few clever little girls in her heart, and she planned to be promoted to a third-class girl, and when she got married in the future, they were older, and the second-class girl could go with her, and when she arrived at her husband's house, it was her own arm, and the people who came out of her mother's family were more reliable after all, and they could handle it.

There are still three years, enough for your own deployment, so put these things together as soon as possible, so as not to be too flustered by then.

"When Chang Fu gives you a dowry, I plan to choose a good girl for him, who do you think is better?"

Yang Lan thought for a while, "Otherwise, my mother will choose one for me, it's always my brother, I can't be cold, I originally planned to choose a good one, and I can help my brother honor my grandmother in the future, but it's not good if my vision is too low." ”

After hearing this, He Hui understood what her daughter meant, nodded and said, "Cheng, this is handed over to my mother, and I promise to find you a satisfactory candidate." ”

"Well, it's better to be a mother." Yang Lan relied on her mother to be coquettish.

"You kid, you just have a sweet mouth." He Hui doted on his daughter and smiled.

Yang Lan began to learn to take care of the dowry, and by the way, she began to take care of the affairs of the princess's mansion with the help of her mother, and learned how to be a specific housekeeper.

I just managed a kitchen before, although there were small mistakes but they were not too serious, but now after accepting them all, Yang Lan was busy making mistakes for a while, and it took almost a month to get everything right, this is still the result of my mother's town, and people don't dare to play tricks, if you go to your husband's house, someone is making a mess or something, you can imagine that people and things are not as easy as they seem on the surface.

And the Hou Mansion was led by a few girls to the third lady to learn how to take care of the house, since the old lady ordered the affairs of each room to be managed by each room, and the same is true for the deployment of personnel, and only give the monthly silver every month in the future, not to give things clothes or anything, take the money to buy it yourself, and order food to pay the silver to the big kitchen.

If you want to start your own fire, you can also make a small kitchen in your own yard, you can write a menu in advance and give it to the big kitchen to buy together, and the extra money will be paid by each room.

In fact, this is also a prelude to the separation, and when the old lady leaves, there will be no disorganized situation, and it has been clear in advance, that is, to take away their own minions, and it is also the meaning of adapting in advance.

At the beginning, it was indeed a little messy, but soon each room was very satisfied, not only did the silver not spend more, but there was a lot left, before every quarter to make clothes, buy rouge or something, people eat and take buckles, it is inevitable to lose a lot, but now this is only silver, how much silver is each part of each month, and the total together directly handed over to each room, their own purchase, not only let each room save money, but also buy the good things they need, to avoid the slaves from the buckle.

It's a lot easier for the Hou Mansion, reducing the excess expenses of various expenses, and the owners and ladies of each house can also choose what they like as they like, for example, it's not good to buy more on the Rouge Mansion, which is the result of the minions asking for it, and you can choose to buy what you like when you have money, and it's good to spend less money.
