The old lady asked the princess to celebrate her birthday, and everyone in the house heard about it, so naturally some people wanted to see if the princess really had the ability.

But more people are waiting to see Song Yi's jokes.

After all, the birthday of the old lady of the real prince's mansion is not a simple matter of inviting people into the mansion for dinner.

First of all, which guests are invited and how? It's all a science. Some just post, and some have to be invited in person. Some have to say it in advance and let them have time.

If you invite someone well, it's not all right. How to arrange the seating when people are invited? Here you can see the intimacy of the host's family. Some have hatred, some have suspicions, and some face and heart are not in harmony, how to avoid embarrassment and let the guests and hosts enjoy themselves is not a simple matter.

In addition, the old lady of the True Wangfu has a birthday, so naturally it can't be shabby, which makes people look down on it.

The repair and painting of the courtyard in the middle of the house, the furnishings and arrangements of gold and silver utensils, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the transfer and dispatch of subordinates, and the division of powers and responsibilities, the payment of silver taels, and the verification of accounts, each of which cannot be sloppy and extremely draining.

Song Yi is just a teenage woman who has only learned to read accounts.

The key to the treasury in the house, the roster of subordinates, etc. are not in Song Yi's hands, and she wants to arrange people to work, but she can't do it.

The problem in front of us is not one or two things, and if you are not careful, you will make a big fool.

After Song Yi went back, he thought about it and still felt regretful.

At the time, she should have refused on the spot. Even if you can't refuse, you have to take back the rights of the housekeeper from the old lady.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and her eyes are now black, and she doesn't know where to start.

The old lady has a big birthday, and there is still a month to go, and this is the first time she has dealt with such a thing alone after she started.

Xianglian peeked at her master, thought for a while, and said, "Princess, why do you say that the old lady wants to celebrate her birthday this time?" ”

"What can she do? I just want to see the princess lose face," someone outside the house answered Xianglian's question, but the fingerprints got up and saw no one.

In the blink of an eye, the person who spoke appeared, and it turned out to be Du's mother.

Mother Du heard that the princess had taken over the matter of holding the old lady's birthday, so she hurried to the Huifang Garden.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xianglian ask that question.

Mother Gui replied without even thinking about it.

Song Yi saw Gui's mother coming, so he smiled and said, "Mom is here"

"Princess, the old slave heard about this morning. Afraid that the princess would feel embarrassed, she came uninvited. Princess, please rest assured, with the help of the old slave, it will be foolproof."

Song Yi was still worried that no one would help her, although the old lady said just now that if she had any questions, she could ask others. But Song Yi didn't believe that those people would not want to see their jokes and help themselves.

Now that Gui's mother is here, listening to her meaning, it seems that she is sure to handle this errand well, and Song Yi has settled down a lot.

"Mom, is that true? Have you ever done this kind of errand in the past? ”

"No," Gui's mother said as she should have been.

"Eh" Song Yi thought that Gui's mother had done such a big thing before, but she didn't expect that she didn't. Song Yi also had a headache, and she didn't know where Gui's mother's confidence came from?

"Princess, although the old slave did not celebrate the birthday of the one in the Qingsong Courtyard, in the past, he participated in the birthday of the old prince in the house. I also know the process."

"That's good. Just now I was worried that I didn't understand anything and that I would make a lot of jokes. Now, with your words, I am also relieved. Fortunately, I'm a newbie, everyone knows it, and I think as long as I can get by on the big picture and there are no major mistakes. ”

"Princess, don't worry. Leave this matter to the old slave, and the old slave will handle it properly for you."

Song Yi nodded.

"However, princess, it is not a good errand to hold her birthday this time. Not to mention, the status of the True King's Mansion is here, even if it is the first time you have taken the lead to do such a big thing, you can't have the mentality of getting by. You are the princess, and you are a gesture, but you represent our palace. The old slave thought, since you are celebrating her birthday, why don't you take the opportunity to ask her for the key to the treasury? ”

"Mom and I thought about it. I was still thinking about this matter just now, the old lady has a birthday, so naturally she has to buy something. In the current situation in Fuzhong, where can I come up with so much money to buy new things? ”

Song Yi and Gui's mother laughed together.

Gui's mother took the initiative to help Song Yi and took on a lot for Song Yi.

After Gui's mother discussed with Song Yi, the first step was to invite the housekeeper Gao Niancai.

