I saw a few graceful backs in the flowers, setting up the curtain and cloud bed with light gauze, playing the game of "splitting the Cao Shoot", and from time to time let out some gentle or delicate, or light exclamations, laughter.

The so-called "Divide Cao Shoot", that is, after grouping in a banquet or amusement, use seasonal sentences as a lead, and guess each other's small gadgets hidden under the cover. This requires a certain level of rhetoric and allusion.

Fortunately, a few older women in the family, from Qingluo, My Lady, Wanting to Hongyao'er, all have the foundation and appreciation ability of corresponding rhetorical cultivation, so it is very fun to see them divided into left and right Cao Lai to guess and shoot.

As for the younger girls, they gathered around the bear, wolf and dog, which were lazily lying on the cloud bed, and carried out the daily feeding, hairing and grooming programs;

Obviously, the natural love for furry and cute things is regardless of age. Therefore, the two little white hairs who had just entered the house soon picked up combs, ribbons and colored ropes, and joined the ranks of the little pendants, houses, and dogs they were carrying.

It's just that looking at the bear wolf dog that is oily and fluffy everywhere on its body, it is more and more evolving towards a meatball. Zhou Huai'an only felt that it had been domesticated at home for a long time, and it seemed to be closer to the feline that could be coquettish, rub the smell, flutter, and lick its paws; Instead of the original wild group that claimed to be a lion who dared to tease and prey on food, hunted beasts of prey.

"Is Zhou Lang here?"

But it was the red medicine that had just been hit twice in a row and was so happy that he blushed with joy, and when he found Zhou Huai'an first, he said softly: Then several other people also got up and saluted:

"Lang Jun is well."

This is a soft and gentle green pothos.

"Lang Jun Wan'an."

Then there is the quiet and charming fair lady of plain Athens.

"I've seen Lang Jun."

followed by the tall, plump and expensive Cui Wanting.

"Don't be polite, sit down, but don't let it ruin your interest."

Zhou Huai'an waved his hand and shook his head; Then he looked at the somewhat restrained atmosphere of the women, and spread his hands again.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can tell me about what you've been doing lately. But it's not smooth. ”

"Thanks to Zhou Lang's concern, the concubine has been doing very well recently, and the people who have taken over have also cooperated very much, so there is really nothing wrong with it. Speaking of which, being able to share the labor and contribute to Lang Jun is one or two, but it makes the concubine and honorable. ”

Cao Hongyao smiled cleverly.

"That's fine, but you don't have to work too hard; Once you are familiar with the operation, you can leave most of the specific things to the people you feel are reliable and competent. ”

Zhou Huai'an nodded in affirmation.

"These things that are beneficial to people's livelihood are important to persevere in doing and practicing, everything is still in the future, there is no need to rush for a while."

Today, these women are roughly divided into three small groups, Cao Hongyao, who naturally has the biggest reputation, and Cui Wanting, the female praise who came over, are considered a group; In Guangzhou, the small pendant calamus and the waiter Qingluo are another group; Then there is the fair lady and her children who have been following each other to keep warm;

In addition, there is no position and no influence to speak of; and can only be used as two little white hairs as mascots and decorations as adopted daughters.

Then, in order to break down and dilute the faint estrangement and alienation tendencies between them, and to strangle certain signs and possibilities of the future at the root; Zhou Huai'an arranged the corresponding division of labor and affairs for them; to kill time and divert attention. ”

For example, Cao Hongyao, who is hidden as the little housemother, is the supervisor of all welfare facilities of the Taiping Army, including the women's camp and the boy camp, as well as the medical and health care and epidemic prevention systems at all levels; At the same time, he is also the initiator of the Mutual Aid Association of the Taiping Military Families.

Therefore, she needs to do not only superficial inspections and visits, but also specific work processes and personnel changes, as well as a breakdown of accounts and expenditures; It's all within the scope of what she can ask.

There is even a regular allocation, with the possibility of additional budgets as appropriate; This is also Zhou Huai'an's disguised compensation for the dowries and manpower that have been gradually used up since she defected alone.

