"Today I invited Chun'er back to the door, because Ming'er also returned to the house today, the two sisters did not grow up together since childhood, it is rare that they have a similar temperament, and Ming'er came back, in order to ask how to manage internal affairs, not to hide from the old lady that I didn't want Ming'er to marry into the royal family, although I also taught her some skills in dealing with the affairs of the house, how to manage the house, but I thought that after she got married, as a young daughter-in-law, it is more important to teach her husband and children, and she did not become a director of the family so quickly, how could I have thought that the emperor would give marriage, Now that Ming'er is the mother of the Zhou Palace, the common sense I taught her in the past is far from enough.

I thought again, although I recognized Chun'er as a daughter, but I enjoyed her filial piety in vain, and the responsibility of being a mother was not fulfilled at all, so it was better to let her go back to the door, I would like to point her to her housekeeping, and it would be more conducive for her to share some of the affairs she could for her uncle in the future, so that she could win the hearts of her husband and family, and be in harmony with her aunt and wife, so that she would call me a mother in vain. ”

The old lady didn't hear the meaning of Xingshi's questioning, she was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Madame can think about Chun'er like this, it is really the luck of this child, Madame rest assured, Chun'er is a very pleasant child, and none of the elders of the family do not love her. ”

These words are inevitably a little duplicitous, especially when they are heard in Mrs. Peng's ears, piercing their eardrums like spikes, the smile on her face is barely swaying, and a pair of eyes subconsciously look away.

She is not as big-hearted as the old lady, she is really afraid of Mrs. Yi's sudden arrival, especially when she hears the word "housekeeper", her nerves and heart are tense and straight, even if her son looks away, he is still figuring out the sound of Mrs. Yi's words in his mind, and he is more and more suspicious of Mrs. Yi's intentions - even if the Gu family is arrogant, Mrs. Yi is not a shallow person after all, and she can't really come forward to fight for the right to manage her husband's family for the righteous daughter of the Gu family, right? The door of Xuan Zhutang is not inferior to the Jin State Mansion, how can a foreign surname be allowed to interfere in family affairs!

I heard Mrs. Yi continue: "How do you know that when I ask about many affairs in Zhuangzi, Chun'er is very clear, and she knows better than me about the law of crop harvest and even price fluctuations, and she is also very familiar with accounting and bookkeeping, but she is much stronger than Ming'er. ”

These words completely triggered Mrs. Peng's full of vigilance, and she hurriedly said: "Calculating and watching the accounts is only the basic of managing the family, and about the harvest in the village, although I know some things on the surface, no housewife will take care of the farm in person, and they all rely on the steward and tenant farmers to cultivate the harvest." The bigger the family, the more chores, but unlike a small family that relies on the main mother to do everything, the doorway can be said to be intertwined, Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is still young, how many people have never been in hand, and they have to rely on the guidance and guidance of their wife to be able to take charge of themselves in the future. ”

"Madame Peng is right." Mrs. Yi waited for this, and she didn't argue with half a word, and followed Mrs. Peng's words and said: "It's just that Chun'er is already Zhaomen's daughter-in-law after all, I can't call her to go to her mother's house every three or five days, and I can't give advice from time to time, so I came to see the old lady today, in order to ask for this matter, Xuanzhutang Zhaomen is a famous family, Chun'er is young, lack of knowledge, and is naturally not able to manage the house, but sooner or later she will have to exercise the role of the main mother, so I hope that the old lady will let her learn to deal with the affairs of the house with the elders. especially

It is Mrs. Peng's aunt, who can give more guidance to some nephews and daughters-in-law. ”

Mrs. Peng desperately wanted to refuse, but she couldn't find fault with Mrs. Yi's words - Chungui, as the wife of the head of the Xuanzhutang family, did have to exercise the position of a clan woman sooner or later, unless the Taishi Mansion planned to become a woman in the future, it should be given the opportunity to hone Chungui's knowledge, although Mrs. Yi was only Chungui's stepmother, after all, she also had the name of mother and daughter, and at this time, she did not ask the Taishi Mansion to let Chungui directly assist in housework, but it was completely reasonable to let Mrs. Peng take the opportunity to let Chungui hone her knowledge, Mrs. Peng can't say that she didn't think about handing over the power of housekeeping without having to hone her knowledge with her nephew and daughter-in-law, right?

That is to blow the horn of the second master to fight for power, which is equivalent to a rebel minister who intends to usurp the throne, and has already published the document to the world, but he has no intention of raising troops to rebel at all, wouldn't he let the conspiracy and tricks of the secret rubbing be exposed in advance, but will it lead to the bloody suppression of those in power?

Mrs. Peng can only hope that the old lady can find an excuse to prevaricate, in fact, the excuse is also ready-made, there are still no heirs in the spring, the primary responsibility is to open the branches and leaves for the long house of the Xuan Zhutang Sect, and it is too early for the housekeeper to take charge of things, after all, for the famous family, the prestige of the childless housemother must be insufficient, let alone a clan woman.

However, the old lady is now only thinking about stabilizing the spring return, so as to win more popularity for Concubine Hui and the Ten Princes, so of course she can't make enemies with the Jin State Mansion, and even push King Zhou to the opposite side of Concubine Hui's mother and son, as for whether King Zhou will also have the heart to win the prince? The old lady was not sure at all, but she listened to An Luhou's brother repeatedly emphasize that the most important opponent of the ten princes was the prince, so it was necessary to unite all the princes' major parties to work together to pull the prince off the throne first, and Empress Shen was defeated, and there would be no one in the inner court to be Concubine Hui's opponent.

