Gong Yuwan stopped and looked this way. Seeing Cen Ziman, he was obviously stunned, then nodded and smiled and called: "Miss Cen." He stood there quietly, waiting for Cen Ziman's next words. Since she didn't rush to ask her what was going on, her attitude was not cold, and she was quiet and polite, which made people feel good for no reason.

This girl is good.

Xia Jin stood in the distance, nodding secretly in his heart.

From what happened just now, it can be seen that this girl has a very successful heart. He has the kindness to help others, but he does not give kindness indiscriminately, and he also knows how to use means. But on the surface, it is gentle and gentle. In the face of such a person, you are embarrassed to be angry.

What is rare is that this girl is still extremely beautiful.

Thinking like this, Xia Jin felt that if Luo Qian could marry such a daughter-in-law, he would definitely forget his previous relationship and be happy from then on.

"Ah Jin, come here." Cen Ziman turned around and beckoned.

Xia Jin had no choice but to pass.

"Ah Jin, let me introduce you to you, this is the second girl of the Gong family, named Yuwan." Cen Ziman said, and introduced Xia Jin to Gong Yuwan, "This is the county lord of Yong'an." "Colorful.

I think that when Xia Jin went to the banquet with her, many ladies laughed at her for getting so close to a country girl, it was like losing her identity. But at this time, everyone praised her for her good vision, and when the identity of the county lord of Yong'an was weak, she became irreversible with her. So in front of the ladies, every time Xia Jin was introduced, Cen Ziman looked proud.

Gong Yuwan stepped forward and saluted, and the original faint smile suddenly became a little more sincere: "Yuwan has seen the county lord of Yong'an. The county lord is righteous and talented, and Yu Wan admires it very much. ”

"Miss Gong praised it falsely." Xia Jin gave him a boost and invited, "I wonder if I can ask the girl to talk about it?" ”

Gong Yuwan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Naturally, there is no problem." Don't hide it from the county lord. Since hearing about the deeds of the county lord, Yu Wan yearns for it and looks forward to seeing the county lord. Now that there is a chance to talk about it, Yuwan can't ask for it. ”

Hey, this girl is still a lively person, and she is not as silent as Cen Ziman said.

Xia Jin's eyes flashed. Pointing to his restaurant, he said, "I opened it with Aman." There is a private room above, which is quite quiet. Why don't we go up there and talk? ”

Gong Yuwan smiled and said, "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the county lord." ”

The three of them entered the restaurant, and Xia Jin led them directly to the private room that they had just come out. Pushing the door, I saw Su Muxian and Luo Qian standing up, as if they were about to leave. She pretended to be stunned for a moment, and said before Su Muxian could speak: "Hey, why are you here?" He winked at the two of them.

I made good friends with Xia Jin. Almost all of them are exquisite. Even Cen Ziman, a big girl, has no less heart and eyes. Su Muxian and Luo Qian saw her like this. Another glimpse of a strange girl standing behind Xia Jin, although I don't know what happened, it was still no problem to understand what she wanted to convey.

Su Mu smiled idly: "Why are you here?" Now that you're here, let's come in and sit together. I'm having something to tell you. ”

Xia Jin hesitated. turned his head and glanced at Cen Ziman and Gong Yuwan.

As if he didn't see Xia Jin's hesitation, Cen Ziman went directly to the door and found a place to sit down, and asked Su Muxian, "Cousin." Are you talking to people here? ”

She asked this to cover up the two-person tea cup they had left on the table. This teacup Xiao Er hasn't had time to collect it yet.

"Well, I made an appointment with a colleague to sit here. They just left. Su Mu said idly and instructed Ah Yan, "Remove the tea cup on the table, and ask someone to bring a good pot of tea." ”

Ah Yan hurriedly cleaned up the two sets of tea cups on the table and went out.

"Miss Gong?" Xia Jin used his eyes to solicit Gong Yuwan's opinion.

Gong Yuwan glanced at Su Muxian and Luo Qian without a trace, and nodded at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin walked in at this time, and introduced to everyone: "This is the second girl of the Gong family." He pointed at Su Muxian and Luo Qian and said: "This is Wu Anhou, this is the emperor's new head of the military department." ”

Hearing Su Muxian's name, Gong Yuwan also bowed generously; When she heard Luo Qian's name, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at him, and then her face turned two flushes, and when she squatted down to salute, she looked very uncomfortable.

The three onlookers glanced at each other, and smiles appeared in their eyes.

