Chapter 69: Taking charge of the Xia Mansion

From Xinzheng to Zhuye, Wu Mengyao turned gorgeously from Princess Ji Shao to Chen Ji, and in the past few months, Wu Mengyao herself feels like a dream every time.

When she walked up to Qu Hao's heavy truck with a box full of clothes on the day of Qingming Festival, she never dreamed that three months later, she would become the wife of the minister of the ancient Chen State, and the dowry she brought from Xinzheng was enough to put her on the side of Chen Guofu.

Although Uncle Xia Yu has passed the age of not being confused, but the beautiful move of marrying the first beauty of Zheng Guo has become a bright color in the dull winter of Zhuye, it seems that marriage advocates the appearance of talented women since ancient times.

However, as mentioned earlier, Uncle Xia Yu, who served in the court, could not hide his frustration in officialdom on the surface. As the Grand Sima of the State of Chen, he was supposed to be in charge of all the power of the army of the State of Chen, but the monarch of the State of Chen had vacated most of his power and placed it in the hands of his other cronies Fan Rui and Guan Kui, and the appointment of some army officers without even his consent made him extremely angry but helpless.

Marrying back to Princess Zheng Guo, Uncle Yu just made his incomplete family look complete. In fact, Uncle Yu had heard by chance how Princess Zheng Guo was wandering, but he didn't believe it very much, and later Zijuan came to tell the princess that she was pregnant, and he felt that it was not groundless, but he was moved by Zijuan's words, coupled with the vanity in his heart, so he made up his mind to marry the princess.

However, in the past few days, I have been in contact with her along the way, and I feel that the princess is actually a very traditional woman in her heart, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and reasonable, which makes him deeply satisfied, and he is confident that with such a woman by his side, he will definitely have a prosperous family business and a prosperous career.

Uncle Xia's mansion was fully managed by the housekeeper Kong Mao before Chen Ji got married. Uncle Xia Yu's court is busy with affairs, and he has no time to take care of the complicated and trivial matters at home, while Kong Mao looks quite reliable, and he can speak well with a mouth, and a few words of compliment will lead people to the clouds.

And after Xia Ji came to the Xia family's mansion, this loyal housekeeper came to report to the new hostess no matter how big or small, and his respectful demeanor was touching, and he would definitely be relieved to give him the ownership boldly if he was replaced by another person.

It's a pity that Xia Ji is not such a foolish person, her biological father is a domineering boss who manages a large enterprise, so she has also heard and witnessed many things that are submissive in front and stabbed in the back, and learned to see through the essentials of these tricks.

Xia Ji observed in the mansion for a few days, the seemingly orderly Xia Mansion was actually quite chaotic, the responsibilities of the servants were not clear, no one did what should be done, and there were many people doing what could be done by one person; Some people are tired to death, while most people are idle.

Natsuhime is determined to carry out reforms in the Xia Mansion to eliminate all kinds of evils, and after obtaining the consent of the imperial uncle, she will take over the management of the entire mansion.

The first thing Xia Ji did was to check the accounts, and she asked Kong Mao to bring the account book to her for a look.

I didn't expect that the accounts that Kong Mao took were messy, all the records were running accounts, there was no classification, there were no vouchers, and there was no fixed amount for salary payment. Kong Mao was in charge of the appointment, salary, and retention of everyone in the Xia Mansion, and he had the power alone, and all the accounts were in a mess, which made Xia Ji very annoyed. Xia Ji understands that if this goes on for a long time, these management loopholes will be like a leaky pot of water, and no matter how big the family business is, it will flow cleanly.