If it can be properly designed, it will lead to the abolition of Empress Shen, Concubine Hui's mother will be the world, and the ten princes will be the sons-in-law, where can the rest of the princes compete with the son-in-law?

Therefore, whether it is the old lady or Mama Su, she does not take Mrs. Yi's request as important at all, but still agrees happily, and the old lady does not forget to immediately instruct Mrs. Peng: "From tomorrow, when the cards are issued in the morning to listen to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in charge of various places, let Chun'er see and hear from the side, if she doesn't understand something, you have to teach patiently." ”

Mrs. Peng reluctantly accepted this fait accompli, turned around and asked people to wait at the door of the street, so on this day, the second master returned home from duty, and he didn't have time to go to Aunt Meng's yard, so he was directly invited to Mrs. Peng's courtyard. The Gu family is just anxious to take charge of the affairs of the inner house, don't say that if she fails to do so, she will succeed, and sooner or later she will have to give up the right to hand over, you don't care about the intrigue between women, or how to think about the matter of the third brother-in-law! The third and fourth children, who helped Lan Ting wholeheartedly, even dared not to take An Luhou Mansion in their eyes at all, if the two of them quarreled, and see how Lan Ting would deal with this family ugliness, if it was biased and couldn't end it, how could they still be qualified to punish the clan affairs? When he loses his position as the head of the family, will the Gu family still be able to compete with you for the clan wife? ”

After Zhao Zhoucheng finished speaking, he shook his hand and went to Aunt Meng's courtyard, leaving Mrs. Peng to swallow Huang Lian alone - since the last Herou incident lost a first-class confidant, he had to transfer the bridal maid Jin Que, who was matched with a small maid in the early years, back to "fill", at this time, he gritted his teeth and complained to Jin Que: "Zhao Lanting stayed in Hanlin Courtyard, and it is okay to go home on vacation every seven or eight days."

Accompany Gu's for one night, it's good for the master, he comes back every day and is not in my yard, I haven't seen him for more than 20 days! ”

"The maidservant girl that the master brought back a few days ago, named Yulu, was also given by Wei Guogong, why didn't Mrs. transfer Yulu to the courtyard to serve for a while? After all, he was only arranged by the master in the study of the outer courtyard, but there was no hope of winning the title of the aunt, and the lady did this, first reflecting the virtuousness of the lady, and then the master was concerned about Yulu, and he would always be distracted to the lady's place. ”

What Jin Que said was a good prescription, but Mrs. Peng felt harsh when she heard it: "Can I only rely on these little sluts to see the face of the master?" is full of Taishi's Mansion, I am the most aggrieved, working hard for a large family, the old lady doesn't say a good word about me, and the two sons born are not with me, and I don't blame the old man for being too disrespectful to me! ”

"The lord just likes the new and hates the old, what can the lady do? The only way to do this is to rely on Yulu first, and the slave maid still needs to remind Mrs. that Aunt Meng is a good concubine that the lord claims to be a good concubine, and requires people to be commensurate with his wife, and he does not need to drink the soup to avoid children, if Mrs. lets Aunt Meng monopolize the favor of the master...... In case Aunt Meng gives birth to an heir......"

Mrs. Peng's fierce eye knife went straight to Jin Que, but Jin Que's face did not change: "Good medicine is bitter, loyal words are contrary to ears, and the slave maid implores Mrs. to think twice." ”

Said that the spring return, this day is to personally send Mrs. Yi to the Hanging Flower Gate to board the car, on the way to express gratitude again, Mrs. Yi took her hand, very close: "You directly opened your mouth to me, which shows that you really regard me as a parent, so you don't need to be so polite, not to mention that you don't know anything about the affairs in Zhuangzi, it is indeed thanks to you for telling her those insights, there is no sister on Ming'er, and she is afraid that she is not good to tell me directly, she is very introverted and does not love to communicate with people, it is rare for the two of you to fall in love, Although she is not a blood relative, she relies on you as a sister, how many things, if she wants to leave or has something to lose, she relies on Chun'er's admonition, to talk about kindness and righteousness, Ming'er and I owe you more.

So polite words, between our mother and daughter, between you and Ming'er sisters, you should not talk about it in the future, you really call me a stepmother, if there is something, I will say it directly, the second lady of the Taishi Mansion, can regard the housekeeping right as more important than the eyeballs, and will not easily give in, although Chun'er is smart, in the end you are younger, it is difficult to convince the public, and I don't approve of quick success, to provoke so many rights and wrongs, just like I said, even if Ming'er, if she really married a child of the family, but fortunately there is a housekeeper above, It is best for husbands and children to be idle. I also know a little about the affairs of the Taishi Mansion, so I remind Chun'er that there is no need to involve the conflict between the old lady and Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and you have to be careful to be sandwiched between Queen Shen and Concubine Hui. ”

Chungui asked Mrs. Yi to help today, because she thought about it, thinking that only Mrs. Yi came forward to be the most in line with the rules and etiquette, and she also understood that Mrs. Yi recognized her as a righteous daughter, which was for the reason why she had spoken out on the birthday of the Queen Mother, and for Mrs. Yi, she should be more anxious if she could not reciprocate, so Chungui might as well ask for help to make Mrs. Yi feel at ease.

But what she didn't expect was that although Mrs. Yi was suspicious of her request, she didn't ask anything and agreed, and only warned and reminded afterwards, not thinking that she would be able to repay the favor without delaying or owing, how could she hide it and not tell Mrs. Yi what she thought in her heart?

She treats each other with sincerity, and she must repay her with sincerity, which is the way of life that Chungui believes.
