reborn child bride

Chapter 107 Handing over power (3)
"Xiao Ji is fine." Wei Ying held Shen Ji's hand.

Shen Ji smiled slightly, "If you can't do it, you have to do it. I don't want my family's money to be in the hands of others. I'm still under control in my own family."

Aunt Wei was displeased when she heard this. The newly married young daughter-in-law, who has not been a daughter-in-law for many years, has become a mother-in-law and is under the control of her mother-in-law.But when she thought of her own identity, she could only suppress her displeasure.Speaking of Shen Ji's respect for her, their identities at the moment have also been subverted.Shen Ji is now the master, while she is only half slave and half master.

Aunt Wei was very conflicted, Shen Ji became Wei Ying's main wife, so naturally she would treat herself kindly.However, a girl bought by herself became her master, and she still felt a little indescribable.

Wei Ying didn't think much about it, after all, he was educated by the way of Confucius and Mencius, and his concubines valued it very much.He can regard Aunt Wei as his mother from the bottom of his heart and take good care of her.Just like in the past, although he called Aunt Wei "Mother", she still called him Young Master in private, and he has been the master of the house since he was ten years old.Shen Ji is his wife and the hostess of this family.Of course, everything in the inner house is up to her.

As for Shen Ji, she has long been used to it, and would discuss with Wei Ying whenever she had something to do.Wei Ying's agreement means that Aunt Wei agreed, and she never disagrees.It would be nice to offer the old man up to enjoy his old age.But she has to decide for herself in this family.At this moment, she didn't even think that she and Aunt Wei would have any problems of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The three of them had lunch together, Shen Ji and Wei Ying's dishes were brought over by the girl in big boxes.One of the sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup was very suitable for Shen Ji's taste. She ate two bowls of rice deliciously.After the meal, they drank tea and talked for a while before they came out.

"Xiao Ji, there is still a place I haven't seen, do you want to go back and take a rest?"

Shen Ji looked at the scorching sun, Wei Ying said: "It's indoors, let's go."

What he took her to see was the warehouse, where yesterday's congratulatory gifts were stored and registered.There are also some things that the old man gave Wei Ying back home before.Shen Ji took a rough look at the roster. Except for members of the Wei clan, most of the people who came to congratulate yesterday were officials below the fourth rank.She walked over to open the box and looked at the things one by one.There are coral treasure trees, agate bead strings, a dazzling array, and many calligraphy and paintings, all of which are treasures.

"Is there anything you like in particular, pick it up and put it in the room?"

Shen Ji picked out a few calligraphy and paintings, a purple sand tea set, and a palace fan.Wei Ying also took a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study from it and sent it to his study.

"Well, let's go back." Wei Ying took a few days of marriage leave with Shangfeng, so he had time to stay at home with Shen Ji.Shen Ji saw that he was like a child, showing her all the treasures from the house to the storeroom.It's just a matter of saying directly: Look, look, these are all ours!

She thought it was over, but she didn't want to go back to the house. He found a small locked box, which contained the deeds of the house and Zhuangzi's shop, and 3000 taels of silver.

"Here, I'll keep these here. I'll give you a key. When you need it, take it from inside."

Shen Ji realized that Wei Ying meant that he would support his family in the future and he could afford to support her.It seemed that he still cared about being pointed at by someone and saying that he relied on her to sell snacks for so many years.

"Zhuangzi shop, did you send someone to the delivery point to collect it?"

"I ordered it, but I didn't have much effort before, and most of the old people were used. Except for those who begged at that time or transferred away by the second aunt, everyone else was there. I guess those who left were not clean. I don’t know how much money they have swallowed me up and down these years. I have calculated that the two shops and Zhuangzi’s field have an income of 2000 taels a year from the books. A few years ago, the books went from a slight loss to no profit and loss, and then It was only in the past few years that I had this income. So that old godly woman only paid me a few thousand taels of silver." Without separation, those shops and Zhuangzi were included in the public house, and the second aunt's housekeeper naturally made money from it. A large sum of money goes into one's own pocket, and then it is left on the account mountain.

Shen Ji thought about the account books of the Lin family that she had seen. She had noticed that the Lin family could earn 2000 taels of income for shops in almost the same area.Not to mention the hot spring Zhuangzi and so much land.But it was better than she expected.It seems that the members of the Wei Clan can't see all the money going to Erfang's pocket, so Wei Ying has some left over.Seeing Wei Ying's resentful expression, he knew that he also felt that he had been cheated miserably, but there was nothing he could do about those old debts.

"In the future, I'll leave it to you to take care of all these things. In the afternoon, the servants will visit the mistress, and in a few days, the manager of the shop and the stewards of the village will kowtow to you. These matters are all up to you."

Shen Ji took it over, "Well, don't worry, leave it to me." Now that he has chosen this path, Shen Ji is not afraid of being busy.It's a good thing to be busy, otherwise, you can only be Ling Xiaohua who was born dependent on people.She is very satisfied with Wei Ying's move to hand over the financial power.

Wei Ying was lying on the bed, "Well, I don't have to be distracted when you get married." He stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Ji to lie down together, "There are still many things, let's come one by one." He got up and propped his head on the pillow to look at her.

Shen Ji played with his fingers and whispered: "Do you want to sleep in the study in the future?" It was really uncomfortable to see him endure it yesterday.

Wei Ying is also very contradictory, sleeping together like this, half is bliss, and half is inseparable.Moreover, he was really not sure that he could restrain himself all the time.But if I want to go to sleep in the study alone like this, I really don't like it.

"Let's just sleep like this." It's good to quench his thirst, but at worst, he will sleep in his own bed in the future, but it's not good to cut off welfare completely.

Last night was the first time I slept in the same bed with someone, and I didn't sleep well.So, this nap was a great night's sleep.

Wei Ying thought that Shen Ji didn't know anything about the servants at home, and when she woke up, she leaned on the big pillow and explained them in detail.

"Hong Sheng, the chief manager of the outer court, is a man who has worked with grandfather and is available. Moreover, he has a feud with the second room, and he can't get along in the old house. So, I asked for it. As for the inner house, Seventh Aunt temporarily closed it. Chen Fu is in charge, and he is also an old man in the mansion. However, he has helped me with what Aunt Seven did. Sometimes my serious master doesn’t know about it. In the future, you will be in charge of the inner house, I’m afraid he will lie to you. Take a look at this position. Is there anyone here who can take my place."

Then Xu Xu talked about the accountants, warehouses, kitchens, and sewing rooms, "Well, these are the people who will directly deal with them. Let's take a look today, and we will talk about everything after you receive the middle feed. I have already told them As I said, the matter of this inner house will be decided by you when the time comes."

"You have confidence in me. Aren't you afraid that those people will bully me for being young and inexperienced?"

"I heard that when Mrs. Lin was handling daily affairs, she told you to listen in the inner room. She said that you had become a teacher. I didn't believe it. Even if there was something incomprehensible, just learn from it. Anyway, this mansion It's just you and me plus my aunt, I'll take care of things for you."
