Chapter 91: Liwei (4)
Shen Yuechen walked up to the old lady with a trembling heart, slowly knelt down and kowtowed: "The concubine is incompetent, she can't manage people, let the old lady worry about you." ”
Although such a thing happened at home, the old lady was not really angry in her heart, at most she just felt upset and had a straight face.
She looked at Shen Yuechen's docile eyebrows, and said lightly: "This time, it's not your fault." They are all old people in the house, their brains are carefully thought, their stomachs are twisted and turned, and there are also people who bully you when you are young and careless. You're young, and your heart is soft, so you have to cheer up in the future, and don't let those bad things bully you anymore. ”
Shen Yuechen replied in a soft voice: "Thank you for mentioning it, the concubine remembers." ”
The old lady then picked up the tea bowl and gently stirred the tea leaves, "Mama Li is not here, and there is no one in charge of your courtyard, what should I do in the future?" ”
Shen Yuechen thought for a moment and said: "The concubine is bold, I want to ask the old lady and the lady to give the concubine a chance to let the concubine take care of the affairs of the west courtyard herself." ”
The old lady raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You are in charge alone?" Can you do it? ”
Shen Yuechen said with a serious expression: "The concubine must do her best, spend more time on it, and take care of the family affairs well." If there is anything I don't understand, I will never make up my own mind, and I will come to ask the old lady and lady in person, and ask the elders to come up with ideas. ”
Hearing this, the old lady thought for a moment, looked up at Li and Chai, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Li Shi was a little uneasy, looked at Shen Yuechen and said: "You are a half-old child, with a thin face and a soft heart, and you are not tough enough, how can you control the old and young in that courtyard." If the food is not good, it will be even more troublesome......"
Shen Yuechen looked up at Li's eyes and said softly: "Madam, the concubine knows that she still has a lot of shortcomings, but there must always be a first time in everything, and I ask Madame to give the concubine a chance to experience and experience." ”
Seeing her sincerity, Li Shi wanted to agree, but he was afraid that she would not be angry.
Chai didn't care, so he just ate tea with a smile and said: "Since this child is so sincere, and he wants to share the worries of the family wholeheartedly, I think the old lady and sister-in-law will follow her." Moreover, she is the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and sooner or later she is the one who wants to be the master of the house, learn early, and come out early, and in the future, her sister-in-law will not be able to secretly idle a few years earlier. ”
Li Shi thought about it, but decided to let the old lady have an idea, so he asked: "I think it's good for her to go through the experience." What do you see, old lady? ”
The old lady had long wanted to find an opportunity to try Shen Yuechen's ability, thinking that she could write and calculate, and yesterday she caught the sore feet of Mama Li and Zhu An in time, and she was as careful as a hair, improvised, and not confused.
Mama Li and Zhu An suffered on their own, just in time, they gave her a chance, so they simply let her give it a try and see the heat.
The old lady sighed slightly: "It's okay, you practice your hands first, so that you can know where you are lacking and where you are lacking." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she was overjoyed and was about to kowtow to thank her, but she heard the old lady continue: "However, for the sake of insurance, I will only give you a month first." In this month, if you manage it well, you will still be in charge in the future, and if you don't manage it well, it is not too late to ask someone else to take care of the aftermath when the time comes. ”
One month...... Shen Yuechen suddenly felt that the pressure was doubled, but it was also the decency that the old lady gave her.
Shen Yuechen immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "The concubine body understands, the concubine body thanks the old lady and the eldest lady, and the second lady's trust." ”
As soon as her words fell, someone outside hurriedly came in and replied, "Back to the old lady, Mama Li, she didn't stop...... It's out of gas, and the second manager still has a breath left. ”
When the old lady heard this, she sighed lightly: "It should be buried, it should be buried." ”
The man took the command and withdrew again.
Shen Yuechen's curled fingers trembled slightly, Mama Li is really dead, but this matter is probably not really over yet. The ledger is still in her hand, and Zhu An is so greedy that she hasn't spit out the money yet, so someone has to come forward to finish it.
Sure enough, the old lady then waved her hand and motioned for Shen Yuechen to get up, "Bring the account book." ”
Shen Yuechen offered it with both hands, who knows, the old lady still didn't look at it, directly grabbed the account book, gently fell on Zhu Rong's face, and said in a deep voice: "It was you who led him in, and you will make up for the trouble he gets, and you will make up for the difference. ”
Zhu Rong hugged the account book tightly, fell to the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Yes, yes, the slaves and maids have all remembered." ”
As long as the old lady is not angry with him, he is willing to take as much silver as he wants, and he can earn it again when the silver is gone, as long as he can stay in the Zhu family, there will be opportunities to make money in the future.
Shen Yuechen returned to the west courtyard all the way from the upper room, his palms were full of cold sweat. Another life was gone under her nose, although she had been prepared, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still chuckled in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether she was uncomfortable or afraid. However, at this time, she didn't care about worrying about others, and she was still a dead person.
