Chapter 6 Leader
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Since Jiang Zhen flicked his sleeves away that night, Zhou Yuyan smashed a room of tea saucers, and didn't sleep all night with his eyes open, until dawn, when he was about to fall asleep. When she woke up, she heard that the old man had set off early in the morning, so she had a bad breath in her chest, and she couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, and she fell ill immediately.
Thinking of spending so much Zhou Zhang, but ending up like this, Zhou Yuyan's illness inevitably increased by three points, and he lay on the bed and hummed. Frightened, the son and daughter-in-law asked for a doctor, asked for medicine, and served the sick.
Zhou Yuyan watched a room of people surrounded by a bang, and was bored in his heart, so he drove everyone away, leaving only his second son.
Jiang Hongsheng knew in his heart that his mother was not worried about the whereabouts of those two people. Sure enough, after a few words, Zhou asked about people. Jiang Hongsheng had already finished the draft, but said that he had gone to the northwest with the caravan and sold it to a family in the northwest. And this family is a distant relative of the Hou Mansion, so that the mother doesn't have to worry about it anymore, let these two people fend for themselves.
Zhou pondered for a long time, but didn't say anything. asked about his son's career, and learned that Zhizhou's appointment was coming down soon, and his heart was slightly relieved. Let Mama Qian hand over the keys to the treasury and account books to her son.
She said tiredly: "Now that I have low energy and am sick now, let your daughter-in-law help me take care of the house for a few days." There is only one thing, the food and clothing of the old house are all the best, and you can't slack off. Fresh food is the first to be on the other side. This winter in the south is very cold and damp, so send more good silver frost carbon. Every half a month, someone asks the lord to say goodbye. ”
Jiang Hongsheng didn't dare to say more, and Nuo Nuo said yes.
Jiang Hong walked out of Guiyun Hall on the front foot, and Aunt Zhou brought her daughter Jiang Xinshan to ask for peace on the back foot.
Jiang Xinshan is five years old and looks very handsome and likable. As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself into Zhou's arms, and his grandmother kept screaming, coaxing Zhou's eyebrows to spread, his mouth to smile, and he hugged the meat in his arms, and the treasure was crooked for a long time.
Aunt Zhou saw that the fire was coming, and Fang smiled and said, "Why did my aunt let the Gu family take care of the family?" ”
As soon as Aunt Zhou entered the door and pouted her buttocks, Zhou Yujing knew what shit she was going to pull, and her eyes motioned to Mama Qian to pull Jiang Xinshan outside with snacks.
After her granddaughter left, she stroked her forehead and said in a deep voice: "The master took the four girls and replaced them with the three girls, are you willing?" ”
Aunt Zhou raised her eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "Do I want to have anything to do with the Gu family's housekeeper?" ”
Zhou Yuyan glanced at her niece and felt a terrible headache. Does this fool have to speak so clearly to react? The cause and effect of this, how did she open her mouth? I had to say sharply: "Who do I let take care of the house, is it difficult for you to agree first?" ”
As soon as Aunt Zhou was obedient, she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, which was a big crime to contradict her mother-in-law. What's more, she has today, all relying on this aunt who is separated from the room. This backer, she can't afford to offend no matter what.
"Auntie, look at what you said, how dare I do this! I'm just afraid of my eldest brother, and my sister-in-law has gossip on the other side, which makes you angry. ”
It stands to reason that a concubine is qualified to call the uncle of the house, and the grandmother is the eldest brother and sister-in-law. changed the door to a strict person, and the board was beaten out early.
The Zhou family said as if he hadn't heard it: "Okay, go down, make a few more new jackets for Brother Hang and Sister Shan, it's almost the New Year, and it's time to be festive." You also go to the shop and choose some good clothes and order some jewelry. But go to the tent and give the money, and say that I have spoken of it. ”
Zhou was overjoyed.
