Chapter 164: Private Arrangement
Nangong Xiao went out for his eldest brother's troubles, and he didn't know who to visit, Dong Liang sat and rested for a while, and the stewards who had been waiting outside for a long time had a slight commotion, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the newly appointed housekeeper's wife.
Dongli doesn't care about them at all, one by one is used to pampering herself, she takes herself too seriously, she just wants to let these people know that no matter how decent and rich they are, they can't change their status as slaves, everything is given by the master, if the heart is big and wants to do something, the master can beat them from heaven to hell at any time with a word.
Shui Mo came over with a cool lotus seed and lily porridge, and went to see his wife in the morning, and the young couple had not yet eaten.
Dong Liang stirred it with a spoon, and he didn't have much appetite: "Ask the kitchen to make some noodles for the prince, and when the master comes back, he will get out of the pot, alas, he went out without even eating this morning, for the sake of people being so busy, the people have not yet appreciated it." "It's thankless, that's what it's like.
Ink is very angry: "Madam, Aunt Cui's side is too much, the uncle didn't tell Hou Ye what happened, but saved the face of their mother and son, but you and Shi Ziye are so busy with smiling faces and have to be laughed at by others, maybe you have to run to Hou Ye to reverse the black and white complaint, you two too, what do they like, what do they do?" ”
"Nonsense" Dong Li pulled down his face: "You are becoming more and more ignorant, is this kind of thing you can say?" If people know about it, they can directly use this thing as a raft to kill and take care of their mouths, this is the Hou Mansion, not the Mo family with loose rules."
Shui Mo flattened his mouth and lowered his head: "The slave also feels unworthy for you." ”
"Of course I understand that you are complaining about me, but remember that you can't say this in the future, you know?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Dong Li pushed the porridge aside and sighed: "What about Danzhu? Tell her in, I have something to say to you two. ”
Shui Mo immediately went out and called Danzhu, and Dong Li looked at the two personal maids, both relieved and reluctant: "I've been thinking a lot about it these days, you two should leave the Hou Mansion and help me take care of my business." ”
The two maids froze suddenly, and after a while, Danzhu knelt down anxiously: "Did the slave do something wrong?" Madam, the slave and maid must be corrected, please don't drive the slave and maid away."
Shui Mo was also a little stupid, and it wasn't until he saw Danzhu's actions that he reacted: "Madam, the slave and maid don't dare to be presumptuous anymore, don't drive the slave and the maid away"
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. Dong Li sighed, sent the two intimate maids out, she herself was a little reluctant, this place has a caring is not easy: "You have also seen, although I am not here step by step, but it is not easy, the last time my wife was going to start from my personal maids, now she can't move me, she is bound to start from the people around me, you two are the first to be the most powerful around me, you will definitely not be able to escape." ”
The two maids were a little confused, and Danzhu hesitated: "Hasn't Mrs. changed her attitude now?" In the future, Mrs. will naturally not be the same as before, not to mention that you can't get along with our two little maids......"
"You don't understand." Dong Liang shook his head, expecting Huang to change his attitude because he was scared once, it was impossible: "The country is easy to change, but her nature is difficult to change, she may not be as targeted everywhere as before for some reasons, but she will not change her mind just like this." ”
Danzhu still wanted to say something, but Shui Mo had fully understood, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Yes, the slave listens to the lady, and the lady will do whatever the slave and the maid say." ”
Danzhu seemed to be a little unwilling, but the ink had already expressed her attitude, and she didn't have to say anything if she was unwilling, so she had to kowtow as well.
"You know, I have a lot of dowry shops, and I mean to send you to take care of them." Dong Liang called them up and began to think about the business in his hands: "Most of these shops are run by their own shopkeepers, and they are all old people prepared by their mothers, and they are all reliable. Do you remember the annatto pollen and shampoo we researched when we were at home? ”
"Remember" Ink Wash spent a lot of thought on it, and immediately counted it with his fingers: "...... I got several kinds of them, and the slaves and maids tried them themselves, and the effect was much better than the expensive ones sold in the shops outside. ”
Dong Li nodded: "There are a few shops because the boundaries are not very good, and most of the businesses are those that rely on the prosperous areas, and they have been declining more and more in recent years, I plan to take a break from these shops, change the original pattern to do these women's business, and sell the things we make ourselves, what do you think?" ”
Women's money is the most profitable, these things are very good, as long as the situation is opened, there will be no business in the future, and the location of those stores is not very prosperous, and it is convenient for women to go in and out.
Ink eyes sparkled: "At the beginning, there may be no business, but as long as this period of time passes, after someone uses this thing and understands its effect, they will definitely come back again, and then spread it ten or ten to hundred, we don't want to make money."
