Chapter 254: The Old Man Says

Wen Yi helped Mrs. Lu into the main house and asked with a smile, "What does grandmother think of here?" Is your granddaughter tidy? ”

Old Madam Lu glanced around, her expression was a little happy: "It's okay, it's just a little too plain, you young couple, and you are newly married, why not use more brightly colored objects?" ”

Wen Yi looked at the shallow red curtain in the house, the jujube red table circumference, the colorful mandarin duck playing lotus picture hanging in the middle of the hall, and the various fresh folding flowers in the house, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: "Isn't this bright enough?" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at her: "You are used to the furnishings in our house, so you think this is good enough, but you don't know that our house is different from other houses, whether it is a house or an object, it is a simple choice." You only compare the houses of the sisters in the long house to see how pure the house is. ”

Wen Yi had nothing to say. Grandmother is also reasonable, because the sixth room is a widow in charge, the furniture, tents and curtains and other things used are plain and clean, not to mention that Wen Yi had a period of experience as a monk in her previous life, tidying up the house, since it is mainly pure and solemn, and the Liu family house originally had only one owner, Liu Dongxing, and the things were cleaned up by Mama Shu, one of these two people is a man who does not like to be fancy, and the other is a middle-aged woman who likes to be conservative. People who take care of the family's room, not to mention Wen Hui, who has lived in the capital for many years, even Wen Xian and Wen Juan, who have been staying in their hometown, have been very delicately cleaned up in the boudoir.

Wen Yi lowered her head a little frustratedly, helped Mrs. Lu to sit down on the right seat, and obediently stood aside to listen to the training.

Mrs. Lu was a little amused: "You don't have to be like this, grandmother is not blaming you for anything, you have always liked to clean up the house, and it is already rare to remember to add a few more festive curtains to embellishment." It's just that you are newly married, and your son-in-law has gone on an expedition to such a dangerous place, so in order to avoid secrecy, you still add a few more auspicious objects to your own house, so as to get a fortune. ”

Wen Yi responded obediently. Hexiang brought the tea, and she quickly took it and served it to her grandmother. Old Madam Lu took it, took a shallow sip, and said with a smile: "This is Lao Junmei?" It's rare. Wen Yiyuan didn't know that Hexiang had soaked this, so he hurriedly said: "This is what Xianggong got from a friend, and he has been putting it away, and he hasn't eaten much, who knows that they will soak it to honor his grandmother?" He glanced back at Hexiang.

He Xiang replied with a respectful smile: "It's almost dinner time now, and everyone will feel hungry." The slave maid thought that the young lady usually ate green tea at home, and the old lady ate it for fear of hurting her spleen and stomach, so it was better to eat this, so she took it upon herself and changed the tea. ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and said, "You girl is clever, this tea is good." And he said no more.

Hexiang bowed and simply retreated.

Mama Zhao helped Shi Nan out of the warm pavilion and said with a smile: "Grandma has cleaned up this house so refreshingly, I feel comfortable when I see it, but unfortunately it is a tent with ink in the bedroom. Wen Yi blushed and said angrily: "Grandma, don't say it, grandmother has already taught me a lesson." When I turned around, I asked for a red tent to be made. ”

Mama Zhao smiled and sat on the small pestle sent by Qiuguo, looked at the girls around her, and said, "I just took a cursory look, and the people in this family seem to be quite honest." Does my aunt think it's easy to arouse? A few of our family have been married, nothing is wrong, right? Qiuguo is an old man, he can be trusted, and Hexiang's girl is also smart, that is, the first moon and Chunshi, I don't know what the temperament is. If it's not good, my aunt and grandmother just ask. The old lady can go back and ask their family to come over, so as not to be naughty. ”

Wen Yi smiled: "They are all very good, and they are honest. Mama don't have to worry. ”

Mrs. Lu said to Mama Zhao, "Didn't we bring some purses with silver bills?" Originally, it was to reward the people below, so you can go for me and bring the otter and autumn fruit for you. Say a few more good words, so that the people of the Liu family can remember the good of the nine girls. ”

Mama Zhao was busy and took Qiuguo and Otter out to separate the luggage. Old Madam Lu sent Shi Nan to guard outside the door again, and then took Wen Yi's hand: "I have something to ask you." ”

Wen Yi knew that her grandmother must be going to teach face-to-face, so she hurriedly whispered, "Grandmother, please speak." ”