It seems that Lord Gong of the Ministry of War wants to make Luo Qian his son-in-law, and Gong Yuwan knows about it.

Luo Qian didn't expect that what he said to Cen Ziman was still there, she and Xia Jin brought the second girl of the Gong family in, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he returned the gift, but he used to hide his emotions, and he didn't show any of it on his face, he waved at Gong Yuwan generously, and glanced at her, this glance was fleeting, and his attitude was very calm.

His natural attitude made Gong Yuwan relax a lot, and after sitting down with Xia Jin, his expression returned to normal.

"These few times you went to the house to see my mother, I was on duty in the palace. Although her old man has improved somewhat, it is not clear what her condition is. Tell me, what is her situation now, and can she get better completely? Su Muxian had a reason for "I have something to tell you", so he took the illness of Mrs. Wu'an Hou as a topic.

Xia Jin naturally dropped the bookbag very cooperatively, and the clouds and mountains covered the old lady Wu'an Hou's illness.

While the two of them were talking, Xia Jin found that Gong Yuwan raised his eyes from time to time to secretly look at Luo Qian. And Luo Qian also looked at Gong Yuwan quietly, but in comparison, his gaze was much more quiet.

After telling Su Muxian about Mrs. Wu'anhou's illness, Xia Jin quietly pulled the topic to the side, and sure enough, not only Cen Ziman, who had heard all the passing, was interested, but Gong Yuwan's eyes also lit up. Especially when Luo Qian was telling how they touched the enemy camp at night and attacked him, Gong Yuwan's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Obviously, she still has some interest in Luo Qian.

Everyone drank tea and ate snacks, and sat for half an hour before getting up and leaving.

Sent Gong Yuwan to the carriage, Cen Ziman followed Xia Jin into the carriage and asked her, "How is it?" Are these two girls of the Gong family okay? ”

"It's good or not, our opinion doesn't matter. Brother Luo applauded when he thought it was good. Xia Jin said.

She thinks this Gong girl is good, but what Luo Qian thinks is unknown.

Cen Ziman also asked, compared to Luo Qian's relatives. The upcoming married life is more involved in her energy. She sighed: "Alas, I won't be out of the house for a while, and my mother is teaching me to be a housekeeper." If you hadn't asked me out today, she wouldn't have let me come out. ”

Xia Jin patted her on the shoulder: "Study hard, my mother can wait for you to enter the door to help her housekeeping." ”

Cen Ziman was embarrassed to be said, took a sip of her with a red face, and said, "Speaking of which." You're the one who needs to learn how to be a housekeeper the most. Now my cousin is sick. There is no hostess in Wu'an Houfu. You're in charge as soon as you walk through the door. If you don't study hard, you'll have to be in a hurry. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Jin was also very depressed.

All she played with in her last life was a heartbeat. The pace of life in this life is different from before. But managing a family's trivialities, needles and threads, is it really not in tune with her style? But recently, Shu Shi has been whispering in her ear all day long, wanting her to learn this skill.

"Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this fate." She lamented.

broke up with Cen Ziman. As soon as she returned home, she wanted to scold herself for crow's mouth. No, it's just the gate. The mother-in-law guarding the door conveyed Mrs. Shao's "will": "County Lord, the old lady asked you to go to the main courtyard as soon as you come back, and the third lady is also there." ”

"Did you say anything?"

For this young lady with great ability, the old woman who guards the door naturally stammers with her heart. I have already inquired about the news, so I can sell it in front of Xia Jin.

When she asked at this time, she smiled and said, "It's a good thing." The old lady said that the county lord would soon be out of the cabinet. I want you to learn housekeeping. ”

Xia Jin couldn't help but want to stroke his forehead.

When I went to the main courtyard, I saw that there were no other people in the house, except for Mrs. Shao and Shu's. The eldest aunt Guo and the second aunt Yang were also present.

"Sister Jin is back? Come and see the list of dowries that your grandmother has chosen for you. Some of them are up to you. As soon as Mrs. Shao saw her enter the door, she smiled and beckoned.

Xia Jin saw that he was not a housekeeper, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, he leaned over to look at the list in Mrs. Shao's hand.

Although she has never managed a house, she also knows the importance of having a group of capable people under her command. Wu'an Houfu is indeed as Cen Ziman said, she has to be housekeeper as soon as she enters the door. Then these dowries are her right-hand men, and any of her orders must be carried out by them. Then it is very important whether these people's temperament and loyalty are compatible with her temperament.

After reading the list of people listed above, she couldn't help but nodded.

