Chang An bowed, but the words in his mouth were undoubted: "Aunt Ding, the master said to let the little one take the pair of cards and the inner account to the West Courtyard." Yes, yes, what Sister Mingyue said is, who doesn't know that Aunt Ding has worked hard? Even the old man boasted about it. But the master is waiting there, Aunt Ding, look at this ......"

Mingyue looked at Aunt Ding unwillingly, and Aunt Ding's face did not show the slightest displeasure, but the bones of the hand holding the right card turned white.

Ding Xufang, Ding Xufang, you have been for so many years, there is no right card, no housekeeper, and you have passed like this, and now you only have patience, only patience.

"Mingyue, bring it to Chang An for me, and the account books, you have to bring them all. Originally, I also helped the wives to take care of things, but now I can finally return the goods to their original owners. Aunt Ding smiled, as if relieved.

Chang An didn't dare to answer, he was the master's person, and he never got involved in the affairs of these wives and aunts in the backyard. But he also knew in his heart that although Aunt Ding's housekeeping ability was there, she couldn't convince the public, and during her housekeeping, it was the subordinates around the eldest lady who framed the second lady, and the second girl in Aunt Su's room had chickenpox and almost infected the whole house, and even Aunt Su made trouble with Mama Zhu sent by the Chi family.

There are so many things that make the master a little distrustful of her.

It's like being an official, you say that no matter how honest you are, it's useless if you can't do anything.

Xiao Fu, who got the right card, said the same, and she even said to Lishu: "Housekeeper, the first task is not to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but to make the home peaceful and quiet, so that your father can work outside with peace of mind." ”

In a family like the Liu family, Liu Chengxu is actually not short of money, he can exchange most of the silver money for any antiquities he takes out and sells. On the contrary, it is the peace of the family that is the most important thing.

When Lishu heard this, she suddenly opened her mouth.

Yes, Aunt Ding may want to use the housekeeper's ability to sow discord everywhere, even if she can't find her, but she is a housekeeper, this is a dereliction of duty. My mother really understands human nature, but if she hadn't been reborn and reminded her mother, I'm afraid that my mother would have been calculated.

"Mother, my daughter only hopes that you can always be safe and sound, so that her daughter can eat the soup you made every day. You have given birth to a child in the past few months, and your daughter is hungry for your pork ribs and lotus root soup, and she has been thinking about it for a long time. Lishu drooled just thinking about it.

Xiao Fu smiled: "Gluttonous cat." ”

On the day of the confinement, Xiao Fu bathed several times, changed into a snow-white middle coat again, dressed in red and a hundred butterflies wearing a golden gown full of flowers, and a red skirt of the same color and gold, and the whole person looked bright and majestic.

She sat upright, and the people in the lower row were listening here, Xiao Fu was holding the right cards, assigning tasks one by one, and it was actually in order. even bought two new little girls for Fu Shi and sent them over to serve her, and Aunt Su arranged for Liwan to live with Lijia.

There are disobedient people who beat a few boards and drive them out, and those who don't have to do things to do things, and everyone is in danger for a while.

But Xiao Fu is not blindly strict, compared to Aunt Ding's tangerine peel method successfully spent the New Year, Xiao Fu also has another open source method, she is good at painting, but also good at carving, especially after marrying Liu Chengxu, knowing that Liu Chengxu is a disciple of the calligrapher Deng Guang, so often let her husband teach her to write, when she is not favored, daily practice and even carving, but also very familiar with jade.

When she went to Lianxi Nunnery that time, she found that yellow wax stone was produced there, and the locals didn't know why, but Xiao Fu knew it very well.

Therefore, she deliberately went to the vicinity of Lianxi Nunnery on the grounds of visiting Chi Nuguan, dragged a lot of stones back, and she made a few seals at home, Liu Chengxu was overjoyed to see it.

"I didn't expect you to have such a talent, this yellow wax stone is a strange stone!"

Xiao Fu smiled: "Yes, I asked the villagers to help me transport it back, and as for the silver money sold, half of the money should be distributed to the villagers." Xianggong, if my guess is correct, your appointment is about to come down. This yellow wax stone is also very good for those elegant Beijing officials. ”

Liu Chengxu stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Qiu Jun is really smart, that's it." ”

He is a literati, but he is not a person who is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and he has even been a pro-people official for many years, and he is also very happy to see that Xiao Fu's family is not all wealth.

After the Liu family got an income, Xiao Fu began to improve the treatment of the maids, first of all, to increase the monthly money first.

When the Fu family was in charge, in order to be frugal, the maids' monthly money and charcoal clothes were reduced by half, and now the little Fu family has returned to the previous monthly routine and added ten more Wen, for a while, the whole house is very happy.

The subordinates have long forgotten Aunt Ding's good intentions.

So much so that Mingyue and Qingfeng were upset for Aunt Ding: "This villain, look at it, I used to slap you one by one, but now I have turned my butt and gone to please the second lady again." ”

Aunt Ding pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Lishu listened to Xiao Fu say to her again: "Look at this official being killed, the people don't care if you are a good official or a corrupt official, and most people still blindly applaud." The same is true for the distribution of money, the people below will not be loyal to you based on feelings, you have to give enough money before others will think you are good. ”

Li Shu thought so.