The old lady only gave her a month, and the time was in a hurry, and there were so many things that she could not be distracted.
Shen Yuechen took a long breath and instructed Chun Ming: "Wait a while, you call all the people in our courtyard to gather in the courtyard, no one is missing, I have something to explain." ”
"Yes." Chun Ming agreed and hurriedly went.
Xu Yes, everyone is still worried about last night's events, and they are all quick with their hands and feet.
It was just a cup of tea, and the maids and maids in the west courtyard and the nurses gathered neatly in the courtyard, waiting for the grandmother to give instructions.
Shen Yuechen stood under the cool and ventilated eaves, and the people stood with their heads down and stood under the hot poisonous sun. Although the sun is poisonous, no one dares to complain.
Shen Yuechen deliberately let them stand for a while before she spoke, "Mama Li just disappeared this morning. From now on, everything in this courtyard, big or small, will be taken care of by me alone. I'm young, but I have my own rules. Now, since I am the housekeeper, you have to follow my rules and habits to do errands, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job, and you will be punished for your mistakes, and you will be punished for doing it yourself. ”
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, pricking up their ears, and listening seriously.
"Because of what happened before, there are not many people in the courtyard now, and everyone has to be more careful and careful than before. If there is an errand that is too busy to be busy, just tell me plainly that I will immediately dispatch people to take care of it, and it will not really make everyone tired; However, if someone is deliberately lazy and plays tricks in front of me, then don't blame me, who is the master, who is not close to people, and will deal with it strictly. ”
Although Shen Yuechen spoke calmly, every word was still very harsh when everyone listened to it.
After explaining his position and attitude, Shen Yuechen eased his tone a little, and continued: "Right now, there are two major events in our yard, one is to prepare the luggage and baggage required for the uncle to go to Beijing, and the sedan car entourage. The second is to establish new rules, I don't care how you used to be on errands, from now on, you must follow my rules. From tomorrow onwards, you will be divided into two groups, and you will take turns keeping vigil every day, and you will do whatever you need to do, and you will not procrastinate. On weekdays, without my instructions, no one is allowed to enter or leave the main room at will, let alone touch anything in the house, not even a piece of paper. ”
Everyone should say yes in unison.
Shen Yuechen immediately stretched out her hand to look at Mother Wu and said, "Mother Wu, you come." ”
Wu Mafu blessed her body and hurriedly greeted her.
Shen Yuechen took her hand and looked at everyone: "Mother Wu is the most powerful old man around me, and she also knows my habits the most. From now on, she will be the mother in charge of this hospital, and you should be respectful to her. Including, the maids and servants of the aunts in each room are the same, and they are not allowed to be neither big nor small in front of her. ”
In the past, Mama Wu was just an assistant in the kitchen, except for cooking and making soup, she didn't have any real power in her hands, but now, Mama Li is not here, she naturally wants to become the most decent person in this yard.
Shen Yuechen said everything that needed to be said, and he was only going to say it once. After last night's scene, at the moment, no one dares to despise her in the slightest, and even in front of her, they can't be careful and careful.
After being so busy for half an hour, Shen Yuechen finally had to go back to the house and sit down to drink tea and rest.
Chun Ming looked at the servants outside who didn't even dare to breathe, and was in a good mood, and said with a smile on her face: "Miss, after such a toss, no one will dare to underestimate you in the future." ”
Shen Yuechen leaned back, closed his eyes and said, "How can it be so easy?" Because of Mama Li as an example in front, they will still have palpitations and will naturally be obedient. In the future, it's hard to say. ”
They are all big living people with hands, feet, and mouths, and they can't be controlled by scaring mere fears.
As a master, it is not enough to have a temper, the key is to have the ability, otherwise, don't expect the people below to be loyal to you. Moreover, a month is too short, and I really don't have time to beat and scold every day.
Shen Yuechen pondered silently for a while, only feeling that it was not strict, nor was it loose, only the combination of grace and power, and clear rewards and punishments were the best way.
Chun Ming saw the tiredness on her face, and said softly: "Miss is tired, do you want to lie down and rest." ”
Shen Yuechen was secretly distracted, and after a while, she smiled slightly and replied to her words: "Well, it's okay, I'm a little tired, and I want to be crooked for a while." ”
Chun Ming nodded hurriedly in response, "The slave maid went to make a basin of water for the young lady to wipe her face." As soon as her words fell, she saw Wu's mother slowly coming in, still holding a basin of warm water in her hand.
Chun Ming was slightly stunned, only put the basin down, and said with a smile: "It's still my mother who is careful." ”
Mother Wu looked at Shen Yuechen with a gentle face, and said lightly: "Miss, the old body wants to come over to discuss the kitchen with you." ”
