Before Shen Yuechen officially started to manage his family, a life occurred in the west courtyard.

The subordinates talked about this a lot, only dared to slander, did not dare to speak clearly, occasionally gathered in one place to whisper a few words, and scattered without waiting for the master to notice. Fortunately, the old lady personally made the decision for her, and sent someone to clean up the matter in three or two clicks.

Mingyue's family has long been empty, so she casually found a poor relative who couldn't beat eight poles, and gratitiously received ten taels of silver and pulled Mingyue's body away. Mingxin was a little insane because he was frightened, and he also followed the human tooth madly. At this point, the matter is settled.

Although it was clean, after this incident, Mama Li also lost face in front of the old lady and the ladies.

The old lady deliberately called her to her, did not raise her eyes, kept a solemn face, and said: "You used to be a shrewd and capable person, but now, I don't know if it is because of your age, you are confused." The next person is the next person, how can you go to the master to chew the root of the tongue? Don't chew your tongue, you still dare to look for death and life, it's really unlucky! Don't make such a fuss in the future, it doesn't make people laugh, and it also makes your young grandmothers feel embarrassed. She's only been in the door for a few days...... Mama Li, you have done most of your life in the Zhu family, don't come, and you have lost all the old faces you have saved for decades. ”

Mama Li glanced at the old lady's face, how could she not hear the meaning of her words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Because he has been taking medicine to replenish his body, Shen Yuechen's small days this month, after coming, are not as painful as before, and he can barely pretend to be okay and go over to say goodbye to the elders. It's just that I don't dare to stay longer, and after sitting down for a while, I have to go back and lie down and rest immediately.

Wu's mother secretly found all the hand stoves that would only be used in winter, put in the burned charcoal, and put it next to her to warm her lower abdomen.

It was past the dog days, but it was still hot outside.

Chun Ming just went out to send the account book to Steward Zhu, and she sweated profusely, but when she came back, she saw Shen Yuechen covered with a thin quilt and holding a hand stove, and said a little worriedly: "Miss is covering it like this, will she be sick?" ”

Mother Wu shook her head, brought a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea, carefully sent it to the bedside, and handed it to Shen Yuechen's hand.

Shen Yuechen's physique is cold and cold, he doesn't like to sweat, even if it is dog days, his body is very refreshing.

At this time, she wiped off the rouge gouache she had applied in the morning, her face looked a little pale, and the tip of her nose was slightly sweaty. ”

Chun Ming nodded, "The slave maid sent it over, and the second steward said that when he finished the account, he would send the account book back." ”

Shen Yuechen took a sip of ginger tea and said, "You asked the little maid in the courtyard to pay attention to the point, and when you saw Zhu An arrive, you hurried over to report it." ”

Chun Ming was puzzled: "Yes, Miss, do you still want to see the second in charge?" ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head slightly: "Where would I want to see him, I'm afraid that he will come and see me when the time comes." ”

In this courtyard, no matter who comes, she has to prepare in advance, so as not to be seen with her sick appearance.

A bowl of hot ginger tea went down, and Shen Yuechen's forehead also sweated, and Mother Wu hurriedly asked, "Does Miss sit for a while, or lie down and sleep for a while?" ”

Shen Yuechen said: "I'd better lie down, although I can't sleep, it's good to nourish my spirit." ”

"There are three big girls in the yard all of a sudden, and no one has done a lot of work, but it's not good to catch up with me, so it's going to make you work hard." Shen Yuechen looked at Mother Wu with some reluctance and didn't say.

Mother Wu stretched out her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and said in a strange tone: "Miss is too polite to say this." Don't worry, there are mothers-in-law and maids outside, but they do all the work that makes a little effort, so how hard can we go? ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "With my mother here, I don't have anything to worry about." ”

Whether it is in the Shen family or the Zhu family, as long as Mother Wu is by her side, she will feel very down-to-earth in her heart. After more than ten years of getting along day and night, never abandoning, there is no doubt that in this life, Wu's mother is the closest person to her.

Mother Wu and Chun Ming took advantage of her nap to go back to the kitchen for lunch, and Mrs. Li prepared meals for them early. There is fish and meat in the dish, and they are all deliberately selected as the best.

Mother Wu looked at the greasy bowl, suddenly lost her appetite, and saw that there were two greedy little maids on the side, only staring at her bowl and swallowing saliva, so she beckoned: "Come, you two take this bowl of rice and eat it separately." ”

When the two little maids heard this, they immediately stepped forward to hold the bowl, and directly grabbed the meat with their hands and sent it to their mouths.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li was a little anxious: "You two little hooves, are you reincarnated as a starving ghost?" Tsk, look at your gobbling up appearance, you are destined to be unlucky. After speaking, she approached Wu's mother again and said, "Mom, don't be too used to these mouthless people, when you turn around, you should go to the kitchen to steal something to eat." ”

When Wu's mother heard this, she just laughed: "The child has a long body, and his mouth is greedy." It's okay, I'll just make a bowl of somen noodles by myself in a while. ”

Although she is very good at cooking, she still likes to be vegetarian, firstly because she is used to it, and secondly, because she wants to fast and accumulate some merit for Miss.