Zhou stroked the forehead on his head, and said: "Brother Hang'er is eight years old this year, hold it tight, don't let him mess with those maids all day long." In the second half of your life, your glory and wealth will point to him. ”
When Aunt Zhou heard this, why bother who was the housekeeper, she twisted her waist happily, hummed a little song and left.
Zhou nodded with satisfaction. Although this Xiuyue is a little stupid, being stupid also has the advantage of being stupid. A few good words, a little benefit, can easily send people away, better than those who think they are smart and have hidden scheming!
Because the Chen family got the rice shop, and the uncle explained again and again, he had nothing to say about the Gu family. In this way, Gu Yuzhen took charge of the house calmly
……
Since the Jiang Mansion opened the mansion and lived in the mansion, the people in the big house and the second room added up, and there were only a dozen masters, and there were more than 100 people in the lower rooms.
Among the hundreds of subordinates, they were divided into two factions. One faction is the original son of the Jiang family, and their ancestors have been attached to the Jiang family for generations. Over the years, with the Zhou family's master, it has long been gone, and the assigned ones are all hard work, and they have already complained behind their backs, but they dare not speak out.
The other faction is the people brought by the Zhou family from the Hou Mansion, which belong to the Zhou family's descendant troops. Because of the relationship between the housewife and the mother, for decades, it has firmly occupied the Jiang family's various fat differences, which are poor, and the benefits are great.
As soon as these two factions saw that the Gu family was in charge, they had their own calculations behind their backs, but they were still a harmonious group on their faces.
After Gu Yuzhen took over the housekeeper, she handled the affairs of the house according to the daily rules. In other words, what rules the old lady had when she was housekeeper, what rules are still there now. No matter how big or small, report to the old lady first, and then see what the old lady wants to do.
When the subordinates of the Jiang family saw this situation, their hearts were half cold, and the little abacus in their hearts had to be silenced. The old man under the Zhou family was overjoyed, and gradually, he didn't take the Gu family in his eyes, and only did superficial things.
Gu Yuzhen was not annoyed, when she encountered a few troublemakers, she first went to the old lady to criticize herself, and cried about the difficulties by the way.
When Zhou saw Gu's behaving like this, he was really proud in his heart for two days, and said coldly to Mama Qian: "In the end, it is a daughter from a small family, and she can't even be a family." ”
Mama Qian said with a smile: "** Milk is not a good family, and my wife can't teach her well." ”
Zhou squinted his eyes slightly and sighed: "I have long said that the daughter of a small family can't be married, and I don't understand the world at all, and I haven't seen anything in the world, so I look like a small family." I don't know what Hongsheng likes about her. ”
It turned out that the Zhou family let the second daughter-in-law take charge of the house, half of it was because of her body, and the other half was also to cage her son and appease her daughter-in-law. How much sincerity and wish there is in my heart can be known from these half-sour words.
Mama Qian didn't dare to answer, so she only sent the medicine cup to her wife's mouth.
A few days later, Zhou was overjoyed when he saw that Gu was tired of coping, and deliberately hinted that a few subordinates were making a mess behind their backs, just waiting to sit and watch a good show.
Gu Yuzhen saw that the old lady was secretly stumbling in order to delegate power, and she sneered in her heart. After thinking about it all night, I ordered the mother-in-law in the courtyard to leave the courtyard door early at night.
Jiang Hongsheng went to Gu's place for three days in a row and touched the nail, his mind turned slightly, how could there be a reason that he didn't understand. On the second day, he called several managers in the house to him and asked some things about the family with a cold face.
Who is not a smart person who can do this position? The greatest advantage of a smart person is that he is good at figuring out the thoughts of his master. The second master's cold face, the managers secretly thought about it, and they thought of a little taste, daring to love that the second master was supporting the ** milk.
