After another night, Chen Xinfu withdrew from the mourning hall, leading Chen Bangyan and Shen Fu's cousins to sweep away the things related to the funeral. Chen's mother's sadness has eased a lot at this time, and when she saw Chen's funeral for three days, her clothes did not disintegrate, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, so she ruthlessly sent Chen back with Shen Fu, Chen Yun, and Shen Xueru on the grounds of her daughter's marriage.

Although the Chen family is reluctant to leave, but people die like lights going out, like snow on the sunny slope, even if they stay, what can they do? What's more, there is no one in the Shen Mansion to preside over the overall situation now, and he doesn't know what kind of field he is making trouble into, so he has to hold back his tears and say goodbye to Chen's mother.

Chen Yun didn't have so much thought, but she was reluctant to give up her mother Jin and younger brother Chen Kechang, and wanted to spend a few more days at home, but the water spilled by her married daughter, and her mother-in-law and husband wanted to go home, how dare she forcibly stay, so she had to pack it silently.

The group boarded the carriage, slowly walked out of the village, and then ran all the way along the Chi Road, and finally arrived at the mansion in the middle of the day.

Entering the inner courtyard, the Chen family took Shen Fu and Chen Yun to Shen's mother in line with the rules. Shen's mother is seventy-six years old, at such an age, when she heard that her father-in-law was sick, she couldn't help but feel sad, sighing that she was old, and I was afraid that her days would not be long.

Chen saw that he had provoked Shen's mother, and couldn't help but regret it, and hurriedly pulled some blessings to divert the topic, how Shen's mother didn't know her thoughts, so she got off the donkey down the slope and said, "You haven't been in the house for the past two days, and you don't know that Qing Yatou gave birth to a big fat boy, right?" ”

Shen Fu asked from the side: "When did this happen?" ”

Mother Shen was stunned for a moment and said, "Just the day before yesterday, I heard that it took a lot of twists and turns, and it took a long time for the girl to give birth. ”

Chen's eyebrows lowered and said, "Since he was born the day before yesterday, shouldn't he wash three tomorrow?" ”

"Exactly, my second daughter-in-law and I were discussing what to show yesterday, and now that you're back, I don't have to bother with this!" Mother Shen said slowly, showing a pleased smile, "According to me, you don't have to send anything valuable, first, it's just a child's washing, and it's not a serious full moon banquet, it doesn't have to make a big buzz, but it makes people laugh; Second, the child is still young, I'm afraid I can't stand Jin Yu, in case of illness and death, it will be our sin! ”

Chen nodded and said, "Then send a few brocade quilts over, and then build a few swaddling horses, a pig and a sheep!" ”

"You have an idea!" Mother Shen said, deliberately taking a look at Chen Yun with her eyes, obviously implying that Chen Yun had children early.

Chen Yun was terrified, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Turning his head out of Le Shou Tang, Chen glanced at the distant sky, sighed to himself, and then looked back at Shen Fu, and said: "Now that the Qixi Festival has passed, in half a month, you should go to Jiangning to study, this time, you have to work hard!" ”

Shen Fu nodded yes.

Chen was sad because of his father's death, and he really didn't have the strength to care about anything else, so he sighed again and was busy sending Shen Fu back.

Shen Fu turned around and wanted to leave, but seeing that Chen Yun refused to leave, he hurriedly made a look.

Chen Yun also gave him a look, motioned for him to take the first step, and then respectfully followed behind Chen and sent him all the way to Yimei Courtyard.

Chen's Shen

I was silent all the way, until I was about to cross the threshold, and then I opened my mouth and said: "I heard that you made a temporary decision to hand over the affairs of the government to Mother Feng, which is a smart move!" ”

The corners of Chen Yun's mouth retracted, and said, "I don't have any extra thoughts, I just see that Feng's mother is old and worthy of trust."

When Chen heard this, he was noncommittal, and only said: "Your grandfather is gone, I have been guarding the spirit for three days in a row, and I have cried a few times in the middle, and I have already lost my energy, and now I really can't take care of these trivial matters in the house, so I have to hand over this burden to you!" ”

Chen Yuncheng was terrified: "Mrs. is very loving, I shouldn't have shirked it, but I just arrived, I am afraid that I can't suppress the people below, but it will ruin my wife's kindness!" ”

A trace of ripples appeared under Chen's pale face, and he said: "Although I can't be called fiery eyes, but at least I have a pair of discerning eyes, how capable you are, I can see it early in the morning." At the moment, you don't have to rush to reject me, let alone mention that the people below are not convinced, really, how can they ever obey anyone? You just need to remember one sentence, more fingers, more words, I dare to put the stewardship in your hands, that is the ability to trust you, in the future, you don't have to be afraid, the dog bites the dog, the pig screams to kill the pig, everything according to the charter, what to do! ”

Chen Yun listened to this, and knew that the Chen family had already intended to let him be a housekeeper, so he didn't shirk it at the moment, but just concentrated on supporting the Chen family.

After entering the house, Chunzhi and Chunwu waited left and right, and Chen's pity for Chen Yun also cried a few times, so they sent her back to rest and told her to be careful of the housekeeper.

Chen Yun responded one by one, turned his head and walked out of Yimei Courtyard, only to see a dazzling red sun in the sky, and couldn't help lowering his eyelashes.