"It's been ten days since you came through the door, and you've started to take over the affairs of the house, how are you doing? Tell your grandmother about it. ”

Yi responded and told me everything he had done in the past few days, from the slaves, the property, to the alteration of the interior furnishings of the house, and the small works such as the addition of new drainage ditches in the inner and outer courtyards.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu thought about it and sighed, "It's okay." Now that summer is about to begin, this year it will not be dry again, you should be prepared in time, and you will save the yard from flooding after the rainy season. Nothing else, although it looks like the movement is a little bigger, but it is all urgently needed. As for the family's property, you are not bad at it. "It's just your arrangement for the servants in the house...... What do you think? Since the family surnamed Ma has a problem, why do they have to put his father and son in a critical position? ”

Wen Yi said busily: "Whether it's with the car or the outer study, it looks like an important location, but it's actually not a big deal." Xianggong was not at home, and the granddaughter asked Shu Ping again in advance, confirming that there were no confidential documents in the outer study, just some ordinary classics, and a few military books, all of which were very ordinary. and all correspondence with men, all that is of great importance, came to the inner court. That Ma Dabao was illiterate, and he was honest, so he sent him there, and he looked decent from the outside, but in fact, it was not a big problem. It was his father who took the opportunity to go into the outer study to rummage, but he couldn't find anything. As for the messenger with the car—" she smiled, "now there is only one granddaughter left in the family, and if the granddaughter wants to go out, where else can she go?" It's nothing more than those places, he just went with him, what is there to worry about? Besides, he is a family member given by his second uncle and aunt, even if he knows that he has a problem and doesn't catch evidence for a day, it is not easy to deal with him. It is better to let him be the messenger of the car, and as soon as there is any movement, the granddaughter will pretend to go out and ask him to do something, and as long as he is not there, the charge of dereliction of duty will come down. When the time comes, if you drive him away, the second uncle and aunt will have nothing to say. ”

Old Madam Lu slowed down: "I see, I also said that you are really confused, knowing that he has a problem, I also put him in a critical position." But his wife is working as an errand in the kitchen? The kitchen is important, this is the entrance thing, if there is a case, but it will cost people's lives. ”

Wen Yi nodded: "The granddaughter also thinks so, so she divided the labor between the two people in the kitchen, the Ma family is responsible for cooking the meals of the rest of the family, the food in the inner courtyard, and the three meals of the Shu family, which are covered by Feng Xi alone, and Chunshi gives her a hand." Although this Fengxi is more impulsive, and sometimes makes some small mistakes, he is never ambiguous about right and wrong. ”

Mrs. Lu sighed: "It seems that you have a number in your heart, and grandmother won't mention anything about you, just to remind you, you are the new daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, and most of the people in this family are newcomers, as long as you work hard and the means are sufficient, it will not be a problem to subdue them, just don't do it too publicly, so as not to make people panic." ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Grandmother is worried a lot, and granddaughter has also thought of this, so at the beginning, I only slightly transferred a few positions, and there are obvious reasons, and the rest, it will take a few days, and then slowly figure it out." Xianggong was originally impatient to manage the affairs of the family, so in the past, it was in the hands of Mama Shu, although she was decent, she was not the master in the end, so there were many things that were inconvenient. Now that her granddaughter is here, she naturally can't watch the situation go on any longer. She lowered her head, a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, "When Xianggong comes back, I want him to see a neat and orderly home." ”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Lu was also a little happy in her heart: "It is naturally a good thing that your husband and wife are harmonious, and Dongxing is willing to hand over the important responsibilities of the family to you, and I can trust you." After thinking about it, he hesitated, "But grandmother still has to remind you a little more." Although Dongxing can trust you, the people in this family have nothing to worry about, but ...... This Shu family is the henchman of Dongxing, and Mama Shu is also his nursing mother. Dongxing's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up alone in the second room of the Liu family, so he must have suffered a lot. When you are in charge of the house, everyone else will pay it back, but you need to beware that this Shu family and you are not of the same mind, then it will be greatly restrained. They are the oldest in the family, and if they disobey you, or if they disobey you, it will be difficult for you to hold power in this family, but if you suppress them, and beware of them when you return from the eastward journey, they will sue you. Dongxing and their family originally had a deep friendship, even if you took care of your decency, it is inevitable that there will be a thorn in your heart, and after a long time, it will be a disaster after all, you must ......not prevent it."

