Zhulan explained: "Xuehan has been a housekeeper for many years, and she is almost at the age of getting married, so she will be allowed to marry in the past two years, and she will not be a housekeeper in the future." ”

After a pause, he continued: "In the future, the four of you will take turns to manage the family, one person for a month, the third daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law, I don't worry, you and the second daughter-in-law have to learn more, and the ones who learn are your own, and you will have to take care of your own house sooner or later." ”

Li Shi reacted quickly and asked cautiously, "Mother, do you mean to split up?" ”

Zhulan smiled, "It's too early to split up, why don't you have to wait for me and your father to be able to take care of it." ”

The Li family is lost, so the family still has to be shared, "Mother, daughter-in-law doesn't want to split the family." ”

Zhulan smiled and didn't answer, it doesn't matter if she and Zhou Shuren are separating the family or not, but she and Zhou Shuren have passed away, and the family still has to be divided, and it is only a matter of time.

Xue Han held the account book and put it in front of her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, this is the account book for home use, you can take it back and take a look at it first." ”

Zhulan answered: "It's next month in a few days, starting from next month, eldest daughter-in-law, your first housekeeper, try to be familiar with this day, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Xuehan, yes, let Yulu also help you take care of the house, she should also learn." ”

Li's eyes were a little straight, what about the six account books, "So many account books? ”

Xue Han introduced, "The first book of the monthly silver account book of the gentleman and his subordinates, the second book is purchased in the kitchen, the third book is the sewing room, the fourth book is the cost of the carriage and horse, the fifth book is the monthly repair and other expenses, the sixth book is the monthly expenses of the masters, and there are some detailed accounts, and I will send them to my sister-in-law when I turn back." ”

Li used to only take care of the kitchen, and there were few people in the kitchen at that time, but now there are only three kitchen girls in the kitchen, and a few girls who help the kitchen, a rough mother-in-law who washes vegetables, and a mother-in-law who buys, etc., there are a lot of people in the kitchen.

Extrapolating from this, the subordinates of the entire Zhou Mansion and the monthly expenses, Li's brain hurt a little, but he looked at his mother-in-law lightly and gritted his teeth, "Mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely not let you down!" ”

Zhulan nodded with satisfaction, "This is what a sister-in-law should look like." ”

With a fluttering sentence, Li Shi suddenly felt the pressure, and silently thought in his heart, she is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she must be an example!

The Zhao family also hurriedly expressed their attention, and then Zhulan asked several daughters-in-law to go back.

Li went back to the yard with the account book, and pulled his daughter to look at the account book, fortunately there was a girl with good knowledge.

Zhao went back to the courtyard, and Yushuang was taking Xiao Wu to read, "Mother, what did grandma tell you early in the morning?" ”

Zhao smiled and took the little girl, "It's a good thing, in the future, I will take turns with your aunt and aunt as housekeepers, and you will also follow the housekeepers." ”

She doesn't care about the power of the housekeeper, and is happy that her mother-in-law has a bowl of water and is not biased towards anyone in the housekeeper.

Although the backyard of the Zhou Mansion is stable, there are many people, and there are still thoughts in places where there are many people, and the people of the Zhou Mansion dare not talk about the master, but sometimes the attitude is more or less different.

The kitchen is an example, I used to respect the big house, because the big house is the eldest son and grandson, and the subordinates are not stupid, and the subordinates of the entire Zhou Mansion have special respect for the big house.

For the four rooms, it has always been to please, the four rooms have the county lord, the money and the grade, and the little uncle is also going to enter the imperial examination, and the people are also holding the four rooms.

Later, Sanfang Changlian was angry, and Sanfang also got up.

The second room has always been weak, because the rules of the Zhou family are there, and the people dare not talk about it, and they dare not slack off, but the attitude can be felt.

Now the four daughters-in-law take turns to take care of the housekeepers, and the next person will live under her for a month in the future, and her attitude in the future will not be obvious, she is really happy.

