The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 58

Fang Xiuyi's thinking is actually very simple, she is a soul from another world, not herself.In the past, she worked so hard to support her two children and the elderly because she thought it was God's reward for her. It was worth the hard work to live a new life. She thought it was feasible to survive and live a good life.But now, with her sudden wealth and status, she has inexplicably become a first-class wife who does not match her husband's rank, which makes her a little worried about gains and losses.She didn't think this was still God's reward for her, what if it was the so-called flashback?Therefore, while Fang Xiuyi was enjoying the glory and wealth, she was also ready to leave at any time, maybe one day her soul would disappear.Since there is such a possibility, she hopes that the children can live well without her.Even if He Huai'an remarries later, the two children will be able to take care of themselves.So under this plan, Fang Xiuyi didn't want to take care of it too much, and there was nothing wrong with her living a simpler life.

For the next month, Fang Xiuyi discussed the rules and regulations of the mansion with the housekeeper and others every day. She listed all the company systems that she could think of, and then integrated them. After one month, the Shangshufu system was basically formed. Looking at the condensed 21 articles, Fang Xiuyi felt a sense of accomplishment.In addition, Fei Yu seemed to have gotten used to taking over the affairs of the mansion, Fang Xiuyi felt even more relieved.

When Fang Xiuyi was thinking about how to popularize these 21 items to everyone in the house, Gu Zhun posted a post saying that May 28th, the day after tomorrow, would be the eldest grandson's full moon wine, and He Huai'an's family was invited to the banquet.At this time, Fang Xiuyi had the consciousness of being the mistress of the house belatedly, and realized that the job of Mrs. Shangshu is not that simple.She has really become a frog at the bottom of a well, she only sees how to manage the mansion, but forgets that she also needs to take care of the contacts outside the mansion, and she doesn't include it in her work schedule.

After dinner, Fang Xiu found He Huai'an with a lot of preoccupations.

"My lord, have I not done well recently?"

"how do I say this?"

"In the past month, I only thought about sorting out the affairs of the mansion. I didn't expect to take care of the affairs outside the mansion. Now, after Mr. Gu posted a post, I realized how dereliction of duty I am." Fang Xiuyi felt a little selfish, even worse. Or, she felt a little frustrated. She secretly thought that she was smarter and more experienced than the women here, but the reality gave her a slap in the face. In fact, what she did was not necessarily better than them.

He Huai'an didn't want Fang Xiuyi to become the lady of Shangshu's mansion who is exquisite and comprehensive. There are not many things in the mansion and the population is simple. Sometimes he can solve them easily. What's more, in the past month, he found that Fei Yu can take full control over time. Siyuan is self-conscious and self-motivated about the affairs of the mansion, and the housekeeper is also trained by him, there is no need for Fang Xiuyi to worry about these.And as for Article 21, if it can be implemented, the management will be more effective, and rewards and punishments will be clearly defined.This wife of his doesn't seem to be that keen on power and wealth. Maybe one day she will live on the street, and maybe she will be at ease.

"Xiuyi, don't underestimate yourself. The things you have done recently are very rare. Even I sometimes find it difficult to do, but you have done a good job. I have solved the things outside the house without much trouble. Brother Gu This invitation, you just take this opportunity to go out for a walk, meet more speculators in the future, and you don’t have to force yourself if you don’t speculate.”

Fang Xiuyi was still annoyed just now, but she felt light again after being comforted by He Huai'an.

"Thank you, sir, for your tolerance! I will pay more attention to it. I will communicate with you more about the arrival and departure in the mansion in the future." Fang Xiuyi asked a little uncertainly, "My lord, in the future, do I want to stay in the mansion?" Receiving guests? Will there be many people coming to see me?"

"It should be. I blocked you for the past month. But after this time, there are probably many people who will submit greeting cards. However, don't be afraid, see you if you want to see, and decline if you don't want to see."

Although He Huai'an said very domineeringly, how could she do it, and Siyuan and Feiyu were involved!It seems that she really thought too simply before, the affairs outside the mansion are much more complicated than those inside the mansion!Should she list some topics that are suitable for chatting, and watch them more on weekdays, so that she doesn't know what to say to others.

"By the way, my lord, you are now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a high-ranking and powerful person. What if any wife wants to give you a gift from me? For example, for her adults, relatives, etc. What?" In her previous life, she saw all kinds of strange gifts, in all forms, and she couldn't guard against them.