Wen Yi was stunned, then fell silent, thinking back to what the Shu family had done in the past few days, and slowly shook his head and said: "Uncle Shu is a person who understands, no matter what I say, he is very happy to do it, if I have any negligence, he will also mention me." I think...... He's not that kind of person. Shuping ...... The temperament is also steady.,Look at it and don't look like a treacherous person.。 Want...... They won't be so ......"

Old Madam Lu caught her hesitation: "What about Mama Shu?" How many daughters does this Shu family have? ”

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mama Shu is sometimes a little verbose, and she will feel that what I do is not old enough, but I don't have any bad intentions." He has two daughters, both of whom work as rough maids in the outer courtyard, and a younger son who has no errands. Grandmother, the daughter of the Shu family, is not outstanding in appearance, and she doesn't look like she has that thought. ”

Old Madam Lu seemed to be relieved, and nodded: "It's okay, I'm afraid that his daughter will be born with a good appearance, and her heart will be big." Not only the Shu family, but also other families, if there are old servants who have accumulated years and daughters who are born well, you have to be wary of one or two. In the future, even if the eastbound really wants to take over the house, you will have to choose from your dowry. Chuyue is prepared for this, she is the son of our second room, and when I go back, I will ask your second aunt for her family to come over. This girl is good-looking, but she is stupid and stupid, and she can't make any climate. ”

Wen Yi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she also understood that her grandmother was thinking about herself, so she lowered her head and whispered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu sighed: "Nine girls, don't be annoyed. It's just in case. If Eastbound had been self-conscious, he would not have brought it up. When the first month is a few years old, you can marry her decently, and you can be regarded as worthy of her. It's just that this candidate can't be missing, but you can't choose from the two of Qiuguo and Hexiang. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "My granddaughter won't." Qiuguo is not such a person, and Hexiang doesn't have that kind of mind when he looks at it. ”

Old Madam Lu shook her head: "Qiuguo is an honest person, but Na Hexiang is too clever, you can use her, but you have to be careful, don't trust her too much before you find out her sincerity." If it weren't for the fact that Dong Niang made such a mistake and she checked for you, Grandmother wouldn't have to worry about this. ”

Wen Yi stared at the handkerchief in his hand and didn't speak. Dong Que was originally her personal big girl, after Zi Ying left, the most trusted is Dong Kui, even if that happened, she was angry, and she never dispelled the idea of letting Dong Lyho marry, but her grandmother objected, and she remembered that Dong Kui's family was still in the Gu family, so she didn't say anything, but in her selfish heart, she also occasionally thought that if Dong Lai was there, her life in the Liu family would be easier.

Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea, and didn't dwell on this topic, so she restarted: "For the Shu family, grandmother thinks that you can reuse the small ones, and the old ones, but it's better not to give them great power." ”

Wen Yi was stunned, raised her head, and looked at her grandmother.

"Everyone else is okay, this Mama Shu, you have to pay more attention, if she has the same heart as you, it's okay, if she criticizes your words every time, it's better not to let her continue to manage the inner courtyard." As long as you continue to be important to the rest of the Shu family, you will come back from the east, and the Shu family will have nothing to say. ”

Wen Yi hesitated a little: "Mama Shu...... That's not the case, is it? And there's Shuber here. ”

"You take a closer look, if not, be a grandmother, if she really disagrees with you, it's better to prepare early." Old Madam Lu looked at the courtyard outside the door, and a mother-in-law was probing her brain at the second gate, "Don't forget, there are still a few restless people in this family, but they are not monolithic." Although you have already had a perfect plan to deal with these villains in the family, you have to beware of them jumping over the wall in a hurry to provoke and cause you to be separated from the Shu family. ”

Wen Yi also saw Ma Youcai's wife's actions, and her heart sank slightly: "My granddaughter understands." I'll be on my guard."

When Mrs. Lu heard her granddaughter say this, she was also relieved. She knew that although Wen Yi had always been soft, as long as she agreed to something, nothing would go wrong, so she smiled again: "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things." Ming'er is your birthday, and it's a good time, how to celebrate, have you thought about it? Grandmother thinks it's better to set up two tables of wine at home and invite your cousin and godmother over for a cup. ”。.。
