The two grandmothers of King Chun's Mansion went back, and praised Cao Jiayuanzi, and then talked about the people in the house, first said that the forehead master had no concubine room, and then mentioned Amethyst.

Zhu'er had a few maids, but Mama Esuri didn't take it too seriously, but Amethyst made her worried, and she couldn't help but talk to King Chun Fujin about Amethyst's appearance and identity, and said: "Now the affairs of the Cao family's inner house are all held by this girl." If...... Fujin still has to make an idea early. ”

Chunwang Fujin listened, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Listen to what you say, this girl is not able to keep it because she was brought to him by Ebu when she was a child, and there is no nursing mother and mother in Eju's house, she can manage the inner house, and she must be a close person of Eyu." In this way, the girl should not only be moved, but also respected. Otherwise, isn't it a slap in the face? If there is a gap in our hearts, we can suppress the small couple together, but we can't suppress harmony. Besides, it's not a matter of pressure. ”

The two grandmothers nodded yes hurriedly.

Chunwang Fujin paused and said: "Don't talk to Da Ge Gehun when you go back, her surname is sparse and open-minded, and she is not a multi-minded person. Although she has taught Da Gege a lot of things about the family in the past year, she has only preached and taught, and she has not really made her hold on to any major things. You should mention to her that this girl is good, and tell her to give this girl more dignity in the past, and if this girl respects her and helps her, no one in the house will be dissatisfied. ”

Seeing that Mama Esuri was a little embarrassed, Mama Guerjia smiled and said to Fujin: "The old slaves are also a big heart, but where is this vision worthy of Fujin?" In the end, Fujin thinks about it thoroughly, we are blindly worried and think left. ”

Chunwang Fujin smiled: "I know that you two are very good. In fact, you are too worried, you have seen Pingjun Wang Fujin many times, and you know that she is a first-class proper person, and she acts the most safely, since she can bring that girl to Xiaoding, what else do you have to worry about? ”

The two grandmothers laughed together, and then retired to see Fang Fujin and Da Gege.

* Sent away the grandmothers of King Chun's mansion, and the maids and daughters in the inner house breathed a sigh of relief. When the county palace sent the grandmother to teach the young lady who was still a show girl, they had learned the power of the princess.

The two who came today are the grandmothers of the prince's mansion, they are all well-behaved and square, although they are rigid but not sharp, although they are not domineering, but the majesty revealed in their bones is daunting. When those maids stood beside them, they couldn't help but hold their breath and be careful, for fear that something would be wrong.

When they left, several of the daughters-in-law in charge couldn't help but come over and say a few words to Amethyst, and the grandmother of the prince's mansion was not easy to get along with. Amethyst said with a smile: "The temperament of the Heavenly Family is extraordinary, but it is not to treat people for nothing, but the rules are stricter." Let's just be careful in the future. ”

A few people knew it, and they talked and laughed, and Zhu'er and Cui'er looked at Amethyst and stopped, but they didn't say anything, and they went quietly.

Amethyst took care of the accounts, took a cup of tea and rested for a while, took the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in her hand, spread it out and read a paragraph, and twisted the rosary on her hand to remember what was on her mind. When the new mistress enters the house, it will be considered a complete merit, and it is time to go back to the south. After handing over all the affairs of the house, I will go back to the south and find a small nunnery, and ...... quietly While she was thinking about it, the little maid outside came to report that the vanilla lady Zhang Gen's family had something to see, and Amethyst hurriedly let her in.

Zhang Gen's family was short, and Amethyst smiled and said hello and let her sit. Zhang Genjia politely said a few words, and then said: "I came to ask the girl to give me an idea, and I saw that the third girl was out of the cabinet, reasoning, my vanilla should accompany the past, but after all, the vanilla is beyond the age of the companion room...... This isn't proper after all......"

Amethyst smiled: "It turns out that my aunt is here for this." Didn't the uncle and the third girl explain before, Vanilla is willing to follow her; If not, then you will find your own relatives and families, and the house will release people. ”

Zhang Genjia sighed: "I don't hide it from the girl, although I was asked to marry by the grace of the uncle, but we didn't dare to break the rules, and we should have found it in the family slaves." It's just that Vanilla is old, and the young people in the house who are quite old have already got married......"

