First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 296
"Although your body is just right, you shouldn't work too hard, but you can't slack off these things because of this." Mrs. Song said slowly, "After all, you will also be the housekeeper in the future."

As soon as Mrs. Song spoke, the hearts of all the people present were moved.

Speaking of this, Du Rongzhi is about to take up the post with Song Zixun, so naturally he has to take care of the housework and take care of the inner house; speaking of it far away... I don't know what the old lady means, it doesn't mean that Du Rongzhi will be the Duke of the State in the future My mistress, is she going to be in charge of the middle class of this mansion?
All of a sudden, everyone had their own thoughts, and their expressions became brighter.Some are happy from the bottom of their hearts, like the third wife, some are envious and jealous, like the second lady, and some take it for granted, like Shen Shuyan... Only the eldest lady, Shen Shi, is sitting upright from beginning to end, with a beautiful and dignified face. There was no surprise, no joy or anger.

Du Rongzhi had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, stood up and said respectfully, "Yes... Grandma, please tell me."

Mrs. Song nodded in satisfaction, and thought, "Looking at the twelfth lunar month next month, you have to deal with annual events, worship ancestors, and arrange gifts with various prefectures...there are many and complicated things. If you usually have free time, I will give you Mother fights with aunts and see how they behave." She said, and then said to Shen and the others, "She is young, and she has never done this before, so you should take care of her."

"Naturally..." Mrs. Chen smiled lightly, "Even if the mother doesn't tell her, the daughter-in-law will give it all."

The second and third wives responded quickly.

Old Mrs. Song nodded slightly, took Du Rongzhi's hand and said kindly, "Learn hard from your mother and the others, and ask more about what you don't understand...you'll be able to get started soon."

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law must follow my grandmother's teachings and learn from my mother and aunts." Du Rongzhi paused, then pursed her lips in embarrassment and said, "I hope my mother and two aunts don't think I'm stupid ..."

The second wife covered her lips with a veil and smiled, "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are too modest. If you were stupid, wouldn't we be even more blind... Mom, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Song arranged things properly, and felt a little more relieved. Hearing this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Everyone of you is good... As long as we work together in the future, why worry about our family not being prosperous?" The atmosphere has dissipated a lot.

Seeing the situation, everyone had to say a lot of things to express their opinions, and they didn't get up to leave until they saw Mrs. Song showing a little tired look.

Mrs. Song nodded, "You all go back and rest, and you will take up your post tomorrow..." Then she said to Shen, "The eldest daughter-in-law will stay here for a while, and then we will discuss the following matters."

The work is divided, and the accounts must be settled clearly.

Shen smiled calmly, "Yes, mother."

... After everyone else had retreated, Mrs. Song said calmly, "Is there any clue?"

Shen Shi pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Mother, there were many people who had access to Guan'er's things yesterday... Please ask Mother to give my daughter-in-law a few more days..."

Mrs. Song smiled, but that smile was a bit cold, "There are indeed a lot of people I can get in touch with—except for our own servants in our mansion, even the ladies and wives who came to the banquet yesterday also have the opportunity...you Don't you want to tell me this?"

Shen quickly lowered her head and said, "Daughter-in-law dare not..."

Mrs. Song picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes and took the bowl cover and flipped the floating leaves on it, "If the person in charge is careless and acts like a follower, the people below will naturally be heartless... You have been in charge for so many years, these Do you want me to teach you?"

Shen's complexion was already very ugly, "Mother..."

"I heard that the old man next to you is in charge of the arrangement this time?" Mrs. Song said slowly, taking a sip of her tea.

Shen's heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "Yes. But..."

"Since you don't want to take advantage of it, let's change it." Mrs. Song said in a calm and uncompromising tone.

........................

When everyone left the courtyard, Shen Shuyan chatted with Du Rongzhi because of her awkward status, and took the girl away with an excuse.

On the other hand, the second wife thought of what the old lady said just now, and she felt a little unbalanced. When she heard Du Rongzhi say that she was going to go for a walk in the garden, she deliberately said in a strange way, "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are really elegant... I can't compare with your third sister-in-law." Well, as long as you use your words, you will be favored by the old lady... Now we have to go back and recharge our batteries, so we can go to your mother's place to 'do something' tomorrow morning."

Du Rongzhi didn't bother with her, and said with a smile, "In that case, the niece and daughter-in-law should leave the second and third aunts first."

The third wife was dragged by the second wife, although she wanted to say a few more words to Du Rongzhi, she had no choice but to say, "Go... It's very windy outside, let's go back earlier and rest for a while."

"Yes." Du Rongzhi smiled slightly, "My niece and daughter-in-law are resigning." After saying that, he led the people away.

........................

"Young madam is too powerful!" In the garden, Qing He couldn't help admiringly said, "How do you know that the third young master's marriage fails, and the second madam will definitely blame madam?"

Du Rongzhi smiled disapprovingly, "Second aunt is self-willed and always thinks highly of herself. Although our wife was invited to talk about this marriage, in her heart she already considers it done."

"Now that our wife returns home in a feather, she won't reflect on the fact that her son is not good enough to be worthy of another girl. She will only think that our wife is unwilling to do her best, and she may even suspect that she is obstructing it and deliberately refusing to facilitate this marriage." Du Rongzhi raised her eyebrows mockingly, "Under such circumstances, what kind of face can Second Aunt give to his wife? Naturally, she will spare no effort to add insult to injury."

Qing He nodded approvingly, thought for a while, and asked curiously, "Then, in your opinion, can the second and third wives manage well?"

"Second Aunt is fine...the sewing room has its own set of rules and regulations. As for the relationship with the various prefectures, our wife can't make any big mistakes. On the contrary, it's Third Aunt," Du Rongzhi pondered for a moment, "The old lady gave her such an important place in the kitchen, probably because she wanted to reuse her."

It's ridiculous that the second lady thinks she has got such a good job, and she looks down on the third lady...

Du Rongzhi lowered her expression and said softly, "Second Aunt is strong and good-looking, so my grandmother asked her to deal with the wives of those aristocratic families. It seems to have a lot of beauty, but she has no real power... The hardworking and honest Third Aunt got fat this time Poor, and you don't have to worry about being jealous by the second aunt..." She sighed softly, "Sure enough, Jiang is still hot..."

If it were me, how could I be so thoughtful, seeing through everyone's mind and disposition.