In the third room, Dong returned to the courtyard and said, "This is the opportunity given by my mother-in-law." ”

The mother-in-law has always been a little cautious, "The master mother values you." ”

Dong glanced at his mother-in-law, but thought in his heart, the mother-in-law who was sent to the bridal mother thought too much, this affection is affection, but she can't be held back, "Mother-in-law gives the opportunity to take care of the housekeeper, that is to give the opportunity to learn and exercise a few of our daughters-in-law, now the Zhou family is a household waiter, and the guests received are all learned, and the mother-in-law is cultivating the ability of a few of us to take charge of ourselves." ”

The mother-in-law knew that she would be wrong, and she didn't dare to look at the eyes of the young lady, when the young lady first joined the Zhou family, she didn't follow the past, and then the Zhou family became an official, and she was sent by the master.

This time, Miss Jingcheng was in charge alone, and she had grown a lot, and she became more and more dissatisfied with her, her forehead was sweating, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Dong retracted his gaze, people can't send it back, it's a slap in the face of her mother, and her face is not good-looking.

In the fourth room, Su Xuan is the most comfortable, and the housekeeper is also good, regardless of the comfort at home, she has the most confidence and ability.

Su Xuan looked at the sleeping children, and some thought about each other, "It's been a while, and I don't know where I've gone." ”

The mother-in-law said: "The weather has been good recently, it is very suitable for rushing, if you don't delay and hurry up, you should walk a third of the way." ”

Su Xuan felt that it was too slow, she had never been separated since she got married, and it would take a few days to come back, and she wanted to be wise.

The mother-in-law looked at the hour, "County Lord, it's time for you to practice calligraphy." ”

Su Xuan, "......."

I don't want to, I don't want to think about it at all, she really regrets agreeing to practice calligraphy, this person will check when he comes back!

In the household department, Lord Xiao did not arrange official business for Zhou Shuren, but really gave Zhou Shuren time to familiarize himself with the household department.

Zhou Shuren went to the Dirty Punishment Department, "I want all the information on the finances of the Dirty Punishment Department in the first half of this year." ”

Although the ambassador was puzzled, he still respectfully found out the three thick account books, "The one on the left is the thickest one on the right of the account book for the first half of the year, the record of the objects disposed of in the first half of this year, and the middle one is the silver money account, my lord, everything you want is here." ”

Zhou Shuren looked at the thickest one, "In the first half of this year, we handled a lot of inventory of the dirty punishment department. ”

The ambassador's tone was a little tired, "This is all about silver, Lord Shangshu has basically disposed of all the items worth silver in the past six months, and some of them were backlogged a few years ago, and the account books are only so thick." ”

He and the deputy envoy were very busy for a while, and they were also anxious.

Zhou Shuren had long expected that the money would be disposed of, it would be strange if it was still in the treasury, and Shangshu was not blind, so he couldn't see such a large amount of money.

Zhou Shuren said: "You take me to the treasury to have a look." ”

The ambassador was very puzzled, but he still took the key, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, there are many things in the treasury, but there is really not much worth of silver, you know, a few years ago, the household department, cough, the treasury is also tightened to live." ”

So the emperor has indeed copied a lot of homes, but basically everything that can be dealt with has been dealt with, who has been short of silver!

Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at how pitiful his tone was.

The ambassador said with some nostalgia: "It has been a few years since Xia Guan joined the household department, and last year was the best year for the household department. ”

It's a pity that there is a war, and as soon as I feel that there is silver in my hand, I will be poor inside!

As he spoke, he arrived at the warehouse, which was not quite the same as the warehouse in Zhou Shuren's impression, "The official thought that the warehouse would occupy a large area." ”

The ambassador laughed dryly, "If you can't save things, you won't have a chance to expand." ”

Zhou Shuren looked at the ambassador of the Dirty Punishment Department, this person spoke very interestingly, "Open the door." ”

The lock of the warehouse is very new, it is often opened at a glance, there is no old smell in the warehouse, it is very clean, a total of ten rooms are used as a warehouse, there are not many things left in each piece, there is no ornament, not to mention antiques, and the precious furniture is gone.

It's a bit empty!

Zhou Shuren looked at the boxes that had been sealed, the alleys were all visited by category, and the rest was indeed not worth a lot of money, and the female dependents had packed up a lot, some of them had been for several years, the style was old, and they had not been well maintained, and they were not worth the silver.