Cui Wanting is responsible for assisting and assisting her in handling these chores, which is also a potential insurance measure. It's not a means against her, but to prevent someone from taking advantage of her kindness and compassion to do something that is contrary to her or wrong, and damage her reputation and enthusiasm.

Qingluo, who first came to her side as a maid, was the person in charge of arranging the housekeeping and food, clothing, and living in the back house; The younger Doudou and Zhu'er were responsible for helping her, reviewing the two lines of income and expenditure separately.

Then Qingluo and My Lady worked together as the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the publicity work related to the song and dance arts, as well as part of the responsibilities of the related creation review. At the same time, it is also the nominal supervision of the touring performance teams and song and dance troupes that are mainly women from the church.

The small pendant calamus is compatible with versatility in a sense: it can be used to pleasing the eye, but also to play with it in the knees, and it can also write documents and record private matters. He also participated in the formulation of some cultural and educational matters by Zhou Huai'an.

Even the youngest two little white hairs, Amber and Emerald, are no exception.

Of course, in addition to continuing to learn the corresponding basic knowledge and other expertise, such as the singing and vocal music taught by Qingluo, and the dance and musical instruments taught by My Fair Lady; calligraphy and painting of small pendants; I also have to follow Doudou and Zhu'er together to share the work of tidying up the housekeeping in the inner room.

As a knowledgeable person, if you want to avoid the risk of being jealous all day long, or all kinds of tearing and petting, the specific way is actually very simple;

It is to arrange the corresponding job responsibilities or formulate a phased study schedule for them according to their interests, hobbies and personality characteristics; And use this as a means of competition and reward and punishment on the bed.

As long as there is something to do most of the time on weekdays, and there is a sense of achievement or gradual progress; At night, they are always forced to love each other calmly, and even take turns to accept the night talk of the same bed;

Over time, there is naturally not much time and energy for intrigue and figuring out and tangling with each other's trivial details and trivialities. And the expansion of horizons and knowledge have increased, and there is a direction of joint efforts and competition, and it is not easy to worry more about the temporary gains and losses and interests in the back house.

In addition, according to the new system of the Hou Zhai, Zhou Huai'an will also pay regular allowances and subsidies for specific matters according to the affairs and responsibilities he is responsible for, on the basis of his personal personal body money and fat powder money paid monthly. This is both a long-term system and a ritual of family life.

After all, as a woman who has an intimate relationship around her, she may have children in the future; Let him work for himself during the day and be worked by himself at night, except for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he has not a dime of exploitation, this kind of thing is still impossible for Zhou Huai'an, who has received a socialist education.

What's more important is that they can satisfy their respective interests and professional tendencies, and get a sense of accomplishment and phased results, while also some meanings and psychological hints of realizing additional life value, self-reliance, self-help and self-improvement.

Of course, if there are really people in the future who don't want to be bothered by mundane things, and just want to make a quiet vase and beautiful decorations all day long, Zhou Huai'an doesn't mind leaving such a place by his side. But surprisingly, almost all the women chose the former at the first time he made the suggestion.

In this way, their focus has gradually shifted from relying on themselves to obtain a position of power, and has gradually shifted to how to achieve something and make more influence in the corresponding field.

This can be regarded as maintaining a virtuous cycle of competition in the future. As for the longer-term future, there are undoubtedly more possibilities, but they have already been considered by Zhou Huai'an.

- I'm the dividing line -

And in the north of Henan Province, on the bank of Onozawa in Yunzhou.

The things and crises that Cao Ling feared did not happen after all; Because the other party quickly stopped his mouth with interest, and hurriedly dismounted and came to salute and greet respectfully.

And the scope of the small ya-nai is really a bit wide, and it can basically be used in any official eunuch home involving military duties, especially with the proliferation of the imperial court to confer titles, whether it is the deputy Sima of the state, or the local semi-self-defended town envoy, regardless of whether there is an official or not, dare to let people call it "Yanei".

In addition, the military academy that recognized him was a defense cabinet of his father, Cao Quanyang, and he could be regarded as an old man who followed him. For a while, Cao Ling did not worry about the crisis of identity exposure, but gained the coordination and help of returning to Yuncheng.
