Chapter 248: Cash Cow Cornucopia
The young lady came to the kitchen coldly, and the people inside and outside were busy, but when she finally had the opportunity to see the bride's face, many people rushed out.
Zhu family, Fuyi has lived here for so long before, and there are still many people who have never seen her.
The kitchen steward has changed to a new person, a middle-aged woman with a refreshing and kind face, the one who was removed by the eldest lady last time, whether it is really offended, or cooperating with the eldest lady to act, is now gone.
"The three-day wedding, it's really hard for everyone, the third son has a reward, and he will send it later." Fu Yi said gently and generously, "After that, the steward will make arrangements to let you take turns to rest for a day or two, and in addition to the reward of the third son, the old lady ordered everyone to receive double the monthly money this month." ”
Everyone was happy, busy and thankful, the steward asked Fuyi to rest aside, and Fuyi visited the kitchen up and down, she remembered that Cuizhu said that the eldest lady's meal was also prepared here.
But the family population is so large, no one cares about more or less, each person has their own courtyard that they are responsible for serving, but only the individual himself knows where to send it after taking it out.
"Young lady, what do you have to tell the little one." The steward said earnestly, "Or if you think of something later, you don't have to come to this smoky place yourself, and send someone to pass the word to the little one." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "I'm just here to say a word of hard work to you, when my mother has to be free, come to Qingqiu Pavilion to sit and have a cup of tea." ”
The steward was busy: "The little ones don't dare to be." ”
There are elderly and qualified subordinates in the family, such as Rui Mama Zhou's mother's generation, and the sons and girls are very respectful when they see it, and they are treated like elders.
Fu Yi is polite at the moment, this is the truth, and the new steward is obviously very useful.
"Xiao Yuan was serving the tea and rice of the masters in the village, and this year he burned high incense and was transferred to the mansion." The steward smiled and said, "I can serve the young lady, I am really fortunate to have three lives, the little one has already inquired about the preferences of the young lady, and has also learned a few Kishu-style dishes, although the cooking skills are not good, but one day you are homesick, just ask the little one to do it to relieve your boredom." ”
Fuyi listened to the housekeeper's mother, and he didn't dare to say that it was to relieve his hunger, only to relieve his boredom, and how to say that he was greedy when he wanted to be a subordinate.
Her aunt taught her that since she had divided the dignity and the inferiority, and she was honored, she could not lose her dignity.
At this moment, Fuyi suddenly understood that she should have noble self-respect, and the people below should also have the consciousness of humility, in fact, the master and the servant must strictly abide by the proportions here.
"You are busy, the rewards of the third prince will be sent later, buying, taking charge, side dishes, passing dishes, and lighting the fire and washing dishes, each has different merits, and the son has been assigned." Fu Yi smiled at her meaningfully, "The days to come will be long, a little bit of the third son's heart, everyone wants to have fun." ”
The steward understood that the young lady meant to tell her not to be greedy.
Naturally, for this wedding, the reward she received and the oil and water she got from it were already too much, and she really didn't care about the silver in Qingqiu Pavilion.
But the important thing is that the bride is the future duchess, and the person who will be the head of the house in the future is not good for the expense of offending the help.
"The lord wants a few light vegetables and vegetables, don't eat fishy and greasy things tonight." Fu Yi instructed, "The old lady's house is too, and even the soup should be lighter." ”
Everyone hugged the young lady and left, and not long after walking out of the kitchen, someone from the backyard who came to the kitchen to deliver firewood and charcoal was stopped on the side of the road, waiting for the young lady to go first.
Fuyi didn't know anyone, so he walked straight forward, and suddenly a woman knelt down and said, "Say hello to the young lady." ”
Although this is not in accordance with the rules, when she saw that Fuyi stopped, the people around her told her: "Young lady, this is Cuizhu and her mother who used to be on an errand in our yard." ”
Hearing this, Fu Yi couldn't help but take another look.
Seeing that the young lady was paying attention, the woman was busy and saluted, and said, "Don't be busy, get up, how is Cuizhu now?" I heard she was pregnant. ”
"Yes, yes, it's hard for the master to remember." Cui Zhu Niang's face was flattering, and she didn't have to think much to understand that she wanted to ask for some rewards.
But Fu Yi has ordered Citron to privately think of sending silver to Cuizhu, just thinking that giving this woman may not be in Cuizhu's hands, and now she is generous and rewards in public, and people are not sure how to treat her as a wronged boss in the future, and big and small things will come to please and reward, and it is not not not not to give it when the time comes.
Fu Yi quietly looked at the faces of the people around him, obviously not convinced, and they all guessed what Cuizhu Niang's purpose was.
It's better to offend one person than to offend so many people, not to mention that Fuyi doesn't want to give this woman money at all.
"Take good care of her." Fu Yi smiled faintly and turned away with his subordinates.
After they walked away, there was a faint sound of laughter behind them, and the laughter was sarcastic and sarcastic, and the help could be heard.
