Chapter 40: The Managing Family

Ning Xiangju's manpower finally returned to the way it was before Chen Muzhi left home.

Eight maids, eight servants, and a number of servants who ran errands.

But Chen Muzhi only trusts the four people of vine flower, catkins, Guerlain, and A terrier. Because Fujihua and Guerlain had been in the mansion for a long time, Chen Muzhi asked for their opinions, and assigned two servants, Qiu Mama and Geng Mama, to be the stewards of the outer courtyard.

Don't look at Chen Muzhi who has only been back for a few days, she mobilized all the memories of her previous life, and observed for a few more days, confirming that the two little maids and the two servants in the outer courtyard who stayed in Ning Xiangju at the beginning were not the same thing.

The catkins and the terrier are young and have no people. But the two servant women are overwhelmed, one is lazy and lazy, and would rather stay in the incense house where there is no need to serve people; One is old and dizzy, but he is a hundred times more energetic, and he is also doing something wrong, which makes people helpless.

On that day, the old lady of the Zheng family said that Zheng Cunfang was already fourteen and a half years old, so she was not in a hurry to get married, but she also had to learn housekeeping from her mother.

This reminded Chen Muzhi.

Previously, when she was still Chen Muxi, she was married to Wei Xu, and her father also said before the expedition that if she married into Prince Yi's mansion in the future, the princess would be the housewife sooner or later, so she asked Wang to teach her how to read accounts and how to regulate her subordinates.

It's just that as soon as his father left, Wang said that he was not in a hurry, and when Chen Muxi recuperated, he would teach him by hand.

Therefore, Chen Muxi has not really come into contact with these.

Now if you want to revitalize Ningxiangju, it is better to start by taking care of Ningxiangju, and if you can't be a housewife, you can also be a "lady in charge".

So Chen Muzhi and the Wang family made it clear that they gave the old servant woman a sum of money, sent her home to support the elderly, and asked the Wang family to make up another servant woman.

The manpower transferred by the Wang family is not entirely suspicious. In addition to the obvious joy and happiness, there are also ambiguous positions.

And Mama Qiu and Mama Geng, who were selected to be the stewards of the outer courtyard, are old grandmothers who have nothing to do with the Wang family, and they are both people who were transferred from Zhuangzi in the early years, and they are not good at camping on weekdays, so they have never been in the eyes of the master.

When they first heard that they had been chosen to be in charge, the two grandmothers were surprised and delighted.

Seeing that although the old lady was no longer able to be an errand, she was treated kindly, the two of them even thought that following Chen Muzhi would have good results, and expressed their heartfelt words in clumsy language at the moment.

Chen Muzhi said that she didn't like to hear or watch.

How many beautiful things to say, it is better to do some beautiful things in a down-to-earth manner. She Chen Muzhi will never treat her own people badly.

Every morning, Ning Xiangju also takes turns to perform things in a decent manner.

Chen Muzhi sat on the chair in the main hall, and all the maids and servants in Ning Xiangju stood in a group, reporting one by one what they had done and what they thought.

Chen Muzhi said, I don't want you to be gorgeous or witty, just explain things clearly, which is the best report.

The simplest, for example: yesterday the slave maid dried two sets of mattresses and washed five winter clothes, which ones are not good to use, but they need to be replaced with new ones, and which ones are old, but they can be re-played and continued to be used for the second year......

Etcetera.

Chen Muzhi listened attentively, and if he didn't understand, he asked vine or Guerlain on the spot.

Or rattan flowers or Guerlain couldn't explain it for a while, so Chen Muzhi kept it in his heart, and asked the old lady when he went to Zheng's house later.

The old lady didn't expect that the granddaughter who danced with her father all day long would have the heart to learn to manage housework, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

This distress, the old lady not only devoted herself to teaching, but also asked Guan to set an example for Chen Muzhi when teaching Zheng Cunfang.

The old lady has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and her knowledge is very comparable.

is the Guan family, who is also from a family, has a good upbringing, and has been in the Zheng family for many years, and is a very suitable person.

With these two people taking care of it, how can Chen Muzhi not be diligent.

*

On this day, Chen Muzhi returned to the Guogong Mansion, remembering that the Guan family taught her to read the account book during the day, and her heart moved, so she asked Ah Terrier to call Mama He.

Since Wang Hualan was driven out of Liuxiangju, those servants from Wuzhou have also been cleared out, although Mama He has not regained the position of steward, her waist is much harder than before.

As soon as she entered the house, Mama He bowed in a proper manner.

"These days, I'm often in the Zheng family, and Liuxiangju has fallen less, and it's still stable, right?"

"Miss Hui, Liuxiangju is now an empty garden, and the things of the eldest lady were sealed earlier, so they don't need a lot of hands. Miss Uncle took all the manpower in Wuzhou, and Mrs. transferred some of them, and now it is very quiet. ”

Chen Muzhi smiled and nodded.

It seems that the Wang family knows that the objects of Liuxiangju cannot be moved, and Chen Muxi's jewelry and treasures have a clear book, so they can't make up their minds anymore.

But what was left by the biological mother back then was not only the dazzling jewelry and the house full of treasures, but also the shops and Zhuangzi that accompanied the marriage, and those land deeds and house deeds were all kept by the Wang family.

"I wonder if there's any movement over there Mr. He?" Chen Muzhi asked again.

Mama He said: "As soon as Miss told the slave maid last time, the slave maid went to find her younger brother He Mingsheng. Mingsheng said that Miss Dingwei was keeping an eye on it, and if there was anything abnormal, she would tell me immediately. ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Muzhi nodded, still giving a warm smile.

Seeing Mama He away, the smile on Chen Muzhi's face froze.

When there were only two people in the room, Fujihua said, "Miss is suspicious of Mama He?" ”

Chen Muzhi shook his head slowly: "No." Mama He is loyal, she really misses my sister for being kind to Ah Terrier, and she sincerely repays her kindness. ”

Fujihua said: "Miss, you are also good to Ah Terrier." ”

"If you treat me sincerely, I will be good to her."

Chen Muzhi walked to the bookcase, took out a silver ticket from a box, looked at it repeatedly, and was distracted.

"Miss, you've seen it several times, and if you look at it again, you can't see the flowers." Fujika smiled.

Chen Muzhi said: "Mother probably wouldn't have thought that this silver ticket would fall to me. ”

"So, even though I redeemed a thousand taels, why did Mr. He say that there was nothing unusual in the account in the house?"
