Five

At one time, Luo Xuchu and Aunt Liu came in, Mama Li asked the little girls to set the meal, Luo Qingrong asked her brother about her homework again, she had poetry and books in her belly, listened to Luo Xuchu's answer, and "asked" a few words, but she stopped her brother, and was anxious to go back to turn the book, but was stopped by Qi's family, and asked him to ask Mr. tomorrow and come back to teach his sister.

Several people sat around for dinner, and Luo Qingrong waited for Luo Xuchu to be accompanied back by his maid Nuanyun, and then told Mrs. Luo that he wanted to sort out the personnel in the house and dismiss a group of subordinates.

The granddaughter has been making frequent moves for a while, which is a bit too much for the Qi family, who has always been stable in his actions, and the older he gets, the more he doesn't want to change much, "Your father is back, in addition to your mother, there are also Aunt Jin and Su Juan, and now at this time to dismiss the people in the house,"

"Grandmother, our Luo family has been in the family for several generations, and the family alone has hundreds of children," as soon as the woman took over the Luo family, she was dumbfounded by hundreds of people from more than a dozen masters of the Luo family, and quickly said that Luo Yuanpeng began to clean up the idlers, because he was ruthless and fast, and he took a lot of mistakes from those old slaves, not to mention that among the people who were dismissed, there were some of the old lady Luo and the Gao family's subordinates who were married, and how many of those who were outside were really innocent? The difference is whether there is a master or not in my heart.

At that time, the effect was good, but after a long time, not only did the subordinates who stayed in the mansion change because of the habits formed for a long time, and they had a lot of work out of thin air, but what was even more infuriating was that those slaves who were beaten out of the house by mistake talked nonsense about the Luo family everywhere, saying that the new lady was mean and unkind, and Luo Yuanpeng only obeyed his wife's life, and ruined the reputation of the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

This time, Luo Qingrong wanted to walk in front, not for the Zhang family, but for the Wu'an Hou Mansion, "My granddaughter occasionally heard from the people below that some of the stewards in our house have their own shops outside, and everyone before and after them is called the master," she looked at Qi's face carefully, "Father returned to Beijing this time, I'm afraid he will have to take on a big responsibility, and I can't let those things that don't make it ruin the reputation of the Luo family~"

The reputation of the Luo family and Mrs. Luo, that is the most important, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was promoted to the second marquis a few years ago, but because the Luo family's heirs are thin, not to mention the son, even the daughter is not much, the eldest daughter-in-law remarried, the second daughter-in-law died early, Luo Yuanpeng has been stationed in Liaodong for many years, even if the holy family is strong and the relationship is close, the Marquis of Wu'an is also very low-key in the noble circle. There are naturally few people who are picky about finding trouble, but now Luo Yuanpeng has returned with merit, and he has come down before entering Beijing, and he has taken on the title of prince and young protector, and Liang Yuanshen, the eldest son of Gu Shufei, and Liang Yuanxin, the eldest son of the queen, and Liang Yuanxin, the sister-in-law of the queen, are both twelve years old, in addition to studying with a few princes in the upper study, the emperor will also arrange for them to listen to things in the court, the Qi family is a person who has lived through the three dynasties, and the sister has gone from the concubine to the queen mother, and the old lady Luo has not been less worried about this way, naturally more sensitive than others, at this time, The Luo family must not fall into the tongue and send the handle to the person.

"Your concerns are reasonable, it's just that it's not too late to discuss these things with your father when he comes back," Luo Qingrong was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she was reluctant to let her granddaughter have a reputation for being too strict in keeping the house.

