The Zhao Jia clan had been to Wutong Garden before, but this time it was obvious that something was different.

The maids stood respectfully under the corridor, and there were rules when they lifted the curtains and leaned over. All of them became like wooden people, and they didn't squint.

Zhao Jia's family only heard that he was from the palace, but he didn't know what his identity was. Now that I see everyone like this, I wonder if it is the uncle and wife of a relative's family, but I haven't heard the news that Fujin is coming?

Mama Zhang and the big girl Lu Ju next to Zhao Jia's side followed Zhao Jia's and were also a little careful. Green Ju Sixteen, the granddaughter of Mama Zhang, only came to Zhaojia's side last year to wait.

According to Mama Zhang's meaning, she had long wanted to arrange for her granddaughter to be Cao Song's housekeeper, so she would look at the jade dragon and the jade spider very unpleasantly. In the face of the Zhao Jia family, there was a lot of right and wrong, and he wanted to pry the Zhao Jia family to drive the two of them out of the house.

Although Zhao Jia's precautions were tight in the early years, after her husband was gone, she looked down on these things. The left and right are liked by the son, and it is not good for the sake of the two girls, who alienate the mother-son relationship. Therefore, she just gave Jade Dragon and Jade Spider two rules of teaching.

In order to appease Mama Zhang, Zhao Jia's family promoted Lu Ju to be a big girl, thinking that after Cao Song and their brothers married each other, they would see which one to give her to.

Entering the main hall, Chu Yu didn't come out to greet him, and Zhao Jia's couldn't help but be a little annoyed. Even if she has a noble status, after all, she is a nephew and daughter-in-law, so do you want her to be an aunt before she moves.

At the door of the west room, there are two maids standing on the left and right. Seeing Zhao Jia's coming in, the two said in unison: "Gege, the second wife has arrived!" ”

Zhao Jiashi slowed down, and saw the door curtain opened, Chu Yu walked out with a smile, and said, "The second wife is here, and I forgive Chu Yu for not coming away to greet her, please sit in the second wife's room." With that, he stood sideways at the door, waiting for Zhao Jiashi to enter.

Zhao Jiashi nodded slightly, and entered the room with his neck tilted. Mama Zhang and Aster followed Zhao Jia's inside.

The two girls standing here at the side door are Xiyan and Xixia, and when they saw Mama Zhang and the two of them so unruly, they actually walked in Chu Yu's head, and they were all indignant.

However, thinking of Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang who came over in the morning, Xiyan and Xixia glanced at each other, showed a little smile, pricked up their ears, and waited to listen to the excitement.

When Zhao Jiashi entered the house, he saw two women in flag costumes standing next to the kang, one wearing an indigo flag suit and the other wearing a blue-gray flag suit. Both of them are in their thirties, with two haircuts and two velvet flowers on their heads, and their faces are very solemn.

If it weren't for the velvet flowers they wore on their heads that were colored, Zhao Jia's would only think it was a widow relative of a certain family. Judging by the way these two men were dressed, they looked more like widows than her.

Zhao Jia's pace slowed down, and he looked back at Chu Yu, wondering if he knew how to greet him. Looking at these two women, although they look a little magnificent, they don't have any pearls and emeralds on their bodies, and they don't look like they came from rich families.

It won't be a poor relative of the palace, come over to fight the autumn breeze, right? Zhao Jia's family was still pondering to himself, so he heard Chu Yu say: "Second wife, these two aunts came from the palace, and Fujin specially invited me to help me and come to our house to make offerings!" As he spoke, he said to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang: "Two aunts, this is the second wife!" ”

"Offering" sounds good, but it's just a slave. When Zhaojia didn't follow his father when he was young, he also followed his cousins and cousins in Zhaojia's mansion to learn the rules with his aunt.

In a new way, the fourth sister will be five years old, and the fifth sister will be four years old, so it is also worry-free to ask the "offerings" from the two palaces to take care of them. Thinking like this, Zhao Jiashi said to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang: "Since you are on an errand in the house, you must know whose money you took, remember to be diligent and cautious, and teach the girls well!" ”

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang were originally leaning over to salute Zhaojia's family, but when they heard this, their bodies stiffened, and they both knew it in their hearts. It seems that this second wife is not an understanding person, and she is used to taking a big one.