Silently walked a few steps, only to hear someone in the bushes talking, one said: "Hey, this day is really tired of a person, the front wife housekeeper, let's only listen to the wife's orders, the third grandmother's turn to be the housekeeper, let's listen to the third grandmother's instructions again, now the feng shui turns to Feng's mother's hands, we have to listen to her again, I really don't know who else will come out of the housekeeper in the future?" ”

The other said in a persuasive tone: "We are all subordinates, where can we manage the affairs of the top, whoever loves the housekeeper will take care of it, anyway, no matter who is the emperor, and we are not bad for our monthly money, why should we have nothing to do with this leisure?" ”

"The rooster doesn't crow, and the sky is bright, the truth is such a truth, but one person is in charge, one person has one rule, and we must not suffer with it?"

"Hey, a Bodhisattva has a burnt of incense, what else can we do now? Just remember to be careful! ”

Chen Yun heard the five words of caution and thought: "My wife has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, why don't I be careful everywhere?" In the future, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and do everything yourself! ”

Thinking like this, Chen Yun unconsciously arrived near Luomei Courtyard.

The two girls of rhododendron and eucommia were standing in the peony bush pinching flowers, one thought that the other party's hands were heavy, and even the stamens were shaken apart, and the other thought that the other party was chattering, like a little bee buzzing in his ears. was arguing, and suddenly saw Chen Yun walking slowly, and the cuckoo hurriedly came to him with a bouquet of flowers

, greeted: "Grandma go back quickly, Mother Wang just sent lunch!" ”

Chen Yun's face was pale and asked, "Have you shared your meal?" ”

"Just a few bites!" Cuckoo told the truth.

Chen Yun thought that Chen's father had just passed away, everyone felt uncomfortable, and they didn't say much at the moment, slowly drifted back to the plum courtyard, ate half a bowl of rice alone, and then went into the house to look for Shen Fu, only to see him take off his coat and lie in the stepping bed.

Chen Yun thought he was pretending to sleep, so he took a fan and sat on the small pestle to fan the wind and cool off. After a cup of tea, Chen Yun saw that he was still asleep, and faintly snorted, and suddenly knew that he was extremely tired, so he immediately put down the fan, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then withdrew from the house lightly, and turned to Tingyuxuan to drink tea.

After just having a drink, I saw Feng's mother coming in a panic, Chen Yun was afraid that she would wake up Shen Fu, so she hurriedly called someone to listen to Yuxuan's questioning.

Feng's mother was quite interesting, and slowly entered the house, and said to Chen Yun on the one hand, and said, "Grandma just went home after the funeral, why don't you rest more?" ”

Chen Yunshen said leisurely: "Maybe it's because of your youth, you don't feel tired!" As he spoke, he asked Feng's mother again, "Why did my mother come here?" ”

"It's not a big deal, this first village, my wife sent me to hand over the cards to my grandmother for safekeeping, and asked my grandmother to put it away!" Mother Feng said, slowly untied the pair of cards on her waist, and handed it to Chen Yun, "This second village, the master sent Jingrui back to the house to get five hundred taels of silver, saying that it was urgent, and asked grandma to allocate it to Jingrui earlier, so as not to delay the master's business!" ”

Chen Yun was most in awe of her father-in-law Shen Jiafu, as soon as she heard that he sent someone home to get the money, she got up on the throne, went to the side of the case and took a tube of rabbit hair, ink, wrote a note, and then solemnly handed it to Feng's mother, and instructed: "You give this note to Jingrui for me, and when you see it in the account, you will give the money according to the amount!" After that, seeing that Feng's mother still didn't move, she hurriedly asked, "Mom has other things?" ”

Mother Feng smiled faintly: "There are still a few little things to ask grandma to show." This first one, the Qiu Mansion opposite us only got Lin'er, although our house and the Qiu Mansion are not related to each other, and there is no reason, but distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and some false courtesy, it is still inevitable! ”

Chen Yun thought about this reason, nodded and said: "Let's face each other with Qiufu Wangheng, there is a happy event in someone's house, we can't pretend not to know, even so, my mother will look at picking a few things and send them over, and save yourself from talking about us outside!" ”

Feng's mother agreed, and said: "This second thing, the eldest girl sent a letter over there, saying that it was the eighth day of the next lunar month, and she wanted to invite the old lady, wife, grandmother, and young lady to drink the full moon wine!" ”

Chen Yun's eyebrows moved, and she asked, "Did the old lady and a few ladies say they were going?" ”

"The old lady is old and has always disliked participating in such gatherings, and this time is no exception. The eldest lady is the eldest girl's mother-in-law, so she naturally wants to see her grandson, although the second wife and our wife have not said whether to go or not, but according to the rules, they should also go, and the other two grandmothers take care of the top, they should not directly refuse, and the third lady does not need to say, from childhood to adulthood, spleen

The gas has not changed much, and I have always loved to drill in crowded places! ”

Chen Yun listened to her thoughts, and said busily: "Mom is a person with fine needles, you have already thought about it, in this case, all the errands on the day of the banquet will be handed over to my mother, and I ask my mother to bother more!" ”

Feng's mother was happy with the color and said, "Thank you grandma for your attention!" ”

Chen Yun dealt with these few things, but she didn't feel tired, and she didn't want to show weakness in front of others, so she had to send Feng's mother out under the pretext, and then instructed Ruiyun to move the kang table, and reluctantly lay down on the Luohan bed, tasting a product and stealing the taste of floating life for half a day.

Since then, Chen Yun has been working hard and working hard, while being familiar with the personnel in the house, while secretly learning Chen's housekeeping way, and then focusing on the big picture, doing it small, day by day, gradually like the heart of the arm, like the arm of the finger.
