happy match

So, Ye Qinglan happily left Shunyi Hall.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zheng scolded her lightly, basically without pain or itching, obviously just pretending.

After being Sun's daughter-in-law for so many years, Mrs. Zheng is often angry with her mother-in-law.Just because of the word filial piety, as a daughter-in-law, she has no part to talk back at all, it's basically a word of tolerance.Ye Qinglan confronted Sun Shi face to face, and even couldn't speak Sun Shi's angry words, let alone how happy she was.

Ye Qinglan is really docile and obedient in front of Mrs. Zheng, never talking back.No matter what Mrs. Zheng said, she nodded obediently.

"...If grandma says anything else in the future, you are not allowed to talk back." Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, and added: "Even if she is making trouble for no reason, you have to think carefully, don't really get mad at her. "

...Ye Qinglan held back her laughter, and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Mrs. Zheng talked for a long time, seeing Ye Qinglan being obedient and obedient, she was very happy and satisfied.Although Ye Qinglan can speak well, she is submissive, respectful and very obedient to her mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng's tone became more relaxed: "You have been here for a few months, and you can help me with some household chores. From tomorrow on, you will follow me and learn to handle the daily affairs of the house. gone."

Ye Qinglan was startled, and hurriedly said modestly: "My daughter-in-law is ignorant and stupid by nature, I'm afraid she can't learn well!"

There was a smile in Mrs. Zheng's eyes: "Do you still need to say these polite words in front of me? If you are considered stupid by nature, there are not many smart people in the world."

Compliments from my mother-in-law.It made Ye Qinglan's heart feel warm.Knowing that Mrs. Zheng really wanted to teach her to learn to be a housewife, she no longer refused: "The daughter-in-law is respectful rather than obedient."

At this time, not everyone can be the mistress of an official mansion or a noble family.To take care of all the trivial matters in the mansion, to manage all the servants in the mansion, including marriage and other matters, as well as various human relations, etc., everything is well known.The level of cumbersomeness is probably comparable to being the general manager of a small and medium-sized company.

Of course, such a heavy burden cannot be taken over casually.Generally speaking, a newly married daughter-in-law will have to endure at least a few years before giving birth to a son and gaining a firm foothold in the mansion.Only then will they have the opportunity to contact the affairs of the government.First learn from the mother-in-law for a while, and when she gets started, the mother-in-law will mostly arrange some leisure or insignificant errands for the daughter-in-law to take care of, which is equivalent to an internship period.If you do well, you can officially help with housework.

When she was not out of the cabinet, Mrs. Xue also taught her to read the ledger and so on.However, Xue's main point was to torment her, and he didn't teach anything with his heart at all.Taking a step back, even if Mrs. Xue wanted to teach, she might not have the vision and ability.After all, Mrs. Xue has been married to Uncle Changyuan's mansion for so many years.I didn't manage the housework either.That is to say, in the few years in Zhengzhou, I have been a small family for a few years.Compared with the headed mistress of Mrs. Zheng's level.The bad is by no means a star.

Mrs. Zheng wanted to train her to be the director of the family, so she naturally couldn't be timid, so she simply agreed.

Mrs. Zheng was very satisfied with her performance, and gave a casual order: "Since that's the case, I'll get up earlier that day, and many mothers in charge of the mansion came to Jingxinyuan to receive the right cards at Maoshizheng. Since you want to learn, you have to let all the mothers in charge see it."

There are still some things Mrs. Zheng didn't say.Ye Qinglan is young after all.Not long after passing the door, there are so many servants in the mansion.I'm afraid Ye Qinglan can't even recognize it completely.Now that I want to learn to be a director, at least I need to get to know all the respectable managers first, and then slowly explore each person's temperament and work characteristics.With Mrs. Zheng in charge, there is no need to worry about the tricky or slippery mother in charge secretly making trouble.

Of course, a smart person knows everything.Ye Qinglan quickly responded, with sincere gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law will definitely learn from it."

Madam Zheng nodded with a smile.

The next morning, Ye Qinglan got up as soon as she arrived at Maoshi.

In a daze, Gu Xinian felt a chill in his arms, and then woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and asked, "It's not yet dawn, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Ye Qinglan had already put on her dress neatly, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you last night? From now on, I will follow my mother-in-law to learn how to manage the house. Mao Shizheng went to Jingxin Garden to pick up the right cards. Of course I have to get up early."

With that said, he called the maids to come into the house to wait for him to wash up.

Without the warm and fragrant nephrite jade in his arms, Gu Xinian lost the interest in staying in bed, so he also got up and dressed together.After packing up, the husband and wife went to Jingxin Garden together.

