Chapter 43: Are You Sick?
Roman's words were very casual, but Zhou Hong was very excited to hear them. She was born in the countryside, and the biggest world she had seen before coming to Wanzhaoyuan was to follow Pei Junlin to Linxi Jiuli for dinner.
It was when he arrived at the evening garden that he showed some skills in managing the house. It's just because when she was at home, she helped her mother take care of the house, and when she was free, she went to the clan to help.
When she was stimulated by Pei Junlin to the point that she couldn't live or die, she also imagined that she was a business wizard, and suddenly she was rich and respected. Then, he used the most upright and cruel means to cut off all the Pei family's business.
Now, will she really have access to business?
"Miss......"
"If we don't rush to conclusions, we won't be able to get the shop today." Seeing that Zhou Hong's voice trembled a little with excitement, Roman explained: "There are difficult places to walk on any road. Doing business and listening to the scenery, I thought that if I opened the door, I would have a lot of money. In fact, it is very difficult to do this well.
The supply of goods must be reliable, the shopkeeper must be able to deal with the government, the lower can deal with the ruffians, and the customers must be enveloped in the middle. In addition, the finances must be clear, the slaves must have the means, and the occasional failure must be able to cope with the blame of the owner.
Our own shop, although we can save this step by dealing with the owner, we can't make results, and we are also smashing our own jobs. ”
Just listening, Zhou Hong's expression became serious.
She was born in poverty, and she was bullied by the Pei family, and she pressed the Pei family after wanting to make a difference more than anyone else. If he is better than Mama Pei in business, he will be able to give Mama Pei a slap in the face.
But anyone can do it, but it's hard to say whether I'm that material or not.
If you don't get out of the way, and then return to the courtyard, I'm afraid you won't have the status you have now.
"Let's think about it slowly." Thinking of something, Roman who lowered his head and played with the pillow suddenly turned to Zhou Hong: "Sisi doesn't mean that they have learned business scriptures, when you are idle, you can ask them for the knowledge inside." The worst is that you should always learn to do accounts and plan to make plans. ”
"The slave understands."
"If you can't learn, you can't learn. Either they don't have the ability, or you don't have the ability. ”
So, either they can't use it, or I can't use it!
Zhou Hong was very grateful to Roman Ken for giving her this opportunity, and being pointed out such a clear way, her nervous and excited mood was also relieved. She took a deep breath and returned to the house.
"Mama Su is in charge of everything, and she has already beaten it well. In the afternoon, Mama sent the roster and the deed over, and I was locked in the cage of Huanghuali. ”
Roman shook his head: "I don't want to see it today." ”
"What Mama Su means, the power of the family is easy to take back, and it should be in the hands of the young lady. From Ming'er, the young lady went to the Mingyue Hall to listen to the stewards. Big and small things, let Miss make up your mind. ”
Roman raised half of his eyebrows: Mama Su is really loyal, at least she has no ambitions.
Otherwise, the power of this Manchu Mansion is in her hands, isn't it a great opportunity for her to replace Mama Pei? It's a pity that my mother has pressed such a pure loyal servant for decades.
"The foreign steward is here today?"
Even if it is an ordinary large family, the stewardship is divided into inside and outside. The housekeeper is responsible for the affairs of the family, and responds to all the arrangements of the master at any time. The external manager is the manager who is responsible for external affairs, generally in charge of Zhuangzi, shops, fields, etc.
If you don't encounter something that requires the master's idea, the foreign manager doesn't have to go back and forth every day, just come to report and pay the account at a fixed time.
Wanzhaoyuan has always been in the hands of Mama Pei, so in the past few years, even Mrs. Luo has rarely seen the outside manager.
Now, although the power in the courtyard has been taken over, the fields, Zhuangzi, and shops are still in the hands of Mama Pei. Without Pei Mama's instructions, even if Roman summons him, he may not be able to give face.
"It's all here."
When she said this, Zhou Hong's face was a little unsightly: "Everyone came over with a lot of brochures, saying that now that Miss is in charge, these details should be seen by Miss." The slave and maid looked at it, and only recognized the dense numbers, and they couldn't understand the slightest point beside them. ”
She carefully looked at Roman's expression, and saw that she began to play with the pillow casually again, and let out a long sigh: "Mama Su also came over to take a look, saying that they were all useless things." I don't know if it's useless to say that people are useless, or if the things sent are useless. Her face was not good-looking, and the slave didn't dare to ask. ”
"Send them to Qingqing."
"It's all from the shop, in case it ......"
"Didn't Mama Su say that it was useless?"
Zhou Hong: "......"
"If you look at these things clearly, you can understand what Pei Pozi is planning. If you send the details and account books in the shop in front of you, it can be regarded as showing your sincerity to me. ”
Roman was pleased to see her sincerity.
In the end, no matter how much pretense there is, she has also given everyone warmth over the years. When it's over, don't be left behind.
Zhou Hong is not as optimistic as Roman, she feels that it is impossible for Mama Pei to take the initiative to hand over the shop. The gambler gambled with red eyes, betting on his full net worth and the life of the whole family, how could Mama Pei, who had eaten the sweetness, see that the situation was not good, and withdraw immediately?
But she understood the Luo family's feelings for Mama Pei, and these words were suppressed and not spoken.
"What about the red tassel matter, has it been solved?"
Hongying is the girl in the pantry, Pei Junjie Xiao thinks about Sisi, she happened to be on duty that night. When Pei Junjie drove her away and then drugged the water, she hid outside the window.