Amethyst said: "I understand what the aunt means, but our uncle and the third girl's surname and aunt should also know, since you have been allowed to marry on your own, you will not be bound to the people in the house." Since my aunt still can't let go of the rules, I'll ask for my aunt again, so that my aunt can rest assured. ”

Zhang Gen's family was busy: "Annoying the girl. ”

Amethyst smiled and nodded: "Auntie is polite, and wait for Xin'er!" ”

After sending Zhang Gen's family away, Amethyst went to the bamboo courtyard to see Cao Yi. When I entered the door, I saw Cao Yi busy embroidering.

Amethyst came over to ask for peace, and looked at the pattern of her kang stall, which was a picture of a hundred sons. A splendid pomegranate blossom is like a fire, and there are pomegranates with knots between the branches, the seeds are full, and the red is dripping, which not only means that the son is prosperous but also a metaphor for many sons and grandchildren, which is the auspicious pattern of He Xinxi.

Seeing Amethyst smiling on her face, Cao Yi couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly said: "Sister Amethyst, don't laugh, this is not embroidered for me, it is embroidered for my brother and sister-in-law's ......."

Amethyst smiled, took the embroidery and looked at it, and said, "It is indeed excellent." I just don't know what the girl is going to do. ”

Cao Yi said: "I still want to ask my sister." Sister looks at this picture and may frame it into a small kang screen with four fans? ”

Cao Yi wanted to make a congratulatory object for his brother, but the newlyweds' clothes, shoes, hats, quilts, and pillows were all said to be "Quanfu people" to do it, so as to borrow blessings, Cao Yi had to think elsewhere. She originally planned to embroider a curtain and spread cloth, but after looking for a pattern comparison, she felt that it was not very interesting, and finally thought of making an embroidered screen, which was both auspicious and good-looking, so she started.

Amethyst took a look at the picture with her hand, nodded and said, "It's done." When I turned around, I asked someone to send a kang screen and let the girl choose. After the embroidery, it was sent directly to frame. ”

Cao Yi thanked him with a smile, and then asked, "Is my sister sitting here, or is there something?" ”

Amethyst told Cao Yi about the vanilla that Zhang Gen's family said just now, and said: "They always abide by the rules, and they don't dare to rashly look for people from outside, so they have to ask the girl to send a message to make them feel at ease." ”

Cao Yi said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang has always been cautious, this is for fear of being rude to my brother, so I came to ask you for advice." In fact, my brother is the most reasonable person. My sister is worried about this, I'll go and tell Aunt Zhang, I need to find a good family for vanilla to feel at ease. ”

Amethyst answered. In the evening, when Cao Hao returned home from work, Amethyst went back to Cao Hao one by one.

After hearing about the vanilla, Cao Hao nodded: "I promised to let them find it at will." Look at which matchmaker to say, you don't have to care about anything inside and outside the house. Vanilla is a good girl, thanks to her for protecting Ping'er, and she has always been loyal, and when she gets married, we should also give some dowry with a thick escort. ”

As for other things, he was originally called Amethyst's carte blanche agent, and he just occasionally made a decision, but now that he is at work, he has no time and no heart to take care of his family's affairs.

* The household department is not as "turbulent" as Cao Hao imagined, and it seems to be calm on the surface, and then it is like a marquee personnel replacement.

On the fourth day of October, Shang Shumu and Lun came to sit in the church; the seventh day of the first month; The left deputy capital Yushi and the governor of the Shuntian Mansion Yin Shi Shi Shi were appointed as the right attendants of the household department; Twelve, Heshen, the left attendant of the household department, begged for rest due to illness, and Kangxi agreed; Twenty, the right waiter of the transfer department enters Thailand, and is the left waiter.

Promoted to Gansu Governor Eqi, for the right servant of the household department.

There are a total of six officials in the household department, except for the Manchu and Han Shangshu, which is the Manchu and Han left and right servants. Although according to the system, it is the Manchu officials who are respected, but in fact, the directors are all Han officials. Now, in addition to the newly appointed Manshang Shumu Helun, the right attendant Shi Shilun and the right attendant Lang Eqi are newcomers, Han Shangshu Zhang Pengxi and the left attendant Lang Ta Jintai arrived in the household department last year. Only the left waiter, Zhang Shijue, is regarded as an old man here.

Li Qichang, the Langzhong of the Fujian Division, is in his forties, and he was originally a foreigner, but he was also promoted in September. Although Cao Hao is young and not from a professional class, Li Qichang does not dare to slack off and is very polite to him. Everyone is a Beijing official, who is the bottom line, and it will be clear within two or three days. Cao Hao slipped out casually with an identity, and it was not something that such a petty official could afford to provoke.

