"Except for the eight people around the old lady, such as Linlang and Xia Qiniang, they are all together. There were a total of 120 mothers-in-law and maids in the house, and there were 112 people. Yun'er said.

Yun Zhao smiled: "When everyone is together, it is easy to speak." ”

The steward in the hall listened and gasped.

"Yiyuan was in charge of my aunt before, and my aunt was in charge of the Feng family, so she didn't care about this, so she handed Yiyuan back to me. I'm young, and I've never seen a storm or a wave. The people in the hall are all old slaves for decades, and you know better than anyone the rules and regulations left by your ancestors. ”

Yun Zhao called the housekeeper Mrs. Wang, "I have lived in Yiyuan for many years, and I have seen it up and down, up and down, even if I can't be named, I know what the face looks like." ”

"The girl commands." In order to ensure her previous face, Mrs. Wang did not hesitate to nod to a little girl.

"Twenty is the eldest brother's birthday, and according to Madame's wishes, nineteen must be ready."

"Yes, I'll send someone."

"Don't worry, wait for the girl to finish speaking, it's not too late to be busy." Liudan said.

Mrs. Wang returned to her place in embarrassment.

"I've always been reluctant to take care of things, but my aunt has explained that I have to do it. If you don't talk about me, Madame will reward you again. Wan Zhao smiled.

"Even if it is a birthday, it is necessary to let people post a treat. Madame has already given me the list, and when the princess will send someone to write it out immediately, let someone send it to the guest's house. ”

She had already instructed Liudan in advance to set aside some people to do some work alone. Liu Dan had already called Yun'er to assign it.

Yun'er ordered people in turn, and came in in a neat row of people.

"You greet the guests, and you get some horses." Yun Zhao smiled: "You used to pick me up, how to do it, you know better than me." I don't need to mention more, everything just follows the rules. ”

"You are divided into two groups, one to welcome the guests, and the other to settle the servants and horses. Madame said that it should be done in Akashi-in, so you can just bring people to the gate of the garden. The amount of expenses is combined, and the money is withdrawn after being registered. Wan Zhao said.

Wang Po interjected: "Cao Chun's daughter-in-law, who was in charge of this before, has returned home, who will take care of it?" ”

"When I visited the queen before, there were two people who kept admonishing me, and I thought they were in charge." Wan Zhao smiled slightly.

Wang Po smiled, "The girl lifted them up." They were originally brought by the old lady, but later the lady thought they were not good, so she sent them to Cao Chun's daughter-in-law. ”

"I see."

Yun Zhao sneered. "What about Cao Chun's daughter-in-law?"

"She had been sick for three or five months when she came out of the garden, and I heard that she couldn't get out of bed now." Mrs. Wang sighed.

"Cao Chun has been an old servant with my grandfather for many years, he is still on an errand, why don't you see him on weekdays?"

Liudan said: "On weekdays, he is only allowed to do idle work, and let him take care of his daughter-in-law." ”

"Cao Chun has a house outside, and his daughter-in-law is recuperating there. So let him take care of it with peace of mind. Wang Po accompanied the smiling face.

"I see."

Yun Zhao said: "Ask the doctor to show his daughter-in-law, and it is better to hand it over to the doctor as soon as possible than to be next to each other in vain." ”

"The girl has a point."

She added: "I just mentioned the book, and there are still fewer people on the list, the Han family. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard it, she felt bad, "But Han Lang is not in Chang'an now." ”

"Why didn't my uncle, General Han, invite?"

Han Cang, the general of the auxiliary state, rarely shows up, but he must not forget his identity as an important minister in the court. Wang Po hurriedly said: "I want to please, I want to please." ”

"In addition to the Han family, there is also Mrs. Tai's Liu family."

The old lady's mother's surname is Liu, and her ancestors have been Beijing officials, assassins, etc., and they have also been prominent for a while. It's just that with the change of dynasty, the Liu family is not as good as day by day. "Mrs. Tai's nephews and grandnephews are all in Beijing."

"Yes, that's what to add."

Yun Zhao asked Yun'er to call the person who sprinkled and cleaned and decorated, "You clean up the Akashi Courtyard well, and the furnishings and utensils inside must be careful." ”

Wang Po reprimanded: "The things in it are all priceless treasures that have been saved for generations, if there is one less, it will not be a matter of being hit by the board at that time." ”

"Yes."

Mrs. Wang said flatteringly: "I think this work will be done by the barbarians." ”

Yun Zhao just made her lose face, and this time he gave her a good face: "You have a good eye, a barbarian is good, just use her." ”

"The work sent out in front is not very important, and the next birthday banquet is delicacies, tea, fruit and wine." She said in an aggravated tone, "There is no room for error at the feast, and if the guests eat any hair, chaff, shell, or whatever, if they find out, they will bring you to Madame and see how Madame asks you for sin." ”

Mrs. Wang said cautiously: "Girl, those have already been arranged. She personally went to call the apricot sister-in-law who was in charge of the kitchen, "You have seen her in the past, she used to be the apricot who cooked for Mrs. Han." ”

Yun Zhao can't remember this person, but listening to Xing'er, there was an apricot who cooked for her mother. It's just that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xing'er became an apricot sister-in-law and a middle-aged woman.

Sister-in-law Xing's eyes lit up when she saw her, "Hello girl." ”

"Hurry up."

She was as happy as if she had seen an old acquaintance at the moment. Since the Feng Mansion moved here, the old people of Yiyuan have been dismissed, and there are few left. There are really not many people like Sister-in-law Xing who served her master in the past.

"It takes about 20 kitchens to help out. Bowls, plates, pots, tea cups, food boxes, etc. should be kept carefully. The ingredients that came in were reported to Liudan, and they were approved before they were released. The minutiae should also be remembered. ”

"Girl, Yiyuan has a lot of expenses, and every transaction is calculated clearly, even the thread and paper you bought are also counted, and the account room can't cope with it." Mrs. Wang is in a hurry, she takes care of the accounts for her wife on weekdays, but she writes the big number on the left, and the small one is simply erased. Anyway, she Miss Feng is not short of money, so she won't care about this.

Yun Zhao said: "I know that it has not been easy for everyone in the past few years, and I read the brochure in the house a few days ago, and I more or less know what is going on. Yiyuan is not short of money, but the trickle of water is reasonable, isn't it? This year, a lot has been spent on the resettlement of the Zhou family. It's only mid-March now, and the industry has to collect money, at least in October. There are still a lot of places to ask for money in the past few months. ”

She knows what is going on in Yiyuan, and it is indeed like Mrs. Wang said that the expenses are large. This is due to the fact that there are too many domestic slaves, and there is also the reason for being accustomed to extravagance. In the past, the Han family had a lot of wealth, and they had not lost gold and silver in several lifetimes. By the time Yun Zhao Guan Yiyuan arrived, the garden was less crowded than before, and it should be more prosperous. But she looked at the account for half a month, and it was more or less adulterated.
