When Li Ran arrived at the reception hall, it was already early.

This is the first time she has been to this hall to take care of housework since she got married.

In the courtyard of the return hall, the people are very complete.

Among the internal and external stewards, most of them are old members of the Xie family, and a few are the three old stewards who have been envoys in the mansion for more than ten years when General Xie's mansion was a messenger.

The three of them stood together, looking at the large number of high-spirited stewards of the Xie family, looking extremely chilled.

Li Ran glanced at the three old stewards twice, went straight into the reception hall, and called the three old stewards first.

Three men came in and knelt down in salute.

"Get up." Li Ran bowed slightly and raised her hand to signal. "Tell me about the messengers in your hands."

"Yes."

Standing on the far left, a thin old man with almost white hair took half a step forward.

"Little Zhang Wang, when he was in charge of the General's Mansion, he was in charge of flowers and trees, and he was also a general.

This general manager is not ordered by the prince, but the general manager of the two of them.

In the past, there was nothing going on in this mansion, and the prince was all in charge of Nanye, and General Tiger was also the general manager of Nanye.

Nan Ye also often ordered things to come down, it was all General Tiger's business, where to plant flowers and plants.

The prince's affairs have never been ordered. ”

After Zhang Wang finished speaking, he lowered his head and retreated, stepped forward with the tall thin old man next to him, and replied with his hands down:

"The little Sun Cai, in the past, was in charge of sprinkling and scrubbing in this mansion, except for the residence of the prince and the tiger general.

The prince's residence, the small ones can't get close, the tiger general's side, the tiger attendants are waiting, and the small ones are cleaned, all of which are empty yards and empty houses in the mansion. ”

Sun Cai stepped back, and the last chubby old man stepped forward.

"Little Yao An, in charge of the big kitchen.

In the big kitchen, it was Zhang Wang, Sun Cai, and the small big kitchen that ate these people.

The prince has a small kitchen, and the food of the tiger general is taken care of by the tiger attendants. ”

Li Ran looked at Yao An retreating, and the three people who stood in a row again, wanted to sigh and held back.

Xie Ze said that he had never paid attention to this mansion, but this was really true, and there was no water at all.

When this mansion was still General Xie's mansion, Shi Nan told her face to face about the situation in the mansion, and it was a simple sentence.

At that time, she felt that Shi Nan was not clear enough, but now that she looks, Shi Nan's three or two sentences are already in great detail, and they are completely clear.

"Three of you go outside and wait for a while." Li Ran said politely.

She is not very used to being a princess, how to talk to these subordinates, they don't seem to be employees......

However, she is notoriously eccentric and impersonal, and no matter how she speaks, she thinks everyone will think it is normal.

Zhang Wang and the three of them withdrew with their hands down.

Li Ran looked at Mama Sang, "Let's invite Mama Huang in first." ”

Mama Sang respectfully agreed, and withdrew to call Mama Huang.

Mama Huang is the chief steward Mama recommended by Mrs. Xie. once followed Mrs. Shen and sat in the position of the chief steward for twenty-four or five years.

Mama Huang followed Mama Sang in and bowed her knees.

Mama Huang is in her sixties and looks very gentle and easy-going, but standing there, it makes people feel immovable.

"Have you seen it in the house?"

Li Ran looked at Mama Huang and asked directly.

"Yes, after Wang Saijiu took over the relationship between the princess and the prince, on the fourth day, I followed the second master of the Wang family, and I came to see it for a long time, and then I came to see it twice."

Mama Huang asked one answer and ten answers.

"Well, how about the flowers and sprinklers?"

"The flowers and plants are well cared for, it seems that Zhang Wang, who is in charge of flowers and plants, is a very lover of flowers and plants.

The sprinkling and sweeping are slightly worse, but after more than ten years of no supervision, it can be roughly clean, which is already very good. ”

"Well, the flowers and plants in the house will be handed over to Zhang Wang, and the Arrangement Bureau will also use flowers and plants, right?"

Li Ran glanced at Mama Sang.

The four divisions and six bureaus, how to pay attention to the division of labor, are all told to her by Mama Sang.

"Yes." Mama Huang responded simply.

"The people on the flowers and plants in the Platoon Bureau are also attributed to Zhang Wang.

Sprinkle it on, what do you mean? ”

Li Ran understands a little bit about sprinkling and sweeping, but she is not sure if there are still tricks she doesn't know, or how many tricks she doesn't know.

"Let Sun Cai try?" Mama Huang looked at Li Ran and suggested.

