[Chapter Word Count:3054 Last Updated:2015-02-1611:00:00.0]

"Ah Xia gives tea to the eldest sister, eldest sister, please drink tea!" Ah Xia knelt in front of Zhang Cuiyun, raised the plate, and respectfully toasted tea.

Zhang Cuiyun took a sip of tea, took a red envelope from Xiaomei's hand and put it on the plate, then put the teacup on the red envelope, and said with a straight face: "In the future, you will serve the master well......

The simplest woman has three obedience and four virtues, which is also the most decent command of the eldest woman to her when each concubine enters the door.

"Ah Xia obeys the teachings of the eldest sister."

Zhang Cuiyun took off a silver hairpin from her hair, inserted it on Ah Xia's headdress, and said with a smile: "Get up." ”

After Ah Xia handed the tea tray to Xiaoyun behind her, Zhang Cuiyun pointed to the empty seat on her right and said, "Sit here!" ”

On Wang Shihua's left, Wang Ji'an sits, and on the right sits Zhang Cuiyun.

Even if the housewife officially recognized the identity of the second lady of Axia, the simple ceremony ended here. And Zhang Cuiyun's gentleness has come to an end, everyone understands that next, it should be a display of the majesty of the housewife, not to mention that she is still a resolute character, and the rooms and subordinates of the Wang family immediately saw her clever iron-fisted methods.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the Iron Bull.

It's also strange that Wang Shihua is still a little uncomfortable with Tie Niu's existence, and always treats him as a normal person. No, he didn't tell Tie Niu to eat outside, and Tie Niu naturally followed with an iron rod. And others were used to Tie Niu's figure yesterday, and they didn't care about him, and thought that Wang Shihua was doing this on purpose, it was not easy to look at it, and it was not easy to remind.

"Gollum~!"

Hearing a strange sound behind him, Wang Shihua looked back curiously, but saw Tie Niu standing behind him with a stick, his eyes staring directly at the hearty breakfast, and his mouth open.

"Tie Niu, bring that chair over and have breakfast with everyone."

Tie Niu hurriedly ran over excitedly, and sat between Wang Shihua and Wang Ji'an with a chair, without any sense of dignity and humility, but picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a bowl of food, and then picked up the stick and ran out.

"Tie Niu, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to bring food to my grandma."

"I ......" Seeing that Tie Niu had disappeared at the door, Wang Shihua had to smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Shihua, I think you should let Tie Niu go aside to eat, right?"

"Daddy, his brain is a little bad, but he is still very loyal." Wang Shihua euphemistically expressed his protest to Daddy: Although it is not in accordance with the rules for the host's family to eat, a subordinate is on the table, but Wang Shihua doesn't care, but wants to use this to gain the gratitude of his subordinates.

"I know what you're thinking, and I've never objected, the last time you brought a stone to the table for dinner, did you see what I said?" Wang Ji'an smiled: "But you probably don't know that when Tie Niu had dinner yesterday afternoon, he was scared to death because of the large amount of food...... Think about it, our table of food is not enough for him to eat alone, why do you let us eat? ”

Wang Shihua smiled bitterly in relief, and was about to speak, but Zhang Cuiyun on the side shouted out: "Little butler, you come in." ”

Jiang Shoucheng hurriedly ran in, stood respectfully in front of Zhang Cuiyun, and asked, "What does Madam have to order?" ”

"Go and tell the kitchen that in the future, Tie Niu and his aunt's meals must be cooked raw, and they can eat whatever they want. The overspending part came out of my private money. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ji'an nodded with satisfaction, but the eyes of each room were low.

Wang Shihua is not nominally the head of the family, but Zhang Cuiyun, whether in name or in reality, has been the housewife since the moment she took over the key from Wang Ji'an in public. It is said that she has no private money, after all, the economic lifeline of the entire Wang family is in her hands. In reality, however, her rich dowry was nominally hers personally...... To put it bluntly, she wants to seal everyone's mouths, lest someone say that Wang Shihua treats Tie Niu differently, which makes people jealous and brings unnecessary trouble.

Of course, Wang Ji'an was satisfied with this hand, but his little wives were unhappy: in a sense, this was a kind of warning to kill chickens and monkeys, which naturally aroused their vigilance. After all, each house has its own private way to get money, God knows if Zhang Cuiyun will do it?

Not long after Jiang Shoucheng ran out, he saw Tie Niu running back with a bowl.

"Tie Niu, is your grandma having breakfast?"

"Eat." Tie Niu put down the bowl, but he didn't dare to sit down, touched his red right ear, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma twisted my ear again, saying that I don't understand the rules, and if I dare to sit here to eat again, I will break my legs, and let me apologize to everyone." ”

"Forget it, forget it, Tie Niu, I'm afraid our table of meals is not enough for you to eat alone, so I won't invite you to sit down. However, I've got the kitchen to make a new table for you, so go eat it. ”

"Good!" The Iron Bull answered, and ran out in a hurry.

