Nongmen lady Jiang Huhan

241 It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others
So Xia now regrets that she secretly stabbed Granny Gu to give Xin Cui some power, because that incident made Xin Cui very cold towards her.

And she tried to repair the relationship several times, but she was pushed back when Xin Wan was also there. Naturally, she could tell that Xin Wan didn't like her.

Seeing how Xin Cuihua didn't care about her money at all, she felt a little envious.

She married far away from her hometown, and it was unknown whether she would be able to go back to visit her parents in the future. She would have to spend this money carefully in the future, otherwise she was afraid that she would be very poor in the future.

Xin Cui didn't care what the Xia family's expressions were, she just said a casual word and followed the housekeeper to her yard.

The county government office is quite large. The two gates behind the residence and the front yard are guarded by officials. The family members of the county magistrate all live in the back house of the county government office. Generally, they enter and exit through the side door or the back door.

Because Xin Cui has already seen the world in Xin Wana, she doesn't have much freshness about the county government anymore.

Even if the county government is an official residence, it cannot be compared with Songfu. After all, the staffing of officials is more strict, so the back house of the county government only has a few large and small courtyards, a small garden and a small pond. , the total is not as big as the courtyard where Xinwan and Songbuya live.

Arriving at a quieter courtyard, Yuan Qing nodded with satisfaction. Wang Daquan directed his servants to put things into the designated place. He had already arrived at the house a few days in advance with the luggage and other things he had brought from the south trip. They were also cleaned and all rooms were decorated.

Nowadays, Xin Cui has a lot of people under her, so now she is really the master and no longer has to worry about it. In the future, she only needs to take care of the children.

"Miss, this yard is not bad." Yuan Qing was very satisfied after taking a look around. She felt relieved when her man was doing things.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yuan Qing. I'm lucky to have you protecting me all these years. Thank you so much to you and your wife." Xin Cui took Yuan Qing's hand and expressed her gratitude.

Xin Wan is very good to Yuan Bao, like a biological sister.

Xin Cui treats Yuan Qing the same way.

Yuan Qing was also very grateful that Xin Cui, the master, thought highly of her and gave her face, so he said: "Second Miss has broken the slave. This is all the slave's duty. Second Miss, don't worry, just live a stable life in the future.

We are the second wife, so we can just listen to the elder brother's orders in the future. We don't have to worry about the livelihood of the family, not to mention our family's wealth is also substantial. "

Xin Cui nodded, and then whispered: "I see that Xia and Liu Meng don't look too good?"

Yuan Qing said: "The eldest lady is now the county magistrate's wife, and she is in charge of the central government. After all, she is the first wife of the county magistrate Ming Yuan. Now that Tie Nan is an official, the county magistrate's wife naturally has to be in charge of the Tie family, otherwise she will not tell anyone about it." Make people laugh.

The old lady is unwilling to delegate power. Even if she speaks with dignity, she will no longer care about the family. If she doesn't care about the family, she will have no money and no confidence. Her servants will only look at people's faces.

After all, the Tie family is no longer a commoner, and everything must be done according to the rules. I heard that the eldest lady’s housekeeper is very strict, so it’s natural that Xia and Liu Meng will have a difficult time, and this is what the concubine should bear.”

Wang's lifelong wish was to be an old lady in an official family, but now that she has become an official, she understands what she has to sacrifice.

In the beginning, Mrs. Wang was still making a fuss and was scolded by Tie Dashan. Now it is no better than in the village. How could the two of them understand the situation? Their daughter-in-law is now also literate and can afford to be a family, so she asked Mrs. Wang not to give it to her. My son looks ugly.

Just let her stay in the back house honestly, enjoy the blessings of being a real official lady, and live her life well.

After Qiao Xiaohe took charge of the family, she became more and more powerful. She bought a few dead slaves around her to help her, which was considered loyal. She even kept Liu Meng and Xia from the back yard. Everything was in accordance with the rules. Behave in a good manner.Therefore, the two of them will follow the rules and serve Tienan at most three times a month. The rest of the time, Tienan will stay in his wife's room.

If Tie Nan didn't take the initiative to go to the concubine's yard at the back, the two of them wouldn't even be able to see Tie Nan for a month.

Qiao Xiaohe found two women to guard the two-story entrance to the backyard. He would never let the two of them easily into the area where they lived. He finally knew how to protect his own interests.

Qiao Xiaohe was also enlightened after hearing Xin Wan's words.

Xin Wan told her that it is better to rely on yourself than relying on anyone else!

Grasp the power in her hands, and then check and balance the people she dislikes. Only by taking it up herself can others be afraid of her.

Xin Cui was stunned after hearing Yuan Qing's words and said: "It seems that my little sister's words have had an effect. If my sister-in-law doesn't stand up on her own, she will be bullied by the Xia family in the future."

"Yes, so we don't have to get involved in the big house's affairs. Second lady, don't worry. The servants around the second master are smart and will definitely not let the second master make mistakes outside.

Now you have three sons who are great contributors to the Tie family. From now on, you can just live a comfortable life of your own. "

Xin Cui nodded.

Xin Cui returned home today, and Tie Nan specially prepared a family dinner. He had let his brother endure hardships for him in studying for the imperial examination for so many years, and now it was finally time for him to repay Tie Hu.

Xia was also allowed to participate, while Liu Meng and Mingrui, except for Xin Cui's family, came out to greet them when they returned, and then returned to their own yard at the end.

Now that they are roommates, they can just take care of their own living and things in the yard in the future. If Tienan doesn't go, they are not qualified to come to the front yard. There are rules for daily necessities and daily meals, and there are dedicated people. Sent it.

It had only been a month, and the two of them were complaining endlessly.

Ms. Xia now knows that she must please her good mother-in-law Ms. Wang, otherwise she will not have a good life in the future, so she is very attentive to Ms. Wang. She regularly goes to pay homage to Ms. Wang early and takes advantage of this rare opportunity to increase her sense of presence.

Privately, she even subsidized the Wang family with a lot of money, jewelry, clothing and other good things, so the Wang family regarded her fairly highly.

Xin Cui looked at the nanny next to Qiao Xiaohe. She looked like a powerful lady, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief for her sister-in-law.

Now she knows how to best protect herself.

In fact, when the Qiao family knew that Qiao Xiaohe became the wife of the county magistrate, they used their entire family efforts to prepare a lot of money for Qiao Xiaohe. Although they were not as good as the Xia family, they would not have to be controlled by others without money. .

Now that she was in control of the county magistrate's family, after arriving at the county government office, she asked the master to select a group of people. She chose a few for personal use, but she chose the right one, a nanny.

This nanny used to come from an official's residence. If the official committed a crime and ransacked the house, they would be sold.Qiao Xiaohe was lucky enough to find a helper who really understood some of the twists and turns in the officialdom.

So, it’s really: It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!