When she sneaked into Sisi's room after taking the medicine, she was hiding to the side.
Pei Junjie just didn't do it, and they also had a plan that night. Pei Junjie bumped into her hands, she originally wanted to use it and teach her a lesson.
But Hongying, who was hiding in the shadows, begged for it: she admired Pei Junjie, but she knew that she couldn't get into Mama Pei's eyes, and wanted to use this matter to seek fulfillment.
Sisi thought for a moment and reached an agreement with Hongying. She fulfilled Hongying's marriage, and she set out the words she wanted to set. Red Tassel agreed.
Sisi is not afraid that she will regret it, and the woman who has ruined her reputation, the master will give her to the person who has sex in love, and it is reasonable to beat her to death with a stick. Whether to marry your sweetheart or die, normal people will choose.
What's more, if you put it out, it won't hinder Pei Junjie too much, for the sake of Pei Mama's face, she will be kicked out of the house at most. With a family background like the Pei family, there are more than enough noble sons, so why bother to be a companion?
Hongying agreed very happily and practiced very hard.
But now the situation has changed, and Pei Junjie is scared sick. How can she remarry?
"There was just a scene in the morning, and it wasn't very good." Zhou Hong pursed her lips disdainfully: "The Hongying family refuses to marry their daughter and wants the Pei family to lose money." ”
Roman sat up with great interest: "What about the Pei family?" ”
"The Pei family said that it was just right not to marry, and such cheap goods also stained their lintel. Everyone in the whole house heard it, Hongying and Pei Junjie are you and me, why do you want the Pei family to lose money? If you want to sell, you should go to Yihongyuan. ”
Roman: "...... Sure enough, it is the style of the Pei family. ”
Zhou Hong lowered her eyelids and didn't speak, the Pei family was already quite kind to Hongying.
"That's all the Red Silk Family?"
The young lady's voice was full of curiosity, obviously watching a play. She looked up at her young lady and sighed helplessly: "Mama Pei said that they are all slaves in the house, how do you understand, their Pei family is all up to the master."
Hongying's family felt that it was reasonable, and asked for it. After all, her daughter is a hero in the house, so she contributed to the investigation and punishment of the real murderer. The young lady can't help his family.
Mama Su said that Mrs. is a person who cultivates in the Qing Dynasty, and she can't listen to this kind of filth, no matter what. ”
Roman was about to take a sigh of relief when he heard Hongying continue: "So the two of them are better, and they will come to find Miss early the day after tomorrow." The deed is in your hands, so naturally you have to listen to the lady's fate. ”
Roman: "......"
"So, that's the first thing I'm going to do when I'm in charge?"
Zhou Hong nodded: "Such a thing that is unclear and unreasonable, you not only have to take care of it, but also take care of it." ”
Roman understands this truth: the next person is also a human being, and when they come to a new environment, they will also observe and tempt. In the beginning, rules and punishments restrain them. But if the master is incompetent and can't deter them, they will slowly look for opportunities to cause chaos.
Mama Pei was not bold from the beginning, a slave in the Manchu Mansion, and she didn't dare not to put her master in her eyes from the beginning, but Mama Pei was the first to look forward.
To start over, Roman had to stand up by himself first, so that he could really hold the entire mansion in his hands and govern the evening garden as ironclad.
But what should be done about this? The road to a peaceful marriage does not work, and it is a little unreasonable to sentence the Pei family to lose money, and everyone will think that Roman is small-minded and deliberately suppresses the old servant.
sentenced Hongying's family to not want money, and she couldn't explain her daughter's life. What's more, in everyone's eyes, Hongying is already a Roman faction. If she ends up bleak, others will inevitably think that Roman is unreliable.
Roman and Zhou Hong stared at each other and raised their eyebrows at each other.
"Tomorrow is my aunt's birthday, will Mama Pei go?"
If Mama Pei still has ambitions, she will definitely accompany her mother at this time. After all, she ruined the relationship between her mother and the Zhao family, so that she could have a chance.
Zhou Hong shook her head: "Don't go." Mrs. originally wanted to take her, but she refused. ”
Roman nodded and didn't speak again.
Before dawn the next day, Mama Su packed up all her things and prepared to set off. Roman and Roland helped their mother into the carriage and walked slowly towards the Zhao Mansion.
Luo Tingchen rode on horseback, guarding the side of the carriage all the way, and walked all the way in a trance.
Yesterday's dinner with the prince can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, and the goals they want to achieve have all been achieved smoothly. But Manman's lie, how can he be fulfilled in front of the prince?
When it was time to repair halfway, Luo Tingchen avoided his mother and pulled Roman aside, and asked her softly: "Uncle Xiao made it clear that it is too early to stand in line now." You said that to the prince yesterday, how can this lie be fulfilled? ”
"What kind of circle is it, can the prince still confront his little uncle?"
My sister was so arrogant that Luo Tingchen was speechless for a long time.
didn't wait for him to recover his breath, and the more fatal task came over: "Today's birthday banquet has to completely eliminate the estrangement between my mother and uncle's family." Second, the eldest brother has to find a way to move the uncle, if the prince really goes to the disaster relief, the Zhao family has to beat the gong and drum to contribute. ”
The first is okay to say, and the second is ......
Luo Tingchen reached out and touched his sister's forehead: "Aren't you sick?" ”