In addition to being in charge of Fujian's finances, the Fujian Department is also responsible for the civil affairs of the Zhili, the Tianjin sea tax, the Dongxiling, Rehe, and Miyun garrisons, the dairy cattle and horse herding decrees, the Wenwu Township Association trial supply, and the five cities of the Su Relief Department, etc., which can be regarded as the busy yamen among the 14 departments of the household department.

In addition to one Lang Zhong and one member of the Wai Lang, the Fujian Division also has seven or eight directors and more than a dozen pen stickers. Because at the end of the year, this year's accounts have to be settled, so everyone is not as idle as Cao Hao, and they are all busy.

Although Cao Hao was a little embarrassed, because the people below performed their duties, it was not his turn to intervene, and Li Qichang in Langzhong above had some meaning that he would bow down in person, so he had to continue to be so idle. In fact, he also read what he should have watched, and he should remember to write it down, "talk less and learn more" is the charter he set for himself.

Where there are people, there is fighting, and this statement is obviously true. Although Cao Hao feels that he is low-key enough, there are still people who look at him unpleasantly.

Naturally, the leaders are those principals, and there is a vacancy in the department, and everyone is squeezing their heads to run forward, working hard to do errands, thinking about the relationship between the children, and thinking about the relationship between the children, all thinking about upgrading to a level, but they didn't expect that a sixteen or seven-year-old child suddenly came.

Even those pen stickers, although they are respectful to Cao Hao on the surface, there are few convincing people in their hearts. Some of them are the children of the powerful, and some are erudite, and they can be regarded as surviving in the ministry, which one is not diligent? It's just that Cao Hao is just relying on the relationship, and he is a head above everyone when he comes up.

Although everyone looks down on Cao Hao in their hearts, who dares to mock him in person? Not to mention the level of position, even the layers of powerful forces behind Cao Hao are not something they can afford to provoke. Unconsciously, except for the two principals who had no foundation and wanted to tie up the power of the palace, everyone else was very "polite" to Cao Hao. is completely "can't be provoked and can't hide" posture, intentionally or unintentionally isolated Cao Hao.

Cao Hao is not a stunned young man without social experience, and naturally knows that he has violated the interests of some people. However, he did not have the intention of taking the initiative to make friends, but only studied and understood the financial situation of Fujian more seriously, as well as the errands he was in charge of. You can't be convincing with your mouth, and power can make people grovel to you, but you can't get sincere recognition.

As for economic accounts, Cao Hao is a layman after all, so he naturally has a lot of things he doesn't understand. Because of his young age, he rarely puts himself on the official shelf, and he will not make people feel awkward when he asks for advice on those main matters and pen stickers. After coming and going, many people were moved by his modest and hard-working learning attitude. As a result, more and more people began to be willing to solve Cao Hao's doubts.

Cao Hao doesn't talk much, but he is very generous, and when he catches up with the boss to work overtime at night, he often asks the house to bring food. In order to avoid the suspicion of showing off his wealth, he also specially ordered that only ordinary wine and food be sent. Everyone was a little embarrassed at first, but after three times and twice, they accepted it calmly. Speaking of which, everyone is half of Cao Hao's teacher, so what if you eat him and drink him?

Some principals and pen-paste family members are not in the capital, and they will take turns to eat and drink every other day. Cao Hao occasionally joins in the fun, and has also bought wine in the house twice.

In this way, in just one month, Cao Hao not only understood the affairs of the Fujian Division about the same, but also gradually resolved the isolation of his colleagues. Now, except for a few or three principals who are prejudiced against Cao Hao, the rest of the people see him with a little sincere affection.

After Cao Hao became familiar with the affairs of the Fujian Division, he was a little confused, and the old man Kangxi threw this to this yamen, it should not be for the sake of mixing qualifications. However, among these many affairs, there are fixed charters, and there is no room for people to open up sources and reduce expenditures. At first, he was more interested in Tianjin's sea tax, although in the past two years, due to coastal pirates, there have been local officials asking for a ban on the sea every year, but they were all refuted by Kangxi. However, after checking the accounts of recent years, he learned that because Tianjin Port is an inner port, there are bans on foreign ships and domestic maritime merchants, and most of the official and semi-official goods are landed, and there is not much trade to do.

Cao Hao knows the truth that "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", and he doesn't want to do anything impressive in the short term, which is neither realistic nor easy to provoke. It is better to study and re-study in a down-to-earth manner, constantly enrich yourself, make up for the lack of experience and knowledge, and save enough foundation to do things.