Calamus has a family of three and Mint has a family of four, and their names are listed at the top. Mint's parents and younger brother are less capable, but they have nothing to say about loyalty. And Lu Liang and Aunt Lu have always been Xia Jin's extremely powerful arms, and they have helped Xia Jin with things over the years, and their ability has become stronger and stronger. After the past, Lu Liang can be a steward and follow Su Qin's side; And Aunt Lu can be an inner court steward.

In addition to these two, the names of the two families of Hexiang and Juxiang are also on it.

Old Madam Shao explained: "You didn't bring many people from Linjiang, and we didn't bring any people when we came back from the north. Most of the people in the house bought it after returning to Beijing. I think the two families of Hexiang and Juxiang are pretty good. And when the family stays together, they can do things with peace of mind, so that they don't think about it or cause trouble outside. The most important thing is that when they have relatives in the house, they have more scruples when they are tempted by outsiders, and they are not prone to accidents. ”

"Grandmother is very thoughtful, and there are thirteen of these four families combined, so I think it's about the same." Xia Jin said.

"Not enough." Old Madam Shao said categorically, "I heard the situation in Wu'an Houfu, I heard Old Madam Xuanping Hou talk about it. Before Mrs. Wu'an Hou came back, half of the house was locked, there were not many people, and there was not a single maid. The housekeeper named Su Qin in the mansion not only took care of the affairs in the mansion, but also had to help Wu'an Hou Zhang Luo outside the field shop. When Mrs. Wu Anhou came back, she brought some people, but there were not many, and there were only about a dozen men and women. She came back to seek revenge, so naturally she didn't bother to take care of these, and she didn't buy people. In this way, there are only about 20 people in total, plus the thirteen on the list in your hand, there are less than 40 people, which is too little. ”

"That's enough, grandmother. There are only three masters in Houfu, how many people can be used? Xia Jin thought of having to manage the eating, drinking, and Lazar of forty people, weddings and funerals, conflicts and disputes, birth, old age, sickness and death, and felt that his head was as big as an ox. If there were a dozen or twenty more, she would simply not be able to live.

"Not enough, not enough. I'll count it to you, just the gatekeepers, the main gate, the second gate, two shifts, at least eight. And that's not even counting the back door and side door. Sixteen ...... if you count them."

"Oh my God, let me die." Xia Jin was weak and authentic.

Shu Shi "bah" twice, slapped her with a "snap", bluffed his face and said: "What do you say about dead or alive, there is no taboo!" ”

"Mother, am I still your daughter? It's so ruthless. Xia Jin rubbed the back of his sore hand, wrinkled his nose and complained.

Shu Shi glared: "Who told you to talk nonsense?" ”

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Xia Jin had no choice but to admit his mistake, and turned to Mrs. Shao, "Grandmother, where are we talking about?" ”

"You girl!" Old Madam Shao pointed at her and smiled, then folded her hands and counted them again.

"Grandmother, according to what you say, it's not enough for me to bring the people in the house." Xia Jin bargained with a bitter face, "If it's not enough, I'll buy it when the time comes, I really don't need to bring so much." Otherwise, others will say that I don't care about my mother's house and empty the house. Two more, two more! ”

"No, at least ten." The loving old lady Shao is not easy to talk this time.

The grandfather and grandson tugged back and forth, and finally decided to add five more people. This time, Xia Jin didn't want a family, but picked two maids and three boys.

The reason why she is like this is because these people have family members in Shaofu, although it is not so simple and easy to be involved with Shaofu, but it has an advantage, that is, they can come back to visit relatives through them and grasp the movements of Shaofu in time. After all, Xia Jin still has her parents and brother living here, and she can also know some gossip through the movement between people. Facts have proved that this trick played a great role in dealing with Mrs. Xia at the beginning.

"These people, the mother-in-law and maids will be placed in your courtyard today, and you will take care of them. At dinner the day after tomorrow, you will report to me about the situation. Old Madam Shao said.

"......," Xia Jin made a sad expression.

This turned out to be a pit. I made a fuss for a long time just now, and it turned out that I was not picking a dowry, but entering the housekeeper mode.

She had to know the character of these people, and then use them in the most appropriate place; and then use means to make them obedient, only she obeys, pointing where to fight. And that's just the beginning. After taking care of these people, her grandmother insisted that she follow Guo and start to manage the entire Shao Mansion, understand the situation of each position, and master every life process.

Just thinking about it made her feel like fainting. (To be continued)