"If there is such a person, how are you going to deal with it?" He Huai'an looked at Fang Xiuyi with a smile, this woman might have other fresher surprises.

Fang Xiuyi saw He Huai'an's malicious smile, this guy must have some countermeasures, but he insisted on seeing what she thought.Did she accept none, or all of them?Who can accept and who can't, the ghost knows how to judge, she is not a fairy, if she doesn't handle it well, her reputation will be ruined, and her official position will be lost.

"Actually, according to the current situation in the mansion and my attitude towards life, I don't need so many things outside of me. There are battles for riches and honors, and poor ways for living. If you come to me to give gifts, I will write them down in person. The gift list, and then let them draw and sign, and finally hand it over to the adults. It depends on how the adults handle it." Fang Xiuyi doesn't know those convoluted things, and for her, the best solution is to be straightforward.

He Huai'an's original intention was not to ask Fang Xiuyi to be so categorical. Whether he accepts it or not, or accepts more or less, has little effect on him. He has his own countermeasures, but hearing what Fang Xiuyi said, he also I think it's okay.Most people think that it may be more convenient to give gifts through the family members, so Fang Xiuyi will face many such things in the future. Although she is a bit tougher in doing so, she is not wrong.He could teach Fang Xiuyi to do more twists and turns, but after all, Fang Xiuyi had to face it herself, so he might as well follow her ideas and let her think less.

"Well, this method is good, simple and effective."

"My lord, don't praise me blindly. I know my shortcomings, and I can't do those complicated things. In this case, I might as well be more direct, so that everyone will not misunderstand. It's just that when people communicate with each other, it's mostly a word of courtesy. If I do this, I will inevitably be rude."

"Actually, no matter what you do, you can't escape right and wrong. Just choose the method you are good at." If you are not good at the method, you will make more mistakes.

When Fang Xiu heard it, she felt quite reasonable, yes, she is not gold or silver, so how can she be praised by everyone.

"Thank you for your enlightenment, my lord. I was still very entangled before, but it is much better now. If you don't forget your original intention, you will always be there."

After He Huaian's enlightenment, Fang Xiuyi regained his refreshment the next day, and immediately felt that the road ahead was smooth.After sending the children to school and the adults to work, she began to prepare for the banquet.The mother-in-law had just been buried, and even counting from the beginning, their three-year filial piety hadn't ended, so they had to dress more modestly.Fortunately, after discussing with He Huai'an last time, I made several sets of new clothes for everyone, which happened to come in handy this time.Fang Xiuyi spent the whole morning choosing the clothes and accessories for the family of four. He Huai'an said that the children's classes will be suspended for a day, so they need to prepare some portable things for them.

At this time, Fang Xiuyi suddenly felt that the manpower around her was not enough. In the past, life was simple, and two maids were enough, but now it seems that it is really not possible, so she thought about going back to the two maids she used last time The maid was called over.She thought of Ms. Wang again. This was her first time going out, so someone who knew the tricks had to give some advice.But Xiaotao came back and said that Ms. Wang had a fall, so she might not be able to go out with her wife.

Before this, Fang Xiuyi felt that she could handle the affairs of the mansion by herself, but yesterday she suddenly realized that she was too arrogant. There are many things here that she cannot solve alone, even if He Huai'an is on her behalf Block it, but she also needs to work hard on her own.

"Shan Xing, you can scent these clothes a little bit, make them light, not too heavy, if there is nothing, it's fine. Xiaotao and I will go to see Mama Wang. Xiaotao, go to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials for bruises. Take another 100 taels of silver ticket and come here." Fang Xiuyi didn't expect to become good friends with Mama Wang, but she hoped she could give her some pointers.

Mama Wang lives in the northwest corner of the mansion. There is a small yard dedicated to it, with three rooms in the north and three rooms in the west wing.

"I just accidentally fell down, and I'm really ashamed to ask Madam to come to visit." Seeing that Fang Xiuyi came over in person and brought so many things, Mama Wang struggled hurriedly.

As soon as Fang Xiu saw this, it seemed that it was really inconvenient, she was still a bit mean-spirited.

"Mother Wang, don't get up, lie down quickly. I heard from Xiaotao that you are unwell, so I hurried over to take a look. I haven't had Mama Wang's help recently, and I'm really in a hurry. It's really difficult to manage things in this house. "

"Ma'am, you're being polite. I don't have any skills. It's up to the adults who don't dislike them and help them manage. Now that there is a mistress in the house, and the madam is smart, those things are naturally not a problem."

