Less than a month after Jia Lian got married, a major event happened in Rongguo's mansion that no one expected. That is, Jia's mother decided to let Wang Xifeng assist Mrs. Wang in charge of Rongguo Mansion, and arranged Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's courtyard in a small courtyard directly behind Rongxi Hall, although this courtyard has only a dozen rooms, but it is beautifully decorated, and most importantly, this courtyard is the same as Rongxi Hall, on the central axis of Rongguo Mansion.

In this way, Mrs. Wang's courtyard seems to have become a side courtyard, and Wang Xifeng officially began to take charge of Rongguo Mansion, but Mrs. Wang withdrew from a stone's throw away, except for the major matters, the others were handed over to Wang Xifeng to deal with, so Wang Xifeng has actually become the big housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion.

Mother Jia's decision was also well thought out, Mrs. Wang said that she was a beautiful lady, but in fact, she was a little narrow-minded, and she was really not good at housekeeping, and her housekeeper's inner bag of Rongguo Mansion had been empty over the years. If it weren't for Jia Zheng's face, Jia's mother would have relegated her to the side.

When Jia's mother entered the door when Wang Xifeng entered the door, she secretly inspected him and her, and this daughter-in-law really lived up to her reputation outside.

Wang Xifeng is exquisite, and he does his best to please Jia's mother in Rongguo's mansion, and he also respects Mrs. Wang very much. And she acted neatly, after inspecting her for a while, Jia Mu felt that she was still much stronger than Mrs. Wang.

At least Wang Xifeng still has calculations in her heart, if she is allowed to take care of the house, at least she is much stronger than Mrs. Wang.

So when Mrs. Wang and others visited Jia's mother, Jia's mother suddenly issued an order, seized the power of Mrs. Wang's housekeeper, and handed over her rights to Wang Xifeng.

After Wang Xifeng suddenly received the power of housekeeper, not only did he not panic, but became happy. She already has the ambition of a man, but as a daughter, she can't go out, and this time she has the right to be a housekeeper, so she naturally wants to show off her ambitions and let others see her ability.

Mrs. Wang suddenly lost the right to be a housekeeper, and she was very depressed in her heart, although she still had some rights in her hands, but except for some important things, she was almost not allowed to interfere in other things.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng still has a lot of respect for Mrs. Wang, and she has to go over to report to her about any big or small affairs, which makes Mrs. Wang's loss a lot.

Although Wang Xifeng has taken over the housework, Mrs. Wang's former subordinates do not respect her very much, after all, these people are decades of old fritters, and it is not easy for Wang Xifeng, a teenage girl, to suppress them.

Besides, it is not easy to manage Jiafu, "more than 300 people, there are one or twenty things a day, and it is like a mess" Jiafu, how easy it is to say! The poor and extravagant life in the house, the expenditure of money, the dispatch constraints of rich slaves and servants, etc.; Outside the royal relatives and relatives of the congratulatory entertainment, relatives and friends of the old weddings and funerals, happy birthdays, Houmen Mansion to usher, red tape, etc., this big stall of complicated and trivial matters, all have to be handled, asked, and decided. And now there is one more thing in the house, that is, officials from all over the country come to send Bing Tribute, Carbon Tribute and gifts to ask for help. None of these things are of great importance, and if you accept gifts and don't give them things done, you will not only offend people, but also it will be difficult to walk in the officialdom in the future.

Originally, Mrs. Wang was responsible for these things, but Mrs. Wang only knew how to make money, and dared to agree to anything, and after receiving the gifts, she directly sent Jia Zheng's posts everywhere, with his reputation and Jia Ke's prestige, most things can still be done, so it has been able to maintain until now.

But now that it's Wang Xifeng's turn, these things may not be done. After all, she can't use Jia Zheng's post, and if she wants to do it, she can only use Jia Yu. As a result, there is much less deterrence for local officials. This made her think carefully about what she could and couldn't do.

Just when the slaves in the family were waiting to see her jokes, thinking that she was a new daughter-in-law, who was in charge of such a big family when she first came to Rongguo Mansion, she would definitely make jokes, but this Wang Xifeng gave everyone a resounding slap in the face.

This Wang Xifeng is in charge of the family, no matter how big or small, inside and out, it is orderly, proper and thorough. Moreover, the intricate interpersonal relationships in Jiafu, such as the elder and the younger, the respectful and the inferior, the relatives, the concubines, and the masters and slaves, were carefully and clearly distinguished by her.

The officials who came to give gifts from all over the country were also sorted out by Wang Xifeng, and even used Jia Ke's reputation to let her win over a group of useful officials and give her work below. There are many things that she doesn't need to open her mouth to, and the officials below will naturally do it for her, so her current power in the officialdom is not worse than that of Mrs. Wang.

Wang Xifeng held up an "old ancestor" in this way, loved her and loved her, and couldn't leave her for a moment, with this backer, she was even more unscrupulous in holding power in Rongguo Mansion, and even his husband Jia Lian was afraid of her.

Although Wang Xifeng has become the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, she knows very well in her heart that Rongguo Mansion is now supported by what talents. So in addition to rectifying the Rongguo Mansion, cleaning up the useless minions, and currying favor with the old lady, he decided to go to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion to visit Qin Keqing in person. She knew that as long as she curried favor with Jia Ke, then her position in Rongguo Mansion would be as stable as Mount Tai in the future, and the officials she had wooed would not dare to resist in front of Jia Ke.

So on a bright morning after the snow, Wang Xifeng took her four wedding maids and sat in a soft sedan chair carried by two people and walked out of the side door of Rongguo Mansion. Walk west along Ningrong Street, and walk a stone's throw to the gate of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.