"Grandmother," Luo Qingrong looked embarrassed, and said for a long time, "Luo Yong, who sent us a letter back that time, I once asked the rich mother to reward him for entanglement, and I heard the rich mother come back and say that my father listened to the new lady's words very much, and even Aunt Jin stood aside, and was almost sent back to her parents' house~"

"There is such a thing," Old Madam Luo straightened up, "This woman is so powerful?" "Aunt Jin Lingyun is different from Aunt Liu, she is the younger sister of Luo Yuanpeng's general, and she gave him as a concubine when she was in Liaodong, and now Aunt Jin's brother Jin Yuanzhong has become the deputy chief soldier of Datong, and he is also a figure that cannot be underestimated, and Aunt Jin because of her charming appearance, she has a romantic attitude that everyone does not have, and she is even favored by Luo Yuanpeng, and she has always been in office, and when she followed him back to Beijing to report on his work, she didn't even pay attention to the main room of the Gao family, but now a Zhang family can force Jin Lingyun to have no way out?" This is what Rayong said? ”

"Yes," the rich mother has always been a staunch supporter of Luo Qingrong, and stepped forward and said, "Back to the old lady's words," she glanced at Luo Qingrong, obviously some things were not good to say in front of her daughter's house, "The slave listens to the meaning of Da Yongzi, and the Hou Ye is obedient to the new lady, and she can even go in and out of the outer study at will, and she also helps the Hou Ye come up with ideas~"

"It turns out that we also married a female military division," Qi Shi smiled coldly, the woman's family is most taboo to meddle in the affairs of men outside, and this Zhang family is too bold, "So you want to arrange everything before she comes back?" ”

"It's not that my granddaughter doesn't believe in her mother, it's just that there are many differences between a small place in Jinzhou and our capital, and I'm afraid that my mother will have something wrong when she first arrives, and it will hurt the face of the Luo family." Luo Qingrong said cautiously, "I heard that my mother is very strict in governing the family in Jinzhou, and there are only two girls and a grandmother around to serve~"

A Mrs. Hou only has two girls? Old Madam Luo looked directly at the rich mother, "This is all what Luo Yong told people?" ”

"Don't blame the old lady, the slave maid also wants to know some of the lady's temper in advance, so that our girl also has a preparation, these words are really heard by the slave maid, and the slave and maid were also startled at that time, these two girls, just the water can't be busy, but Da Yongzi said, it's true, the new lady said that she is not the kind of canary who doesn't go out of the door, and she doesn't like too many people around her, so she sent away the girl and mother-in-law that Hou Ye prepared for her."

"I've wronged my sister Rong," Mrs. Luo has already believed the words of her rich mother, that Zhang is a fisherman's daughter, I am afraid that the girls of the Luo family are more noble than her, and Luo Qingrong should have also listened to these words, so she moved her mind to prepare in advance, and wanted to make everything perfect, "Listen to you, it's just that the dignity of our Hou Mansion is still taking care of it, but this matter is my idea, and the shopkeepers who follow me, let Mama Li also sort out a list, in the end, she is also a slave of the Luo family," By the way, it is also a good thing for Mrs. Luo to clean up those people, she knows her physical condition very well, and she will sort out the dowry clearly, so that she can hand it over to her granddaughter smoothly in the future.

As soon as Luo Yuanpeng and Zhang's come back, the wind direction in this house is about to change, listening to the words of the rich mother, Zhang's is also a strong person who loves to be in power, this time back, there will be a move to completely receive the power of the house into his own hands, or take this opportunity to clean up those restless people around him, and save himself from dragging his own hind legs in the future, Qi and Luo Qingrong coincide.

"Second girl, when the little one cleaned up the population, he and Mother Lin secretly inquired about the family background of the steward in our house, obediently, it's really amazing, they have all caught up with a seven-grade county," Steward Xiao is not tall, he is also thin, and his eyes are shrewd and sophisticated, "If you hadn't asked people to check, the house really didn't know that the slave was eating and drinking spicy outside, and he was like an uncle." ”

It's really a change in the direction of the wind, and he has not been reused before, but now he can stand in Zhengjitang, "As long as you send a sentence, the little one will immediately lead someone to copy those people." ”

"It's hard to take care of things," Luo Qingrong flipped through the list in his hand, the woman caught this at the beginning, and exposed all the stewards in the greedy Mo Mansion in broad daylight, so that Mrs. Luo, who had been holding on to her body to take care of the house, was extremely faceless, and she couldn't afford to be sick at that time.