"Princess, the executive's family is the old man of the palace, and the city government is very deep. Oh, I'm complimentary. Although he is cunning and cunning, he is a good person. In the position of steward, it is very rare to be impartial. What's more, he is very capable. When the old prince was alive, he often praised him for doing things properly and couldn't find faults. After the death of the old prince, the old lady was in charge of the house. It's not that the old lady hasn't thought about changing people, but she really can't find a replacement for Gao Niancai. Therefore, the old lady has not touched him. But he is really refined and self-interested, and most of the property in the house is gone, and he turns a blind eye, which is completely an ornament. The old slave had long looked at him unpleasantly. However, this time, the princess is in charge of the overall situation, and she has to rely on him. Up and down the house, there are 200 people, and the relationship between the parties and the houses is complicated. It's like the kitchen is managed by the old lady's people, and the treasury is the big lady's people, as well as the cleaners, doormen, officials, etc., if you want to support them, if you don't have a senior person to help, it's really difficult."

"Oh? It turns out that the executive's family is so mixed" Song Yi knew Gao Niancai, if he hadn't come forward back then, he would have been wrongfully killed by the people in the kitchen, where would there be wealth later?

Gao Niancai is a person, and Song Yi has been in contact with him a few times, and the other party has a casual attitude.

The people in the house didn't fear him much, but they all liked him more.

Song Yi thought about it and decided to believe in Gui's mother and asked people to find Gao Niancai.

I only entered Huifang Garden in my old age, and my heart fluctuated a little.

Who would have thought that in the past, such a saltless woman who was nicknamed "stinky girl" would become the real princess today?

Gao Nian was glad that he didn't judge people by his appearance that day and offended the princess, and he was extremely glad that he was "the golden mean" and didn't offend anyone, which was the only way to make him invincible.

The princess asked people to look for him, and Gao Nian had already guessed what the princess was looking for him. It must have something to do with the old lady's birthday.

Gao Nian analyzed all the way, and walked into the house in a blink of an eye.

"The Princess"

"Executives, don't be polite. You are the old housekeeper of the palace, and you have served the prince for many years, and you are the old man of the palace. This concubine is not polite to you anymore. I'm sure you've heard that the old lady arranged for me to organize a birthday banquet for her this morning. Song Yi said straight to the point.

Gao Nian saw that the other party was full of confidence and was not nervous at all, so he became curious.

"The old slave has heard about it. Congratulations to the princess, this is the old lady's intention to hand over the housekeeper's affairs to the princess" Gao Niancai still chose to say beautiful things as always.

"Executives, do you think this is a happy event? Don't you think I'm too young and too procrastinated? ”

"Princess, you are extremely smart, naturally not comparable to ordinary people. The old lady's birthday is not big or small. But when the princess shoots, she will be able to sway freely" Gao Nian continued to pat his ass.

If Gui's mother hadn't told her in advance, Song Yi would have thought that what she was in front of was just an old slippery head.

"Executives don't have to just pick up good things. The old lady was born in July, and there was less than a month left for the concubine. Concubine Ben thought about it, but still felt that this matter was not trivial. I couldn't have done it without the help of the executives. That's why I specially invited the executive's house, hoping to explain it in person. I don't know, what is the attitude of the executives? ”

"Princess, the slave is just a person who solves the sundries for the master, where can he afford such a heavy trust from the princess. The princess is very smart and thoughtful, so she can naturally hold the old lady's birthday banquet. The slave should also fully cooperate, as long as the princess commands, the slave will definitely be full of liver and brain, bow to the ground, do their best"

Gao Nian is worthy of being an old fritter, he speaks without leakage or impartiality, he only says that he acts according to orders, but he doesn't want to stand on Song Yi's side.

Song Yi felt that the other party was not easy to start, so he only smiled.

But Gui's mother couldn't listen to it anymore, and felt that admitting a thief at an advanced age was betraying the old prince.

"Executives, you need to see clearly. This is the real princess, the mistress of the palace. You are the housekeeper of the palace, and the old prince personally promoted you, don't you miss the kindness of the old prince? Over the years, the prince has been inconvenient to intervene in the affairs of the house. You're caught in the middle, and it's not going to work, and I can understand that. But now that the princess has entered the door, you have to recognize the master, and follow the right person."

Gui's mother spoke loudly.

Song Yi couldn't wait to applaud when he heard it, but Gao Niancai still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt.

Just when Song Yi wanted to give up, Gao Nian finally opened his mouth, "Mother Gui, what you said is very true." The old prince has the grace of reinvention for the slaves, and I feel that I dare not forget it. But the old prince has been immortal for many years, and the palace is not as good as it used to be. The princess recently looked at the account books and should understand the actual situation in the house. Don't look at the real royal family's big business, but it's just an empty shelf, the prince and the princess are married, they have already broken their muscles and bones, if they still want to do a big job, the slave can't imagine where to get this silver"

Gao Niancai's words also made Song Yi feel hopeful.
