Qi Su Niang entered the Nine Masters' Mansion from the side door, and when she arrived at the hugging mansion in the outer courtyard, she saw a mess of minions in the outer house waiting for something to do and receive things. These daughters-in-law, stewards, and girls saw Qi Suniang come in, and they all greeted Qi Suniang with a smile, Qi Suniang didn't know anyone else, but they recognized the name of Qi Qiang's little servant who stayed in the house.

Wanyan's companion room is the mother of Shuanghong, and she was originally the housekeeper. Although he was sitting in the middle of the hugging building now, he was a little absent-minded, and when he saw Qi Su Niang, he was immediately relieved.

Shi Shi rushed up and said with a smile: "Girl, it's really annoying, it's just that the Fujin here arrived first, Sister-in-law Wen is afraid that she can't turn around, the big housekeeper hasn't returned to the house yet, and the second housekeeper is going around on the master's side, and now I ask the girl to take care of it." ”

Qi Su Niang knew that they were used to waiting in front of the Fujin of various prefectures, and it was safe, although she didn't like to go outside, she could only nod and ask, "Where is the ninth master?" ”

Shi said: "The ninth master is in the outer hall." He turned his head and said, "Brothers and sisters-in-law, if you are the big housekeeper, please invite Miss Qi to come over and preside over the affairs outside." The gentlemen are all outside, the brothers and sisters-in-law are all more concerned, if the ninth master loses his dignity under his nose, the whole family will be thrown out, and no one will intercede at that time, don't complain. As he spoke, he gave the pair, key, and account book to Qi Su Niang.

The servants of the fifteen families naturally have eyes, the master is on the fire, Qi Su Niang is just a temporary generation, and she can't compete for the position of deputy steward, she is the sister of the second steward, if she says a good word, I'm afraid it's not better than them? It's all about catching up and stammering.

Qi Su Niang listened to them report their ministry, there were the Master who received gifts, greeted the Master, the Master of utensils, the person of the fire candle, the person who rode the horse, the Master of the sprinkling and sweeping, the Master of the tea, the Master of the table, the Master of the Kitchen, the Master of the Treasurer, and the special director of the Kunyi Opera Troupe, the Hangzhou Kitchen Master, plus the five rooms that were thrown out, all of them, each performing its own duties, very clear.

If you know something, explain the errands under your own hands one by one, and when you meet someone who wants to be in charge, you will make the precedent clear, please Qi Su Niang have an idea, and she doesn't need to rack her brains to worry about it.

Qi Su Niang stayed in the palace in the end, and the things in Cining Palace were even more troublesome, she took advantage of Qi Qiang's light to sort out the urgent matters one by one, and then called Fu Ming to come over, help with accounting and card issuance, and everything went smoothly, and there was no one in the building after a while, I couldn't help but admire Qin Daoran's means, I thought I had expected this, so I went to invite her.

Just thinking about it, the people outside reported again, the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had arrived first, and the ninth master followed in person, seeing that the other masters and clan relatives were also about to arrive in a blink of an eye, and asked the girl to go to the front to support.

Qi Su Niang nodded, walked out of the hugging building, and arrived in the front hall, and sure enough, she saw that the ninth master was talking in the hall with the eighth master and the tenth master.

Fu Ming stood outside the hall and waited, Qi Su Niang walked up, threw the handkerchief and asked for peace, and said with a smile: "Master, the slave and maid come over to listen to the dispatch." "She was not in the banner, and she was not a person in the house, she usually called herself a people's daughter, but now she wants to pretend to be a slave, so she has done it all.

The ninth master obviously listened to Qin Daoran's letter, and when he saw her like this, he was also satisfied, looked at her a few times, nodded and said: "You are the queen mother and the person in front of the emperor, no better than the slave who shrunk his hands and feet and can't stand on the stage, he knows decency the most, do a good job, and now that the matter is over, the master will naturally reward you." After that, he waved his hand and said, "Say hello to the eighth and tenth masters." ”

Qi Su Niang secretly sighed, lowered her eyes, and walked over to salute properly: "The slave maid greets the eighth and tenth masters." Hearing the sound of the tea cup resting on the table, the eighth master said gently: "Let's get up." ”

Qi Su Niang stood up slowly, and then she heard Fu Ming hurriedly come in, and called Qian'er to report: "Master, the eldest elder brother has arrived, and the fourth elder brother has arrived." ”

Several elder brothers hurriedly stood up and greeted them, Qi Su Niang went out of the hall, and specially told Fu Ming to send someone to pick up the personal eunuchs of the elder brothers, give them a few more decency, and think about the rules of the palace, and invited the master of Si Cha to say that the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother are in the palace tea drinking preferences, and then followed behind the ninth master and arrived at the door.

Before the ninth elder brother had time to say a few more words with the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother, the cars and horses outside were parked all over the street, and the fifth elder brother, seventh elder brother, and twelfth elder brother had arrived.

Qi Su Niang hurriedly stepped forward, followed by the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother, lowered their heads and saluted: "The slave maid greets the eldest elder brother and the fourth master." The two masters, please come with the slave and maid. ”

The eldest brother and the fourth elder brother were talking, and they didn't look at her, Qi Su Niang didn't dare to disturb, and walked slowly behind.

The eldest brother is obviously familiar with the Ninth Master's Mansion, and when he went directly to the front hall, there was a tea master serving clear tea, and the eldest brother turned his head to pick up the tea and looked at it, and laughed: "Qin Daoran's ability is getting bigger and bigger, and these small rules can also be taken to heart, no wonder the ninth brother obeys his words." ”

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly, also took the tea, took a sip, swept his eyes over the hall door, and saw Qi Su Niang, who told the rest of the elder brothers what the tea master liked, was slightly stunned, frowned again, and turned his head to talk and laugh with the eldest brother.

The eighth master and the tenth master accompanied the fifth master and several other elder brothers into the door, the elder brother and younger brother were lively, Qi Su Niang saw that the auspicious time was coming, beckoned Fu Ming to stare at the side, and went out to the door to invite the ninth master. The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers in front of the door hurried over, and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, when we left the palace, the prince was being summoned by the emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up today." ”

Brother Jiu smiled even more thickly, "That really happened." After that, he turned around and saw Qi Su Niang, and said, "Come and follow the thirteenth master, the fourteenth master." ”