Zhu Mama has been watching coldly, she saw that Xiao Fu's family is in a good way, has a good way to make money, and has a close relationship with her husband, so she taught Lishu with her heart.

In this world, women love children more than men, because children are born in October when women are pregnant, and men love the house and Wu. This is not uncommon in the harem, only the mother of the third girl is in power, and she can get more by teaching this girl.

Otherwise, the mother is cowardly, and if she is not effective in the back house, she will also be hostile to the so-called grandmother, so it is better to run away quickly.

The pattern of the Liu family's back house has also changed, originally it has always been dominated by the Fu family, even if Aunt Ding took office, she was always looking forward to the Fu family, but now she is here with the little Fu family, she gave birth to a son-in-law, and Liu Chengxu is also here with her, as if she has become the first person in the back house.

The Fu family has the maid sent by the Xiao Fu family to serve, but it is not easy to say anything about the little Fu family, except that Yulan occasionally persuades: "Madam, this time you should also go to the letter family, and let the Fu family come forward to persuade the second lady not to compete with you for favor." A family of sisters, just intimate and affectionate, the second lady is like this, it's really not good. ”

She actually thought that Fu Shi was not young after all, if she could, she would be just right to lift herself......

Anyway, her Yulan is Fu's companion, and her appearance is not bad, if Fu is willing to come forward to open her face, she will definitely compete for her favor, so that the master and servant will pull the master to her side.

But where did the Fu family think of getting so much, at first Aunt Ding's housekeeper she faintly felt that her skills were inferior, but now here is Xiao Fu's, she feels more and more powerless.

There is also the dead Shu Zhao, Fu Shi remembered that a child of her age actually went like this, and he still couldn't slow down.

Xiao Fu soon knew about these changes, and she said to Danqing: "I have long known that Yulan is a person with a big heart, but her mind is very deep. I don't think I'll have to do it, and the people around her will kill her. ”

Danqing smiled: "Who said no, yes, Aunt Ding is the same as before, and she never makes trouble." As for Aunt Su, there was a lot of gossip behind her back. ”

"That's all she can live happily for." Xiao Fu seemed to have thought of something, a picture of Zhizhu in his hand.

The undercurrents of these adults are surging, and the children are also aware of them.

For example, Liwan was still friendly with her before, but now she is vaguely estranged a lot, she is more often in a group with Lijia, and it seems that Lirou is also vaguely on their side.

But these are no longer important, because she noticed that Mama Zhu was much more attentive to her than before, especially when she heard Xiao Fu explain to her and asked her to teach Lishu about things in the officialdom.

Zhu Mama taught her these things in private: "I heard that the second lady said that the appointment of the master will come down soon, and you will return to Beijing to take up your post, then I will teach you to go out and salute first, and how to salute when you see any official position, these are all very important." ”

"Okay."

"It's okay if you can't remember, I'll mention you on the side."

"Well, then I'm sorry for you, I just came from Beijing, and I'm going back to Beijing again."

I wish Mama will teach her to read the official robe and recognize people, and even see who does what etiquette, its etiquette is so cumbersome that even Lishu is a little unbearable, but she can only hold on.

Fortunately, three days later, the family set off to return to Beijing, Liu Chengxu hired a big boat, this time the second room of the Liu family brought a lot of Jiujiang native products to Beijing, Liu Chengxu is saying goodbye to the officials who came to see off, the ladies have all been on the ship, and the little Fu family lives in the best place in the whole cabin.

When she was in Jiujiang, Xiao Fu had always lived in the innermost courtyard, and now, she was in charge of her own house and arranged the best cabin for herself.

Lishu knew that Xiao Fu had to do this, and she was about to enter Beijing, the two ladies in the second room, who was older and who was smaller? If you retire now, you will definitely be treated as a concubine in the future.

Just like in the previous life, my mother was sick because her younger brother was gone, and she was in poor health, so she kept going back to Kyoto and was sick, and she couldn't afford to fight for anything. I especially remember that at that time, the eldest aunt invited someone to sing in the hall, and many of the relatives and friends who came and went thought that Xiao Fu was a concubine, and Lishu was very angry. Even, the eldest aunt's daughter, Lizhen, even said that her aunt never came out.

The subordinates are also very good at flattering Xiao Fu, and take the initiative to omit the "two" and call her Mrs.

Although Fu Shi fell into the sadness of missing her son, she was not stupid, she soon realized that something was wrong, everyone in the family seemed to start not mentioning her, as if she really thought that Xiao Fu was the mother of the family, she asked Yulan: "I don't understand, I have never treated her harshly, how can she treat me like this?" ”

To say that Fu Shi is not sad is not a hypocrisy, and when Xiao Fu heard the words from Danhong, he hooked his lips and smiled: "It's really interesting, after so many years, haven't I just lived such a life?" I'm not even treated as well as hers? Why is it only so long, she can't stand it, but I've been suffering for five years, what do I say? She pretends to be a kind person on weekdays, but it turns out that she can only be good, so she can be called benevolent. ”

After entering Beijing, it was a new challenge, and Xiao Fu took a deep breath. The sister-in-law and the Fu family are like sisters, and the mother-in-law has also returned to Beijing, so she has more helpers, and although she fights alone, she also has to shelter her daughter from the wind and rain.