As soon as the man supports the waist, the woman's heart will have confidence, and the behavior is a little different from the previous one. The stewards watched it quietly for a few more days, and their hearts were relieved, and they slowly converged
Gu Shi saw the actions of several managers, and his heart was slightly relieved. A table of wine and food was set up that night, and Jiang Hongsheng was specially invited to the room.
The husband and wife had some food and drink. When Jiang Hongsheng saw that his daughter-in-law had only been a homemaker for a few days, his face was much lighter, and he couldn't bear it, so he secretly told her what to do...... Gu Shisu had a pretty face, and nodded frequently.
Within a few days, Zhou felt a little overwhelmed.
What do you say? It turned out that Gu Yuzhen ran to Guiyuntang seventeen or eighteen times a day, reporting everything to the left and asking for instructions on the right, big and small, no matter how big or small, all of them replied to the Zhou family. Even the masters in the needlework room had to say what kind of fabric and what colors they embroidered for this season's spring shirts, and they had to be sent by Zhou before they dared to distribute them.
Zhou's original son was not very good, and he ate bitter medicine three times a day. This is good, Gu talked back and forth during dinner, and after taking a nap, Gu talked back and forth, and finally it was night, and Gu also trotted all the way to Guiyuntang to reply. It's all small things the size of sesame seeds, and I heard that Zhou Yuyan had a headache, and his back was sore, and he didn't sleep peacefully at night for several days.
The doctor who diagnosed the pulse saw Zhou's complexion and was afraid of ruining his reputation, so he said sharply: "If the wife doesn't take good care of it, she will always drag it, and it will be a miracle medicine in vain at that time." ”
Zhou Yu's face turned white with fright when he heard this, and in a fit of anger, he called Gu to him and scolded him for being bloody.
Gu knelt on the ground, and did not argue for himself, only quietly wiped his tears, and waited for his mother-in-law to scold and feel comfortable, and then quietly explained the reason.
Mrs., my daughter-in-law also wants to be dignified and commanding, and don't let your old man worry about it, but your subordinates of the Zhou family don't take me seriously. Daughter-in-law, I was also forced to have no choice, so I could only use the majesty of the old lady to handle those slaves.
Zhou pondered for a long time with a calm face, feeling that his own life was more important than the matter of the housekeeper. Then she asked Mama Qian to gather all the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion in Guiyun Hall and beat a few words sternly.
When the slaves saw that their wives had spoken, their hearts sank, and they were a little afraid of the Gu family!
There is a way to govern the country like governing the family, and the emperor Lao'er is surrounded by loyal ministers and traitors, and the slaves in the family are naturally divided into loyal slaves and slaves. Seeing that the first step was safe, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and decided to take the second step by the way.
Within a few days, the old lady's companion room was found in the big kitchen, and the kitchen manager Wang Er's family stole chickens and dogs, and privately deducted the silver, which was shoddy. Gu Yuzhen didn't say a word, tied up the mother-in-law and sent it directly to his wife, asking for instructions on how to send it.
If you want to talk about the errand in the house, the kitchen is the most profitable. Rice, flour, grain, meat, charcoal, all of which have to be done, and many things have been done in this way.
The second daughter-in-law of the king believes: The kitchen is my home, and I take it at home if I lack anything. Rice and noodles, even if she moves home from time to time, even the bird's nest is a valuable thing, she dares to hide it with her conscience. It is said that if you walk too much at night, you can always meet ghosts. This time, the human and material evidence were all there, and he was arrested alive.
It happened that on that day, Jiang Hongsheng came back from eating wine outside and went to his wife's room to say goodbye, and happened to hear Gu Shi talking about it. After listening carefully to a few sounds, he immediately started to attack with the strength of alcohol, claiming that such a slave needs to be sent to the official before he can make an example.
When the second family heard that they were going to be sent to the official, they were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
After a few thoughts, Zhou's family was sent to Zhuangzi for retirement on the second day. The so-called pension, but when it comes to external rhetoric, the actual situation is plummeting.
After killing a fat chicken, who would dare to try the knife?