Shen Yuechen's body has not been good since she was a child, and Wu's mother has also worried a lot, it has become a habit to pray to God and worship Buddha, not to ask for everything, but to have a spiritual support.

Mrs. Li listened, accompanied by a smiling face, and said secretly: These good dishes are blind in vain. I knew that I would have eaten two more bites by myself.

After Wu's mother took over the kitchen, Mrs. Li and the people below had a lot less oil and water in their hands, and even the procurement mother-in-law outside complained about them, and often talked behind their backs, this new young grandmother is an iron rooster, and she likes to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, so why bother to have everyone accompany her to suffer, the Zhu family has a big business, and there are mountains of gold and silver, and it is not that they can't afford it.

In the past, when the Qin family was still there, there were chickens, ducks and fish leftovers from the meal, and during the New Year's holidays, even the abalone and cucumber wings could be seen. Can ...... now Look at the bowl of noodles that Wu's mother cooked for herself, there are only a few cabbage sums, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of sesame oil, which are very light.

Mrs. Li watched from the side and shook her head slightly.

If you are blessed, you will not enjoy it, but it is better not to be blessed.

In the afternoon, Zhu An came over on time to deliver the account book, an old one and a new one. The new ledger is to write down the fixed items one by one according to Shen Yuechen's previous proposal, and only write down the expenses below each time.

Shen Yuechen saw that he was serious and did not perfunctory himself, he was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Steward Zhu is really thoughtful, and this new account is very good." ”

Zhu An suffered a loss in front of her before, remembered this lesson in his heart, and said with a very respectful attitude: "The slave didn't dare to ask for credit, it was all with the wisdom of the eldest grandmother, and he came up with this good method, which also saved the slave's effort." ”

Shen Yuechen put down the account book and said with a smile: "You take this new account back, I only keep this old account that has not been copied." ”

Zhu An originally thought that if she made the new account and satisfied her, she would not continue to think about copying the account book.

"Grandma, the slave thinks, since you look at this new account, you are quite satisfied...... There is no need to recopy the old book. ”

Shen Yuechen suddenly had a pain in her abdomen, only clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and pretended to be unharmed: "Steward Zhu, don't worry about it, I left the account book not because I can't trust you, but because I want to take the opportunity to understand the expenses of the family." I am young, thanks to the trust of the old lady, and now I am a beginner, please hope that Manager Zhu will mention more. ”

If you don't look at the ledger, how can you manage the house? can't control money, and can't control people, she, a young grandmother, is really a virtual decoration.

Zhu An bowed and replied, "The eldest young grandmother has promoted the minion." ”

Shen Yuechen was so painful that she couldn't sit still, and was about to tell Chun Ming to send off the guests, but who knows, Zhu An said again: "In the courtyard of the young grandmother, it is time to add a few people to come in." ”

There is a rare vacancy in the courtyard on the west side, and it is a pity not to take the opportunity to stuff someone in.

The inner courtyard is different from the outer house, they can't go in and out at will, if you want to find out the news, you have to buy those maids first, it's better to use your own people directly, save money and effort, and save effort.

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly: "Steward Zhu has a heart, I have already sent Mama Li to pay attention everywhere." If Manager Zhu has a suitable candidate in his hands, just tell her that the old man is, and I'll take a closer look when I go back. ”

Because Mama Li was scolded by the old lady, she was very concerned about the selection of maids, and even went to the major dental shops in Texas City in person at the expense of hard work.

Usually, the important people of the Zhu family are selected by the major tooth shops and sent in the best, so that the wife and wife of the Zhu family can see it in person. Now, seeing Mama Li come to the door in person, I can't help but have some surprises and surprises, treating her as a guest, on the surface, she is entertained with good tea and vegetables, and secretly gives red envelopes to each other, just begging her to nod happily and reward them with a few more good deals in the future.

Mama Li chose to choose and choose, and it took three whole days to select a few that were slightly more eye-catching.

She usually has three no-choices, no choice for no relatives and no reason, no choice for those who come from the wrong path, and then no choice for those who are ugly and vulgar.

People who have no relatives and no reason have no worries and no scruples, and they are prone to catastrophe. And those who were robbed and abducted, the origin is unknown, sooner or later it will be a scourge, even if it is a deed of sale, you don't know if you use a fake name. Also, those who look mean and speak vulgarly can make people block just by looking at them, let alone serving their masters.

It's not the first time that the people of Yaxing have done things for the Zhu family, and they don't dare to send it in front of Mama Li's eyes. Mama Li wrote down the names of the people she fancied, and then sent them into the house together when she turned around, so that Shen Yuechen could look at each other.