At this time, seeing that the next person was going to serve rice to everyone, Xiaomei on the side suddenly asked, "Wait a minute, is it the layer of rice steamed in the middle of the anvil?" ”

Wang Shihua knew that the rule of 'middle rice' was coming again, and it was not easy to make a sound, so he had to bow his head and pretend to drink tea.

Sure enough, after seeing the girl shaking her head, under everyone's gaze, Xiaomei said: "How can there be a reason in the world that people eat better than the master?" Let's go and fetch the layer of rice in the middle of the anvil. ”

Then he bowed to everyone and explained the reason.

is worthy of being a maid from a big family, what she said is reasonable, well-founded and polite, although she is a little presumptuous, but she obviously has Zhang Cuiyun's permission. Of course, this can also be understood as Zhang Cuiyun's second warning to all the rooms and subordinates in the palace: the new master is in charge, and she is respected.

Each room had to endure it for the time being: Wang Ji'an's era is over, and now he is equivalent to a semi-retired emperor, and he will definitely not argue with his daughter-in-law for the way a concubine eats.

Soon, when everyone was eating silently and eating silently, they heard the crisp collision between bowls outside.

"What's going on out there?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Tie Niu happily stood by the door and replied: "Young master, I have been thinking just now: I want to eat and protect you, it is not good to be too far away, so I will carry the table and the food to the door, so that I can protect you while eating." Master, I'm smart, right? ”

"Clever, so smart." The anger in his heart disappeared instantly, and Wang Shihua smiled happily: "Tie Niu, you will eat like this in the future." ”

"Good!"

Afterwards, the dining room ate quietly, but the door crackled like an iron tube, and from time to time there was the sound of whirring soup. In this regard, Zhang Cuiyun, who gave people the impression of being 'blind and exquisite' as soon as he came up, ignored it directly, and even asked Xiaomei to send a pot of wine to Tie Niu.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed, and Wang Shihua, Zhang Cuiyun and others came out together.

Wang Shihua has something to do today: Ergouzi actually kidnapped Huahua, but he didn't bring Yang Guangming. But as soon as he went out, he saw the various stewards in the family waiting respectfully not far away under the leadership of the old housekeeper Uncle Jiang.

"Cuiyun, they are all old people in the family, let's do it lightly."

Zhang Cuiyun glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and also whispered back: "Don't think I don't understand this, sue you, since the competition to choose a relative to get married, for more than a year, my family has been teaching me this kind of things...... If you are gone, you will be able to deal with your major affairs with peace of mind in the future, and I will have the affairs of the family. If I don't take care of it, it's never too late for you to talk about it. ”

No wonder you euphemistically issued the battle horn after having breakfast just now, and thought you couldn't wait to show the majesty of the master, feelings! You're prepared.

In fact, Wang Shihua is not used to the mess at home: a side house, he dares to use the family's armed forces to escort opium for her uncle, and he doesn't even say hello to himself, is this okay? But everyone is a direct relative, and they have been together for many years, and it is not easy for him to tear his face if he has a good face; second, as soon as he took over the family affairs, he was not good at being heavy-handed as soon as he came, leaving a bad impression on everyone as a son of heaven and a courtier; Three, the big events outside have made him tired of coping, and he can't care about dealing with these abscesses inside that haven't been squeezed for a while.

Now that it's good, it's much more convenient for Zhang Cuiyun to make a move. Even if you really cause a big mess, you can come forward again, so that anything in the family can have room for maneuver.

Wang Shihua nodded, didn't say anything, but was a little curious about Zhang Cuiyun's ability, so he followed her back to his courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Wang Shihua couldn't help but look back at Zhang Cuiyun, and shook his head with a wry smile: In the courtyard, the camel took the descendants of the Zhang family to marry: ten men, ten women, everyone stood there with water and fire sticks. Obviously, Zhang Cuiyun wants to clean up the subordinates with an iron fist first, and then deal with each room from the bottom to the top.

Wang Shihua sat behind the screen, drinking tea, waiting for Cairo to sing in the lobby outside the screen.

"Listen up, the master mother speaks." Xiaomei and the camel stood on both sides of the door, and Xiaomei shouted with a cold face: "The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" You are all in charge of affairs at various gates, and whether your subordinates are indulgent and misbehave is all in your hearts. Therefore, if they are at fault, it is all because you did not discipline them well and guide them on weekdays, and the responsibility lies with you...... The mistress has always had clear rewards and punishments. She said that the previous events will not be investigated, but from now on, if anyone dares to have a bad heart and break the rules, then don't blame the housewife for not being emotional, and turning her face and denying people without greeting you in advance! Did you hear it all? ”

"Hear me."

"Now, first of all, invite the old butler and the little butler to come in and meet the mistress."

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Shoucheng hurriedly entered the door and kowtowed to Zhang Cuiyun respectfully...... The first official visit was an expression of humility and one's status at home.

waited until the father and son kowtowed three times before Zhang Cuiyun let them get up.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Cuiyun smiled, but said lightly......