The two of them had flat faces, and they all finished saluting according to the rules. Seeing Mama Zhang standing behind Zhaojia in a daze, and receiving the salute from the two of them, both of them were very uncomfortable.

Zhao Jiashi was already sitting on the side of the kang, Aster retreated to the side and stood, and Mama Zhang looked around for a small pestle or something.

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang glanced at the beaded hairpin ring on the head of the aster, and looked at Mama Zhang's shaking her head, showing a hint of disdain in her expression.

These two men stood there with solemn expressions. When Zhao Jiashi saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable, glanced at it, and said to Chu Yu: "What are you looking for me?" There are so many people in this room that my eyes are dazzled, so let's get out! The latter sentence was said to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang.

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang straightened their bodies, as if they hadn't heard of it.

Zhao Jia's face was a little unbearable, he lowered his face, and looked at Chu Yu with a fierce look.

Chu Yu sighed in her heart, according to her original intention, she really wanted to be a harmonious family, and she didn't want to make such a mess. However, there are many people and many things, if you don't sort it out, do you still have to worry about housework?

Chu Yu called someone to bring tea up, and said to Zhao Jia's with a smile: "I asked the second wife to come over today, I am discussing one thing!" ”

Because of these words, Zhao Jia's family also saw that his niece and daughter-in-law were a soft-faced and soft-hearted person, so they had less scruples about her status as the county lord.

She pondered for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it! ”

Chu Yu said: "Didn't the second wife say a while ago that she felt sorry for Chu Yu's heavy body, and wanted to call a few grandmothers and daughters-in-law to help Chu Yu take care of the housework?" ”

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he nodded and said: "That's right, you are the only daughter-in-law of the long house, this is a big deal, but you don't dare to mess around!" ”

Chu Yu said with a smile: "I know that the second wife loves Chu Yu, since this is the case, the second wife will choose a few people to come over." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "It's just that they have always been on errands in the south, so they came to the north." The rules in this capital are different from the rules of the place, and it just so happened that Fujin arranged for two aunts to come over. Before these two aunts left the palace, they were the deacons of Chuxiu Palace, who specialized in teaching rules. With their help, everyone must be able to learn the rules. Save the future errand mistakes and lose face. ”

Zhao Jiashi was still happy when he heard the front, but when he heard the back, he felt that something was wrong. She snorted coldly and said, "What is this called, is it because the people around me don't understand the rules?" ”

Chu Yu smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that. Even the subordinates in the original house will also be taught by the two aunts. Uncle is not a person with a patient surname, usually said that he is most tired of the house has a lot of things, if everyone slacks off, it will cause the uncle to be annoyed, and then the house will have to reduce the population. In the past few years, the uncle has released a few stubbles, and the second wife also knows it. ”

Zhao Jia's family was choked and speechless, she has been in Beijing for half a year, Cao Hao has been out with her most of the time, and she has been in the house for more than a month.

Even Cao Hao is in the house, on Zhaojia's side, it is just a process, accompanied by a few words of family life.

Zhao Jiashi secretly scolded himself for being confused, this nephew had the right idea to play small. If the person below really made a mistake, maybe he would take this opportunity to clean up everyone around her.

Zhao Jiashi pursed his lips and said, "Don't bother you, since you are my person, I don't need your nephew and daughter-in-law to come forward to discipline me!" ”

Chu Yu was not surprised when she heard this, and said with a light smile: "Second wife, what about the errand?" It's not good for a family to come out with two sets of rules, otherwise wouldn't it be without a charter? ”

Before Zhao Jiashi could speak, he heard Aunt Luo say: "Gege, Fujin said that Da Gege is tender and tender, and he is not a good family, and the people in the house are afraid that they are naughty." The slave maid and the others didn't believe it, thinking that since it was the earl's mansion and the official family, even if it was not as good as the palace, this rule could not be worse. Now it seems that Fu Jin is worried, even if the slaves and maids have only been here for half a day, they can't see it! ”

Chu Yu stopped smiling and said to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang: "I know this, it's mostly mine." For the peace of the house, in the future, I will have to bother the two aunts more! ”

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang listened, leaned over and said: "This is a matter for the slaves and maids, and it will definitely live up to the trust of the slaves, but the slaves and maids have just arrived, if there are those who rely on their qualifications and face to disobey, please also ask Gege to be the master of the slaves and maids." ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Well, I know this!" Since it is fully entrusted to the two, it will naturally not make the two embarrassed! ”

