Chapter 437: Steward
After returning from the Zhong family, Shen Hongjun handed over the affairs in the courtyard to Yun Xue to take care of. In addition, it also made the trading shops near the state city all hand over their accounts to Yun Xue. For Yun Xue, this is an opportunity to exercise herself, and what she will face in the future is the Shen family, so she must work hard to learn to be a housewife.
"Aunt Fu, look here, isn't there something wrong, I feel like the price is a little higher." Yun Xue held the account book and asked a mother-in-law next to her. This person is the wife of Steward Fu, who came to teach Yunxue how to read the account book. Yun Xue called her Aunt Fu and respected her very much, Aunt Fu taught Yun Xue very seriously.
Aunt Fu took the account book and looked at it, then smiled, "The girl is really smart, there is indeed a cat here." In fact, these purchases in the house will increase the price in privately. Buying is an errand with a lot of oil and water, and under normal circumstances, it is not good to really let them not fish at all. ”
"However, this is indeed a bit excessive, and even the girl can see it when she looks at the account book for the first time, and she knows that they have made a lot of money." Aunt Fu sneered twice, "Our family has already cleaned up the courtyard before. However, at that time, the main focus was on those who came in from the outside. As for these, a few of them came from the capital, and they all followed the general in the Shen family's Zhuangzi. It seems that these people are also a little restless, and they all stretch their hands so long. Girl, what do you think is going to do with this? ”
Aunt Fu asked like this, and she also wanted to take the test for Yunxue. After all, Yunxue has been in contact with these short days, so she has to take her time, no matter what, she needs to explore slowly, and she can't be in a hurry. Aunt Fu had already heard that Yun Xue had a hot temper, so she wanted to know what Yun Xue would do.
Yun Xue smiled, "People say that when the water is clear, there are no fish." If they really don't let them benefit at all, then no one will really do it. But this is too obvious, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid that you will all learn from it in the future. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of silver to buy everywhere in the courtyard. These people's hands are also stretched a little too long. Yun Xue thought for a while, and then said, "Aunt Fu, tomorrow call all the stewards from all over the courtyard, I'll see them all, and then I will talk." ”
Aunt Fu also laughed, "This is simple, since the girl has relieved the affairs of the other courtyard, she should have met these people." "It's okay, the girl didn't get angry at all. That's right, if you just jumped up all of a sudden, such a person who can't hold his breath is really not suitable to be a housewife. Aunt Fu felt that the big guy was afraid that he had seen the wrong girl.
"Aunt Fu, I'll take a look at this account, can you tell me about these stewards in the house first? Their temperaments one by one, who are in the family, tell me these things. Yun Xue felt that she should still know herself and her opponent, and if she figured these things out, it would be easier to deal with things in the future.
Aunt Fu was naturally familiar with the people in the other courtyard, so she talked to Yun Xue.
On the second day, Yun Xue met with those stewards in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Luoxia Pavilion. Several mothers-in-law stood there, looking at each other, and some of them secretly looked at Yun Xue who was sitting in front of them. For the girl who lives in the courtyard, they really don't take it seriously. Don't look at it as being spoiled by the general, after all, she is just a peasant girl, and she can't be on the stage, so it's not certain whether she can enter the Shen family seriously in the future.
Yun Xue didn't speak, but just took the tea in her hand and drank it slowly, taking a sip and tasting it carefully. When the tea was drunk, the women standing below no longer had the impetuousness they had when they first came in, but stood there quietly one by one, very respectful.
"The general said that from now on, I will be in charge of the affairs of the other courtyard. I didn't mean anything else when I called you over today, but I just came to meet and recognize people. Okay, let's talk about them one by one, what are your surnames, and where do you care? Yun Xue put down the tea bowl and looked up at the people standing below. There was no expression on her face, she was neither happy nor angry, and it was very plain.
The following mothers-in-law suddenly have the same feeling as when facing a general. Unexpectedly, the Han girl in front of her had the same momentum as the general. This kind of cognition made them suddenly feel a sense of fear in their hearts. So, several mothers-in-law stepped forward one by one and told them all about themselves.
After listening to this, Yun Xue didn't say anything, just nodded and said lightly, "Okay, let's go back." Now that it's the lunar month, seeing that the New Year is coming, there are many things everywhere, and I hope you all cheer up and do your own errands well. The errand is done, I have a reward here, if it is not done well, now there are people outside who want to come in, our house, but there is no one to worry about. Guys, do you understand? ”
"Yes, yes, what the girl said is that the slaves and maids will do their best to do their errands, and there will be no mistakes." Several mothers-in-law hurriedly said.