"Okay." Li Ran nodded, and continued:

"Four divisions and six bureaus, personnel overlap, the arrangement bureau is combined into the account department, the incense medicine bureau is combined into the tea and wine department, the fruit bureau, the candied fruit bureau and the vegetable bureau are combined into the kitchen department, and the oil candle bureau is merged into the table plate division.

The head of the four divisions, according to your proposal, four people, you discuss the specific details with the directors of the four divisions. ”

Mama Huang lowered her hand.

"The back office is handed over to Mama Sang, the main courtyard is headed by Zi Ji, and the prince's study is taken care of by Shi Nan.

The rules of the house, write down what you think of, and show it to me first.

Employing people, rather less than more, to be capable, this house does not raise idlers, there are those who want to be honored, and other arrangements will be made.

That's all I have for the time being.

You say. ”

Mama Huang answered first, looked up at Li Ran, lowered her hand and said, "There are two things that have to be settled now."

One is this year, how to spend it.

Before this year, there had never been a New Year in this house, and the prince spent the New Year in the palace every year. ”

Li Ran took a slow breath.

The matter of the New Year, Xie Ze told her yesterday that it was a troublesome matter.

Chinese New Year, the most solemn and exquisite festival of the year, is also a festival to be reunited, Xie Ze has a father and mother, a grandfather and grandmother, a family and an ancestral hall.

This year, if they close the door and spend it by themselves in this palace, then after the New Year, they will open the government and go to the court, and a bunch of people will be appointed to impeach them for unfilial piety.

But you have to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city......

"Did Old Madam Shen tell you anything?"

Li Ran was silent for a moment, looked at Mama Huang and asked.

"The old lady never mentioned the New Year." Mama Huang was obviously a little careless.

"Let's prepare for the New Year in this house."

Li Ran made a quick decision.

She didn't want to retreat from this step, the New Year's affair was compromised, and after opening this head, there will definitely be a next step, step by step, and retreat to the end......

Xie Shangshu and Mrs. Shao are both young and healthy.

"Yes." Mama Huang responded quickly. "The second thing is the New Year's wine, after the New Year, whether our house wants to invite the New Year's wine, if so, this day must be decided quickly."

"Huh?" Li Ran was stunned.

It's nearly a month before the New Year, and the day of the New Year's wine after the New Year has to be set quickly? What about the people you want to invite? Settle it too?

"There are precedents for each family to invite New Year's wine, for example, the second day of the first month of each year is the New Year's wine on the Wangfu of Hejian County, and the New Year's wine of the Wang family must be set on the third day of the first month."

Mama Sang looked at Li Ran's expression and hurriedly explained.

Li Ran understood as soon as she heard it, this is to ask each family to be invited separately, so as not to offend people if they don't go anywhere.

"Is there anything special about these days?" Li Ran asked.

"We want to invite the palace, Hejian County Palace, I'm afraid it will be postponed for a day."

Mama Sang replied tactfully.

"Then it's the second day of the first month." Li Ran understood very quickly this time.

This is the same reason as the ranking she experienced before.

Which one has a high location, please which one will be invited first.

In the past, among the courtiers, the Hejian County Mansion was respected, and now with their Rong'an Palace, the second day of the first month is naturally the day when the Rong'an Palace's New Year's wine is invited, and the Hejian County Palace's Mansion has to be postponed to the third day of the first month.

She was impressed with the default ranking.

She once sat on the upper peak of the upper peak of the upper peak because of ignorance, and the upper peak of her was scolded by his upper peak.

"Yes, who should I invite for the New Year's wine, I discussed it with Mama Huang first, and made a list for the princess to refer to?"

Mama Sang suggested.

Li Ran nodded.

She wanted to sigh a little, which one to invite or not to invite must be a very headache.

There was also a large group of veterans recommended by Zhou E outside.

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh, looked at Mama Huang, and then instructed: "Those veterans outside, please go through it with Mama Sang first, what do you think can be left and what can't be kept, make a list for me, don't let them go first, I want to see it again." ”

Mama Huang and Mama Sang should be with their hands down.

Let them pick first, but they have to even pick and take the ones that are not picked, and look at them again, which is obviously distrusting them.

However, this distrust, Mama Huang has long been prepared, the trust of the princess, and the trust of the future prince, is for them to rely on themselves, little by little.

As for Mama Sang, she is more calm than Mama Huang.

This is the princess's caution, not all trust and distrust, this, she has been watching for half a year.

This princess is extremely difficult to fool.

This is very good, you can't fool yourself, then it's difficult for others to fool, everyone is much fairer with their ability.
