Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 1058 How to Be a Qualified Mistress
Bai Huixia looked at her niece, she was really old. After she arrived in the guest room yesterday, she reluctantly told the girl to take care of Qiaoer and Xinggeer, but she was so tired that she just fell into bed and slept until dawn.

"Auntie is right. After dinner, go to the garden to familiarize yourself with the environment. It will be convenient for you to move around in the future."

Bai Ningxiang looked at the breakfast on the table, it was all her favorite, Xia Xue didn't take much trouble.

"Although my aunt only looked at the small courtyard next door, it's already very eye-opening. Thanks to you, it's the first time I've seen such an exquisite courtyard. Qiaoer said that there is a garden behind, and I haven't visited yet. , let’s be together in a while, and I can brag about it to the old sisters in the village when I get home.”

As Bai Huixia spoke, she helped Xia Xue serve the soup with everyone.

"The aunt has to take a good look around. Anyway, we have already arrived at our own territory. It is barely two days' journey from here to Bashan Village, so there is no need for aunt to worry."

Bai Ningxiang took a sip of the ginseng soup, and looked at Xia Xue with admiration, "The ginseng soup is well stewed, don't worry about it."

"As long as Madam likes it, the maid is thinking, you and your aunt must have exhausted a lot of energy and energy, and the ginseng black chicken soup can just make up for it." Xia Xue smiled and said, in order to taste the ginseng soup, she stared at The fire lasted for more than an hour.

"Very well done. From now on, Madam's meals will be handed over to you. Later, I will provide you with a few handymen to take good care of Madam. This general will give you a great credit." Han Jing took a sip of the porridge, satisfied Nodded, this girl is really good at cooking.

"Thank you, General. Taking care of Madam is the maidservant's duty, so I dare not take credit for it. But Madam Madam really likes cooking, and I will definitely work harder on cooking in the future, and I will definitely take good care of Madam's food."

Xia Xue blessed her body and spoke excitedly.

"This girl usually spends most of the day in the kitchen, so don't encourage her anymore, otherwise she won't be able to come out if she stays in the kitchen."

Bai Ningxiang looked at Xia Xue's shining eyes, and shook her head helplessly, her energy was comparable to that of the little boy's foodie.

Just after breakfast, Yun Ni came in to report, "Madam, the steward has gathered the servants of the mansion in the main courtyard, and they are all waiting for you to give a lecture."

"Teaching is out of the question, it's still necessary to recognize people." Bai Ningxiang looked at Han Jing, "May the general go to the barracks today?"

"Well, I have to explain it." Lu Ran, it is very necessary for him to meet him.

"Madam has full authority over the affairs of the house. You are the mistress of the house. If there is anything that needs to be adjusted, you don't need to tell me, just deal with it directly."

"Don't worry, general, I won't make things difficult for myself."

Bai Ningxiang smiled, sent the general away, and then took her aunt Qiaoer to the main courtyard.

"Xiangxiang, you teach the servants in the mansion, is it appropriate for me and Qiaoer to follow?" Bai Huixia was a little worried, even if she was a niece of a direct relative, she was also a guest here.

"Auntie is thinking about it. I didn't take you there to show off. Qiao'er has grown up, and she will also manage a family in the future. Take advantage of it now and learn more. Auntie is still not willing?"

Although Qiaoer has changed a lot, she still lacks the rules of those noble girls.

When she was in Qingdu, she was thinking about when Qiaoer and Qiaoer would ask a nun to teach them for a while, so that they would not be in a hurry in the future.

"Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you. You are more thoughtful than Auntie."

Bai Huixia looked excited, her niece was so talented that she had even seen the empress in the palace, and having her with Qiaoer was the honor that others could only dream of.

Ever since her niece married into the Han family, she also had the title of first-rank imperial order personally conferred by the lord. Even if she didn't understand anything, she could vaguely sense that the Bai family was different from before.

There is a saying that goes, a rising tide lifts all boats, and it refers to their situation.

"Why are you being polite, aunt? I know your temperament. You are always afraid of causing trouble to me. There are only us masters in the house. If aunt tries to save trouble and the servants have nothing to do, other troubles will inevitably arise."

Speaking of this, Bai Ningxiang stopped, took her aunt's hand, and reminded her.

"As the head of the house, if you want to manage a family well, you can't just be kind to others."

"For those who are restless, not only will they not be grateful, but they will think that your master is easy to bully. If you are harsh, it will appear that the mistress is mean and has no capacity for tolerance."

"So, if you want to manage a family well, sometimes you need to combine kindness and strength, and you have to relax."

"Xiangxiang is still thoughtful, but my aunt can't think so much."

Listening to her niece's theory, Bai Huixia's heart skipped a beat, "Xiangxiang, when Auntie goes back some other day, leave sister Qiao for you, and let her learn more, it's better than following me."

She was just an ignorant country woman, and she never thought about these theories.

"Don't worry, aunt. Qiao'er hasn't seen her uncle and cousin for more than half a year. Don't be in a hurry. Anyway, I'm going back after a while. Just bring her back when I can."

"Hey, okay, I'll listen to you."

Bai Huixia patted her daughter's hand, "Follow your cousin from now on, learn more and read more, ask questions when you don't understand, mother also wants to see how you look like a noble girl."

"Don't worry, mother, I will study hard." Qiaoer blushed, she knew that her mother was doing it for her own good.

It was only after Qingdu and his party did she know that there are people beyond others and others beyond others.In the past, she always felt that she had learned a lot and was complacent, but now that she thinks about it, she is really ashamed.

She will reach her age right away. If she has a cousin to teach her, she will gain more knowledge and broaden her horizons. Will the man she will marry in the future be different?

Thinking of this, Sister Qiao blushed unconsciously, with unprecedented joy in her eyes.

When Bai Ningxiang and his party returned to the main courtyard, the servants of the mansion had already been waiting for a long time.

In the corridor, someone had already set up chairs and served refreshments.

Standing at the front was a middle-aged man, plump and easy-going. He glanced at Bai Ningxiang and bowed to salute.

"Old slave Yuan Guang, I have seen Madam. Madam worked hard all the way yesterday, and this old slave did not dare to disturb her. He thought that he would become familiar with Madam today. If there is anything to do in the future, Madam can just order her directly."

"In the past, there was no master in our mansion, and the general didn't prepare too many servants. All together, there are twenty in total. Madam, please check."

"The old slave, Mrs. Xue, has seen Madam. The old slave has been entrusted by the general to manage the maids in the inner courtyard, and only obeys Madam's orders."

"..."

Bai Ningxiang was sitting in a chair on the porch, drinking tea, and listening to the servant's self-introduction... In comparison, she still likes the weather here, which is as warm as spring.

Bai Ningxiang didn't put down the teacup until the last rough envoy finished giving her name, and glanced around coldly.
