Chapter 67

Grandma and Mrs. Chen both refused in every possible way, but Ruoxi said with a smile: "You two sister-in-laws don't need to refuse, but by agreeing to be a joint housekeeper, you can honor the three elders at once. Isn't it a good thing? Grandma has already said it just now, what's wrong with you?" I understand that I can come to Rongshantang to ask at any time, and the daughter-in-law who is in charge just punishes me if she is disobedient. If you keep coddling, it will be a bit hypocritical!"

When the two heard what she said, they could only reluctantly agree.The grandma said with a smile: "My siblings and I have the right to send messages to the old lady and run errands, and the old lady has to decide everything!"

"Let you be in charge of the house so that I will not be burdened. Since you have taken over, you can rest assured to be the masters." The old lady said with a smile, "Both the first house and the second house are housekeepers of the grandson's daughter-in-law. I think I will let the nine Girl follow you."

Everyone was startled when they heard this, Ruoxi glanced at the teacup brought to her mouth by the eldest lady, it seemed that she was also surprised sometimes.

Early the next morning, Ruoxi got up to clean up, and then took Lue to the flower hall in the garden.As soon as I walked near the rockery, I saw the eldest grandma and the second grandma coming opposite each other.

The three greeted each other with a smile, and entered the flower hall together.The eldest grandma and the second grandma sat on the Luohan bed, and Ruoxi sat next to the beauty couch alone.

The daughter-in-law in charge had gotten the news a long time ago, knowing that the three of them were assisting the affairs of the Han House, they all came and gathered outside the flower hall.These daughter-in-laws in charge are all good people, and each of them has a little bit of mischief in their hearts.Although the eldest grandma had a sharp tongue, she had never taken care of family affairs after all, and the second grandma was a new daughter-in-law and she was not good at speaking.As for Ruoxi, in their eyes, it's just a girl's family who doesn't distinguish between grains and grains.So they relaxed three points in their hearts, and they still had a bit of meaning to watch the fun.

The girl inside came out to meet everyone and said: "Grandma and the girl have already had tea, whoever has something to do can go in."

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, and finally a daughter-in-law with a round face and small eyes stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go in first. There is an urgent matter that needs to be decided by the two grandmas and girls." After speaking, she went in first.

She belongs to Li Xinrong's family, the man is the steward of the farm, and the son is Han Wei's long-term servant, and has always been trusted by the third wife as a decent servant.

Today, she couldn't wait to be the first to come out, mainly because she was uneasy and wanted to find out what the three of Ruoxi had said.Now that the third wife has lost her power, she, a former celebrity, may have a sad life.I don't know what the two grandmas and the nine girls are doing, so she couldn't bear to go in.

She walked in and greeted the three of them with smiles all over her face.The eldest grandma took a look at her and asked her to sit down and answer.

"It's fine for the servant to stand." She didn't dare to sit, and replied with a smile: "Tomorrow, the brother of Aunt Cui, the second roommate, will marry a wife, and I have already gone back to the old lady. The old lady said that she understands, and she will call this young lady grandma."

Ruoxi's eyes narrowed after hearing this, it was the old lady who deliberately stayed to test them.The daughters-in-law who were going on at this time arrived one after another, and they were all waiting outside at the moment, listening to ask how things were going inside.If it is done properly, everyone should be cautious and fearful: if there is something insecure, I am afraid that not only will you not be afraid, but you will have to make up a lot of right and wrong jokes when you go out of the second school.

None of these daughter-in-laws in charge are easy to deal with. They poke the fire and watch the wind, follow the wind to control the rudder, bully the weak and fear the hard... eighteen kinds of martial arts are all available!If you don't frighten them on the first day, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future!

The eldest grandma glanced at Sister Li who was waiting by her side, and sneered secretly in her heart.Although the old lady deliberately used this matter to test them, if the third wife was still in charge, I am afraid that Mrs. Li would have cited many general rules for reference.The way she kept her mouth shut right now, she clearly wanted to test what the three of them had in mind.That being the case, let them get to know each other well!
Thinking of this, she asked with a smile: "What's your opinion?"

"I don't know the rules in the mansion, but last month when Aunt Qiu's sister got married, the third wife rewarded 20 taels of silver at the bottom of the box." Second Mistress thought for a while and added, lest she make a mistake, she added, "I just don't know. Is this marriage the same?"

Ruoxi only said that she didn't understand very well, and asked the two sister-in-laws to make up their minds, she just came to learn.The second mistress didn't force it after hearing this, and she didn't say much about Chen's new daughter-in-law. Among the three, she was the leader.

Sister-in-law Li replied after hearing Second Grandma's words: "The rules for marriage are the same. Last year, Aunt Sun's elder brother Xu Xian also rewarded 20 taels of silver."

"I heard that Aunt Cui's mother is also a slave in the mansion, and she used to serve in the yard of the old concubine. Speaking of which, Aunt Cui was born in the family, and she got the master's grace to release her brother from slavery. The family and the outside Are they the same?" Grandma stared at Sister Li and asked.

When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart flickered for a moment, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she hurriedly replied with a smile: "Let the slaves go to check the old accounts, and I can't remember clearly at this time."

"Sister-in-law Li has been working with the third wife for many years, and she has never heard of a single mistake, so how come she forgot it now?" The grandma laughed, "It seems that the third wife is really generous to you, and you have to check when you return to your wife on weekdays? Hurry up and come and show us, otherwise they won’t say you’re careless if you miss an errand, but they’ll say we have no idea!”

The face of Li Xinrong's family was flushed immediately, and he came out embarrassingly and hurriedly looked for the account book to mention it.Simply speaking, when everyone saw her go in and received a soft whip, they knew in their hearts that the master inside was so powerful that they didn't dare to be careless.For a while, everyone cheered up and went back to other things.

After a while, Li Xinrong's family came back with the ledger.The eldest grandma opened it and looked at it carefully for a while, then pointed to a page and said to the second grandma: "Sure enough, there is a difference between the home and the outside! The family gave birth to a child. Generally, the reward is 40 taels, and the outside is 20 taels. In those years, the old lady's room Several old aunts and grandmothers in the village had family affairs, one rewarded 100 taels, and the other gave 60 taels. The 100 taels was rewarded because the cemetery was moved across the province, and the other was a happy event. Because the old lady was a matchmaker, there was an extra 20 taels, but it was also an old lady. The wife’s personal money. The reason is written under these two pens, so it’s clear at a glance.”

"My sister-in-law is more careful, otherwise I will make a mistake and let people talk about it." The second grandmother saw her and said, "According to the rules, it should be rewarded with 40 taels."

The grandma nodded after hearing this, and ordered Ganoderma lucidum to take out 40 taels of silver to Sister-in-law Li, and left those old books for reading.

Not long after, Aunt Cui came, and the three of Ruoxi got up and gave up their seats.Aunt Cui thanked the three of them with a smile, knowing that they were busy, she didn't sit down and left.

Seeing that it was past the time for breakfast, the maids hurriedly put the food on the small kang table, and brought washbasins, brocade handkerchiefs and other things to wait for the three of them to clean their hands.

Lue came up to Ruoxi and took off the bracelet with her sleeves, and stood in front of her to serve dishes.Second Mistress saw it and said with a smile: "No wonder Second Master always said that the maids in the mansion are smart and generous, but the maids in front of Ninth Sister are actually more stable than girls from small families."
