Chapter 163: Buying People's Hearts (1)
Lan Mei heard this Ye Sisi deliberately said this, she was angry, and couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, wait a few days, and then let the master speak, in the future, I will always come to help with family affairs. So he didn't reply to Ye Sisi's words, but asked the mother-in-law below, "Mother Li, the wedding date of this second son is coming, where are you going?" ”
Mother Li is bitter in her heart, whether she answers or not, she will offend one of them. Ye Sisi knew this Li's mother's difficulty, so she didn't let her speak, but said by herself, "This was only arranged yesterday, how can it be prepared so quickly." Sister, you just came, and you don't understand, so let's look around first and see where I haven't thought of it, you just say it. I arranged their affairs yesterday. Alright, you all go down and get busy. Remember, the second son's family affairs this time must not be sloppy. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly withdrew. In fact, I knew in my heart that in the past, this Ye Sisi would definitely say a few more words, but today because this Aunt Lan was here, I didn't want to say anything. It seems that this housewife doesn't want this Aunt Lan to help.
Lan Mei is not in a hurry, she naturally knows in her heart, where is this Ye Sisi willing to let herself interfere, but now this opportunity is rare, no matter how difficult it is, she will snatch some of Ye Sisi's right to be in charge.
"Okay, sister, I'll go and see the list of treats, what about you, just look around and see where my sister can't think about everything." After Ye Sisi finished speaking, he took Zeng Rong and his party away.
Lan Mei didn't follow, didn't she let her look around, she looked around, looked around openly, and the most important thing was to win over these subordinates. Hmph, what she Lanmei has is money, money is a good thing, and it is the best thing to buy people's hearts.
"Mother Zhou, let's go, let's take a look around to see if this lady has not thought about it enough." Lan Mei said deliberately, looking at Ye Sisi, who was walking not far in front, thinking that she should have heard it.
This Ye Sisi naturally heard it, and the fire in her heart couldn't collapse, Zeng Rong gently helped her forward, "Madam, don't be angry, that Aunt Lan is not worth your anger for her." Let her make a fuss for a few days, wait for these few days, let's clean her up again, right now, the second son's family affairs are important. ”
Ye Sisi snorted coldly, "Hmph, that Lan Mei, I really think of myself as a thing, I get angry when I look at it." But as you said, Ning'er's family affairs are important now, let her go first. ”
Lan Mei took people to look around, and from time to time she pretended to be kind enough to ask those subordinates if they needed help, what difficulties they had, and so on. Those subordinates, all of them are afraid that this Lan Mei will come to ask herself, after all, she has only helped for the past few days, and she is not the housewife, so they naturally dare not approach her, if they offend Ye Sisi because of getting close to Lan Mei, wouldn't it hurt themselves.
Lan Mei walked down, and he was discouraged, "Mother Zhou, you said, they are one or two, how can they be so loyal." ”
"Auntie, you are wrong, they are not loyal ladies, they are afraid of ladies. I feel in my heart, auntie, you are not the housewife, you are close to you, and it is not a good thing for them to offend the housewife. So, we can't rush this matter, we have to take our time and win people's hearts little by little. If you give birth to a son soon, then they will slowly get closer to your aunt and be used by your aunt. ”
Lan Mei also knew about it, and she couldn't be in a hurry. So he said, "Then what can you do, first win over one or two, and when this situation is broken, someone is on my side, and naturally they can persuade others to choose to follow me." ”
"Those who are in charge are all Mrs. people, it's not easy to do it right now, let's start with some little girls, don't underestimate these little girls, many of them are born in the family. There is still a certain weight. Zhou's mother thought for a moment and said.
"Well, okay, you can arrange this, I'm tired, go to sleep first. Lest the lord come in the evening, I have no energy. After Lan Mei finished speaking, she went back to Mingtang to rest.
And Zhou's mother, after thinking about it, she had a goal.
The head of this Ye Mansion, in addition to those ladies, is the person of the master of the front yard, and one of them is Lu Wenlu's housekeeper. This housekeeper Lu, who has a daughter named Lu Mei, is on an errand in this study, looks good, and is focused on Ye Ning, thinking about marrying Ye Ning, but this housekeeper Lu does not agree, he thinks that it is better to marry a solid family and be a wife, because the relationship between father and daughter is not harmonious. Madame's people are not easy to move at the moment, but the master's people are different, they are not afraid of Madame's people, so there is often friction between people on both sides. It was Zhou's mother who felt that it would be easier to start with the master's people, after all, they didn't obey those ladies' people, and the benefits were taken by those people, and the good errands were also robbed by those people.
So that night, when Ye Mingyun came to Xiang Mingtang to eat and went to the study to work, this week's mother told this Lan Mei about the person she chose, Lan Mei heard it, and only asked, "Can she do what you said about Lu Mei?" ”
"Auntie, don't worry, this Lu Mei, because she is the daughter of Steward Lu, there are still many people in the backyard who are close to her." Zhou's mother replied.