At this time, Cuizhu's mother must be squeezed by others, and she can't bear to help her, but when she thinks of marrying off such a young daughter, she can't be angry, although it is not necessarily good to be a slave here, but Cuizhu is still so young, she has to marry and have children, which is too ruthless.
When I returned to Qingqiu Pavilion, I heard that the eldest master wanted to go over for dinner by himself, so I went back to the room to change a set of clothes.
When there was only citron in the house, when he talked about Cuizhu's mother, he sighed: "That day Yingzhi told me that I don't have to worry too much about things at home, just care about giving money in the future, I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand." In the eyes of the subordinates, in the eyes of the clan and clan, I am now a cash cow and a cornucopia, and if you make a wish to me, you can expect me to scatter money. ”
Citron asked in a low voice: "The third prince gave you all his belongings, how many?" ”
Fu Yi thought for a while and said, "It's enough for Daddy to buy land and build a house, and then open a dozen academies." ”
Citron opened his mouth wide: "Childe is only in his early twenties, where did he get so much gold and silver." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "The elders gave it." ”
Citron asked again: "Then why does this family have so much money?" ”
The reason why the Zhu family can inherit for three hundred years and still be extremely rich is because the ancestors are not sitting on the mountain for generations, but planting trees and seedlings for the family inheritance, and it is endless.
Citron asked, "In whose hands are all this money?" ”
The master and servant came to Xinghua Hall and said, "The old lady has it, and the eldest lord and the eldest lady inherit it, and the two sides add up to about seven or eighty percent." The rest belongs to the entire Zhu family, which is managed by the clan and dividends every year, but everything recorded in the genealogy can receive some according to the distance of relatives. ”
Citron shook his head when he heard this: "Come over the share, this one who lives far away, go back and forth to the capital to get some silver, it's not enough for the travel expenses." ”
Fu Yi said: "There is naturally knowledge here, and I have to learn it slowly, and I feel that there are many things piled up in my hands all of a sudden, and I have to sort it out." ”
After coming to Xinghua Hall, I saw Aunt Liu and Aunt Chu waiting under the eaves, they were originally here to serve the eldest master, but when Fuyi came tonight, they didn't need them.
Just because it was rare to see them, they had the heart to wait, and stepped forward and saluted: "Auntie is well." ”
The two didn't dare to be, so they hurriedly returned the salute and called Fu Yi: "Young lady." ”
The father-in-law was still waiting inside, and he didn't dare to say anything more to the two of them, so after bowing his respects, he came in.
Zhu Rong heard the movement outside and asked his wife, "Have you seen your aunts?" ”
Fu Yi bowed: "Yes, Fang is just saying hello to the aunts." ”
Zhu Rong said to his father: "Why don't you ask the aunts to sit together?" ”
Zhu Chengqian rolled his eyes at his son: "Are they qualified to sit at the same table with you?" While looking at his daughter-in-law, "Fuyi sat down, I have something to say." ”
After Fu Yiyao, he sat down next to Brother Rong in a proper manner, lowered his head slightly, and couldn't look at his father-in-law.
Zhu Chengqian said: "I originally planned to deal with Jin Dongsheng, thinking that he would make trouble in front of the palace today, it seems that the straw bag is also a little calculated, knowing that these housework can't be troubled to the court, not to mention that his son is rude first." But this does not mean that this matter is over, and the person who holds the most grudges will inevitably find trouble with you in the future. ”
Zhu Rong said: "My son understands that this matter is reckless on the part of my son." ”
At this table, there is no part to speak, according to the rules, her father-in-law and husband do not ask questions, and she cannot take the initiative to speak.
Although there is a lot of dissatisfaction and disgust in her heart, she doesn't understand why a woman is inferior when she is alive, but for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of a long time in the future, for the sake of her beloved, and even for herself, she must endure.
Zhu Chengqian said: "When I meet that family again in the future, be far away, the most difficult thing is the scoundrel ruffian, you honor Sven, don't let people compare you with those straw bales." ”
Zhu Rong was not convinced: "Why is my father afraid of a straw bale, you have been in the court for many years, who have you been afraid of?" ”
Zhu Chengqian said angrily: "You don't understand my words? He turned to Fuyi and asked, "What about you, do you understand?" ”
Fuyi got up and said: "My daughter-in-law understands that if I meet the Jin family again in the future, I must persuade my husband to stay away and not have anything to do with them." ”
Zhu Chengqian ordered her to sit down, and then asked, "How many days will you leave Beijing with Rong'er on an errand?" ”
Fu Yi had to get up again and said: "When I mentioned this matter in front of the old lady, the daughter-in-law didn't understand what to say, thinking that I wanted to ask my father and mother to show me, and the wife's room was always a little unorthodox to follow, and the daughter-in-law didn't dare to make the decision without permission." ”
Zhu Rong said on the side: "Father, we have only been married for a few days, and we are going to separate, so this is not a formality." ”