Mrs. Zheng was quite satisfied to see that she had come early.After having breakfast together, Gu Xinian went to the official office.Mrs. Zheng led Ye Qinglan to the East Room where the usual directors were.Madam Zheng sat down, and Ye Qinglan stood behind Madam Zheng.Then the mothers in charge came in to say hello one by one, and reported the things to be done for the day in short words.

Mrs. Zheng listened nonchalantly, and occasionally asked a few questions. As long as she frowned slightly, the mother in charge immediately became nervous, and carefully explained the matter again.Mrs. Zheng listened, her brows relaxed, and the mother in charge would secretly breathe a sigh of relief.If Mrs. Zheng's face darkened slightly, the mother in charge would rack her brains to continue explaining.

Just listen to it one by one, until all the cards are collected, about an hour later.

Then, another wave of mothers in charge came in, this time dealing with personnel issues in the mansion.As big as the marriage between the servant and the maid, as small as which of the servants is sick and needs to recuperate and deploy additional staff, etc., they must be reported to Mrs. Zheng one by one.

After finishing all this work, it will be almost noon.

After having lunch and taking a nap for an hour, Mrs. Zheng got up to wash up again, and then sat down in the Dongji room again.What I want to look at this time is the account books, and what I want to check is the accounts of the past month.

How many shops and how many farms are under the name of the mansion, after checking the income one by one, the expenses will be liquidated.The cost of each courtyard, the monthly payment of all servants, plus the expenditure of human relations, etc.At this time, the bookkeeping method adopts a flow-based method. Although the records are clear, they are also very cumbersome.There are two full account books in one month.To clear everything, one afternoon is obviously not enough.

Although Ye Qinglan had learned how to read the ledger, she still felt dizzy after reading it all afternoon.But Mrs. Zheng was only a little tired, but her energy was not bad, she even laughed and teased Ye Qinglan: "After this day, do you feel very tired?"

Ye Qinglan didn't try to be brave, and smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I didn't know how difficult it is to be a good mistress until today. I thought it was too simple before."

She spoke frankly and directly, which won Mrs. Zheng's favor, and said with a friendly smile: "This is just the beginning, and it is inevitable to feel dazzled when I come into contact with these things. In fact, after a few days, I get used to it, and it will be fine." After a pause, he continued: "When I married and gave birth to Xi Nian, I was asked to take care of the housework. Your grandmother didn't have much patience, and she didn't teach you anything in detail. I was in a hurry and suffered a lot at first. Wait It took about half a year before I gradually got used to it. You are smart and careful, and if I take you with me, within three months, you will be able to try to take care of some things."

Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart, and said yes softly.

For the next few days, Ye Qinglan followed Madam Zheng.She has an excellent memory, and soon remembered all the respectable mothers in charge, and then silently observed each person's temperament and behavior.Those stewards are all sophisticated, shrewd and tactful people, so they can naturally see that Mrs. Zheng is cultivating with care.She didn't dare to neglect Ye Qinglan, a young mistress who had just been married.

After a long time, Gu Xinian's siblings began to feel dissatisfied.

The first person who was dissatisfied was Gu Xiyu. She said coquettishly in front of Mrs. Zheng: "Mother, my sister-in-law is following you to learn housekeeping every day, and I don't have time to accompany me. I'm so bored by myself all day. Don't let my sister-in-law learn these things." Okay, let my sister-in-law spend more time with me!"

Mrs. Zheng dotes on this daughter the most on weekdays, and she is almost obedient.But this time, he scolded with a straight face: "Yu'er, you are already 16 years old, and you are also a big girl. Why are you so ignorant! Your sister-in-law will always take over this mess in the future, learn earlier If you think about it, you will be able to get started faster in the future. You can also share some trivial matters for me. It’s good for you. what to do!"

Gu Xiyu was terribly wronged by the scolding, but she didn't dare to talk back, she hung her head and played with the hem of her clothes without saying a word.

After all, Mrs. Zheng was soft-hearted. Seeing Gu Xiyu's state, she couldn't bear to be indecisive. After thinking about it, she said: "If you feel bored by yourself, then come to Jingxin Garden together. If you don't understand some things, don't worry about it." It’s good to see and listen.”

Gu Xiyu's small face immediately wrinkled into a ball, looking pitiful: "But, I definitely can't understand or understand. Sister..." His eyes drifted over for help.

Ye Qinglan was obliged to step forward: "Sister Xiyu is not interested in these things, so don't force her! Anyway, even if she gets married, she won't be able to manage the house for a while in the future. Just learn these things slowly in the future .”

Gu Xiyu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Madam Zheng looked angry, funny and helpless, so she had no choice but to let her go: "Let's forget this time. When you have time in the future, you always have to learn from it." (To be continued.