Wang Xifeng carefully watched the Wuyang Hou Mansion in the sedan chair, and saw that the scale of the gate was no worse than the Rongguo Mansion, the only difference from the Rongguo Mansion was that the door was opened by the family, not the little maid at home, but eight pro-soldiers who licked their chests and folded their stomachs, wore helmets and crown armor, and crossed the waist knife, only this one shows the difference between the Wuyang Hou Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, several personal soldiers came forward to inquire, and Wang Xifeng's dowry maid hurriedly explained his intentions.

The soldier knew that it was the grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion next to him who came to visit his mother, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly sent someone in to report.

At this time, Qin Keqing's belly was already very big, and she just walked a few steps in her house every day and didn't go out, and a few grandmothers around her were also more careful about her, and they didn't dare to give her any food if they didn't know the origin, so they completely treated him as a lady in the palace.

The only person Qin Keqing can contact every day now is Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou now talks to her twice a day in the morning and evening, and chats non-stop.

Today, the two of them sat at the head of Qin Keqing's bed as usual, chatting about the gossip of Ning Rong's second mansion without saying a word, and the most talked about was how Wang Xifeng managed the house and how to govern the arrogant and domineering minions of Rongguo Mansion well.

Ruizhu came in from outside the house at this time and came to Qin Keqing's side, "Grandma, the second grandmother Lian from the mansion next to her, ask to see you outside the mansion." ”

As soon as Qin Keqing heard that Wang Xifeng asked to see her, she couldn't help but be interested, she had long wanted to see this hero in the fat powder pile, but she was pregnant and walking poorly, so she didn't see each other. Now that Wang Sishun came to visit her in person, he immediately ordered someone to greet her.

Wang Xifeng waited outside the gate of the mansion for a short time, and the side door of the Wuyang Hou Mansion was opened, and a team of maids walked out of it, and the first one came to Wang Xifeng's soft sedan chair, gave her a thousand blessings, and said: "Slave Ruizhu, please say hello to the second grandmother Lian." The slave maid was ordered by our grandmother to come to greet Grandma Lian, just because our grandmother was pregnant, she couldn't greet her in person, and asked Grandma Lian to forgive."

"Your grandmother has a heart, she is her own concubine, and it is too much to say that she forgives or not." Wang Xifeng said crisply in the soft sedan chair.

So Ruizhu led the way in front, and a group of maids surrounded Wang Xifeng's soft sedan chair, and entered the Wuyang Marquis Mansion through the side door.

Wang Xifeng was able to walk through the side door this time because Qin Keqing admired her ability, so he let him enter through the side door of the main entrance, which was already an extra-standard courtesy. Under normal circumstances, if Wang Xifeng wants to enter, he has to enter the Wuyang Hou Mansion, either through the moon gate that communicates from the Rongguo Mansion, or he can only go to the corner gate outside the Wuyang Hou.

The soft sedan chair made by Wang Xifeng directly entered the outer courtyard of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. There is Jia Ke's outer study, as well as various staff rooms, as well as various housekeepers, accounting rooms and other office places.

Further ahead is a Yimen, after the Yimen is a five-room hall, this is where Jia Ke receives guests, on both sides of the hall is a corridor conservatory.

Wang Xifeng's sedan chair passed the hall, and then went further to the Neiyi Gate, and after the Neiyi Gate, he came to Wuwei Hall, the center of the Wuyang Hou Mansion. They passed by the side of Wuwei Hall, and only then did they arrive at the main compound where Qin Keqing lived.

There is also such a main house compound in the Rongguo Mansion, but it has been closed and no one lives in it, and even Mrs. Wang only lives in the courtyard next to the Rongxi Hall.

Wang Xifeng came here to stop the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng got out of the sedan chair with the support of Ping'er, looked forward, and saw a row of five or six large main houses in front of him, at the door of one of the houses, at this time there was a pregnant pretty woman standing, although the woman was pregnant, but its gorgeous things were incomprehensible, Wang Xifeng saw this and gave birth to a liking, and knew that this was Qin Keqing, the hostess of Wuyang Hou's Mansion. She was followed by a middle-aged woman dressed in a gorgeous and ordinary complexion, followed by four or five mothers-in-law, and seven or eight maids.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly took two steps and came to Qin Keqing's side to salute her, "Wang Xifeng has given a salute to his sister-in-law." ”

"Don't be polite, sister-in-law, I still have to apologize to you, it's a sin that I didn't go to congratulate you on your wedding day." Qin Keqing's voice was very gentle.

When Wang Xifeng heard her words, he laughed crisply, "My sister-in-law still understands me, and I'm the one who hates those vulgar etiquette the most." After sweeping, he said to the woman next to Qin Keqing: "This must be Aunt Zhou, right?" My niece is here to salute you. ”

Aunt Zhou saw that Wang Xifeng saluted her, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "I'm just a concubine, how can I afford your gift?" ”

"You can't say that, if you want to say others, you will definitely not be able to accept my courtesy, but you are a famous brand and a person with status, if I don't salute, then it will be my fault." Wang Xifeng spoke very flatteringly, and Aunt Zhou immediately smiled when she heard her words, and almost regarded her as her own daughter.

This is Mama Zhang, who was standing next to Qin Keqing, who spoke, "Two grandmothers, it's cold outside the aunt, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Aunt Zhou came to her senses at this time, she didn't think anything, but what about Qin Keqing, who earned it later? Now Qin Keqing is the treasure in her heart, so she hurriedly pulled Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng into the house together.
