Chapter 69: Burning Snow (1)
At this time, when she saw Cuihuan's expression, she knew that she had something to say, and asked encouragingly, "Aunt Zhu, do you have something to look for me?" ”
Cuihuan looked like he didn't know how to speak, and pulled up a homely routine around the circle: "When Ah Lang had dinner last night, he praised the wild duck soup several times, but he only said that it was delicious and delicious. I also told Ah Lang, this is all the girl's filial piety, and she has changed her tricks to appetize you, but I am afraid that your appetite will be bad and affect your body. ”
Hagi Niang smiled and said: "Duck is cold, and it is not good to eat much in this season, if my father likes it, I will tell the kitchen to make it for my father in a few days, and Aunt Zhu should also persuade me more, so as not to make my father greedy for a while, and it is not good to restrain myself if I eat too much." ”
Cuihuan hurriedly replied: "Exactly, that's exactly the reason." He cringed and said: "Ah Lang means that he knows that the girl is busy every day, but he thinks that the errands in the main courtyard can be shared by others, so that the girl can be more relaxed." She lowered her eyebrows and said with an unmistakable look of anticipation in her eyes.
Hagi Niang immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Father is very thoughtful. ”
Cuihuan is indeed sincere to her father, so she will not use any means to harm him, and when the Zheng family loses power, Cuihuan is eager to please Zang Jun to improve her status, and she has been by Zheng's side for a long time, and she also has her own experience with the housekeeper.
So it seems that this is indeed a good arrangement, and it is still feasible.
She continued: "It's better for Aunt Zhu to work harder, I'm relieved that my father's living is arranged by you, and you know your father's preferences, so you should be very caring." Let's decide this matter, and I'll talk to Liu's mother about it in a while. ”
Cuihuan was overjoyed, she didn't expect the girl to be so easy to speak, she smiled and said gratefully: "Girl, please rest assured, I will take good care of Ah Lang, and I will never let you down." After deciding on this, she was more confident and very happy.
It's not that Hagi Niang doesn't understand her careful thoughts, it's just that Cuihuan's current status is not enough of a threat to her, if Cuihuan can serve Zang Jun in peace, she doesn't mind giving her some small power and status, so that she can be more motivated.
Sending away the green ring, Hagi Niang looked at the footprints on the snow with a daze, and couldn't help but think of the slave.
This kid is really gone, I haven't heard him and Caitang laughing for a long time, but it seems that this Xiyuan is also a lot quieter.
Cuihuan's matter is a small reminder to her, if you want to run the affairs of the entire mansion freely, the most important thing is to have your own cronies, Cuihuan can barely be regarded as half a small at present, Mother Li and Ren An are two inside and one outside, at most one plus Mother Cui, there are only three when it is full, and it is indeed too little to manage the affairs of this mansion.
Do you want to bring Ruan's mother home? This thought was snuffed out by her as soon as it came out, and Ruan's mansion still needs Ruan's mother to guard, which is her most important base camp.
It is said that strong generals have no weak soldiers, but what if she has too few soldiers?
Hagi Niang took Mother Li and others to the front yard, and Mother Li's man Ren An was also busy now.
Although the internal affairs of Zang Mansion were also taken care of by Ren An many years ago, after all, he had been unfamiliar for so many years, and the stewards arranged by the Zheng family were all self-contained and experienced, so he was not taken seriously.
Hagi Niang walked outside the courtyard and heard the voice of someone arguing from a distance: "Ren is in charge, now we all call you a manager, but you can't bully others." This account book has not been sorted out for many years, and our Zheng family's grandmother has never asked us to sort out the accounts. Although you are in charge, you are not a serious master, and your ass is not hot yet, so you are in a hurry to take the old man of us for many years, I want to ask you, what is the reason? ”
Hagi Niang smiled angrily, walked up quickly, and asked, "I want to ask you, is Ren in charge of affairs not a serious master, what about me?" Am I qualified? Does it make sense for me to tell you to do something? ”
The man was in his twenties, and his face was ordinary, but his bright eyes were quite smart. When he saw that this sister-in-law was dressed in brocade clothes and followed by many maids, he was taken off guard, but he didn't expect the girl from the Zang family to come to the front yard in person.
But he saw that the sister-in-law was still young, and although he heard many rumors, he still despised him, and still replied reluctantly: "It is not a serious reason for the girl to personally order the villain, after all, it is 'to be nosy and grinded', the girl can just go and tell those big stewards, how can we vulgar slaves be worthy of talking to the master?" ”
This person is articulate and responsive, although he is unruly, but he is very temperamental to Hagi Niang.
She wanted to take this person for her own use, but she couldn't show weakness at this time, otherwise she would be directly despised, and other subordinates would inevitably follow her own example.
The purpose of my coming here today is to kill chickens and show them to the monkeys, but I didn't expect this goods to come up in a hurry, and I was really sleepy and sent pillows.
She smiled and asked Ren An: "Ren Steward, since I can only tell you to do things according to the rules, I will be as good as I am." It's just that this sin of confronting the master and speaking out is not inferior, can there be punishment according to the rules of our Zang family? ”
Ren An naturally understood what she meant, and replied calmly: "So that the girl knows that this confrontation with the master is a great sin, and according to the old practice, she will be beaten and sold directly." ”
Hagi Niang nodded and said: "In this case, let's do it according to the usual practice, but his old accounts have not been sorted out, so there is no need to sell them, and they will be locked up after the beating, if they don't die, let him sort out the accounts for you." ”
The two of them were discussing as if no one was around, and when the man saw that his fate was settled in a few words, he couldn't help but be anxious, and they all said that Zang Mansion was generous to his subordinates, how could this sister-in-law be so vicious.
He didn't believe that he would really beat himself, most of the house slaves in the front yard were arranged by the Zheng family, although not everyone he could move, at least Jiwei was still there. So he said stiffly: "I want to see who dares to beat me......"
Hagi Niang sat down, and Cai Ling immediately served her tea.
When Ren An saw this posture, the girl didn't just say it to scare people, but really wanted to watch and fight. He hurriedly ordered the house slave to get the family law, looked at Hagi Niang uneasily, and taught the people a lesson, but he was afraid that spreading it would affect her reputation.
Hagi Niang ignored it, took a sip of tea by herself, and said to Li's mother narrowly: "Your family is in charge of affairs, and you will enjoy it, this Lu'an tea is no worse than mine." ”
In normal times, Li's mother would definitely laugh with her, but the occasion was not right at this time, she replied respectfully: "The girl said that she was laughing, and she was preparing for the girl to come to the front yard, so I specially instructed my family to prepare." "Otherwise, I won't have this kind of tea specially prepared, Ren An only likes to drink clouds.