"Well, it's good to know, let's go down first." Yun Xue didn't say anything else, and let these people go. After they left, Yun Xue said, "Aunt Fu, now that the Chinese New Year is coming, all kinds of affairs are complicated. I look at it, the errands of these people in the house should be exchanged with each other, what do you think? ”
"Girl, that's a good idea. When an errand is changed, it always has to be handed over, and with this handover, something will be revealed. If it's a change of errand, and then people who don't like each other on weekdays, I'm afraid they can directly poke things out. Aunt Fu looked at Yun Xue with a smile, thinking that Yun Xue was okay to do this. The girl's trick is not bad, without the girl's hands, these people can show themselves by themselves. "It's okay, it's a trainable one, Aunt Fu is very happy.
"Thank you Aunt Fu for your advice, I didn't think of this trick just now. Then that's it, just follow what Aunt Fu said, just tell things tomorrow, and then watch them bite each other. "Yun Xue smiled, there is really a lot of knowledge in these things." If you figure it out, you will be punished if you should be punished, and you don't have to worry too much about the small problems that come and go. After all, no one is perfect, and you can't be too strict. Now that we're cleaned up, let's prepare for the New Year. ”
"Aunt Fu, sit down, you grew up watching Zhiyuan, even his elders, and they are also my elders. I still have a few things I don't understand here, you can help me take a look. Yun Xue asked Rulan to move a chair for Aunt Fu and let her sit down.
After Aunt Fu thanked her, she sat down, and then told Yun Xue what she couldn't understand.
"Girl, someone from outside said that someone from the capital came from there, it seems to be someone from the Guogong Mansion. The general is not in the mansion, so the girl will let them in. "Suddenly, a little girl came in to report.
"Someone from the Jingcheng Mansion? How many came? Who are they? Yun Xue looked up and asked a little strangely.
"The person who came said that it was the Duchess of the country, and the people around the old lady. This time, I came to send New Year's things to the general. The little girl spoke clearly and told the matter.
"Did you send someone to find the general?" These people, Yun Xue doesn't want to see, she is not right now, and she doesn't want to go to trouble.
"Someone has already gone to the general."
"Aunt Fu, you help me go and take a look, and sit with them. Wait for the general to come back, now I can't come forward, so I'll bother my aunt. Yun Xue turned her head to look at Aunt Fu.
"Okay, I'll take a look, maybe they're all old acquaintances. I happened to inquire about it, what are they doing here, what are they like in the capital now, we are far away after all, and a lot of information is not well-informed. Aunt Fu got up immediately and followed the little girl away.
Yun Xue continued to look at the ledger, but she was not affected by anything. Now she is not a member of the Shen family, so she doesn't have to care about these at all, and she doesn't need to have any friendship with these people. If they want to inquire about their own affairs, then they should put up the shelf so that people don't look down on them.
Aunt Fu came to the front yard and met people from the capital in a room specially used to entertain guests. Aunt Fu was originally the housekeeper in the Guogong Mansion, although she later went to Zhuangzi, but the old people in the mansion still knew her. As soon as they met, they saw Mama Gui, who was very useful next to Madame, and Mama Liang, a steward on the old lady's side. "Yo, it turns out that the two sisters are here? Oops, we haven't seen each other in a few years, have we? Aunt Fu smiled and entered the house.
The little girl brought tea and snacks, and Aunt Fu hurriedly asked them to use a little, and then everyone sat together and chatted. "It's really unfortunate that the general is not here, and he has already asked people to look for it. The two sisters came this time, is there something going on? ”
"It's nothing, Madame asked the old woman to come and send some winter clothes to the third young master. Also, isn't it almost the New Year? This year, the third young master was afraid that he would not be able to return to the capital for the New Year, so he sent some things for the New Year. This side is in a remote area, I am afraid that all kinds of food are not complete, and the third young master is stationed at the border, I am afraid that he has also suffered a lot. Mrs. felt sorry for the third young master, so she specially sent a lot of good things to make up for the young master. "That Mama Gui is used in front of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she looks down on people very much. When he speaks, he always brings out a little contempt.
Aunt Fu saw it all in her eyes, and said secretly in her heart, "Wait, wait until the young master returns after the battle, sooner or later there will be a day to clean up you." "Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't show it on my face, and I still smiled." Or does the lady feel sorry for her son, isn't this place simple? None of the food can catch up with the capital. In addition, the third young master was seriously injured a while ago, but now he has lost a lot of weight. It's still the lady who thinks about it thoroughly. ”