Aunt Chang glanced at Zhao Jia's and asked Chu Yu, "There is a sentence, I don't know if the slave should ask or not?" ”

Chu Yu smiled: "What's the matter, it's okay for my aunt to ask?" ”

Aunt Chang solemnly said, "I don't know if the second wife lives in the mansion permanently, or does she live here temporarily?" ”

Zhao Jia's family thought that Chu Yu was pretending to be a gesture, that is, using the henchman housekeeper who came from the palace to turn away the daughters-in-law on the second side, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Hearing Aunt Chang's words mention herself, she glanced at Aunt Chang with a cold face and asked, "What?" Does this aunt have to make rules for me first? ”

Aunt Chang bowed her head slightly and said, "The second wife is laughing, the slave doesn't dare!" It's just that 'the country has national laws, and the family has family rules', and people are naughty and chewing their tongues and unruly, which is nothing more than the result of lax family rules and the master's benevolence. If the second wife lives in the house temporarily, she only needs to restrain the few people to save trouble; If the second wife lives in the house permanently, there is no reason to follow two sets of rules. ”

Chu Yu's expression had faded, and Aunt Chang's sonorous words made Zhao Jia's more and more annoyed.

She immediately stood up from the kang, turned to look at Chu Yu and said, "Listen to what she said, but what do you mean?" Is this to see that my widow and aunt are not pleasing to the eye, and want to drive me away? Don't forget, this is Cao's Mansion, not your Gege Mansion! "In the end, it's already a great voice.

Before she finished speaking, she heard a "snap" and a slap.

Mama Zhang, who had just found a small pestle and sat down, had already gotten up, covered half of her face, and said to Zhaojia with a crying voice: "Second wife, who is the old slave recruiting to provoke whom?" ”

Zhao Jiashi looked at it, it was Aunt Luo who made the shot, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What kind of thing are you?" It's just an old girl who can't get married, who came out to shave food, who gave you the courage to sprinkle here? ”

Aunt Luo dared to make a move to Mama Zhang in order to help Chu Yu break the siege, and she had already waited for Zhaojia's family.

In the end, he has been in the palace for more than ten years, and his joy and anger are invisible. She raised her chin and said clearly, "This old slave doesn't know the rules too much. The master did not ask to sit, but sat down by himself, which is one of them; The master was annoyed, and he didn't come forward to persuade him, but he looked at the excitement as if he was nothing, which is the second; After sitting, he crossed his legs and rushed at his master with his feet, not knowing how to be humble, this is the third. Such a minion, changed in another mansion, would have already called a board to go! ”

Zhao Jia's body trembled with anger, and said angrily: "Even if you don't know the rules, it's not your turn to discipline!" Fighting a dog still depends on the owner, don't you fight whose power you have and don't put me in your eyes? ”

Aunt Luo didn't respond immediately, but took out a list from her sleeve and said, "The slave and maid have already checked in the account room, and there are a total of ninety-four maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law who are on errands in the second gate. In the courtyard of the second wife, there are a total of 33 people. Although the house has not yet been separated, if the second wife wants to control these people herself, it is not for the slaves and maids to interject. Otherwise, there is no one to pay the monthly money from the account, and the sixty-one here must abide by the family rules, and the thirty-three over there do not have to abide by the reason. Since the slave and maid have taken over the errand of 'worship', they naturally have to be disciplined, and please don't embarrass the slaves and maids! ”

Aster was standing aside, but when she saw her grandmother being slapped, she couldn't help but come out and wanted to step forward to help her. I listened to Aunt Chang on the side and asked, "This girl, dare to ask you ......?"

Although Aster looked at them and squeezed the second wife's grief and indignation, she was afraid of the momentum of the two, so she didn't dare to talk back, and whispered: "Back to my aunt, the slave is called Aster, and she is waiting by the second wife's side." ”

"Oh? It's a girl, not a girl! Aunt Chang's voice turned cold, and she said solemnly to Chu Yu: "Gege, the people in the house are going to rectify and rectify it, I haven't heard that the maid in the house dares to apply grease and powder, and her hair is full of pearls!" There are several young masters in this house who are not married, if there is a naughty maid and causes trouble, it will be the face of the house that will be lost! ”

Zhao Jiashi saw that after they beat Mama Zhang, they came to pick the aster again, and they were so angry that they raised their necks and fainted......*