Danzhu was silent on the side, Dong Li glanced at her slightly, and looked at the ink again: "Well, what you said is right, the only deficiency of our stores is the boundary, even if it is remodeled, few people will notice, so we need to do something to attract the attention of others, and the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."
She already had an idea in her heart, but she still planned to see if the two maids had any talent in this area, so she deliberately didn't say her plans and let them figure out their own way, and sent Danzhu out: "Tell those stewards to wait in the flower hall, and I'll go over in a while and ask the maids to serve tea." ”
Danzhu went out with a depressed expression, and Dong Li frowned slightly: "What's wrong with her?" Do you know? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Shui Mo sighed: "Sister Danzhu is older, so she will naturally have more thoughts, besides, she is still your dowry maid Madame, according to the rules, the dowry maid is generally the aunt's maid, and the prince is such an outstanding character, Sister Danzhu may have something in her heart that she shouldn't have, but don't worry, as long as she leaves this Hou Mansion, it won't take long to change her mentality, she has never been out of the house, and there are too few people she has seen." ”
Alas, Dongli has a headache, people say that the maid who doesn't want to climb the bed is not a good maid, according to this custom, Dan Zhuke is really a perfect good maid, waved his hand: "Okay, I know, let's go, let's go and see those stewards, will you pay attention to their words and deeds?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
"Well, the slave has been paying attention to it." Shui Mo nodded again and again: "Few of those guys are honest, so there are all kinds of things that are whispering in kung fu for a while, according to the slave maid, they may bully you young, and deliberately want to join forces to bully you."
People, you can't do anything for the sake of profit. Those guys have been fed by profits all these years, and they will definitely try to fool themselves to make profits, but they are not blind and deaf, so let them be so fooled.
When they arrived in the flower hall, the big and small stewards were already seated, discussing something in a low voice, and as soon as they heard that the maid had reported that the lady was coming, they immediately got up and saluted respectfully.
"Let's all sit down" Dong Liang took the hand of the ink and entered the door, and sat down on the first place: "Don't be so particular, tell you to sit, then sit down." ”
All the stewards thanked them and sat down, and the account books that had been prepared a long time ago were immediately taken out and sent over: "This is the account book of various income and expenditure of the house, please take a look at it." ”
Dong Liang glanced at the thick account book, opened a book at random, clean and tidy handwriting, and the accounts were vivid, she smiled and put them aside: "These are not in a hurry, I am in charge of family affairs for the first time, and I don't understand many things, don't say anything else, I don't know a few of you in charge, so let's do what you do, what are your names, introduce yourself, let's get acquainted with each other first." ”
The stewards quickly gave a look, and immediately began to introduce themselves from the first one, what kitchen procurement, flowers and trees in the house, fourth-level clothes, front room, etc., not to mention, although there are only a few masters of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, there are really a lot of people, and the stewards alone sit in a small flower hall.
Dong Liang sat on his upper hand and listened silently, but his eyes paid attention to the interaction between the stewards, and smiled slightly, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and where there are people, there are right and wrong, but some stewards are also divided into several camps in gangs, think about it, not to mention the people of Zhenbei Hou and the henchmen of the old lady, the Huang family, the Cui family, and even the Zhao family, which one of them does not have a few of their own people in it.
Fingers lightly tapped on the table, thoughtful in his heart, these people want to move, but they can't move immediately, intertwined, these people have already hollowed out the bottom part, a bad chassis is unstable, and the top may not be stable.
"I'll get here today, and all the stewards are all busy, and they don't have much time to spare." Dong Liang took the tea, and his eyes didn't look at the people with different expressions: "The account book is placed here, and I will naturally read it when I am free, now that my wife is sick, everything in the house is busy, you have to pick up your own burden, don't make trouble at this time." ”
The stewards hurriedly agreed, and then went out under the guidance of the maid.
Dong Li looked at the pile of thick ledgers, and sneered, I don't know how many of these things are true, all of them are taken out to fool people Who has the kung fu to look at them: "Ink, wait a while to send these things to our shopkeepers, ask someone to check, I want to see how much ability the stewards in our house have, and whether the account books are done seamlessly." ”
If they really have that ability, they can be regarded as talents, but I am afraid that some people will rely on the face of their masters and not take others seriously, and they will not cover up at all in the account books, and they will be very arrogant.
But all such people are powerful masters, and when the time comes, if they offend the people behind them, if they ignore it, other people will naturally become more and more emboldened when they see this scene, and then a huge Hou Mansion will be even more difficult to manage.