"Oh, I'm not afraid of Mama Wang's jokes. My wife is also very reluctant. I have never been through such an important matter before. Seeing so many people and things in the mansion, I am really panicked." Fang Xiuyi herself has no level. The division of high and low, she thinks Mama Wang is a talented person, if she can come out to help her, she will be very grateful, "Just looking at the account book you keep, Mama Wang, I admire it, and even adults praise it. I really am Can't do it."

Looking at Fang Xiuyi's expression, Ms. Wang couldn't tell whether what she said was true or not, but she really looked down on Fang Xiuyi a bit.A mere cook can reach the sky in one step and become the wife of the Minister's Mansion. She also has an imperial order. How capable is a rural woman in managing the Minister's Mansion?

"Ma'am, it's my duty."

"Originally, Mama Wang was unwell, so I shouldn't have disturbed her, but yesterday I received a post from Mr. Gu, and I'm going to participate in Mr. Gu's grandson's full moon wine tomorrow. You know, I haven't experienced these big battles, and I This is my first time going out as a guest. Therefore, there are many things that I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know what gift to give to others. No, I just licked my face and asked Mama Wang for advice.”

Ms. Wang looked at Fang Xiuyi strangely. Regardless of Fang Xiuyi's previous background, she is a wife after all, but now she uses such inappropriate words to ask for advice.

"Madam really thinks highly of me. I just have a little more experience than Madam, so I don't dare to give advice." Although Mama Wang looked down on Shang Xiuyi, she was not the kind of person who was innocent. Besides, she knew herself Just a servant in the house.

"Mother Wang is really humble. To me, your experience is a treasure house?!"

Fang Xiuyi's humbly asking for advice partially satisfied Ms. Wang's vanity, so she gave a lot of advice.Fang Xiu quickly wrote down how many purses to prepare, what to put in them, and how many people, including children, she would meet who needed to give presents; how many more jewelry to wear on her body, including on her head, and one or two expensive ones That’s fine, the others can be a little less important, it doesn’t affect your identity, in case you encounter someone unexpected, you can give away the jewelry on your body at any time, which not only shows your value, but also shows your kindness; prepare a set of clothes in the car that are the same as the ones on your body , just in case; Feiyu not only has a maid, but also a nanny; and so on a lot of precautions. Later, Fang Xiuyi felt that his brain was not enough, but he still repeated one by one for Wang Mama to see if it was right. There are omissions.

No matter what Mama Wang's attitude is or what opinion she has on her, Fang Xiuyi is very grateful to her for teaching her everything this time. At least, Mama Wang still has a sense of the overall situation and did not disregard the face of the Shangshufu because of her own opinions. For this point, Fang Xiuyi also admires Mama Wang very much, so it's no wonder that He Huai'an can always let Mama Wang serve by her side.It seems that He Huai'an's vision is really good, she still has a lot to learn.

After returning from Mama Wang's place, Fang Xiu went to the warehouse in person, looked at the booklet, and picked out gifts, not only for the little protagonist, but also for Mr. Gu's other children. Gu Zhun also had a daughter who was the same age as Fei Yu. Very baby.I picked up a lot of things here and there, and asked Xiaotao and Shanxing to pack them one by one.

This tossing is a whole day, and at night, the family discusses tomorrow's banquet together.

"My lord, this is the gift I chose today. Take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it." Fang Xiu handed the gift list to He Huai'an.

He Huai'an glanced at it and said, "No problem. However, I have already prepared a gift, and you will add it to the gift list later."

"Okay, my lord." Fang Xiuyi said to Fei Yu again, "Fei Yu, you will bring two maids and a nanny with you tomorrow."

"I see, mother, I'm going to take Chuyue, Xiaoshuang, and Mama Zheng with me."

Fang Xiu nodded, Chuyue and Xiaoshuang followed Fei Yu to school every day, and Mama Zheng was a taciturn old man who had a good sense of progress and retreat.

"Where's Siyuan?"

"Mother, don't worry, Dad picked two young servants for me, and they have been following me recently. Besides, Gu Fu, I am familiar with Fei Yu, so don't worry too much, Mom. Fei Yu and I both know it well." Siyuan Xiao At a young age, he already looks like an adult.

"Well, I believe in you. But there will be many people tomorrow, accidents are inevitable, and I can't always be by your side. You must take care of yourself. Don't be reckless when things happen, just do your best. There are adults and me too. "

The two children agreed again and again.