"But in the end, she cares about Ye Ning, I'm afraid it's still towards Madame." Lan Mei said.
"Auntie, if you want to believe Mother Zhou, I, I have my own way to convince this Lu Mei."
"Why doesn't Mother Zhou think about other people?"
"Auntie, this Lu Mei is the most suitable right now. And she works as an errand in the study, and can bring you news from the master from time to time. In the past, we didn't tear our faces with our wife, and we didn't dare to make a move, but now if you want to fight for a good position, you naturally have to win some important people. Seeing that Lu Mei is not too young, she is in a hurry to get married. Madame kept dragging her, and it was a good time. ”
"Well, that's okay, you take this bracelet and send a bowl of lotus seed soup to the master." Lan Mei thought about it, took out a bracelet from the makeup box and handed it to Zhou's mother and said.
Zhou's mother took the things, took the lotus seed soup, and went to the study. After sending the lotus seed soup, I found Lu Mei.
"Mei'er, are you on an errand today?" As soon as Mother Zhou saw Lu Mei, she smiled and said.
"It turned out to be Zhou's mother." Lu Mei occupies that her father is a housekeeper, thinks she is superior, never takes people in her eyes, and thinks that Zhou Hao, her mother Zhou Hao, is a person in front of her aunt, and she doesn't pay much attention to it.
"Mei'er, look, Mother Zhou has brought you something good." Zhou Hao said, and took out the bracelet.
Lu Mei squinted her eyes and glanced at it, and then she liked it, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times before she said, "Mother Zhou, what do you mean by this, old man?" ”
"Hehe, Mei'er, you also know, Mother Zhou, I follow Aunt Lan, you know the origin of this Aunt Lan, Nan'an Lan family, it is a rich family, I follow my aunt, I haven't seen anything good. This aunt looked at the bracelet and said, "The color is suitable for the little girl to wear, so I will bring it to you." As he spoke, he handed the bracelet to Lu Mei.
Lu Mei took it and said while wearing it, "It's just a bracelet with a bad color, no matter how good things are, although my aunt was born in a rich family, but we are in charge of the lady here, and a lot of good things are in the lady's place, I didn't wear it on my body today, otherwise I will give you a good look, last time, Mrs. gave me a pendant, and the color is called a good one." ”
This Lu Mei knows in her heart that this Aunt Lan will not give things to herself for no reason, but she is not stupid, if she doesn't take something, she is called a fool. This Aunt Lan just said today that she wanted to help run the house, and no one took her seriously, so she thought about buying herself.
Zhou Haokan said this Lu Mei like this, and he was not angry, but said directly, "Come to think of it, Mei'er, you also know why your aunt gave you something." Yes, she did want to woo you. It's just that she doesn't woo so many people, and she comes to you first, do you know why? ”
Lu Mei said, "It's not because I'm the housekeeper's daughter. ”
Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "Although you are the daughter of the housekeeper, this is not considered by my aunt." If you really want to woo you, wouldn't it be better to win over your father or the mother-in-law who is in charge of the backyard. Auntie, she has you in her heart and looks up to you, so she wooed you first. She heard that you like the second son, but your father doesn't want you to marry, just like she did back then. Back then, she liked our master, but her parents didn't agree, after all, you also know, Nan'an's Lan family, so rich, where is she willing to let her daughter be a small one for others? My aunt thinks you're in a similar situation to hers. But after hard work, she finally got her wish. So my aunt thought to see if I could help you fulfill your little wish. ”
When Lu Mei heard this, she was overjoyed, so she asked, "Mother Zhou, are you telling the truth?" Does my aunt really want me to marry my second son? ”
"Of course it's true." Zhou Hao replied.
"Since my aunt knows that I want to marry my second son, I should know that it is much more useful for me to please my wife than to please my aunt." Lu Mei replied that it was precisely because of this that even if Ye Sisi didn't treat him well, he still actively tried to please Ye Sisi.
"Oh, my good Mei'er, say you're shrewd, you're like a fool, say you're stupid, but you're a shrewd. How do you ask me to say hello to you? Zhou Hao said with a smile.
"Mother Zhou, what do you mean by this?" Lu Mei asked.
"Okay Mei'er, do you think, if Madame really wanted to promise you to the second son, she would have promised it a long time ago, so why don't you have a letter until now. She's so beautiful. Just because she knew that you liked the second son, she had to slap her up and please her, so she didn't take you to heart. After all, I don't think you will betray her. But I'm afraid that in her heart, she never thought of marrying you to the second son. ”
"Mother Zhou, don't talk nonsense." Lu Mei didn't want to believe this fact.