"There is no need to copy and inspect, what kind of family are we, it is not good to spread outside, it is inevitable that the family will be a little restless, you will release the news, just say that it is the meaning of the old lady, the end of this year is the Thousand Autumn Festival, let out some people in our house to pray for the queen mother," Luo Qingrong looked sad, and scratched a shallow nail mark on several names, "These troublesome stewards have inquired about their family background." ”

"Yes," Steward Xiao was overjoyed, although Luo Yuanpeng was the real master of this Hou Ye, he couldn't stand the border for many years, and his own milk brother had never been reused, and he was not less angry with those face-saving stewards on weekdays, even if it was the head of the grange, few of them put themselves in their eyes, this is good, it is really a turn of mountains and rivers, and this time it can be committed in their own hands.

"You still have to discuss these things with Steward Luo, my father is coming back, make any bad news, and lose the face of the entire Luo Mansion," Luo Qingrong didn't intend to really knock these stewards into the dust, she remembered the lessons of the previous life clearly, these servants were also intertwined in private, for a little silver, hurt the reputation of the Luo family, once these people left the blessing of the Hou Mansion, the good life would be over, "You don't have to worry about the people who came with your grandmother at the beginning." Luo Qingrong's eyes were like ice, "Remember?" ”

"There are a few small ones," Xiao Shan's heart trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes, there were too many things in this little girl's eyes, as if her little caution was suddenly spread out into the sun, "You just let the little one and Mother Lin see how the old guys of our Luo family are doing." ”

"I remember your daughter is twelve this year?" Luo Qingrong knew that Steward Xiao would not discuss with Luo Ping, but his attitude made her more satisfied, so she casually changed the topic.

"Yes, my big girl is not twelve, she is idle at home all day long, and she doesn't have an errand," Xiao Shan said with a sad face, "The little one is in the kitchen, and there are several mouths in the house, and I want to ask my master to find something to do for my girl who is not a good person." "I'm afraid that when Luo Yuanpeng comes back, this outer house will be his Xiao Shan's world, and Xiao Shan's request is justified.

Xiao Shan's bitter appearance Luo Qingrong will not believe it at all, his father Luo Yuanpeng is not a person who has nothing to do, to be exact, he has been away for many years, and he has not regarded Wu'an Houfu as his home at all, so he has placed some properties outside, these mother Gao has also told himself, and Xiao Shan, he helped him take care of these industries, what kind of person Xiao Shan is Luo Qingrong knows better than his father, Xiao Shan is now thinking about suppressing those stewards, in fact, his life is no worse than any steward, His daughter Xiao Yuling is even more raised like a young lady, and there are two little girls waiting at home, "Father and mother are coming back soon, and there is naturally a need for people in the main courtyard, so let Miss Xiao go to her mother's yard to be a second-class girl," In the previous life, the Zhang family asked Xiao Yuling to make her a dowry girl, and later, she became Liang Yuanke's couch person.

"Second Miss Xie," Xiao Shan was overjoyed, his daughter had no qualifications, and she became a second-class girl as soon as she entered the mansion, and she also had to serve Mrs. Hou, this is a big face, and she will have a good future in the future, "The little one will let her come in tomorrow and learn the rules from Cheng's mother~" Duo Ma is one of Gao's former dowries, and the little girl in Wu'an Hou's Mansion has to be trained by her hands before she can be assigned to each hospital.

"Yuling is the daughter of you and Aunt Fan, and it won't be bad in terms of rules if you want to come, just let her come directly, where can you still use the rules?" Luo Qingrong smiled and picked up the celadon tea bowl on the table.
